tents were not made public, but it
deals largely with routine matters,
telling of the work of the inspectors,
the condition of the industry and the
freedom of the state from scab, and
urges strong action against the pres
ent use by the manufacturers of shod-
dy instead of wool in the manufacture
of woolens. The board adopted the
report. Scab is practically wiped out

the state further west, cooperating
with Montana inspectors, or that the
state veterinarian, M. e. Knowles, be
allowed to assist in the inspection.
At present shippers claim to be de-
layed in making their shipments, since
the railroads refuse to load sheep that
have not been inspected.
The following recommendations
passed relative to the issuance Of a
proclamation by the governor requir-
ing state inspectors to follow the 90
day quarantine rule and not exercise
their own discretion:
Whereas, Reports have come to
the members of the board of sheep
commissioners of the state of Montana
that the quarantine regulations of the
governor of Montana, issued January
10, 1901, are not being strictly enforc-
ed and in some cases construed as Civ
ing discretionary power to the sheep
inspectors to enforce the 90-day quar-
antine regulation; be it
Resolved by the state board of
sheep commissioners of the state of
Montana, in convention assembled,
That we request the governor of the
state of Montana to issue another
proclamation commanding the sheep
inspectors to rigidly enforce the pro-
visions of said proclamation and see
that every sheep brought into this
state be dipped twice and kept in
quarantine for a period Of 80 days at
state line, or at point of destination,
if brought in by a railroad"

WORKING TO SAVE HOWELL.

Ask Communication Of Death Sentence
to Imprisonment for Life.
Helena. Nov. 19.-The petitions that
have been circulated in Fergus county
asking Governor Toole to commute to
life Imprisonment the sentence of
death that has been passed Upon Mil
ton Howell, the slayer of Thomas J..
Rosling, were presented to Governor
Toole yesterday. There are several
hundred signers. Messrs. Cort and
Worden, the Lewistown attorneys who
are working to save Howell's life, for
warded the petitions to the governor,
along with the transcripts of the evil
dence adduced at his trial. They sent
word that they would be in Helena in
a few days to make a personal appeal
to the governor in the condemned
mans behalf.
The governor will not consider the
request to interfere in Howell's be-
half until he has heard the attorneys
present their case. 1t is expected
that the county attorney and others
who believe the law should be carried
out will also be on hand to oppose
executive clemency. The claim is
made that the punishment is too Sc
we're; that Howell had p~rovocation
and that the killing was the outgrowth
of a row between rival stockmen over
land and water rights.

NOT so BAD.
Number of Dead Placed at 3O-Re-
coverinu Remains,

Telluride, Colo, Nov. 2O.-By a fire
in the Bullion tunnel, belonging to
the Smuggler-Union Mining company,
probably 80 lives were lost today.
Seventeen bodies have been recover
ed. The fire, which is known to have
been accidental, started this morning
in the buildings at the mouth of the
tunnel. At this point is located the
upper terminal of the tramway to the
company's new mill at Pandors, and it
was in the bunk house attach that the
fire started. From this it spread to
the terminal station, which, with it's
ore bins and machinery is a mass of
ruins.
The day shift of 200 men had en-
tered the mine and reached their sta
tons when the fire broke out.
The tunnel acted as a flue, and
great volume of smoke poured in and
filled the slopes.
About 10 of the men succeeded in
reaching safety by another exit. The
fire rapidly burned itself out but the
mine was SO filled with smoke that
it was six hours before the rescuing
parties could penetrate the slopes
where the less fortunate WERE. At 1
o'clock the first body was recovered,
and at $50, IL dead had been remov-
ed from the mine.
The engineer, Hugh ]. O'Neill, was
found alive, but is not expected to re-
cover. No list of dead is yet obtain
able.

WAS CAUSE OF REMOVAL OF
BUFFALO TREASURER.
EXAMINING BOOKS
Treasurer Asserts That Cash is All
in Banks'or City's Strong
Box.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 19.-Mayor
Diehl tonight suspended City Treasur-
err Philip Gerst from office.
In the notice of suspension the
mayor charges Mr.. Gerst with mis-
conduct in Office and with having kept
inaccurate and false accounts and
specifically charges that from the &C
counts of the city treasurer the
amount Of cash on hand to the credit
Of the city is $50, 900 in excess Of the
actual amount.
The examination Of the treasurer's
accounts which has been in progress
for several days will be continued.
Specifically the mayor charges that
Treasurer Gerst borrowed from banks
upwards of $4,000, with which to
v up the shortage in his accounts
at a time when an examination was to
be made; that in August last he loan
ed the bank $4,000 of the city's money
and that at various times during the
current year he appropriated to his
own use moneys belonging to the city,
the aggregate of such sums being
$4,246.
After he had been served with no
tice of removal, Mr.. Gerst said to a
reporter: II don't care to discuss the
matter in detail at present. The
books of my office are undergoing an
examination by an expert accountant
and the result of that examination will
show that every cent of the city's
money is in the banks or in the office
of the treasurer at this very moment.
Notwithstanding the charges of the
mayor, the city of Buffalo will lose not
a penny through my administration of
the Office"
Mayor Diehl declined to talk on the
matter further than to say, in reply to
a question as to whether MI. Gerst
had attempted to explain the shortage
or offered to tell what use he has made
of the money he is alleged to have ap-
propriated: 81 believe he has &C
counted for the $50, 1000, but so far as
I know, has made no effort to explain
his use of the small amounts. I be.
lieve his bondsmen have arranged to
make good any shortage there is"

NATIONAL CONVENTION W.c.T.U.
Officers Elected for the Ensuing Yea
and Platform PROMULGATED.


Fort Worth, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Lillian
M. N. Stevens was unanimously elect
ed president of the w. G. T. U. for
the coming year; Mrs. Susan Frye,
corresponding secretary; Mrs. Clara
Hoffman, recording secretary and Mrs.
Helen Morton Barker, treasurer.
Three particular features marked
the proceedings of the national con-
vention of the w. C. T. U. today, the
last but one of the sessions, viz: The
election of officers, the final deliver
ance of a platform Of principles and
a decision in respect to political &C.
ton. The last was not accomplished
without considerable debate, the ex-
tremists c%ontending that as the con
vention had declared in it's resolu-
lions for Christian citizenship, con
stitutional enactment concerning poly
gamy and monogamistic marriage and
the necessity for prohibiting the man
%ufacture, sale and distribution of al
coholic liquor it would only be con
sistent to cast in it's fortunes with the
political party pledged to all of these
reforms. The conservative portion
of the convention, however, held that
as the cause of opposition to the
liquor traffic had so far prospered
through non-partisan action, "let we'll
enough alone" should continue to be
the motto. The latter view prevailed.
