BY the death of Captain John Hal
Than a man has been removed who
gave to his adopted country his best
services and who showed his patriot
ism by twice responding to its call
for defenders. He enlisted in a vol
unteer regiment during the civil war,
joining the army the same year he
landed from his native land, and serv-
ed until the end of hostilities. In the
regular establishment afterward he
served against the hostile Indians OF
the southwest and then retired to
private life. When the war with
Spain was declared he was one of the
first to volunteer and as a captain
of the famous First Montana render
ed a good account of himself in the
Philippines and made an excellent
record ..as a brave and accomplished
soldier. To the men who served with
him his death comes as a particular
loss, while the people Of the state to
whose military glory he contributed
so much will mourn him and with his
former comrades in arms pay tribute to
his memory.

bership in which is to be secret, and
united effort is expected to accom-
plish what individual attempt in the
past has been unable to bring about.
Every fred" in the city is to be
Spotted" and they will be induced
to leave. p%eaoeably if possible, but If
other measures are found necessary
the v%igilantes are said to be prepar-
ed to use them. What will probably
prove an effective method is that of
the boycott. No man known to be an
anarchist will be given employment,
Or if he by chance secures it his en-
rloyer is to be notified to dismiss
him. The plan adopted as a starter
is to simply starve the firebrands out
and force them to emigrate.
For the sake of Paterson's peace
and security it is to be hoped the ef-
fort will prove successful, but the
outlook for other towns created there
by is not of the most cheerful. Here
tofore it has been comparatively easy
for the various state and city author
tiles to keep themselves informed Is
to the movements of the "reds" by
simply keeping in touch with the New
Jersey town, but henceforth it may be
expected that they will find it a more
difficult task. Still by adopting the
Paterson way other communities may
rid themselves of the pests and they
may ultimately be forced out Of the
country altogether. although that is
hoping for too much good. -

A BUTTER FACTORY.
Miles City Likely to Have Creamery
Soon. ~

so0" \
The people of Miles City are be-
ginning to plume themselves on the
fact that their town is likely to soon
have a creamery, the first Institution
of the kind in eastern Montana, if
not in the state. Recently an eastern
man arrived there and began to pros
pect with a view to engaging in the
business ct butter making and Incl
dentally also the manufacture of con-
densed milk. He considered the field
an excellent one, the only question
being as to the probability of obtain
ing a sufficient list of COWS to war
rant the undertaking. He has made
a anvas of the country contiguous
to the town and has received assur-
ances of an ample supply of milk, as
the following from the Yellowstone
Journal would Indicate:
wv. c. Jones who started out about
a week ago to see how many COWS
could be listed in this locality to con-
tribute milk for a creamery which it
is proposed to build at Miles City has
returned and reports the most aatter-
ing success. He only embraced an
area enclosed in a six mile radius
from the town yet was able to secure
the promise of 400 cows and with
what can be reckoned on additional
to that number the total is expected
to reach 700. Mr.. Harrison. the pro-
moter of the enterprise stated that
800 cows would be enough for a but
ter making plant and 500 for condens-
ed milk, and the prospects are good
for an excess of 200 even over the
larger figures. OF course there are
rot that number of cows now being
MIXED regularly in the district men,
toned but many people in the neigh
borhood have COWS on the range
which they will be glad to get into
active production. The building re-
ouired would be as large if not larger
than the Miles City hotel"

VERDICT AGAINST MINISTER.
Reverend Warman Granted Not One
Cent Of DAMAGES.

-e ~ r. WIZ W 0asss0S~os ~
Miles City, June 25.-After being
out but a half hour today, the jury in
the ase OF Warman VS.. the Macca-
bees arrived at a verdict in which
the plaintiff was granted absolutely
not M cent of the $4,000 asked for
in the complaint. 80.
The arguments in the case were linn
tied to- one hour and a half for each
side, counsel addressing the jury in
the following order: H. j. Haskell>o
Glendive; c. G. Hurley, also of Glen:
dive: s. Sanner and j. w. Strevell.
Among his instructions, the judge
admonished the jurors that according
to the law, if it was shown that a
person had resisted by his actions
the assaults of another, it was as com
petent as an cutlery, and that an as.
sault committed in a lodgeroom was
not palliated in any degree because
of the rules and regulations OF the
order providing for violent measures
upon the person of another.
The jury seemed to favor the testi-
mony of the defense that there had
been no violence used and if there
was any rupture as claimed by the
plaintiff and testified to by physicians
it took place prior to plaintiffs ad'
mission to the lodge.

