Senator Hoar stated the case thus,
for he does not believe in Imperialism
or getting vassals either by purchase
or conquest, or both. He thus expressed
1t: believe that republic is greater
than an empire. / believe
that the United States, when William
Mckinley was inaugurated, was a
greater world power than Rome in the
height of her glory, or even England
with her four hundred million vassals.

icated, secured a razor and attempted
to slash a woman who resided there.
In this he did not succeed, for some men
who stood nearby, ran over to him and
caught him. While he was in charge
of the officer Marchelli again drew the
razor evidently with the intention to
cut the ufficer, but Piero saw him and
avoided the blow. He was locked up.

The Republican state platform takes
ground against trusts, but the authors
did not mean it, and the trust fellows
know it, 1t was only little more fool

reached the bank. William NJ. Thornton,
cashier of the bank. said yesterday; "We
have received returns from all our East
ern remittances on the road at the time
of the robbery and know the report must
be a mistake. No remittance of ours is
missing. 90
The statement that the check was sent
from the Anaconda bank was printed on
Wednesday in all the Chicago papers with
the exception of the Times-Herald. The
report in that paper gives a possible eX-
PLANTATION of the mystery of the big check
as follows:
Money orders and checks directed to
all parts of the country We're found in
the pile, among them check for 10000
and another for a large amount drawn on
Marcus Days bank in Anaconda"
If the check were simply drawn on the
Anaconda bank and not sent from it. the
bank would probably have no knowledge
of its being in existence until it was pre-
scented.
F. The reason that so many of the Chicago
papers made the apparent error is found
in the fact that news bureau furnished
the same report to each, and it appeared
as furnished in all the papers with the
exception of the Times Herald which
gathered its own report.

DRANK CARBOLlC ACID

A young girl, who is about 10 years of
age, attempted to commit suicide last
Monday evening by taking carbolc acid.
The girls name is unknown and her res
idence could not be learned, but it is said
that a love affair was the cause of her
her act. The unfortunate girl had been
employed in the city as a waitress. She
met a young man to whom she became
engaged He promised to marry her, but
about two weeks ago he lost his position
at the works and left for the East, leav-
ing behind him letter explaining to the
girl that he would not return to marry
her.
Then she became respondent, purchased
some carboic acid and attempted to
commit suicide. Her friends reached her
just in time, a physician was called and
several days after she was again well.
The girls friends informed the Florence
Crittenton circle, subscriptions were
raised and it was decided to purchase
life membership for her in the home at
Boise City. Idaho.
The unfortunate girl left last evening
for Boise, Idaho.
Sensational as the details of the story
are, they have heretofore been carefully
concealed No mixing of them became
public until yesterday, when the secre-
tary of the Florence Critteiiton Rescue
the following note of the business which
had been transacted at the special meet
Ing of the circle on Friday afternoon:
'At a special meeting of the Florence
Crittenton circle it was decided to send

has become interested and for whom they
have been, and still are, soliciting aid, to
the Florence Crittenton home in Boise
city.
ct is the purpose of the ladies to Sc
cure for her a life membership in this
home.
This is indeed charitable work. and
any aid that can be given in searching out
the friendless ones and giving aid tinan-
cially will be most gratefully received by
the circle
As this was the first work of the circle
in this city, a Standard reporter imme-
diately set out for information about the
girl. 1t was at first believed she was some
unfortunate who was out of employment.

that the Florence Crittenton circle has
undertaken

THE MON TANA EXPRESS
To BE Abandoned by the Great

To he Abandoned by the Great
Northern.
1t is reported on good authority that
the Great Northern will abandon its Mon
tana express, which now leaves here ev-
cry evening and runs as far as Minot,
says the st. Paul Dispatch. The road will
however, continue the operation of this
train for the present until the track has
recovered from the effect of recent rains,
in order to accommodate local business
without delaying the through coast train
They expect to later to be able to make
the local stops and still preserve their
fast time between here and Seattle.
When the time tables of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern were changed
this week SO as to do away with double
daily service, it was necessary to length
en- the running time between st. Paul
anu Seattle about two hours. The trains
start from the terminal at the same time,
but arrive at their destination two hours
later. This extra time is consumed in
making the local stops which were pre-
viously divided up between the two trains
on each line.
