De 1 OF tue IOt anu stuu W uiCu IuoS
have been publishing since the begin
ing Of the b xer troubles in China, If
The latest grapevine cabIegrams from
that country respecting the safety OF
Minister enger are true. The horrible
account given a short time since by the
yellow journals Of New York, of the
murder of Minister Conger and the
indignities offeIed the women OF the
Legation, read like q sterotyIed dis
patch from the south, giving the details
of dastardly assault upon besnti-
full white lady" by repu siVe looking
and big burly Negro wretch" 1t now
seems that Secretary Hays tracer sent
through the cd Offices Of Mr.. WI the
Chinese Minister at Washington with
q view to acertsining the real facts as
to the fate Of the Minister, stamps the
word LIAR upon the alabsster brows Of
the Imaginative quill drivers of the
seusatioI al pre- SIS, and makes them eli

dated order Of national preva-icators.
white newspaper men in the United
States are the most artistic and pictu
resque lla1s that ever furnished padding
for a yellow j urnal. In the account
of the massacre? at Pekin these artistic
gentlemen not only wrote thrilling
stories of Chinese bsrbarities there en-
acted, but they seem to have had their
artists along with them to make sket-
ches Of the various scenes described
with great particularly and intelli-
gence, which are reproduced in their
journals of news and opinion and
pslmed of as actual ties. What pity
that enterprise must need to prostitute
itself so low In order to command at
tention. The dispatch from Minis ter
Conger received by the State Depart.
ment on Ju'y 20, will seriously affect
the credibility of these enterprising
news gsthere1s-if true.
Soon after the PhiladelEhia Conven.
tion adjourned, one Of these newspaper
fakers sent out q story which was
widely published to the sffect that two
prominent men in Utah, former dem.
ocrsts, had prospered SO we'll during
the three years Of McKinley's admin.
istrat On that they had de,ided to vote
for hin this year and that as guaran
tee Of their good faith, they had each
sent Mr.. Hanna check for $50 900 fJr

sounded nice, and looked nice in print,
but there was not word Of truth in
the entire paragraph. MI Heber III.
Wells, one Of the gentlemen referred
10 in the dispatch, in personal letter
to the writer under date, July II, 1900,
says: THE published statement that 1
have given $4,000 to the republican
campaign fund is untrue. beg to in

concoct ana disseminate lies about
their own race, without blushing, but
they b. come bolder and more brazen
when they write about the Negro. The

THEY CANNOT
SECURE BONDS
TWO SWEDISH GENTLEMEN WHO
ARE BOOKED TO REMAIN
IN JAIL.
BOTH ARE SHORT
on FRIENDS AND CASH.
Davis Shot Olson, but the Latter De-
clines to Prosecute
His Friend.

Henry Davis and Louis Olson, the two
Swedish gentlemen who became involved
in a quarrel near Divide about six weeks
ago, are both in the county Jail. the for
mer for having; o the other, and The
latter for getting shot and then request
ing that Davis be not prosecuted. Davis
bond has been fixed at $1,000 by Justice
Nichols. and Olson can secure his re-
lease if he digs up $500 inc places it in
the hands of the court. Neither Of them
has a scent piece, and it is therefore
likely that they will spend the balance
of the year in Jail, for they are just as
short On friends as they are on cash.
On the. witness stand Olson said he
knew Davis would not have shot him had
he not been drinking, Us they had al
ways been good friends. Just prior to
the shooting both had drank consider
able liquor and each was armed with a
revolver. When the argument which led
up to the shooting reached it's height
Olson, according to the testimony of
Davis. told Davis to pull his sun and
Davis complied. the resntt being. that
Olson caught two bullets, one of Which
struck him on the side of the head and
the other entered his back.

RELATIVE TO REGISTRATION.
County Attorney Connolly's Instruc-
tons to Registry Agents.