For an industry that ~confessedly
does not need mu.h in the way of
tariff protection, the beet sugar in
dustry has shown itself possessed of
good fighting qualities. 1t seemingly
has won it's selfish fight at the ex-
pense of the pledges of a dead presi-
dent of national aid for the infant
republic which the nation assisted in
bringing into the world. Some Of
those who have been interested spec
tators of the fight which has been
made in congress are inclining to the
belief that the beet sugar men were
not the only ones who fighting
Cuban reciprocity, but that they re-
ceived powerful aid from other
sources who had reasons for fearing
that the way once opened there might
be more legislation affecting others
who are the beneiciaries of the pres
ent tariff laws.

Contributions to- democratic har-
mony are still being made by the fol
lowers of the doctor and the adher-
ents of the colonel The former are
not quite so Industrious and energetic
as the latter, but they are not idle,
not by any means. The colonePs
men are soothing at the idea that the
tariff should be the issue and say that
suggestion always comes from men
who insist that silver, having been
twice defeated, is a dead duck be-
yond any hope of resurrection. Ma
liciously they call attention to the
number of times the party suffered
defeat on the tariff issue and wonder
how the tariff reformers can have
the hardihood to claim their ISSUE
to be superior to the other. Whatever
notion the winged dove of peace may
have entertained about folding its
pinions and alighting/ on the demo-
cratic ridge pole. it is a tolerably safe
proposition to say that it has recon
sidered it and for the present at least
will look for a more inviting resting
place, and it will not be Woolfert's
roost, either, nor any of the trees
about Buzzard's bay.

AND SUBSIDY.

New York Tribune: American ship
builders are talking hopefully of the
prospect that the constant develop
rot of the steel industries of the
United States will make it possible
to construct vessels here better and
more cheaply than in any country and
without reducing wages. Sanguine
prophets venture to predict that ere
many years have passed capitalists
and investors on the other side Of the
Atlantic will find it to their, advant-
age to give extensive orders to Yam
kee shipyards. That is an outlook
full of encouragement.

ing his constitution is not in the con-

withstand the effects Of an operation
of the seriousness of the one he has
been compelled to undergo. Instead
of a coronation, the end, as far as
Edward is concerned, may be a fun
eral. Another king will then be
crowned, for in spite of all we hear
about the likelihood of Edward being
the last king of England, it is hard
to believe that the English people
have changed so much in sentiment
and custom that they r prepared at
this time to relegate the llonarchical
form of government for one more in

is SPECIALLY

Although Whitelaw Reid must foot
the bill himself and his title as spec.
ial ambassador of the United States
to the coronation of .England's king
is purely complimentary and lacks the
dignity of accredited authority to
wear knee breaches and kiss Ed
wards hand, it seems he is to be ac-
corded just as much honor and con-
%sideration as are the men who are
really present at the behests of their
respective sovereigns and govern
ments. In fact he is to be honored a
little; more than some of them, If
the London correspondents are telling
the truth. %'
He will have a carriage all to him
self in the parade and may loll back
among it's cushions with all the
hauteur and e~mbassadorial dignity he
cares to assume .
The official list originally placed
the gentleman in the same carriage
with Turkhan Pasha, special repre-
sentative of the sultan of Turkey, and
Admiral Gervais. representing the re-
public of France. According to court
usage Mr.. Reid would have been oblig-
ed to occupy the front seat and ride
with his back to the horses. A com
Portable enough seat, it would seem,
and our special ambassador was not
heard to make any protest, notwith-
standing that the other two would
have ridden face toward the front.
Edward. however, did not fall in with
the idea. He has learned enough of
the nation whom Mr.. Reid is to rep
resent to know that as a rule its peo-
pie turn their hack on no one. Ac-
cordingly he caused a change to be
made in the programme and 10Y Mr..
Reid is to have a carriage all by his
lonesome and American dignity will
not be sighted in the least degree.

UNCOMFORTABLE PREJUDICE.

