Jack Jolly, formerly city marshal of
Butte, is still doing business in the Klon-

he became the terror Of the Canadian side

According to advices from Klondike,
several Montana men have made lucky
strikes. ST Marks, formerly manager Of
Cans & Klein's store in this city, has
struck it rich on Magnet gulch, below
Bonanza. Galbraith, 6, former Helena

ter mechanic Of the East Helena smelter,
also rave good things or Bonanza.
Prejudice against home manufactures
is ridiculous, but it can be overcome by
honest quality n cheap prices. Organ
lied society can aid the growth and rise
of particular industries, and this is just
what is taking place in Montana, where
the people place their seal Of approval
on Centennial beer. It has overcome all
obstacles, simply by merit, and it is a
welcome guest in thousands of Montana
homes today, chiefly because its quality
can be relied upon. Are you fostering
one of the industries of Montana which
gives employment to thousands of men
in your own state? If not, now is a good
time to begin.

THE ALIBI COMPLETED.
BUTTE AND SPOKANE SIGNATURES
OF SAM PHILLIPS COMPARED.

County Attorney Connolly has satisfied
himself that Sam Phillips is not the man
who killed Adolph Schwade in Whisky
gulch, south of the city, on May IL, 1897.
Phillips has now been at liberty about
two weeks. At the time he was turned
loose the public prosecutor got him to sign
a, in order to secure his sigma
ture for comparison with one he sale he
had left on the books Of the street depart
ment in Spokane abou the time the muir
der was committed. Phillips had no Idea
why the attorney wanted his signature.
A few days later the signature was sent
to the county attorney of Spokane and
that gentleman with others compared it
with the one in file in the city's books. A
letter press copy of it was taken and with
the original sent back to Mr.. Connolly.
The Spokane signature is the exact coun-
terpart of the one secured by Mr.. Con-
molly, which proves conclusively that
Phillips was in Spokane at the very min
ute Schwade was shot and killed. The
Spokane attorney not only sent the two
signatures, out also a bill for 500 for SER
vices rendered.

WHITE HEATHER. X

0eetshmen Believe II Brings Good
II Luok-nlue An Ill Omen.
j When the Princess Beatrice was
oarried she was presented by the high
isAders Of Balmoral with a bouquet
centaining q conspicuous sprig Of
white heather. There was a profus-
ION Of flowers at Osborne House, but
mono considered so precious as this
epray OF white blossoms, and II the
bouquet had not arrived in time the
Archbishop Of Canterbury would have
been obliged to wait for Its coming, for
the highlanders, who wished to do the
Princess honor. felt that 1t was indis-

1t during the marriage ceremony, or,
- they express 1t, "be. married in It,"
WHO finds keeps" is q common say

to look for white heather. The search
ers are many. but few find it, even
when It is wanted to grace the mar
rfaSe bouquet Of princess. A blend
tng OF blue and purple is the familiar
color OF the flower, and 1t Is found in
plenty In very pale tints, so pale that
the searcher is often deceived, believ-
ing at first sight he has found "the
white pearl" Many a highlander
who travels the hills daily never found
q sprig of real white heather; not that
he never looked for 1t. for every high
lander believes that 1t brings rare good
luck to the finder. and that the luck
can be passed on TO his friends. Ex-
cept In color 1t does not differ from
that which covers all the highland
hills. It is the ordinary flower, but
pure white, standing out from tho
clumps Of purple like a snow nske.
They say in the far North that when
the sheep, who dearly love the tender
heather, come across It In their graz
Ing. they avoid harming It. and the
grouse have never been known to
crush 1t with their wings. There are
three varieties Of heather in Scotland,
and each sends up white flower. The
purple flower Is the most and then a
pure white sprig in miles Of familiar
OF all sights on the hills. Burns sings
OF the blue heather bell." but only the
snow white acts as a talisman.

IN JAIL FOR DEBT.
Debtors Prison Where Immorality
Reignsa Supreme.

Debtors Prison Where Immorality
Rsignsa Supreme.
The Kings Bench was the largest Of
all the debtors prisons. 1t formerly
stood on the east side Of the High
street, on the site Of what Is now the
second street north Of st. Georges
Church. London. This prison was
taken down in 175s. and the debtors
we're removed to a larger and much
more commodious place on the other
side of the street south of Liant street
the site Is now marked by a number Of
new and very ugly houses and mean
streets. In the year 1776 the prisoners
had to lie two In bed, and even for
those who could pay there were not
beds enough, and many slept on the
noor OF the chapel. There were 395
prisoners; In addition to the prisoners
many OF them had wives and children
with them. There were 279 wives and
275 children-a total of 1899 sleeping
every night In the prison. There was a
good water supply, but there was no
inf1rmary, no resident surgeon, and no
bath. Imagine place containing 1899
persons. and NO bath and no infirmary!
Among these prisoners, about hun
dred years ago. was a certain Colonel
George Hanger. who has left his Me
moirs" behind him for the edifcation
of postority. According to him the
prison "rivaled the purlieus Of Wap-
ping St Giles and 81 yamao' In vtco
debauchery, and drunkenness" The
general immortality was 30 great that 1t
was only possible. he says, to escape
contagion by living separate, or by
consorting only with the few gentle
men of honor who might be found
there. Otherwise a man will quickly
sink into dissipation: he will lose every
sense Of honor and dignity, every moral
principal and virtuous disposition"
