Poisoned by Dog Killed Sheep.

strange illness of members of the fami-

To Mr.. Bos and not knowing the danger
from the practice Mr.. Bos dressed the
animal and had 1t served on the family
table. a Ii year-old daughter of Mr.
Bos was immediately taken i'll, her
lower limbs swelling to twice the natur-
al size after eating the meat. An older
daughter was likewise taken Ill, her
hands becoming quite swollen. The
fact coming to the attention of the
neighbors, the township health officers
were called in. Mr.. Bos insisted that
the girls we're suffering from rheuma-
tism, but the physicians are sure that
they are suffering from blood poisoning
as the result of eating diseased meat.

Wedding RumOr n Fake.

John NJ. Wolford says that the old
woman who started the report that he
was recently married is entitled to a
gallon of wine, at his expense. He
thinks he can well afford to do this as
the army of customers who came to
congratulate him Monday hes
more than justified the expense of gal
lon of wine. A representative of the
Independent hearing the report, called
upon John Monday and while he
seemed perfectly willing to plead guilty
to most any other old charge, he en-
phstically denied being victim of
cupid's darts. We can state authOra-
lively that our friend Wolford is still on
the market.

Bookwalter has reached the conclu-
sion that a contest would not be of
any particular benefit to him. But
there is to be a contest, though, two

candidate for city clerk, and Wall,
candidate for police Judge, have both
instituted proceedings to have the
courts declare them the rightful pos
SCISSORS of the said offices of city
clerk and police Judge. The out

suit might have been had there been
a contest for the office of mayor.

Carl Schurz came near telling the

Carl SChurz came near telling the
truth when he said in his Chicago
speech that the chief factors in the
expansion of American markets
were value and cheapness. 1t is so
in everything everywhere. The
man who furnishes the best for the
least money is the man who makes
the sale. 1t is not necessary for the
United States to go seven thousand
miles and whip people into sub
lection in order that the markets of
this country may be expanded.
There are other ways of finding a
market, and present figures indicate
that the foreign market for Amer
lean products was never larger or
better than now.

AN INJUSTICE DONE.

Connection With Louis Haslanger's


Louis Haslsnger has returned from
Chicago to South Bend, accompanied by
Henry q. Christman and Dudley Nj.
Shively. Mr.. Shively. being asked for
the facts about the Haslanger arrest,
said: al think a great injustice has
been done this man. The facts as de-
velOped showed that Haslanger had not
been asked to make regular statements
to the company of his account, and
that last week he went to Chicago for
the purpose of making settlement
with the company and was unable to
zee the manager, as the office was
closed when he got there. Instead of
waiting he went to Milwaukee, where
he had agreed to sing. While there, the
manager of the company by whom he
was employed went to Canada on his
wedding trip, and the man left in
charge of the office became alarmed,
and without careful investigation had
Has anger arrested. The account ZEN
d1red by HaslsDger was afterwards
found to have been correct, and Mr.
HaslaDger paid the company every cent
due them, as he had gone to Chicago
before his arrest to pay, and when these
facts became known he was at once re-
leased. No charge was made against
him and an investigation shows that
he has acted honestly throughout, and
that his arrest was caused by the too
hasty action of the clerk left in charge
of the office temporarily. Everything
was satisfactorily explained, and all
charges against him promptly dismissed
upon investigation"

Commenting relative to the re
cent attack made upon John Alex.
ander Dowie by a mob of medical
students, the Chicago Journal peril
nently remarks: cit is pretty
good plan to leave the enforcement
of the laws against Dowieism, OF
anything else, to the constituted
authorities, not to try to put down
lawlessness with more and greater
lawlessness. Especially is this the
case where quack has been clever
enough to mask his quackery with
religion and give efforts to suppress
him the appearance of religious per.
secut!on. Sects thrive on that SORT
of thing. 1t makes martyrs oil
them, and human nature is so con.
stituted that it always sees in mar
tyrdom the proof of holiness"

man has no authority to fill any
office in that state other than school
offices. The case affected a woman
who had been elected to the office
of prosecuting attorney of one of

encouragement of rhe state brought
custer proceedings. The court con-
cludes that when the constitution is
silent as to the qualifications to office
it must be understood that none but

MUCH CREDIT DUE MIR. SIMONS.

Now that the coming of the
Clizbe factory is assured, it might
be we'll to call attention to the fact
that this factory was secured for
Plymouth by the constant vigilance
and efforts of M. w. Simons. 1t
was through his efforts that it was
possible for the Clizbe concern to
purchase the plant at so nominal a
price. This deal has been on for
three or four months but Mr.. ST.
mons acted chiefly with only few
of the Business Mems association.
The Clizbe people were brought
here several times and by constant
efforts were made to see that it
would be good business policy to
come here.
To those parties who fought MIR.
Simons so hard when he was seek
ing the electric contract, it might be
a fair idea to suggest that our de-
parted friend Mickey would not
have been as valuable a citizen, to
say the least. 1t never pays city
to turn down a man who is willing
and anxious to work for its welfare
and prosperity, especially when it
costs personal sacrifices to do it.

ural laws of competition, we must be
careful lest we forget that 1898 has
robbed the far east of her commercial
aud industrial crown and placed it on
the head Of a people farther to the west

will prosper for the n 9 xt ten years, and
perhaps the next score Of years, in a
measure that it has never enjoyed be-
fore. And when I say west, I do not

THF BOUNTY Law,

If the stockmen of the state take the
same action as those Of Yellowstone
county. the duty of the legislature is
plain as regards the bounty law. The
cattle, sheep and horsemen of this coun-
ty are generally signing a petition to
the legislature praying that the bounty
on coyotes Of So be retained, that the
bounty On wolves be increased to IS
and that an additional tax be levied on
the livestock interests sufficient to nav
both bounties in cash. If that is, what
tho stockmen want. they should GER
tainly have it. The special tax for the
protection of their herds and focks is
levied against the stockmen alone; they
are willing that it should be increased
to afford them more adequate protec-
ton against the ravages Of the wolves
and coyotes, and their wishes should
certainly be respected.
Under these circumstances, il the
stockmen OF the state generally take the
same position, it is difficult 10 see how
the Legislature can take any other ac-
ton. The matter Of the bounty ON
wolves and coyotes should be speedily
settled on these lines, which are fully
explained in a communication in this
issue from the pen Of Mr.. II. +. Gle.
ment of this city.

