ENTERTAINMENT AT ELIZABETH

Elizabeth was the scene of much
gaiety and pleasure last Saturday night,
as the people of that place gave an en-
tertainment for the benefit of the new
school house which is in course of cree
ton. An interesting programme was
arranged which consisted of music,
recitations and songs. Misses Mary
and Lolie Sheridan. assisted by Mr..
Tom Sheridan, charming vocalists,
sang two or three choice selections,
accompanied by Miss Nigh. Mrs. Grist.
Marietta's most talented vocalist, rem
dered three selections which captured
the audience, accompanied by Miss
Hardeman. Col. J.. u. Foster gave an
able, pointed and eloquent talk on ed
ucation which delighted his listeners.
Misses Moore. Jiles and Edwards
charmed all with recitations, while
little Helen Curry and Master Fred
Barkalow deserve special mention for
their marked ability as young elocu-
tionists. After the programme an
hours pleasure was INDUCED in with
ice cream, cake, lemonade, etc. A
voting contest for the most beautiful
and popular young lady, resulted in
Miss Bert Davis being elected. The
neat sum of 1925 was realized, which
helps to defray the expenses of the new
building.

Senator Clark clinches the editorial
%expositions of his attitude toward Mr..
Heinze which appeared in the Butte
Miner during the past few days by a
personal statement in the form of an
interview, published in his newspa-
per yesterday morning. If the utter
ances of his paid scribe omitted any
thing calculated to make the gen.
tleman of the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing company uncomfortable, the omis-
SIGN is supplied by Mr.. Clark's inter-
view. He leaves no possible room for
doubt as to how he regards the ef-
forts of the young Leonidas" to be
the boss of the democratic party, nor
as to what he will do to foil him in
his ambition.

Minneapolis, Sept. 9.-Miss Anna
Nelson's skill in the use of a hatpin
as a weapon of defense proved of val
ue in resisting the attack of a high
wayman last night.
Miss Nielsen is employed as a serv-
ant in the home of David Simon, 2122

street and Pillsbury avenue, and al
though she lost nothing of value she.
was badly beaten by her assailant.
Miss Nelson vas on her way home
from church, when a man sprang out
of the brush and commanded her to
stop. He then told her not tt be
frightened as he wanted nothing but
her money. The girl informed him
that she had no money. He insisted
that she should give him her purse
and when she failed to to so knocked
her down.
AS she fell she attempted to scream
for help, but the man sprang upon
her and began to choke her. He
threatened to kill her if she continued
to resist and her began to search
her for v%aluables. In the struggle
Miss Nelson drew her hatpin and
made several vicious thrusts at the
man. The point of the pin struck
hard and bent double. It was picked
up near the scene, this morning by
officers detailed to investigate the
matter.
Miss Nelson continued on to her
home after the man had been brighten

badly injured, however. Both her
eyes were swollen shut and her lips
badly cut.

Instead of the reduction predicted
and expected by the democrats, the
republican majority in Maine is about
double that looked for by the leaders
of the party. The news that comes
from the state of spruce gum and
piney woods must contain little con
ISOLATION to the men who are looking
for a political revolution and predict
ing dire disaster to the republican par
ty. Even though it was an "off" year
election, the people of the state that
gained undying fame because of the
manner in which it went for good,
old Governor Kent gave unmistakable
evidence of their devotion to repub-
lican principles and intensity of pa
trlotism. Simply because no national
issue was at stake and only a state
ticket was to be elected they did not
consider that sufficient justification
to swerve from their past course and
give a semblance of endorsement to
the party that would stop the wheels
of progress and is inimical to every
interest of the land.

THE FAIR.

Billings is proud of it's new fair as
ISOLATION and fully appreciates it's ef-
forts in the direction of promoting
the diversified agricultural interests
Of Yellowstone county. By bringing
men who produce the fruits of the
soil into friendly competition the as
sociaticn is doing the community a
great and lasting service and one
bound to be productive of individual
and communal good. Nothing is so
conducive to the best results as when
men engaged in che line of endeavor
are brought together in rivalry of the
sort calculated to spur each to his
best effort, without possibility of en-
%gendering ought but the kindliest and
friendliest feeling. 1t is the expert
ence of the older settled communi-
ties that their annual competitive ex-
hibitions of the husb sandman have
been fruitful of much that has been
beneficial to those taking part in them
as well as to the communities them
selves. They afford opportunities fer
comparison of methods of which the
progressive agriculturalist is not
slow to avail himself and to make
the best cf them, and although he may
not see anything that is sensationally
new or original, yet he may always
learn something and gain ideas that
he "a put to practical application.
The Gazette hopes that the fair
now under way will prove even more
successful than it's promoters dare
hope and that it will be the forerun-
ner of others and much greater and
~pretentious ones in the years to come,
when every possible acre of available
ground in Yellowstone county will
have responded to the magic touch of
irrigation and when the land now bar
rem shall produce the choicest Treas
ures vouchafed the Industrious hus-
bandman.

