HOME CURED HAMS.
An Easy Method Which Dispenses
With Pork Barrel and SmOkehOuse.

An Easy Method Which Dispenses
with Pork Barrel and SmOkehOuse.
1t is unnecessary to have barrel in
which to make a pickle. We have had
excellent success by the following
method: Cut off the skin, except around
the end, so that the salt and smoke will
act more easily and quickly. The skin
Is left around the small end to hold the
cord to hang them up by. A small tea
cupful of fine salt is rubbed together
with two heaping tablespoonfuls Of
powdered saltpeter. This mixture Is
heated and rubbed over the hams.
For convenience each ham is placed
on folded newspaper, with sheet of
plain white or manila paper next the
ham, and whenever the ham is moved
1t is done by placing the hands under
the paper ON which it rests. While cur
ing, the hams are kept in cool place,
but are not allowed to freeze. The
mixture is used every few days for
about three weeks, and it is impossible
to get the hams too salt in this way.
Two or three times during the curing
process we rub the hams with molasses
into which a little soda has been stir
red
For a smokehouse a tight barrel Is
all that Is necessary. Some live Goals
are put in an old pan that has been
partly filled with ashes. Corncobs are
broken up and laid on the Goals. They
do not blaze, but give a dense smoke
When the smoke is going nicely, the
pan is quickly placed on the bottom
of the barrel, and stick on which the
hams are strung is placed across the
top. If the cord Is short, the hams dc
not hang near enough to the fire to d.
any harm.
The barrel is covered first with {
newspaper, then with an old piece o.
sacking or carpeting, and the whole
pressed down with boards. The ham
are left here for three or four hours
the longer the better. The smoking
process can be repeated as many time
as desired, but probably two or thre
times would be enough for most faml
lies. They are not ready to eat for a
least two weeks after smoking. Il
fact, the longer they are kept, provides
they do not spoil, the better they are

to the controversy is claiming a vic
tory Reports received here from
coal ompanies all over the region
are tothe effect that at least twelve
collierps and four washeries started
operations today. President Mitchell,
in a tik with correspondents, assert
ed tha reports received by him from
his liutenants in the field showed
fewer men at work today than last
week.
II isluite evident that extra efforts
were Iade on both sides to gain an
advantage. Soldiers of the Third
brigade were sent into outlying min
ing toms in this region today, before
startineup time, to patrol roads lead

soldiers were sighted in twos and

corners.but they were not compelled
to rescp anyone from the strikers.

EDITOR IN TROUBLE.


Butte, Oct. 12.-J. w. Kelley, an edi-
tor of the Inter-Mountain, tonight shot
DR.. A. ii. Cayley, prominent resi-
dent OF Butte. Cayley, it is believed,
will die. Officers are searching for
Kelley.
The shooting occurred between IL
and IL O'Clock last night, but so quiet
was the affair kept tnat the police
did not hear of it until late this even
ing. Kelley, it is said, suspected in
timacy between a woman of whom he
was enamored and DR.. Cayley, and
Saturday night he lay in hiding and
surprised the two in the woman s
room. Kelley, with a pass key. got
into the room and Immediately opened
fire. The first shot went wild and
Cayley grappled with Kelley, but was
felled by blow from the vutl of Kel-
leys revolver. With the prostrated
man on the floor, Kelley again fired,
the bullet taking effect in Cayley's
shoulder. The missile was DETECTED
by a shoulder blade, and, ranging
down, it passed through the left lung,
stopping near the spinal cord. COM
pletely paralyzing the left side of the
victim.
At late hour tonight the doctors
express no hope for Cayleys recovery.
Kelley, who is still at large, is believ-
ed to be hiding in the city. His cap
ture is thought to be matter of but
few hours. DIR. Cayley is one of
the best known physicians in the city
and is married. Kelley is single.
Butte. Oct. 13.-The most important
development in the DR.. Cayley shoot
ing affair today was that j. w. Kel-
ley gave himself up to the authorities.
1t was about 1880 o'clock When Kel-
ley walked into the police station
where Chief Reynolds was sitting at
the time. After making few COM
mon place remarks kelley informed
the chief that he was at his service.
Tne officer at once knew that Kelley
had come to give himself up. and
treated him accordingly. Nothing
was said about the case by the two
men. The chief stated to newspaper
man that he was not there to question
the prisoner and did not feel, under
the circumstances, line touching on a
matter somewhat painful to both.
Mr.. Kelley did not volunteer any
thing by way of explanation of the
affair, and the officer asked no ques-
tions. In fact, Kelley had already
seen his attorney, c. F. Kelley and
A. ]. Campbell. and had been advis-
ed to say nothing about his case.
The attorneys thought 1T would be
for the best interests of their client
If he maintained silence.

vULeARITY CONDEMNED.
Respectable People of Fergus County
Certainly Approve This.

