SERIOUS BLOW TO LESSEES
Outside Shippers Advised to Not De-
pend Upon the Colorado
Smelter.

Present appearances indicate that the
Colorado Mining company does not in
tend to start up it's smelter again in
the near future. In order that those
who have been shipping ore to the
works of the company may know that
Their is no immediate prospect OF re-
sumption Superintendent r. F. Pearce
has sent outside shippers the following
letter:
arrangements have now been COM
pleted by the Anaconda Copper Mining
company for the proper sampling ana
handling of the custom ore, heretofore
sent to the Colorado Smelling & Mining
company, in Anaconda instead OF at the
Montana Sampling works. in Butte.
You will please, therefore, bill Whatever
ore or concentrates you may wish to
send, direct to Anaconda. The sampling
of this ore will be carefully attended to
there, and I will be glad to have you, or
any representative you may designate
personally examine their methods. BY
this change there will be less delay in
furnishing you returns on your ore
sampled and think you Will hnd
everything done there to your complete
satisfaction"
The change is serious blow to les
sees in Butte, as it will necessitate the
payment of freight charges on their ore
provided they decide to accept the Ana
conda works as market, but it will not
affect shippers in outside districts who
have been sending their product to the
Colorado. For years the Colorado COM
pany has been the greatest buyer OF
| custom ore in Butte, lessees and lndi-
yidual owners Of mines finding ready
market at it's works for their product
| 1t is a we'll known fact that many pa
! irons of the Colorado whose mines were
| profitably operated prior to the shut
down have, since the fires were drawn
from the of the re smea,ef s0 a,
the works. hut it is quite possible thai
when they learn the true Nndition o.
AFFAIRS they will endeavor to hnd
market elsewhere and resume the eN
traction of ore from their mines.

Over Bad Assault Case.

The case of assault upon small
lad referred to in another column OF
to-day's issue, was brought up before
Justice Rice to-day and the defend
ants in the case are Mrs. Mike Sholtes
and son, Mike, Jr. They were ar
raigned and in default of S400
bond were sent to jail to await
trial Monday at two O'Clock. The
neighborhood in which the outrage
occurred is up in arms and had not
the officers appeared at the time they
did the people of the surrounding
country would have taken the law
in their own hands and mobbed
the mother and the brother
of the injured lad. Five site hes
were necessary to close the
wound made near the heart of the
little fellow by the cruel knife. The
boy is being cared for by neighbors.
He will not be permitted to go back
to his home. There are two smaller
children who willIbe cared for by the
officers of the county.
The wounded boy after his escape
from the mother and brother ,crawled
in half conscious condition to the
house of his benefactor. His head
had been terribly pounded by club
in the hands of the mother and is yet
badly swollen, The boy states that
if he goes back home he will be killed,

TALKS ON SOCIOLOGY
DR.. Howerth Opens University
Extension Course.

The first lecture of the Chicago Uni
yersity Extension course OF lectures
in 0skaloosa was given at the High
school building Friday evening and
was one of the best and most instruct
i've lectures that have been given in
the city for some time. d There was
not as large crowd present as had
been hoped for but every one in at
tendance enjoyed the evening thor
oughly. DR.. Ira w. Howerth, the
speaker, is an ideal lecturer and has
an air about him which captivates his
audience at once. His knowledge of
his subject and his clear, easy deliv-
cry makes his talk intensely interest
ing and anyone who attends the course
will be amply repaid. Friday nights
lecture was more of an Introductory
adore ss than otherwise and was ex-
ceedingly humorous. Mr.. Howerth
illustrates every point with story so
apt and exactly fitted to the occasion
that the interest and attention OF his
audience are held to the very last.
Prof. Finley and Miss Mae j. Evans
also gave short talks pertaining to the
course and the subject in general.
The lectures will be given every alter
nate Friday night and everyone would
do well to attend whether interested
in Sociology or not.
The speaker handled the central
topic under three divisions namely:
Social Unity, Social Growth and So
cial Service. Social unity, the organ
ic conception of society, society, and
obviously our Nation, is a unite in
the sense that it's members are bound
together by common interests, ideals
and obligation. Effect of this con-
ception on social study. Social growth
-socie ty and all its institutions are
subject to the laws of evolution; con-
sequently they must be regarded as
growtbs as we'll as conscious organ
izations. Social service-the highest
interests of the individual can be
realized only in an ideal socleJy;hence
Social service is prompted by en-
lightened selfishness.
The general social question is the
ever-present problem of human vel
fare. How to equalize social enjoy
ment as question of liberty. The
struggle against nature, the struggle
against ignorance, the struggle
against selfishness. Then the awaken
ing of fear the perversion of thought
the opposition of knowledge, the re
ngious Phase, the political phase and
the economic phase.
At the close of the lecture a stud!
, class with eighteen members was or
ganized. Rev. A. Cato Kaye wa
elected leader. The class will NEE
each alternate Friday evening, OF
the nights when there will be no lee
lures. The first meeting will be hell

COURT HOUSE HEAT.
steam Plant OyerhauIed and Made as
Good as New.

The heating for the court house has
been completely overhauled and re-
built and is now one of the best
pieces of work of the sort that is to
be found in the city. 1t was neces-
sary to lower the boilers on account
of the heating of the new jail building
to the east of the court house and
the task was no small one. The work
has been completed and is now in
operation to the great relief of the
court house people who have been
Inconvenience during the recent
cool spells on account of lack of heat.
Much new plumbing and connecting
was necessary on account of the
changes in the boiler and the COM
pIetion of the work required consider
able time,
The contract for the work was held
by Pat Mansfield, which fact in itself
was a guarantee that the work would
be we'll done. Mr.. Mansfield had a
difficult job but he has finished all of
the work in a manner that leaves no
ground for criticism. The gentleman
has been complimented upon all sides
for the excellence and thoroughness
of the work done.