THEY ARE

The republicans of the state have
no particular interest in the fresh row
Thai is keeping the democrats busy
just now, but they do object to the
assertions that Mr.. Heinze has been a
republican. While unable to prevent
the gentleman from claiming afilia-
ton with the party, the same as some
of the democrats r unable to pre-
vent him from declaiming the SEN
tence that gave fame to the distin-
guishef patriot from Woolfert's
Roost, the republicans of Montana,
for, 10, these many years, have not
recognized the genial manager of the
Montana Lawsuit Purchasing COM
pany as a member of the family and
have accorded him none of the priv
ileges or rights of fraternity. He is
not the only mar who has been gull
ty of flying false colors and if he sue
ceeded in quilting the democrats it
was more than he could honestly
claim credit fer SO far as the republi-
cans are concerned. There may have
been a time when Mr.. Heinze thought
he thought he was a republican, but
that was before his advent into Mon
tana and before he had the right of
franchise because of youthful dis
qualification.

Chairman 1abcock Tells What Issues
Will Be.
New York, Sept. 10.-Representa-
tive Babcock, chairman of the republi-
can congressional committee, says
that protection will be the main issue
of the canvass under his direction.
I'm the first place." Mr.. Babcock
said, "the speaking campaign will be
a defense of the republican policy OF
protection and the general prosperity
resulting from that policy. In the
second place, it will be a defense of
the foreign policy Of the government
in relation to the Philippine islands
and Of the army. In a nutshell, these
r the leading issues that will be dis
cussed."
What position will be taken on the
trust question:" was asked.
"The republican party has a record
on the trust question that was made
in congress-" Mr.. Babcock replied.
Eve endeavored in the Fifty-sixth
congress to pass q constitutional
amendment in relation to trusts, CIV
ing the government more direct SUI
pervision. The two-thirds vote nee
essary to pass it was defeated by the
solid democratic vote against it. The
democrats caucused on the resolution
and the states rights people defeat
ed it.

AN EFFECTIVE PLEA.

Stole. a.

New York, Sept. 10.-Struggling for
II months to earn money by different
and dangerous work, in order that he
might pay back a few hundred dol
lars he had stolen, Herman Apeler
found accident or illness dissipating
his small hoard each time that he
accumulated it and finally broken in
health, he gave himself up. to the au-
thorities in Cleveland. He was re-
turned to Brooklyn and was sentenced
to n months imprisonment
His recital of his experience and his
plea for mercy in a letter he wrote to
Judge Crane was effective. Apeler
is a young man and married. He
was employed as a cashier in Nelson
Morris & Co.'s Brooklyn house for
several years. About ten months ago
he stole $237 and disappeared. The
police lest all trace of him until they
were informed by the police Of Sieve
land that Apeler had surrendered him
self there. A detective was sent to
Cleveland and returned with the plis-
oner He entered a plea of guilty.
Apeler worked in the tunnel under
Lake Erie, at Cleveland at 50 pounds
air pressure. Fifty-nine men were
killed during the two years this tun-
mel was building, and he safely escap-
ed with his life from two accidents
last summer from which IA lives were
lost. He became a sailor on the lakes

