RMINED
TO DIE
Andrew Peterson Hangs Him.
self from a Rafter.
FOUND BY A NEPHEW
Had Resided in Kalispel1 for Five Years.
Was Little Weak Mentally.
No Inquest.
FOUND BY A NEPHEW

Andrew Peterson, who resided with
his brother, Olaf Peterson, at the cor
ner of Fourth avenue east and Sixth
street, committed suicide this morn
ing by hanging.
Andrew was 60 years of age and
came here five years ago with his bro
ther. from Michigan. Originally the
family came from Sweden. Andrew
had lived with Olaf ever since their
arrival in Kalispell. His mental condi-
ton has not been good, and it has
been found necessary to watch him at
times. This morning he arose as u.s.
ual and seemed in a cheerful frame of
mind. Shortly after breakfast he
went to the barn to do some chores.
About ten o'clock his absence was
noted and search was instituted His
dead body was found hanging from a
rafter in the barn loft, by son of Mr..
Olaf Peterson, who Immediately gave
the alarm.
From the position of the body it was
evident that the suicidal intent was
most determined, as he could have
reached the hay with his feet and
saved his life had he SO desired. AS
it was, he strangled slowly to death.
Coroner Willoghby was summoned
and after investigation decided an in
quest to be unnecessary.
The body was turned over to I'm
dertaker Mcmahon and will be inter
red tomorrow in the Demersville
cemetery
No reason is assigned for the deed
other than that of mental weakness
and a disposition toward melancholia.

Mr.. BENDER DENIES 1T.

Editor Bee:
desire to deny the statement in
the Bee last evening that l represent
Spokane parties in making placer To-
cations in Flathead county. The
names of my associates in this matter
can much more easily be ascertained
from the declaratory statements OF
these locations filed for record than
the acreage of the locations, and such
associates will be found to be resi-
dents and citizens of Montana.
I further desire to deny that l am
promoter of corporate interests of
Spokane or elsewhere An investiga-
ton of this matter will disclose the
fact that myself and associates intend
to expend between $4,000 and 100000
in prospecting these placer locations
for petroleum or other mineral oil.

FREE DELIVERY OF
THE CITY MAIL
Likely to be Inaugurated in kaiispeil
This Year.


This Year.
In response to an inquiry from Mr.
James Conlon, president of the local
board of trade, Charles Hedges, acting
superintendent of the free postal SER
vice. has written that free delivery is
controlled by the receipts of the To-
cal postoffices. The fiscal year ends
June 3Oth for the postoffice depart
ment, and if at that time the receipts
of the local office show an aggregate
of $4,000 or more for the preceding
twelve months, an investigation will
be made by the department to deter
mine if the town meets the require
ments of the regulations for the es-
tablishment of free city delivery.
Postmaster Bernard informs The
Bee that there can be no doubt as to
Kalispell being entitledto free delivery
so far, at least, as the receipts of the
postoffice are concerned. Up to the
end of last March the receipts were
$4,000 and at that time there still
remained three months of the fiscal
year, so that by the end of June the
receipts of the local Office are likely
to be close to $4,000 for the year.
AS Kalispell's houses are all. or
nearly all, numbered, and the system
of sidewalks is complete and being eX
tended every day. it is likely that the
other requirements of the regulations
will be found to exist here, and the
city will likely be enjoying free de-
livery before next Christmas.

Quaker r1eeting.

Well, am surprised and sorry to
learn from the note from Union Dale
by Rev. French that that neighbor-
hood has drifted so far from the ''real
thing" as to get up an entertainment
for the amusement of the people of
that place at the expense of the "Old
Quaker church" We up here in
Glenwood township have ''Quaker
Settlement" also have nice, neat
little church built and are glad that
we are descendants of such men as
George Fox, VIM. Penn and multi
tude Of others that could be named
who have had as much, if not more, to
do in making this free country, and
why? Because the Quaker dareS have
views and stand by them.
Now, the Quaker church is no mean
thing as it would seem the people of
Union Dale think for we have univer-
stiles and colleges all over the United
States and Canada and large meet
ing in England.
Now, hope that Union Dale will
never again get up an entertainment
and call it Quaker meeting.

A Romantic Wedding.

