MONUMENT TO F|REMEN
Who We're Killed in the Big
Explosion.
TAKEN DEFINITE SHAPE
Will Start at Oncs to Raise the Nsces-
sary Money by Subscription.
Mayor Mccarthy Will
Head the List.

"A movement is on foot among CITY
officials in which Mayor Mccarthy and
Shlef Peter Sanger of the fire depart
ment are the leading spirits, Ito erect
a monument in memory of the firemen
VINO We're killed in the big explosion of
Jan. 49, 1895. Chief Sanger has had I'M
der consideration the starting of such
movement for some time, but the
matter only recently took definite form.
Chief Sanger preached the subject TO
Mayor Mccarthy a few days ago, and
was at once heartily seconded by him.
1t was accordingly decided to start at
once in the endeayor to raise by sub
scription the money necessary for the
erection of the monument.
The idea of the movers in the matter
is to place the monument at the juno
Hfon of Arizona street and Utah ave-
niue, the most slightly place in the near
vicinity of the scene of the terrible
catastrophe. 1t is also contemplated to
have the monument suitably inscribed
and bear the names Of the firemen who
lost their lives in fulfilling their duties,
4s well as the names of all the civilians
who were killed.
Mayor Mccarthy will head the sub
scription with handsome contribution
and other city officials will give their
proportionate amounts. 1t is hoped
that people who are able to give will
subscribe literally in order that a suit
able monument may be erected.
Chief Sanger will have charge of the
work of circulating the subscription
list The lists which have already been
prepared. will be headed as follows:
ITO the citizens of Butte, Mont:
In view of the fact that on Jan. 15
1895, the Butte firemen We're called by
an alarm to execute their duties as
firemen at the place known as the
Butte Hardware company and the Ken
yon-Connell companys warehouses for
the purpose of subduing a fire which
had broken out During the heroic per-
formance Of their duty an explosion
took place, killing them instantly. II
is believed that the least that the citi-
zens can do is to erect a monument in
memory of those who We're killed. 1t is
therefore deemed desirable that a large
monument be erected to their memory
in conspicuous place in the city. We
therefore ask that subscriptions be
made to perpetuate the aforesaid men,
ory of our heroic firemen.'

Pardon me-" said tine toiler, pointing
to the typewriter paper, will you
kindly tell me the meaning of this?"
The typewriter smiled grimly.
"Well,' she said, considering you
appear to be a woman who is able to
appreciate a tale of woe occasionally, ]
don't mind telling you mine. Were
you ever imposed upon? I have been.
l am imposed upon daily, and I'm get
ting sick and tired of it. I'm going
to put a stop to it. l am employed in
that office al regular salary. i isn't
lordly income, mind you, but it is
salary and ! am glad to get it. Now.
I'm not saying anything against my
employer. He's all right 1t isn't his
fault that he can't afford to pay higher
wages. It's his cousins and his broth
ers and his bosom friends and his
chance acquaintances that am kicking
about.
UNLESS you have had experience you
wouldn't believe how many men there
are in this town who get their type
writing done for nothing. 1t is an hon
est fact that there are scores of them
who carry on a half way decent bust
ness through typewriter correspond
ence for which they never pay penny.
AS I said, 1 have nothing against my
employer, but must say that it certain
ly not to his credit that those cousins
and brothers and friends and acquaint
anceS belong to that class of impoStorS.
You see, my employers work does not
keep me busy half of the time: if it did
he would have to pay a larger salary:
and there is scarcely day that one of
his impecunious or parsimonious hang
ers-on does not come in with a bit of
work which he wonders if he could not
get done as little accommodation.
That bit of work often consumes an
hour or more of my time-it was piece
of it that kept me so late tonight
and I ought to be paid for it, but my
presumptuous customer never thinks
of recompense other than a mere
Thank you,' and sometimes he even
omits that. Why, the work l do would
amount to an average of 81 a day were
/ a professional typewriter.
BY the time these parasites have
visited several other offices as them
come to ours, they manage to get their
correspondence taken care of quite
nicely My employer has been away
for a week, but his absence is marked
by no abatement of the nuisance. They
drop in and ask for little favor, just
the same. / dare not complain openly.
but while I am running shop to suit
myself I am going to take the case IN
my own hands and exercise little dl-
plomacy to counteract their audacity
Hence that sign. 1t seems to me that
after reading that, any man who has a
spark of shame in his makeup, would
walk FIVE miles to get a letter written,
before asking me to do it gratis. Still,
you can't tell. They're awfully hard

