DEER DYING IN MONTANA.

Hunters who have recently returned to Butte from trips to various points in the state where game is usually plen- tfful report that many dead deer are found. the cause of the fatalities being mysterious. Authorities in such mat ters disagree as to the cause, but it is admitted on all sides that more dead deer have been reported to have been seen this year than in any previous year.
 It has been widely reported among stockmen that anthrax was becoming prevalent among deer, and as many of them run with the cattle and feed with them on the ranges. there has been much apprehension that thereby the disease might be spread among the stock There has as yet, however. been no authentic reports of the remains of deer showing signs Of having died with that disease. Most cattle men are able to detect subjects that were afflicted with anthrax through the invarIable accompaniment of gangrenous swell ings.
 The fatalities among deer were not nearly so numerous last month as after the late rains in August and in the early part of September. This strengthens the belief of many that the deaths were caused by the deer eating poisonous weeds that are said to spring up along the streams following wet

I the present ratio of gold per capita to l the worlds population Is maintained,
 money will be ample for all the needs
 of business and good times will con-
 tinue.
 But just as soon as the limit of gold
 development is reached, and it's pro- duction decreases-and that is inevit- able-then the whole world will ex- perience another dreadful period of hard times. which are always due pri- | marily to scarcity of money. That was
 the case in this country between 1s4O | and 1850. and would have been the case now, but for the unexpected increase of gold production. The hard times of 1Si0- 50 were relieved only by the quick and marvellous development of the Cal ifornia gold fields. which flooded the world with that precious metal for use as primary money. and brought a long period of prosperity. Such facts as these prove beyond doubt the superior ity of a bimetallic over a mononetallic money system. in that 1t establishes the quantitative rather than the qualative money theory. I do not pretend to say how long it will be before gold produc- tion will begin to decrease and the world again will suffer from currency contraction, but l do know when that occurs the issue of bimetallism-or the quantitative rather than the qualita tive theory of money-will again be- come alive and irrepressible."
 There is cold comfort indeed for democrats in the arguments whereby Senator Jones lets himself down easy" For. long before there is another op- rortunity to thrive on calamity the democracy will have forgotten the ex- istenoe of silver. Consequently 1t is a gloomy outlook for the political party whose only reliance for return to power is the silver question and "anti-im- perialisrr.''

WHERE IS THE FOOL KILLER?
Here Is Case for Him If the Coroner
 Doesn't Cut In.

Chicago.-At 12:3 30 o'clock Wednesday
 afternoon. on the State street side of
 the Masonic temple, Jehan Bedini, late
 of London. and now sojourning in Chicago, proposes to defy all known laws of gravitation by catching a tur-
 nip hurled from the top of the sky
 scraper. The feat. one which has baf- fled professional ball players with
 heavy gloves. will be rendered doubly difficult by the fact that Bedini will
 undertake to spear the turnip upon the prongs of a fork. the handle or the
 fork being grasped between the teeth
 of the Englishman, who will use his hands for no purpose except to prop i himself should the shock of the blow
 be so great as to knock him down. Ac-
 cording to old school books and to the
 generality of scientific critics. the feat
 to be attempted by Bedini is a physical and natural impossibility.
 1 A high school professor who was asked his opinion of the performance
 said that 1t would be impossible to ac- curately judge the descent of the fall ing turnip. and that when it struck, it's ] force, augmented with each additional l foot of the downward flight, would be so great that the turnip would burst to | pieces against the face of the catcher. caving in his features and probably killing him as quickly as an electric shock.
 The Englishman admits that there is | much logic in the scientific view, but says that he is not there to receive the turnip on his face. but on the fork. 'I shall have the turnip wrapped with string first said Bedini yester- day. ito hold it together when 1t strikes, and keep 1t from bursting against the tines of the temporary understand ha will be a candidate for the marble slab if the thing hits me in the eye or on the forehead, but I have practiced year after year just to see if the feat were possible. There are a few Jumps on my face now which were raised by vegetables dropped from much shorter heights during my experimental days" Bedini's determination to do the Ma sonic temple stunt rose from a bit of banter at a Cincinnati hotel. Joe Fields. the comedian. who had seen the Englishman amusing himself by ] impaling small objects on a fork. dared him. on a good sized bet, to take a chance with a turnip thrown from the highest Cincinnati building.
 Bedini in the presence of 1000 people and various Cincinnati scribes speared the turnip falling from a building 312 feet high. The shock knocked him flat and filled his mouth with blood but did not make him drop the turnip. The bet was then renewed. with the taller Masonic temple as the next field of ac- tion. and $500 of each mans money Is now in the safe of down town hotel awaiting the result of Wednesdays ad- venture.
 Yesterday Bedini. who was never in Chicago before. went out and studied the temple. Its vast height did not seem to worry him. and he bothered the custodians till he gained permission to try his feat. Big building" was the way he expressed his opinion. but I've caught three turnips in succession off the Brighton Eiffel tower. $50 feet above the ground

