NOTABLE MUSICAL EVENT.
 Posters are out announcing the con cert of the Ladies' singing club, which will be given in the Congregational church on Friday evening, August 30, at 8. 15 o'clock. The club will be as- sisted by Frederick A. Parkhurst, baritone, of New York, and a quintet of strings led by Gustav Dannreuther, first violin, whom all know so well here and Tn New York. This is the clubs fourth season and it has 40 formation. Arthur D. Woodruff Of New York is the conductor and has been rehearsing the club every We'd nesday and Friday afternoon since early in July and now, during this week and the next, three or more af- ternoons will be given up to the work. Time and labor are not spared when the question of fine ensemble work by the club arises. This concert bids fair to be the finest yet given by the club, as the music is as choice as can be found for wOman's chorus. Mrs William $. Nelson of New York will concert will be repeated in Litchtield on Saturday night, as was done last summer, the club members going up either on the noon or evening train and returning by a special which has been arranged for. Many friends of the club went up to Litchtield last summer and had a very enjoyable time and any contemplating doing so at this time would do we'll to notify MT Woodruff as early as possible to secure the special ticket provided for the round trip.

Rocks in the Box.

Libby Montanian: While east some
time ago j. u. Clark purchased a
musical slot machine, paying 500
therefor. The machine was sup
supposed to be shipped about a month
ago ana the box supposed to contain
the machine arrived this week The
shipping receipts and all were regu-
lar and Mr. Clark paid the freight. G.
K. Downing helped to pack the box
from the depot. When opened the box
contained a lot of rocks, old books, al
manacs, etc. At first Mr. Clark
thought he had been jobbed here at
home and came near mixing up with
some of the boys before he could pac-
ify himself. Then the truth dawned
upon him. The box was further in
vestigated and revealed the fact that
the rocks and contents of the box
had been put in before the box had
left the east as all of them were for
eigh to this state. 1t is very likely
that the box was packed by crooked
shipping clerk in the employ of the
company from whom he purchased
the instrument. He holds receipts
for the money and it Is likely that he
will not be the loser.

at the instance of the ministerial as
sociation, and will be presented to tn
legislature, if some member can be

and discussed at length, and the
members who attended the meeting
decided to employ an attorney to

Bow delegation in particular the ne

could not be knocked out before the

CHARGEDTOFOOTPADS

Butte, Jan. 14.-Sunday night about
Z O'Clock, George Morhard, a collector
for the Trades and Labor Assembly,
staggered into Mullins saloon on
Front street, near the depot and fell
unconscious upon the floor, his clothes
dripping with blood from an ugly
wound in his left side just under the
heart. Upon being revived Morharl
told a story of having been held up.
shot and robbed of $500 by two
masked men. AS there has been, for
a week past, an epiaemic of this par
ticular sort of crime raging in Butte,
and as Morhard's story was circum-
stantial and corroborated by fac s
other than his, nobody doubted that
he was another victim of the vicious
gang of footpads, whose desperate
crimes are terrorizing Butte.
But today it is openly asserted that
Morhard shot himself to hide the
shame which was his, because of his
failure to turn into the treasury of the
Trades and Labor Assembly some
$500 he had collected. For more
than week the assembly had insist
ed upon the payment Of the money,
and Sunday night the officers of the
Assembly were around with the pa
pers necessary for Morhard's arrest
and the police say Morhard, knowing
this, shot himself, probably more SER
iously than he had intended and told
the story of the hold up to conceal
his crime. Morhard's condition is
very critical

while he was regarded as a strong
candidate for the senate. He welded
his influence in behalf of MacGinnis
for speaker against Clark's wishes,
but it is said that that did not cause
an estrangement between them, but
Heinze's loss in strength antedatos
that. in fact it is doubtful if the speak
ership fight had any effect on the
senatorial contest. Heinze for a
month or two appeared to be riding
on the crest of popular wave, but
he has taken slide and is scarcely
to be regarded as a candidate
w. A. Clark left this afternoon for
Butte, but will return tomorrow night,
1t is said that he is very much dis
gusted with the attitude of the Lewis
and Clarke county delegates who
have failed him in critical time. al
though they were elected on plat
form that left them no option but to
support him. At the same time it
is believed that Lewis and Clarke
county men will not dare vote for
anyone else, although they will not
attend a caucus.
Many of the lawmakers left the cap
ital today and outside of the head
quarters of the several aspirants for
senatorial honors there appears no
activity this evening.

HEINzE SHUT OUT.
The Ciarks Have Trouble of Their
Own-Another "Hold Up" Looked

Helena, jan 1.-THE senatorial
situation grows more complex every
hour. There seems to be no cause
for the disaffection in the Clark ranks
other than a desire, it is alleged, Oh
the part of some of the members to
holH up w. A. Clark for all there IS
in it.
Senator Clark has sent for several
of his advisors from Butte and else
where in the state and today COLI
ference will be held to determine up
on what steps to take. The failure
of the democrats and labor men to
caucus is the source of anxiety and
there is no telling how long it will
be until senator from this state
is elected to fill the long term to say
nothing of the short term.
A fight is in prospect that promises
to rival the sensational contest of
two years ago, when Senator Clark S
managers made such bad job of it.
That Senator Clark is going to have
to spend money if he secures q seat
in the senate of the United States is
certain, and from all indications his
supporters will do no less inartictic
job than they did two years ago. If
the democrats had shown a disposi-
tion to endorse Clark in a party eau
Gus it would have been a compara-
lively easy matter for the Clark men
to have lined up those who hold
the balance of power and are now
causing so much trouble.
A great deal of suppressed excite
ment prevails in political circles here
this afternoon. Many of Clark S
friends and advisors are here and 9TH
ers have been summoned from every
part of the state, and the first
of the week will see nearly every
prominent politician in Montana
gathered in Helena.
Heinze returned from Butte today
but his appearance around the hotel
did not carry much significance. He
seems to be practically out of the
fight, while the friends of John Mac.
Ginnis, of the Montana Ore Purchas.

friends to support MacGinnis in the

didate.
The Clarks are having troubles OF
their own just now, and have no time
to look after Heinze Charlie Clark
and Heinze are again quite friendly
and are occasionally seen in each 9th
ers company.

Heinze is hard to explain. For a

TRAINS DELAYED.
Two Snow Slides Near Java On the
Great Northern.

Train No. 4, which left here last
night, is delayed at Java, about sixty
miles east from Kalispell near the
Summit. The delay is caused by two
snow slides, one about three hundred
feet in length, the other about five
hundred feet long. Train No. 16, q
freight, is also held there by reason
of the slides.
1t will take considerable time to
clear the tracks, and Superintendent
Kennedy is making up a train to be
manned by all the help he can obtain
to leave at once for the scene of the
trouble. The problem of handling
snow on the mountains is serious
one, but all the roads in the west are
having plenty of it since the late
thaw.
