Butte, Aug. HAIRY Armstead, the
young New Yorker who tried to kill
himself in a Pullman coach here last
week, was sufficiently recovered to re-
turn home today with his father and
mother who arrived in Butte yester.
day for that purpose.
There has been good deal of talk
about the attempted suicide of Arm

could not stand the pace set by Butte's
gilded youth and was suffering from
too much champagne. He will re-
cover, but will be badly SCARED. He
was formerly fine looking. kilograms

his wealthy companion, George w.
Fletcher, of Philadelphia, come in by
the dozens daily.

the children of well-to-do parents. be-
cause of the presents which such
youngsters brought them.

DAILY ESTATE INHERITANCE TAX
State Will Receive More Than $4,000
From <ha Adnotnie% ra$rix

State Will Receive More Than $4,000
From the Administrative.
Something more than $4,000 is the
amount of Inheritance tax to be
paid on the estate of the late Marcus
DAILY, says the Anaconda Standard.
Clerk of the Court Thomas yesterday
rendered report to that effect to
Judge Napton and it was approved.
He based his figures on the invento-
ries of the estate that have been pre-
pared by the appraisers appointed
soon after the will was filed for pro-
bate. Under the state inheritance
law, as interpreted by the supreme
court in a decision several years ago,
Inheritance tax can be collected only
on personal property and not on real
ty. The $4,000 tax hence is based
only on the valuation of the personal
property.
The money will be paid over at
once. The law provides that 60 per
cent of it shall go to the state and
40 per cent to the county in which
the testator had his residence. Hence
a sum in excess of $4,000 will 60 to
the state, while about $4,000 will go
to the county.
At the time of Mr.. Daly's death
Deer Lodge and Powell counties were
one. Hence Powell county will share
in the $35.0O0. 1t has been determin-
ed that SO IL per cent belongs to
Deer Lodge and the remainder to Pow
ell county. On this basis Deer Lodge
will receive between $24,OO and $685.
900 and Powell county will receive the
remainder.
The county treasurer of Deer Lodge
county will receive the money and
make the proper distribution.

Special Dispatch to the Bee:
Missoula, Mont, Aug. Harry
Turner, also known as Irish" Turner
in theater circles, was shot and killed
tonight about o'clock by Henry No
den, while the former was in the act
of beating his wife. Turner was well
known in vaudeville houses. The
Turner's have been living some weeks
in small cabin near the head Of
Dead Mans gulch, where are collected
few other cabins occupied by wood
haulers and choppers, among whom
was Modem. When Modem returned
home from work this evening he heard
cries for help issuing from his STEP
daughters house. AS Turner had been
in the habit of beating his wife and
had been warned by Modem that upon
a recurrence Of the practice death
would be his punishment, Modem seiz-
ed a shotgun and hastened to Turner's
cabin. His daughter was still scream
ing pitifully and Modem, peering
through the window. fired point blank
at the wife beater and lodged the
contents of both barrels in his breast,
making frightful wound, of which
Turner died within few seconds.
After first taking his wife's hand and
saying Good bye, mamma, am 60
ing" Modem came to Missoula and
surrendered to the sheriff, who, to-
gether with the coroner, proceeded at
once to the scene Of the tragedy. A
young sister of Mrs. Turner was :
witness to the quarrel between the
husband and wife and to the beating.
She says she was visiting her sister
from an adjacent cabin when Turner
came in and wanted to change his
underclothing in her presence. The
wife demonstrated upon the impropri-
ETY. and after few words Turner
slapped his wife, who retaliated with
a blow with shirt waist. Turner
seized stick and was striking at his
wife when the fatal shot was fired.
The wife accompanied the sheriff and
coroner to Missoula, while in the wag-
on beneath her seat lay the bloody
remains of her husband. The woman
during the journey to town was half
crazed by grief and inveighed bitter
ly against her step-father and broke
into passionate utterances of affection
for her dead husband, saying their
quarrels were nobody's business but
hers. Mrs. Turner also makes grave
charges against her step-father, who
married her mother eleven years ago.
Mrs. Turner was then eight years old
and she says Modem was guilty of
atrocious conduct toward her and that
she finally left his house on account of
it. Turner was musician and his
father is a merchant in Ord, Neb.
Mrs. Turner has been acting at variety
shows at Billings, Helena and other
towns. The inquest will be held to-
morrow.

EPwoRrH LEAGUE SPECIAL.
Has Baggage Car Loaded With Beer.
Leaguers In Name Only.

6S0SOSUo III VotUO OUuys
An Epworth league special train
with about 200 excursionists and a
baggage car full of beer, pretzels and
limburger cheese, carried as refresh
ments, passed through Butte yesterday
on the way east. The party was made
up of the jolliest lot of 'leaguers"
that visited the west during the pres
ent Epworth movement, but they were
leaguers in name only. There were
of the New York Schuetzen corps and
their friends. A majority of them are
also members of the famous Arion So
ciety of New York, which makes up
several excursions to different parts
of the world every year. They took
advantage of the Epworth league ex-
cursion rates to San Francisco, and
the biggest party ever sent out by
fun-seeking Germans of New York
came west for sightseeing. They have
been routed as one of the "Epworth
league specials" and 1t is related that
some very amusing errors happened
on account of it. Upon their arrival
in San Francisco they were received
by the local committee, but when the
committee got sight of the contents
of the baggage car the Schuetzen par
ty was dropped. They enjoyed it.,
and had all the laugh on their side.
Some of the Butte leaguers had also
intended to call on the party and as
sist in making their stay in Butte
pleasant, but they escaped making
the amusing mistake by the fact that
the arrival of the excursionists was
delayed. They stopped at the depot
only long enough to send the steward
up town to get new stock of beer,
and then they left for the National
|park.-Standard.

