AN OLD LANDMARK.

walton.

NatlOn.
One Of the old landmarks of Main
street is undergoing the process of al
teration and renovation. The old two
story brick store room recently vacat-
ca by Louis Cohn will be enlarged, it
being the plan to extend the building
back to the alley. Originally the place
was one-story brick, occupied by ia
cob Ornstein as a butcher shop in the
early days. Later a story was added
and the house was introduced to The
public as Capital hall" The upper
story was used as a billiard hall for
time, after which it was cut up into
offices. The ground floor was elegant
ly fitted UP as a sample room, conduct
ed by the late Tommy Royan and Mike
O'Meara, now of Anaconda. For some
time this was one of the swell saloons
Of the city. OF recent years the room
mas been used as a mercantile store
room and few days ago Mr.. Cohn va
Gated it to occupy his new building in
West Broadway. The old Ornstein
building is being renovated for MeSsrs
King & Lowry, who will conduct a
billiard hall and saloon.
The bricks that are being torn down
were made on the ground in West Park
street where now stand many elegant
residences. Then that part of the pres
ent city was away out in the country
cows used to browse around the place,
and everybody in Butte didn't think
that they would live to see the day
when Butte would expand to an extent
to cover that wilderness. In a few
years, however, the old King brick
yard had to give way before the flood
tide of west side homeseekers. The
bricks that are being taken down ale
of an excellent quality, all of them
firm and in fine state of preservation.

Mrs. Nick Romano of Meaderville ap-

day for protection against her hus-
band who, she said, had threatened ner
with great bodily injury. Mrs. Ro-
maine could speak very little English
so she illustrated her troubles to Depu-

from which the deputy gathered that
the woman's husband came home to-
breakfast yesterday morning and didn't
like the cooking, so he threw the dishes
on the floor and jumped on them With
his feet and then turned on his wife
and compelled her to flee for safety.
Among Mr.. Alleys other callers yes
terday were Fred Allen and his wife

AS they would pound Of tea

last only a few days, not seem
ing to consider that there are
different qualities of machines
made and sold, as there are
different qualities in all other

LET THERE BE HARMONY.

There has been great deal of fool
ishness written in regard to the JEFF
ferponian dinners to be given in New
York City. Referring to this matter
the New York Journal, q loyal and
true Democratic paper, very sensibly
Gays:
'"The contention between the organ
izers of rival Democratic dinners is
as undignihed as II is unwise. 1t ere
ates q division in the ranks OF the
party at a time when factional diff
ferences were being forgotten. 1t
incites personal rancor between Dem
ocrats, and can only result in widen
ing the chasm that federation was
rapidly bridging. The controversy
can do no good. 1t may do much
harm.

cannot afford TO subject themselves
to public ridicuIe. 1t is the height
of folly 10 quarrel over the price of a
dinner given to celebrate the birthday
of Thomas Jefferson, or TO say that
some Democrats will be welcome and
others will find the doors shut in their
faces. There cannot be too many
dinners given In honor of the patron
saint of Democracy, but let wisdom
preside at every banquet table and
let the spirit OF liberality and harmo-
ny animate every speaker.

MONKEYS AS COTTON PICKERs.
A Southern Planter is Greatly Pleas
ed With His Experiment.

VIcKsBURG, MISS, March o.--The
tangled forests of darkestAfrica, which
in the early days of the nation sup
piled the southern planter with slaves
to cultivate his cotton fields to gather
his crops, have again heen drawn
upon by the farmers OF the south.
Prof. Garner, of Washington, dis
covered that the monkey can pick
cotton as well as the southern negro.
he persuaded Mr.. W. M. Msngum, of
Vieksbm,g, to attempt the expert
ment, and the latter has just made bis
report to Prof. Garner.
Mr.. Mangum says he has found 1T
profitable. On his place near Smedes
this winter he has had 90 trained
monkeys at work.
The males weigh about 110 pounds
and the females average 80 pounds
each in weight. Bags were made for
each monkey that would hold twenty
five pounds of cotton and the bag
placed over each monkeys shoulder.
It was surprising, says Mr.. Mangum,
how the monkeys. learned TO pick
cotton. Baskets to hold the cotton
were placed at each end of the row
and one man, besides the monkeys
trainer, was necessary to take the
cotton out of the bags and put 1t into
the baskets provided. Cotton plant
ers throughout the south have watch
ed the experiment with great deal
of interest. Many have visited the
plantation near Smedes to see the
monkeys at their work.
MIR. Mangum is enthusiastic over
the success of his experiment.
"The introduction OF monkeys as
cotton -pickers means more to the
south,r said he, "than cotton pick
ing machine; for the monkeys are q
success as pickers, while the machines
so far, have been failures. The mon
keys are in every way superior to
negroes, and the cost of picking Is
about one-third. believe this dis
covery is the greatest that has been
made for the cotton planter since
Whitney discovered the cotton gin."
Next fall Mr.. Msngum intends to
import 1000 more monkeys from
Africa, and he desires others to join
with him in importing lot more to
be scattered throughout the south.

Democratic Caucus Favors Cutting
the National Guard Appropriation
From the Proposed S80,000
to $4,000.

At q Democratic caucus held In JEFF
ferson City Tuesday night move to
cut down the National Guard appro-
priation was endorsed, although 1t is
claimed that IA Democratic members
OF the House have determined not to
abide by the dictates OF the caucus.
Missouri has heretofore secured an
appropriation OF $40, 900 for two years
for the support of the Missouri Ma
tional Guard. The committee on APP
preparations had approved en- $4,000
appropriation for this and the caucus
favored cutting of three-fourths OF
this amount.
The Missouri troops who volunteer
ed in the Spanish American war re-
ported TO their mobilization points
like 30 many tramps. For instance,
our guardsmen, after being trans
ferred to the volunteer army, were
sent to the larger camps and, in the
case OF the 9TH Missouri, were known
as the ragged-backed 9th; nor was the
name confined to the immediate local
ity, but they we're generally known by
that title. For months the boys did
parade, drill and guard duty In clothes
hardly fit for polite society To hold
up the honor of old Missouri one may
see what efforts the bows had to nut
forth as against troops who left their
State camps in the very best of shape
as far as equipment was concerned.
Other states, such as New York, ap-
proprfated s700, 900; Michigan sppro-
priated s400, 200; Wisconsin appropri-
ated s200, 600, etc. Only four states
In the union have more men liable for
military duty than Missouri.
