my opinion a time had come when
1t was the duty of all ar minded
citizens who have the welfare of
the country at heart to line up
with the republican party, and thus
show their appreciation Of the
great work the party has done in
restoring confidence, protecting the
honor OF our Nation and advancing
the business interests of all sections.
They have proven themselves to
be true representatives of the peo-
pie, ever ready to meet all questions
without fear or hesitation.
When we think of the dreadful
condition the country was left in
at the close of the last democratic
administration, and OF the thous-
ands of people who were left
homeless and driven to the poor
house, and compare the conditions
then with the present condition
and our great prosperity, one be-
comes amazed to think that there
are enough democrats left to justify
the keeping up of an organization.
Well do | remember those weary
lays and nights when | worked for
ow wages to buy the necessaries Of
life, while my wife busted herself
eeding tramps.
With best wishes for your per-
;onal welfare and the party that
saved the country from disaster, I
'emain
Yours Truly,

ATTEnPT TORELEAsE PRISONERS
Miss 1innle Babcock of Helena, M ont.
Would Assist Brother to Escape.

Miss Minnie Babcock, a sister 0.
Geo. Babcock, who now languishes
in the county jail charged with
horse stealing and awaiting his
trial in ihe district court, arrived
in the city last Saturday and has
been stopping at Mr.. Rays. Miss
Babcock came here evidently with
a view to assisting her brother in
making his escape if possible and
her actions were such as to lead
the sheriff and deputy to that be-
lief for she in company with a
young lady OF this place had been
seen around the Jail several times
Sunday evening, and Deputy
Sheriff Murray remained up all
night and about 7.30 Monday
morning found a saw and rachel,
in Babcock's cell and it was
the understanding that they would
get revolvers Monday evening and
when they got out they would find
change Of clothing.
Deputy Murray placed Miss
Babcock under arrest and her
hearing was had before Judge Fritz
Monday afternoon and she was
bound over to the district court.
Miss Babcock is a total stranger
here and she stated that the Sho-
shonc young lady had sent her
plans and diagrams OF the location
of her home and the location of the
county jail so that when she arrived
here she knew just where to go and
what to do. 1t appears the Sho-
shone girl has fellow in the
county Jail with whom she is in
love and she wanted him released
and wrote or rather mailed the
letters to Miss Babcock for her
10 come 50 that th y corll release
both the prisoners.

at the Fair at Boise.

Mr.. Joseph McMeekin who has
resided at Hagerman, this county
for several years and while there,
has been engaged in painting pict-
ures OF the scenery of which that
locality abounds, has been induced
to exhibit several pictures at the
coming fair which will be held at
Boise during October.
Mr.. McMeekin is an artist of
rare ability and being an exception
al colorist his works present, an
appearance to the beholder, that is
both pleasant and realistic, his
pictures show a decisiveness of
touch that thrills and facinates
lovers of art and nature. Many OF
his best works are paintings of
Pacific Coast scenery, and marine
scenes which were sketchcd by Mr..
McMeekin during tours and voy--
ages while seeking the beautiful
and sublime.
Mr.. McMeekin is considered by |
many, as one of the foremost artists
Of the west and we are pleased to.
know that he has found material
or his canvas in our grand Snake

SAD ACCIDENT AT BLUE LAKES
A Party of Pleasure Seekers go Over
Embankment.
Yours Truly,
JAMES A. MCGEE.

Word was brought in from Blue
Lakes about 4 o'clock this morning
by Rudolph Moscow who had been
dispatched for a doctor, that n
| party of pleasure seekers who drove
over to the Falls and the Bluo.
Lakes met with a bad accident
which almost cost them their lives.
The party was composed Of Bob
Sketchley, Mrs. Tuxford, and Miss
Wilson of Omaha, and Mrs. G..
Hansen and daughter Lille OF
Shoshone, who had driven over
Wednesday in three seated rig of
Joe Keefers and had left the Falls;
about 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon
on their return home and getting
on the wrong road and finding
themselves near the Blue Lakes
about II O'Clock at night concluded
to drive to L. Is. Perrlne's place to,
rIemain over night and had started
to drive down the grade, where the
first gate is, about a mile from Mr..
Perrine's when the team with its.
load went over the embankment Il
distance of about thirty feet and
one horse was killed and the other
so badly hurt that it is thought it
would have to be killed. Mr.. Mos
COW stated that Mrs. Tuxford had
received a broken leg and it was
thought she was hurt internally
and the rest of the party were
badly bruised up and perhaps
hunt worse than they realized, and
said that all were being looked
lfter as well as possible at the time
lie left for the doctor. Little Lille
Hansen was the heroine OF the oc-
: sion she going to Mr.. Perrine's.
bout 1 O'Clock distance of over
mile all alone to summon help.
)r. Emerson and Mr.. Hansen left
Iere for the Lakes about O'Clock
his morning and we are unable to-
i've further particulars at present
ut hope the accident will prove
OF to be as bad as is reported.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY
The Democrats Held Their Primaries
Saturday.

