alarmist, but the people should know
what is going on about them.
There is no sentiment, no politics,
in all this so far as the trust is con-
cerncd. It cares not whether Mon-
tana is republican or democratic, so
long as there is placed above the stars
and stripes on its state house and
and court houses the colors of the AMI
algamated Copper trust. It is merely
matter Of business with the money
kings Of Wall street, mere matter OF
dollars and cents-nothing more nor
less, and the people should be alive to
the issue.
The Amalgamated Copper Trust is
about to issue a morning daily news
paper IN Helena, also one in Great
Falls, and an evening daily in Butte.
These are, of course, for the purpose
of Influencing public opinion in favor
OF the trust Let no man imagine
that this problem is not now before
the people of Montana forpresent solu
ton. It is here and must be met.
Shall the Anlalgamated Copper
Trust of New York control and dom
mate the affairs of Montana through
one political party or the other? Shal
this great trust control Our state off
ces, our legislature and our courts, an,
elect two United States senators t
represent not the people of Montana
but the copper trust, in the senate o
the United States?

This one left through the south end of
the Bitter Root. and is supposed to be
in the vicinity of Dillon. Two 9TH

way to the eastern part of the state
after these two, who are held in GUS

From Butte Miner.
Its just simply awful-this condition
of the water supply in some of the pop
ulous districts of Montana and the
consequent temptation to stronger
rather weaker drinks. Butte has been
made the butt of so many ill-natured
and castle remarks on the subject of
its water supply that it feels under the
disagreeable necessity of calling at
tention to the fact that there are others
For instance the Great Falls Trib-
une is complaining that the quality of
the water furnished that place is bad.

Thursday afternoon Gen. H. King White, as attorney for Henry l.

The commissioners granted the request and few min- utes afterw ards Messrs. w. II Lang ford, c. k.

This W as the first session of the board that Ferd Havis. the Republican commis. sionet. attended since his appoint m9nt.
 Joe Plkington -ith several friends were present. George Carr, N ho re gently east Pilklngton aside, was there. Gen, White, Phillips attor- ney, WAS also present and few members of the famous "court house ring witt essed the count. The e0mmiss oners did not refuse admit tance to any one, but on the other hand, conducted the. count in the presence of all the spectators who expressed a desire to witness it.
 After the recount was mad3 the commissions found the following fac s as to the constab e's race There were 73 votes cast in the whole precinct. The votes as returned by the judges gave Pilkington 3l and Phillips 13. while 2S ballots were re- turned as irl egular and not counted because the entire ticket was scratch ed, except as to the constable, and not bt cause they had been wrongly folded, as stated by a city paper One ballot of the 45 not thrown out WAS not voted as 70 constable. 0i a recount of tn 2S ballots thrown out by the judg F. it vas found thaf phillre had E of them and Pilking- ton 1.

CRAZY MARY MOVED
From the County Jail to the State
 Insane Asylum.

Crazy Mary Williams, who has for several months been incareerated in d cell at the Jefferson county jail, was this morning carried to the state insane asylum. She is the ne gro woman N ho has for months, both night and day, disturbed the people living in the vicinity of the county j iii by her nnearthly screams and the terrible language that es- eaped from her mouth She is as crazy as they are found and the m ost foul-mouthed female ever incarcerat- ed in the jail building. Sue would never permit herself to be caught with clothing on, pulling all her gar ments to shleds.
 Her cell was possessed of 8 win dow which opened on the alley, but she cared not, sitting all day as nak- ed as rat in tie window. Jailor Davis is greatly feioiced over her removal to Little Rock as she was the blackest "white elephant" that he ever had on his hands
 Sheriff Mccoy and an old negro woman named Georgia Walker car ried Mary to Little Rock. They will doubtless have d hard time with her in the asylum for she is q terror.
 Mrs. W. H. Langford and son. Jack. left yesterday afternoon for Yellowstone National Park, where they will soiourn for q few months They were accompanied as far as St Louis by MT. Langfor l. who goes 10 the Cyclone City on business.

Pilkington's name was printed and Phillips name was written on these ballots. Tae most of the ballots containing Phillips name seemed to hays been written by the same per- son.
 When the count was made by the judges ill Washington township last Wednesday. and pilkington seeh to be the victor. Anderson, the Repubi- can judge, refused to sign the
 book. That had no legal effect on the vote, however, as the maiorIt J usually rules. and Campbell and Bates, the two Democratic judges, had already signed the book.
 Gen. White, the attorney for Phil lips, says the count made by the commissioners Thursday was as fair and unpreiudiced as could have been wished for and in that direction he has no kick to register. He will, however, today file contest papers in the constable's race, believing that Phillips can prove that the thirteen votes thrown out by the judges were intended for him. by giving the personal state ments of the men who voted them.
