Miss Lillian LauX is Elected
Queen Of the Fall
Carnival.
Miss Lillian Laux, 44,5e4
Mrs. Harry Ardery, 37,2ot
Miss Blockie Jamison $3.50

The contest for queen is ended and
siiss Lillian Lsux will be queen of the
fall carnival.
The contest created much interest
and the carnival was widely advertis-
ed owing to the coupons appearin in
THE LEADER aud the Capital.
Yesterday s6,505 votes we're cast. The
counting committee began work at
o'clock last night on the ballots and
in the surprisingly short period of
four hours, reached result.
There were twenty-three candidates
besides the three mentioned above, in
the race for queen, but all the votes
cast yesterday were for the three
leaders. Miss Laux's plurality is 1898
votes.
The total vote cast in the contest
was 100, 765
The immense vote cast, which is
three-fourths larger than the vote cast
on similar occasions in towns the size
OF Guthrie, demonstrates the active
interest taken by tue friends OF the
candidates.
Miss Lillian Laux, the winner of the
contest, is the daughter OF Nicholas
Laux, She was born in Decatur, H.,
and came TO Guthrie with her parents
in 1850. The family remained here
but a short time, however, and re-
moved TO Tacoma, Wash In 1892 the
family returned to Guthrie, where
they have resided ever since. Miss
Laux is a gracious, amiable and accom-
plished young lady, and favorite in
society. That she will carry her
queenly honors with becoming grace
goes without saying.

The Horses of Manila,

Among the first things to impress a
stranger are the horses. Descended from
horses brought from Mexico, they have
become much smaller, while they are
also much more shapely. In fact, have
never seen better looking breed. There
is nothing of the pony in their shape,
though in size they range between 4S and
81 inches. At first it looked absurd to
see them ridden by big men whose stir
rups hung down to the horses knees,
but soon found out that they easily
carried rider weighing 200 pounds.
The foreigners have jockey club,
which holds two meetings year at the
beautiful turf track at Santa Mesa. To
avoid sharp practice members of the
club only are eligible to ride. This
necessitates scale of weights starting
at 1872 pounds and rising to 154 pounds.
1t demonstrates the speed and strength
Of these miniature horses that mile
has been run in 2:10 by pony carry
ing 100 pounds. Only stations are
used. Mares cannot even be brought
into the city. Nobody walks; everybody
rides, and on any special fiesta thou
sands of carriages fill the streets. |
doubt If there is a city in the world
that can turn out half the number of
private vehicles in proportion to the
population.

The Nagur and the Fiddle.

Here is story that the late Freder.
ick Douglass used to tell about himself,
says the Buffalo Express. Once when
he was in Dublin he felt very lonesome.
He was wandering about the streets
when he was attracted by two violins
in the window of a secondhand dealer.
Frederick entered and asked the price
of one of the instruments.
Five shillings, sor," said the Irish
dealer
Frederick tuned the violin and began
to play Rocky Road to Dublin. " Soon
the proprietor's wife heard the music
and entered the rear door. Then Fred
erick started i'll on 1.-THE Irish Washer
woman, and the couple began to dance
for dear life. When the music and
dancing stopped, Frederick rendered the
dealer shillings, but his performance
on the violin had greatly enhanced its
value in the mind of the storekeeper,
and as he hurried away to a place of
security he exclaimed:
'If black nagur can git sich chunes
out of that fiddle, I'll never sell it at
any price, begorrah p

On the point Of courage we have not

lates to one of the numerous heroic but
useless struggles on the northwest from

be relinquished as soon as occupied
When the men were retiring, harassed
by the fire Of the hillsmen and bewil-
dered by the growing darkness, q party
OF Ii went astray and found themselves
in position where resistance and re-
treat were alike hopeless. They were
exposed without protection and were
shot down one by one.
When their comrades retook the val

covered also the evidences of a rare act
of courage, devotion and cool Judgment.
Knowing that their end had come, and,
knowing further that every Lee Metford
rifle that fell into the hands of the AT
ridis meant the loss of many English
lives, the men had extracted the breech
locks from the rifles and hurled them
down the ravine so that the rifles when
taken should be useless to their captors.

