; BUTTE MARKETS. :
:;

Cabbage, wholesale, is quarter of
cent lower than it was last week, the
present price being ga cents per pound.
The drop is the result of an over stocked
market resulting from heavy shipments
into the city during the early part of the
week.
Good apples are going at $1.75 per box
wholesale, which makes the retail price
about $500. The market is fairly Well
supplied with them at present.
Potatoes, common, are firm at so cents
per 100 with slight prospects of an ad-
vance. Sweets arealso fir min price and
stock, the quotation being S. per barrel
Cranberries are going at $12 per barrel;
oranges and lemons at $7.35 per case.
For some reason not made entirely
clear by dealers, the price of smoked
meats is gradually increasing, the whole
sale quotation on ham being II cents per
pound and on bacon Is 1-2 cents. A year
ago the former was bringing a greater
price than the latter, but by system
of reasoning among packers bacon has
been given the lead. These two brands
OF the smokers art are about the only
ones used extensively in Butte and the
subject of their price is therefore of more
than passing interest to consumers
The hay market has been weak during
the last few days and is likely to remain
so awhile longer Especially is this true
of the timothy and wild brands, both of
which have advanced in price, the form
err being now quoted at $14.75 per tom in
carload lots and the latter So There is
little of either in the market, but there
is plenty Of alfalfa, which is quoted at
$1,000. Oats, too, are steadily advancing

MAY Be AN
EXTRA SESSION
TO TAKE ACTION UPON THE AP-
PoRTIoNMENT BILL VETOED
BY GOVERNOR.
SAID TO BE CLEVER
SCHEME OF LEGISLATORS
Hoped to Have an Extra Session in
Order to Pass Some of Their
Pet Measures.

The constitution of the state of Mon
tana makes it mandatory that after each
federal census the legislature shall pass
an apportionment bill making proper
provisions with regard to the changes
recorded in population. The Seventh leg
islature passed senate bill re-appor-
tioning the representation from the va
rious counties Of the state and Governor
TOole has vetoed the bill. Now it is
claimed that, as the law on the subject
is imperative, an extra session of the
Legislature will be necessary in order to
comply with it's provisions.
Nor is this all: the charge is directly
made by a prominent attorney of this
city that in his opinion and the opinion
of other we'll known politicians, the veto
was made possible and an extra session
rendered necessary by clever scheme of
the legislators who climbed into prom
inence during the late session as Job
structiOnists."
1t will be remembered by those who
take an Nactive interest in public af-
fairs that one clause of the apportion-
ment bill was so wOrded that Daily coun-
ty was left without representation, as it
did not exist under the name at the
time the bill became a law. 1t is as
serted that the bill was purposely word
ed in this manner in order that SEEM
ingly good grounds could be found for
vetoing the apportionment bill and there
by necessitating an extra session.
The scheme. as explained, is that the
obstructionists desired to pass bill pro-
vding for two new supreme court JUS
tees, but were defeated in the attempt,
even though they tried all manner of
tricks to accomplish their object. There
were other bills they wished to see pass,
but, finding the sentiment against them
they did not try to bring these pro-
posed measures forward. An extra ses-
sion would afford them another oppor-
tunity to work for their pet measures.
'The constitution provides said the
attorney in question, ~that the legisla-
ture shall pass a re-apportionment bill
after each federal census. The law is
mandatory. By vetoing the bill an ex-
ira session is rendered necessary.
The governor is empowered to call
such session, though he may not do it
until the approach of the next general
election. The chances are that so long
an interval will not be permitted to
elapse.'

THEY LIVE BY CRIME.
Half a Million Honest People Supported
 by Offences Against the Law.

Half q Million Honest People Supported
 by offences Against the Law.
 Not less than one hundred thousand of the good citizens of this broad land live by crimes which they do not com init Although among the law-abiding and often most respected citizens of their several communities, they are supported entirely by offences against the law and against right Their nv ing depends on the energies of two nun dred and fifty thousand other persons who commit the offences. Were these two hundred and fifty thousand sud- denly to become upright citizens ana cease to break the laws, not only the one hundred thousand, but four times as many more who depend upon them would be thrown out of their livelihood and must depend upon charity for SUD- nort until some other occupation should be found for them.
 If it be true that there is honesty among thieves this time cannot be as far distant as might be supposed, for by the national census it appears that the country is rapidly approaching a time when all the inhabitants snail De indicators, and therefore, according to the proverb, being honest among themselves, will no longer require su- pervision In 1850 but one out of every 8422 inhabitants was criminal. In 1870 thieves and other evil doers had in creased so that one out of every l,lH inhabitants served a term in jail Tn 1890 one out of every 7S6.5 was incarce- rated, and the proportion has steadily increased, so that now it probably ap- proximates one out of every five hun dred.
 TO look after these evil doers the United States maintains police force estimated at seventy eight thousand men, costing annually more than fifty million dollars for their support. In fifty-two of the chief cities of the land there are over fifteen thousand police, whose maintenance costs over thirteen million dollars. In addition to these police is a great army of men who are employed in the machinery of trying and punishing criminals. There are po- lice magistrates, trial judges, clerks, bailiffs, jailers and penitentiary guards III all dlHUuuIlll6 " SCNSA0A more. On an average one guard is re- quired for every ten prisoners in Jail. On the 1st of June this year there were upward of eighty-fve thousand prison CTS in iails in this country This Is taken as fair daily average, so that there must have been eghty-flve hum dred guards caring for them.
 This army of one hundred thousand men engaged in catching, trying, guarding and watching thieves and other evil doers, reckoning at the usual rate for this country of one to family of five, is the support of five hundred thousand~ persons. The cost to na- ton in wages, court expenses and sup port of these men, not counting the civil costs, is not less than one hundred and twenty-five million dollars. All this expense is brought upon the na- tion through the desire of many people to break laws. The expense is even greater than this, for there are the criminals in jail to be fed and housed, which, if the average cost is but little

