This book tells the story of Mr.. Lincoln's
life as it has never been told before. The
narrative presents him as man rather
than as an official. The history of the
war period abounds in incidents and anec
dotes told of him and by him.
There are thousands of incidents of Ills
associations with Hamlin, Steward, STAN
ton, Grant, Sherman, Porter, FaTagut.
Sumner, Chase, and all the other long ar
ray of political and military giants of the
time. No attempt is made to give his,

NO DAY SET.
Canal Sill Awaits England's Action
on the Treaty.

Washington, Jan. lS.-The repubii
can senators decided today not to
set day for taking up the Nicaragua
canal bill at least not at present. The
decision was unanimous. The eau
Gus was called largely because Sena-
tor Morgan's opportunities in behalf
of the bill and an effort was made to
effect satisfactory solution of the
problem. There was general ex-
change of views and many speeches
were made, but after all had been
said the senators concluded that so
long as Great Britain's attitude to-
ward the amendment to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is underlined, it
would not be wise to agitate the ques-
ton of the proposed canal.

Helena, Mont. Jan, lS.-There is

term senatorial deadlock. Todays
vote in joint assembly was the same
old fizzle. 1t is said by many that
the Heinze forces have shot their
bolt and quit, but there is so much
Jockeying going on that nothing is
certain. There were three absentees
in the senate and three in the house
today when the vote was cast. To-
morrow there will be many more.
There was a general desire to adj
journ over until Monday, but the law
requires a vote on the senatorship
each day until there is an election,
but the deadlock seems certain TO
go over to next week. Frank had a
net gain of one vote today, making

CORNELIUS ALVORD,
DefauIting Teller, Gets Thirteen
Years in the Penitentiary.


New York, Jan. 16. - Cornelius
Alevord, Jr., the defaulting note tell
er of the First National bank, was
today sentenced to thirteen years i'm
prisonment.
Judge Thomas, in imposing SEN
tence said he must take into consi.,-
Grafton that banks were trusted by the
public and the prisoner at the bar be-
trayed this trust.
he lhen sentenced him to eight
years in Sing Sing under count SO of
the indictment, which charged hi n
with making false entries in the
books of the bank ana five years ua-
Ger count so which charged him with
falsifying the clearing house sheet.
The five years sentence is to De.
I'm at the expiration of the eight
years. The maximum penalty for che

REPUBLICANS CAUCUS.
House and Senate Increase the Num-
ber of Clerks.

Helena, Jan. 1S.-The republicans
are holding their usual caucus tonight
though there are several absentees.
1t is expected to develope nothing Of
Importance. Both house and senate
spent sometime today increasing their
staffs of employees. The ladies must
be cared for, so committees that nev-
er before had clerks are to have them
now. A few economical members
don't like it. but the majority is
against them. Legislation will not
suffer for want of clerical help. Indi-
cations are that all the contests over
seats in the legislation are going to
be dropped. Apparently there is
nothing in them. They were brought
in the interests of the Clark people,
but were not needed and those who
are familiar with them say there is
no merit any way.

WILL BUILD A SPUR

Great Falls, Jan. 1S.-Positive and
definite information has been re-
ceived confirming the rumor that the
Great Northern has acquired control
of property which is the key to that OF
the Crows Nest Coal company, which
recently came into the possession Of
j. j. Hill. The draft covering the
amount of the purchase is now IN
the Union Bank of Canada, at Pin
cher Creek, awaiting arrival of the
deeds to the property. This pur-
chase, together with 10000 acres of
coal land at Pincher and other prop
critics at points between there and
Crows Nest, gives the Great North
ern complete control of all the coal
lands within radius of about so
miles from Livingston, embracing all
the best coal fields in Alberta.
That the Great Northern will now
build a road from Great Falls to eth
er Cut Bank or Blackfoot and from
that point through Browning, on
Blackfoot reservation, and from there
up to st. Mary's lake and Livingston
to connect with Crows Nest pass
branch of the Canadian Pacific is al
most an assured fact. The charter for
the building Of the road from the
Canadian line to Livingston has al
ready been granted.

do ALL THEY COULD.
But Mob Would Have Fought Whole
Arn1N.


Leavenworth, Kans., Jan. l6.-Otti-
cials responsible for the life of Fred
Alexander, the negro burned at the
stake yesterday, today began the pro
paration for their defense. The negro S
guilt of the assault and murder last
November of Pearl Forbes, which he
denied with his last breath they say,
was proven conclusively by the mans
own statements while held at the
Lansing penitentiary. This evidence
will be gathered and published
In addition Sheriff Everhardy said
had assaulted third girl at Stillings,
near here, was truth and that the
young woman had appeared at the
penltentiary before the start for
Leavenworth and positively identified
the negro as her assailant.
Sheriff Everhardy, who, together
with Warden Tomlison of the peniten-
tiary is responsible for the removal
of Alexander from the penitentiary,
offered his defense this morning. Last
night, overcome by the strain under
which he has worked since AleXan-
der's arrest, IIverhardy went to bed
and sent out word to newspaper men
that he was too i'll to make a state
ment. Today he said:
You have no idea what trial |

who condemn me should place them

When asked regarding the report
that he had begged Governor Stanley
for state militia, Sheriff Everhardy
said:

innocent lives lost The militia could

NOT YET CONFIRMED.
Harlan's Nomination for Attorney
General Hung Up.

General Hung Up.
Washington, Jan. 15-The nomina-
tion of James F. Harlan, of Chicago,
for attorney general of Porto Rico is
still hung up in the senate because
there is no one there to ask for it's
confirmation. Mr.. Pettigrew and sew
eral democrats are ready to object to
the confirmation of Mr.. Harlan land
talk against it as an improper effort
to influence the supreme court" but
they will not have the opportunity un-
til the nomination is called up in eX-
executive session.
Senator Foraker chairman of the
committee on Porto Rico, does not
feel called upon to ask for the con-
firmation of Mr.. Harlan, as he thinks
that should be done by one of the Ill
inOis senators, and Senator Mason
does not feel called upon for this SER
vice because he was not consulted by
President Mckinley before making it
or by the committee before reporting
it to the senate.
AS the nomination is in the senate
without any one responsible for it.
Senator Mason regards it with indif-
ference. There is also a mystery as
to how the nomination was reported
to the senate. The committee on
Porto Rico never considered it and it
was reported during the absence of
the chairman, Senator Foraker.
Some of the administration people
have asked Senator Mason to father
the nomination and ask for confirma-
tiOn but he says as it was made with
out consulting either Senator Cullom
or himself, and he understands, at the
suggestion of the controller of cur
rency, Dawes, it can wait until that
gentleman can appear in the execil-
tive session and ask for confirmation.
Mr.. Mason has no objection to Mr..
Harlan, but he is standing on his
rights as a senator and leaving the
nomination to the friends of the adj
ministration and it's opponents to dis
pose of as they see fit.
The nomination has become an en-
barrassing one to the administration
because there is no one to father it
in the senate. Had it been made at
the suggestion of a member of the
house Senator Mason would act for
that member, but, as it is, everybody
in the senate appears Indifferent to
it except Senator Pettigrew and other
opponents of the administration, who
desire to talk against It, using it as
a club with which to attack the presi.
dent.
