Would it surprise you Gas counsel
used to ask in the Tichborne case) if
Nebraska, Mr.. Bryans own state, were
quietly to shift over into the republican
column this year? In poll of 1905
last year the plurality of Governor
Poynter fusion and free silver) was
only 2721.--Hartford Courant.
1t is not a very suspicious opening of
Mr.. Bryan's campaign when under his
direction the party in Nebraska nom
mates populist for judge, another to
fill vacancy in congress, and adopts a
populist and free silver republican
platform. If this is democracy there
are a great many voters of the old
party that will refuse to recognize it.

The difficulty is that the leading dem
ocrats of the south, with a few honor
able exceptions, lack the courage Of
I their convictions and fall in with the
current. A good sample Of the stuff
they are made of was lately furnished
by Senator Morgan of Judge Willett's
own state, who openly repudiated Mr.
Bryan some time ago, and now enthusi-
astically indorses him. The southern
democrats could dictate the democratic
nomination If they chose to. They do
not seem to dare to try it.-Boston
Herald
The two potent reasons for Mr.. Reeds
undisputed supremacy in the House
were first. his pre-eminent and un-
challenged ability, and second, his
sterling honesty. In debate without a
peer, in knowledge of parliamentary
law the best equipped man on the
House floor, he served the public for
his salary and the consciousness Of
public duty well performed. No faint
OF Jobbery or corruption has ever sui
bed his long and honorable public car
Ger, and he retires with the respect Of
the people of the entire country, cou-
pied with sincere regret at the loss Of
his services at time when real states
manship is in greater demand and in
smaller supply than at any period in
the countrys history.-Philadelph
Times.

Denver, March 3.-One of the heaviest
cash sales of mining and smelling prop
erty ever made in the West was effect
ed in New York yesterday by H. R.
Wolcott, who sold to New York COM
pany the Colorado Smelling & Mining
company's plant at Butte, Mont, to-
gether with ali the mines owned by the
company, for a cash consideration of
$2.50O000 This sale is of special inter-
est in Denver, as the greater portion
of the capital stock is held in this city,
the Colorado stockholders being N. P.
Hill, H. r. Wolcott, e. O. Wolcott.
Richard Pearce and Henry Hanning-
ton. At the time of the sale H. r, VOL
colt was the heaviest individual stock
holder. w. A. Clark of Montana was
also stakeholder and director.
The present company was organized
Nov. &c, 1883, and succeeded the Colo
RADIO & Montana Mining & Smelling
company. which was organized June i,
1879. From the first organization of the
company N. P. Hill was it's president
and H. r. Wolcott treasurer.
Henry Williams, formerly manager
of the branch smelter of the Boston &
Colorado smelter at Alma, has been the
manager of the company since it's or
ganization. The sale illustrates the
profits that accrue to extensive mining
operations when conducted with due re-
gard to economy. The cash capital of
the company when organized was
100000, and not another dollar has been
put in. The ores of Butte are low
grade, seldom going higher than per
cent copper. with correspondingly low
values of silver. and yet the operations
of the company during the past 20
years have not only paid a handsome
profit to the stockholders, but have paid
for the development of the mining
property, for the improvement of the
smelter and mill. and now at the end
of 20 years pays s25 for every dollar of
the original investment.
The new company WILL it is said
largely increase the production as soon
as the necessary additions to the plant
are completed.
No information has been received re-
garding the personnel of the purchasing

Determined to Find the Man Who Set the
Fire.
Mike Vaughan and Paddy Jennings,
proprietors of the saloon which was the
scene of Thursday mornings incendiary
fire and who were neither accused of set
ting the fire nor even limited at as having
had a hand in l., sent the following letter
to the Standard relative to the Standard s
account of the fire:
ITO the Editor of the Standard
In relation to your article in to-day's
issue regarding the fire at u West Park
street permit me TO state that there is
not anyone who regrets the affair more
than myself and partner. not only from
a financial standpoint but from the fact
that if the fire had not been promptly ex-
tinguished in our part of the building it
might have resulted in a serious loss of
life. Now 7 have lived here for the past
13 years and my partner, Mr.. Jennings. is
also well known here to be thoroughly
honest and upright young man, and l
cannot imagine or recall when at any
time we made any enemies to prompt
them to take revenge on us in such
cowardly manner. Be 1t as it may |, pro-
pose to use every effort to locate the
guilty parties and any assistance | can
render the officers in such investigation
will be heartily given. Relating to the
amount of stock on hand and damage to
fixtures, etc. there cannot he any one
more competent to judge of that matter
than the Insurance agent at the time he
insured us; and regarding the insurance,
it was only after several prominent busi-
ness men advised me to insure that | did
so. In conclusion, l will say that we
are not indebted to any one for any mer-
chandise or for anything which has not
been promptly paid, and now the qucs-
ton IS TO find out who the firebug is, who
wanted to mete such a cowardly revenge,
and to this extent will use all our
energies and assistance to the officers Too
| much credit cannot be given to the fire
department for their success in eXtinguish-
| ing the fire and they evidently saved
many valuable lives by their prompt ac-
| ton. Very respectfully,
"MAUGHAN & JENNINGS"

