A STRANGE CASE.
Wounded Persons Unable to Tell
Who A~ssailants Were.

Missoula, Sept. Ira Presley
and his wife, whose home is near SUI
perior, are at Pearson's hospital in
this city, both near death and unable
to tell who wounded them. Pressley's
throat is cut from ear to ear and the
oma is unconscious from blow on
the head that caused confusion of the
skull.
The man is conscious and says he
was in bed when his throat was cut,
but does not know how the deed was
done. How Presley has kept alive
the "a hours last past is a wonder.
His wind pipe is apparently severed,
By pressing the chin downward to
the chest in such a ann as to
bring the severed windpipe together
the mar can speak in a barely audible
voice and in this manne was able to
answer a few questions. He denies
having any trouble with his wife.

Cleyeland, Sept. 15.-Grand Master
G. H. Morrissey, of the Brotherhood
of Railway 'Trainmen, today authoriz,
ed the following statement:
"The different stories that are aris-
ing pertaining to a movement on the
part of the conductors and trainmen
in the western country, for a raise of
wages, are in the main inaccurate
and misleading. They probably grow
out of the fact that an association
of the general committee of the Or
der of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood Of Railway Tfrainmen
for this territory, was formed in June
at Kansas City, at which time the
question of increase of pay for men
in train and yard service wass dis
cussed. But il anything is done
through these organizations in this
direction, it will be along orderly
lines, and in accordance with the long
established laws of the bodies affect

Car Will Ignore Vatican While Wis

Rome, Sept. 15.-The
ment that the czar, when he returns.
the. visit Of King Victor Emmanuel,
will not call On the pope has serious
.ly disturbed the vatican. It is said
that the Russian minister to the Holy
See will purposely be absent from
Rome during the ~sojourn Of the szar,
SO as to render it easier to ignore
the vatican. Papal diplomacy is doing
its utmost to prevent such an awk-

the desire Of the car to show his dis
pleasure at the pope's action in with
drwaing the papal nuncio from The
Hague because he was not invited to

HENDERSON DECLINES TO Ac.
cEPT NOMINATION.
Views Regarding Trust Question Not
in Accord With Republicans
Of District.

Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 16.-Speaker
Henderson, finding that his views in
respect to the treatment Of trusts by
reducing the tariff in whole or in part,
are not in accord with the views of
many of his party in Iowa, has this
day declined to accept the nomination
for congress and has withdrawn from
the race
Speaker Henderson addressed the
following letter to c. E. Allbrook Of
Eldora, Iowa, chairman of the notif1ca-
ton committee:
"My Dear Sir: I have never an.
swered the kind notice communicated
by you and your associates, advising
me of my nomination for the eleventh
time by reclamation as republican
candidate for congress for the Third
congressional district of Iowa. Re
ported conditions in the public mind
in my district upon public policies in
duced me to take this delay. Since
my return to the district l have made
a careful study as to the sentiment
in the district and state, and l believe
that there is no little sentiment and
a growing one among republicans that
| do not truly represent their views on
the tariff question.
believing this condition to exist
and knowing that l do not agree with
many of my people that the trusts
to which I am and have been obpos.
ed can be curbed, or the people bene-
flied by free trade in whole or in part,
| must decline to accept the nomina-
ton SO graciously and enthusiastical-
ly made.
81 have devoted 20 of the best years
of my life to the service of my peo-
pie and my country and have fought
for what l believed to be best for the
farmer, the laborer and the business
interests of this district and state. l
am grateful for the devotion that has
ever been accorded to me and to the
hour of my death l will hold in a
grateful heart the memory of that
devotion.
Il will later on give in some detail
my views and conviction on our con.
ditions and on public questions and
state my reasons why the republican
party and it's policies shall continue
in the confidence of the voters of the
United States and why the doctrines
of democracy should find no lodgment
in the faith and teachings of the re-
publican party. Very truly yours,
ID. B. HENDERSON,"

DECIDED on IN CONFERENCE
Outline Of Republican Policy Agreed
Upon at Meeting Of Party
5r Leaders.

