"a LEvEL-HEADED Carthage, Mo-.
business Ian cheerfully threw away
$50 the other day." says the Kansas
City Journal. "He had just received
a $500 check in payment of an ac-
count from a man whose bank stand
ing was not of the Al class. He pre-
sented it, however, but was refus ed
payment, with the information that
the man had but $3.50 on deposit
The Payee promptly took $50 out OF
his pocket and deposited it TO the
other mans credit. Then he drew the
$500 on the check without difficulty
and went on his way rejoicing. He
had only lost $50 instead of $500"

Ir seems that Admiral Crownin-
shield, who fought all the naval bat
ties on paper, is to be honored with
the command of the great white fleet
which America will send to the cor
onation of King Edward VII He will
have the rejuvenated Olympia for his
flagship and the glorious Kearsarge,
Illinois, Alabama, New York and
Brooklyn will be in her trail. When
the fleet CLEANS in the sunlight of the

THE YATEs-sHERMAN DISPUTE.

Gov. Yates and Speaker Sherman
continue to find fault with each other
over matters relating to state admin
istration and legislation. Speaker
Sherman in q recent speech in Cal
cago denounced the methods em-
ployed by the Yates administration
TO give places to office seekers and
denounced in sharp utterances some
of the vicious use of the Offices for
political purposes. Gov. Yates pre-
sented his side of the case in & speech
last week before a charities meeting
at lincoln The governors state
ments have raised the issue of YER
acity involving not only Speaker
Sherman but many conspicuous re-
publicans in public life. Now comes
Rock Island Argus., 1901-10-28

Speaker Sherman with a prepared re-
ply to the speech of Gov. Yates. Says
the Macomb statesman:
81 don't know what is the matter
with his exceilency. 1t ought to'be
gratifying to the public for him to
remain in one place long enough to
get sight of him. Since his inagura-
ton it requires an expert wing shot
to bring him down to Illinois earth
He has been hitting only the high
places in his fight across the coun-
try.
mo attack was made on state in
Istitutions or the persons composing
the boards. No criticism Of any pub
lie charity or the efficiency or hu-
manity of the management of any
such charity or state Institution was
made. The criticism was of the sys-
tenn of maintaining numerous boards
for the management of like institu-
tions supported by the state.
1.-The governor is supersensitive.
He seems to think those who favor a
union of the board thereby attack the
institutions. The governor Iesents
any suggestion that Improvement is
possible. IL may be SO under his ad-
ministration- IL was not under his
predecessors, who welcomed better
things. l reiterate that il he had
been friendly to the union of these
. boards it would have been done last
session. / specifically state that he
was opposed to the bull. whatever his
Post-mortem views now are.
at is notorious that every tffort to
on " oiu oil
service sy stem, based on merit and
not on pull. was thwarted by the
governor and his friends. Does he
remember his civil service speech at
the Auditorium theatre a few days
before last election? He promised
his support to this measure there.
When 1 attempted to help him carry
out this pledge to the people l learned
that his patronage must not be re-
duced. Some unfeeling wag even
remarked that such legislation would
not leave enough of a pay roll to sup
ply the governors relationsi
The governor got the bill on the
22d of February, 1901, to examine
He had it. without suggestions, till
April %. eight days before the ad-
lournment of the legislature. The
Chicago press commented on his con-
duct, so rs to move him 10 action.
Then he called in certain Of his friends
and asked that tue measure be pushed.
His sudden haste to advance it de-
ceived no one. 1t was killed by pro-
tracted executive nursing.
The system of special attorneys,
found by the attorney general to be
unlawful, has paid out in the past as
high as 100000 annually for these
purposes. The canal board alone has
paid out more than S27, ,0O0in I he last
two years. That system is Perpet-
uated by the present government. He
is now considering how to get up a
test case to avoid the attorney gen
erals opinion and save mis- spoils.
lis he now in favor of the bill pre-
pared by the committee of the former
state board of charities, and will he
remain so long enough for the next
legislature to act on it? Will he ad-
wise his friends to support il? If he
convened the general assembly in ex-
traordinarv session, will he include it
in the call? favored such = measure
in the last legislature and will do so
any time hereafter"
The little disagreement between the
two republican leaders in Illinois
seems destined to develop into col
loquy of a most entertaining nature.

CHASING DOWN CLEWS.
Sheriff's Office Busy in Search for the
Missing Men.

Missing Men.
Special Dispatch to the Bee:
Butte. June 27.-Two of the crimin-
ais who walked out of the county Jail
last Sunday morning are still at large
The sheriff's officers have so far been
kept busy chasing down false clews.
Murderer Dempsey has been seen at
several places, according to reports
brought to the sheriff, but investiga-
tion always proved that the wrong
man had been spotted. Yesterday
morning a hurry call came from sa-
loon located on the Hump about half
way between Butte and Gregson. The
sheriff was asked to send an armed
force there quickly as the escaped
criminals were there in a bunch and
that the saloon keeper was getting
them drunk in order to hold them un-
til the arrival of the officers. The
sheriff knew that the men at the sa-
loon could not be his escaped priso-
ners, but he sent two of his deputies
out to investigate. They found the
men there all right, who were getting
drunk and were having goou time at
the expense of the saloon man, who
had visions of reimbursement in the
$400 reward, but none of the men were
Dempsey or Healey.

