DEAR SIR AND FRIEND,
/ guess when I'll 60 back / may
inquire for Canal street. / am really
glad to learn of the improvements the
town is undergoing. You asked me
what sort of animals were the Filipi-
nos; we'll the majority of them are
very ignorant and are queer class OF
people, of course there is exceptions,
some of them are highly educated and
are very intelligent and are looked
upon as civilized people, those are
in the city of Manila, but when you
take ride in the country, it makes
you think you are among Indians and
Fsavages.
/ I.suppose you have read all of our
present troubles with them we are
doing away with a good many of those
niggers now, I'll tell you. Our boys
in blue have scrap with the insur-
gents most every day. Yesterday

1t Is n Warm Camp.

General Charles S. Warren. manager of
the Sumpter Townsite syndicate, arrived
from that stirring camp last night, says
the Spolesman-Review.
do I like Sumpter?' he said. "Well.
I'll tell you. My wife said to me at the
breakfast table that she was glad I had
for once in my life found place where I
could be satisfied! Like it? Why, it's
like getting into johannesburg ahead of
the rush. It's the Warmest camp in Spo-
kane's environments, and this city needs
to wake to a realization of that fact. 1t
isn't boom camp. There are nine divi-
dend-payer down there. You don't hear
any blow about it except from the steam
whistles on their mills. Eleven new mills
are going up in the immediate vicinity.
The town is growing as fast as Spokane's
real estate boom, and it will be the biz
thing in mining in these parts before
spring.
Sumpter's boom has caused a little jeal-
ousy in Baker City. General Warren has
won fame and the gratitude of his fell
Contemporaries by clubbing Baker City

the name sticks fast.

ting forth the fact that the skins were
not taken by pelagic sealers has pre-
vented many Canadians from visiting
the United States and has affected the
trade of cities along the border. He
therefore suggested that the regula-
tfons be amended SO as to apply only to
commercial importations and not to
wearing apparel in the possession of
the owner The suggestions of the con-
sui were some time ago referred by AS
sistant Secretary Spaulding to the col
lectors of all the leading border ports
The opinion of the collectors is prac-
tically unanimous to the effect that If
a regulation as suggested We're made
whereby visitors to the United States
were permitted to appear before an
American consul in the district from
which they intended departing in
Canada and there receive a certificate
from said consul to the effect that they
are well-known citizens and that they
were merely proceeding to the United
States for a visit and return, it would
tend to save very many obnoxious in
cidents at the United States ports on
the frontier of Canada, where by rea-
son of the proximity to Canada there
is continual visiting from one side to
the other and that such action would
not tend to diminish the revenues Of
the United States in any way.

Inc apporttonment to Montana was

tract was entered into by the surveyor

deputy surveyors, for surveys within
the limits of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company: liability of the contract
$4,000. payable from special deposits
made by the Northern Pacific Railroad
company per act of congress approved
Feb. 81, 1899. This contract was not
approved by the generaH land office,
from the fact that it did not appear
that the rules of the office had been
complied with relative to the competi-
ton in the bids made by the deputy
surveyors; the contract was therefore
returned to the surveyor general unap-
proved, With the direction that the rules
of the office be complied with relative
to the same. One contract liability
$3.50. payable from special deposits by
individually was awarded and approved
during the fiscal year. For office work

posted.

County Attorney Connolly evidently

day he filed SO proposed amendments.
and in several moves the court to strike
from the record made up by the defend
ants attorney statements that the latter
had taken exceptions to certain rulings
Of the court at the time they were made
by the court, when the fact is that said
exceptions were not taken. He also
offers as amendments certain state
ments made by him as to the purpose
certain testimony offered, especially to
show that the motive of the murder
was robbery. The proposed amendments
also show up some rather amusing err
rors in the transcript of the stenograph-
er's notes. A witness testified that the
color placed on rock by him to out
line blood stains was "methylene blue"
but the stenographer's transcript has it
"methln PEEL substance is blood" APP

