bought the goods, sought to collect
what was due them, and instituted an
action to have the mortgage set aside,
claiming it had been fraudulently en-
tered into between Ross & Fencke. A
trial by jury resulted in a general YER
dlct for the plaintiffs. Upon motion
OF the defendant the court set the YER
dict aside, claiming it was not in ac-
cordance with the law and the evil
dence.. Noyes Bros. & Cutler appealed.
Justice Hunt for the supreme court
affirms the Judgment of the lower
court. The question that had to be
considered by the higher court was
whether there was fraud committed in
the execution of a ~chattel mortgage
that permitted the mortgagor to remain
in possession, ito carry on the business,
make purchases and draw out a suffi-
Gent sum each month for living ex-
penses. The court says that while it
is a very close point whether a mort
gage so entered into is valid, it cannot
under the circumstances say that this
mortgage was made in bad faith and
with intent of defrauding the other
creditors.

1T HAS WORKED WELL

| There is one thing that Mayor Mad

solitary thing during the entire term
OF MS administration he may always
ilEe happily in the knowledge that it
| was through him that one of the worst
nulsances that Anaconda ever knew
was abated. That is the bad boy nuis-
dnce. SIX months ago the police were
arrestln3 boys right and left for malic-
lous mischief. The offense charged
nearly always consisted of breaking
WINDOWS, smashing doors and knocking
aoWh plastering in vacant residences
The arrests made by the police seldom
resulted in anything to the purpose
While everybody-judge police, land
lords and real estate men-wanted to
put a stop to a nuisance which had be-
come lntolerable, yet no one wanted 10

mas; and as natural consequence the
boys We're given lecture and released
AS often as they were turned loose,
however, they seemed to return to their
old practices, and it is the real estate
men VINO can testify to the vast deal of
money it has cost property owners to
repair the damage done by thoughtless
boys.
At that time it was a common sight
TO see houses, vacant only a day or
H.,
tering destroyed. doors demolished and
IN fact in state of general dlapida-
ton. NeNation Is no name for the feel
ing which possessed the people who
had vacant houses.
This state of affairs continued until
Mayor Madden promulgated q procla-
nation, by the terms Of which was Of
tered a reward for evidence which
would lead to the conviction of the
mscreants. The mayor shrewdly fig
ured it out thusly: A boy who throws
stones through windows does so in a
spirit of bravado. He doesn't think of
such thing when he is alone, but 1t
is on occasions when he is with others
that he likes to display his daring.
Now, the boy or boys who are with
him at the time of the commission of
the offense are of course pledged to
secrecy, and the secret is kept for a
time; but by and by the boy who
did the job and the boy who was with
him fall out. Then the witness, in
spirit of revenge, and in the hope of
earning the $25, tells the police about
it, and there you are
AS soon as the proclamation was is
sued the real estate agents of the city
had copies of it printed and posted
them in every vacant house. So. now,
when one sees d For rent" sign he
also sees the proclamation conspicu-
ously displayed beneath.

been that vacant houses are no longer
molested, and windows are as safe as
they are in houses that are occupied.
THE remedy has worked all right"
said a real estate agent yesterday,
land we are experiencing very little
trouble now on a score that was once
a matter of the greatest annoyance and
expense to us"
The proclamation still holds good, and
the reward Of S25 is still offered for in
formation that will lead to the convic-
ton of boys who have the turpitude to
defy Mayor Madden and his proclama-
ton.

II is the invariable rule that the bust

of the year exceeds in volume that of
any other time but the Anaconda Of
flee this year is doing the biggest bust
ness in its history. Postmaster De-
vine says that the money order bust
ness of Monday and Tuesday was the
largest of any two days since he has
been at the head of the office, Most
of this business, judging from the ma
ture of the orders filled by the Office,
was in the nature of Christmas remit
tances to friends. There is some Of this
money, however, that is sent away
to firms outside of Montana for arti-
cles that might be purchased in town
as satisfactorily. There are not many
of this class in Anaconda, however,
and this style of business is not popu.
lar here. The large majority of the
remittances that have been sent from
here this week have been for remem-
ORANGES to friends elswhere. The rush
of holiday packages is just beginning
and will this week be at its height
During the coming week, too, the rush
of incoming packages will begin. This
will reach high tide toward the end
of the week and then will continue in
a milder form for another week at

THE K, OF P. BALL.
Event Was Grand Success, Both Socially
and Financially.

