THE HANDSOME REWARD FOR A
SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.
Disposition of the Mahd's Head Comes
Under Dscussion-It Was Done to
Root out Superstition.

LONDON, June 5.-The House of
Commons today voted to General Lord
Kitchener a grant of G39,351 The c 30
900 is for the sirdar and the rest for GER
tain members of the British expedition
that conquered the Mahdists.
Mr.. Balfour in introducing the vote
of 100000 for Lord Kitchener said the
fact that the power of Mahdism was
crushed was due to the genius of the
man they desired to honor and reward.
He dwelt with admiration on the way
the srdar had surmounted difficulties
and organized victories by his I'M
swerving and almost superhuman In
dustry."
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
opposition leader, cordially supported
the motion, while expressing regret at
the treatment of the Mahdi's body,
which he regarded as an error of taste
and judgment.
John Morley. former Liberal chief sec
rotary for Ireland, opposed the vote on
the ground of the treatment of the
Mahdis head, to which Mr.. Balfour re-
piled that he did not believe the element
of vengeance had Influenced General
Kitchener in the smallest degree, pc Mt
ing out that he had treated the Nal is
family with the utmost considerat on.
The removal of the body, he also said.
had been public, as publicity was an es-
sential part of the policy debating the
act. 1t was the first duty of the man
responsible for the safety of the men
and officers left in charge of Omdur-
man to root out the fanatical supersti-
ton which had been the strength of
Mahdism for years. Mr.. Balfour admit
ted, however, that perhaps the renter
ment of the remains might have Neen
conducted in a better manner.

WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE POOR.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage OF
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until nee
essity compels it and then ruin his best
horse going for a doctor and have a big
doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays out
20 cents the other is out a hundred dot
lars and then wonders why his neighbor
is getting richer while he is getting
poorer. For sale by all dealers and
druggists. Benson, Smith & Company,

APPENDICITIS.
Prevalence of the Disease Reasons
for Operation Given.

Surgeons admit that IS per cent of
all cases of appendicitis will recover
without operation. but claim that 9s
per cent could be saved by operating
promptly on every case as soon as dis
covered. says a writer in The Medical
Record.
This disease discloses debate of
great significance, for physicians are
disinclned to turn all cases to the sur
geon. Morris has estimated that there
are 100000 new cases of appendicitis
discovered each year in the United
States. If this be true. and the sur
geons are right, 10000 of them would
be ruthlessly sacrificed under medical
treatment.
But physicians assert that autopsies
upon subjects that have died from 9th
er diseases than appendicitis show old
infammatory processes about the APP
pendiX in one third of the cases, just
as old tuberculous cicatrices are found
in the lungs Where tuberculosis has
never been suspected.
In other words, one-third of all COM
ing to the autopsy table, and by in
ference, large proportion of the pop
ulation. have gotten well spontaneous
ly from an unsupported trouble which
would have subjected them TO a life
endangering operation had they fallen
into the hands of a surgeon of sutfi-
cient skill to make the diagnosis.

CARLETON'S SIDE Of It
Silver Bow County Institute Ille-
gally Called.
IT WAS UNAUTHORIZED
Reasons Why the Institute Should Be
Held in September - An Opinion
Rendered by Attorney Gem
eral Nolan.

