Mr.. Hoar devoted the greater part OF
his reply TO a defense of Aguinaldo.
whom ne compared to Simon Bolivar, the
South America patriot. II would be re-
membered, he said that Bolivar also had
upon occasion taken upon himself the
title of dictator. and yet who. on this
account, could accuse the Bolivian liber-
ator of being false to his people or TO their
aspirations for freedom? Aguinaldo
had so far shown himself TO be a shrewd
nnd able leader, and he had not by any
act Of his shown himself to be Incapable
OF the highest degree of leadership.
During the course OF his remarks,
Senator Hoar said. that, the argument
aad been advanced that the United States
should be near at hand 10 participate in
the predicted partition of China, and
proceeded to say that the argument in
dicated a disposition to grasp even more
territory than had yet been taken. Such
policy, he thought. should be nipped
in the bud, as he was very confident that
the people of the United states would
not profit by Joining the European pow
ers in their efforts to distribute among
themselves the possessions Of this an
cient empire.
This last remark brought Senator
Davis to his feet. While his name had
not been mentioned IL was evident that
Mr.. Hoar alluded to remark of the
Minnesota senator. The latter said he
had not advocated any participation by
the United States in the process OF dis
memberment, but that he had only al
luded TO its probability, and had said
merely that the United States should be
on hand to protect their own interests.
The house entered upon the consid-
Grafton of the river and harbor bill yes
terday, and made rapid progress. Fifty
OF the Sc pages Of the bill had been
completed when the house adjourned.
The bill appropriates directly about $12,
100000 and authorizes contracts to the
extent Of $4,000, 900 additional. The
general debate was unusually brief.
Its feature was a speech in opposition 10
the bill by Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa. who
has fought every river and harbor bill
for the past six years. He said he knew
his opposition would avail nothing, as
the votes for its passage had been ar
ranged for by the appropriations in the
bill. He attacked particularly the Mis-
sissippi river improvements, which was
ably defended by Mr.. Catchings of Mis-.
sissippi.
Practically the only amendment
adopted yesterday was one striking out
an appropriation OF $685. for chan
mel from Galveston to Texas City, Tex,
which was opposed by Mr.. Hawley OF
Texas because the war department had
made no report upon the feasibility of
the project.

the CLASSY sidewalk to come off the
perch The banana peel wasn't in it.
1t was the smoothest snow that ever
turned a rule on mans meditation. 1t
was a good-natured storm. 1t spread
its presence over the city without a
growl or a chilly blast. 1t just settled
down because Butte was prepared to re-
ceive it. The unpaved streets were
made to resemble the banks of the Wa
bash after a hog drive.
Some remarkable acrobatic evolutions
were witnessed on street corners. Those
who were in a hurry to get there fur
nished the amusement. At one corner
of Park and Main three men and two
women, to say nothing of the dogs, fell
in a heap just where the slush was
thickest. That event spoiled a couple
of shopping tours and few hard hats.
policeman was passing the entrance
of the California cafe when an ava
lanche shot down from the toboggan
slide roof The officer in an effort to
escape being buried alive, jumped too
far to the right and down the stairs
he went, through the glass doors and
alighted in the umbrella rack. He
forthwith vagged the snow bank.
Sleighing was not good and wheeling
was worse. The street car motors con-
sumed much sand and rubbers We're a
necessity. The storm carried with it
the assurances of a repetition.

ANOTHER man SET FREE
Had Been Kept in Jail Without q
Trial.
CHARLES SWARD THE MAN
Was in Confinement Two Months Be-
fore the County Attorney Was
Notified of the Fact-A Re-
naarkable Request.

