GOOD WORK
ON F|TEMFN
SUTToN'S THEATRE NARROW
ESCAPE.

Sutton's theater had a narrow escape
from fire at 2:40 o'clock this morning,
and what might ave been a serious con-
fagration was averted by the bravery of
the fire boys.
The fire was in the basement of the
building, and some one, noticing dense
volumes Of smoke issuing from there,
turned in an alarm from Box 81. When
the fire department put in an appearance
on the scene 1t looked as though the big
building was doomed, for it appeared
suicidal for any one to go into the smoke
of the basement.
Chief Sanger and his men. however,
die not hesitate, but, dragging the hose
In after them, We're soon lost to view in
the smoke.
The flames were attacking a basement
partition and a sort Of a half floor just
below the floor of the theater when the
firemen reached that point. Before the
fire could attack the theater floor 1t was
under control. Had a delay Of three or
four minutes occurred there would have
been a wonderful difference in the vol
ume of the flames, and the chances are
that they could not have been controlled.

sised that when this test was applied to
all the candidates it would be found that
the republican ticket lowered far above
that of the fusionists.
1.-The paramount issue in this CAM
paign,' he asseverated, SIS whether or
not the fair name of the state shall be
redeemed. 1t is a lamentable truth that
today we bear a bad reputation through
out the country. Every man who loves
his home and is jealous of tn, reputa-
ton of Montana should go to the polls
and record his vote against every cam
didate who is connected with the party
that stands convicted before the bar OF
the nation"
Governor Richards was generously ap-
plauded when he took his seat, as was
L Bailey Lee the next speaker, on his
advancing to the speakers table. The
remarks of Mr.. Lee were mostly devoted
to F. Augustus Eeinze and the speech
ne recently made at the Auditorium.
The speaker pointed out that Heinze had
tried to break into the convention at
Helena which he has since denounced
as being under corporate control; that
before the decision of the convention
was announced he and his ~lieutenants
were o%utspoken in their declaration that
they We're republicans and would con-
tinue to be republicans regardless of
what the decision might be. Since. his
failure to procure seats for his delega-
ton Heinze had done everything in his
power to disrupt the party and is now
assidiously at work in behalf of the enc
mics of the republican party.
Amy man proved guilty Of such
~treachery is unworthy to be regarded as
the leader of any party or any faction
declared Lee. I'm his speech at the
Auditorium he said that he had money
enough to leave this state whenever he
feels like it. He would doubtless take
the state with him if he could, but it
happens that he can't. I regret to say in
conclusion that Mr.. Heinze. in street
p~arlance, is a bad actor"

introduced to the audience and made
short speeches on local issues, the cart.

At the conclusion of the meeting three
rousing cheers were given for the party
and it's candidates. Afterward the
speakers and candidates assembled at
the Colorado smelter boarding house.

The fire was caused by the careless
throwing of hot ashes on the cellar floor,
and Mr.. Sutton says that he has dis
charged fully twenty men for this very
thing. AS it is, the damage is nominal,
but every room in the house has a de-
cidedly unpleasant, smoky smell that
will not wear away for several days.

To Get Rid of the Democrats.

A special from South McAlester
says: Republicans hungry for Of
fee have undertaken to decrease a
number of democrats holding po-
sitions under the Dawes commits
sion. From a partisan standpoint,
the distribution of patronage has
been anything but, pleasing to the
republicans, who have seen good
salaries drawn by democrats who
have held on ever since the Cleye-
land administration. Lately a
complaint was made by a person
familiar with the conditions and all
theIfacts laid before politicians who
has influence in Washington. 1t
is said the remonstrance has al
ready borne truit, and that nurl-
Der of democratic employs will be
dropped from time to time during
the next two months.

ENGLAND is now charging Rus

that she is trying to stand in with
Prince Tuan for her own benefit.
The charge might be more reason
able if the Russians were not fight

sion of Siberia. The cZar would
not form an alliance which requires
a war with his alley TO mask it.

.dQtAT SLAUGHTER Or (Hlhta
Troops are. Victorious Two Thous-
and cinnamon Killed and Seven
teen Guns Captured-Chinese
Fought with Desperation.

CSt. Petersburg, July 21.-The
Chinese who attacked Blagove-
stichensk concentrated on the
right bank of the Amur river,
have been severely routed at the
village of Sakhalin, which was
burned by the shells from the
Russian guns. The Chinese
town of Aigun has been partly
destroyed. The Russians have
occupied the importantdefensive
positions on the right bank of
the river, driving the Chinese
out of them. 1t appears that
the Chinese we're quite taken by
surprise. They considered them
selves masters of Blagovestich-
ensk, and never expected an at
tack from the Russians both
from the rear and front. But
the Cars troops carried out the
operations with great brilliancy,
killing 1000 Chinese and captur-
ing seventeen guns, at the same
time their own losses being in
considerable.
1t was on theEmorning of the
10th that Gen. Gribsky, having
received reinforcements, opened
| a fierce cannon and rifle fire.
Toward the evening the Russian
shells set fire to the Chinese
village of Sakhalin. After
prolonged conflict the enemy's
artillery fire slackened and they
commenced to retire. The duel
of the guns went on more or less
until z o'clock in the evening.
More Chinese troops having now
arrived, Gen. Grlbsky saw the
necessity of reoccupying Aiguu,
and he concentrated a portion Of
his force for that purpose
There were about 1000 Chinese
in the village, with some artil
lery.G The Russian troops ad
vanced from the direction of the
town of Nismennaja and com
menced the attack. The Chi
nese offered stout resistance
and massed forces in large
bodies at various points. Blu
today news has been received
that the Russians have occupied
Aigun, where a few days agC
the Chinese commander, acting
on a forged order in the uam'
of the empress, issued by Prince
Tuan, declared war against Rus
sia.