CONRAD GAINING STRENGTH

Inasmuch as the democrats control
the Legislature of this state, we may
look to see democrat elected to
succeed Senator Mantle in the Unit
ed States senate. Wisdom perceives
that even between evils there is a
certain range of choice, and it may
be worth our while to point dis
tinction.
Among the democratic candidates
there is strong logical preference
for w. G. Conrad of Great Falls.
Mr.. Conrad is a new factor in Mont
ana politics, and is thus wholly uni
Identified with the big democratic
feuds of the state, on which account
his services as senator will be more
generous, and less partial. All the
other candidates are more or less
tied up with one faction or another,
and their services, if elected, would
benefit faction even to the sacrifc e
of the general good.
Mr.. Conrad, it is worthy of remark,
has developed into formidable can
didate. This fact, regarded with
pride by his friends, is emphasized
by the numerous favorable press
comments appearing all over the
state. Some say he will 60 into the
caucus with strong plurality
some say majority. The uncertain
crowd which is always present in
such contests is especially strong
this year, and it appears to have no
definite object in the fight except to
beat Mr.. Clark. Mr.. Clark's mana
gers are not so apt to gain the
doubtful ones as are Nj. Conrad's.
The latter is attending personally to
his campaign, with rooms establish
ed at the Helena hotel, and all OF
his acquaintances know that he
would not pursue with such deter
mination light which he knew to
be false. While Mr.. Conrad stays
in Helena there is hope of his win
ming the race.
Mr.. Conrad is broad gagged and
enterprising, and his business ven
lures in northern Montana have gone
far toward giving this state the sub
stantial standing she has today

Nobody knew what damage had been

their overcOats and their hats and they
carried rugs and handbags They elbow

the evident intent of securing for them

just at time when breath would have

Sen. Justin Morrill, is dead. He
was in congress 43 years, 81 OF
which were spent in the senate. He
was the author of the tariff bill OF
1861. Was personally acquainted
with Webster, Clay and Calhoun
He looked enough like Charles Sum
ner to be son of that gentleman,
although he was taller. He sat
steadily in the United States senate
from 81 to the day of his death.
Had he lived till next April IA, he
would have been 80 years old. His
hold upon the people of Vermont
and upon his senatorial chair was
not always attributable to sheer
bility, but he was nevertheless an
able senator, and like Gladstone his
mind was active until the very day
of his death.

A FAITHFUL SERVANT.

The preference Of this paper is
'that Senator Mantle should succeed
himself. No matter what the demo-
Gratis may do. they cannot hope to Sc
cure more able, willing or trust
worthy representative than he. His
services for the past four years as
.~senator have been marked by ability,
industry and sterling integrity for
all the interests of this great state. :.
There are men so narrow and pre-
JUDGED upon public questions that
they would not see any man or class
of men prosper except they them
y selves enjoy the greater portion. Not
so of Senator Mantle. Himself Deep
ly interested in the silver question,
) he does not begrudge the woolgrow-
er or manufacturer a fair share of
prosperity if it can be brought to
them.
There are men without number
who, unable themselves to succeed
are envious of the success of their
neighbors. There are calamity poll
" ticians who even deny the existence
of any prosperity which has not come
through the particular avenue which
they travel. Senator Mantle is
broader than these. He is logical
and statesmanlike in the disposition
eof public questions, and it is not ex-
pected that the democrats will select
a more capable man as his successor.

A Wonderful Time DiYider.

The new pendulum chronoscope is
said to be the most wonderful timing
instrument in the world. 1t measures
accurately down to the one-thousandth
part of second. 1t can be used with
the quickness of stop watch. and nei-
ther electrician nor mathematician is
needed to operate the instrument, which
is mechanical, with simple electrical
attachments. The speed of a cannon
ball can be determined by the new
timer, and A will tell the lapse of time
between the firing of revolver and the
starting of runner, or determine how
long it takes boxer to deliver a blow.