County Attorney Connolly turned an
other man out of Jail yesterday without
a trial, making four within as many
days. One was charged with murder
and three with robbery. The lucky man
yesterday was Charles S. Sward, who
had been held over to the district court
by Justice OF the Peace Kirkwood of
Meaderville on the charge of robbery.
The proceedings in the justice court, by
which Sward was arrested and bound
over, did not meet with the approval Of
the county attorney, who claimed he
had had no notice of Sward's case until
after he had been in Jail over two
months, when he was informed of the.
fact by Sward's attorney. The case was
called up yesterday morning, when Mr..
Connolly intended to make a request
for leave not to file an information
against Sward. remarkable opposi-
ton to Sward's release from jail sprang
up. His attorney, Joseph Rice, asked to
have the matter continued for week
for he had not yet been paid his fees.
The attorney said he was expecting to
get settlement out of Sward's friends,
and would be able to get his fee if the
matter was continued for one week.
"Oh, that won't do" said Judge
Clancy. You are too slow. I can't
keep this man in Jail for any such rea-
son."
But, have talked to the defendant
and he does not object" persisted the
attorney.
The court finally put the matter off
until 2 o'clock in the afternoon to give
the county attorney time to prepare a
statement of the case and when court
tistic roasts, the subject of it being JUS
met again at that hour he read long
statement, and delivered one of his ar
tice Kirkwood, who drew up the COM
plant against Sward at the request of
one of the alleged witnesses against
him and also deputized the witness to
make the arrest. A special prosecutor
was appointed and Sward was bound
over on the testimony of several wit
nesses who said that they recognized in
general way the defendant as one of
the men who held up DQminick Salkps
saloon. They claimed to have recog-
nized him by his general appearance
and by his voice. The county attorney
in his statement said he got his infor-
nation mostly from Sward's attorney.
After the court had heard Mr.. Connolly
an order was made that Sward be dis
charged, and he lost no time in getting
out of the room, closely followed by his
attorney.
Mr.. Connolly also announced in court
yesterday that he would probably ask
to have the case against Gus Nelson
dismissed. Nelson was tried once for
attempting to murder man named
Johnson, but the jury disagreed and he
is now out on bail awaiting a new trial.
The court set the matter for hearing
next Saturday.

A VICTIM OF HIS WIFE !.
Harrington Made a Courageous
Confession.
HIS STORY OF CRUELTY
Hs Alleges That He Is The Worst Abused
Husband in the State, and the
Court Came to the Same
Conclusion.

It is not often that man is found
who has the courage to get up in pub
lie and confess himself the helpless VIC
tim of a wife's cruelty Michael Har-
rington is one of those rare and cour-
ageous fellows. In Judge Clancy's
court yesterday he gave testimony in
support of his action for divorce
against Mary Harrington and told the
court that he had been one of the worst
abused husbands on earth. He said he
married the defendant in Butte in Au-
gust, 1893. and that they have three
children who have been abandoned by
their mother. He said that before she
left him, about three months ago, it
was a daily occurrence to be abused
and assaulted by her. She frequently
beat him, blackened his eyes, threat
ened to poison him and chased him
with a carving knife.
Relate some of the particulars of her
treatment Of you,' said Harrington's
attorney.
well, she did not treat me all right"
he said. IT did not care much for my
self, but I asked her to take better care
of the children and she told me to take
them and get out"
How about assaulting you with a
knife?''
Yes, she said if did not so she
would poison me-
How about her refusal to cook for
your"
Il had to cook my own meals my
SELF
Harrington said his wife left her
home about three months ago and said
she wanted to "go on her own hook"
and earn her own living, and he was
compelled to send the children to the
Sisters Home in Helena.
DO you think it is possible for you to
live together again?"
mo, at least I cannot"
Harrington said he did not know
where his wife was at present though
he thought she was in town some
where.
rs she sane or insane?" asked Judge
Clancy.
ct don't think she is any too sane"
replied Harrington.
1.-THE way you set up things in your
complaint and swear to them" said
the court, 'it led me to think she is
crazy. How was she before you mar
ried her, while you were counting
her?" va
"She seemed all right then"
Two other witnesses testified that
Mrs. Harrington raised - with her
husband and called him names.
Pet names, l suppose" put in the
court.
Yes, pet names" said the witness.
One of the witnesses said he fire.
quently heard the woman threaten to
brain her husband. and one day while
Harrington was visiting the home of
the witness his wife came in and beat
him and ordered him to go home. She
also abused and neglected her chill
dren.
Judge Clancy granted Harrington
decree of divorce and gave him the
care and custody of the three chill
dren.

