Arrest Of Man Who Has Long Been
Wanted.
From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Saturday evening Chief of Police
Jackson made quite an important
catch in the person of F. j. Piper,
who has been wanted some time on
a charge Of assault in the second de
gree.
The officers state that several
months ago Piper was working on a
ranch west Of Billings and became
involved in a quarrel with Frank Zim-
norman, a well-knoVn desident of
the valley. He seized a club and
struck Zimmerman several vicious
blows, one of which broke his jaw.
Not satisfied he drew a knife and in
fiicted a severe cut on Zimmerman's
head. He Immediately took fight and
got out of the country as fast as pos
sible and had not been zen or heard
of until Chief Jackson accidentally
ran across him Saturday evening.
He was locked up in the county Jail.

lington was ticketing passengers and
routing freight through west Of Spo-
kane over the Great Northern lines is
significant not SO much on account
of it being a fact that was not gen
orally known as that it indicates the
utilization of the northern merger
lines for the purpose of providing bet
ter transportation facilities.
The route by way of Spokane is
the direct way for passengers and
freight on the middle and western per
tions of the Burlington system to
reach the coast and points between
Spokane and the coast. The theory Of
the men who planned the merger ct
the great systems. the. Burlington, the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
ciic, is that these lines used togeth-
ed can give better service and handle
the business at less cost than if the
three operated Independently.
"In the old days, when the passen-
ger from Omaha or southern Iowa
wanted to reach Spokane via the Bur-
lington he might have been ticketed
round by way of Minnesota and then
sent west. Under the modern rules,
however, he is sent by the most di-
rect route"
Passenger Traffic Manager P. S.
Eustis of the Burlington has %announc-
ed the first of a number Of important
changes to be made by the company
in the handling Of traffic, namely, the
appointment of Eugene Valentine,
chief passenger clerk, to the position
of northwestern passenger agent of
the northern division, with head
quarters at St. Paul.
The appointment is in conformity
to the decision to separate all joint
offices and place freight and passen-
ger business in the hands of separate
agents.

A ROUTE.
Burlington Coast Trains Will Rur
Over Great Northern.

Over Great Northern.
Pending final decision of the courts
as to the legality Of the merger, the
different lines affected by the organi-
cation of the Northern Securities
company are going right ahead to
utilize the merged lines in accord
ance with the plans and objects in
view when the practical consolidation
was effected. 1t is now announced
that the Burlington's coast trains will
soon be run over the Great Northern
west of Spokane. By this arrange
ment it is believed that.the time will
be reduced from three to four hours,
as by it will be avoided the circuitous
route now made necessary by the use
of the Northern Pacific from that
point to Seattle.

Mr.. and Mrs. Rademaker Lose TheiI
Only Child.
From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Ethel, aged 3 years and 8 months
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Rade
maker, and their only child, died al
their home in North Thirty-second
street at 2 o'clock, Sunday morning
The child had been ill but a few
days and the direful disease which
caused it's death, diphtheria, did not
make itself manifest until a very few
hours before the little n passed
away. Indeed, her illness was consid.
cred to be of not a very serious ma.
ture and no n but the parents was
present at the trying hour. It was
only about 10 months ago that Mr.
and Mrs. Rademaker lost another
bright little girl, and the present be.
reavement is doublys bitter on that
account.
Because of the contagious nature OF
the disease it was deemed best to
held the funeral as early as possible,
and accordingly the burial took place
at 1890 Sunday forenoon in the Cath
Ollie cemetery west of the city.

Let Democrats Decide.
Huntsville Mercury.

HuntSvilie Mercury.
 While the newspapers. politicians and people are discussing whether the State officers shall be nominated by a primary or by a convention. 1t may not be out of piac< 10 suggest that none but Demo crats should be permitted to participate In Democratic contests. For several years all white men who were willing to pledge themselves to support the nominees of the Democratic primaries. were invited to participate, regardless of whether or not they had q ;3em9cratie record:
 When the State Committee pulled down the bars" in 1886. 1t was ccntended by many Democrats that such a policy would solidify the vote of the white men and present solid front against negro control In Alabama. The new constitu- tion has solved the latter problem to the satisfaction of the Democracy and has made possible without damaging the Democratic nominees, the elimination of those who vote for their friends in the primaries and against the nominees in the general election.
 This matter deserves the attention of the state Committee regardless of the method agreed .upon for the nomination of candidates. It ls wrong to permit men to have a voice in nominating party cam didates who are unwilling to support the nominees of such party contests.