Dentist Joe Lutz and Miss Belle
Reed, eldest daughter of Judge and
Mrs. H. H. Reed of this place, were
united in marriage at the home of the
brides parents last Sunday evening.
AS a rule there is nothing necessarily
odd about wedding, but in this case
it was different to an extent. The
ceremony was to have been performed
last Sabbath at noon but Saturday
evening the prospective groom noticed
a small breaking out on his face and
had DR.. Slagle call and see him. The
result of the interview was that Mr.
LutZ was told that he was coming
down with light attack of smallpox.
He of course arranged to postpone the
wedding Indefinitely, and partook Of
his share of the wedding dinner in the
SecluSion of his own room. Sunday
evening the bride-tO-be showed signs
of smallpox and the matter was dis
cided that it would be an excellent
idea to isolate themselves and have
the smallpox and enjoy their honey
moon at the same time and plans for
that purpose were speedily carried out.
Rev. w. J. Meredith performed the
ceremony, allowing plenty of room be-
tween himself and the contracting
PARTIES. The happy couple are now
at home to their many friends at the
II. H. Reed residence, the family go
ing to the home of their son J. T.,
who has recently recovered from the
smallpox. DR.. and Mrs. Lutz are ex-
cellent people and their many Smith
Center friends extend congratulations
along with the hope that the attack
of the epidemic will be easily master
ed and that no bad results will come
from it in the extremely light form it
is taking in all the recent cases.

Lodged In Jail.

Joseph B. Hinton the young man
who shot Miss Maggie Shurtz at Logan
some weeks ago, has so far recovered
that it was thought proper to bring
him over to this city to be lodged in
jail. Accordingly last Tuesday John
Shurtz, the man who has been guard
ing him at Logan, brought him over
and he is now in Sheriff Yerton's care.
Miss Shurtz is reported to be worse,
and very little hope is entertained for
her recovery. If she die the informa-
tion will charge the young man with
murder in the first degree, instead Of
assault with intent to kill.
The journey to this city caused Hin
ton to suffer a serious relapse, so at
present he is being cared for in the
jury room in the court house, and will
be kept there until his recovery is
complete.

State Control of the Liquor Traffic in
Russia.

South Cardinals experiment with d
state diSpensary is to be completely
Overshadowed in Russia. The gov
eminent OF the Gar has begun to take
control Of the liquor traffic through
out the empire. M. de Witte, the
acute Minister of Finance, is the Mrs.
Nation of the Russian temperance cru
SADIE. The need of reform is admitted
everywhere in Russia. The peasant
is a good humored, sociable man and
from his very virtues falls an easy
prey to drunkenness.
The government has long recognized
the extent Of the impoveriShment and
degradation of this class of citizens
from excessive drinking. Alexander
III saw that this evil was destroying
the people and sixteen years ago a
temperance edict was issued. 1t pro-
hibited the sale of spirits apart from
the sale of food, except in corked bot
ties. Establishments which sold spir-
its by the bottle were forbidden to
consist of more than one room. Drink
ing houses were suppressed by this

From L. William Thayis' Washing

From L. William ThaviS' Washing
ton correspondence in the Topeka
Journal we clip the following: "Con
gross has paid Mr.. George F. Thomp-
son, of Manhattan, Kans., the sum of
s., 900 for the compilation of a history
of the Coinage Act of 1873" The
volume is a complete record of all doc
uments issued and the legislative pro-
ceedings concerning the act. IL was
published last spring and had wide
distribution during the late campaign.
Mr.. Thompson is the well known ed
itor in chief of the bureau of animal
industry at Washington. We plead
ignorance and confess that we never
before heard of this we'll known editor
in chief of the bureau of animal in
duStry at the national capital. But
why should congress pay for such a
campaign document? It ought to
have come out of Hanna s six million
corruption fund. And what special
training in coinage has man who is
editor Of prepotent steers and the es-
cutcheon Of mich COWS? Let him
earn his salary by a leading editorial
on how to fatten cholera hogs for
market. We insist that the shoemak-
er stick to his last. What knows he
about the "Crime of 1872" Let him
write a digest on the crime of gland
ers; let him show how the exception
clause was criminally introduced into
cattle by blackleg gamblers and hol-
low horns by tinhorns. Cham
