WHY NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO
HELENA?

1
HELENA?
If those merchants and professional
men in the city who appear in the role
Of boosters for the Record, published at
Helena, insist on sending their money
to Helena in preference to spending
it for printers ink at home, why would
it not be a good idea to give Helena
business and professional men the
preference over those institutions who
have so little regard for the welfare
Of other established business concerns
in this city?
The Gazette desires at this time to
call public attention to the Billings
advertisements appearing in last Sun
days Helena publication and we ask
the advertising patrons of the Helena
newspaper from this city whether or
met they would approve if the news
paper publishers of the city and their
employees bought goods in the city OF
Helena instead of buying from estab-
lishments at home? We might also
extend the inquiry a little further and
ask certain business and professional
men of the city if they think it would
be fair to the commercial interests
Of Billings if the friends of the home
newspapersr %patronized Helena bust
ness houses in preference to home
concerns?
Whatever may be the future policy
of certain people of the city, who
allow themselves to be placed under
the hypnotic influences of the piratical
Helena sheet, which has declared war
against the advertising business OF
Billings newspapers, The Gazette
would not go so far as to advocate
retaliation to the extent of withdraw
ing patronage from certain firms and
individuals in the city and patroniz-
ing out-of-town firms instead. But we
do contend that no mark of disloyalty
to the interests of the city is mor
noticeable than that of the firm or
individual who gives encouragement to
the upbuilding of foreign establish
ments to the detriment of those at
home. The firm or individual OF this
city who flaunt their sign to the buy
ing public on the pages of the Helena
Record and then claim that they are
entitled to the same treatment as
those other business men OF the city
who decline to be caught by the de-
ception have a very faint idea of fair
and decent treatment toward their
n%eighbors.
It may be that the policy adopted
and encouraged by certain gentlemen
in the city in the matter of fayoring
the Helena publication to the detri
ment of Billings newspapers is to be
continued, Notwithstanding the pro
tests already made. If this proves
to be the case we wish to say in clos
Ing that the criticisms offered thus
far will be mild in comparison with
those that will be printed in. the fu
ture.
The Gazette will not hoist the flag
of surrender on any point which il
knows is backed by a healthy public
sentiment.

NEGRO STILL AT LARGE.
Will Rencher, Who Shot M. M.
Sexton, Has Not Yet Been
Apprehended,

Sheriff T. E. Batson returned this
morning from Elllsville, where he
had gone to identify a mule stolen
and ridden away from this city a
short while after the attempted Jail
delivery, in which the negro Will
Rencher escaped. 1t was at first
thought that Rencher was the one
who stole the mule, but it now de
velops that the descriptions of Rem
cher and the horse thief do not tally.
Sheriff Batson states that the negro
who stole the mule sold it to an
ElliIville man, and was to come back
in a short time to receive his
money. But the negro became fright
ened and decided to leave both the
mule and the money. He was not
captured, but it is fairly certain that
he is not the one wanted for the at
tempt to murder Sexton. The mule
is the property of r. D. Batson.

corIectin9 Fare. in Canada.

)
 ''There are all kinds ofways for col- lecting fares on the street cars, but one that saw recently in Canada was centainly unique if not particularly up to date,'' says G. M. F. Holt. "I was taking ride on the four mile trolley road running between Sher- brook and Lenodlle, in Canada. The Erst thing that met my eyeon entering the car was the sign, Nothing changed over $2.' I don't see exactly why they were so particular about the matter, as it didn't strike me that the class of passengers makes practice of carrying ten dollar and twenty dollar bills only. But what tickled me the most was the fare taking that occurred soon after. The conductor came down the aisle carrying in his hand a curious-looking arrangement that resemb1ed large, square dark lantern. It had handle attached which the conductor grasped, and when he showed it toward my face and said fare I perceived that it had a glass front and a slit in the tor where you dropped your nickel or ticket, and then could see the same gc down to the bottom. ."-Springfeld

It has been observed that if the tanned dog is taken back to the wild state, he loses his voice.

Following the Byrneg, Friday and

The plot of the piece, in brief, deals with the life of q blind clergynan's talented daughter, who, in order to aid her father in support ing his fanily, is enticed from her quiet village home by mercenary ras- cal whose aim is to predt by her tai- ent, which he bargains fer at one of the swell clubs in the great metrop- oIis.

FACTORY H CLOSED.
Over 275 Hands Laid Off Until Fur
 ther Notice.

4 r
 Meriden, At1g 26-That the trouble existing at Factory H between the rouge buffers and William c. Reid, who refused to join the Polishers' and Buffers union, for which the forty seven buffers quit work last Friday morning. has taken a more serious turn than the men had looked for ward to, was evident Tuesday even ing when Superintendent Gaines in formed the employees of the factory that the shop would shut down and that the power would not be started to-day. How long the factory would be closed MT Gaines through his fore men did not say, and to-day everyone employed in the factory with the ex- ceptfon of those who do not have to use the power will be out of work, which means over 275 people. That the factory will not be started till the present difficulty is settled is quite evident from what reporter learned Tuesday evening in talking with one of the employees of the factory, who said:
 
 sense for the company to try and get along without rouge buffers as what are the people to do who handle the work after the buffers get through with it. The workmen who prepare it for the buffers would have so much work ahead that it would take some time to catch up when the buffers do return"
 The laying-off process at the factory began last Saturday when a number of young women were told that there would not be any work this week, and when the company wanted them it would send for them. A reporter tried to locate Superintendent Gaines to find out if any time had been set for the company to resume business or if they had any reason for closing the factory other than that they could not get along without rouge buffers Owing to the lateneSs of the hour MI Gaines could not be found
 The buffers who went out held their meetings as usual Tuesday morning and afternoon, but there was nothine new to report only that the officers of the Polishers' and Buffers union had notified the international officers and that John B. Flynn of Brooklyn N. r., fourth vice president of the in ternational body had been requested to come to Meriden. It is expected that he will arrive in this city this morning, and take full charge of the trouble and stay here till 1t is settled one way or the other.