4 Young Woman's Way of Getting Rid O
Office HanEers-On


IT was o'clock. The building was
well nigh deserted Only one elevator
was running and the swish of the
scrubwoman's mon was heard in The
hall. The one solitary typewriter who
remained to break the monotony of the
evenings silence with the clicking of
her machine softly opened the office
door, and, after looking cautiously
around for a moment, stepped out into
the hall. In her hand she carried a
siX-by-six square of heavy white paper
Seeing there was no one to watch her
but the scrubwoman and belated toll
er standing near the elevator shaft, she
assumed an air of boldness, and, pro-
ducing from some mysterious recess in
the hollow of her hand four brass
headed nails, she began to tack the
square of paper to the office door.
The belated toiler left her position
near the elevator and approached near
enough to read the card on which was
written in bold type:

KESSLER FOR GOVERNOR
A Little Slate Fixed Up By
Carter Eft Al,
OPPOS|TIONlS WITHDRAWN
Mantle and Babcock Will Leave the
Field Clear for the Soldier-Clark
Members OF the Legislature
Seen by the Senator.

Senator Tom Carter was in Butte sew
eral days last week and a slate was
fashioned. The slate is not hardened
yet. 1t Is In a nascent state and may
be changed in form before it is sui
mltted to attacks on the part of any
Would-be slate smashers
Carter arrived straight from San
francisco, where he had been in con-
sultation with Colonel H. c. Kessler. A
few hours after Carter arrived in Butte
Hon. A. l.. Babcock of Billings was
registered at the Butte. Senator Bah
COCK, Colonel Kessler and Lee Mantle
have all been mentioned as leading
candidates for the republican nominal
ton for governor. Carter, Babcock and
Mantle spent considerable time to-
gether while they We're all here, and it
is understood that Carter's persuasive
tongue succeeding in the withdrawing
Of opposition to Kessler's nomination.
While he is not definitely out Of the
race, it is considered pretty certain that
Mr.. Babcock will accept the nomination
for lieutenant governor and leave the
gubernatoria1 nomination to Kessler. 1t
IS known that Mantle will not enter
the field against Kessler. Mantle could
have the nomination for congress, but
1t is not understood that he has any
ambition to obtain a seat in the lower
house of congress.
Another class Of politicians has been
dropping in and out of Butte during
the past two weeks, or ever since Sena-
tor-elect Clark got back from New York
the last day. Just what is in the wind
is not apparent, but there could not help
but be much comment on the fact that
Mr.. Clark has had personal interviews
since he returned with almost every
member Of the legislature who voted
for him. Some Of these men he saw in
Great Falls. where he stayed two days
last week, some he saw in Helena, but
most of them came to Butte to see him
How thoroughly they have seen him is
a matter Of rumor only.

populistic manifesto a week or so ago,

Not to Be Baked.

A comparison made by an old car
penter twenty years ago may be ap-
piled in a much wider sense than he
had in mind. He was speaking of two
boys. brothers, who had been sent to
him to learn the trade. They were
bright boys, and their father. in tell
ing the carpenter Of his pleasure at
their progress in their work, said he
could not see but one had done just as
we'll as the other. "Um-m!' said the
carpenter. 81 presume to say their
work looks about Of a piece, but I'll
tell you the difference betwixt those
two boys. You give Ed just the right
tools, and he'll do a real good job; but
Cy, If he hasn't got what he needs.
he'll make his own tools. and say moth
ing about it. If l was casted on a
desert island and wanted a box opened,
I should know there'd be no use ask
ing Ed to do it, without l could point
him out a hammer. But Cyl" added
the old carpenter. with a snap of his
fingers. The lack of a hammer
wouldn't stump that boy! He'd have
something rugged up and the box
opened, if there was any open to it! I
expect Cy's going to march ahead Of
Ed all his life" Twenty years have
proved the truth of the words. for
while the boy who made his own
tools" is rich, his brother is still an or
binary workman.