A tidal wave of condemnation
against the corrupt and vulgar Heinze
press has set in, and is growing in
intensity day by day, every respecta
BILE citizen in Butte censuring in un-
measured terms the spirit and purpose
of the obscenity displayed.
Heinze seems to have forgotten that
the average citizen possesses the in
stincts of gentleman, and turns with
disgust from the vulgarity exhibited
in the columns of his Shiny press.
Thousands of copies of this obscene
publication. which could have no leg
itimate place in the United States
mails, were scattered about the city
only to be promptly thrown into the
fire by reputable citizens who respect
the home circle and would not permit
such trash to be read by their fami-
lies.
The Heinze campaign tnat depended
upon such rotten exhibitions is rapid
ly going to pieces, and even the fat
pocketbook of the United Copper Co.
will not be able to sustain until elec-
tion day.
Its overwhelming defeat long before
the polls are opened is now a foregone
conclusion.-Butte Miner.

''the laboring men in Missoula and
Ravalli counties will almost to a man
support the Republican candidate. 1t
might make my meaning palmer to
say that they will vote against the
Democratic candidate, John Morgan
Evans. They do not consider that the
labor candidate has any chance. and is
the Democratic candidate, for various
reasons, is not satisfactory, they will
vote for Dixon.
Besides this feeling against Mr..
Evans, that have as yet only limited

occasions proven his high regard for
organized labor, and anyway he will

Democratic Candidates Have Been
Trying to Get Office for 10 These
Many, Many Years.
BUT VOTERS REPUDlATEo THEM
Hoseland, HiIger, Slater, Shaw and
Maeoowan a Quintet of Time Worn
Candidates for Office.

olutt last Nteh DeHOtIdl Illdnl-
tested a disposition TO discuss the
number of times the same men have
been candidates for office. the ARGUS
has been doing a little investigating.
The Democrat stated that Belden, can
didate for county attorney. had held
office two years; F. Z. Smith, candi-
date for the legislature. ten years; j.
years-two years OF which, by the
way, were spent in carrying a musket

tai of iG years. With trifing cor
rection the statement. we believe, Is
correct. Waite held a one year and
a two year term. three instead of
four bringing the total down to As
years.
But how is it with five of the Dem
ocratc candidates?
Hogeland. candidate for surveyor,
Hilger. candidate for representative,
MacGowan. candidate for county at
torney, Shaw for treasurer and Slater
for sheriff, also have a long record.
But not of holding office. OF being
turned down by the voters Of Fergus
county Is the fact. This lot has been
repudiated by the people time and
time again and of the forty-ive years
they have wanted office. they have
only succeeded during total of IL
years. They are time worn candidates
and are before the people again this
year for another turning down.
The Republican candidates have
been tried and found satisfactory,
some of the Democratic candidates
have been tried and found wanting
others, the people never would take
a chance with.

Committee on Resolutions"
The action of the Democratic coun-
ty convention of 1900, referred to in
the resolutions, is fresh in the minds
of Missoula laboring men. DESTROYS
of having a laboring man given a po-
sition on the county ticket at that
time, candidate for sheriff was chos-
en- and the laboring men supported
him in the Democratic county con-
vention.
Mr.. Evans, who was then, as he is
now, the leader of the Clark forces
in this county. took the floor and
spoke against the labor candidate in
such scathing language that, being
unexpected by the candidate and his
supporters. had the effect of defeating
him in the convention.
Against Labor Candidates
At the convention OF the Democrats
of Missoula county held here couple
of weeks ago, the labor organizations
again had a candidate for sheriff and
the Democratic leaders again showed
their friendship for the united labor
ers. by turning down their candidate.
Not only did they turn down the
laboring mems candidate for sheriff
at the last convention. but union men
who were named for couple of other
offices as well were turned down.
The Western Montana Trades and
Labor council is representative of all
the labor unions in Missoula, Ravalli
and Flathead counties, and .-e action
of the council means that John Nor
gan Evans candidacy is condemned
by the union laborers Of the three
counties.
The resolutions printed above were
adopted without dissenting vote,
showing the delegates present from
the different unions to be unanimously
opposed to him.
