THE WARRIORS IN LINE
Salvation Army Officers Come
to Butte.
ARE HOLDING A COUNCIL
An Immense Crowd Attended the Ser
vlces-A Plan OF Campaign
Will Be Decided
Upon.

The local division of the Salvation
army was reinforced yesterday to for
midable proportions, and when the
warriors marched up Main street from
the barracks and took their stand on
Park street, headed by a brass band
all eyes turned towards them. An i'm
mense crowd surged about the Christ
ian band and listened to the eXhorta-
lions and the music. After brief open
air service the counter march was
taken up and the return to the bar
racks made, and there the meeting con-
tinued. The room was packed and
many stood out on the sidewalk.
All of the officers from different parts
of the state that We're expected to be
present at the council or convention
had not arrived last night, but it is eX-
pected that more will be in attendance
to-day. sEe&
Adjutant Hay of the local corps, who
is an earnest worker in the cause OF
humanity and salvation of souls, said
that he expected good results to accrue
from this meeting of the officers A
plan of campaign will be agreed upon
and backed up by the unanimous sup
port of the army and the good will of
the several corps it is hoped to push
the work forward with brilliant sue
cess.
In Butte the army is in a very good
condition. Its barracks are centrally
located and well equipped. 1t is a
large, comfortable room, good seats,
well ventilate ted and tidy in appearance.
1t is at No. 236 South Main street.

the dead who die in the Lord What
about those who die not in the Lord
The word blessed is omitted, and with
out much commenting of mine on this
common sense fact. for We know that
all things in this world have their OPP
poslte, and the real life beyond the
same. There are many natural laws
IN this life that will convince the
thoughtful of the real life in the spirit
ual realm.
Another clear evidence of this is
given in the text. Their works do
follow them. A few moments of ret
respect is sufficient The godly lives
of men and women 50 years and more
ago are molding the commonwealth
of to-day What means Bunker Hill
and Bull Run? These monuments
stand, but their significance increases.
We can never get away from the things
of yesterday. Our works, like our
shadow, they follow us. and we cannot
get away from them. How important,
then, that we look well to what we do
in this life, and here I have an i'm
portant word to impart. The lodge,
the links and the principles are of the
highest type of morality. But there is
something more for every Odd Fellow
to remember I am a good Odd Fell

guarded two links in the chain. Do

SATURDAY NIGHT FIRES
The Department Responded to
Three Alarms.
ONE OUTSIDE THE LIMITS
The Firemen Had Busy Night of It-A
Defective Flue-Esty Residence
Destroyed-O:I ncendi-
ary Origin.

Saturday night was quite a night for
fires. The fire department responded
to three alarms during the night and
early morning, and there was one fire
outside the city, to which the depart
ment did not go. They started in at 9
o'clock in the evening, when the resi-
dence of John Estey, at 4O51a East
Mercury street, was discovered to be
on fire. At II o'clock the department
West Park street, where an incipient
blaze, started by a defective f1ue, was
extinguished without any loss. At 3
o'clock in the morning the buildings
at the Kemper brickyard, south of the
city, were destroyed and few minutes
second run to the Estey residence
which was this time destroyed with all
the contents:
The circumstances surrounding the
destruction of the Estey residence were
of so suspicious a character as to con-
vince Fire Chief Peter Sanger that the
place was purposely fired on both oc-
casions At the time of the first alarm
the fire was extingushed with slight
damage, and as there was nothing to
indicate incendiarism, Chief Sanger
was disposed to accept as correct the
explanation that a lighted lamp had
been left in the house while the fam
lily was absent, which had probably eX-
ploded, but after the second fire Chief
Sanger had pretty positive convictions
as to the cause.
The police had suspicious after the
first fire, and about l o'clock yesterday
morning Sergeant McGrath and Detec-
tive Murphy visited the house and
went through 1t to see if there was any
signs of the place having been set.
They examined the place very care
fully They found nothing to warrant
their suspicious, but their visit to the
place had the effect of establishing to a
certainty that the second fire was not
started by any smouldering embers
that might have been overlooked by
the firemen at the time of the first
blaze. as the officers state there were
no signs of fire when they We're there
and as no one stayed in the house dur
ing the night, there was no way for
the second fire to have started without
being deliberately set by some one.
| When the department reached the
| scene in response to the second alarm
| the building was all in flames and there
was no saving it. 1t burned to the
ground with everything in 1t. The
| house was a two-room, board shack
the walls being but one board in thick
ness and lined inside with cotton cloth
| Chief Sanger described it as a "tele