QUARTERS FOR VETERANS.
Washington Unable to Furnish Free
Accommodations for All.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Despite the
efforts of the members CT the citi.
zens' executive committee and of the
national officers of the Grand Army,
it is probable that at least a portion
OF the veterans who have applied for
free quarters at the coming encamp-
ment will have to be contented under
canvas. Harrison Dingman, who is
representing Quartermaster General
Burrows, of the G. A. R., in the plac.
ing of the veterans, states that the
entire list of available buildings has
been exhausted.
Applications have been received fer
accommodations for $500 men in free
quarters. OF this number only $500
car be accommodated in the govern
ment printing Office, as only three
floors will be completed in time in
stead Of sever floors, as had original
ly been contemplated. The three out
side buildings will provide quarters
for 2,40O more, making the total quar-
tiers arranged for $500. This leaves
$500 yet to be accommodated.
Mr.. Dingman finds not only that the
rents asked in most instances are
1p%rohibitive, but that the sanitary ar
rangements are such that the health
department would not permit a large
number of men to be %quarteded in the
buildings.
Mr.. Dingman called at the war de-
partment to consult with the quarter
masters department regarding the
furnishing of army tents. These tents
will be made use of only as a last re-
sort, but in view of the present sit
uation no other way out of the diff
Guilty can be discerned.

NAMES THAT ARE MISSING,

In the short time that has elapsed
since the appearance of the now IA.
nous interview in the Miner, OF
course, it has not been possible TO
see all the prominent democrats Of
the state, but it does appear some
what singular that Notwithstanding
their prominence and ease Of ~accessi,
bility as yet the Miner has not pub
lished the expressions of opinion Of
such men as Major Maginnis, A. ].
Davidson and Walter Cooper, the
first two of Helena and the other Of
Bozeman, not to say anything of some
of those who walk daily past the
Miner Office. There is the Hon. James
H. Lynch, for instance, the gentleman
who was the last democratic post
master of Butte, and who is said to
have owed his appointment to Mr..
Clark. He lives in the senator's
home town. Then there is the Hon.
Henry Mueller, who also is entitled to
the distinction OF being classed as
among the prominent members Of the
senator's party. He is another resi-
dent of Butte and most likely has an
opinion OF some sort and it would
undoubtedly be of interest to many
to know what 1t is.
These r only a very few of the
men who might be mentioned who
have not been heard from on a sub
ject of Sc much interest to SO many
people just at present.

BRYAN WANTS
THIRD TRIAL
MING SAILS FOR 1904.
EYES OF FRIENDS
why Allen Pleaded in sehsIf Of Flu.
sion at Grand Island
Convention.

Chicago, Sept. 1O.-Walter Well
man, in a special to the Record-Her
aid from Lincoln, Neb., says, among
otner things, that Mr.. Bryan hope.
to be nominated for the presidenc,
again in 1904.
notwithstanding all the talk to The
e11ect that he has abandoned his am
bltion and publicly announced his re
nunciation, his most intimate friends
here expect to e him in the race two
years hence. David b. Hill, Tom
Johnson, Arthur p. German and 9th
ers who are making ready to admin
lister upon Mr.. Bryan's political les
state should wait and make sure that
MI. Bryan is dead. He may be, and
then again he may not be. Mr.. Bry.
an himself thinks it an open question,
He has his doubts.
About one thing there is no. uncer-
tainty whatever. and this is that Mr..
Bryan wants to fight his third battle
for the presidency, and that he wants
to be a candidate for the democratic
nomination q year from next spring
If, in his judgment, there is the slight
est show of success. l have not seen
MI. Bryan since l came to Lincoln,
but two or three of his closest friends
with whom ! have talked, agree that
this is his attitude. Unless 1t is very
clear that his nomination is absolute
ly impossible, Mr.. Bryan will be in.
the race as usual.
MI. Bryan's friends had been led
to believe that he would not again
seek the presidency, but their eyes
were opened at the meeting of the
democratic and populist state con
vention at Grand Island. There was
some doubt as to whether fusion
could be effected and former Senator
Allen, Mr.. Bryan's spokesman, plead
ed for fusion upon the ground that
only by keeping up the alliance be-
tween the two parties in this state
could Mr.. Bryan win his third nomina-
ton in 1904. This argument was used
publicly and without any effort at
c~oncealment.
Mr.. Bryan himself was in attend
ance upon the convention, and he
pleaded for fusion, though, of course,
without declaring that he wanted it
to help him toward the presidency in
1904. He was aware, however, of the
argument which ex-senator Allen was
using, and made no effort to stop it.
Ever since the Grand Island conven-
tion, Mr.. Bryan's friends have been
convinced that if he is not the nomi-
nee of his party two years hence, it
will be because the party won't have
him and not for any lack of eagerness
on Mr.. Bryan's part.
