The Work Of a sootter,

The question as to whether or moi the
recent prosecution Of Secretary Lindelic
of the State Enforcement League, will
have any effect whatever on the question
of resubmission, and the legislature. &c
ton thereon, has been discussed pro and
con by the newspapers. The fact is gen
orally known that the courts are moi yet
finished with Mr.. Lindelie, and early this
month he will be prosecuted again for
some of the alleged offences that the
grand jury of Grand Forks seems to
think him guilty of having committed.
The %apologists for the League have min
imized the characters of the charges
against Lindelie. and seem to believe
that there is some petty persecution back
of the trouble, which will eventually
leave Lindelie without a stain upon his
name. But there are men who know
Lindelie; and others who have just met
him, and believe they are good judges of
character, who think that Lindelie is by
no means an angel. The newspapers
have had funny items about him, to the
effect that his kitchen table, on which
blind piggers kave left money, should
have a slot in the center-all of which is
banter from disinterested men, who be-
lieve that Lindelie is a good deal of a
fake. The League will, doubtless find it
a hard matter to get an honest executive
officer. There is something about the
job of a spotter, whether he work for a
railroad company or for a temperance
organization, that good, straight, honest
men shrink from. Generally people en-
ployed in such business are weak them
selves in important phases of their char
acters, and most people who know Lin
dele, who are not prejudiced in his ia.
o look upon hin: as being a parsonage
of that sort. Lindelie will in all proba-
bility de discrdited to such an extent
| that the League, if it is t. be useful here
after, will have to get a new secretary.
When it is doing this, it might with ad-
vantage to itself, revise its methods, and
clean its establishment from cellar to
garnet, not forgetting its attorneys

the .lENTEN TABLE.

Many of those who love good living
approach the Lenten season with a GER
tain amount of misgiving, because in
some homes the table is decidly limited.
In the February Delineator there is the
first portion of an article devoted to the
Lenten Table, showing that with a little
care, thought and taste, it can be made
fully as attractive as the general run of
tables. 1t really makes ones mouth wa
ter to hear of the dainty possibilities that
have been overlooked hitherto in the
Lenten Season.

NATIONAL LIVE STOCK MEETING.

The National Live Stock AS
ISOLATION meets in Salt Lake City,
Utah, on Jan.15th for a four days
session, where discussion of sub
jects that interest the stock grow
ers and especially the range indus
try, will be taken up by some of
the ablest men in the country.
Among the important questions
to come before the meeting are
the so-called Grout Oleomargar-
inc bill and the question of leas-
ing the public domain for range
purposes. The passage of the
Grout bill will be vigorously op-
posed by Western stockmen as
class legislation, favorable to the
dairy interests of the East, and
detrimental to the range stock
industry.
AS the range country is being
taken up, the question of leasing
government lands becomes a mat
ter of great Importance to cattle
growers. In western North Da-
kota the average cattleman-the
owner of a few hundred heads

system would prove detrimental
to his interests, giving the wealthy
corporations, practically, contro.
OF all the grazing lands. If bill
could be SO framed as to properly
restrict the amount of land thai
any individual OF corporation
could control, then its passage
would not necessarily be danger
Gus, The country used for graz
ing purposes, as a whole, is no
specially we'll adapted to agricul
tural pursuits, and if it could b,
held for grazing, distributed a
mong a large number of cattle
horse and sheep growers as al
present, no interest woule
suffer. The cattlemen do not fee
that it would be profitable to Blu,
the vacant government lands
much of which is more or les!
broken-but they would not hest

Too Much for the School of

of interest, the Butte Business Colleye

onstrated their superiority over the
spheroid chasing aggregation from the
School of Mines. There were, of course,
no spectacular features, though the
pitching of Foley for the Business boys
and the batting of Wright for the same
team served to in a measure break the
monotony of the listless game.
Foley is a southpaw. more as matter

10 HOLD A MINING CONGRESS
AN international Affair Which Will
Convene in Boise July 20, "a
and IS.

j. D. Flenner, private secretary 70
Senator Dubois of Idaho, and VOL
known newspaper man of Boise, arrive
in Butte last night and departed this
morning for the northern part of the
state in search of mineral specimens
Mr.. Flenner is promoting the Inter,
national Mining congress to be held in
Boise on July %, "a and IS, and the spec,-
mems he will collect will form part of the
exhibits at the congress. 1t is his inten>
ton to collect specimens not only in
Montana, but in all other states where
mining is an industry. He will return
to Butte the early part of next week
ana VIII then announce the details O.:
the coming congress.
Mr.. Flenner stated this morning that
1t was expected the coming congress
would excel anything Of it's kind ever
held. He said that more than one thous>
and delegates would attend, and that
they would come from all parts of tho
world. Already, he said, the various
states interested in mining had signitl,d
an intention of being represented.
Mexico and many of the South American
republics. he said, will also send dele
gates. ~
Mr.. Flenner said that since the pro-
jected congress was announced. the in
terest in it had steadily grown, untn
now he was satisfied it would be an un-
precedented success. He said he ha.
met with 1attering announcement
throughout the various states he had
visited, and particularly in Montana.
The Montana representation at the con-
gress, he said, would be a feature.

Crime Is Still

with the murder Of Stephen Wells, bet
ter known as Missouri Steve" was filed
in Judge Clancy's court to-day. Wells
was shot and beaten on the head with
some blunt instrument in a faro joint

his hands in his hip pockets and decided
to take no chances with him. After the
murder both left the city and are still
at large.
