1t seems rather remarkable that of
all the inmates of the prison but
were born in Montana, and all of
these are serving sentences for the
first time. 1t is hardly less notable
that the aggregate sentences of these
men is only 10 years. Necessarily a
very large proportion of our popula-
ton comes from other states, and the
conditions under which they are
obliged to exist in the eastern states
cngenders among some a spirit of
carelessness, recklessness and, in
some cases, actual lawlesness. Our
vast territory, much of it wild, unset
tied and almost impenetrable, offers
many opportunities for escape and
freedom after the commission of
crime, which doubtless attracks men
whose carer of crime began in other
states.

tary affairs were in a barren fOrma-
ton ana like other prospectors SINH
larly situated in a new district, she
sought employment in order to get a
start. The Northumberland Mining
company needed a cook about thai
time, and as Miss Corcoran's educa-
ton in the culinary art had not been
neglected. she took the job. After
working u month or two she staked
"a prospector named Eugene Kelly,
and the latter went into the hills
Miss Corcoran was to share anything
he might find. Kelly struck some
ground that looked good enough to
stake and located it for Miss Corco-
ran and himself Then he began to
work on it, anu the showing was so
promising that he continued the de
velOpment, Miss Corcoran in the
meantime continuing her labor as
cook at the Monitor-Richmond mines
in order to keep Kelly supplied with
powder, tools and grub. When Kelly
sent his woman partner word that he
had struck the lead, the latter did
not go into Mysteries and throw up
her job-she simply took day off,
strapped pair of snowshoes to her
feet and made her way over the
mountains to the claim four miles
away. On her arrival at the mine she
made a thorough inspection of the
lead, took some samples of the ore,
expressed herself as being satisfied
with the prospects and tramped back
to her kitchen at the Monltor-Rich-
mOnd.
Miss COrcoran has done considera-
BILE tramping over the hills and it has
never interfered with her health
her outdoor life has had a tendency
to make her rugged. It is said she
almost as good as man. Her chOs-
en- occupation has, of course, thrown
her into the society of men, but she
is respected by all with whom she
comes in contact. Although getting
well along in years, she has an object
in life and is now happy in the
thought she may be able to soon
achieve it. Back east somewhere
there is another woman younger in
years This woman is a niece OF
Miss CorcOran, and although she is
ambitious she is too poor to acquire
that which her fancy dictates. She
is the only relative Miss Corcoran
has on the face of the globe, and
the ambition of the latter is to HELP
her along in the world.

After Twenty Years FruitIess Pros

STRIKES A REAL bonanza
While Cooking for a Mining Outfit,
the Rusting Woman Staked An
other Prospector and Kept Him

Good-Assay of the Ore is Four
Ounces Of Gold to the Ton.

Montana possesses woman pros
pector but in all likelihood the only
persons who know of it are those
that live in the district in which she
is operating. Her name is Miss
Kate Corcoran, and although the
Miss" might indicate that she is a
young and winsome lass, she is be-
tween so and IS years old. Miss Cor
coran is now located near Saltese, a
new mining district in Missoula coun-
ty, and late reports from there are to
the effect that she has struck it rich
on a group of claims owned by Eu-
gene Kelly and herself. The width
of the vein is not known in Butte.
but the ore gives returns of four
ounces of gold per ton. There is
also some copper in the rock, but not
of sufficient quantity to make it call
for much enthusiasm from those who
prefer this metal to that of the pre-
cious class. The property on which
the strike was made is located about
four miles from the Monitor-Rich-
mond group, which is classed as one
of the greatest pieces of mining prop
erty in the west, and bids fair to en-
enter the list of the large producers.
Miss CorcOran has been prospect
ing little more than 20 years, but
Notwithstanding her long service in
the business this is the first good
luck she has had in the prospector's
field She first took the trail in the
Aspen district of Colorado, and fol
lowed it many years without success
She had hope and a splendid consti
tuition, however, and the longer she
continued the search for the pay
streak, the greater became her fas
cination for the occupation. A few
years ago she decided to try another
section Of the country, and came to
Montana, pitching her tent in the
Saltese district, where she thought
the prospects for striking something
to her liking were good. When she

Kalispell has seen many changes
in the last two years. One of the lat
est is a drug manufacturing depart
ment put in by Marsden, the druggist.
He manufactures a full line of rene
dies which he guarantees to do all
claimed for them, or he will refund
the money as cheerfully as he sells
the goods. Mr.. Marsden has had %
years practical experience in some of
the largest drug stores in the United
States, is registered by examination
in half a dozen different states,
graduate of one of the best colleges
of pharmacy in this country, and has
made life study of preparing rene
dies for all the ills the human sys-
tenn falls heir to. Some Of his most
famous remedies are Montana Cough