Although it has been made suf-
ficiently clear that none of the money
derived by the general government
in the ordinary ways is to be expend-
ed for the reclamation of the arid
lands and that, on the contrary, the
lands themselves must defray the
cost, some Of the eastern people and
newspapers still insist On talking
about a tax of the whole for the ben.
eft of a few Among those who per-
sist in so misrepresenting the truth
is the Chicago Chronicle, which
claims that the matter of irrigating
the vast tract. Of arid and semi-arid
lands CT the west should be left to
private enterprise. 1t designates the
proposal of national aid a scheme
gotten up by a few shrewd ones to
gain private benefits at public cost;
a proposal to tax the farmers Of the
country to set up rivals in business
and further depress the prices of farm
products.
A statement of that kind coming
from such a source is really aston
fishing. Try as one will one cannot be
charitable enough to say that it was
inspired by ignorance, consequently
plain language necesitates it's desig
nation as downright mendacity. The
Chronicle knows better than to be
lieve as true what it says concerning
the matter. 1t is true that the lands
of the arid states, or portions of then
are to be reclaimed under fedora
supervision, but none of the farmers
of the east, or the west. for that mat
ter will be taxed for the purpose. Thu
bill makes special provisions agains
this. The evenu derived from tn,
sale of the reclaimed lands is to b
employed to pay the cost of thei
reclamation and the men who will oe
cupy the lands are the one who mus
bear the expense. How this is taxini
the other farmers only the Chronicl
probably can tell.

OUR LEADING CUSTOMER.

OUR LEADING CUSTOMER.
Minneapolis Journal: From Wash.
ington come extracts from latest re-
ports of our consuls in England, show
ing that there is no slackening in the
demand for American manufactures
in the United Kingdom, although the
British people are becoming as an
tagonistic toward American goods as
they have been for some time toward
the manufacturers of Germany.
The economic features of II de-
vices in manufactured products is the
attraction, for an Englishman is not
addicted to- the use of devices which
do not help him in the domestic and
business realms simply because they
are made m England. He used to do
so, but he takes his American articles
now as a matter of course. There is
no doubt that American manufacture
ers will supply a large percentage of
the $3.50, 000, 900 worth of mining ma
chinery which English experts tell
lis will be taken in South Africa dur
ing the next five years. Within a
year over a hundred thousand homes
will have to be made there, and agri-
cultural machinery will be in large
demand, large purchases of such ar
ticles having already been made in
this country and one firm in Pennsyl-
vania has just shipped 200 tons of
drills thither. The advantage Eng
land has had in the fight for South
African trade is disappearing, for the
new consultations of shipping in this
country, the Morgan merger and the
Lewis Nixon combination, will surely
improve American direct shipping to
South African ports and sharply COM
pete with the British combine in that
service to the advantage of our trade.
1t is noticeable that a leading Brit
ish shipbuilding firm recently order
ed 10000 tons of steel plates from an
American house, and that deep anxi-
ETY. exists in England over the sudden
development of American shipping
interests. It has been thought that
it was an impossible thing for Amer
leans to have a MERCHANT marine
which would endanger British inter-
ests, by reason of our navigation laws
and apparent dependence upon large
government bounties to keep a freight
fleet afcat. While the, advocates of
big bounties for shipping were toll
ing to convince congress that the Frye
subsidy bill was the only route to bet
terment of our merchant marine, the
Morgan sydicate suddenly launched
the Atlantic shipping combination,
absorbing several great transatlantic
lines of steamships and that move
ment has been followed by the Nixon
combination, which will soon be the
most completely equipped and self
contained ship building plant in the
world.
Ia The promoters of these two combi-
nations give notice that they are pro-
ceeding to business without a dol
lar of subsidy and without any pur-
pose of seeking subsidies. They are
beginning the restoration of the SUI
premacy of ourscountry on the sea and
it is no marvel that the British ship
ping interest looks askance upon the
proceedings. The invasion of Britain's
salt water preserve by our Americans
is a subject of bitter contemplation
by John Bull.

Lawn Games In England.

We get nothing. like the pleasure out
Of our lawns which the English do.
Where we are at fault is that we do
not use our lawns to anything like
their full capacity of enjoyment. Here
and there we use them as the framing
of lawn tennis or crOquet courts (Which
we make either of dirt or asphalt), and
here and there we mark out upon their
surface a baseball diamond Still rare
ly and only in limited localities they
are used for the playing of cricket.
Both the latter games, however, re-
Quire for their outfielders rather a field
than lawn, within the ordinary mean

and generally, it may be said with
truth that we have no games which
require only a lawn and nothing more.

On a tree close to house within a

ones. The roof of the house caught
fire one day, and, though the flames
did not actually reach the tree, the
beat became scorching. SO the mother

it and drenched her breast; then, re-
turning to her young. she spread the
mass of cool, wet feathers all over
them. This she repeated over and over
again, flying to the river, going down
into the water and returning, her plum
age drenched with wet And thus
the nest was saved, and the tender
