Trial of william Mckenzie to Come Up
Tomorrow in Police Court.


Another large crowd was present in
the police court yesterday to hear the
trial of William Mckenzie, otherwise
known as Professor Langdon, who is
charged with frequenting houses of
prostitution. When the case was called,
Attorney Sawyer, for the defense, an
nounced that his client was ready to
enter his plea to the complaint which
had been filed by the chief of police
the day previous. The defendant plead
ed not guilty.
Attorney Sawyer asked the court that
the case be tried by jury, saying that
according to the statute and the city
ordinance the defendant was entitled
to such a trial, as the offense with
which he was charged was a misde-
meanor.
City Attorney Boardman, on behalf Of
the prosecution, resisted the demand
and made numerous citations to sup
port his contention.
Magistrate J. M. Kennedy then said:
Gentlemen, l would be pleased to
have this case transferred to the Shout
ders of jury, but l have no such right
and l cannot grant this demand"
The defense asked that a few days
be granted them in which to prepare
their case, but Mr.. Boardman objected,
saying:
THE city insists upon an immediate
trial of this case. There are several
officers here who are working all night
and who lose couple of hours sleep
by having to come here day after day.
! say if this man is guilty let him be
sentenced, but If he is not guilty, then

MONTANA NEWS
STILL WRANGLlNG.
Higgins Avenue Improvement May Not
BE Made This Year.

Abc NhauV lhis hC9E'
Missoula, Aug. 23-Thursday. is the
last day of grace that was allowed by
the council for r.. Schiendal to furnish
his bonds and to sign the contract for
the Improvement of Higgins avenue.
When the contract was awarded to Mr..
Schiendal it was not known who he
was, but a gentleman who comes from
Hamilton says that Schiendal lives
there and has done considerable con-
tract work in the Bitter Root Whether
he will come down Tomorrow and COM
plete the formalities of signing the con-
tract is the question that is being much
discussed here tonight.
The council will meet Thursday night
to give him an opportunity to do so. In
case this is not done, the council will
take further action in the matter. At
the time Of the last meeting, Monday
night, it was understood by the alder
men that if Schiendal did not appear
the contract would be awarded to the
next lowest bidder. 1t is said tonight,
however, that this will not be done and
that the council will consider the mo-
ton made Monday night by Alderman
Mix to indefinitely postpone the consid-
Grafton of bids. In that case the inn
provement of the avenue will go over
until next year or indefinitely.
The opinion that is held by many of
those interested in the matter - that
the season is so far advanced that it is
too late to begin the work this fall. This
is the view expressed by Alderman
Coffee Monday night. There are others,
like Alderman Gibson, who hold the
opinion that there is plenty of time in
which to do the work this fall and that
it should be done at once. These will
be the questions that will be considered
at the meeting Thursday night.
The lakes are full tonight, as a re-
suit of rains, and some wag has placed
a sign in the largest of the pools that
bears the words, Stones Fish Pond
If the lakes increase in size they will
have to be called boating ponds

TO VOTE A SPECIAL LEVY
School Election to Be Held in
Anaconda To-Day.
MORE MONEY IS NEEDED
II the Schools Are to Be Run as Here
tofore Twenty Thousand Dollars
More Than Regular Levy
Is Necessary.

This Is election day.
Although attention has been called to
the fact several times, it is more than
probable that not one voter in five re-
members that the citizens of Ana
conda are to be called upon to-day to
decide an important matter
The question to be submitted is, in
substance: Shall an additional and
special levy of four mills on the dollar
be laid on all property embraced with
in school district No. 10, which en-
braces the city of Anaconda and Car
roll?
1t costs about $40, 200 year to operate
the schools of Anaconda on the high
plane they have been managed hereto
fore. The regular tax levy, which is
the same all over the county--four mills
yields this district about $4,000. Ac-
cordingly about $4,000 more must be
secured by special taxation.
The exact valuation of property In
this school district has not yet been
totaled. 1t will be almost the same as
last year, when the valuation was fixed
at S5026,622. A four-mill levy on that
valuation would produce $20106. AS
This is close to the sum that will be
raised.
The voting place today will be the
Central school, and the judges of cleo
ton will be S. Templeman, Henry S.
Redmond and Roger Edwards. The
polls will be open from a. m. to p.
m. A majority of all the votes cast
carries the proposition.
Immediately after the votes are
counted the school board will meet to
canvass the vote. 1t is thought the
vote will be light, as there is little in
terest in the proposed new levy.

WAKING OF THE SLEEPER.
IL Little the Worse for His Twenty
Four Hour Nap.

IL Little the Worse for His Twenty
Four Hour Nap.
Little, If any. the worse for his long
rest the sleeper, Claude Anderson, who
was put to sleep by Flint, the hypnotist,
Tuesday night, was awakened last even
ing by the hypnotist. All day long An
derson lay on a couch in a prominent
Main street show window. Crowds
watched him. hammered on the glass now
and then and made remarks that would
have caused a craven image to laugh
but never a muscle of Anderson's face
moved.
Now and then he would move from one
side of the couch to the other or wiggle
his toes, but his eyes were shut tight
the entire time.
Before awakening him Mr.. Flint
propped Anderson up in a chair at the
back of the stage in the Margaret and al
lowed the audience to gaze upon him.
Then Mr.. Flint gave a little lecture, in
which he told of s. Weir Mitchelrs theory
of rest as a cure for mental and physical
ailments and intimated that Andersons
sleep would prove most beneficial.
Finally he went at the subject, yanked
the young mans jaw told him to wake
up and kept poking and talking at him
until he did. Anderson rolled his head
and arms as preliminary then threw up
his chest did a sort of contortion act
then finally sat up and smiled. He then
rather stiffiy, walked off and into the
arms of an attendant with blanket. This
is the fifth time he has been placed in
the trance.
Following this the F'lints gave their
usual entertainment, varying it with new
features. Some of the same old sub
jects' were among those who volunteered
to go on the platform, but there were
several new ones. Among the new things
the subjects" did in the performance
was to give a cake walk in costumes
they donned for the purpose.
The Flints will be at the theater the
three remaining nights of this week.

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little
Daughters Life.

am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of expe-
rience with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in it's worst form. We thought she
would die. l tried everything l could
think of, but nothing seemed TO do her
any good. I saw by an advertisement
in our paper that Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and get
a bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines We ever had
in the house. 1t saved my little daugh-
ters life. l am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had l known it at first
it would have saved me a great deal
of anxiety and my little daughter much
suffering. Yours truly, Mrs. George F.
Burdick, Liberty, r. l.
The soothing and healing properties
of Chamberlains Cough Remedy, its
pleasant taste and prompt and perma-
nent cures, have made IT a great favor
lite with the people everywhere.
Troublesome to the Army.
During the civil war, as we'll as In
our late war with Spain. diarrhoea was
one of the most troublesome diseases
the army had to contend with. In
many instances 1t became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from it.

Greene county, Pennsylvania, is one
Of these. He uses Chamberlain's Collie,

says he never found anything that
would give him such quick relief. F2y
