Helena Must Pay.

San Francisco, Sept. 4.-The city OF
Helena, Mont, will be compelled to pay
a judgment of $31 ,319 that was awarded
to j. II. Mills, receiver Of the Helena
Waterworks company by the circuit
court Of the district OF Montana. The
decision was appealed from TO the Uni
ted States circuit court OF appeals, and
today Judge Morrow affirmed both the
decision and judgment.
In his opinion Judge Morrow said the
objection that the relator does not show
title by assignment not having been
made in the court below could not be
taken here. To hold otherwise would
involve the exercise of original instead of
appellate jurisdiction, which is not per-
mitted to US. We are Of the opinion
that the assessment and levy of the spe-
cial tax was legal. But the city is not
in position to resist the writ Of man
damus in payment upon the judgment.
The amount collected was IN the city
treasury to the credit of the judgment.
and the payment should have been in
accordance to the code Of the state.

OPENS MARYLAND CAMPAIGN
Bryan and Senator Wellington of
Maryland Open the Cam
paiQn in That State.

Cumberland, Sept. 4-One of the most
thrilling scenes in the history OF Ameri-
can politics was witnessed here tonight
when United States Senator Wellington.
once the unchsllenged Republican
leader OF Maryland, stood on the same
platform with Bryan and solemnly re-
nounced his party for its crimes against
liberty and the weak treachery Of the
Mckinley administration.
Three Thousand persons filled the hall
and more than 10000 stood on the out
side cheering other orators.
The power and passion of Senator
Wellington's denupciation OF President
Mckinley for his falsity and weakness
were beyond words to express.
The great multitude roared out it's
greeting to the senator who was great
enough to abandon his party for the
sake OF the republic the patriot who re-
fused to eat his words and give up his
convictions like Senator Hoar.
The spectacle tonight was one worthy
of history, and Senator Wellington's

promises, of the deliberate violation Of
the constitution by the administrations
advisers and Of the swift approach to
despotism, marked out by the acts OF the
responsible leadership of the republican
party stirred his hearers to extraordin-
ary demonstrations.
Mr.. Bryan followed in noble appeal
to patriotic republicans to follow the ex-
ample OF Senator Wellington and be
brave and wise enough to set party ties
aside in the overwhelming crisis which
has come upon the American republic
And when, finally, Mr. Bryan and SEN
ator Wellington locked hands in the
presence of the audiences solemn
union in defense of the republic and
against imperialism multitude leap
ed to it's feet and shrieked again and

complications which arose out OF the

divorce laws, Some years ago Mrs.
Ruby procured d divorce from Mr.. Ru-
by in the probate court. She then
married williams and they lived hap
PLY together for two years. Al the
end of that time IL was decided by the
supreme court that the probate judges
had no jurisdiction In divorce cases
aud that al DEGREES issued by them
were null and void. Mr.. and Mrs.
williams at once separated and she
brought suit in the district court for a
divorce fran her former husband. In
due time this WAS granted, aud, after
the lawful time had elapsed, she was
married again to Williams,