Oyster Bay Sept. 16.-There, is to
be no revision of the tariff at the next
session Of congress. The president
is to maintain his attitude of opposi-
ton to the trusts. He Is to persist
in his demands for reciprocity with
Cuba and fully outline his position to
audiences in the beet sugar states on
his coming western tour beginning
with Detroit the 22d Of September.
The foregoing briefly indicates the
conclusions reached by those partici-
pating in today's all-day conference
at Sycamore Hill. Besides the pres
ident, those present were Postmaster
General Payne, the foremost Of the
presidents political advisers, and
senator Hanna Of Ohio, Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island, Senator ALI
son Of Iowa, Senator Lodge Of Mas
sachusetts and Senator Spooner of
Wisconsin.
The parties to the conference came
in at 1920 o'clock this afternoon and
were driven at once to Sycamore Hill.
Postmaster General Payne left for
New York at 6:35 o'clock tonight. The
others remained together for some
time after that, the senators leaving
on the 1910 train in the private car
of President Baldwin Of the Long Is
land railroad.
Several other subjects were under
consideration. The general political
situation was c~anvassed, especially in
it's aspect in the western states
through which the president is ito
pass on his coming trip, beginning
next Friday. President Roosevelt
outlined the line of argument which
he intends to pursue in the speeches
which he will deliver on his journey.
In the main they will deal with the
trusts, much after the name of
those delivered in the New England
states. It was stated that great unan-
unity of opinion prevailed and that
the president was cordially backed in
his position by all those present. The
coal strike was not mentioned, not
being within the scope of subjects
the conferees had come to discuss.
Whether or not the revision of the
tariff is to be made an administration
policy for 1904 has been left open.
Great surprise occurred at the con-
ference when word was received from
Dubuque announcing that Speaker
Henderson had declined a renomina-
ton.

er's Death.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE circum,
stances that led to the MURDERS OF
Banker Nicholas Fish by Private De.
tective Thomas ]. Sharkey, in a sa.
loon on West Thirtyfourth street, have
now been fully cleared up.
Sharkey, the jealous lover Of one
of the two women who were drinking
with the banker in the place, was
held by Coroner Jackson in $4,000
bail for the grand jury.
Stories of what led directly to the
killing of Mr.. Fish vary somewhat,
but all agree as to the main fact that
Sharkey struck him a terrible blow
on the head.
1t was known that Sharkey was an
ardent admirer of Mrs. Phillips and
that he suddenly became jealous IF
the attention Mr.. Fish was paying her
and struck the blow that caused
death.
The coroper said the autopsy show
ed that Mr.. Fish's death was due to
hemorrhage of the brain. the direct
result of a heavy blow on the head.
This disposes of the theory that
death was caused by a fracture of the
skull, due.to a fall.

LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSE

ANNUAL REPORTS ASKED
State Superintendent Sends Blanks
to Those Of Counties Gen.
u Under Way.

M uO UA1O0u VI RuUllSlVy anu QlOulOs
ton Of the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition has adopted a form of advertis-
ing that is bound to make it popular
with the higher grade pupils of the
public schools of the state, in fact in
all of the states included in the ter
ritory originally owned by France and
the purchase of which the exposition
is to commemorate. Each pupil of
those schools is to receive q map
showing the purchased area, with 9th
Ell acquisitions Of territory, and will
get it without cost or trouble.
State Superintendent WEIGH is in
receipt of a letter from the bureau
in which ar offer in made to supply
the maps, q sample Of which accom-
pa1ies the communication, and only
hiz.~cgnsent is, necessary to make, as
the bureau believes, both teachers and
pupils happy. The sample submitted
shows the map to be about the size
of a large sheet of letter paper, but
it seems to be complete. On the re-
verse side are a number of questions
and relating to the history
of the Louisiana purchase along with
much general information in regard
to the exposition to be held in 1904.
The intention Of the bureau to
place copies Of the maps into the
hands of the pupils is stated in the
letter, in which 1t is said:
If this meets your approval, will
you furnish us a list of the city and
county superintendent, or the prin-
cipals and teachers Of your state? On
receipt of the names from you we will
forward q sufficient number of the
maps to enable the superintendent or
teachers to place n in the hands of
each pupil of the higher grades. The
maps will be furnished without cost,
and will b. sent postpaid
The list requested will be forward
ed in a short time, it is said, and the
children Of Montana may soon expect
to. be supplied with maps that will
accomplish a two-fold purpose-ad-
vertising the exposition and instilling
knowledge into youthful minds.
Sending Out Blanks.
The Office of the state superintend-
ent of public instruction has sent out
blanks to the various county superin-
tendents which they are to use in
making their annual reports to the
state superintendent for the current
year. The recipients are reminded of
the urgency Of speedy compliance
with the order for submission of the
reports to the state superintendent,
Is they must be in his possession no
later than the first of November.
From them he complies his report to
the legislature, which must be print
ed and ready for distribution to the
members by January 1.
Taking the Census.
The school census is now being
taken in the districts all over the
state, the law providing for collect
ing the statistics within the first 20
days of September. The county SUI
perintendents will then have more
than a month in which to make up the
report from the census takers figures,
and it is earnestly hoped at the state
superintendent Office that the coun-
ty superintendent will be prompt in
filling out and returning the blanks.