PROTECT OUR GOOD NAME.

The people of this state should bear
in mind that the democrats in the leg
islature are alone responsible for the
blot on the fair name of Montana in
this senatorial contest. Whether brib-
cry or conspiracy is shown to have been
practiced. it is democratic bribery or
conspiracy, and the republicans have
taken no part whatever in the shameless
methods employed. But as residents
of this state, the contumely of corrup-
tion attaches to every man, woman and
child in it. They are held up to the
scorn aud ridicule Of every state III the
Union; thousands Of newspapers il the
United States have published to the
world that a se%nato1ship is for sale in
Montana and her people are regarded
as scarcely capable Of self-government.
The same thing happened in 1888,
the last time the legislature of this
state was democratic. At that time, we
are panied to admit, a few republican
members yielded to the bribery that
was practiced, but they were promptly
read out Of the party by every news
paper advocating republican principles
in the state and today those men are
disgraced; the party was not held re-
sponsible for their dishonor because it
promptly condemned it.
This year, however, the evidences
multiply that the republicans will
stand firm and keep their hands clean.
They are making a noble record for
their party, which is in such marked
contrast to the disgraceful tactics of the
democrats that republicanism is 100
per cent stronger in Montana today
than it was two weeks ago. The next
election will demonstrate the truth of
this assertion and if the fifteen republic
stand by their party to the end Of
the session. it is now a foregone conclu-
sion that the next legislature of Mon
tana will be republican. The people of
this state, smarting under the disgrace
which democracy has heaped upon
them, are sure to retaliate at the polls
at the next election. They must and
will protect the good name of Montana.

Yellowstone Journ al: Recently j
became the unpleasant duty Of thi
newspaper to call att ention to the de
plorable conditions Of affairs in thiI
state whenever democracy was per
United to take the helm and as a com
panion picture, we showed how differ
ent things were under a republican
regime and modestly asserted that the
only hope for a proper honest and pro
gressive administrator Of the affairs Of
the state, was to appeal to the republi.
can party to again take charge. Tc
this the Helena Independent objects,
using the following hasty language:
Steady there. colon lei. Don't rub ii
in too hard. If you dc we may be
compelled to call attention to the rape
of the state by the republican party,
upon its first admission to the union,
and to the scandals connected with the
election Of the first senator's. And then,
there is the election of Senator Carter
with it's savory memorie.
Very we'll. AS to the Grape of the
tate," does the independent want to go
into a consideration Of the initial out
rage-precinct 34-with it's wonder
fully prepared poll books that were a
verbatim reproduction of the registry
list; wherein was disclosed the phe-
nomenal and altogether unprecedented
fact that all the CAS-" in the COM
munity voted first, followed in regular
order by the "B, 81 ''C's" and "D's,''
and SO on through the alphabet? It is
unnecessary to allege the political COM
plexion of this rema rkahle ballot. OF
course it was demo cratic from A to
lizard.
Next, does the Independent care to
attempt the rebuttal of Governor
Hauser's pithy anothegm, "We stole
the satte all right e bough, but the re-
publicans knocked us down and took it
away from u.s." At the very worst we
were only recovering stolen property
by force, a procedure fully warranted
by law and custom, the world over.
We submit these matters to the indie
pendent as a sort of curtain raiser.
After this ..'rape'' is disposed Of, we
will move to the consideration of the
remaining allegations with the same
confidence in disproving them that we
have in this.

SENATOR FORAKER ON EXPANSION

SENATOR FORAKER ON EXPANSION.
It was but a few days ago that
United States Senator Foraker, in the
course Of a speech on expansion in the
upper house Of congress, knocked the
pins from under those who are against
that policy and at the same time caused
a stir among his own colleagues. The
senator, who is probably as close to the
president as any other member of con-
gress, dropped, during his speech. a
few hints of knowledge Of the admins.
tration policy in regard to the Philip
pine islands. All during his speech
Senator Foraker was closely questioned
by opponents of annexation, but he
aptly answered all queries and at the
close received a perfect ovation.
The speech was made during the de-
bate on expansion which is now in pro-
gress in the senate. Heretofore all the
speeches, with the notable exception OF
that Of Mr.. Platt of Connecticut, have
been in opposition to what is presumed
to be the policy Of tho administration
with respect to the acquisition of the
Philippines. He brought out many
new points, sustaining at every one the
policy of the administration.
Mr. EoraEor frct oIlroscol %ho
ate in opposition to the declaration Of
the Vest resolution that the United
States had no constitutional power to
acquire foreign territory to be main
tanned as colonies. He laid down the
broad proposition that to adopt the
Vest resolution was to declare that our
fathers had brought forth a nation that
was inferior to all other nations, re-
CARELESS OF the generally accepted idea
that one nation was the equal of
another and all equally restricted. He
maintained that the government of the
United States had ample power to &C.
quire new territory by treaty and said
that territory so acquired was acquired
oonstitutionally.
THE trouble," said the senator, "is
that senators are talking about a theory
instead Of o practical condition. What
have the senators who have discussed
these theories, proposed? Nothing.
