lars of the $S5 stolen money from
| Sheepherder Walter Clark the other
night has been recovered by Chief
Guerin, who believes he has a strong
case against the thieves. He is con-
WINGED that at least three persons were
concerned in the robbing, although it
may be difficult to connect all Of them
with the crime.
Thieves broke into the residence Of
Mr. and Mrs. John Sherman on Sixth
street north while the latter were alb
sent on Sunday evening. They were
frightened away, however and secured
only a small amount of jewelry. They
entered at window and left by the
back door. No clew to their identity
has been discovered,
This forenoon the examination of D.
L. Farr, the fiddler, and one of the
parties accused of robbing Walter
Clark, was begun before Justice Race,
A. c. Gormley, county attorney, appear
ing for the state, and John A. Largent
for the defense. Mrs Phoebe Nealy
was the first witness put on the stand
Clark was in her room she saw Farr
get in at the window, remain about
four minutes and then leave. She did
not know what he was doing. Soon af-
! ter Clark missed his money. Then she
heard Farr and Belle Clayton, another
| inmate of the resort, talking outside.
but did not hear what was said. She
talked to the Clayton woman later
about the robbery, and was told to keep
| quiet, as there was SIS in it for her.
Clark testified to the loss of the mon-
ey, but knew nothing of Fairs entrance
into the room. His friend Caverley tes-
titled to having told FAIR that Clark
had $50 on him and was likely to be
robbed.
Belle Clayton was bad witness for
the Nealy woman and Farr. Her story
was that Farr had told her Mrs. Nealy
was to throw Clark's trousers out where
he could get hold of them and extract
the money. After Mrs. Nealy's arrest
Farr gave the witness $40, which she
cached in her trunk, and later turned
it over to the county attorney and Chief
Guerin. Farr had also given a dollar
each to witness, the Nealy woman and
another inmate of the joint.
No testimony was introduced by the
defense, and Farr was bound over to
the district court in the sum of $780,
which he was unable to obtain.

A VICTIM OF SMALLPOX
Janitor at the Pest House Has
Disease.
QUARANT TINE is EXTENDED
Board Prefers to Be on the Safe Side
The Scare in Lewistown Has
Passed-Has Only One
Patient.

Great Falls, Oct. 10.-A colored man
who has been employed as janitor and
fireman at the pest house fell victim
to the disease to-day. No new cases in
the city were reported. At a joint
meeting of the city and county boards
of health held this afternoon it was
ordered that the present quarantine
on the schools, churches, opera house,
beer halls and public meetings be ex-
tended for one week from Saturday
next, or until Oct. 81.
The reason for the extension of the
quarantine is that in a number of in
stances where people We're exposed the
period Of incubation has not yet pass
ed, and although the boards are salts
fed with the progress made in fight
ing the disease, they preferred to be
on the safe side before declaring the
quarantine off.
The smallpox scare in Lewistown
seems to have passed away in smoke.

the family have shown symptoms of
the disease, and no suspicious cases
exist in any other home. In fact, peo-
pie are unusually healthy.
Monday young woman arrived from
Great Falls whose appearance gave
rise to reports that she was in early
stages of smallpox, but this proved
wholly unfounded, certificates from
physicians which she carried establish
ing the ailment to be something en-
tirely removed from smallpox and not
in the least contagious.
Reports from other sections are to
the effect that no new cases exist, and
it. may safely be said that the danger
is we'll past, providing proper precau-
tiens are taken by the health authori-
ties for the thorough fumigation of
the Fowler residence after Mr.. Fow-
ler's recovery. Mayor Barnes is inter-
esting himself in this matter, and with
the assistance of the town and coun-
ty boards of health and DR.. Long, may
be depended upon to take all possible
means to prevent the spread of the
germs.

