CLARK DEFEATS MARCUS DAILY.
Returns From Montana Indicate That
the Senator Vyill be Vindicated..


Eelena, Mont, June 1s.-All the
counties have now held primaries or
county conventions for the selection of
delegates to the democratic state con-
vention which meets in Butte on We'd
nesday. The fight has been very keen
between Senator Clark, who has beeh
seeking a vindication. and Marcus DAILY,
who has conducted the opposition.
The figures conceded by both sides
give Clark 261 delegates and Daily 217,
with Granite county's thirteen in
doubt. Silver county will have con-
test, the delegates from the county be
ing Dalyites, and the Clark, contestants
will charge fraud and coercion.
IL the Clark men are seated from this
county, as seems likely, he will have
an overwhelming majority. There is
considerable talk of a bolt in the
state convention and a contest at Kan
sas City.

Captain Hans Miron, who lost his
life at his post of duty on the burning
Saalc at IIoboken, was fond of telling
of his early Introduction to the stern
realities of his chosen career. He had
but just come on board the schooner
where as cabin boy he was to serve his
apprenticeship to the sea and was still
staring about him with boyish interest
and Inconsistencies when the skipper
approached and ordered him to assist
in washing down the deck.
He put down his bundle and started
awkwardly to do so, when a second
order. accompanied by emphatic ex-
pletivcs, was given him to take off his
shoes and stockings. He was perfectly
willing to oblige, but at home he had
not been permitted to wet his feet.
No" he answered innocently, with an
engaging smile. 81 should not mind,
but my mother does not allow it"
The skipper was a rough old sea dog
who did not appreciate obedience I'M
less it was rendered to himself, and his
reply was stunning blow that flung
the boy across the deck but after
that" Captain Miron would say, with a
great laugh and not a shadow of re-
sentiment. Il knew who was captain Of
that schooner, and it was not my
mother"

At the time of Colonel Cody's advent
into the capital of Germany the old
Emperor William was entertaining
there three kings of smaller Germanic
powers. The royal gentlemen We're
very much interested in the Buffalo
Bill exhibitions, and Colonel Cody was
the recipient of many favors from thei
emperor himself. one feature of the
performance was the exhibition of the
antiquated Dcadwood coach containing
passengers who are attacked by In
dams and finally rescued by cowboys.
The kaiser asked to be allowed to
ride in this vehicle with his royal
guests and to participate in this inter-
esting experience. The request was of,
course granted, and when the coach
was furiously assailed by bowling In
dams its inmates were as usual saved
by gallant cowboys.
After it was over and as the royal
party were descending from the coach
the emperor remarked:
Colonel Cody, do not suppose this
is the first time that you have ever held
four kings"
"No, your majesty" returned the
quick witted scout, but this is the first
time l ever held four kings and royal
joker at the same time!'-San Francis

Stories of John sherman.

To his aid in his political life John
Sherman brought a nature instinctively
methodical and an unhinching probity.
He saw to it that the public moneys
were not squandered or used for dis
honest purposes. A claim for $1,000
600 was once brought to him for his
signature. 1t had been regularly al
lowed, but it was illegal, and he re-
fused to sign.
ut has been allowed" insisted the
claimants attorney, land you must
sign It,"
Il will not" repeated Mr.. Sherman,
and he did not. He would have resign
ed he afterward coniided to a friend,
had it been required of him sooner that
even seem to sanction fraud. Neither
would he permit Irregularities. The
chief of Il bureau one day came to him
for an order to pay for some machin-
cry.
HAS it been advertised?" asked the
secretary.
mo" said the chief, but there are
only two places where it can be made,
and we are accustomed to get their
bids and contract with the lowest"
But" said the secretary, 1.-The law
says it must be advertised"
at least this may pass, for 1t Is
made, and we need it,"
Il cannot help that. The law says 1t
must be advertised. and advertised it
must be-" And advertised it was at a

they were carried.
Senator Harris, of Kansas, said
of one of the bills which Boss
Hanna has slated to go through
at this session of Congress-:
"There is much opposition in the
West to the Ship Subsidy bill.
If the ship yards are so prosper
Gus as we are led to believe,
there is no need for them to re
ceive subsidies. In any event
the farmers of the West object to
being taxed for the support of the
shipping interests
At the last session of Congress-,
the Republicans would have been
entirely satisfied to increase the
regular army to 100, 600 men,
but now lot of them are seriously
talking about making the army
bill which they Intend putting
through at this session, provide
for $50, 900 men or more. The re.
election of MIR. Mckinley and the
election of a big majority in the
next House seems to have turned
the heads of many Republicans,
and the leaders of that party are
going to have hard job to keep
them from going beyond all
bounds in the legislation at this
session.

The word artistic" has been so mis-
applied that the majority of people sup
pose it means something rather disor-
derby and haphazard How often liter
hture gives us the prim, precise maiden
aunt, with her narrow, intense love of
exact outline, and the art loving niece,
all on fire with raptures over color
harmonies' and contempt for every
thing which is not picturesque Let us
give our sympathy, however, to the de-
rided aunt Craze for color is a lower
degree of the sense of beauty than ap-
probation of symmetrical arrangement.
Sculpture is a finer achievement of the
intellect than painting. Savages and
ignorant children can take pleasure in
color display, but only an educated
mind is moved through effects of form.
