A F0RETASTE OF next TUESDAY,
He Says Clark and Henze Threatened to Reduce Wages
Unless He Withdrew From the La
Dor Ticket.

Missoula, Oct. 3O-The Clark peo-
pie have had foretaste of the kind
of "vindication" that awaits them at
the polls next Tuesday. 1t was the
reputation, bodily and practical
ly unanimously of Judson A. Fergu-
son, late leader of the labor party,
who sold out to Clark and withdrew
from the head of the labor ticket
where he had been put by his trust
ing friends. The occasion of the
kicking out of Ferguson was large
ly attended meeting Of the Federal
Union, No. 43. Ferguson has been
vice-president of this union and a few
days ago, since his betrayal, a reso-
luton calling for his resignation was
proposed. The latter was referred to
a committee, but in the meantime Fer
guson sent in his resignation. He ap-

Who Committed Suicide in Butte \
Few Days Ago-The Hus-
bands Story.

Butte Oct. 3O.-At the inquest held
today on the body of Mrs. John E.
Adams, who died from the effects of
poison self-administered, few new de-
yelopments were brought out. The
testimony, however, is interesting in
asmuch as a sensational suit for $l5,-
600 damages Tor alternating the af-
fections of the woman by prominent
physician is closely connected with
the tragedy.
John E. Adams, husband, said that
he and his wife had had more or
less trouble recently, and that about
week ago they separated, he going
70 leaaeIville, and sne TO the house
where sne died. In substance, the
husbands testimony was: Il saw my
wife about 8 O'Clock Sunday evening
1T her room. She then told me that
Dr. Lobb had advised her to either
leave the country Or cestroy herself
she did not seem to be excited, anu
she did not say that sne intended to
take poison. But she did intimate that
she did propose to do something, and
her manner aroused my suspicious. l
advanced to her side and took from
ner pocket some powders, and as soon
as looked at them felt that all was
not well, and SO l straightway went
down to Mr.. Broderson's office in Main
street. He is my attorney. found
no one ip the Office, and l started
back up town again. l met Mr.. Ny
er, who, upon seeing me, said: Jack,
your wife has taken poison. Go af-
ter doctor, quick" had not been
away from the house 10 minutes and
when returned l found them walk
ing her up and down the ROOM Now,
DR.. Lobb and my wire had been on
too friendly terms. My wife saiu:
John, | have done wrong, and | am
sorry She told me the powders |
took from her were given to her by
Or. uoDb. DR.. Lobb was called to
testify, and he emphatlcally denied
chat he had given the woman any
poison or advised as to her marital
luties.

pie that unless he (Ferguson) with.
drew from the labor ticket, the Clark
and Heinze mines in Butte would re-
duce wages to $3.50 a cay, and to
avert such calamity Ferguson had
withdrawn. When Ferguson had
concluded his little song he took ur
his overcoat and proceeded to leave
the han. Members OF the union
Kissed and jeered him, and when he
left the room it was with crestfa,,en
and humiliated air.
The resignation matter was then
taken up. One or two members cot
up to defend Ferguson, but they
were howled down by the indignant
and outraged labor men ana they
gave up the effort. The resignation
was then accepted by vote o. G; te
2, and if that is the "vinG icstion'
that Ferguson got, what sort of win
dication" will the arch booller him
self get next Tuesday? fred Poe, a
Clark worker who had been secre.
tary of the union, also resigned to
night and his resignation will doubt
less be accepted tomorrow, after the
investigating committee finds that his
books are all right.

SEARCHING FOR BODIES.
Full Extent of the New York Explo-
sion Not Yet Known.

New York, Oct. 30.-All night long
several hundred lahore were at work
among the ruins caused by the explo-
sion yesterday at the Tarrant build
ing. No bodies were recovered, and
it sbelieved that none will bo re
covered for another twelve hours at
least. That there are bodies in the
ruins there can be no doubt, but it is
not believed that the list of dead win
exceed thirty. One hundred and
twelve persons were received at l.4e
hospitals, and of this number, a score
were discharged after their wounds
had bee dressed. The list of miss
ing was large at first, but many of
those supposed to have been buried
in the ruins have been accounted for,
and as far as known not more than
twenty-five persons are missing this
morning. Property loss is variously
estimated at from $1,500,00O to $2,-
100000. Chemicals probably entered
into the origin of the fire. The first
smoke that was seen was dense and
very black. This changed into what
appeared to be light vapor. Then
began a series of minor explosions,
not heavy enough to disturb persons
in the street further than to warn
them of d too near approach. Sud
denly an explosion of much greater
force urove glass from windows,
showering it upon tn firemen and po-
licemen, and the crowds of people who
ha. gathered in the streets. This
was followed almost Immediately by
another explosion of tar greater in
tensity that worked much destruc-
tions. There were perhaps intervals
of two minutes, when there came a
lnird explosion more violent than that
which had precedec, and which
brought the buildings on both sides
of Warren street in that block tumb-
ling down sthough they were built
of pasteboard. All was Immediately
in panic Ior blocks in every direction.
Those who were we'll acquainted in
the neighborhood looked upon the
Tarrant Company's establishment as
menace. They saw chemicals car
ried into the building In great guam
titles for weeks, filled with fear, they
fled with those thousands of idle spec
tators who were running in every di-
rection to escape danger, the exact
nature of which hey did not know.

