DEMOCRACY ON THE RUN IN VEL
LoWSToNE COUNTY.
WAIT FOR BARREL OPENING,
Corrupt Use of Money in Billings,
and Not on Republican Side,
Either.
Billings, October %, 1900.

blllluSS, oStoOCl q .
The campaign iii this county seems to
be all one-sided, the republicans being
the ones who have the best of the propo-
sition. The republicans started in this
year to win, and unless appearances are
very deceptive, win they will. They are
profitirg by the apathy of the democrats,
but are not relaxing any of their vigil
lance and efforts, well knowing that the
democrats are going to do their work In
the week just previous to the erection.
Up to the present time tine democratic
barrel has not been opened i'm Billings
and this may be assigned aus the cause
for the non-interest among democrats.
The head of the organizat ion is ito be
here on October 80, and it will be neces-
sary to knock in the heads of a couple
of barrels at least if it is expected to
elect democrats to Office. None of the
local democratic politicians nave yet
made any speeches this year, and it is
given on good authority that if they do
go on the platform the Nome of W. A.
Clark will never be mentioned. A queer
state of affairs certainly exists in the.
democratic ranks of tais county. The
leading officers of the county central
committee are out and out Daily men, and

the cause of w. A. Clark. TIL outlook
was never more bright for the success
of the republican party in Yellowstone
county and the republicans will have
themselves to blame if they do not win
out on November 6. The party is unit
ed and a very strong campaign is being
conducted. and reports from the various
parts OF the county indicate that the re-
publicans will carry every precinct, with
the exception possibly of Billings, where
the corrupt use of money alone is the
chiaf democratI tic dependence.
The Yellowstone County Teachers in
stitute closed one of the most successful
and interesting sessions ever held on
Saturday afternoon, after a three-days'
meeting. All but one of the teachers OF
the county We're in attendance, there be-
ing nearly 40 enrolled. The instructors
were State Superintendent Carleton, Su-
perintendent Brayton of Billings and
Prof. P. H. Hawkins of Columbus. FRI
day night the teachers held a social ses-
sion in the court house, which was
largely attended and greatly enjoyed.
Music was furnished by the West orches-
ira, I. L. Whitney, %soloist, Mrs. A. H.
West accompanist, A. H. West yiolinist,
and Messrs. Purvis, Whitney, Graham
and Calhoun quartet. Hon. E. A. Carrie
ton delivered a very interesting lecture
on Educational Problems
Information has just been received
from New York of the favorable recep-
ton of the proposition of F.. A. Hall by
eastern moneyed men to build a railroad
from Bridger to the New World mining
district, with a terminus at Cooke City.
So favorabty has it been received that a
mpan called the Yellowstone Park
railroad company, was organized and
incorporated in Jersey City, N. j., last
Thursday, with a capital of $2.5O0, 900.
The cost of the proposed railroad is es-
timated at 81, 800, 900. being 100 miles long.
The survey has been made anu stakes
all set, and it is thought that work will
begin in earnest in the early spring next
year.
It is now reported that the much talked
of change in the passenger service of
the Northern Pacific will take place on
October 20, one week from today, when
the double service east of Billings will
be abandoned, but continued as at pres
ent west CT this city. 1t is also stated
that the present local passenger will be
the one taken off east from here, thus
continuing the popular north coast lin
tied train. In all probability the Burling-
ton will change it's time of arrival so as
to reach Billings earlier in the night.
Geo. A. Miller was sued in Justice
Fraser's court Saturday by w. w. Cox
for $500 damages, and the justice rem
dered judgment in favor of the plaintiff

legged that while working for Miller last
May he was set upon and pounded and
beaten by Miller, receiving injuries which
incapacitated him from working ror a
