CARLOAD OF REFRIGERAToRs
Direct From the Factory to Butte
Furniture House.

Direct from factory to retailer. a
whole carload Of refrigerators to a Butte
dealer! Doesn't that show that Butte
is real city, and that the dealer must
have large trade to load UP so on re-
Grigerators? Bought direct from the
factory saves jobbers profit; shipped In
carload lot, gets lowest freight.
These facts enable Brownneld- Cantv
company to sell these unexcelled Ran
ney refrigerators ranging In size from
an Ice chest to the largest refrigerator,
at a price that virtually eliminates com.

The Ranney refrigerator represents

contemplating the purchase of re-

buying.

Interesting statistics of the G. A. r. in

Mckinley Fund Contributions.
Commander Sterling said that s5S had
been collected for the Mckinley memo

sent to Myron L. Herrick, the national
treasurer, in Cleveland.
Death has been the cause of the loss of
13 Of the veterans, most of whom We're
well known to the members of the G.. A.
r. throughout the state. Among others
to die was George w. Jenkins, depart
ment chaplain. Commander Sterling
pays high tribute to the dead chaplain
and also to the others. He also gives
word of tribute to the late Mr.. Mckinley.
In his annual address Commander
Sterling speaks highly of the Woman's
Relief Corps and touched upon the vari-
Gus organizations and institutions con-
cerned with the veterans.
At Soldiers Home.
He says that the condition of the state
soldiers home was good, but that con-
ditions there could be materially i'm
proved. He hoped that some action
looking to these improvements would be
taken either by the legislature or con-
gress or both, whereby there would be
an increase in appropriations so that the
home could be enlarged and needed i'm
pfpvements made.
lon the subject of pensions, Commander
Sterling says that it was questionable
propriety for G. A. r. posts to pass reso-
lutions asking congress to grant pensions
to every surviving soldier and sailor He
said that he doubted If the majority of
the soldiers were in favor of such action
by congress. In this connection he said
Eager Politicians.
"The desire of politicians do not say
statesmen-to win the good will of ex-
soldiers, will doubtless insure all the
Legislative recognition it is wise to be-
stow, without any solicitation on our
part.
Il am in favor of giving every man
who lost leg, or an arm, or incurred
equal disabilities pension of $50 per
month. l am in favor of removing,
speedily and absolutely all of the absurd
regulations promulgated by the pension
department at Washington that make 1t
difficult, and in some instances almost an
impossibility, for an honest applicant
for pension to prove his claim.
THE man who fell into the hands of
the enemy when in the line of his duty,
uphoding the flag of his country and
staying lne LOtterlHB temple OF liberty,
and came back from rebel prison or
the blood-stained field of battle with
shattered health, ought to be presumed
without further proof, to have incurred
his disabilities while in the line of duty
Pension Regulations.
THE government was satisfied of the
spundness of every man when he was
sworn into the service. Not one in ten
:. thousand incurred disabilities thereafter
under circumstances which would pre-
clude the allowance of a pension.
"The grading of pensions, according to
rank, instead of strictly according to de-
gree of disability, is another relic of aris-
tocratic European methods that should
be eliminated from our statute books"
Mr.. Sterlings annual address was de-
livered in Helena today at the meeting
OF the Grand Army of the Republic of
Montana.

opinion to the town council of

candidate has an intention of main
tanning his political residence, does
not operate as disqualification. The

Of crop conditions in Mississippi. The
weather was unfavorrble t6 vegeta-
tion throughout the state, and rain
fall at only a few places.
In the delta section crops are hold
ing their own fairly well, but in sew
eral counties moisture is badly need
ed, especially for corn. The drouth
still continues in the eastern section
OF the state, and all crops are being
badly damaged by the protracted dry
spell. The crops III north Mississip-
pl are said to be in a medium fair
shape, but a good rainfall is much
desired.
Great damage has been caused by
the hot winds of the past four days
which are blasting the corn and sap
ping the accumulated moisture from
the ground.
Cotton Is in bloom throughout the
state, and in some sections the boil
formation has commenced. The
plant is generally clean and free
from grass.

pnNsIoN EXAMININa soARps.

During the past week mass meet
lngs OF confederate veterans were
heli IN quite a number Of the eoun-
Ties Of Mississippi for the purpose of
recommeu Ing pension examining
boards to the boards Of supervisors
81 their respective counties, pursuant
10 the provisions of the amendment
TO the pension law adopted at the last
session Of the legislature. During
the present week similar meetings
viii be held in many of the counties,
and the reports from the confederate
veterans will be filed with the boards
of supervisors at their regular
monthly meetings next Monday.
It is much discussed question as
to whether the Lew plan of passing
OH applications will result in an in
crease of The pension roll, and it is
generally believed that a fair-sized
increase may be looked for. The
appropriation, however, is larger
than that of last year, and a reduc-
ton OF the pro rata allowance to each
pensioner is not anticipated.

1t Is learned that the insurance

test the law passed by the last legis-
latur authorizing levee boards to re-
quire n privilege tax on all instance

of the ablest legal talent in the state
however, the law is constitutional,
an the insurance companies are in
the same class as all other business
from which special privilege tax is
exacted for the support Of the leYee
system.

If the coast papers do not quit their

they will just simply cause thenomi-
nation of Capt. Hardy in the first

OF the woods take but little interest
in the discussion, for it's very imma-
terial with them whether these gen.
tiemen are attorneys for railroads,
the owners of railroads or are not
allowed even to walk on railroad
track. Mr.. Barber, it is understood,
has given up his railroad pass and is
trying to force DIR. Bowers to give up
his. but that gentleman does not see
where he would advance his chances
by breaking a stick and going through
the country, and hence he win hang
on to his railroad passes if he is
defeated for congress. Both Of them
had better pass cut and give the field
to Captain Hardy who can pass in
without being hampered with rail-
road passes.

Despite the great stress that has
been laid on the Importance of regis
tration, many voters in Mississippi
have failed to qualify for the con-
gressional elections to take place
during the summer and many will be
cut off from voting. The registration
books throughout the state will be
closed on the fourth of July, and a
final appeal is being made by the
registrars for citizens to qualify
themselves fer the elective franchise.
Lack of interest in the congressional
contests is the chief cause for the
laxity in registration, and citizens do
not seem to be impressed with the
fact that this years registration will
be used in the state election next
year.