A Washington dispatch states that although there is a good deal of latent
 opposition among the HE leaders of congress, NEW particularly in the DEPARTMENT senate, to the propo-
 sition for the crea- ton of a new cabinet portfolio to be known as the department of commerce. it is generally regarded as highly prob able that the required legislation will be enacted at the coming session. It is known that the president will strong ly recommend it in his message. and that the large manufacturing and other business interests of the country, that were represented in the national re- ciprocity convention last week. will send influential delegations to Washington this winter to urge inn mediate favorable action upon it. The subject has been discussed in some form by every congress for the last ten or twelve years. so that it is very we'll understood by the national law makers.
 However, there does not yet seem to be very well defined idea as to what will be the scope of the new de- partment's authority and functions. That it will relieve the treasury of con- siderable work now peculiarly within the sphere of that department is un- derstood. especially with regard to the collection and dissemination of com mercial statistics, information in de- tail as to foreign tariffs, the merchant marine, etc. It is also expected that the consular service, which now be- longs to the state department, will be transferred to the department of com merce. Secretary Hay favors this. us do also those who favor putting the consular service under the civil service rule. Then. again, the agricultural de partment may have some Of its rapid ly growing work put upon the new department, especially that feature which touches foreign matters, like the establishment of animal quarantines, etc.
 It is thought that the act creating the new department will be passed at the early stage Of the forthcoming con gress in which event President Roose- welt in a few months will have to se- lect the first secretary of commerce. As yet there are no avowed candidates for the portfolio. though it is expected that it will not be long before several names for the position will be pre- scented to the president for considera- ton. In view of the fact that the east is the main center of the country's commerce, it is believed that the new officer will be chosen from that part of the country.

When Senator Jones of Nevada

When Senator Jones of Nevada de- serted the silverites they lost the
 ablest man in their JONES' ranks. Although the REASONS. silver question was
 worn threadbare in the congressional debates years ago. there has never been a time that a speech from the Nevada senator failed to hold the attention of a crowded senate. In deed. it is doubtful if there was an- other member of that body who was uniformly listened to with such marked and respectful attention. The defer ence thus shown to him was not be- cause of his eloquence or peculiar tall ents as a speaker. On the contrary, Senator Jones makes no pretensions to oratory. He usually speaks in a quiet conversational tone. and is fond of straight. simple English. The close at tention always paid to his speeches on silver was because he was recognized as the ablest advocate of the silver heresy in either. branch of congress. Some of his speeches in favor of sill yer have been translated into the prin- cipal languages of Europe, and in Eng land especially, Arthur Balfour and the other bi-metallic leaders regard Senator Jones as this country's most in- tellectual champion of the white metal. For our friends. the democrats of Ari- zona who still believe that silver is an issue, there will therefore, we fear, be little comfort in reading Senator Jones' reasons for returning to the repub- lican party:
 "I have never felt at home in the other party, and now that the course of events has destroyed bimetallism as an issue I have no sympathy whatever with democratic principles. I joined the republican party at it's birth. and have never had any difference with it except on the coinage question. It is the only organized constructive force in the nation, and it's economic pol icies have brought the country up from a position among the nations of the second class to place at the head of the worlds great powers. I realize, however. that the republican party
 
 lism. The settlement of that question is only temporary. in an historical sense, and this settlement was effected by no political party. but by unex- pected developments in mankind's never ceasing search for gold.
 At the present time the worlds pro- duction of gold is greater than was the combined product of gold and silver when I carried my fight for the restora- tion of free coinage to the extent of quitting the republican party. The de- velopment Of the gold fields of Alaska Australia and other parts of the earth has given to the world enough of that metal for all the present needs of pri- mary money. I am convinced that the gold field of Alaska has only been scratched thus far. so that we can look for an increased production of gold for some time yet. As long as the increase of gold production keeps pace with the increase of population, or

weather in the early fall. The white tail deer that feed in low, marshy places where the weeds grow in abun- dance are said to have been especially affected. most, if not all, of the dead animals encountered being of that species.
 Several hunters have recently re- turned to Butte from the chase with sets of deer horns, and no venison. To their most intimate friends they have admitted that they did not kill the deer but found them dead and bore away the horns. In most instances, as was stated, the remains of the deer gave the appearance that they had been dead for several rnonths.-Butte Miner.

The percentage of killed and wounded among those who were inn prisoned was tremendous. and none of the survivors would care to repeat the experience and run the chances of an- lihilation.
