Washington, March 6.-The members
of the cabinet We're sworn in today in
the cabinet room at the white house.
The ceremony was entirely informal, no
enc being present except the president,
Chief Justice Fuller who administered
the oath, and Secretary Cortelyou. The
members stood around the cabinet ta-
bic and with uplifted hands, repeated
after the chief justice the oath of allie
glance. After extending to each one
and to the president, mutual congratu-
lations, Chief Justice Fuller withdrew.
For aobut half an hour afterwards the
memebers of the cabinet consulted over
appointments. The appointment of war
claim commissioners and the st. Louis
exposition commission will be made very
shortly. In addition some other ap-
pointments We're made.
Although official announcement of the
fact is withheld for the present in order
t oavoid an adverse influence upon Mr..
Meiklejohn's contest before the Ne
braska legislature. it is known here that
Col. VIM. Carey Sanger of New York,
has accepted the post of assistant, sec
retay of war to succeed Mr.. Meiklejohn.

rlace toward the end OF this month.

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
Opposition to All But Those With
South America.

Washington. March 6.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
authorized favorable report upon the
supplemental treaty between the United
States and Frame, extending for one
year the TINE within which the reel
procity treaty between the countries
may be ratified. The original agree
ment fixed the time of expiration at
the oath of March, 1900, and the supple
mental treaty extends it until the Oath
of the present month. The original
treaty was reported more than a year
ago.
There was some discussion in the
committee as to whether there should
be an effort to have the reciprocity
treaties pending in the senate acted
rcon al this session. but no definite
, conclusion was reached. The most gen
eral opinion seemed to favor considera-
ton of the treaties to which little OBJ
lection is made. which are those with
South and Central American republics.
There is considerable opposition to both
the English and French reciprocity
treaties.
All of the reciprocity treaties will ex-
pire by limitation before the next ses-
sion of congress.

Missoula this morning, having in charge.
heavily manacled, James Macarthur, the
accused murderer of Oliver Dotson. who
was captured last night near Florence.
Macarthur stolid!y denies any connection
with the murder, but admits being at
Dotson's home recently.
The story of the capture recites the
old story Of "a woman in the case"
While convict at the penitentiary. Nc
Arthur was known to have commune
cation with Margaret Berry, an old
flame at Bozeman. who later removed to
a ranch near Florence. Sheriff Mcmahon
pursued this clue. only to be informed
that the Berry family had left this Sec
ton. Later this was found to be mis-
take, and the prisoner was found at the
Berry home. Minor Berry, the father,
denies all knowledge of McArthur's crime
and states that Macarthur showed him a
paper containing an account of the
tragedy. which was explained as havins
reference to another Macarthur. The
capturing posse took the prisoner un-
awares as he was retiring for the night.
He attempted to escape through the
window, but desisted when ordered by
Frank Conley, who stood below with
a rifle Deputy Sheriff John Kendall en-
tered the room and Macarthur quietly
submitted to being handcuffed. The pris-
| oner will be taken to the Anaconda JAN,

EEIN,E IS STILL SEEKING A
DUMP FOR HIS TA1LINGS
FROM SHELTER.
cEcITES ALLEGED HISTORY
OF A FORMER DEAL
Wants the Butte & Boston to Execute
q Deed for the Ground Wanted
Restraining Order Issued.

The Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany and the Johnston company revived
their old suit against the Butte and
Boston Mining company in the district
court to-day in regard to a failing ana
Stag dumping site for Heinze's smelter
and concentratOr at MeaderNllle. A
suit Win a similar object in view was
heard in Judge Ciapcy's court about
two years ago and it resulted in COM
mission appraising the value of the
property coveted by HeinZe at $4,000
Then another commission took whirl
at it and reduced the figure somewhat,
hut still the price did not suit the plain
tiffs. So they now come up smiling again
for another go. The complaint in the
case is long winded one. covering -
pages of typewriter matter planked by
about fifteen pages of stuff called 'eX-
hibits." Among other things the COM
plant alleges that in 1892, r. A. HeinZe
sold to the Butte and Boston company
for $4,000 a piece of ground on which the
concentrator of the NJ. o. 2. company
stands, the understanding being that
Heinze would have the right to pay rent
for the ground and dump tailings from
the concentrator on some ground con-
tiguous to it: that Heinze began dumping
talings and Stag on the ground, and
continued to do it until 1885, that in 1892
the defendant agreed to sell HeinZe a
piece Of ground for $4,000 at any time
within five years. for smelter building
purposes. The land has an area of ten
acres. The plaintiffs further allege that
in the written understanding between
HeinZe and the Butte and Boston COM
pany in 1892 relative to the lease of the
ground for smelling purposes an intend
ed clause relating to the use Of some
ground for Stag and failing dumping
purposes was omitted.
In conclusion the plaintiff asks the
court to make an order reforming the al.
legged contract of 1892 in such way that
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
can dump Stag. tailings or any old
thing on the Butte and Boston com.
pany's ground. The plaintiffs also ash
the court to adjudge them entitled Il
the property on the payment of $50 90
and compel the defendant to eXecut
them a deed to it. AS a finale the plain

REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT
1T seems Incredible" says the Sun
flower Tocsin, that twenty years ago
Sunflower county had no railroad, no
steam gin and buggy was a curiosity:
her courthouse and Jail were wooden
structures, that to-day would not cost
over $500, and there was not exceeding
$4,000 acres of land in cultivation.
ITO day we have over 100000 acres
under cultivation, a bank with So
600, two fine oil mills, $4,000 court
house and Jail, eighty miles of railroad,
five fine overlooking artesian wells,
complete telephone system. The rate
of interest has dropped from 10 to s
per cent, while our population has in
creased from 1000 to 10000.
"Where is there another county in
the State which can make such a show
ing? Investors are pouring in every
day. and the cry is land, land, land,
Where can | get some land?' Land
that ten years ago sold at from 81 to
$50 per acre now commands a ready
sale at ST to $3.50 per acre. 1t is no
boom, but the solid development of one
of the richest counties in our great
delta. Yet, just think of it, we still
have $4,000 acres of undeveloped land.
What a chance there is here for in
vestments"

At st. Joseph, Mo, four students, all
in their teens, attacked their teacher
with pocket knives because he had
reprimanded one of them. The pro
fessor, who was principal of the city
schools, died from the effects of the
wounds. At Charlottesville, Ind, be
cause the professor of Wabash College
refused to dismiss recitations in OBJ
servance OF Founders Day the stu
dents revolted and raised Cain" gen
orally so that the school was broken up
for the day. These two instances of
defiance of authority may be regarded
as pointers to a time in which this
land will be filled with woe if the spirit
of anarchy is not quenched in the
minds of the young. The mother Of
a four- year old once asked IA sage:
when shall | begin to control my
ch!ll?" Madam" said h.. IF you
have not begun already, you have lost

An effort is being made to secure a
pardon for James NJ. Benson, who was
convicted of completely in the cele-
brated treasury robbery of Franklin
county which occurred four or five
years ago. After the board of super.
visors of that county had offered a re
ward for the robbers, Benson was
arrested, tried and convicted. Several
months ago Judge l.. Brame, one of the
leading lawyers of the Jackson bar,
was present and heard the testimony
upon which Benson was convicted, and
was so thoroughly convinced that he
was the victim of perjured testimony
for the purpose of getting the reward,
that he volunteered to take Benson's
case to the supreme court, where it is
now pending. Benson is we'll known
in this county and those who know
him best believe him to be entirely in
nocent and hope that if the supreme
court does not give him a new trial,
that Governor Longino will pardon
him at e.-Haziehurst Courier.
