Election Officers Arrested.

Considerable interest is manifest
over the arrest of the members OF
the election board in the second
ward of this borough charged with
refusing to accept the vote of c. NJ.
Yeager.
The plaintiff is in the railway mail
service, running between Hartley
Hall and Satterfield, and, together
with his family, makes his home
on Second street, where he has re-
sided for nearly two years. The
gentleman has voted on previous oc-
casions, but when h ; came to d pos
his ballot at the late election the
board refused to receive it, claiming
that his place of residence was Milf
linburg, where he resided when he
entered the mail service. Officials
base their decision on Article vi,
Section 4, Of the election laws which
reads: "For the purpose of voting,
no person shall be deemed to have
gained residence, by reason of his
presence, or lost it by reason of his
absence, while employed in the ser
vice, either civil or military, of this
state or the United States"
The members of the board appear
ed before Squire Kahler on Friday
and gave bail for their appearance at
court. - Hughesville Mail

NATURES SPRINKLING CART
City Rejoicing Over Abatement of the
Dust Nuisance, Even if for
But a Day.

Anaconda April PA universal feel
ing of satisfaction spread over Anaconda
this morning when the citizens awoke
and found that during their slumbers Il
copious rain had fallen and for time
had made a settlement of the dust ques-
ton.
The dust nuisance has been awful for
several days. Business men did their
best to keep it out. of the air with some
small lawn hose. in the absence of any
thing better, and it has been no uncOm-
mon think to see them spend an hour or
two each morning holding fast to gar
den hose and directing a stream of water
to the street.
Manager Mahargue of the Montana Ho-
tel was the first to start the movement.
1t was noticed that he was making a tell
ing improvement when others took up the
idea and made the best possible use Of it.
Tod Williams, who earned the title of
boss sprinkler, did great service with his
hose at the intersection of Main street
and Park avenue, but on top of that the
dust swooped down upon the town in
great black clouds and Chief Mentrum
and his finely disciplined men had con-
cluded it was time to have little sur
prise party and intended to appear on
Main street at an early hour this morn
ing and give it perfect drenching.
But the weather man concluded that he
was going to do the sprinkling himself
so he ordered few clouds over from Mt.
Haggin at an early hour this morning
and after going through a few prelimin-
aries turned on the precipitation. The
fremen slept on and their slumbers We're
undsturbed until the skies Redeemed in
the east.

TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB
Anaconda Catholic Club Changes Name
So as to Admit Non-Catholic
Members
Especial to Inter MOuntain.)

NcpSCidi " lulCI AMcuHtdll.)
Anaconda, April 25.-An enthusiastic:
meeting of the Anaconda Catholic club
took place last evening at the club
rooms, and among other important bust
ness transacted was the changing of the
club name. Hereafter it will be known
as the Twentieth Century club Of Ana
conda. The reason for this action on the
part of the members was due to the
fact that many non-Catholics desire to
boone members of this social organiza-
ton, but owing to the fact that tn.
former name gave the impression that
it was sectarian organization they
hesitated about becoming members.
Under the new constitution which
went into effect last night, any gentle
man of good moral character is eligible
to membership The initiation fee is
$3.50 and the dues are confined to 81 p>~
month. The officers are elected quar-
terly and comprise a president, secre-
tary and treasurer, and they together
constitute a board of trustees, and in
this board is vested the full mana cement
Of the club.
Prof. Lucien NJ. Christol, a skilled ath-
letic instructor, is steadily employed and
presides over the gymnasium, drilling
the club members in the art of boxln5.
wrestling, fencing, club swinging AMI
dumb exercise, the classes beins
held on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur
day evenings of each week. and to this
privilege of the club there is attached
no extra expense to the members. Be-
sides the gymnasium on the lower floor
the club possesses pool and billiard
tables, while the upper floor comprises
the reception. reading and writing
rooms, all of which are elegantly fur
nished.
Plans are on foot for a smoker to lie
given about the middle Of May, at whit h
! time Professor Christol will give an ex-
hibition of the progress made by the
pupils in the class drills of the various
exercises. Another event arranged for
the future is a picnic and celebration, to
take place on July at Mountain View
park, and committees have already been
appointed to perfect plans for this oc-
| casion.
| The present membership of the club Is
nearly one hundred, and it is to be hoped
that under the new name and plan OF
reorganization this number will be in
creased many fold, more especially so
now that the eight-hour working shift
is so effectively in force at the smelters
| and elsewhere. thus giving the working
men an opportunity to enjoy little
social recreation.
| The Twentieth Century club will as
sumo all contracts made BY the Ana.
conda Catholic club, and it's object shall
be to promote the social. moral aud
physical opportunities of its members.