and Financially.
The annual ball of the combined
lodges of the Knights of Pythias Of
Anaconda was given last evening at
Turner hall. Despite the counter at
traction at the Margaret theater, the
dance was attended by a large and
fashionable crowd. The dancing at
times was not SO enjoyable as it might
have been, owing to the crowded con-
dition of the room, but the walters
took the inevitable bumps and jolts in
the best of good nature and the sue
cess of the dance is attasted by the
fact that the crowd stayed until the
late morning hours. The music was
excellent, and altogether the affair was
one of the most enjoyable ever given
in Anaconda.
The details of the arrangements were
looked after by the following commit
tees, the personnel of which is sufficient
evidence in support of the assertion
that the dance was, both from a finan-
cial and social viewpoint, a brilliant
success:

Some Truth About Champagne.

There is more champagne drunk in
one year than the champagne district
produces in seven, but it is interesting
to know which countries take most of
the genuine article. Last year the
champagne district exported 1850, 600
liters. valued at 81, S27, $50 francs. Eng
land bought more than half the total.
Belgium followed a long way after
with 2,77S0OO ltters. Germany with
1855, 900 and the United States and
Canada with 1,419.40O liters, Russia was
satisfied with 49S, 500 liters.

COLD WAVE CAME.
But 1t Lasted Only II Few Hours During
tho Early Morning.

From the northwest a cold wave
swept in upon Anaconda early yester-
day morning and sent the temperature
down to zero. The cold, however, did
not last, for the day turned out even
warmer than the day previous. AS
early as a. m. the Thermometer regis
tered as high as 16 degrees above zero,
and during the day ran up to 25. Last
evening 15 was the lowest point
reached to midnight. Sunday there was
considerable snow, accompanied by a
disagreeabe wind, but yesterday was
clear.
Sundays snow put enough on the
ground to warrant sleighing, although
in well Travelled streets there are bare
places. Several delivery wagons were
mounted upon runners and not few

Small Coins in Greece.

The smallest coin now current in Eu-
rope, and the one having the least
value, is tire Greek lepton. The lepton
is, according to the decimal monetary
system, current in all countries belong
ing to the Latin union. Some idea Of
this valuess little disc of copper may
be gathered from the fact that the
lepton is the one-hudredth part of a

passes for the value of 20 cents.

Declaration Of Principles.

We believe in the coming of His
Kingdom whose service is perfect free
dom, because His laws, written in our
members as we'll as in nature and grace,
are perfect, converting the soul.
We believe in the gospel of the Gold
en- Rule, and that each mans habits of
life should be an example safe and
b%enef1cent for every other man to fol-
low.
We believe that God created both
man and women in His own image, and
therefore, we believe in n standard
of purity for both men and women,
and in the equal right of all to hold
opinions and to express the same with
equal freedom,
We believe in a living wage; in an
eight-hour day; in courts of concilia-
ton and arbitration; in justice as OPP
posed to greed of gain; in ''peace on
earth aud good will to men,"
We therefore formulate, and for our
selves adopt the following pledge, ask
ing our sisters of a common danger
and a common hope, to make common
cause with us, in working it's reason
able and helpful precepts into the
practice of every day life:
~ hereby solemnly promise, God
helping me, to abstain from all dis.
titled, fermented and malt liquors, in
Guiding wine, beer and cider, as a bev-
erage, and to employ all proper means
to discourage the use of and traffic in
the same.
"To confirm and enforce the rationale
of this pledge, we declare our purpose
to educate the young; to form q better
public sentiment; to reform SO far as
possible, by religious, ethical and
scientific means, the drinking classes;
to seek the drinking classes; to seek
the Transforming power of divine grace
for ourselves and all for whom we
work, that they may and we may will
fully transcend no law of pure and
wholesome living; and finally we
pledge ourselves to labor and pray
that all of these principles, founded
upon the Gospel of Christ, may be
worked out into the customs of society
and the laws of our. land."-Annual

The improvements that have been
made during the past few years in its
track, road-bed, bridges, trestles, tun-

road of the NORTHERN PACIFIC. The
road bed has been widened, trestles
filed in, new and heavier steel
rails laid, grades cut down, wooden
bridges replaced by steel ones, urves
taken out, tunnels lined with ;brick
and concrete, and improvements made
wherever possible. Hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars were spent in this way
during 1898 besides large sums in pre-
