contraband committee was appointed
to do, but still the committee gets the

a complete list OF all merchandise,
which is whiskey, sold the two years
Colonel Vance was commissioner and
L find, during Colonel Vance's first
year, while Haselden was not a member
OF the board, there was sold, as entered
upon the petty cash book, $251. The
next year, under Haselden's admins
tration as chairman, there was sold, as
entered on petty cash book 1888 66

when Haselden was not on the board,
and still he tried to stop it.
Haseiden, on July 9th, 1898, while
you were chairman, you bought con-
traband whiskey to the tune of So, and
yet your tried to stop it. Again on
November 10Th, 1898. your bought con-
traband |. w. Harper whiskey and
champagne to the amount OF $19.41,

county treasurer OF Greenville county
that he, Haselden, would be elected
chairman OF the State board OF control
and it would just suit him; he could
leave homo about night, after attend

that day, and when he went home his
train left early In the morning and he
could get home in time for break fast

This arrangement enabled him to get

A Former Montana Man Wins Praise in
Washington.

Washington.
THE State" monthly magazine,
published at Tacoma, contains a very
pleasant notice of q gentleman who
formerly lived here and who will be
gratefully remembered in this city so
long as the Butte public library en-
dures. 1t says:
1T has never been the policy of this
journal to personally mention or to
personally aggrandize any man or men
of the Northwest. We have now to
note an exception. We have to say that
the people of Belingham Bay should
appreciate the work of c. X. Larrabee
of Fairhaven. Mr.. Larrabee is a man
of great wealth. He is as well-known
in Montana as he is in Washington.
The city library building of Butte,
Montana. is a monument to his gem
erosity and his patronage of letters and
fine arts. In later years he has devoted
much of his time to the improvement
of Fairhaven and to the building of the
industries of Bellingham Bay. We
know that many will say that he has
had in view the increasement of his
personal fortune and that he has sim
ply followed the example of other men
in working for his personal welfare.
This Is true, but the manner in which
he has remained faithful and loyal to
the interests of Bellingham Bay when
Otnef tasks would nave better repaid
him deserves commentator and re-
spect. 1t was largely through his la
bors that the enormous plant of the
Pacific American Fisheries company
was located on Bellingham Bay, and in
the last two years and since the in
auguration by himself of liberal pol
Icy toward young industries the well
fare of that section of the state of
Washington has distinctly and mark
eddy improved. The latest industry is
the establishment of ship building
| works and, although the company has
not yet opened its works, the pay roll
of the Pacific American Fisheries COM
pany a few weeks ago was $500 in a
single week. A new era dawns for
Bellingham Bay and Northwest Wash
ington. An era Of prosperity and of
wealth production that will, in time,
count for a great deal. 1t has ever
been with pleasure that the State has
acknowledged the growth of this par
ticular section. 1t is with pleasure
that it now acknowledges such growth
and such prospects. 1t is with pleasure
that it gives to C. X. Larrabee the
need of praise that is due him.

ORE THIEVES.
James Shepherd Is Charged With Leading
the Assault

the Assault.
For some weeks the B. & NJ. and the
B. & B. companies have been victims
of the populations of ore thieves. Yes
terday Detectives Murphy and Ray ar
rested a man named James Shepherd,
and booked him at the police station
as the man who has led the assaults
upon the ore bins.
1t is charged that Shepherd has been
engaging young boys to steal small
amounts of ore from the bins and carry
it to his house out near the Braund
house. In this way he succeeded in
piling up a goodsized dump of rich ore
The charge is further extended to say
that Shepherd has already had several
tons of the ore treated at the Colorado
smelter and at Casey's sampling works.
When the detectives arrested the
man yesterday they discovered about
$500 worth of rich ore in his house. 1t
is said by the officers that Shepherd
of late has been assisting the boys in
their work and that as a result much
ore was transferred. There are sam
Piles of the ore at the police station,
and it is very tempting looking min

A. Wehl one of Butte's most es-

home yesterday from an extended trip
abroad. Mr.. Well travelled extensively
in England, Germany, Austria and
other European countries and visited
his old home in Hamburg, which he
had not visited in 81 years. He found
Hamburg increased from a city of
1000 people to a city of 100000 in
habitants. Mr.. Wehrs observation
was that Europe is very prosperous at
the present time, particularly Germany.
Mr., Well is warmly welcomed home

PATIENCE. THY NAME Is WOMAN.

The patience of women IS
proverbial, and it argues a
patience almost more than
human which enables them to
endure so much pain and suffer-
ing, which the joyful experience
of their happier sisters ought
surely to induce them to escape
from.
Il suffered from female
sickness for fifteen years,
writes Mrs. A. c. Scott, lie
Roy, Colo, suffered untold
agonies-doctors could not give
me any relief. a lady friend
told me to get Warmers Safe
Cure. I got a bottle and it
helped me right away. l have
taken six bottles and my health
is better than it has been for
twenty years.
And Mrs. L. B. Smith, OF
Ballston Spa, N. Y, after re-
counting how she was almost
providentially led to the use OF
Warmers Safe Cure, thus
recounts the happy results:
my nervousness is all gone,
I am able to do lots of work
and am cheerful, for l can now
say what 1 could not at one
time, that is, that everything
looks bright and life is worth
the living"
Use Warmers Safe Cure. It
will restore the rose to your
cheek, and the brightness to
your eye, and will make you
what you were intended to be,
he1pmate to your husband.

No Hanna. No nIcKinIey.

The report given out from Ohio the
day following the election, that Hanna
was to retire from the management
of the republican party, will not be
accepted by the public until the big
boss has actually retired.
Suppose, as the republican party
organs say, Hanna is personally more
of an issue than the party wants to
carry, does he not stand for exactly
what the republican party represents?
What more is Hannaism than Nc
Kinleyism?
Did not Hanna raise the money
which took Mckinley out of hook
while the president was governor?
Did not Hanna successfully manage
McKinley's campaign fer the presi-
dental nomination?
Did not Hanna hold up the trusts
and raise campaign Doodle for McKin-
ley's election to the presidency?
Has not Hanna and Mckinley kept
faith with the trusts by so shaping
the policy of the administration as to
make the people pay sixteen dollars
to the trusts for every dollar con-
tributed by the trusts to the Hanna
Mckinley campaign fund?
Because Hanna's home city of
Cleveland, which elected the republi-
can county ticket by $4,000, gave
IL. 600 plurality against Hanna's can
didate for governor, the republicans
ought not desert the man whom Pres
ident Mckinley placed in the United
States senate.
Without Hanna there would have
been no Mckinley.