ODD FELL OWS' MEMORIAL
An Eloquent Sermon by Rev.
John Hosking.
BLESSED ARE THE DEAD"
We Cannot Evade Or Bride Daath-It Is
Heavens Mandate-A Change
From Mortal to Inn
mortal

Rev. John Hosking preached the an
nual memorial sermon to the Odd Eel
lows last night in Grace NJ. E. church,
South Butte. The text was taken from
Revelation 14-13; And I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me: Write,
blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord; yea, saith the spirit, that they
may rest from their labors; and their
works do follow them"
The pastor said in part: Brothers
and Friends: The onward march of
time has brought us to another mile
stone where we engrave the names and
deeds of our deceased brothers on this
memorial tablet. We have buried their
bodies with their failings and mis-
takes; we are here to emulate the good
and to receive new inspira ton. to per-
form the part due our God, our neigh
Dor and ourselves. There are fraternal
blessings intended for each one to dis
pense to the other in this life.
THE first thought presented by the
text is the common and universal fact,
all must die The decree has gone
forth. Dust thou art and unto dust
shalt thou return So, then. the broth
ers whose memory we cherish here to-
day are no less fortunate than our
selves. We came. one by one, into
what we call life; and we all have a
part in the great drama which seems
but a day, and whether we perform our
part or not, we are met by the mes
senger we call death-in the morning,
or a. noon. or at eventide of this short
existence and change to real life-be-
cause it is eternal.
I'VE cannot evade or bride death,
for it is heavens mandate appointed
unto man once to die We do not ac-
cept the common version of the word
death: our text would be paradox
if we did. 1t cannot be a blessing to
perish. Our answer to the question
What is death?' is a change from the
mortal to the immortal, from the tenn
poral to the spiritual.
Here we note the proclamation
| Write, blessed are the dead which die in
| the Lord. Why write? Because it mus
be published. made known to the whole
| world that man may read. mark. learn
and get ready for the wonderful change
which will come to every one. The
voice from heaven said: Write. Why:
| Do not men know they must die? Dc

and the answer comes back: They are
going the way of all the earth But

WAS HELENA NONSENSE
A Malicious and Underhanded
Attack on the Falls.
HAS BUSINESS" REASONS
No City in the State Will Receive Greater
Benefit From Increased Copper
Production Than Great
Falls.