The following communication has
been received from State Superintend-
ent of Schools f. A. Carleton:
To the Editor of the Standard
IN the issue of your paper of last
Saturday there is an article relative to
the Silver Bow county institute which
calls for statement from me-
1t is significant that the same article
appears. verbatim, in both the Standard
and the Miner of Saturday, showing
that it was written for both papers by
the same person, and, I infer, by a
gentleman not connected with either
1t is quite evident, in view of all the
facts connected with this matter, that
this article was prepared to fit the oc-
casion. 1t is remarkable for what it
omits rather than what it contains.
Since the matter has become public,
/ desire to supply the omissions in the
article in question. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
THE Silver Bow county institute will
be held in the Butte City High school
as officially announced by County Su-
perntendent Miss Downey, on the 10th
proNimo. The date is entirely satisfac-
tory to teachers and all others inter-
ested in the schools excepting, possibly,
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Carleton. MIR. Carleton demurs,
but after advising with County Attor-
ney Connolly and Attorney General No
Ian, Miss Downey decided to proceed
with the institute. believing that the
needs of the schools and opinions of
those directly connected with the
schools should be respected. The in
stitute therefore will be called on sched-
ule time. On account of the large at
tendance and the desire for work for
the several departments of the schools,
the institute will be divided into five
sections as follows
This is intended to give the impress
sion that the state superintendent, ar
bitrarily. and without any reason what
soeVer, refuses to approve Of the pro-
posed April institute. and when the in
terests of the schools demand it. and
when, too, every one else was very anX-
ious that it should be held at that time.
1t also seeks to give the impression
that the attorney general holds that
the county superintendent has the au-
thority to determine the date for hold
ing the county institute. In these re-
spects the article is misleading, as The
facts of the matter are the opposite CT
the impressions sought to be given.
No hint is given that the attorney
general had already rendered an opin-
ion, which clearly showed that the ac-

partment for the use of the arnaory for
/ a gymnasium. The latter proposition
| was in the nature of a petition, which
/ read:
Butte, Mont, March, %, 1899.
| ITO the Honorable the Mayor and
| Council of the City of Butte:
1--WE, the undersigned, members of the
| police and fire departments of this city,
respectfully petition your honorable
body as follows, to-wit:
whereas, We have no gymnasium or
other place for physical development
and training and the same is extremely
necessary for men of our calling and is
in fact, necessary if we are to perform
our duties in manner to meet the
appreciation of your honorable body;
and,
whereas. There is no adequate tar
get range at which the police force of
this city may become and remain pro-
ficient in that branch Of marksma nship;
and,
Whereas, No place exists where we
may have the use of baths, gymnastic
apparatus, etc, at a reasonable ex-
pense.
Now. therefore, we, the undersigned,
respectfully petition your honorable
body to allow a club to be formed from
the police and fire force of this city
the free use of the armory of this city
for the purpose above mentioned, under
such restrictions and provisions as
your honorable body may impose, with
the understanding that such club shall
in no way interfere with the right of
the militia of this county to the use
of said armory nor interfere in any
way or annoy the patrons or employees
of the public library of this city by
noise or otherwise
Woods plan is to organize a club
and establish gymnasium, the bene-
fits of which shall be free to all city
employees. the understanding being that
he is to be employed as instructor. The
gymnasium is to be open to outsiders,
who, however, are to be charged for
the privilege afforded.
The other proposals were from Thorn
as Denoon. who desired to lease the
armory for displaying fruit, and from
the Silver Bow Builders Exchange who
offer $15 month rent
Two of the propositions have been
disposed Of by the council rejecting
the one from the Builders Exchange
and Mr. Denoon withdrawing his, after
seeing that there was little likelihood
that it would be favorably acted upon,
and from the action of the council last
evening relative to the proposal of the
Builders Exchange it is doubtful if
the gymnasium scheme will carry.

