Senator James K. Jones has
served twenty years in congress.
So far as his individual interests
are concerned he has done well,
having accumulated enough to
become a director in one Of the
largest corporations in the world.
But how is it with his, constitu-
ents? All who are able to take
stock in this concern please stand
on their r.-Pocahontas Her
aid.
All who believe in a few terms
in the Senate Jay Pea Clark will
enable us all to become wealthy
will please stand and be counted.
Senator Jones himself is not a
wealthy man, and as for his be-
ing a member of a trust that idea
has been exploded, entirely tc
the satisfaction of everybody ex-
copt a few partisan newspapers.

when it says, "When we cannot

without venturing to hire out as a

GREAT is ARKANSAS.

There was time in years gone
by that the mention of the word
"Arkansas" in other states was
the signal for general mer1ment;
it was the laughing stock OF the
states.
The mere mention Of the word
"Arkansas" brought forth Wis
ions of swamps almost without
end, of chills and fever, worth
less rocky hills covered with
scrubby timber, razor-back k hogs,
great waste of land covered with
water and filled with alligators
and snakes, of people who were
web-footed with moss growing on
their backs, and who didn't know
the war was over.
Now that is all changed; when
ever the word "Arkansas" Il
mentioned it brings to mind al
most all the luxuries and valua'
BILE products of the United States
it is synonomous with the grea
plantations of cotton and corn
wheat fields, the finest apples

IA. PED HIM WITH HARD END
Justice O'Connor Listens to the De-
It a Hard Puzzle to Solve-Wants
Time to Think the Matter Over
Who Hit Who and Why.

The war that occurred between Daniel
II. Sexton and Samuel Nj. Nixon at
South Butte a few days ago was aired in
all of it's dips. spurs and angles in Justice
OConnOr's court yesterday afternoon and
today. and at the conclusion of the pro-
ceedings the justice announced that he
would think the matter over until
o'clock tomorrow and then render u de
cision.
The airing was in the nature OF a pre-
lminary hearing on q charge of assault
IN the second degree preferred by Sexton
against Nixon the complainant alleging
that Nixon had hit him with the business
end of IA hammer during the ground and
lofty tumbling in which they engaged.
$. Thresher appeared for Nixon AMI
Daniel Yancey represented the state.
During the hearing considerable legal
sparring was INDUCED in by the attor-
neys. but no heavy blows We're struck.
The entire case was one of You did and

gone to the house where the trouble oc-
cured to see if his goods. then under at
tachment. We're all right, and Nixon. who
VAS occupying the upstairs and had
charge of the downstairs. came out with
a shot gun and hammer and struck him
on the head with the latter.
On the other hand Nixon said he had
handed Sexton one with his fist while the
latter was attempting to ascend the STAIR
way. the blow knocking him down: that
there were two boards standing against
the fence and when Sexton fell he jar
red them from their moorlns and lhey
slid down and struck Sexton. He also
said Sexton had stuck one OF his hands
in his hip pocket as if to draw sun,and
as he had heard Sexton usually carried

about to fire on him and ran upstairs for

WHO STOPPED THE MACHINES?
Movement Did Not Start From County
Attorney Ofhce-Cannot I'm
agine Who Did It.

Relative to the stoppage of the opera
ton of nickel-n-the-s slot machines, at
t-ibuted to the county attorneys ONCE,
the gentlemen connected with that de-
partment stated today that they had
aiken no hand in the matter and could
not imagine by whose authority 1t had
been done.
RUSSELL the newly appointed special
dc putty sheriff chosen by the county COM
missioners to enforce the law against
gambling, has not yet filed his bond and
the attorneys therefore express the be-
lief that he had nothing to do with it..
The sheriff has refused to deputize Rus
sell until the bond is filed.
For the benefit of those who desire to
know who Russell is it may be stated
that he is said to be the well-knOwn
cowboy preacher. He was given the
name of Cowboy Preacher" which has
stuck to him through thick and thin.

opposite the new Miner building, dccp
excavation has been made for bust

of two boards that does not offer tue
protection contemplated by the ordi-
nance. No work is being done on the
property at present, and it is a constant
menace to children in the day time AMI
to pedestrians at night, as no lights show
its location. The ordinance provides
that lights shall be mainta aimed between
dark and daylight and that sidewalk
at least three feet wide shall be built
around it.
On the opposite side of the street there
are two buildings being erected, ana
the building materials occupy one-llalt

complied with the ordinance. He is no.
occupying more than one third Of the

he has constructed footwalk, but has
not done 50 on Montana street.
On the north side Of West Broadway,
adjoining the First Presbyterian church,
large apartment house is being erected,
and the contractor has his material scat
tered TO the middle Of the street ana half
way down the block. He has not taken
the trouble to construct a sidewalk
around the material, and the taxpayers
have to take to the middle of the street,
1t would not be so bad If only one side
Of the street was piled up with materia,.
bu; it happens buildings are being
constructed on both sides OF the street
on the four blocks mentioned and tbs
travel at night is large, as the opera
house is on that street.

THOSE SHIRT WAISTS AND THE let
TER CARRIERS

The letter carriers Of Butte do not be-
lleVe in trousers and shirt waists al
though the department at Washington is
willing for them to appear in public in
that hybrid attire. When hot weather
reaches Butte the carriers are willing to
go their rounds in bathing suits or base
ball uniforms, but they object to shirt
waists or petticoats when it is a ques-
ton Of wearing them.
The cause of the trouble is an order
or permit from Washington which suy-
gests that during the summer months
the carriers don shirt waists as a matter
of comfort and discard the heavy coats
and vests they are wearing at the pres
ent time. The carriers say that it will be
a case of shirt sleeve instead of shirt
waists. The department communication
on the subject is as follows:

WILL BUTTE PAY THE BILLS?

The city council is Interested to the
extent Of S2S7.0 o to know who is respon-
sible for the explosion of dynamite that
took place on March 10 at the northwest
corner of Park and Academy streets ana
the outlook is that there will be a warm
discussion at the meeting this evening.
The trouble is to be precipitated by 4
bill for that amount from the Schatzlein
Paint company. 1t is at present in the
hands of the city clerk and is for -
panes of glass supplied to the Public
Library building. The prices for the
lights range from s. to $3.50 each with
an average price of S1.2o. Twelve of
these panes We're frosted at cost of 80
cents each.
A quantity of dynamite exploded in
the excavation made for the building be-
ing erected by D. Goldberg, and Con.
tractor w. Harkins was unable to tell
lust how it happened. The explosion
shattered glass in all buildings in the
vicinity but the library appeared to SUI
fel the greatest damage. The question
now arises as to the responsibility
whether Mr.. Goldberg. as the owner Of
the property. or Mr.. Harkins. the con-
tractor, is the one to look to for pay.
Some contend that the explosion was an
occurrence which could not have been
guarded against with ordinary care and
prudence and consequently. no one is
Financially responsible for the loss.
The meeting of the council tonight
is an adjourned regular meeting, hut
vas called particularly for the purpose
of hearing objections to the sanitary
sewer to be constructed on West Galena

eminent had not the moral right to make
monkeys of them. There is a saving
word in the order, however-the word
''may'-and the carriers are not worry
