1t is not the mere pleasure that
comes from having won that causes
the republicans OF the state to feel
so jubilant over the outcome of the
election contest in Rosebud county.
The real cause of their exuberance
of spirit m from the knowledge
that democratic methods are not to
prevail there and that the people
of the county are to be permitted to

their choice without interference from
the men who dictate democratic poll
tics in the larger cities of the state.
BY the decision of the court notice
is given to the FOUNDERS and political
pirates of the west side that no matter
what they may do at home, they will
not be permitted to corrupt the poll
tics of other communities and nullify
the wishes of their people by the in

abled them to control affairs in their
own towns. Colonization and intimi-

Marvellous Escape from
Death !
PAINE's CELERY
COMPOUND
Does a Wondrous Work for a Lady
Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.

1t is well known that terrible rheumatism,
~sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of
the other diseases that a(lict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of. Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years Of agonizing %tortures had a desire to end
her life, if it was the will Of Heaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven -directed, she made use of Palne's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says:-
"For thirty years | have been a great suf-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. began
taking Painc's Celery Compound and soon

OF the state should have nc voice
in the settlement of questions of the
kind ca which this article treats.
Time was in Montana when a few
men could get together and order the
whole membership or the party in
the state to take snuff and this was
done without the sign of a protest.
But these people who took that kind
of dope whenever it was prescrib-
ed by selfAconstituted leaders are
growing somewhat wiser as the years
of experience roll along. They have
about arrived at the conclusion that
the republican party was not planted
upon Montana soil to be used as a
vehicle for serving the purposes OF
a select few. They will no longer
stand the ~browbeating and threaten
ing methods which have prevailed in
the state for years past and unless
there is a radical change in the de-
meanor of those who have run the
entire works there will be something
doing in republican circles in the
| state next wear. which will make some
people conjecture as to the depth OF
political oblivion to which they have
been consigned. U..
That The Gazette has mentioned
several republicans by name who
would be worthy of any Office within
the gift of the party in the state does
not necessarily follow that it is so
blinded that it sees no redeeming
trait in others who are in the sad
die and would like to continue their
grip on party affairs. 1t is at the
mere thought that these latter have
sought to delegate unto themselves
the sole right to dictate the entire
policy of the party that rouses the
rank and file to step close to the
brink of an open party revolution.

Justice Brewer promulgated no new
law, neither did he elucidate an old
one. Every person knows that a
mar who as a member of a mob un-
lawfully takes the life OF another is
as much of a murderer as though he
committed the deed individually and
alone. And he is amenable to the
law and courts to the same degree.
The trouble is that communities that
tolerate lynchings, whether of blacks
or whites, are usually composed of
people i'll whom the respect for the
law and courts is so small that they
are not likely to assist either or Doth
in bringing to justice and punishment
the lynchers and burners. It is to be
hoped that the eminent jurist was
right when he said there would be
a reaction against the atrocious and
horrible crimes that are now commit
ting almost all over the land by
gangs of frenzied and lawless men,

MURDER AT
"Sixshooter Bob" Sustains His Repu-
tation as Bad Man. w

Glasgow, Mont, July 16.-At 4:30
p. m. today Bob Walsh, better known
as "Sixshooter Bob" shot and instant
ly killed Joseph Traux at H%insdale.
Walsh and Traux had been q%uarreling
over horses when Walsh challenged
Traux to fight. Walsh knocked Traux
down and then drew his gun and shot
him through the neck, killing him
instantly. Both men are single and
both have ranches a Hinsdale.
Sheriff Cosner went to Hinsdale to-
night to take charge of Walsh, who
gave himself up Immediately after the
shooting. The remains of Traux are

MINER KILLED.
Mat Warila Buried Under Mass of
Falling Slate.

BY a fall of slate, Mat Warila, a
miner employed in the Red Lodge
coal mines, was killed instantly last
Wednesday forenoon.
He had finished his work for the
day and with several companions was
sitting on a bench under the face of
the wall. The men were waiting for
shooting time, after which they in
tended to leave the mine. Without
warning a ass of slate and rock fell
from the ceiling and buried Warila.
When released from the debris and
taken to the hospital he was already
dead. His neck was found to be bro
ken, as also his left left leg and sew
eral ribs.
Warila left a wife and two children,
one of the latter an infant only a
few months old. He was n of the
best known and most popular of the
men employed in the camp.

