4 TERRIBLE ACCORD,

Seven bleeding, mutilated bodies, some
mangled beyond recognition, five killed
outright and two lowering on the verge
of the grave, disfigured and crippled and
destined to become objects of charity if
they live! This is the record in the
mines of Butte for the past few days.
1t is ar. awful record to contemplate, and
one which challenges the serious consid-
Grafton of all humane people. Day after
day the long funeral professions pass
through the streets of Butte, accom-
panied by bands playing sad dirges for
the dead, and it is not to be wondered at
nal people ask Zach other if something
cannot be done to lessen the frequency
of these terrible disasters.
The risks attendant upon the occupa-
ton of a miner are great under the most
favorable conditions, and no pains and
no reasonable expense ought to be spared
by those in control of mining properties
to protect the limbs and the lives of
those in their employ.

MONTANA 6EREFT.

The public has been told that Governor
Smith can render the state no greater ser.
vice than to go to Washington as a wit
ness in the Clark case.
So far, no one has questioned the mag

ing the state, but few will be willing to
admit that in so doing he has rendered the
greatest possible service to the common

lcaIly SpeaklnS,- TIE StdHUdTO always
"chuckles'' over everything it approves.
Towering above the omnon herd, AZ
the moral mentor Of the community, it
was certainly the duty Of the Standard
to have taken strong grounds against
such a bet, and not defer it's spiritual
awakening until it was compelled to re-
fuse a five hundred dollar courtesy from
the Inter Mountain.
In the cause of justice, the Standard
ought to nave denounced the $780, 900 bet
when it was first posted.
1t was plain to any one that such a
bet would be interpreted by the enate
committee as an inference that the pros
ecution claimed a 'cinch" on the de-
cision.
Naturally, the grave and reverend sem
ators would feel that the public might
say: why does the Anaconda faction
of the democratic party wager 100000 IN
the result. before the testimony for the
defense has been submitted, unless it mas
a sure thing with some of the members of
the committee"
Under such an imputation the COM
mittee would feel that the Inference that
any Of them had been fixed" by the
prosecution must be met by a report
favorable to Clark.
1t is easy to see wherein the $4,000 bet
might inure to the benefit of the de-
PENDANT. by %prejudicing the committee
against the prosecution.
1t was in exceedingly bad taste to bet
on the verdict of the senate committee:
and unquestionably it was the duty of
the Standard to condemn the effort of
it's followers to injure their own cause
by such methods.
It's silence was equivalent to it's APP
prevail. in a matter of such magnitude,
n if any member of that committee
hereafter can more perceptibly toward
the defense the Standard may attribute
it to it's failure-as the newspaper repre-
sentative of the Anaconda faction-to sit
down on a step that seriously embar-
raised the impartial work of a conscien-
tious committee of intelligent and far
sighted Investigators.
No member of that honorable body will
want to have it thrown into his face in
the future that he was the particular
''cinch'' upon which the 500 OO wager
was based.
The information of the Inter Mountain
is to the effect that last night local par
ties attempted to cover the $40. 900 wager,
whereupon it was unceremoniously wiped
off the board, and, like the prestige and
influence Of the Standard, consigned to
oblivion.
Our contemporary. however, fails to
note the withdrawal of the wager as a
step in the direction of moral reform, and
did not exhibit its usual Christian-like
spirit by complimenting the parties who
hauled down the wad after having seen
a higher light!

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

The Anaconda Standard denies that it
'chuckled" over the posting of a bet Of
500 0 in a prominent gambling house
in this city, that Clark would not retain
his seat in the senate.
The Inter Mountain used that word in
q figurative sense only. as the entire par
agraph in which it appeared was written
in that vein.
Fol instance, In one sentence the
Standard is accused of nodding it's head
~approvingly, when everybody knows the
Standard has no head.
In another sentence. 1t is said that
Butte was bled. but it did not mean that
gore actually flowed. or that red and
white corpuscles covered the ground.
The word "chuckles" was used as bet
ter adapted to igurative purposes than
the word approved would have been.
No one will dispute that the Standard
approved of that $4,000 bet.
That paper argues that all who are
not for it's wing of the democracy are
necessarily in favor of the other wins
of that party.
BY the same token. everything which
the Standard does not condemn it neces
sarily approves.
1t did not condemn the wagering O.
$4,000 by some of it's political tactic,
that Clark would be expelled: therefore

FAVORED A CITY P|ANT
WITNESSES WHO APPEARED BE-
FORE CITY HALL AND COURT
HOUSE COMMISSION
CITY CAN SAVE A GREAT DEAL
That Was the Judgment of Experts
Who Were Called Before the
Commission at Its Ses-
sion Yesterday.

The meeting of the joint city hall and
court house commission was held last
evening for the purpose of settling the
question as to heating and lighting the
big building in their charge, but beyond
hearing discussion pro and con little was
done in determining on course.
j. d. Roberts, a contractor; Frank
Knapp, engineer at the Manhattan build
ing; Engineer McGery, of the federal
building, and a number of others were
present and gave statistics and data as
to the great saving accruing from a pri-
vate plant and were enthusiastic in adj
viSing the commission to do their own
heating and lighting.
Mr.. Knapp stated that the saving to
the owners of the Manhattan since put
ting in their own plant was considera BILE
and cited the same in connection with
other owners of Office blocks who had
pit in private plants. Heat, he said
could be made at a cost of 2 cents per
square foot of radiation, while COM
panies engaged in the business charge )
cents IN winter where lighting is in
Guided, the heat costs practically nothing,
as the exhaust can be used for that pu1-
pose. - In summer, when the heat must
be thrown away there would naturally
be increased cost in producing the light
Commissioner Haroick stated that he
did not doubt that with the installation
of an up-to-date Plant a saving could he
made, but the past was a poor criterion
IN which to base such. In 1882 heat
was furnished by a plant owned by the
city, which cost nearly a third more than
that by private contract.
1t was admitted, however that the
plant was not an economical one as much
Of the heat, by reason of the incOmpl4t al
condition of the building, escaped INFO
the open air.
Owing to the limited space in the base
ment of the building Mayor Smith said
it would be impossible to install light
ing plant. Heating might be done, but
there was no room for dynamOs.
The idea of using the Plant for the
proposed new Jail was talked of, but IS
its completion was too far distant it was
not considered
AS a way out of the difficulty the cOun-
ty auditor was instructed to call for bijs
separately for lighting and heating, and
also collectively. In the meantime eX-
perts will be invited to inspect the pres
ent plan of heating, and estimates will
be received from them as to the best
methods and probable cost of making
the plant up to date and more saving en-
fuel and heat.
=. P. Lathrop, president of the Gas
Light company, and George c. Squires
were interested listeners.
