A POOR PROPHET.

Editor Goshorn- he who would
disdain to be called Murphy-prom-
ises victory to the followers of the
chameleon candidate, but will tell a
different story in mis- next issue.
The Inter Lake has always fought
Griffin and always promised his de-
feat, but the people who have the
real interests of the city at heart are
in such a majority that the Inter
Lakes promises are always found to
be false.
Of course, Goshorn, knows that he
alone is capable of presenting an in
telligent reason to a voter, and that
the other newspapers of Kalispell are
edited by men away below himself
in ability and intellect; therefore, he
cannot understand why his utter
ances have so little weight and are
so lightly regarded. No doubt, in his
heart, he believes that the fellows
VINO don't wear silk underclothes are
not capable of approaching him, and
if he could have his way he would
deprive the Murphys, the Johnsons
and the Schmidts of any vote at all.
1t is true the editor of this paper
has never had the advantage of at
tending college in Iowa nor associ-
ated with people who knew they
were better than others; we have
never thought less of man because
of his underwear, and we must con-
fess in all sincerity that we cannot
bring ourselves to appreciate this
product of Iowa's intellectual atmos-
phere, nor do we believe that Winter
set lost all it's brains when Goshorn
carpet-bagged to the west.

WANTED---A REASON,

The Inter Lake, in series of
squibs seeks to give a reason for Lo-
gan's election as mayor of Kalispell
but to one who reads its editorial
page there is not real reason given
and it is very evident that none
exists.
Thinking republicans know that
Logan's election merely puts a prem
ium on being a party bolter and that
to be successful in politics one ought
to train periodically with every part.
They also know that should any
other party offer Logan nomina-
ton next fall, he would as readily
desert them as he did to take a popu-
list nomination, and as readily as he
deserted the popunst party to take a
republican nomination.
Logan's fiops have always been fol-
lowed by nomination, and the hope
of nomination has always caused
him to flop.
Republicans ought to be proud to
sport men without political princi-
pies and devoid of political con-
sistency.
During Mr.. Grifin's term as MAYOR
the city has grown and prospered and
is today in splendid shape financially
and is free from lawlessness and
crime
Mr.. Griffin has conducted the af-
fairs of the city successfully and is
a capable business man in eyerv
way, while on the other hand Logan
while county attorney came near
bankrupting the county, and has
never managed even his own affairs
Logan is impractical, extravagant
and in every way untitled to hold
any office requiring executive ability.

LOGAN'S VARIED POSITION.

Kalispell has always been forum.
ate in having a board of aldermen
composed of our best business men,
The city has been handled in a bust
nesslike manner, and as a result is
in better financial shape than any
other incorporated city or town in
Montana.
During the six years Mr.. Griffin
has been mayor, not an unpleasant
word has ever been spoken in the
council room. The aldermen meet
and handle the city business as Icy
handle their own. Contrast this with
the scenes which have taken place
in cities close to us. Even during
tie past year fights and squabbles in
every council, and in nearly every in
stance politics being at the bottom
of it, Kalispell for six year. has
been run on business basis and not
political, and as a result the city adj
ministration has been success.
What would it be under Logan? Stop
and think
AS for Mr.. Logans political record,
there is nothing to be disclosed.
everyone in Kalispell and even in
Flathead county knows the lack of
consistency which has always
been an accomplishment of his race
for popular suffrage. He is keeping
up his old record in this city cam
paign, and, besides promising offices
to everyone who would like to have
them, is also pledging himself on cp-
posite sides of the saloon and bawdy
assures he will see to it that
the variety shows are closed,
while to others he has given
assurance that their business will in
nowise be disturbed under the Logan
administration. To the purists, with
whom he trained one year ago, he
has given a promise that the pripci-
pies then advocated by him would be
maintained under the Logan admin
istration.
Mr.. Griffin has admirably filled the
chief position in affairs for three
terms. There is only a nominal sal
airy consideration, but the good of
the city is what he has at heart, and
the opportunity of advancing it's well

TOTHE CITIZENS OF KALISPElL

An election will be held on Mon.
day for the election of municipal Off
GERS for the city of Kalispell, and be-
fore you cast your ballot on that day
as intelligent citizens having always
in mind the good of our city, con-
slider for moment the issues in
volved.
The citizens ticket, which has had
the responsible task of administering
the affairs of the city for the past
six years, headed by w. H. Griffin,
one of the foremost business men of
the city, on its record in the past
asks for an Endorsement at your
hands. During that time the city has
progressed as has no city in this
state. The warrants of the city are
at par, there is no outstanding In
debtedness, and no new town in the
west has better streets or is better
lighted, and strangers from the east
often remark that the city is orderly
and that the class always incident to
the growth of a new towns is well
controlled.
Our republican contemporary
charges gross extravaganza, if not

The devil recommending holy wa.
ter is about as consistent as the Inter
Lakes support and Endorsement of
the labor plank in the alleged plat
form. The just wage which Goshorn
is indorsing is denied to his own
workmen, and he himself stated to
an official of the Kalispell Labor
union that he would not and could
not pay such extravagant wages as
the Bee people were getting. In
view of this fact can any member
of organized labor afford to vote the
Inter Lake ticket, and thus assist an
establishment that is manifestly un.
fair?

