NOT A CRIMINAL MATTER
w. A. Bell Acquitted of a Charge
of Grand Larceny.
COSTS TAXED TO MORONG
Court Held That the Complaining Wit
ness Was Wrong in Bringing the
Action-Cass Involved Value
of a Gallows Frame

W. A. Bell was given a preliminary
hearing before Justice Bliss on a charge
of grand larceny and at the conclusion
of the taking of the testimony, with the
consent of the county attorney, the de-
PENDANT was discharged. In addition
the justice paid his respects to the
complaining witness. J. H. Morons, and
taxed the costs of the whole proceed
ings to him.
The testimony of Morong was to the
effect that some three weeks ago he
sold to Bell an engine house and pow
der house in Park canyon for $50 ana
that a few days Later he discovered that
a gallows frame, valued al SO, had dis
appeared also, and that when he IN
auired of Bell about the matter the lat
ter admitted that he had sold the gal
lows frame On cross-eXamination he
admitted he had offered all the property
to other parties several months ago Tor
$50 He figured the number of feet OF
timber contained in the galloWs frame
at $50 feet. He stated also that ne
was a promoter and that he had built
everything made of wood, from ship
down.
DR.. James A. d. Forsythe stated that
he was with Morong when Bell adj
mitted that he had sold the galloWs
frame and claimed that he had bought
it of Morong.
Mrs. Alice Snyder testified she was
in Morongs room at the LenoX the
evening that Bell made the deal and
that Morong stated to her in the pres
ence of Bell that he had sold Bell the
engine and powder houses for $40 and
that she was in AIorong's room when
Bell left that night.
NJ. A. Nunan heard Bell say he had
bought the gallows frame of Morong
and sold it.
In his defense. Bell stated that he
purchased the gallows frame and build
ings from Morong for $2o. He denied
that Mrs Snyder heard any of the con-
yersation between himself and Morong.
He stated also that Morong told him
he could possibly get $40 or S15 for the
frame He said he had known Morong
about three weeks and did not want TO
know him any more.
Mrs Bertha Bell said that Morong
called at the house and offered all of the
property for sale.
Con Sullivan testified that Morong
offered the property. including the gal
lows frame to him for S25. He tes-
tilted the frame was worth from Sl5
to s25.
The case was concluded with the tes-
timony of f. e. Schuer, who was also
offered the property.
In dismissing the case, Justice Bliss
expressed the opinion that Morong was
entirely in the wrong and that the case
ought never to have been brought in g
criminal court For this reason, ne
said he would assess the costs up t.

SENATE REORGANIZATION.
Colonel Bright Will Doubtless He Re
tnined as Sergeant at A rms.

Colonel Bright Will Doubtless lie ne
tanned as Sergeant at Arms.
Washington. Nov 29.-The Star this at
ternoon. discussing the extent of the SEN
ate reorganization at the approaching ses-
sion of congress, says:
There Is considerable talk about the eX-
tent of the senate reorganization early
in the coming session ii is generally con-
coded that General Clarkson of Iowa will
be secretary of the senate. The question
of change in the office of sergeant-at-
arms is one that is very difficult to de-
termine. Colonel Bright. the present ser
geant-at-arms. has made such a record
for efficiency of administration that, re-
CARELESS of party affiliations, there is a
general feeling that the senate would lose
more than a partisan appointment could
possibly gain by a change
During his term of office Colonel Bright
has brought about many changes in this
senate end of the capitol, SO that it Is
said the building was never in quite SO
satisfactory a condition as is now the
case. Not only has the building itself been
kept in fine condition, but in the manner
in which the various employees under the
sergeant-at-arms are attending to their
duties is said to entirely meet the approval
of the senate. The senate depends upon
the sergeant -at-arms for a great deal OF
work that requires judgment and constan.
vigilance and many senators are 10th to
permit politics to interfere with their
comforts and conduct of the senate in q
satisfactory way.

NOT YET SETTLED.
Paving Problem Still Perplexing the City
Council.

PavIng froDlem Stlll PefpiexlnS the Chy
Council.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Great Falls, Nov 29,-At to-night's
adjourned meeting of the council the
paving matter took another fall, and
the matter is not yet settled. Dan Nc
Kay, who had looked into the paving,
with a view to going ahead with it,
stated that he found several obstacles;
Canary had figured too close in his
estimation, no one cared to handle the
warrants unless satisfied there would
be no litigation. and the people who
were to furnish Canary material had
raised the prices. Under the circum-
stances he could not take the contract
up.
Wadsworth wished to know if indi-
viduals were to give Mckay $500 if he
could take it up. Mckay said Canary
had taken the contract $4,000 too low,
but if given until next meeting he
would try and see what he could do.
| Alderman Dunn wished to know how
long the council was going to wait,
first on Canary, then on Mr.. Conrad
and now on Mr.. Mckay. Not receiv-
| ing definite answer the matter was,
on motion of Alderman Mcdonald, left
| over until some future period; and the
| paving of Second avenue South is as
| far distant as Canary, the missing con-
| tractor.
City Clerk C. H. Clark was given
| leave of absence for 80 days on ac-
count of i'll health, and an ordinance
was passed empowering the city at
torney to discharge his duties during
the absence or inability of the clerk.