Clerks In the War Office.
London, Aug. There Is no new
phase in Mr.. Broderick's singular at
tempt to discipline newspapers sus-
pected of obtaining the secrets of the
war Office by improper means. The
law arms him with full resources for
furnishing not only the clerks betray-
ing the confidence of the department
but also those who hire them to do 1t.
Those conversant with the ordinary
procedure of the war Office are anus
ed by Mr.. Broderick's disingenious ef-
fort to discredit his own staff by
charging certain newspapers with cor
rupting clerks with moderate in
comes. The real source of leakage is
we'll known. Whenever important dis.
patches are held over in the war Office
for twenty.four or forty-eight hours.
there is gossip among military men
who received their cues from high Off
cials. Confidential matters which are
whispered in the military clubs soon
reach the ears of the journalists and
find their way into print. This is the
natural explanation of many disclos-
ures which Mr. Broderick attributes
to bribery on the part of the newspa-
pers. The best safeguard against this
leakage would be the immediate pub
lication of the bulletins received from
South Africa before the higher ofii.

GOVERNMENT RAILROADS.

New Zealand builds her own rail-
roads. The number of miles now in
operation is about $4,000. The pay
on the railroads average about 30 per
cent higher than the wages on our
American roads. The railway hands
have an eight-hour work-day. You
can ride thirty miles for ten cents
and first-class service is rendered the
people. The annual net profit of the
New Zealand railroads is an average
of $2,250,000. There are 5000 men
employed, and the government con-
tinues to extend the system. The men
elect their own foreman. Workmen
engaged on public works secure a rs
per cent reduction in rates for them
selves and families when away from
home.
An employe can never procure en-
ployment through preference, nor can
he be discharged. Every one is I'M
der civil service regulations RICHLY
enforced. No rebates to any persons
with a pull" no free passes. For
twenty years the government has
owned and operated railways. The
profits go to the public treasury and
building extensions and improving the
present system.
The roads have been built and
equipped for $4,000 mile, though 1t
is mountainous country, and wages
and materials are both very high.
Work on the railways is carried on by
cooperative groups of workmen, who
take section together and divide the
contract payments (Which are liberaD
equally among the members of the
group. The daily wage for eight hours
work is $175 to 50.

Secretary Gage has recently I'M
bosomed himself to gathering of
bankers, as follows:
Permit me to summarize into sew
eral brief propositions an expression
of my own financial convictions:
II believe it to be the most desir-
able that the demand liabilities of the
government known as legal tender
notes should be put in the way of re-
tirement and cancellation.
II believe that our system of bank
note circulation can be and ought to
be so modified as to make it more re-
sponsive to commercial and industrial
requirements, without any increase of
risk to the bill holder.
l believe that beyond acting as a
guardian and trustee for the people in
relation to national banks the govern
ment guaranty to bank note issues
should cease.
II believe that public moneys in eI-
cess of reasonable working balance
for daily use should be deposited in
national banks. That simple and
safe system of distribution of funds
can be devised have no doubt.
Il believe that in periods OF national
peace and prosperity the public reve-
pue should be somewhat in excess of

ENGLAND's LABOR TROUBLES.

England also has labor troubles, but
over there the courts are called upon
to settle many of the issues involved
The House of Lords Is the highest
judicial tribunal in the kingdom, and
this august body has recently decided
some knotty misunderstanding the
rights of employers and employees and
the legal status of trades unions
which may be of interest over here.
For instance. the Lords have decided
that a labor union, though not incor-
porated, may be sued for damages for
the acts of its members. In accord
ance with this decision suit has been
brought against unicn of railway en-
ployes by a railway company to re-
cover 100000 damages for injuries
done to the company's property during
a strike. On the other hand, the same
court has decided that where an act
is lawful in itself the motive with
which it is done is immaterial. To in
duce master to discharge servant, or
to induce a person not to employ a
,ervant, though done maliciously and
resulting in injury to the servant. does
not give him any cause for action"
The effect of this decision Is to legal
ize both threats to strike and threats
to lockout as coercive measures. 1t
Is a two-edged sword cutting both
ways.

public expenditure and that the sur
plus revenue should be applied to the
reduction of the public debt"
Mr.. Gage wants the greenbacks re-
tired, because when that is done. there
will be room for more national bank
notes. He wants the government to
withdraw the requirement that the
banker shall secure his notes unques-
tionably by deposit Of bonds. When
that Is done, the wild cat era will again
be close at hand, says the Central
Farmer.
The second and third paragraphs OF
his "beliefs" above show that he Is
past master in diplomacy" (Which is
the art OF using words to conceal
ideas) for the gist of those items Of
his creed, is that the banks should be
allowed to conduct their business with
only perfunctory supervision or
guardianship. but without compelling
security to bill holders. There is now
no actual security to depositors, and
II we remove the requirements of Sc
curity to note holders, chaos will soon
appear. Now add to those brilliant
ideas the other one that follows, Of
depositing all excess treasury funds in
the pet national banks" 1t will be
seen that the scheme involves all the
uncertainty and weakness that caused
Jackson to overthrow the U. S. bank
n nd xxrtth h. to
from banks that were not sound. AS
a national wrecker Mr.. Gage is en-
titled to front rank.