The following from the Great Falls
! Tribune will be read with interest here:
Great Falls people have never wor
ried any about the nonsense which has
been published in the Helena papers
about the purposes of the Amalgamated
Copper company with reference to
Great Falls, but Tribune reporter yes
terday in conversation with we'll
known citizen who has recently re-
turned from Butte, where he had per-
sonal talk with Mr.. DAILY, learned some
interesting and encouraging news con-
corning the plans of the big copper
company In substance he spoke as fol-
lows regarding the Helena Independent
articles and the truth as he learned
it at Butte and Anaconda:
-" Nothing could be more underhand-
ed, uncalled for and malicious than the
attack now being made on Great Falls
and Northern Montana by the Helena
Independent, in its frantic endeavor to
earn its hire by creating sentiment ia
vorable to the Montana Ore Purchasing
company and unfavorable to the Boston
& Montana company in their coming
lawsuit in the federal courts at Helena.
That any newspaper in Montana could
be found which, for either money or
spite, would deliberately set about to
destroy the credit of a whole commun
jty seems incredible But 1t is So new
ertheless, and the Independent is the
paper That sheet and the Boston &
Montana company or Mr.. Daily may not
be on the best of terms, but does that
Justify deliberate falsehood leveled at
the stability of an entire city? No words
can be used too strongly in resenting
it. The Boston & Montana company
and the Montana Ore Purchasing com
pany have an important suit against
each other in the federal court at Hell
ena, which was to have come up this
month. but has been deferred. This suit
involved an immense amount of money
and the Independent, being retained on
the side of Heinze ct al, since last
February, Great Falls was made the
target for a very raw endeaVor to Gre
ate a sentiment against the Boston &
Montana and favorable to Heinze. TIC
put it mildly, the Independent is en-
deavoring to fill the position of jury
prejudicer to case now in court. Tc
create all the prejudice possible against
the Boston & Montana company before
the case comes to trial is what is being
aimed at. That is the milk in the co.
coanut.

asking anything at the hands of Helena
or the Helena Independent. but Their,

misstatements being printed by that
sheet almost daily and a statement OF
facts in one particular may not come
amiss at this time.
The assertion i: made that Tho
Amalgamated Copper company Will
close down the smelter here and move 1t
to Anaconda This is on a par with the
one that the mines are to be moved
from Butte to Anaconda. The smelter
at Great Falls will not be shut down,
now or at any future period, while the
mines of Butte continue to produce
ores. Not only will it not be shut down,
but its capacity will be doubled and
the work has been under way for some
time past as can be seen by anyone
who cares to walk down and see the
force of men working on the construc-
ton. This will give employment to
many more men in that department
alone AS to the refining, more will be
done at Great Falls in the near future
than has perhaps been done in the en-
tire state heretofore. This will be done
not from a sentimental point of view,
but as a business proposition. In the
refining of copper an enormous amount
of electrical power is used, and the diff
ference in the cost of production of
horse power between here and other
Montana points is so great as to operate
most favorably to Great Falls:
The president of the Amalgamated
Copper company, Mr.. DAILY, stands to-
day as the best practical mining man
in the world and his judgment and
statements will be taken, l fancy, before
that of the Independent or any parties
it may represent, and while not re-
ceived for publication. I cannot but
quote his words on the matter as they
are of the utmost Importance to the
future of our city and will be most
welcome tidings to every citizen of
Northern Montana:
Great Falls will be an important
point in the future copper production
of Montana. The smelter is being
doubled in capacity, which speaks for
itself. In the refining of copper much
will be done in that city. owing to
cheapness of electrical power. 1t is
not a question of sentiment 1t is a
plain business proposition and that is
what We are doing business on Results
are what are looked for. The fact that
electrical power can be produced at
Great Falls far and away cheaper than
at any other point in Montana gives
that place an advantage in refining
which no other place possesses and one
that will be taken advantage of. You
can say this to the people of Great
Falls, if you care to, from me. 1t is no
secret. Mines and smelters are not run
by sentiment, 1t takes dollars and
cents, and dividends. not bouquets. are
looked for by stockholders. Great Falls
will have plenty to do and idle talk
cannot prevent it. No city in Montana
will benefit more than Great Falls from
the increased production of copper" ;"

Nine thousand spectators witnessed
the great fight for the championship OF

n illions anxiously received the news as
it was flashed over the associated press
wires. Demonstration in Butte was the
widest since the war excitement ore

the merits of the fight were widely dis

A report comes from Spokane that
will create much surprise and probably
CONSERVATION in the city. The Chroni-

another case of smallpox has been dis
covered in the city. w E. Jones, a pas

developed case of smallpox and was
taken to the isolation hospital. The pas

the man was discovered. The railroad
officials promised to lay off the car in

was no fire protection and all the men
could do was to save the surrounding

that it did not start from the fireboX in
