The best interests of the republican
party in Montana demand that there
shall be unity of action among all re-
publicans.

man.
Democrats would like to see all re-
publican employees OF these corporations
disfranchised, but no sensible republican
who desires success for his party will in
dorse that proposition.
Let all republicans support their party
principles. Let them resent and defeat
al corporate diotation should any b at
tempted, but let them stick to the old
party and it's candidates. This is no
time for d~issension and division. 1t is
no place for mining company politics,
though mining companies are the main
stays Of the state and deserve every en-
couragement and protection and though
every man who brings a dollar to Mon

this year is purely political. The repub-
lican party, If united, can win. Beware
of the men who are striving to divide it,!

Tom O'Rourke Puts Up a Big
Fight Talk.
Manager VIII Back Walcott
Against ANY of EN-.
AFTER BIG GUS RUHLIN
Wants a Twenty Round Bout
Purse For Winner.
Corbett Ready to Return and
Settle With His Wife.

New York. Sept 22.-Tom ORourke,
manager of Joe Walcott. the colored hur-
ricane fighter, is so confident that his
protege can defeat any fighter in the
world that he is ready to post forfeit
of 1000 at once to match Walcott to
fight any of the big fellows, preferably
Gus Rubin, and is also willing that the
winner shall take all.
O'Rourke has an idea that Waleott
can defeat Rubin in quicker time than
he can any of the other heavy-weights
and for that reason he is ready to clinch
q match for Walcott with Rubin at any
time to fight a twenty-fOund bout be-
fore the club offering the largest purse
winner to take all, and viii furthermore
make side bet of $1,000 on the result Of
the battle
In speaking of his challenge to. match
Walcott Tom O'Rourke said today:
The challenge issue now to match
Walcott to tight any men in the world
including every heavyweight, Is no
stage bluff. I really think, and am in
fact perfectly confident, that Walcott
can whip any heavyweight and on that
account I am ready to match him to
fight any one of them, the winner TO
take all. will also make side. bet
of $1,000 that he will beat any fighter
that wants to go up against him.
My reasons for thinking that Walcott
can whip them all, is on account Of the.
easy manner in which he put Joe
Choynslxi, who is one of the cleverest
heavy-weights in the business, to sleep
in seven rounds. In picking out Gus
Rubin as Walcott's first opponent do
so because think that his challenge TO
Jim Jeffries is not liable to result in
anything. He can get the chance to earn
some money by fighting Walcott, as
I will agree to bet 81. 900 that Joe can
beat him and also agree that the win
ner take all. Madden should not re-
fuse my offer, for as Rubin was only
recently defeated by Fitzsimmonss
GHn ink na xvQ171d fight
Walcott or any one else in order to keep
before the public. / have consented TO

refuses to fight Walcott / will match
Armstrong against him on the same con-

Uncle Sam TrifIe Slow in PEN
sion Matters.
Allows q Woman's Claim After
Twenty-One Years.
SHE is STILL ALIVE.
At the Same Time Came An
other Check For 500
Which Was Applied For Fifteen
Years Ago-Pensioner Dead.

Kansas City, Kan, Sept. 22-Penslon
Agent Bupgart received two reuittances
from the pension bureau, one of them
being the first payment of a pension of
S. a, month in favor of John r. Sampson,
whose claim was filed three months and
four days ago. The other was a treas
urer's check for 800 in favor of Mrs.
Sadie Brooks, of Roseda1e, whose claim
was filed in 1879. 1t had taken a little
over twenty-one years for this claim to
ind its way to the paymaster's desk.
Not quite so expeditiousIy as Samp
sons claim, but with more. celebrity than
attended the movements of the Brooks
claim, was another treasurer's check for
500 in favor of the heirs of Bird Card
ner, but if his sisters, the heirs to whom
the money is to be paid, drop from heart
disease at the sudden news it will not
be cause for wonder for their check IS
fifteen years behind time.
Both the delinquent pensions were to
colored people, land there is an excuse
for the department being Slow explain
ed Major Bungart. .'I never have such
bother as I have with the co1ored sol
diers' claims I remember one that had

new instances there has been no such
trouble The fact is, that twenty-one

never heard from it until today
NEW PENSION RULING.
A new ruling of the pension bureau is
calculated to head off the filing of more
applications for pensions inasrnuch as
it removes the guarantee which the
agents have heretofore had that they
would get their 10 per cent collection
fee. It has, until now, been the rule in
renting 500, as in the instance of these
two Kansas City cases, to send $50 di-
rect to the claimants and the &c. being
10 per cent, direct to the pension agent.
Now it is ordered that the agent must
look out for himself and make his own
collection. This would be an impossible
task, as no pension office could expect
to keep track of a claim twenty-one
years in order to collect $40. The only
solution now is to have the collection
fee paid in advance and that, the agents
concede, would be scarcely fair inasmuch
as the claim might not be allowed, more
often than not, too, it is said, the claim
ant is not able to pay even the usual 81
fee. The result will be fewer claims