We're arrested few days ago for steal
ing an old cart from Mrs. Mary Mullan,
had their trial before Justice Smith of
South Butte yesterday, resulting in the
conviction of Barrett and the discharge
of Leach. The evidence was to the eff
feet that young Barrett who is only II
years of age, was found with the cart
in his possession, for which he could
give no satisfactory explanation. while
Leach was found to have had no con-
nection with the affair at all. He was
accordingly discharged, and Barrett be-
ing found guilty of petit larceny, was
sentenced to three months in the coun-
ty jail

the sale, the entire property having
been placed in his hands for that pur-
pose. He is expected home in few
days.
A s2,5OO,OoO deal was by
the associated press yesterday re-
ported to have been consum-
mated in Denver which involves the
stock of the Colorado Mining and SmeN-
ing company of Butte. 1t is looked up
on by some mining men in this city as
direct movement in the interest OF
the gigantic copper combine which IS
headed by the Standard Oil company,
and that while it may not affect in any
degree the present management OF the
company or its operations, it tends to
show that Butte is an objective point
TOR extensive deals on behalf OF the
combine.
Henry Williams, the general manager
of the company, who has resided IN
Suite ever since the company was in
corporated in 1879, has been for years
in i'll health and is about to depart for
Santa Barbara. Cal, in the hope that
change will operate to restore his
health. Mr.. Williams was not dispos-
Ell yesterday ito talk of the sale and
declined to say anything in confirma-
ton or denial of the associated press
report. However. an official who stands
high in the councils of administration
of the company's affairs said that a
deal had been positively made but he
did not know its extent or even whether
any of the Butte stockholders had re-
leased their interests. From the same
source comes the announcement that
there will be no changes in the manage
ment of the companys properties, which
include, besides the smelter, the Gag
non, Ottisco, Nettie. Philadelphia, Hi
hernia, Original, California and Noun
tain Boy mines. The company also
operates the Eastwood fumes and
chutes, an immense hay ranch in Deer
Lodge valley, besides numerous minor
interests.
The Montana & Colorado Mining &
Smelling company" was originally cap
tailed for 81, 900, 900. Later the Montana
was dropped, and since then it has been
known as the Colorado Mining &
Smelling company. Henry r. Wolcott
of Denver was the originator of the
plan which eliminated in the organ
ization of the company. w. A. Clark
and Henry Williams of Butte are char
Ter members of the company, the other
heavy holders being H. P. Hill and
Richard Pierce of Denver The main
producer of the company is the famous
old Gagnon mine, a copper proposition.
The Nettie. Mountain Boy and others
out west of town are essentially silver
propositions and of course are now
lying idle. The Gagnon. developed to-
depth of more than 1900 feet, employs
800 men. From the mine to the smelter
is an electric railroad over which the
ore is conveyed. About $50 tons Of
GagnOn ore are treated every day, be-
sides large quantity of custom ore.

Texarkana, Ark, March A.-Dur1ng
the past forty-eight hours an INDEFINITE
number of negroes have met their death
at the hands of an Infatuated white
population in Little River county seven
are known to have been lynched, shot
to death or slain in some manner ana
the work is not yet done. Inc booleS
of the victims of the mob's vengeance
are hanging to the limbs of trees in
various parts of the county, strung up
where ever overtaken, while that OF
another who was shot to death while
trying to escape was thrown into
creek and left there.
The county is in a state OF most IN
tense excitement. White men are COZ
lecting in mobs heavily armed ana De

lives and the community is in an up
roar The exact number of negroes VINO
have been summarily dealt with or

Joe King and John Johnson were also
taken in hand by mobs and whipped:
They were afterward turned loose and
have disappeared.
Little River county is in the extreme
southwest corner of the state, bordered
on the west by the Indian Territory
and on the south by Texas. The negro
population is large and has for long
time proved very troublesome to the
whites. Frequent murders have oc-
CURED and theft and fights have be-
come common affairs.
One or two negroes have previously
been severely dealt with when the peo-
pie found it necessary to take the law
into their own hands, but it was not un-
til Tuesday that the trouble took on
very serious aspect. 1t then developed
that carefully laid plans had been made
by a number of negroes to precipitate
a race war, and that many white men
had been marked for victims. 1t is
learned that twenty-three negroes were
implicated in this plot and the whites
are now bent on melting out summary
punishment to the entire coterie of con-
spirators. Seven have been killed and