The $4,000 damage suit of Mary Ann
Craythorn against Thomas Winwood,
which had been set for trial yesterday,
was dismissed by Mrs. Craytnorn when
it was called for trial. and although it
was dismissed without prejudice to the
bringing of another action the last has
probably been heard of the case. Mrs.
Craythorn is sick in bed and was I'M
able to appear in court and her attor-
ney, Mr.. Haldorn, asked for continu-
ance of the case Indefinitely but Mr..
Wines, the defendants attorney, object
ted and said the complaint wasn't good
anyway and that he would move to dis
miss it on the ground Of a misjoinder
of parties plaintiff. the plaintiff having
a daughter who is a necessary party to
the action. Mr.. Haldorn admitted the
correctness Of the statement of MIR.
Wines and dismissed the suit. AS Win
wood has disposed of his property since
the commencement Of the action, it is
not at all likely that the suit will be
renewed. The case grew out of the
death of Mrs. Craythorn's husband for
which it was sought to hold WILDWOOD
responsible. Winwood, a young man,
was employed as engineer at the Par
rot mine and Craythorn, a man about
60 years old. was a common workman
employed at the same place. Some con-
troVersy arose between the two men
and Winwood struck the old man with
rock or other hard substance and
fractured his left jaw. which resulted
subsequently, it is claimed, in paralysis
and death.
Directly after the trouble WILDWOOD
went into a justice court and pleaded
guilty to assault in the first degree and
was fined 81. Afterwards he was ar
rested again on the charge of assault in

that if his counsel were neglecting his
appeal he should get other counsel, or
see himself that his appeal was per-
fected. Six months more elapsed and
Mr.. Nixon had never in the meantime
matter of perfecting his appeal to any
one, so far as | know. / then took
steps, by communication with the at
torney general, to have the appeal dis
missed in the supreme court. l prompt
ly served the notice of motion upon
both counsel, and they acknowledged
service in my presence. They then al
lowed this motion to pass without ac-
ton in the supreme court, and have
never, so far as l know, undertaken
to give any good or valid reason why
this appeal was not perfected.
Il do not know what were the errors
of law relied upon by the attorneys in
at the trial. I do know that the rec
ord will show that there was no ques-
ton about the guilt of Mr.. Nixon OF
the offense charged. The circular,
which he himself distributed broadcast
throughout the city, was of most OBJ
scene nature. 1t fell into the hands
Of men, women and children alike. Mr..
Nixon himself admitted having dis
tributed the circulars Whatever
rights Mr.. Nixon had We're deliberate
ly waived by him and his attorneys, and
l do not think that there is any ques-
ton but what he had fair and impair
tial trial under the circumstances.
There is no case tried before any court
but what errors and questions may
be raised, and too often these matters
are allowed to set aside verdicts that
are eminently just In this case. if
there is any complaint to make, it is
that too much indulgence has been ex-

ally or individually whether Mr.. Nixon
serves his sentence, but the trial of
this case cost this county several hun
dred dollars, and I think that when a
man has had fair trial and every OPP
portunity ito be heard and leniency is
extended to him, the effect is to in
crease rather than diminish the ten
dency to crime. Ninety per cent. of

saying, signed it as a matter of utter

ed by Mr.. Nixon himself to all of these
parties, and it is. as every one knows,
a disagreeabe thing to refuse a favor
of this kind to any one in trouble. I
do not think such petitions have, or
should have. any particular weight.
II trust the board of pardons will
not confirm the action of the governor
in pardoning Mr. Nixon. To speak the
truth. his sentence was extremely
light"
The board will meet Monday to
consider the case, and 1t is possible
that County Attorney Connolly will go
TO Helena to be present at the meeting.
When the petition for NiXon's par
don was circulated it was stated that
Judge Speer. the victim of Nixon's
libelous circular himself favored the
pardon, but this has since been denied.

SCHUBERT SYMPHONY CLUB.
Every Number Brought Out Merited
Applause.

The entertainment given by the Schu-
bert Symphony club and lady quartette
last night at the Auditorium was en-
joyed by an audience that nearly filled
the large room. The lady vocalists are
artists and won merted applause on
every number; indeed repeated encores
were demanded upon every appearance
of the talented ladies. The rich music
of the quartette was likened unto
veritable human orchestrion Of silvery
voices and created genuine enthusiasm.
The entertainment was of 4 high order,
refined and pleasing. Goodwill Dick
erman's monologues were thoroughly
enjoyed. He is a gifted elocutionist and
his representations were refined and ar
tistically rendered. Carl f. Hunter. the
violinist. also pleased the audience
with his renditions of classical selec'
tons. The Schuberts. as usual, were
first class and Butte will no doubt al
ways give them hearty welcome
whenever they happen along this way
again.
