plantations, however, don't make it
clear why President Nichols and Sec
rotary Williams should have been ig-

the organization was not recognized in
making the selections from the colored
ranks. This is no doubt true. The
Republicans never have been hasty to
recognize independent movements

POLITICS At THE pen. :
Serious Charges Made BY q Former
Employe of the Prison.
THAT HE WAS ALMOST
FORCED TO RESIGN BECAUSE
HE WOULD NOT DECLARE FOR
HAWK-HENNING AT CHAR
LESION - OTHER POLITICAL
NEWS AND NOTES.

A former employee of the State prison
at Moundsville alleges that all the off,
Gals of that institution, great and
small, are given to understand that
they must support the candidacy of
Warden S. A. Hawk for State Auditor.
He states that they are not so told in
so many words, but that the inference
is so plain that it is generally under
stood, and he says further that his
resignation was brought about indi-
rectly by his refusal to declare openly
in favor of Hawk for Auditor.
The former employee referred to IS
sore, very, very sore, and makes other
charges against the management of the
Institution. He alleges that Federal
/ prisoners are permitted outside the
pen" in citizens clothes, contrary to
law; that three convicts were permit
ted to attend the recent county fair
without being accompanied by guards;
that three designations and two dis
charges are the result of Warden
Hawks political ambition.
The former attache of the prison
also furnished additional information
concerning the fight between Guards
Moore and Henry, referred to in the
Register few days ago. He alleges
that after the captain OF the guards
had separated the two men he permit
ted one to strike the other and to kick
him after knocking him down.
Charles n. Henning, who has been
one of the most prominently discussed
of the numerous Republican candidates
for Auditor, arrived in the city last
.eyening from Wheeling. He was i'm
mediately taken in tow by Auditor La
Toilette, with whom he played cronies
for the evening. Both denied that
there was any significance in their
companionship.

He says he will be in the race for the

PRICE Of MEAT GOES UP
Restaurant Keepers Announce a
Material Increase.
DEMAND FOR BEEF CATTLE
There Is Scarcity of Meat All Over the
Country - The War and the
Hard Winter Is the
Cause of 1t.

The luck of a single man is always
hard but it will be harder in a day
or two. After having figured it all
out how much it's going to cost him
to live this month, he will find his plans
upset. And it's all because the price
of meat has gone up-aWay up. Some
restaurants have already put the in
creased prices into force and others
will follow in a day or two.
One prominent Anaconda restaurant
man has raised the price of sirloins.
T bones, top sirloins and one or two
other steaks 10 cents each. Those
steaks which We're formerly 40 cents
will now be 80 cents and those which
were so cents will be 60 cents. Some
Of the other restaurants have made adj
vances in their prices also.

prietor yesterday, land the houses from

winter on stock A stockman told me
a few days ago that the loss this year
would be 40 per cent. The army has
used up an enormous quantity of meat,
and is still using it. The consequence
is that the supply is inadequate to the
demand and the price goes up."
A wholesale and retail meat company
of Anaconda has increased the whole
sale price of its meat ! cent a pound

same as it has been. One of the COM

is a big demand for beef cattle from
the East and likewise from Seattle and

their customers. There is quite a

THE CLERKS BALL,

Probably the most enjoyable ball that
has been given in Anaconda this season
was the first annual ball of the Anaconda
Clerks union No. 81, w. +. of L., which
took place last evening at Turner hall.
The merchants had all agreed to close
their stores at 7 o'clock in order to give
their employees an opportunity to attend
the dance, for which consideration the
clerks desire to express their heartfelt
thanks.
The doors had scarce been thrown open
when the dancers began to arrive and
before half an hour had passed the hall
was filled with a comfortable crowd,
which was augmented at intervals up to
10 o'clock. The grand march was some
thing new and novel. 1t was led by Pro-
fessor Ackers and Mrs. Richards and was
unique and original. The dance lasted
until long after midnight, and everyone
had a very plea SAINT time. The excellent
music was furnished by the Margaret

DREAMS OF INVENTORS.
Often Solve Problems Which Puzzled
Them During Waking Hours.

From the Washington Star.
1T is wonderful how many persons
got their first ideas of what afterward
proved to be valuable Inventions while
asleep or dreaming" observed patent
office examiner recently. Others, after
Working for weeks or months on an in
Vention during their waking hours
have had the whole thing come clear to
them during a dream. On the other
hand, L have known of inventors to see
IN their dreams the impracticability of
their inventions on which they had OBJ
tanned patents and to change them so
that they would be practical
In withdrawing their applications for
amendment or improvement there are
numbers of instances where inventors
admit that they got the better idea dur
ing a dream. Some of the most sue
cessful moneymaking patents were in
this way dreamed rather than worked
out. 1t may be that the ordinary inven-
tor is more of dreamer than anything
else. Certain it is that nine tenthS of
the patents issued do not pay enough to
pay even their own expenses, and there
is not one in a thonsaud that pays any
thlng like big money to the inventor
or any one else.
There are a very large number of in
stances where inventors have been
granted all the way from five to 40 pat
ents not one of which has paid its ex-
penSes or is ever likely to do so. Like
in everything else, there seems to be less
necessity or opportunity for inventions
as time passes along. though there is
as much room and sale for good things
in this line as there ever was CAPITAL
is always ready to pick up and advance
valuable invention, though it takes
but little stock in any invention unless
there is something more solid about it
than dream. The mere fact that

plays no part with it. unless the patent
itself is of value. Capital don't invest
much in dreams of any kind
