A WELL DESERVED HONOR
General Satisfaction Over Colonel
Kessler's Promotion.
IS A BROADER GENERAL
Pushing Preparations for the Welcome
to the Volunteers The Ladies
Will Give the Regiment Bar
becue on the Track.

There was general satisfaction ex
pressed yesterday at the news that Col
sonel H. C. Kessler of the Montana regi-
ment of volunteers had been made 4
brigadier general. While the news was
not received officially. it came in the
shape of private telegram to Senator
Garter from Adjutant General H. c.
Corbin. Efforts have been made for
some time to get this we'll deserved
honor bestowed on Colonel Kessler, and
there is no doubt here as to the reia-
bility of the information.
The general citizens committee in
charge of the welcome is extremely
anxious that ladies of all classes and
conditions and of ali societies should
join in the work of preparing the well
come. The help of all is desired and
the help of all must be had. Another
meeting of the ladies will be held on
Tuesday afternoon and it is hoped that
all the ladies who can possibly attend
will be present. No invitations to par
ticular people are issued. but all are
wanted. 1t is especially desired that
all lady relatives of soldiers in the regi-
ment Will assist in preparing the well
come.
1t is particularly desired that all
members of the Montana regiment who
are now in Montana will join the regi-
ment when 1t reaches Butte. Manv
members have returned in advance, have
been discharged or are away on sick
leave, and it is hoped that all will don
their uniform and get into the ranks
as soon as the regiment arrives, so that
the regiment will have as full numbers
as possible. All are entitled to medals.
The nearest relatives of any members
of the regiment who may have died or
been killed are entitled to medals.
The ladies have decided to give the
soldiers a tremendous barbecue at the
race track. The butchering companies
have been interested in the matter and
will help. The beeves will be placed
on the spfts early in the morning and
hot roast beef will surely be a most
welcome feature of the lunch to be
served. The ladies will sell the sand
witches to any visitors on the ground
who may desire them. and the proceeds
will be turned in to the committee. The
soldiers will, of course, be served free.
Some of the ladies have expressed the
fear that some of the soldiers, in the
eXuberance of the welcome, might be
induced to drink to excess and they eX-

TEN PATIENTS RELEASED
Discharged From the Pest House
as Cured.
CRITICAL PERIOD PASSED
With Nearly All OF Those in Detention.
Worst OF the Epidemic Is Over and
the Disease Found to Be
Well Stamped Out.

Great Falls. Oct. 5.-To-day 10 pa
tients were discharged from the pest
house as cured and beyond the stage
wherein they might convey the disease
to others. DR.. Weitman saw that they
were bathed in disinfectants and given
new clothing, and believes it will be i'm
possible for them to communicate the
disease to any one else.

days be in condition to be dis

passed the critical period of the con-

the epidemic had passed. and though
the authorities were slow in getting at
it, the disease has been fairly we'll

So far as this city is concerned the

who have visited Helena in the past

good, but DR.. Weitman states tonight
that more could be used and further
contributions will be welcomed.

FRAUD The ALLEGATION
The Indebtedness Is Said to Be
Fictitious.
CHARGES OF CONSPIRACY
Suit Has Been Brought Against M
Cornell and Others by the Attor-
ney of the Grand Opera
House Company.