How Carnegie Set the Pace.

From the Ptttsburg Dispatch.
Those who knew Andrew Carnegie well
in the days when he gave personal care to
his interests tell of the quickness with
which he adopted every mechanical appH-
ance which came upon the market to
cheaper production and improve quality;
of the apparent wastefulness with which
he discarded millions of dollars worth of
machinery in the course of his career to
replace 1T with something better; but this
wastefulness was only apparent, for out of
1t has grown the wonderful web of inter-
ests which may perpetuate his fame. Every
Improvement which went into Carnegie
plant meant that other mills had to adopt
similar appliances soon after or fall behind
in the race. In the end 1t was a good thing
for the American manufacturer, and his
right-hand man, the American inventor. 1t
is a matter of history that Andrew Car
regie by his quickness in using the best
that came along SKINNED the cream in the
use of mechanical appliances. His leader
ship in this field is unquestioned. In the
end it resulted in lifting the entire body of
the iron and steel business in this country
to a higher plane of operation, and this is
one reason why we are now selling iron and
steel products to every civilized country in
the world, to the amaZement Of the En-
glish, the Germans and the French, who
stand by in panied establishment.

Where Trusts Hurt,
From the Philadelphia North American.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Among the many trusts that have been
formed In the past few months, very few
have any other purpose than the sale of
stock. Most of them will have little or no
influence over the enterprises they are adj
vertised to control. There is far more rea-
son to fear the consequences of the Specu-
lative mania they have stimulated than any
increase in the prices of products or the
restriction of production. The very lambs
that are bleating in Wall street over the
loss of their wool in other forms of gam
bling, regard majority of the trusts as
transparent schemes to entrap rural VIC
tins. While great sums in the aggregate
will be lost from the avidity of the people to
so vigorously denounced the worst effect
will be in promoting the spirit Of rash
speculation.
To experienced men this eagerness Of
small savers to make fortune in day is
all so hopeless and pitifu that, immoral as
the enterprise undoubtedly Is, there is a
sentiment of sympathy for them. 1t calls
for peculiar talent, tremendous nerve,
great foresight and a large experience for
persons to make and keep a fortune in
speculation The ordinary small saver has
no more reason to believe he can estimate
the purposes of the shrewd men who ma
nipulate stock enterprises and get on the
winning side than any other lamb has to
think he can escape the shearer. The eX-
asperating thing is that all good advice is
thrown away on persons who once make up
their minds to become rich by wits they do
not possess.

Thomas c. Platts declaration for Mr. Nc
kinlev for second term sets at rest some
gossip which though never very convincing
had nevertheless obtained wide circula-
ton. For time Mr.. Platt was represented
as grooming Gov. Roosevelt for next years
presidential race. The young reformer was
to put on the Platt collar at Albany, and in
return for his subserviency was to become
the Platt candidate for the presidency.
This yarn lacked what is called 1.-The per-
suasive odor of probability" Then followed
a story accrediting Mr.. Platt with some in
fiuence in inducing Mr.. Reed to decide upon
New York as a future place of residence.
He would groom the eX-Speaker for con-
test with Mr. Mckinley for next years re-
publican nomination.
Precisely why Mr.. Platt has chosen the
present time to silence the gossips on this
subject may invite speculation, but he
speaks so plainly no room is left to doubt
his sincerity. He commits himself fully.
He could not retreat if he would. To the
extent of his influence both as a machine
leader and otherwise, he is now a Mckinley
man.
Nor is it important to say that in taking
this position Mr.. Plat is simply obeying
the plain commands of common sense; that
he is simply exhibiting the shrewdness and
foresight OIL d trained p0utlclan, that he
sees the popular drift and goes with it, APP
pareutly with enthusiasm. 1t is more to the
point to observe how good politician and
how successful unifier the President is.
Mr.. Platt was bitterly opposed to Mr.. Nc
kinley for the partys nomination in 1896,
and since then many difficulties have pre-
scented themselves between the two men.
Mr.. Platt aspired to the control of the
whole of New York share of the Federal
patronage, but his aspirations were denied.
He has controlled a liberal share of it, but
the President has reserved and exercised
the right to make important selections of
his own from New York. The appoint
ments of Mr.. White to Berlin, General Por-
ter 20 Paris, Mr.. Strauss to Constantinople.
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid as peace commissioner
and Mr.. Low to The Hague conference were
not the work of Mr.. PIatt
The President has had his way as often
as Mr.. Plat has had his way. The honors
are easy in the matter of assertion and con-
cession between them. And at the end of
two years Mr.. Platt openly proclaims him
self an unqualified supporter of the Presi-
dent for reelection
