For the first time in many |
years Monroe county has a
grand jury that has taken itself |
and its mission seriously. It'll
has been at work for a week |
and has accomplished results
not thought possible. Fourteen
indictments were returned
against Paris druggists Satur-
day, an average of three each
and the town has been closed
tight ever since. These have
been arraigned, employed at
torneys, and their cases will be
heard next Monday. All plead
not guilty. Madison was work,
ed on Tuesday and other towns
in the county have had their
turn. w. w. Crigler of Florida
plead guilty and paid fine and
costs TO the amount of S97. so.
In Paris only respectable
drinkers of the good citizen
class were summoned aud all of
the indictments were for liq uor
bought within the week. All
Of the attorneys at the local
bar, with one or two exceptions
were summoned and also the
mayor and city council of Paris.
1t is:said the latter were wanted
to explain the city's merchant
tax OF 5000 on druggists with the
view of arranging some plan,
by conference with the county
court, which was also summon
ed, whereby the county might
get its share of the revenue.

Will Speak in East.

New York, April William j
nryan has notified his New York
friends that he will be in the east in
May and that he will deliver a series
of addresses on political subjects in
the states of New York, Connecticut.
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New
Jersey and Maryland, says the Brook

The first of these addresses will
probably be delivered at the Acad.
envy of Music in Brooklyn.
1t seems now likely that his Brook
lyn speech will be the only one Mr..
Bryan will deliver in the state OF New
York, as his time will be limited and
he has many more invitations to
speak than he a possible accept.

was met by a large and enthusiastic
gathering of people not only of this
city and vicinity but many from 9TH
er parts of the state, who had come
here to welcome the president to Mon
tana.
Justice Brantley Of the supreme
court welcomed the president to Mon
tana in a short and happily worded
speech and introduced him to the peo-
pie present.
The president spoke of his former
residence in the west, of when he
was engaged in the stock business in
the Little Missouri country 20 years
ago, and said that he did not now
feel that he was talking to strangers.
His present trip, he said, al like
coming home after a long absence.
He assured. the people that he was
thoroughly in accord with western in
terests and western ideas. He early
recognized the great possibilities of
western agriculture and one Of the
first acts on assuming the Office and
duties of president was to recommend
national aid for irrigation, the build
of reservoirs at source of great water
supplies and the reclamation of the

will take his buffalo there to breed.
He hopes before long to raise enough

A thoroughly sound buffalo is worth,
slaughtered, about $1,000 in eastern

no longer suited to raising buffalo,

OBJECT is TO ESTABLISH PEACE
IN BALKANS.
suSpENOs CONSTITUTION
Alexander Issues Proclamations Re.
firing Senators and s%uspending
Councillors Of State.

Belgrade, Servia, April liking
Alexander today executed a coup
d'etat. He issued two proclamations,
the first decreeing a suspension of the
constitution, adopted April 10, 1901,
repeating organization bill laws pass
ed hereunder, retiring the senators
and councillors OF state, dissolving
the skupshtina and re-enacting the
laws as they existed previous to the
constitution of 1901. The second
proclamation restores this constitu-
ton to it's former validity.
In the first proclamation the king
says the senate and the skupshtina
created under the constitution granted
by him in 1901, passed laws which
proved impracticable. Furthermore
the constitution, by tending to fan
political passions. prejudiced the in
terests of the fatherland and hindered
it's development as a state and nation.
Affairs in the Balkans, the king
adds, are very serious, and Serv1a
needs order, unity and peace. She
should offer a bright example of a
peace-loving state and at the same
time always be ready to defend her
own true interests, should this be-
come necessary for the purpose Of re-
storing the unity, strength and order
of the country.
The king then suspends the con-
stitution of 1901, and declares the
mandates of the senators to be null
and void and the proclamation goes
on to that the councillors
of state are retired and the skupsh.
tina is dissolved.
Several of the laws, including the
press law, the communal law and the
act governing the electoral system
are annulled and replaced by laws
previously existing.

Wisconsin Congressman Says Repub'
Iican Party Is Pledged to Make
Needed Changes.