CLEvERLY CAUGHT.
Shea Fell Into the Trap Which Was Set
for His Detection,

q
After being caught in a trap set for his
| detection, Dennis Shea an employee OF
the Symons dry goods store, was arrested
yesterday afternoon for appropriating the,
funds of his employers.
For some weeks the managementgof the
store had been cognizant that rregulari-:
ties were being praeticed and suspicion
was directed toward Shea, but, though he
was watched closely, 1t was a long time
before he was caught in any Wrong-do-
ing.
AT length it was decided to set a tran
to try and catch him and the plans were
laid. Two silver dollars were marked in
such way that the marks would NOT be
noticed by person handling them;s vet
the coins could be easily Identified. De-
tective Murphy was then sent for and
asked to be at, the store yesterday after
noon at o'clock to observe and arrest
If the plan proved successful. At the an.
pointed time the two dollars were given
TO an outsider, who was instructed to 20
to the gents furnishings department.
where Shea presided. and buy 50 worth Of
goods. This was done and one of the
marked coins went to the cashier. The
plotters knew Shea had kept the other one
and he was at once taken in charge by
Detective Murphy and searched. AS
pected, the other marked dollar was
toaiiu IA ms poCkel ana ne was taken to
the city jail. He was subsequently re-
leased on bonds
Shea's plan of operating was as ingen-
lous as was the ruse by which he was
caught. 1t is a ruling in all big depart
ment stores that all purchases must go
TO the wrapping counter and before being
wrapped the goods and the money paid
for them is noted. But in all such stores
1t Is frequent occurrence for persons tn
come in and make purchase who are M
too much Of hurry to wait for the goods
10 so to the wrapping counter, and in
such cases the clerk has the duplicate bill
which goes to the cashier O. KID by the
hoorwalRer or one of the managers, If one
happens to be near. Shea would avail
himself of this and when ne got a cash
customer would hold out a certain
amount, make out the duplicate for the
difference, make the record of goods sold
correspond, and going to the floor
walker or one of the managers, get the
slip Q. KID, saving the party did not wish
to wait. The scheme worked admirably
and it was net till the trap was set that it
was exposed r@
There is no means of knowing to what
extent Shea profted by his transa ctions,
but he is suspected of having carried the
thing on for a long time. AS goods have
also been missed, Shea was also suspected
in that direction and his house was ac-
cordingly searched, but nothing was
found.

A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES
Mrs. Mary Williams Asks for
$4,000.
DEATH OF HER HUSBAND
He Was Run Into by the Hook and Lad
der Truck of the Fire Depart
ment- Plea for a
Gymnasium.

The preliminary steps to $4,000
| damage suit against the city were ia
ken yesterday by counsel for Mrs. Mary
Jane Williams in the filing of claim
| for the amount named with the city
| clerk which was read before the coun-
Gil last evening. Mrs. Williams claim
for damages is for the death of her
husband, who was run into by the hook
and ladder truck of the fire depart
ment last fall, and whose death a
month later was attributed to that ac-
cident. The claim was accompanied
by the following letter of transmits
sion signed by C. M Parr, Mrs. Will
Jams attorney:
Butte, March IS, 1899.
ITO the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Butte, Mon
tana:
Gentlemen: I herewith present you
a claim of Mrs. Mary Jane Williams
against the city of Butte for the sum
of $4,000 for the death of her husband,
caused by injuries sustained by reason
of the hook and ladder team of the
city of Butte running into a certain
wagon and throwing said Williams
therefrom, by reason of which inju-
cident occurred at the corner of Gran
lite and Wyoming streets, Butte City,
Montana, while the said hook and lad
der team were making a practice run
west on said Granite street. Respect
fully, C. M. PARR."
The accident referred to occurred on
Sept. 20, 1898. Williams was tea ped
dler and had a one-horse rig with which
he carried on his business. On the day
mentioned he was driving up Wyo-
ming street and arrived at the inter
section of Granite just as the hook and
ladder team, making a practice run,
came along, running west. Either from
becoming confused or from some other
reason. Williams failed to heed the
warning of the gong and got in the
way of the truck, when it was too late
for the fire team to pull up and avoid
a collision, though the driver made
every effort to do so.
Williams wagon was turned over and
he was thrown to the ground with such
force that he sustained a dislocated
hip and was otherwise badly shaken
and bruised up. He was taken to his
home at Meaderville, where he died
on the 26th of October.
The claim was referred, after being
read last evening, and should the coun-
Gil act unfavorably upon it, as will
probably be the case, the matter will
go into the courts as a damage suit
Three propositions were made to the
council last evening for the use of the
armory. Two of the propositions were
from parties desiring to lease the place
for business purposes and the third was
submitted by Billy Woods, the ath-
lete, on behalf Of the police and fire de-
