W0MEN'S CLUBS in HARMONY OVER
RECEPTION TO THE PRESIDENT.

The Butte Federation of City Clubs
met this morning to discuss matters Of
Importance. The meeting was a very
harmonious one, and the women attenH>
ing it decided to withdraw entirely when
1t came to the question of selecting
committee to receive the presidential
party. ,
The federation is supposed to he about
as representative body Of women as
could be gathered The members are
either presidents or delegates of their
respective clubs, but in view Of the fact
that one member of the Business Mems
association had succeeded in creating
quite little disturbance. the federation
decided to take his view Of the matter
and appoint others in their places.
1t was decided to allow each Of the
clubs-the Atlas. the West Side Snake
speare. the Woman's and the Homer-to
elect their own delegates: the Daughr
ters Of the Revolution and the Relief
Corps to also select one. Then THERE 4

Readers of the Inter Mountain will
doubtless be pleased to learn that an
other of the famous voting contests so
popular last year begins with todays
issue of the paper. The contests of last
year We're highly exciting, entirely
friendly and the results were satisfac-
tory to all who took part either as cam
didates or as partizans of those who
made such enterprising efforts to win
the prize. That the contest begun today
will be equally well received and fully
as satisfactory there cannot be the
slightest doubt.
Last years contests We're hummers
and no mistake. When Miss Alice Nc
Andrews won the trip to Alaska 1t
seemed that the whole state rejoiced at
her good fortune. The candidates were
confined to residents of Butte and Ana
conda but the voting was not. Ballots
came pouring in from all over the state.
Clever schemes were devised to secure
votes and work up enthusiasm and some
of the amusing features of the contest
were perfectly side-splitting in their
mrthprovH 1ing qualities. 1t was lots
OF fun.
Today a contest begins that will take
five young ladies of the state of Mon
tana on a trip to the Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo as guests of the Inter
Mountain. How they will be provided
for on the trip may be learned by ask
ing any one of the haf-score of young
ladies who were taken through the Vel
lowstone Park last year or by recalling
the care and thoughtfulness displayed
when Miss McAndrews departed for far
off Alaska. Assuredly the Inter Noun
tain will do the honors of the trip in
style and the five young ladies from
Montana will not lack for the good
things that come to the sightseers who
visit the wonderful fair.
The contest will last from today until
June 25th. At nine O'Clock on the even
ing of June 20 the last coupon must be
in and as soon as the counting can be
finished the announcement of the Win
ners will be made and arrangements for
the trip completed. Next to the presi-
dents swing around the circle the trip
of the five Montana girls to Buffalo Will
attract attention over the states wide
area this summer OF course they will
all go together: it will be a merry crowd.
Girls who are popular enough to win in
a voting contest never are lacking IN
appreciation of a good time.
For the purposes of the contest Ia"
state has been divided into four dis
tricts Butte is one Of them and by far

the most populous Of all. From Butte
two candidates will be selected. Clip ont
the coupons and vote for whoever you
wish. The two receiving the highest
number of votes will so to Buffalo.
Then for western Montana a district
has been made up consisting of Ana.
conda, Deer Lodge and Missoula. The
candidates voted for from these towns
will all have an equal chance. and the
one receiving the most votes will take
| the trip to the big exposition.
Southern Montana is another section.
Dillon. Virginia City and Bozeman Will
comprise this district. These three towns
can fight it out among themselves. Tn.
candidate receiving the most votes be-
fore the balloting closes at the Inter
Mountain Office on June 25 will join the
happy party of five on the joyous jaunt
to Buffalo.
Billings. Livingston and Red Lodge
comprise another district. Residents OF
these cities can carry on battle OF bal
lots until the end of the contest. an
the Inter Mountain will count The
coupons sent in and announce the VIM
ner. OF course. the candidates and til"
number of votes received will be an
nounced from day to day as the contest
proceeds. Everybody knows how these
contests are carried on. Even the chill
dren who had not yet learned to read
were interested in last years coupon
contest.
The same conditions will govern the
contests that ruled last years rivalry,
except that instead of the contests be-
ing confined to one town. as they were
when the Park contest was on. tnree
towns are grouped together. This Will
give added interest to the contest ana
allow local pride to have its fling. 1t
will be a lively race from the word go.
The circulation of the Inter Mountain
has gone far beyond what it was year
ago, and the contest beginning to-day
will take on an interest sucn as people
of this enterprising states have never
seen Tires something in the free air
of this state that sets the brood ting
ling at the mention of anything that calls
for enterprise and huStling ability. Inc
Inter Mountains voting contest goes out
to the people to-day ia response to a
popular demand. The people want it
and they will all join in the work of
making it a great success.
| 1t is now up to the great public to
/ clip the coupons and the Inter Mountain
will do the rest

The circuit court of appeals for the
NJ ontana district has, in part, reversed
the order of Judge Knowles, made sew
e!al months ago. declaring Samuel
Nixon, Samuel M. Nixon, Lemuel w.
Nixon, James +. Lott and Fanny Lott
involuntary bankrupts. The reversal
which applies only to Lemuel w. Nixon
and Fanny Lott carries with it the
costs of the case which has been hang
ins fire in the federal court for the past
two years. In view OF the fact that the
United States marshal. acting under in
structons from the federal court, took
Lossession of and sold all the goods al
legged to be owned by the Nixons and
Lofts and contained in the Silver City
Mercantile company's store, cOmpli-
Gated case is made of the affair.
The history of the Nixon trouble dates
back to the first months in 1890 when
Samuel Nixon left Butte for parts un
known. Mr.. Nixon had purchased an
immense stock of goods from eastern
firms and brought it to Butte. He con-
Quoted a store under the name of the
Mercantile comrany and it was alleged

together with a showing that there was

transferred the goods from one store to

creditors in any way.

exception of Samuel Nixon, filed their

SO many teachers present as there were

tree bears a label and how delighted the
children were over the trees that had
thrived.

The federation decided that the time

The local committee having in charge
the preparations for the reception of
President Mckinley, on his arrival in
Putte, has travelled a rocky road for
various reasons and the end of it's
troubles is not yet.
First it was the time of the arrival.
The statements made by Senator Carter
and the presidents private secretary
conflicted and a dispatch was sent the
senator asking for definite answer as
to the exact time of the arrival. There
was a long delay. but the answer finally
came and then the committee went
cheerfully to work to arrange for a re-
ception that would rebound to the
credit of 1.-The greatest mining town on
earth"
Now there comes another hitch. Mrs
| Mckinley is i'll and there exists grave
| doubt as to whether the president will
| b. able to continue his tour at ALL Even
( if he does, Mrs. Mckinley will probably
accompany the party no farther
I The committee held a meeting last
evening but took no steps toward adding
any new features to the celebration in
honor of the presidents visit. until the
press dispatches convey some idea as
to the intention of the president with
| regard to continuing the tour.
my idea is that President Mckinley
and his party will make the entire trip
as scheduled. unless the illness of Mrs.
Mckinley should prove more serious
than is anticipated" said Postmaster
| George w. Irwin this morning. 1T is
possible. nay probable. that Mrs. Nc
Kinley will be able to accompany the
party any farther. She may remain in
California for the benefit of her health
until the tour is almost ended. and then
take the train for Washington in time