County Attorney Connolly yesterday
submitted to the clerk of the board of
county commissioners some opinions on
the matter of registration in response
to requests made by registry agents for
instructions. The opinions are as fol-
lows:
/. Any person offering to register.
whose father has been duly ~naturalized
under the laws of the United States, such
person being under the age of twenty
one years at the time of the naturaliza-
ton of his parent, shall be considered a
citizen of the United States. 1t is not
requisite that the applicant shall have
with him the naturalization papers of
his father, or a certified copy thereof. I
do not think that the law contemplates
this.
Section 1910 of the political code pro-
vides that the registry agent must ques-
ton the applicant generally, under oath,
as to his qualifications as ar e~1ector, and,
if satisfied, must enter his name in the
register; but if the registry agent is not
fully satisfied from the of the
applicant, under oath, or If the applicant
he challenged by a qualified voter of the
county, and the grounds of the challenge
are distinctly stated, the registry agent
must then require the applicant to an
swer truly, under oath or affirmation,
certain questions enumerated In said Sec
ton. If these questions are answered.

election laws.
2. Regarding the residence of the cleo
tor: The intention of the elector governs
largely in this matter. If a person leaves
the state of Montana with the intention
Of temporarily sojourning elsewhere, he
may return to the state and register and
vote at his place of residence In the state,
providing he has not voted in n other
state during his absence. If the elector
removes to another state with the inten-
ton of making that state his residence,
he loses his residence in this state. II
a person remove to another state with
the intention Of remaining in such state
for an indefinite length of time and
adopts that place as a residence, he loses
his residence in the state Of Montana,
Notwithstanding he entertained an inten-
ton of returning at some time in the fu-
ture. What would be an indefinite times

son may leave the state n be gone for
over a year, or even two years, and still
not lose his residence. These are matters
that must be decided by the registry
agents, who are to be governed by the
sworn testimony of the applicant as to
his intentions. A man of family is al
ways presumed to lave his residence in
the place where his family resides, UNI
less he take up his residence in another
place with the intention of remaining.

which adjoins the Spectator mine. In

the Ticon and has made underground
openings, as he is informed and believes,
from the Ticon into the Spectator inc

II the time to begin the education Of
a boy should commence at the birth Of
his grandparents. ais has been said,
the time Tor the selection OF breeding
animals should begin equally early,
declares The American Cultivator.
Herein lies the value of a pedigree for
ell farm stock, but 1t should be d
broken, not only in the line Of descent,
but in the possession Of those qualities
desired in the future animal. a neglect
to conform with this requirement has
caused ONE to lose faith In the i'm
p~ortance Of hereditary influence.
There are black sheep In every 1ock',
is in old saying, and lie one desires
white lambs IT is not well to accept
the black sheep TO produce them from,
no matter how white Its ancestors may
have been. This is equally true in
breeding any animals for special pur-
poses. II d Is 0 true to the char
acteristics Of the breed. not the bluest
OF blood should lead to its preserya-
tion to perpetnate the breed.

Hungarian Hay.

Please allow me space to describe my
experience in raising Hungarian hay
and using it, says Thomas Hugh In
The Breeders Gazette. I am a breed.
er Of both sheep and cattle of good
strains, which is the first requisite OF
success on the farm, and the next step
is without doubt to have good forage.
Grain will keep up a good condition of
flesh In either sheep or cattle, but too
much will cause sheep to lose their
feeces and cheek the flow Of milk
from cows. What is wanted is a for
age that lis fat producing, but not SO
heating as to have the bad effects so
characteristic Of corn. / am not de-
nouncing corn fodder. l feed it ex-
tensively each year.
In Hungarian hay I find the best
combination of these two conditions.
For milk cows there is nothing better,
and when we consider the abundant
yield there is no ground for complaint
on the score Of expense. From six
acres Of the poorest land on my farm
1 have harvested 10 large loads of this
hay. 1t is not coarse like millet hay,
but owing to its nature and an abun-
dant allowance Of seed the hay Is fine
and free from weeds. l sowed three
pecks on well pulYerized land and
worked the seed thoroughly into the
soil. ] consider the best time to SOW
Hungarian seed is from May is to
June 10, and from three pecks to one
bushel of seed soWn per acre the best
results will accrue.
