National Organizer Weed Calls on His
Honor to Express Gratitude.

Honor to Express Gratitude.
New Haven, Aug 21.-National Or
ganizer Weed OF Holyoke, of the Ma
tional Alliance of Street Railroad En-
ployes, was in this city during the
week. His mission was to person
ally and officialIy extend to Mayor j.
p. Studley the thanks of the of'ganiza-
ton for the stand taken by his honor
during the recent unpleasantness be-
tween the corporation and organized
labor. Mr. Weed was the guest of
Former President Joseph Belasco Of
the trades council and incidentally dis
cussed the rumor that the trolley men
had another grievance against the Fair
Haven e Westyille road.
The runlor was given credenceS by
one Of the newspapers and consider
able talk resulted from the publication
OF the rumor. Mr. Weed investigated
the story and learned that there were
no grounds for the rumor and also
learned that the story published was
the result of confusion of titles of
corporations, there having been two
meetings held by two branches of the
Iron Moulders' union to take action
in regard to alleged misunderstanding
between the members OF the union and
the employer.
AS there was nothing on the surface
for which the Fair Haven & West
vile road could be held responsible,
Mr. Weed dismissed the subject from
his mind and sought the mayor. His
honor was dining at Heublein's when
Mr. Weed and Mr. Belasco, arrived and
the three had d pleasant chat Mr.
Weed expressed his personal gratifca-
ton over the attitude OF the mayor
during the strike in this city and of
ficially thanked him in in the name
of the organization for his record for
fair mindedness and sympathy made
during the trouble here. Mr. Weed
left for his home this noon.

MORBID RELIC HUNTERS.
Vandals Disfigure Coffin of Dead
Bandit Younger.

Lees Summit, Mo-, Oct. %. The
body of Jim Younger, the bandit, who
shot himself at St. Paul, arrived here to-
day and probably will be buried in the
family lot tomorrow.
Pail bearers have been selected from,
Younger's former Missouri friends,
several of whom knew him from child
hood and served with the Houngers UNI
der Quantrell.
When the coffin arrived it was seen
that many splinters had been cut from
the pine box inclosing it, presumably by
relic hunters, who had met the funeral
party at different points along the route
from the north.
The four corners had been Whitfield
with knives and long slivers cut off.
while, along the top of the lid wherever
entrance could be made for the point O
a knife, the vandals had desecrated the
coffin. Under the undertakers card was
the waybill. Even this had been tori
and fragments carried off until but little
except the bare address was left.

HAIs WARDROBE DEPLETED.
sam Church the Victim Of an I'm.
feeling Wretch.

Sam Church the Victim of an Un-
feeling Wretch.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
The scriptural adage, pride goeth
before a great fall" is being bitterly
realized by Sam Church today.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Church was
in Chicago and the thought struck
him that a man in his position in
life should be dressed nearer up to
the limit. He accordingly went
around to a fashionable tailor and
ordered a swell" suit of clothes,
with an extra pair of trousers off the
same piece of goods. One pair were
completed before he left the city, and
he donned them, leaving the discard
ed mes to come with the new suit.
He also bought for Mrs. Church a
handsome fur collarette.
The package arrived by express
yesterday and by mistake was deliv-
cred at the residence of P. H. Smith.
A short time later Mrs. Church
drove by Mr.. Smiths house and the
mistake having been discovered, the
package was given to- her. She
drove home with it and left it on the
front porch while she went around
to the barn to unhitch the horse. In
the interim a fellow happened along
and stole the bundle and made of
with it.
The theft wa sreported to the po'
lice and this morning Chief Jackson
made a thorough search of all the
cars en- the Northern Pacific and Bur.
llngton tracks between the west end
of town and the stockyards and his
labors were rewarded by finding the
vest and two pairs of trousers in a
car at the Burlington stockyards.
The section men gave him a descrip-
ton of the man who put the clothes
in the car. They said the fellow
was so drunk when he crawled into
the car that he was scarcely able to
stand on his feet.
After finding the clothes the chief
procured a horse and rode nearly to
Huntley in an Nendeavor to find the
man, but his search was unsuccessful.
He is of the opinion that the man is
concealed about town somewhere and
has hopes of capturing him. He still
has the coat and collarette.

ALLEGED SENTIMENT IN FAVOR
OF DIVISION.
THEY WANT TO CUT LOOSE
Eastern Montanans Growing Weary Of
Continuous Mining Litigation
and CIashing interests.
ON Thursdays Daily Gazette.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
L1t is said that not a few of the cit
liens of eastern Montana favor a d.
vision of the state. A Helena man
who returned a few days ago from
that part Of the state said that he
was questioned relative to the amount
of assessable property and the popu-
lation that the state of eastern Mon
tana would have if it were created.
He prepared some figures today from
the official records, says the Herald.
IF the state of Montana" he said,
were divided by placing IA counties
a division, SO that what might be
called Eastern Montana would con-
tain the counties of Chcteau, Valley,
Cascade, Fergus, Dawson, Broad
water, Meagher, Gallatin, Park, Sweet
Grass, Carbon, Yellowstone, Rosebud,
and Custer. That would give the So
called cow counties a state of IA
counties. Taking the returns of the
assessors for this year these counties
would have a taxable wealth of $685.
100000 as compared with an assessed
valuation of $79,376,39 for the whole
state at the time Montana was ad-
mitted into the union. Two years
ago the population of these counties,
according to the federal census, was
sc, 900. 1t is fair to presume that in
the two years that have elapsed since
the census was taken that the popu-
lation of the counties has increased to
nearly 100000. AT the time that the
state of Idaho was admitted into the
union it had a population of only S.
900, or considerably less than the pop
ulation of the proposed state of East
ern Montana. When Wyoming was
admitted in 1890, it had a population
| Of 60, 1000, while the state of Oregon
when admitted in 1859 had only So,
900 inhabitants.
"The division of the state may be
nothing but a dream of some people
living in the eastern part of the state
who claim to have grown weary OF
the mining litigation and the clash
in the state between mining interests
| While the matter never in our time
may become a reality it is not among
the impossibilities.
t"The portion Of the original state
that would be left after the division
would, of course, consist of the es
sentially mining counties with
the possible exception of Mis-
soula, Flathead and Ravalli. You
would be surprised to know how the
sentiment is growing in eastern Mon
tana for a division of the state.
question whether it will be done, how.
ever, as congress has not shown q
disposition of late years to create new
states, as for instance in the case
of Oklahoma"

BISHOP BREWER SPOKE.
Montana Divine Addressed the Epis.
copaI Missionary Council.

Philadelphia, Oct. 22.-Bishop Tut
tie of Missouri presided at the bust
ness session today of the missionary
council of the Protestant Episcopal
church. Rev. G.. S.. A. Rose of Mon
terey, Mexico, addressed the council
en- church conditions in his diocese.
He stated that the large increase in
the American population of Mexico
has rendered it imperative that the
council take more notice of that Il
try. Other denominations are pro-
crossing there with rapid strides, he
asserted, and the members of the
Episcopal church were asking more
consideration from the council.
Right Rev. T. N. Morrison, bishop
of Iowa, presided at the conference
session. The subject discussed was,
is a Change in the Missionary Canon
Desirable?"
The speakers were the Right Rev.
H. Y. Satterlee. D. D., bishop of
Washington, and Right Rev. L. r.
Brewer, D. D., bishop of Montana.
