ALL SORTS Of
CONVENTIONS
THIS WILL BE A BUSY WEEK
FOR THE POLITICIANS
IN BUTTE.
- WIS
FIVE BODIES OF TICKET
MAKERS WILL GATHER.
Labor Party Leads OFF Today-Joe
Woolman's Forecast of Repub-
lican Victory.

tThis will be a week of conventions in
Butte. The labor party is holding it's
convention to-day. The 'hiN' democrats
will meet tomorrow and the minority"
republicans will also meet at Sutton's
Family theater tomorrow. The call for
the latter was published in a morning
democratic paper to-day and signed by S.
H. Treloar, chairman, and Joseph Pyle,
secretary. The fact thai the "hill' DEM
ocrats and ""minority" republicans meet
on the same day is said to AVE no spe-
cial significance and there are no rumors
of fusion between the two wings in the
air.
It is understood that the minority" re-
puDlicans will not put a county ticket in
the field. but will endeavor tC effect a flu
sion with the ''bank" wing of the democ-
racy, which meets at Sutton'S Family
theater ait 10 o'clock Thursday morning.
1t is understood that the 'hill' democ-
racy will meet tomorrow and adjourn
sine die without nominating a ticket.
This is due to the fact that they were re-
fused recognition at Helena last week.
The primaries of the independent or
chilli democrats will be held Thursday
and the county convention on Saturday.
1t is expected that besides the selection
of 122 delegates and 122 alternate dele
gates to attend the state convention to
be held in Butte Oct. 2, candidates for
the various county offices Will Zoe named
next Saturday. The call is signed by Z.
J. Macarthur, committeeman II u.

THE populists will also meet in county

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS.

a"The outlook for the success of the re-
Publican ticket is most flattering,' said
United States Marshal j. P. Woolman to-
day prior to his departure for his home
im Helena. "The election of the state

conditions may govern in county politics
in many cases, but the state will go re-
publican. We have a good strong ticket
that has the confidence of the people.

COAL SHEDS BURNED.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON UPPER
MAIN ST. THIS MORNING.
Loss Will Aggregate Several Thousand
Dollars-Two Short Line
Cars Burned.

One of the hottest fires that has visited
Butte in a long time occurred at the
yards of the Northwest and Silver Bow
Coal companies, on upper Main street at
an early hour this morning. The origin
is unknown. but it seems to be pretty
generally conceded that ncendiarism
was the cause.
With the exception of the Oregon Short
Line railroad, the heaviest loss will fall
to the Silver Bow Coal company, which
had two sheds of coal burned containing
about 100 tons of fuel, besides the con-
tents of two cars which had partly been
unloaded yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Thompson, one of the officers of the
company, said this afternoon that the
loss to his would probably
reach 81, 200, which is only about one
half covered by Insurance..
The Northwest Coal company lost
about 20 cords of wood and probably 80
or 40 tons of coal. valued at about $500,
which was partly covered by insurance.
Two Oregon Short Line cars were
standing on the track partly unloaded
and they were totally destroyed.
Some damage was done to the Butte,
Anaconda & Pacific tracks which will
necessitate the putting in of several
lengths of rails and ties.
The fire broke out about 2 o'clock this
morning when a general alarm was
sounded. The department responded
promptly ,DuL WneI lHe SCeHe SdCA-
ed the fire had obtained good Roadway
and about all that could be done was to
save adjoining property. The immense
warehouse belonging to the Northwest
| Coal ompany and containing a large
amount of hay and grain, was threaten
ed and it was only through hard work on
! the part of the firemen and favorable
winds. that it's destruction was prevent
ed. Had this building caught, several
more railroad cars would have gone UP
in smoke and the propert destroyed
would nave been several times as great.
The fremen were on the ground about
four hours. Just what the loss to the
railroad compan will be could not be
ascertained but it is safe to say the
total losses to all concerned Will foot UP
to several thousand dollars.
The members of the fire department
believe the fire was the work of some
maliciously inclined person, and atten-
!tiSn was called to the fact that this
makes the third coal yard blaze the de-
pertinent has responded to within the
mast few weeks. The Butte Coal COM
pany suffered a severe loss only a short
time ago; other fires were started. but
nut out before much damage was done.
They believe there is a chance for some
shrerWd detective work. Last nights hre
was started in the wood pile belonging
to the Northwest company and was, hrst
discovered by the Waterman employed
by the B., A.. & P. railway. {,
1t was said this morning That seven
teen lengths of hose brought down from
the Stewart mine were stolen sometime
after the fire was under control. AT a
late hour this afternoon the mystery OF
it's whereabouts had not been solved.

REGISTRATION.

In all probability the registration of
voters in his county this fall will exceed
16, 900. The legislature of 1897 provided
that the registration Of voters should be-
gin the third Monday before election, but
it was found that this would not give
sufficient time for the work of registra-
ton, so the legislature of 1899 provided
that registration should begin on the
fourth Monday prior to the general cleo
ton.
Registration this year will begin on
Oct. Is and on Oct. 81. On the following
Monday, Oct. 90, the books will be opened
for the registration of those who We're