These facts certainly indicate a
comparatively high degree of educa-
ton among these cOnvicts and, I'M
less the ground is taken that the
whole country lacks school advan-
tages, there is little, if any, reason
for connecting llliteracy with crime
in Montana. 1t seems only fair, how
ever, to agree with most students of
these questions that higher education
is confined to a very few, and that
the great mass of citizens receive
are, therefore, more open to criminal
influences. 1t has been said that
little learning is a dangerous thing;
94.37 per cent of the entire popula-
ton of the United States is deprived
of all but the rudiments of education.
And in this connection it is suggested
that all the questions of child labor,
shorter hours of employment and
compulsory education play most
important part. Thorough education

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness, jaundice, constitpa-
ton and inactive livers, by arousing
the secretions, moving the bowels
gently yet effectually, and giving
such tone and strength to the glands
OF the stomach, liver and bowels that
the cause of the trouble is removed
entirely. These famous little pills
exert a decided tonic effect upon the
organs involved, and If their use is
continued for few days there will
be no return of the trouble. Bronson

The analysis of the sociological
statistics of the prisoners confined in
the states prison at Deer Lodge re-
veals some surprises which are SEEM
ingly in direct contravention to &C
cepted theories relating to convicts,
according to the latest bulletin from
the bureau of labor and industry.
This is perhaps more true regarding
matters pertaining to the education
OF the inmates at Deer Lodge than of
any other branch of the investigation.
In the current report of the United
States commissioner of education,
volume l, will be found tables giving
the average of years of 200 days each
of education received by each inhabi-
tant of the United States. If all
branches of education be included,
it is shown that this average for the
western division, which is comprised
of Montana Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Ida
uU, washington, OAC6Oh anu SoiiAOA'
mia, is $50 years for each individual.
Taking into account only the school
ing furnished by public elementary
and secondary schools, the average
attendance drops to 5.23 years for
the same district, while the average
for the entire country, regardless OF
district classifications, is only 4.99
years. These averages, however are
not up to those shown by the Deer
Lodge investigation, where the aver
age schooling of all inmates IL
shown to be 81 years.
OF the 800 prisoners whose records
are shown, 81 are serving life sen
fences. The average schooling fol
this number, who may readily be sup
posed to form the most depraved OF
vicious class, is $50 years. There
are seven inmates whose sentences
are equivalent to life, and whose av
erage number of years OF schooling
is 4.S6, and the average of these two
classes is 5.44 years, as against the
general average Of the United States

The ladies, once, great chums, had
fallen out over a man, Or rather two
men. Marguerite accused Jeanne Of
trying to take away her beau. and
Jeanne said Marguerite was too friend
ly with her husband. After a free
fight in a boudoir, 1t was decided that
the mutual insults could be wiped out
with blood only, and a regular duel a
la Boni Castellane was decided upon,
the fight to cease only after one Of the
contestants had shed blood.
Jeanne, Marguerite, four friends and
q female doctor, assembled at in the
morning, and the two ladies stripped to
the waist. Only the region of the heart
was defended by a strip of coat Of
mail
They fought five rounds with excel
lent skill, so the witnesses say, until
Jeanne uttered a piercing cry and drop

to prevent her from doing further dam

she is coming with Senator Fairbanks
and will arrive tomorrow morning, to
be the guest of Mrs. Liggett for two
days. Monday afternoon reception
will be given for Mrs. Fairbanks at
the woman's building at the state fair
from 2 o'clock until 4. All the club
women and Daughters are invited to
come to this reception without fur
ther notice, as the time is too short to
send out invitations. Mrs. Fairbanks
is a gracious, charming woman. whom
it is a delight for Minnesota women to
honor.
The approaching convention of wom-
ems clubs in October. which opens on
the 18th, is conducive to some medita-
tons upon women in convention as
sembled. And these meditations are
mainly apropos because at this conven-
tfon comes the biennial election of new
officers. Women in large bodies are
easily swayed; swayed by sentiment,
ideas of courtesy, and often forget the
main issue in desire to go with the
crowd at the moment. In the matter
of elections in convention, particu-
larly, women are apt to lose their
heads and fall victims to the most
forceful speaker. even if she is advo-
eating something or somebody that in
their hearts they do not approve. The
Minnesota Federation of Women g
Clubs has over and over again suf-
fered from this very indecision while in
convention. If there Is anything which
makes convention appear undignified
and at loose ends, it is this vaeillating
policy about candidates and elections.