Judge Thos. G. Jones on the Federal Bench.

 The unique picture of a gallant Con- federate soldier, sound Democrat pre- siding with ability and dignity on the publican President is presented Sy Judge Thomas c. Jones in the United States Court of this district. Judge Jones pos sesaes one element which carries conf derice with all men and makes him ac- ceptabie to all parties. thet element is high integrity His integrity has always ranked and guarded his other virtues. his valor, partisanship, personal dealings with his ftilownian, his legal acuriheri, have all been mastered by it hence &itn one accord the people irrespectiee of par. tv said, when he wac appointed to this position, we could not hope to have done better. The confidence and respect of our people is a tribute to Governor Jones of which any man can justly be proud.

 Atlanta, ( town enga Eed in grabbins penitentiaries. sub-treasuries and what not also proposes to kobble up the Court of Appeals plum that the Hoar Dill as- signs to Montgomery. The Hoar bill pro. yides for | Sixth Federal District. con- sisting ot Alabama. Georgia and Florida, with Court of Appeals to set at Mont eomery. t being more central in the proposed Sixth District than any other city in the three States. This bill has been reported from the Senate Judiciary Corhmittee and is noN on the calendar. and may be called up at any time.
 The Age-Herald trusts that any at tenapr on the part of AtlAnta to grab this Federal plum also will be resisted and defeated. No doubt the Georgia Sena. tors will raid the Montgomery section. and Alabama looks to her Senators to defeat the raid. Montgomery is central to the district-to Pensacola and Tampa and Key West as we'll as to Alabama. and to a good share of Genrsia.
 Atlanta should get over the Federal habit. This government is not conducted for the sole purpose of aRgrandizing At. lanta. and if the Alabama Senators and Representatives check this Atlanta ton dency to grab things they will serve this section well. At any rate the Hoar bil should go through as the venerable Sen ator fir pm sachusetts has reported it.

For man Of sense Senator Oepew sometimes makes some ridiculous re. marks, as this paragraph shows:
 If in the election of United states Sem ators a small oiiearchy in any State can send here a representation equal to that Of great States ike New York. which has manhood suffrage; if States in which half the voters are disfranchised ere to have an equal voice in this body with States like Pennsylvania. or i've or ten times their population and with man. hood /dnraEe: if New York. which casts because of it's manhood suffrage. 1.sf7siz votes. is to be feutrsllseA ia tseis- laticn Affecting her vest interests by Mississippi. casting Se.seo vctes, becauss the majority of her citizens are disfran- chised--then the situation becomes in- toierable.
 If Aisbana, with two senstors hes q white voting population about equal to the i've States of Delaware. Idaho, Mon. tanA, Nevada and wyomins. with ten Senators. what are you going to do about 1t! will chauncey admit that Aiabams should have fifteen or sixteen tines q much power in the .Naticaai Senate q Wyoming has? i, If not. what is the usi cf all his rot about equality?
 And for DepAw. Senator Sy the tface of Boss Platt. to talk about manhood suffrage" in New York or PknnsyivanIa is All rot and he knows it. If ht he'd said "bcsshood euffrAte." he would have come nearer the mark. Any one at al familiar with the political conditionA And practices in those States knows that in dependent suffrage is myth, and that Republicans are voted as surely sht much more openly than the negroes have ever been in the South, even admitting all that is chsrsed by the writers and speakers of the North. Chauncey evidently wanted to brace up Crumpacker and his schemes. but he will find 1t worse than up-hiti work. There are too many Northern communltiea which would suffer from . rigid inquiry into their election methods. and an in. vestigation once set going might uncover practices which our Northern brethren would much rather keep dark.

Referring to some comments made by this paper on a recent statement in The Huntsville Republican, that papet says:
 If the editor of our esteemed conten- porary will set some one to read over our paragraph above quoted. he wilb ob. serve that we did not state that the Republicans cast 30 per cent of the vote for ratification, but vice versa.
 What The Republican did say was, speaking of the anti-ratihers:
 They believe that they made a great split in the Democratic Party on the Constitution vote, but they are mist aken About 50 per cent of that vote was cast by Republicans.
 So 1t seems that we were both in error The Republican did not say that 30 pei cent of the vote for ratification was cas, by Republicans. nor did it say that 30 per cent of the vote against ratification wal Republican votes. Better get sonnebod, to read your own statement.