Washington, Aprll 7.-Representa-
tive Babcock's ire has been aroused
over the speech OF the secretary OIL
war in Boston, OF which mo tariff
tinkering' was the keynote. The Wis
uonsin representative said today:
81 regard the f~itty-elghth congress
as pledged to a revision OF the tariff,
but let it be remembered in this con
nection that the republican party is
standing squarely on it's plank OF pro-
lection to American industries, and
F! that any tariff reform which it would
inaugurate would be with that plank
as a working basis. In other words
there should be revision along certain
lines where no protection is needed"
Mr.. Babcock pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Minneapolis speech
is broader and. more liberal than that

vored modification of schedules, n
docs not regard the Dingley tariff act
as at all sacred.

| cock, must stand by our guns"
While Representative Babcock
would o be interviewed on the
Cuban treaty, it is nevertheless UNI
! derstood that when that instrument
comes up before the house OF repre-
senatives it will open up a tariff fight.
The fight will ome first on the adop-
ton of a rule to put the Cuban treaty
| through with limited debate. Enough
republicans are expected to oppose
any such rule, to defeat it, with the
aid of democratic votes.

PAT MULLINS WINS FOR MAYOR

Results in Other Towns Are of Little

Carry Red Lodge.
Especial to The Gazette.


Butte, April 7.-On the race of the
returns Pat Mullins is elected mayor
of Butte, his plurality being SO votes.
That is not much but enough for the
fIeinze people to claim a complete vic
tory over the three parties which nam
ed Henry Mueller for the office. The
election of Mullins comes in the ma
ture OF a surprise, not only to the
Mueller followers but also to the
Heinzeites who supported Mullins.
Another surprise which was in store
after the result of the election was
announced is the way Professor
Leamey, OF the Butte public schools,
came in under the wire. Leamey
was third in the number OF votes
received, being but 800 behind Null
Inns. He ran as a socialist.
The labor party ticket cut no figure
at the polls, Duggan receiving but $50
votes for mayor. The labor party vote
went to Mullins and Leamey.
The city campaign, which closed
yesterday with the election, was one
of the most bitterly contested munci-
pal fights experienced here in recent
years. Three daily newspapers fought
the candidacy of Pat Mullins but the
popularity of that gentleman in Butte
carried him to victory at the polls.
Helena. April 6.-The democrats
elected six of the eight aldermen vot-
ed for today and the two republicans
who came out victorious stood on an
Edwards platform.
Red Lodge, April 6.-The result of
the annual city election today was a
victory for the newly organized social
list party, which elected two out of the
three aldermen. This is also cOnstru-
ed as a victory for the Bell Telephone
company, as it is understood the So
cialist candidates, if not pledged,
we're at least in favor of granting the
Bell company a local exchange, which
has so far been denied it by the pres
ent council.
Glendive, April 6.-The city cleo
ton today resulted in a complete VIC
tory for the entire republican ticket.
The citizens ticket made a poor show
ing. The election passed off quietly,

mayor, is the only republican elected
on the city ticket here. His majority

CHAPTER VIII.

There was knock for admlttance at
the cottage door, Hugh Lamonte started
uneasily from his chair. Every knock
every approaching footstep, of late, he
imagined to be that Of the Marquis of
Montauban; for a time of restitution was
coming, and it was to cost him dear He
hastily crossed the room, and flung the
door wide open. An angry exclamation
burst from his lips. Rose, seated by the
easement with her sewing, trembled and
turned pale; for the newcomer was Gas
parde.
"Good afternoon, uncle" said the rogue,
frankly.
"How, Gasparde," uttered Hugh, in In
censed astonishment, and without notic-
ing the salutation-' come you hereT'
II have come" answered the man
quietly, assuming an expression of the
deepest seriousness, ito ask your par
don, and that of Mademoiselle Rose, for
my old behavior; and honestly hope you
will forgive me-"
Hugh looked at him, half incredulously,
and with a searching glance he stepped
back a pace, but made no answer. Gas
parde followed up the movement, and
stepped just within the door, so that he
now beheld Rose. Apprehension and an