CON SMITH HOME FOR TRIAL
Suspected of Having Part in Park

dence Against Him.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, April 25.-Sheriff Conley re-
turned this morning from Pocatello
Idaho. having in custody Con Smith. who
vas apprehended there as being party
to the late robbery of the Kentucky
liquor store on East Park avenue, Ana
cCnda. The prisoner was taken before
Justice Kennedy at II o'clock. He plead
ell not guilty, and the case was set for
hearing next Tuesday. when Cassell ami
Johnson. the alleged accomplices will be
brought into the justice mill.
Sheriff COnley believes Smith has some
knowledge of the late hOld-up. although
the prisoner has said nothing to incrim-
mate himself since his capture. But
there are other circumstances connected
with the arrest which appear to be de-
C.dedly against him. For instance. a
hat was recovered very similar to the
one worn by the hOld-up. Another
strange phase of the case is the sudden
disappearance of Smith Immediately
after the robbery was committed. There
is other evidence in the possession of
the officers which leads them to believe
that Smith. if not the real robber. was
al least an accomplish.

ALL IDLE GOSSIP
NEW MAYOR IS HARASSED BY
ARMY OF 'I-TOLD-YOU-SO'S
LITTLE HOPE FOR DEMOCRATS
Change Is Needed in the City Govern
ment land Stephens Is the Man to
Make It-Keeps His Own Counsel
as to His Appointments-AC Com
plete Turn Over Coming.
(Snecial to Inter MOuntalnl

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, April 25.-There are some
persons going about town who declare
positively that they know what Mayor
elect Stephens appointments will be
when he reports them to the council
after the inauguration ceremonies on
May 9Th These persons seem to know
more about how the city government is
going to be conducted than the city aid
ermen themselves, If such is really the
case. But talk is cheap, sometimes, and
that is about all that can be said of the
stories being circulated by these learned
gentlemen.
1t is safe to say that with possibly
few exceptions, the aldermen do not
know what the new mayors recommen-
datiOns will be. Notwithstanding the eau
Gus held night before last. In fact, it
is quite doubtful if the mayor-elect
himself has made up his own mind en-
trely as regards to appointments; and
that being the case. makes it certain
that the talk now going the rounds is
fake, pure and simple.
Some republicans have been led to be-
lieve that the mayor-elect intends to
leave few democrats in Office, particu
larly on the police force. Men who, prior
to the last election, always exercised
all their power to defeat the success Of
the republican ticket, and would have
repeated it during the last campaign
had they not known that they stood no
show whatever to hold their jobs had
the Kelliher ticket triumphed. These
men may have voted for the republican
candidates at the last election. but fur
Their than that they are entitled to no
consideration, and it is not believed the
republican aldermen would countenance
ANYTHING nf tho kind
OF course, so far as known, Mayor
elect Stephens has not made any dec
laration that he int ended to retain large
portion of the democratic police force.
His innermost political friends do not be-
lieve he will, yet it is known that a GER
tain coterie of the unterrified are using
every influence they possess to bring
about no radical change in the police de-
partment.
complete change is needed in the po-
lice branch of the city government, and
1t would be a dangerous undertaking
for the new mayor to have any thing
else. The appointment of democrats
would bring about friction in the city
council, and in all probability the turn
ing down of the candidates
The mayor-elect has stated to several
however. that no one but good solid re-
publicans will receive appointments un-
der his administration. The party lead
ers sincerely hope he will carry out that
policy and they believe he will.

Anaconda, April 25.-Burglars entered
the Alaska saloon at No. SIS East Third
street early this morning and succeeded
in getting away with over $1,000 In cash
without leaving any clew to their ldenti-
ty. The burglary was committed between
the hours of 2 and $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing, the entrance being effected through
the large transOm over the front door.
after breaking the cast iron rod USED
as a lock. =.
The money was contained in a small
safe weighing 300 pounds, which the bur
glars picked up and carried away with
them, a distance of three blocks, to a
vacant lot near the Butte, Anaconda Il
Pacific tracks, In the vicinity of the Ur-
kuline convent and chopped hole IN
the back with an ak. They evidently
experienced little trouble in cutting the
hole, as there was only one thickness or
thin sheet iron and a tin lining to cut
through outside of the plaster paris fill
ing.
Three checks amounting to 1903 with
other papers, We're left in the safe UNI

Asfied with the large amount of ready
cash secured.
The saloon is owned by Frank Miller.
an Austrian, who has made Anaconda
his home for IL years. He returned from
q trip to Alaska last November and
opened the Alaska saloon three months
ago. Business has been good with him
and the money stolen this morning was
the accumulation of few weeks re-
ceipts. Mr.. Miller stated this morning
that it was not his custom to keep such
a large amount of money in the small
safe, but he had neglected for some time
