The Criminals Friend.

That kean St. Charles, the faker

pecfed is evidenced by his rushing to
the aid OF his man Feeny, when that
fellow was charged with giving voice
10 his blackguardly instincts on the
streets OF the town Of Kingman, in the
presence OF women and children, while
on recent drunk. That Feeny was
not sooner taken in charge, we will in
form the rat" editor, was simply be.
cause 1t was reported for several DAYS
after the occurrence that he was suf
fering the agonies of jun jams or some
Kindred ailment from the result of his
debauch, and that a soon as he had re
covered he sneaked away to his mine
IN the Chemehuevis mountain, where
he remained for some time. The war
rant had been issued, but had not been
placed in the hands of the officer for
service until few days ago. When
the cause was transferred to Chloride

women and children whose ears had
been violated by the vulgar and OBJ

Feeny on the occasion named in the
complaint. Ii was not the first time
that this man used this horrible Ian
guage while being taken home in
maudlin condition, but we give him
warning at this time that no matter

A recent communication from Con
gress junction states that the survey
of the railroad line from that place
westward to the Colorado river has
been made, but that it will be some
time before work in earnest L. begun
on the construction. The road is Que
of the most important ones In the
country and would give Phenix an al
most direct outlet to the coast, besides
opening up one Of the richest mineral
and agricultural countries in the Terri
tory. Along the Santa Maria and Bill

mining claims that could be cheaply
developed and placed on paying basis

have to now lie idle on account of their

Pauper But Owns a Mine.

Though the owner of a good niue
that may prove to be one OF the richest
in the state, the old miner found in a
dying condition in North Main street
saloon last week, and who later died
at the city hall without telling his
name, was yesterday buried at the ex.
pense of Deer Lodge county. Friend
less aud alone, the aged prospector,
suffering from a fatal sickness, came
to the city from his home iu hopes
that he might be benefited by the
change. Instead, however, death came
swiftly TO end his suffering. At the
inquest held by Coroner Hughes the
next day II was learned that the de
ceased was generally known iu the
city by the name of Bolin, though il
was also said that his true name was
Charles Brodrick.
The unusual feature of the case did
not come to light until a miner, resid
ing west of Anaconda, few days ago
reported to Coroner Hughes the fact
that the old man was the owner OF one
of the best prospects in that district
and that he already had considerable
gold ore on the dump at his mine.
Since that time similar reports have
been brought to the coroner, who in
tends to depart this week to inspect
the property.

Hughes yesterday, "that there are Ger.

To Fight The Trusts.

The Colorado Mine Operators asso-
citation is exactly the proper thing, but
some one may ask for what reason.
The mine owner of today meets trusts
on every hand, and, that they may
rightfully protect their own interests,
they must be properly organized into
one association to act as a unit in
cases of emergency. Among the con-
binations that the mine owners is up
against is the smelter trust, steel trust,
machinery trust, powder trust, food
trust and many others. When the
mine owners are well organized they
will be masters of their own business

Il have often been asked Why do
you play so much ragtime at your
concerts?' and I always reply that rag
time music is what is most demanded,
and that my mission is to please-not
to educate-the masses. 1t is not a
crime to acknowledge that you enjoy
ragtime. All the old masters wrote
ragtime, and that great poet and wiz
ard of harmony, Richard Wagner. was
a postmaster at it. 1t is a well-known
fact that the themes for llany of our
most popular ragtime songs were
taken bodily from his operas.
Il have always delighted in strong
contrasts-from the sublime to the ri
diculous ii You like-and | invariably
follow "TannnauseT" or "Leonore"
overtures with some little street song
melody or ragtime march. 1t frequent
ly happens that two persons will sit
side by side at one of my concerts. one
a lover of 'high-cass' music the other
with desire only for the ragtime
piece. BY bringing the extremes in
close contrast the grand old overtures
seem grander and the street song
sweeter and more enhancing
why should any conductor cefuss
to play music which causes 50 much
harmless pleasure?
"Ragtime is not fad. as many have
declared, and it will not die out It
pleases the God-given sense of rhythm
and will endure as long as the world
shall stand Can it what you will
ragtime is as good as any other name
lit existed centuries before our time
and it will 80 on for centuries to come
after we have been forgotten"

"All the oldtime fiddlers' were rag

player who sat perched on a barrel

many of the fellows who claim to have
originated what they are pleased to
call 'ragtime.
'Drummers have played nothing but
ragtime since the invention OF the
drum. The bass drum is now used
only to punctuate or emphasize the
heavy beats or pulse of the music, but
in the original 'sheepskin band that
has furnished martial music for our
soldiers in times of war for centuries
the bass drummer used a stick in each
hand and helped out the ragtime
rhythm of the snare drum.
WHO has not stood on a curbstone

how wearily the men in line plodded

the bass drum? But when the snare

According to good authority the
sense of rhythm is greater by SO per

with a strong rhythmic accent, or a
ragtime song with its intensified
rhythm, appeals more intensely to
greater mankind.