POOR BILLY RICHARDS.

AS Mr.. Logan is making a great
effort to secure tie support of rail-
road men and friends of labor
unions, it may not be amiss to
recall a page from Mr.. Logans Off
cial life during the A. R. U. strike
on the Great Northern in 1894. Mr..
Logan was then county attorney, and
in his desire to stand in with the
railroad octopus he was more than
Jealous in his prosecution of alleged
offenders against railroad property
and rights.
During that strike a young man,
residing in Kalispell with his parents
and also a property owner, Billy
Richards by name and an employee OF
the Great Northern, became obnox.
ious to the railroad company's agents
and corporation detectives, and his
arrest was procured upon trumped
up charge that he had fired a bridge
along the line near Columbia Falls.
Richards chief crime was in being
an active member of the A. R. u; he
was brakeman in the service of the
Great Northern and a very likely boy
and his influence in A. R. U. circles
was considerable.
The representatives of the COM
pany determined to make an example
of Richards, and in Sidney Logan

telligent citizen can go to the books
of any officer of the city and he will
find a record of every dollar that has
ever been paid to the city, whether
in the shape of taxes, licenses or
fines

Attention is called to the financial
statement published in another col
umn over the signature of City Clerk
Gray. Starting with an Indebtedness
of $4,000, the present city admins
tration has wiped out that indebted
ness and has to show upon the credit
side of the ledger balance of
$S,512,45, besides which street i'm
provements have been made to the
value of about $4,000. These figures
tell their own story and utterly refute
the charge of extravaganza made in
general terms by those who are seek
ing to gain control of the city's af-
fairs for political purposes.

Mr.. Logan, the whilom republican
at present candidate for the office
of mayor, in an address to labor men
last Sunday expressed himself as be
ing in favor of the public ownership
of public utilities. That's good! It
sounds very much like a plank from
the Kansas City platform that he de.
nounced in 1900. Now let us be hon.
est. Mr.. Logan is on the same ticket
as Ward Buckingham, who holds a
responsible position with the Kalis-
pell Water company, a company
whose franchise expires in short
time and is now endeavoring to fas-
ten its grip on the city by the cleo
ton of officers that are friendly to
the renewal of it's charter. Logan's
promises to the workingmen must be
taken as the remarks of a kings
jester. Promises lightly made are
easy to break and it is safe to trust
the conservative and progressive men
on the citizens ticket, who have so
judiciously handled the affairs of the
city in the past.

Had the republicans been so conf
dent in their strength and party or
ganization, in Kalispell, they would
not have been forced to present such
a weather beaten and damaged vessel
as Sidney Logan to the people as
their standard bearer. If there were
only enough police appointments,
road supervisors and clerks to go
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-04-05

Every candidate whom the citizens
nominated for alderman is a citizen
fairly representative of all the peo-
pie in his ward, anxious that the city
should progress, determined to give
the best possible administration, and
no fault can be found with any of
them. All are well known, esteemed
and popular citizens, whose election
will insure economical government
anu a removal of all faulty policies.

around, Logan's promises might help
the vote out appreciably. The citi-
zens' ticket is not composed of all
democrats or all populists, or all
union men; but is happy combina-
ton which appeals to all excepting
only the man with a grievance.

BIG GAMBLING HOUSE.
One Is Started i'm Crawford
Theater Building.

The newest gambling joint to be
opened up in Topeka, and which is now
in operation, is in the front rooms of
the Crawford building, on the second
floor opposite the main entrance to the
theater.
The place is elegantly fitted up with
polished hardwood floor and handsome
wall decorations. A large canvas COW
cred table, where the crap game" is
carried on, occupies the south portion
of the large room that will amply ac-
comm odate the faro bank and roulette
wheel of every well regulated gambling
joint. Balcony rooms are built on either
side of the north end of the room. the
floors of which are high enough to al
low people to move about underneath.
The rooms are reached by a short flight
of steps, and the round tables for poker
will be found there.
The place may be reached by ascend
ing the stairs to the parquet entrance
to the theater. An iron railing at the
head of the stairway divides a space
for those who do not wish to enter the
theater to pass through the hall to the
joint. The railing also provides an out
let to the joint for the patrons of the
theater. Entering the joint one passes
through the rooms furnished with
tables and chairs where liquids and
short order lunches are served, to reach
the double door that leads into TIE
gambling room. The place is perhaps
the most luxurious of any in operation
in the city

HONORS MISS LANGTRY.
Beautiful Daughter of the Famous
Actress Meets Queen Alexandra.

