Clarke, while not too we'll pleased over
the agreement which allows American
association teams to reserve only five
players, does not believe it will be posi-
BILE for the National league to entirely

that when the five best men on the team

be few others any manager would want.

Business Block

Tomahawk, Wis, Jan. 26.-[Special ]
Fire destroyed the Wisconsin house,
owned by Peter Dali and was in a fair
way of destroying several business
houses, but by the hard work of fremen
the flames were confined to the hotel and
Oelhafen's grocery store. The loss will
be quite heavy, but is fully covered by
insurance. Ii seemed at one time as
though the entire block together with
the Mitchell hotel, the finest hotel in
northern Wisconsin, would have to go.

GREAT SCARCITY
!. Of DOMEST|CS
MONTANA HOMESEEKERS SAY
GOOD GIRLS ARE HARD
TO GET.
Even When Obtained They Do Not Re-
main Long, Preferring to Take
Positions as Wives When the
y Proper Men Come Along
General State News.

Billings, Aug. S.-While. at no time
plentiful, the same scarcity of domestics
which is now complained of by the
housekeepers of the city has never here
tofore been known to exist.
For some reason the girls who earn
their living as cooks and servants do not
seem to find their way to Billings. not
withstanding that the ruling wages here
are among the highest paid for similar
service anywhere in the west.
If an enterprising individual were to
arrange for the Importation of liberal
supply of good industrious girls he
could make a nice little profit off his
venture, as the demand existing is unu-
ally large.
The same condition seems to obtain
in other cities throughout the state, as
appeals made to Helena and other towns
for relief bring the reply that more
places exist there than can be filled and
that it is is seemingly impossible to Sc
cure help of the kind desired.
The trouble seems to be- said a resi-
dent that a girl is no sooner installed
in position than along comes a fellow
who wants a wife, and the wealth and
persuasive powers of the Montana bach
elor are a combination that no woman
at all endowed with the susceptibilities
of her sex can Withstand"

Early History Recalled
By w. Glagett'S Death

When he had finished Clagett was called
for. AS l remember, he appeared in
buckskin hunting shirt, picturesque
type of western civilization. That fall he
was chosen without respect to party
utilization to the state legislature.
The day he left keokuk he was mar
ried to Miss May Hart, niece of Gov
ernor Morton of Indiana. She met him
while he was member of the legislature
at Carson City in the fall of 1862.
HE wrote to w. w. Dixon to join him
at Virginia City. Dixon crossed the
plains that year to meet his friend. In
1865 Clagett moved to Virginia City,
New, and was candidate for delegate
to congress before the republican con-
ventiOn. He was defeated.
I'm 1866 he settled in Deer Lodge, Mon
tana. He was a delegate to congress
from Montana in 1871 on the republican
ticket. In 1874 he went to Dakota and
became the attorney of the HOmestake
Mining company. While in Washington
preparing to argue mining case before
! the supreme court, he was stricken with
sunstrOke and never fully recovered from
the effects of the attack. He moved from
Deadwood to Salt Lake City and thence
to Portland, Oregon, for the benefit of
his health.
''Clagett canvassed the southeast for
Douglas as early as 1860, when he was
| % years old, and was considered to be an
orator of singular elOquence at that time.
| Clagetts father was an old time whig.
After the party disbanded, he became a
| Douglas democrat. At the close Of the
civil war he aided in forming what was
known as the union party in Iowa, and
| Clagett was elected to the Iowa state
senate on that ticket. He remained a
I member of that party until 1868. In the
spring Of that year he paid visit tC
friends in Maryland.
| notwithstanding statements to the
contrary. Clagett was strong union
man. He was a republican until the sill
Yer issue became a prominent factor ir
politics when he became what is known
as a silver republican, such as Town'
and Hartman.
'Clagett was a man of strong views
He was a warm friend, but he neve
compromised with an enemy. The speed
he made in the United States senate il
ontesting the seat of Dubois was praised
and it was accepted as the greatest eff
fort made for many years in the Unite
4 States senate.

Helena's first postmaster, has returned
from his third trip to Alaska, and this

After he had started from Nome. this

his life in the icy water. He was res

, exceptionally poor health, owing to the
extreme hard climate Of the north, he is
very glad to get home.

many years to come, but man earns

Nome, unlike Dawson, where men can
work and pile out pay dirt during the

is distinctly a summer camp, owing to
the shallowness of the diggings.
THE season is very short, and the
scarcity of timber and fuel is another
great drawback. There is not stick of
timber as large as man finger in the
whole country, except what is shipped
in.
There has been some coal found which,
while not Of a very superior quality, Will

Helena, Aug. ST have known w. H.
Clagett since his boyhood," said United
States District Judge Hiram Knowles
yesterday. He was born in Maryland
in 1898; l think in the county of Prince
George. His family was one of con-
siderable reputation on the eastern
shore of that state, and had settled there
before the time of the revolutionary
war.
THE branch of the family to which
W. II. Clagett belonged was intensely
patriotic and was noted for it's sympathy
with the cause of independence. believe
the family originally spelled the name
with two g's instead of one. The one g
Clagetts were patriots. His grandfather
was an extensive planter and owned a
great many slaves. Thomas H. Clagett,
the father of w. H., chose the legal pro-
fession and in 1S47 or 1913 moved to Keo-
kuk, Iowa, when w. H. was about four
teen years Of age, and where he received
most of his education. His father formed
partnership with George c. Dixon.
Esq. the father of w. w. Dixon, in the
practice of law. This became one of the
leading professional firms in southern
Iowa. Somewhere about 1856 or 1851
Thomas II. Clagett was elected district
Judge for the southern district of Iowa.
For a number of years he occupied that
position.
owing to the partnership of their
fathers, Clagett and W. w. Dixon, being