THE DEAR OLD FARM.

49,
Pm again back ter tn dear ole farm,
The home loved boy.
Where didn't know sorrer, didn't know grief,
IN didn't know nothin1but joy;
To tn dear ole house where tn trumpet vine
Creeps In at tn open door,
N tn sunbeams peep thro' tn chinks N the logs
IN dance on tn kitchen floor.
To tn ferred fields m th' medder brook
IN tn skies g bright m blue,
IN th' ole mill pond by the stuI,bIe field.
IN tn dreamy hay field, too;
IN tn tinkle of tn COW bells
A soundn, sweet N low,
I'm a-goin to hear 'em onct again,
Ez did N tn long ago.
wonder II th' BARNS a-standin'
IN th' very self same spot,
IN th' cows a-watin' g impatient like
Ter be turned into tn lot;
IN 1 wonder IL the milkmaid g a-singin'
Err song that 's soft N low,
Ez she tends tn cows ter tn pasture
Ez she did onct long ago.
M wonder II mothers a-sittin'
On th' porch ez she uster do,
A-waitin' fer us N tn twilight,
Till evenin' chores through;
IN tn winter apples a-sizzn
IN tn hearth of tn old fireplace,
IN father a-lookin' and listenin'
With smile n his wrinkled face.
But lswl what's TIL use ter wonder?.
It's all been changed, know,
Fer father an mothers both been laid
IN tn churchyard long ago;
IN strangers hev took the dear ole place
N cut down th dear ole trees
N there amt tinkle o. bells
A-sweIliu' on th' breeze.
But like ter dream of th' ole farm,

PROFANITY.

There is too much profanity If il
were not sinful it would be foolish and
degrading. The habit is in evidence
everywhere, but predominates with
men of limited vocabulary. A few set
phrases, a few dozen commonplace
words, a good supply of profanity and
you have some mems entire stock of
! the vernacular. 1t is the spice of their
/ limited speech. It emphasizes their dis
regard for divinity and calls attention
to their own vulgarity, 1t puts the
| gentleman and the muleteer on the
same level, and puts the mule above
| them both. Men, women and children
practice it-some make up in volume
what others give in kind. The changes
are rung on it on every occasion. and
in a thousand ways / is the substitute
for every adjective, and qualities every
noun. 1t describes virtue as we'll as
sion, from widest joy to deepest sor-
row. 1t ought to be stopped. AS a
folly it is bad enough and as vulgarity
it is disgraceful, but it is something
more than folly and vulgarity-it is a
sin, says a writer in the Catholic Uni
verse.
There is a charm in the names of
those we love, there is something sacred
in the memory of them. If this is true
of earthly names, it should be more
true of the name of God. If men resent
insult to the name of a mother or sis
ter, the name that is above every name
should be held in Oenediction. There
is a certain degree of manliness de-
manded of every man by the very fact
of his religion. Christ was God, and
deserves the honor due TO God, but He
was also man, and among men he was
the nobleGt and the best In word as
we'll as in deed, His life was without re-
proach. He was above meanneSs and
above everything that de-
means men. His life is the model for
ours. His love of His Mother, His fidel-
ity to friends, His kindness to all were
exemplified above all in His speech To
make His name a by-word-to employ
it to emphasize our resentment or quail
ify our fmprecations is a dissertation. |
1t demeans and dishonors His name. /,
and invites attention to our own irrev-
erence and ingratitude 1t proves that
he greatest and best The world has ever
witnessed has failed to impress us.

BoERs NOT CULTURED"

Citizens cf this city Of English OF
Scotch birth or extraction held a meet
ing in the Central Music Hall last
week, in which they endeavored to sat
] iGfy themselves and all who cared to
listen to them that England is entirely
in the right in her present war and
! that the Beers are a very had lot in
deed, observes the Chicago New World.
The main thing they were able to bring
against the Beers was that they were
dirty and that they were not cultured >
As to being dirty, it may perhaps be
true that the Boer farmers are not SO
much addicted to taking cold baths in
the morning as the members of the
upper ten in England, though we do
not know that even so much is true.
But if they are dirty and untidy in the
matter of their houses and their cloth
ing. they must be very different indeed.
from the Dutch who stayed at home in
Holland. But it is said that they are
not cultured; they do not write books;
they do not even read books, except
the Bible; they do not paint pictures.
and they hardly know what. art is. But
are there not a great many other things
which these Beers do not do? They do
not sell their souls for gold like SO
many of the cultured people; they do
not work their women in factories or
cweatshops at starvation wages until
health and the pride of womanhood are
alike destroyed. If they have not the
high intellectual culture which a small
fraction of the population has in other
countries. they have not the degrade
ton of money-making slavery which,
in one way or other, drags down the
great majority of the people in those
countries. In choosing the life which
they have chosen the Beers have acted
and advisedIy What they
ask now is to be allowed to lead their
simple pastoral life in peace, and not
to have the curses with the blessings
Of the higher civilization" forced on
them at the lannon's mouth.