as already told warrants are to be

that fifty special deputy sheriffs, in
addition to the regular force will make
arrests. The county attorneys office
aas received information to the ef-
tect that seven men who registered
gave one particular room in Curtis
block as their residence, and when
investigation was made it was found
that the room was occupied by an
old woman and no one else. Among
those to be arrested are these seven
men. If any of the alleged suspects

that quite number of persons have

LOOKS LIKE MURDER.
Overton's Death Believed To Be the
Work of Hoboes.

Missoula, Oct. 30.-1t is now be-
lieved that the death of Overton, the
man from Burke, Idano, who was killed
by light engine near Desmet, few
nights ago, was not entirely acci-
dental. At the inquest today it de-
veloped that Overton, while in this
city had exhibited large sum of
money and it is supposed that among
those who saw the roll were desper-
ate hoboes who followed Overton to
the point where he was killed. At that
place, it is surmised, the hoboes
sprang upon Overton and delivered
"a stunning blow with a rock or club,
and after robbing him laid the body
on the track for the passing train to
finish the work they had begun. 1t
will be remembered that as tie en-
gine approached Overton he appeared
to be sitting upright, but it is now
believed that it was the whistle of
the locomotive that woke him out of
his stupor, and that he did not have
his wits sufficiently about him to real
ize his danger and get out of the way.
The fact that Overton had but few
dollars upon his person when the
body was found lends color to the
theory here outlined.

Butte, Oct. 30.-W. M. Neagle was
tried in Justice Nichols court this af-
ternoon on a charge of advising men
to register illegally. At the conclu-
sion of the hearing, decision was re
served until tomorrow morning. The
principal witness against Neagle is A.
L. Stone, who is being held on a
charge of illegal registration. Some
etters that are alleged to have passed
between Neagle and Stone were in
troduced as evidence. One was a
note given Stone to be presented to
Thomas Kilgallon, introducing Stone
as Mr.. Edwards, and requesting that
he, Stone be put to work if there was
any work for him to do. When
Nagle was arrested he had on his
person an affidavit that had been
prepared for Stone to sign, and this
document, too, was placed in evi-
dence. The contents of the docu-
ment related to business between
otone and Neagle. The latter desired
o exonerated from all participation
n the illegal registration business.
IRE affidavit had been formulated
though e third person named Quig-
ey, who is alleged to have told Stone
hat ii he would sign the affidavit
Neag.e would see to it that he was
;:ea!ed CT the charge against him.
Stone said Neagle nad not advised
i'm to register illegally. He further
a:d he had registered four times; that
,ome one, whom he did not know, had
.ivised him to register illegally and
told him there was money in it; that
he had spoken to Neagle about it and
the latter had said it was all right
to go ahead and register. H. M. Sis
cot, one of the jailors at the county
jail, identified the letters found on
he two prisoners, Stone and Neagle.
At the conclusion OF the states side
the defense moved for a dismissal,
on the ground that no direct evidence
had been introduced to show positive
guilt of the defendant. The judge
overruled the motions, and Neagle
took the stand in his own behalf. He
said that while standing on the street
corner Stone had approached him
and shown him piece of paper, say
ing, as he did so, that he had regis
tered four times and intended to reg
lister five more; that he had been reg

Following is the address OF Miss
Anderson:
FRIENDSHIP.
Friendship is the abstract of the noblest
flame;
IT'S love refined and purged from all its
dross,
'Tls next to angels love, If not the same.
1t is as strong in passion, tho not so
gross. Catherine Phillips.
This subject is not to be treated dainti.
Is, but with the toughest courage. When
1t is real it Is not merely glass threads
and fIostwork, but the NEST solid thing
VS. know.
Friendship is the strongest chain that
binds two hearts together - 1t is the
sweetest and most satisfactory connec-
ton in life.
There are two elements that go to the
composition OF the word Friendship,
both Of equal Importance One is truth,
the other Tenderness
A friend is person before whom we