Variety Of centipede Poisons the

The latest developments in destruc-
tive insectivora in this vicinity is a
form OF poisonous centipede which
has about a dozen victims in the
shape of turkeys recorded on it's
scalp stick, says the Miles City Jour-
nal. The fowls belonged to James
McNany, who operates the Keogh fer
ry, and they seeing the insect crawl
ing along on the ground in an inde-
pendent and Indifferent manner, jump
ed on the harmless looking bug in the
hope of getting some nice centipede
steaks. They only took one peck
each at it, but one peck of this kind
of fodder was-like the Irishman said
of the stone collins enough to last
a lifetime, for each turkey promptly
keeled over and died. Mr.. McNany
captured the maverick and put him in
bottle, where he is now on a shelf
in Billiards.. He is about three inch
es long, of yellowish white color.

New York June 2S.-The failure of
the firm Of Henry Marguand & Co.,
bankers and brokers, was announced
in the stock exchange today. The firm
made an assignment to Frank Sulli-
van Smith. No statement of assets or
liabilities was made. The failure was
without appreciable effect on the stock
market, as suspension had been anti
cipated, for the events attending upon
the closing of the Seventh National
bank, had let strong light upon the
affairs of the company. Manager
Doher of the clearing house said all
banks had cleared as usual and that
no further difficulty was anticipated

wade An Unknown Land.
By Associated Press:
Seattle, June 26,-A United States
exploration party arrived in Dawson
early in June, on the way to northern
Alaska, to explore one of the widest
unknown territories in the vast ter
ritory. It is headed by w. c. Menden-
hall, geologist, and D. L. Reyburn, ty-
pographer, who are accompanied by
five men. The party was to leave
Dawson about June 10, going down
the Yukon to Fort Hamlin by steam
er; thence overland by the Dahl river
trail to the middle fork of the Koy-
okuk to Bergman. where supplies
were shipped for the party last year.
Thence they go up one of the south
ward flowing tributaries of the Koy-
okuk. probably the Alashuk, thence
over the divide to the Kowak and
down the Kowak to KotzebIe sound
opening into the Arctic ocean, a
short distance from the Bering strait
This is the first government party
ever detailed to this field which has
been visited by but few white men.
Mendenhall will gather the geologi-
cal information and Reaburn will
make maps of the country traversed.

MURDER TRIAL At DAWSON.

Is Not Finished,

Case Has Already Cost 100000 and
Is Not Finished.
BY Associated Press:
Dawson, June IA, via Seattle, June
26,-The trial of George O'Brien,
charged with the murder of Lynne
Wallace Relfe and Fred H. Clayson,
both of Seattle, and Ole Oldon, a
Dawson-Skagway telegraph lineman,
Christmas day, 1899, on the winter
trail near Minto, south of Dawson,
which was begun here this week, is
the most absorbing and sensational
ever held in the north. Some idea
of the magnitude of the case as prose-
cuted by the government may be
gathered from the fact that the esti-
mated cost already of the prosecution
is more than 100000. Eighty witness
ses have been gathered here by the
crown from all parts of the Yukon
and from the states and lower Can
ada. Captain Scrath of the North
"SoS AAOuAeCu pOA4CC, VIII has COu-
Quoted the search for witnesses and
evidence for 18 months, has left not
the slightest clue unturned and thous-
ands after thousands of miles have
been traversed in the Yukon and on
the outside by his big corps of assist
ants, notable among them, Detective
Mcguire of Chicago.
The work of searching for O'Bri-
ems suppose accomplices and in gath
ering clues to evidence, has entailed
the most extraordinary detective work
ever done in the north. Much was
done in the dead of the arctic winter.
Men have trailed the supposed accom-
plices the full length of the Yukon,
up tributary streams of the river,
and perhaps to points beyond not yet
made public. Some of the special de-
tectives went down the Yukon and
out by the way of Nome and Seattle
last fall.

cHlNAMEN OUT FOR REFORM.

Incorporate the Chinese Empire Re.
form Society Of Montana.
One of the first, if not the first, Chi
nese society to incorporate under the
laws of Montana filed articles with the
secretary of state yesterday. The or.
ganization is styled the Chinese EN-.
pire Reform Society of Montana, and
fixes 20 years as the length of time
in which to work out the principles set
forth in the resolution adopted at one
of their recent meetings. The arti.
cles of incorporation were prepared by
Albert l. Loeb, who has acted as at
torney for local Cinnamon for some
time.
The society is formed for the pur-
pose of social intercourse, mutual
helpfulness, mental Improvement,
mental recreation, physical and men
tai development and for the promotion
of literature, science and fine arts. The
organization also proposes to take a
hand in promoting the cause of tenn
perance and moral reform, besides es-
tablishing and maintaining of hospi-
tails for the treatment of diseases.
According to the articles of incorpo-
ration, the society has a wider scope
and will encourage general education
among Chinese people in the constitu-
tion and laws of the United States, as
well as in the arts and sciences. 1t is
esired to adopt as far as practicable
the methods that have brought sue
ces sto the American people in the
way of improvements, industrial and
otherwise.
The principal ofiice of the society is
to be maintained in Helena. It starts
with no property or capital stock. but
proposes to levy assessments upon
members to sustain the organization
