Mayor Jones declared however.
that he Was an optinaist, and In spite
of recent wars. he said, the world
was better Of than 1t was 100 years
ago, and was continually improving.
That brought aim to the late coal

Saloon lien Organize.

A meeting of the saloon men of
Hamilton was held last night at Blin-
daaer's hall for the purpose of organ
izing Saloon Mems Protective Union.
Every saloon in the city was repre-
sented.
After considerable discussion it was
unanimously agreed to raise the price
of beer, the schedule adopted being as
follows: Draught beer, 10 cents per
glass and 20 cents per quart; Bud
weiser, 2S cents per pint and SO cents
per quart; Export IS cents per quart.
The raise goes into effect tomorrow
Thursday morning at o'clock. The
saloon men urge az reasons for the
raise: First, that they are paying a
heavier city license, in proportion tc
the population than any other city ID
state; second. that beer costs them s.
per barrel more than it does anywhere
else in the state, and since Hamilton
has become a union town they have
complied with all the requests of the
unions and which has resulted in al
increased cost sor laundry, porter
work, etc.

Railroad Assessment
Raised $75, 600, 900.
State Board Of Equalization Does the
Business Carter's Efforts Una
vaillng -Ravallps Share
Will Be $4,000.

A Butte Miner special from Helena,
dated August 2, says:
The state board Of equalization late
yesterday afternoon raised the rail-
road assessment Of MontaEa from
SIS, ,000,O COO, as it was in 1901, to $4O,-
00O. 900. The increase was by far the
most important ever made by the
state board, and it comes az a surprise
to the Representatives Of the railroads
now here, who had anticipated only !
slight increase. The per cent of in
crease is an enormous one and means
that the railroads will be compelled to
pay &62, 500 more in taxes to the state
Of Montana this year than they did the
year before.
The exact vote upon the question of
the railroad assessment is unknown,
as it was decided not to make it public,
but it is understood that Governor
Toole, State Auditor Calderhead and
State Treasurer Barret were for the
assessment as fixed. It is understood
that Secretary of State Hay favored a
ten per cent increase, and Attorney
General Donovan a Eve per cent in
crease.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern will suffer principally from
the increase. The Northern Pacific
will pay taxes on 7S3 miles of main
line at $16. 900 mile instead Of $5,945
mile, as last year, a total assessment
for this year of $12, s2s 900, or within
So, ,OOO, 600 Of the whole railroad assess
ment for 1901. The Great Northern
assessment was raised from $5,432. so
a mile on its main line and on the
Pacific extension to SIG, ,297 so. The as
sessment on both of these lines, hav-
ing total mileage of 8O7 miles,is $l3,-
152 2,O82. so.
The representatives of the railroads
were in a dazed condition last night.
They appear TO be entirely knocked
out, not having expected any such
raise. None of them would discuss
the situation Charles Swartz, for
ncrly tax agent for the Northern

Pacific, spoke for the other railroad
men last night when he said:

Pacific, spoke for the other railroad
men last night when he said:
1--WE have received no notification
of this from the board and until we do
we do not care to discuss it. We were
notified that the board had taken
recess until morning. / can't say
what step we will take if any, until
then"
It is understood that the railroad
men will fi;e protest with the board
today. That is all there is left for it
to do. The boards action. however,
is believed to be final.
While under the raise the railroads
will psv the state itself upon the usual
levy of 2H mills $62, 900 more to the
state than 1t did last year, that repre-
sents only small part of the increas-
ed tax. Each roads assessment is
apportioned to the various counties
according to the mileage, and against
the assessment is levied whatever tax
the county imposes in addition to the
state levy of ~ mills.
It is fact worth mentioning that
ex-senator Thomas H. Carter has
been seen on the outskirts Of the fight
from the beginning. 1t is understood
that he did all that he could to bring
influences to bear upon the members
of the board to keep the assessment
down.
The state hoard at its meeting on
Saturday decided to reduce the Great
Northern assessment to $16, 1000, the
same as the other through lines. It
was also decided to give the railroad
men another hearing. some time next
week after they return from North
Dakota.
Ravalli county's proportion of the
raise in the railway assessment
amounts to half million dollars aud
which will add something over SIC, 900
to the county's tax roll

HURON, S. D., Aug. 16.-News
comes from Vienna, a small town on
the Great Northern railway, twenty
five miles from this city, that an at
tempt to assassinate III. M. Wallace,
proprietor of the Vienna hotel, was
made night or two since.
There came to the hotel man and
woman, to whom Mr.. Wallace assigned
a room. They insisted that two big
dogs that accompanied them should
also occupy the room, to which Mr..
Wallace objected. This offended the
couple and they left the place, taking
their team and starting into the coun-
try.
Passing the hotel, one of the party
is alleged to have fired shot from a
revolver through a window, the bullet
coming in close proximity to Mr.. WAL
lace's head. The parties were followed
and arrested at Willow Lakes and re-
turned to Vienna to await investiga-
ton. The couple are believed to be
driving over the country merely for
the purpose of doing mischief.

Death Follows Insomnia.

A person absolutely without sleep for
nine days will die. Sufferers from in
somnia sometimes maintain that they
have gone for weeks without sleeping,
but it has been proved they do sleep
without being aware of it. At GER
tain point sleep is inevitable no mat
ter what the bodily condition the al
tentative being death. Prisoners have
slept on the rack of the inquisition.
And the Chinese found that only the
greatest ingenuity and vigilance could
carry out a sentence of death by sleep
lessness. This mode of capital punish
ment was long in favor in China, and
is said TO be so today; while as a form
Of torture, deprivation of sleep is con-
sidered one of the most eff1cacious weap-
ons in the Chinese judicial arsenal In
some cases the prisoner is kept in a
cage, too small to sand up or lie down
in. and constantly prodded with a sharp
rod. Death by starvation, also Chinese
punitive method, is a slower process, and
therefore. one would think more calculat-
ed to appeal to the Oriental mind, If it
were not that death by sleeplessness is
thought so much more painfuL-News-

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 1s.-
The convention of the supreme lodge OF
knights of Pythias will continue in
session for few days. Today was de-
voted entirely to the case of John A.
Hinsey, former president Of the board
of control of the endowment rank. who
has been accused of misusing $500, 600.
Congressman X. e. Watson, Of In
diana, introduced a resolution callirk.
for Hinsey's expulsion from the SUI
preme lodge on the ground that Hinsey
violated his obligation as a Pythian
when he enjoined the grand tribunal of
Illinois from trying the case.
The supreme representatives de-
ma nded that even more drastic meas
ures be taken. A compromise was
reached, that Hinsey should be sus-
pended from the grand lodge until his
case shall have been finally disposed
of by the grand tribunal of Illinois.
