Murder at GIendfve.

Glendive. March 81. John Moltz, a
man between 30 and 40 years of age

valley at 6 o'clock tonight and gave him.
self up to Sheriff A. e. Aiken, stating he
had killed a man named Duncan Nc
MILAN at Heren's ranch, on Grain creek,
As miles below Glendive.
The only facts obtanable are those set
forth in a statement Motz gave to Act
ing Coroner Thomas F Hagan, before
Sheriff Aiken and Deputy George Tur-
BILE, which reads as follows:
II, John Motz, between the hours of 8
and 10 this morning, to the best of my
kno Wedge, ON March 81, 1900,.,at Heren's
ranch, shot Duncan Mcmillan with one
shot from a 80 80 Marlin rifle. The
trouble arose over a letter to George
Shelton. He snapped a shot gun at me
twice before | shot him, but did not
have the gun on him at the time I shot
him. having dropped it at the gate. To
the best Of my knowledge, when shot,
he was rs yards away from his gun. l
shot at his body. and his back was turn
ed to me at the time"
Both are ranchers. Mcmillan was a
native of Canada and has only been a
resident of Dawson county for the past
year.

The japanese Minister OF Finance has
solved a great mystery. In 1898 a com
mittee composed of representatives of
the Popocratic and Silver Republican"
parties went to Japan for the purpose OF
reporting to the people of the United
States upon the workings of the gold
standard in that country, but somehow
their report was never heard of. Now
the Japanese Minister OF Finance comes
to the front with an elaborate official re-
port in which he says the gold standard
has been of great advantage to all classes
in Japan, which fact may account for
the failure of the self appointed commits
sion of American patriots to find
material with which to report against
the gold standard.

The ACCESSIBILITY and public necessity
for the building of storage reservoirs to

should be impressed upon the attention
of congress by all influence and argu-
ment that can be brought to bear now,

Prior to the adoption of the protective
tariff in the United States the exports
were almost always less than the imports,
and by the time the protective tariff
was established by the republican party
the balance Of trade against the United
States was more than two billions of
dollars, counting from the date of the
adoption of the Constitution. Since the
protective tariff became a permanent
feature al cur laws. however, the balance
of trade in our fasor has been nearly
100000 900, and is increasing every
year, the total balance of trade in our
favor in 1893 and 1899 alone amounting
to more than a billion dollars. Yet there
are few people who will still have the as
surance to tell voters that a protective
tariff will iniure our foreign markets.