Both Boxer and Jim had enormous arsAs petites. Boxer was small dog an{a Jim very large one and as the rel8@
 tions of the pack among themselVess were those of brutal wild-b beast self1s1s ness, Boxer had to eat very quickly HI he expected to get anytl1ing when Jim
 was around. He never venture& t8| fight Jim, but in deep-tored voice ar-
 pealed to heaven against the liarfkh-1 teousness with which he was treated;S and time and again such appeaI caused me to sally out and rescue hi&s dinner from Jim's highway robher36

 gar we usually cut up the carcass and fed 1t to the dogs, if we did not expect another chase that day. They de-f voured it eagerly, Boxer, after his meal,
 always looking as if he had swallowe1f a mattress.-President Roosevelt III

more than one hundred dollars per criminal amounts to ten million dol lars
 If "Bill Sykes as the English term the malefactor, should therefore sud- denly reform he would save the nation an expense of one hundred and thirty five million dollars annually, in addi- tion to what he steals and the damage he does. But what a calamity he would plunge 1t into. Of the criminals out of iail probably twenty thousand have no other occupation. Add these to the eighty-fiye thousand who would be re- leased. and these again to the one hun dred thousand honest folk thrown out of employment, and the nation would be left in some such plight as it was at the close of the rebellion, with two hun dred thousand men out of employment to be absorbed into various lines or trade, and these same persons with all dependent upon them to be pensioned and supported until they could be cared for The expense of the pension ing and the pension bureau would prob ably equal the present policing expense for a time, but the problem of caring for all the people and finding them employment would be great.-Chicago Tribune.

SOME COUGAR HOUNDS.

On the whole, the most useful dog next to Jim was old Boxer. Age had made Boxer slow, and in addition to this the first cougar we tackled bit him through one hind leg, so that for the remainder of the trip he went on three legs. or, as Golf put it, packed one leg;" but this seemed not to 1nterrere with his appetite, his endurance, or his desire for the chase. Of all tpe dogs he was the best to puzzle out cold tral on a bare hillside or in any difficult place. He hardly paid any heed to the others, always insisting upon- working out the trail for himself, and he never gave up Of course, the dogs were much more apt to come upor~the cola than upon the fresh trail of cougar, and it was often necessary for them to spend several hours in working out a track which was at least two days old.

(Continued from First Page.) not press his point and MT. Frederick offered the motion which the mayor had suggested. The motion to recon sider was unanimously adopted.
 Then MT. Curtis, the member who had heretofore strenuously opposed the appropriation of $1,500 offered the fol- lowing:
 Voted, that in view of the announced intention of the president of the United States to be In New Haven at the time of the Yale bi-centennial, the full amount authorized by the city charter, viz. S1, 800. be and is hereby transferred from the interest account in sundry &C., counts to contingent account for H. Illumination and decoration of the cen tral Green and the city hall for pub- lie celebration at the bicentennial Of Yale college to occur October 2O-23 1901.
 MT. Dewell remarked that he had been in favor of the appropriation even before 1t was announced that the presi- dent was coming and remarked upon the insertion of the reason assigned by MT. Curtis for voting the appropria- tion.
 The vote was passed unanimously and Mr. Atwood at once requested that the vote be recorded as an unani- nous one. The mayor informed him that since the vote was unanimous it would of course be so recorded.
 Then MT. Frederick offered the fol- lowing. Voted, that the appropriation of 1,50O for the public celebration dur ing October 20-23. 1901, be expended under the authority of his honor, the mayor. the president of the board of aldermen, the president of the board of councilmen, and the director or pup lie works and that the controller be directed to charge to the contingent &C., count in the sundry accounts all b1lls approved by said officers to an amount not to exceed $1,500 when the same shall have been approved by the board of finance.
 This vote was also unanimously adopted According to it's tenor the court of common council committee ap- pointed to make arrangements TOT the citys part in the celebration will be lg- nored except that two of it's members, the presidents of the two boards Of the common council, are named upon the committee created by the finance board.
 The mayor last night issued call for a special meeting of the aldermen and councilmen to be held tonight. The charter provides that when contracts are to be let bids must be advertised TOT at least ten days before the contracts are let. The time ermaining before the bicentennial is now so short that 1t IS feared that the delay of ten days would render it impossible for any local con- cern to prepare the illumination and decoration. The charter further pro- vides that the court of common coun- cil may by its vote waive the require ment for advertising ten days before and it is in order to secure that con- sent of the common council that the special meeting is called.