Saturday.
The merits and worth Of two
local democratic lights not having
been fully recognized at the recent
democratic convention held at Po-
catello (they have often heard of
conventions like that before) they
returned home and Immediately
proceeded to bump one another at
the primaries for that lucrative
plum, the nomination for county
attorney. To be sure, they would
gladly have taken the nomination
from the democratic convention at
Pocatello for congressman, district
Judge, or most any old thing, but
as we have said before, the Lily
Whites at Pocatello failed to re-
cognize their peculiar qualifications
as statesmen and so through sheer
necessity they were compelled
to return home and assist in
promoting further democratic
harmony(?) here by gougeing one
another for what was left, besides,
there is few hundred per year in
the office they have each decided to
accept. We feel sorry for them for
they are both very proud and the
pressure must be great indeed that
would cause them to condesend to
accept the nomination for so small
an office and with the attendant
chances against them.

Sept, on which the democratic phi
maries were to be held, was a |

noticeable that the knight OF the

his followers from far and near to
assist him in this, the greatest fight
of his life; we are reliably informed
that one came all the way from
Boise to participate. The fight
waged hotter and hotter, carriages

AN HONEST LAD.

An incident very pleasing in it's de-
noument to the ladies of st. Clements
Guild occurred in connection with the
annual sale which took place last Sat
urday afternoon and evening. One of
the ladies in the evening by mistake,
gave out a five dollar gold piece in
change for a nickel to a lad who was
making a purchase. Neither noticed it
at the time, but the next morning the
lad found n his pocket a five dollar
gold piece which he did not know he
had, and on puzzling to make out how
he came to have it, figured out that he
must have got it in change in making
a particular purchase at the st. Gle
ments fair In company with his ia
Their, he at once restored it to the lady
from whom he received it. The ladies
of the Guild feel very much more salts
faction in this proof of the sterling
quality among the lads of the commu-
nifty than in the return of the money,
pleased as they are with that.

COALED SHIPS
TO LIVELY MUSIC
THE BANDMASTER, THE COAL
DUST AND A RECORD FOR COAL
ING SHIPS WHICH WAS BROKEN

The coaling and the musical records
were both beaten on the cruiser New
York yesterday morning.
Eight hundred and fifty tons of coal
were put aboard the vessel between z
o clock in the morning and 1 o'clock in
the afternoon, a record that is said to
be far and away ahead of anything
ever done anywhere before, in Japan or
elsewhere.
The musical record breaking was a
part of the coaling record breaking.
while the crew coaled ship, the band,
on the bridge, played a long repertory
of lively airs, and the men coaling kept
time to the music.
The story goes that the bandmaster
of the New York asked Captain Mack
enzie for forty-eght hours leave from
the vessel "to get away from the dust
and dirt while the ship was coaling."
Captain Mackenzie is said to have re-
piled that it would be good idea to
get out of the dust and dirt, and so di-
rected the bandmaster and the band to
get up on the bridge, where they would
be pretty we'll out of the dust and dirt,
and play steadily while the coaling was
going on.
At any rate the band went on the
bridge, and they played steadily.
The unusual combination of coaling
ship and the ships band playing at
tracted the attention of nearly every
one who went near the waterfront, and
so the story of the bandmaster's dis
lcomfiture, whether true or false, re-
ceived wide circulation.
Sunday the Quartermasters Depart
ment put 425 tons of coal on lighter,
and as much more on Naval Wharf No.
| l, and yesterday the crew of the
New York beagn putting it aboard the
vessel 1t was a contest between the
men working on the lighter, which was
brought alongside the New York on
the port side, and the men on the wharf
loading into the starboard side, with
the band playing to jolly them along.
| Captain Mackenzie supervised the work
| himself, and lively work it was. jack
| les trundled big wheelbarrow loads of
coal from wharf to vessel on a trot,
keeping time to the music.
BY 1 o'clock the disagreeable job,
which ordinarily takes a day or two,
was done.

CLEARING LANTANA.

The Executive Council yesterday con-
sidered a proposal by F. G.. Correa to
waive the first years rental on lands
in Maupoio, Maui,about to be offered
for sale, on the ground that the first
years work in clearing lantana will be
very expensive. The purchaser is re-
quired by the government to keep the
land of lantana. 1t was decided that
the waiver would set a bad precedent,
and the upset price was reduced instead
from $500 to $3.50 and $475 per acre.

Helena, Nov. Wv. w. Mcdowell
of Copperopolis was in Helena during
the week. He is the lessee and man.
ager of the Marcus DAILY copper mines
in Meagher county, and reports that
a cross-cut is being run on the 400
foot level toward the ore body which
was worked above the 300-foot level.
This mine has produced more high
grade ore, running upward from so to
so per cent in the red metal, than any
mine in Montana, and il the chute is
found it will be again a large pro-

The Helena Livingston company has
bonded what is known as the Mullers
mine, located west of Corbin. 1t Is
stated that the purchase price is up
ward of $4,000. A large force of men
have been put to work.
The Corbin concentrating people
have leased the old waste dumps of
the II. H. mine at Winston. 1t is stat
ed that there are upwards OF 400 tons
of pay ore on the dumps, which are
being shipped from Winston to Cor
bin. where 1t will be run through the
concentration.
A new road has been built from Sill

this county to Wolf Creek, which very
much shortens the haul from this min
ing camp by sixteen miles. This dis
trict is undoubtedly one OF the best