London, Feb 1S.-Miss Jeanne Lang
try, the beautiful daughter of Mrs
Langtry. is being entertained very ex-
tensively just at present by leaders in
London society. He social triumph
was reached on Wednesday last, when
she had the honor of being presented
to the queen.
1t all came about in the most uncon-
ventional manner. Consuelo Duchess
of Manchester, had given a luncheon
at which were present NJ. de Sovenal,
Lady Maude Warrender, the Duchess of
Portland and Miss Jeanne Langtry
After the luncheon the ladies entered a
royal carriage, which the Duchess of
Portland has the right to use, owing to
her husband being master of horse, and
drove to the studio of John s. Sargent,
the well known American painter, who
is at present busily engaged on por-
traits of the three Ladies Acheson.
daughters of Lord and Lady Gosford.
When they arrived at the studio they
found another royal carriage standing
there. On entering they found that the
queen, accompanied by Princess Vic
toria and attended by Lady Gosforti,
had called to see the portraits.
The Duchess of Portland presented
Miss Langtry to the queen, who paid
her some very nice compliments.

Big Sanitarium at Battle Creek,
Mich, Burns.
The Four Hundred Patients
We're Taken Out Safely.
BUT TWO ACCIDENTS.
Woman and Girl Jump From
Third Story Window.
Loss is Estimated at Three Hum
dred Thousand Dollars.

Battle Creek, Mich, Feb 1S.-The
great Kellogg sanitarium was entirely
destroyed by fire early today. the
main building is entirely gone, and the
hospital is now afire. Four hundred pa
tients We're taken out safely.
But two accidents occurred during the
removal of 400 patients. One woman
and girl, names unknown, become
frightened and jumped from third
story windows. Both have broken legs.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
main building, which has been de-
stroyed, was 312 by 100 feet and six
stories high. The loss will be at least
$500. 900.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
watchmen ran through the corridors
arousing the sleeping patients on each
of the six floors. Many of them were
unable to help themselves, and were
carried to places of safety by the
nurses. The corridors filled with smoke
very rapidly, and about half of the in
mates of the building were forced to
come down the fire escapes. The sani-
tarium stood, on a hill, and the water
pressure was low, therefore the water
supply was insufficient. Both the main
building and the hospital are now in
ruins. 1t is almost miraculous that
none of the patients lost their lives
The loss will be about 100000 according
to latest estimates.

DETAILS OF THE FIRE.
Miraculous Escape of Four Hundred
Sanitarium Patients.

Battle Creek Mich, Feb. b.1S.-The Kel-
logg, or Seventh Day Adventist sanitar-
ium here, which was located on a hill
at the highest point in the city, was de-
stroyed by fire early today and the pro-
perty loss is estimated at from $500 900
to $400, 900. So far as can be learned
there was no loss of life among the 400
people in the Sanitarium, although one
or two persons are said to be missing
and it is possible that their bodies may
be in the ruins. However those missing
may be in one of the houses or hotels
which have taken in the homeless pat
tents. Mrs. H. c. Daniels of ElDoradO,
Ark, is the only person who was ser
iously injured. She jumped, or fell from
the fire escape at the third story and
sustained a broken leg.
The fire started in the bath room Of
the sanitarium building, probably about
the furnace. A still alarm was turned
in but the first company of firemen call
ed, could not cope with the flames which
shot up the elvator shaft to the roof like
rockets. A general call was sent in but
the fire was beyond control. The water
pressure was low and this added to the
handicap Of the firemen as the Sanitar-
iun stood on a hill. In two hours the
building was in ruins and the hospital
was nearly destroyed. 1t is almost mir
aculous that the 400 sleeping inmates
escaped with their lives. Watchmen
were detailed through the corridors
awakening them when the fire Was dis
covered. Few of them had time to
gather together any clothing, escaping
IN their night clothes. Inc cOrTluOTS
soon filled with smoke and about half of
the patients were compelled to make
their way down the fire escapes. Mrs.
H. c. McDaniels. who was injured was
on the fifth floor. She was awakened by
the cry of fire and rushed to the fire es-
cape on the fourth floor. She got down
safely as far as the third story when
she either jumped or fell. she hardly
knows which She is resting easy and
is in no danger. Mrs. Gillingham of
Atlantic City, N. J., describing her es-
cape said:
II was in my room on the fifth floor
when the nurse rushed to the door cry
ing fire. The electric lights We're going
then but they soon went out and we
were in darkness, but for the flames
which rushed from the tower above our
heads. My aged husband was on the
floor beneath me and had to go down
the fire escape as did /. He was guided
by nurse and escaped safely. Scores
of people were on the escape coming
from all parts of the building and it Is
a wonder that none of them was killed
Firemen Henry Lucas and Arthur
Robinson and Assistant Chief WebbS
were slightly hurt by fall from lad
der
The management of the Sanitarium is
positive that no lives were lost. as eacn
room was visited three times by nurse
before the building was abandoned. The
buildings will be rebuilt Immediately.