The Ad-Writer holds to the argument
that of all the various kinds of adver-
Using, there is none equal to regular
legitimate newspaper advertising. Only
those with money to experiment with
can afford to use the other kind of adj
vertising. Of course one can waste
money in newspaper space but not
near SO easily as in other kinds of ad-
vertising. One must buy newspaper
space at the right price and in the right
paper and use bright, catchy advertise
ments in this space, and the returns
will, in nine cases out of ten, be profit
able. Every business man should learn
to use the newspaper columns to their
full earning capacity before trying
other kinds of advertising.

JOHN SPLAN A HAPPY MAN
THE HORSEMAN FINDS HIS LONG
. LOST MOTHER.
Ran Away From His Parents in Utica,
N. Y, ThirtyFive Years Ago.
Happy Meeting.

Chicago, Jan. 2s.-John Splan, famous
in horse affairs of America and Europe,
Is the happiest man in Chicago to-ay
Thirty-five years ago he ran away from
his parents in Utica, N. Y, and no trace
of his whereabouts could be found. Mrs.
Splan, who is so years old, is almost
overcome with joy at finding her lest
son.
few days ago Captain Mahoney Of
the Harrison street police station called
John Splan's office at the stock yards
up on the telephone and asked Splan If
he knew of anyone of the same name
in the horse business.
Yes, 1 know a man in Indianapolis.
he replied.
well, | have an old lady in my office
who is searching for her son. / think
the indianapolis party must be the man
wanted.
'Detain her until I can run down."
said Mr.. splan.
Thirty minutes later Splan was in the
presence of his long lost parent. She
told him her name was Helen Splan,
and of her desire to find her son.
Il know him and will fetch him to
you Tomorrow replied Mr.. Splan, not
disclosing his identity.
Mrs. Splan returned to her home hear
Dunning, and next day Mr.. Splan sent
his wife to break the news to mother"
The meeting was very affecting. Moth
er Splan was grateful, but philosophic-
ally said II always knew 1 would see
him before I died"
Mrs. Splan, after leaving Little Falls
went to Kansas City to live. Ten years
ago she came to Chicago and went to
live with friends near Cumming. From
now on she will make her home with
her long lost son and his wife.
John Splan was born at Little Falls,
N. Y, in 1S49. AT the age of 10 his faith
er died and young Splan, imbued with
a desire to see the world, ran away
going to Utica. Here is where John
Splan's career as a horseman began. A
few hours after his arrival at Utica he
had hired to work in a livery stable in
which several race horses were kept.
Young Splan in a few days drove one
of the horses to victory. He was not
contented, however, and left for ST.
Louis. From there he went to New
Orleans, where he drove many horses,
Next he went to Havana and thence to
New York, arriving in the latter place
10 years after he left Little Falls.
Then he began a search for his moth
err, but was unsuccessful, and his fail
ure to find her discouraged him of ever
seeing her again. The next ten years
were spent in New York, where he
gained a national reputation. Since
then he has driven on every track of
reputation in the United States.

up than he became violent and fought
imaginary foes with demoniacal fury.
AS there was no place to properly CON
fine him in the city prison, he was
taken to the county jail.

The best wax figures in the world are

figures cost $500 They are made entirely
of wax, and are the exact counterparts

first figure was sculptured after French

the little French model and the patite
dainty figure in wax is that the girl of
flesh and blood has dark hair and the
hair of the wax figure is yellow. The
second figure is that of an American wo-
