NOT GUILTY. GAYS HEINZE
He Denies He Has Anything to Dc
With Amalgamated Strike.

Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, April AZ. Augustus
Heinze is emphatic in his denial of the
report that he is behind the strike of
Amalgamated Copper company engineers,
which has resulted in closing almost all
of the company's mines.
1t is reported that the Amalgamated
company, while not ayerse to shutting
down during the present dullness in the
copper market, prefers to keep going as
a matter of self-protection for fear that
ore might be illegally taken from it's
mines if they were closed.
1t is expected the mines will resume in
few days, as new engineers are being
broken in.

+ whats In sign?" might be asked
about many of the bulletins posted all
over the city to advertise some business
OF call attention to some particular thing.
The queer turn that is occasionally
given to sign often serves to attract at
tention to it. However, 1t is doubtful if
the proprietor of Market street dry
goods store was pleased with the change
in his sign which occurred recently. He
had notice in front of his place which
road, "The Cheapest Store of the City"
Some one put a theatrical poster over the
first four letters Of the cheapest" SO
that the sign read, 1.-THE Pest Store of
the City" The merchant wondered why
SO few customers called that day.
- 1t must have been with feelings other
than those Of f1attery that the pastor of
a church in Roseville saw notice he put
out reading, '"The pastor will preach here
this evening" changed by the same wag
to '"The pastor will screech here this
evening""
1t was only mistake in spelling which
made the owner Of chair repairing shop
appear to be doing a preserving business
for he had out a notice which announced
''Ohairs Canned Here"
Some stores have hung in the front
window signs made of movable letters set
In frame. A cigar dealer, by name
Vera P. Orr, left 1t to his boy to arrange
on the alphabet. and when half the day
passed and no sales had been made, the
proprietor thought Of looking at the sign.
He expected to find on it the name and an
nouncement that cigars were sold there,
but instead, this is what confronted him:
'Vera Poor Cigars Sold Here"
On Bridge street livery dealer hung
out sign notifying the public that there
would be a fine sale of horses but a boy
with stick dropped in some tar and
changed the en- to an 81" SO that the

his customers meant by asking him if the
horses were badly burned until he saw

more than the usual emphasis was put upon
the winter wheat situation. Nothing Is the

]. B. Ford, the multi-millionaire soda
ash manufacturer Of Wyandotte, who is
dying of cancer at his home in Pennsyl-
yania, was steamboat owner and
operator on the Missouri river forty years
ago, and his craft were destroyed as a
war measure by the government to pre-
vent their falling into the hands Of the
rebels.
To prominent resident of Wyandotte
he recently related that soon after the
close Of the war he opened his barrel to
elect man to congress who was pledged
to present his claim and urge an appro-
priation to liQuidate it. When the con-
gresham got into his seat he forgot all
about the claim, and one day Mr.. Ford
packed his grip, went to Washington. re-
paired to the White House, sent in his
name and soon found himself in the pres
ence of President Grant.
Hello, captain; glad to see you'll ex-
claimed the chief executive. as he shook
hands ever get your pay for those

"No, and that's what am here for"
''Too bad! I'll attend to it,"

New York to L. T. Sowle: We bought stocks
too soon. Far more Importance has been at
tached to the suit against the Northern
Securities company than I supposed. Wall
street people chose to interpret it otherwise.
OF course we are only human to get bullish
ahead of the times. The pity Of 1t, that we
have bought too soon.
Kansas City to Whallon: Receivers advise
that they have been unable to buy any wheat
in the country since the break in the market
last Thursday.
Verhoeff from Milmine: Yesterdays export
business and firm cables causing some
strength, but do not see any general buying.
Without further export sales, think may sell
off some.

sold here at &c per blu. Yesterday cars