Prosperity Has Not Reached the Masses Ex-

Abroad-The Chicago Plat
form Gaining Ground.

home. A condition of constantly falling
general prices is everywhere recognized
as a condition of distress and hard
times, and speculation excitement in
Wall Street does not change this. We
believe that a small volume of money
forces prices down, hence we have urged
the coinage of our silver as well as of
our gold-not only to check the grind

lily advancing prices"
''Then you think the Chicago plat
form is gaining ground?'
II most certainly do. In the elections
of last year the principles of that plat
form were not the leading and exclu-
sive issues in all sections of the country.
These were partially obscured in many
States and districts. The question of
bimetallism, the Republican efforts to
retire the greenbacks and to confer
upon the national banks the absolute
control of the volume of paper money,
and to surrender the country to the
trusts, were, in many sections, for the
time being lost sight of in the excite
ment of the war and its resulting ques
tions, and in others they were side
tracked by efforts to substitute local is
sues in their stead. The result was
great loss IF interest and large Ealing
off in the vote, with apparently unfavor-
able results to the Democratic party.
In Colorado, where national issues were
ut the front and dominant. the interest
in the election was intense, the vote
large and our majority overwhelming.
In States where it was stated, whether
truly or not, that there was an inten-
tion on the part of the Democratic man
ayers to sidetrack the great issue, with
the purpose of ultimately bringing the
party in national convention back to the
practice of shutting and evasion, so
long persisted in by Republicans, the in
terest was not great, the vote was not
full, and the results were not conclusive.
There was, however, one great and
valuable result-all reasonable men are
now satisfied that stradding and dodg-
ing are not popular. The next Demo-
cratic convention viii speak out again
in the same clear, unequivocal terms,
and i'll the same manner and on the
same lines that it did in 1896. OF this
there is no doubt the assertions of the
Republican gold press. with whom the

ABOUT STAR ROUTES.
The Senate Talking Sense About Sub
letting Routes.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Senate
spent most of the day on the Post Of
fee Appropriation bill, but failed to com
plete it. After animated discussion of
the pneumatic tube system, Mr.. Gull
lom's amendment increasing the appro-
priation for this purpose and designed
to extend the system to Chicago, was
tabled.
A spirited controversy arose over the
Senate amendment that Star Route bid
ders shall reside on the route where the
service is to be performed. Mr.. Money,
(Miss.), said this would result in leaving
many star routes without service as
there would be no local bidders.
Mr.. Pasco, (Fla.), said steps should be
taken to break up this speculative bid
ding in star routes. He had seen the
service carried on in Florida in a manner
unworthy of the government, as a result
of the system of sub-letting.
The amendment was allowed to stand
with a suggestion from Mr.. Jones, (Ark.),
that the conferees provide against sub
letting of star route bids.
A number of bills of minor Importance
were passed early in the day.
At o'clock tributes to the memory
of the late Representative Simpkins, of
Massachusetts were pronounced.
At 4:o0 p. m. the Senate adjourned.

The fruit growing and trucking in

The truckers on the lines of the At

The truckers have suffered very CON
siderably by poor refrigerator cars and
it is absolutely necessary that some
steps should be taken for their pro-
lection. Mr.. Emerson was anxious to
protect the interest of the truckers and
manifested great interest in their wishes

THE WAR IN PHILIPPINES.
We are Shooting Our Principles Into
the Natives.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-General Otis
to-day cabled the War Department the
names of nine American soldiers wound
ed on Taliquina Road, north of the
pumping station yesterday. OF these
private George Adams, Company \,
First Nebraska, died last night.
The report of such skiImishes as those
noted above, and the stories of frequent
firing by concealed natives upon the
American outposts, have conveyed the
impression to the officials here that
General Otis is being rapidly brought to
n pass where he must assume a most
vigorous offensive campaign. Al
though no instructions have yet been
sent to him, it is assumed that he will
feel justified soon in doing this TO pre-
vent the demoraliza ton of his troops
and also to make his position tenable
i'll the approaching wet season. The
nature of the country around Manila
favors the tactics the insurgents seem
to have adopted after learning that
they could not face the American sol
diers in the open field, and it doubtless
it will be General Otis task, just as
to clear them away.
Half dozen natives concealed in the
jungle and firing at long range at in
tervals, could make the situation un-
bearabe for a whole company of regu-
lar troops until they were dislodged
Military officers who have had eXpe-
rience in this kind of fighting say that
men become paniclly and lose their nerve
under this treatment.
1t is estimated that at the rate of
progress now making by the transport
Grant, the l 800 troops on that ship will
land at Manila about March 4th. A
couple of weeks later the Sherman
will arrive at the same place with a
similar number of troops and two weeks
after that the Sheridan is due with the
troops now embarking at New York.
Manila the dry season will have gotten
well toward an end, and only a few
weeks will be left for active operations.