Chancellor O'Donnell, attorney for
last evening commenced an acton in
the district court against M. j. Council,
the NJ. j. Cornell company, John
O'Rourke, w. r. Kenyon and w. A.
Clark & Bro. for the purpose of an
nulling an alleged fraudulent promis-
recently and obtained judgment, and to
set aside the assignment Of the note
from the Council company. and also
to set aside a sheriff's certificate of sale
of the opera house property. 1t is al
legged in the complaint that the note
was fraudulent and the Indebtedness
against the opera house company tic-
titious.
Charges of fraud, conspiracy and
sWindiing are made against some of the
defendants, the latter charge being
especially made against Mr.. Cornell.
The complaint recires that on Jan. A,
1894, O'kourke, Connell and Kenyon
were elected trustees of the opera
house company and the trustees elected
ORourke president and Council secre-
tary, and they acted as such until Jan.
4, 1897. On March 10, 1892, the opera
house property was sold to James Ma
loney by the county treasurer for
$S3S52 for taxes for 1881. On Jan. 4,
1894 Connell redeemed the property for
S94l II and on Feb. 16, 1893, 1t was again
sold for taxes to Levi Davis for SSlS.94,
and had also been sold in April, 1891,
and was redeemed both times by Con-
nell. Prior to Jan. 4, 1895, the date or
the last redemption, Council and Ken
yon entered into a conspiracy to de-
fraud, cheat and swindle the opera
house house company, and in pursu-
ance to the conspiracy and through
fraud, deception and false representa-
tons as to certain Indebtedness when
the company was liable for to Connell,
and through fraud and false represen-
tations on the part of Council and Ken
yon, they caused O'Rourke, as presl-
dent of the company, to sign a prom
sory note, payable to Council, for 81
266.40 whereas the company was only
indebted to Council at that time IN the
sum of $2,4S9.S8 with legal interest
amounting to $25S.53. After the note

alleged the latter was at that time well
aware that the note had been obtained
by fraud, false representations ana de-
ceit on the part of Council and Kenyon
from O'Rourke as president OF the
company. Thereafter the note was
transferred to w. A. Clark Y Bro, ana

gage foreclosure. to w. A. Clark Il
Bro. and authorized the sheri to eX-
ecute deed of the property to Clark
& Bro, which was done few days
later, and they held it as security for
the payment of the fraudulently OBJ
tained note. Clark & Bro. brought suit
on the assigned note and to obtain
decree of foreclosure of the fraudulent
lien created by the sheriff's deed and
a judgment for S11,311.14 due on the
note and for S1,22l.93, paid in taxes,
etc. 1t is alleged that all the facts as
to want of consideration for the Connell
note the conspiracy entered into by
Cornell and Kenyon to defraud the
opera house company We're wholly I'M
known to the plaintiff and the present
officers of the company until after the
trial of Clarks suit, which is now
pending on an appeal.
1t is further alleged that in pursuance
of the conspiracy between Council and
Kenyon the former on Jan. 5, 1897, made
a demand upon and obtained from the
county treasurer SS61.20, being the same
sum he had paid the treasurer on Jan.

4, 1895, and being part of the considera-
ton for which the fraudulent proms-
DRY note of 81, 266.40 was given by the
company to Council.
The court is asked to declare the
whole note null and void, to set aside
and annul the various assignments of
the sheriff's certificate of sale, to set
aside the sheriff's deed delivered to
Clark & Bro. and that the judgment
recently obtained by the latter and
now amounting to $14,10S.3s together
with the decree of foreclosure, be de-
clared null and void and of no avail.

Let it be fully understood the Chase

ment; the Hackley is also a high grade
piano and the Carlisle their cheaper
piano. which was produced simply to
meet the demands of the trade and
enable the dealers to get from the con-
Germ his entire line.
The Carlisle piano is so new that it
is hardly to be supposed that the en-
tire trade would be posted as to its
origin, but Chase Brothers have never
sought to conceal that they make it.;
on the contrary, i: has been advertised
as one of their products, and so far as
lay in their power they have endeav-
ored to take from it the stigma of a
stencil PIANO. 1t may pc said that
there can be no distinction made az to
stenciled pianos. but we think there
can be. 1t is vastly different when
reliable concern makes piano, names
it. advertises it and acknowledges it.
or when a cheap box is made and sold;
to a hundred different concerns under
any name which the buyer may de-
sire. and there is no means of tracing
its origin.

is composed of high-minded, honora-
BILE men, too rich to stoop to any I'M

The change in the Chase Brothers
Piano company to the Cnase-Hackley
Piano company was not material in
any way except that Mr.. Hackley, who
was heavily interested il the old con-
Germ and from whom one of the pianos
made was named, desired to more
fully legitimatize the name and the
instrument. 1t is also well known
that Mr.. Hackley is undoubtedly one
of the richest men in the state of
Michigan, and probably the wealthiest
man now interested in the business
in the whole world. He will now take
more interest in the concern, and, as
we are credibly informed. this year
will lie the largest year in the whole
history of the house, by whatever
name it goes.