III "cow

Once more the COW counties are
giving evidence of the providence and
prosperity Of their people by an ex-
hibition of increased and increasing
wealth that causes them to move to
a higher rank in the classification
OF counties of the state. Notwith-
standing that they have no mines
or immense establishments given over
to the reduction of ores and conse-
quently are looked upon by some OF
their neighbors as inferior to them
selves, the Cow counties have a
surprising way of adding to the total
wealth of the state, and that, too,
without any fuss or parade. Yellow
stone is one of the counties whose
names are linked with lowing kline
and bleating sheep and therefore sup
posedly a fit subject for pity, yet in
spite of this drawback it is now en-
titled to rank as a county of the
fourth class. with every prospect of
assuming a higher rating next year.
Custer is another one OF the unfor-
Inmates, but it is not asking for sym
pathy. Although deprived of a large
portion of it's area and wealth by an
act of the legislature, it is. rapidly
recouping and this year is entitled
to go back to fifth class, emerging
from the sixth class, into which it
was forced by the segregation that
resulted in the establishment of Rose
bud county.
1t is this that affords explanation
republican party by the counties o.
the eastern part of the state. So long
as Canada is prevented from compel
ing with them in the sale of pro
ducts of their ranges, SO long will
the "cow counties continue to pros
per and flourish as they now do.

NEARING THE BREAKERS.

If one is to judge by the handWrlt-
ING on the wall, machine made state
and county republican conventions,
made by machine politicians and Of
fee holders will not be in order in
Montana next year. The bone and
sinew of the party, the men who
achieve victory at the polls, have
grown sick at the manner republican
conventions have been conducted dur
ing the past few years in the state,
and the indications are that in many
counties next year republicans out
side oil the machine will assert their
rights as we'll as their manhood and
make their influence felt in conven-
tions independent of the oflce-hold-
inc and ohice-seeking contingent of
the party.
Time was in Montana when the par
ay's affairs we're conducted by a ma
iority Of the members of the party,
but this has not been the case in re-
cent years. Nowadays 80 per cent
of the republicans of the state are
handled as so many sheep driven into
a corral, and there is a widespread
disposition among the voters of the
party throughout the state, n are
free and independent of the machine
and the office holders, to organize
themselves into an opposition body
and contest the right of a few men
scattered throughout the state to set
themselves up as the sole owners and
dictators of everything pertaining to
the party in this commonwealth.
There are already distant rumblings
in a certain republican atmosphere
of the state that such honorable mem
bers of the party as Mr.. Mantle of
Butte, Mr.. Goddard of Billings, Mr..
Lindsay of Glendiye, Mr.. Power of
Helena and several others of that
class of high citizenship shall not be
accorded too much publicity in the

their favor is created among a large
majority OF the republican voters of

to such honorable gentlemen whom
we have mentioned and others who
could be brought out by name as &C.
ceptable to thousands OF republicans
to fill any Office within the gift of
the party in the state, comes mainly
from those who up to this time have
been the sole beneiciaries of every.
thing in sight and which by right
should have been fairly distributed

bers of the party in various parts
of the state regardless of geographi.
cal lines.
The Gazette as a party newspaper
has always kept in quite close touch
with all the prominent republicans
throughout the state whenever it has
been possible to do SO, regardless Of
the several factions. This has otter
been a hard task for some of the party
press in the more sparsely settled
portions of the state, for the reason
that some OF the leading republicans
Of the state appear to labor under
the delusion that the masses of the

ROOSEVELT SEES NECESSITY FOR
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
he DESIRES EARLY ACTION
Expresses Hope That Congress Will
Take Up Question at spe-
ciai Session.

dent Roosevelt is deeply interested in
student OF affairs he has noted for a
long time the necessity of financial
legislation OF a remedial character,
and today he expressed to Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts his desire
that early action upon the subject
should be taken by congress along
the lines of his recent messages and
speeches. Indeed, it can be said that
he hopes action will be initiated at
the extra session of congress, which
he will call on Monday, November 8.
Senator Lodge arrived here this
morning and passed the day at Saga
more Hill. He is a member Of the
Alaskan boundary commission, which
is to begin it's sessions in London
early in September. Before sailing
for England tomorrow on the steamer
Cedric, he came to Oyster Bay to con
slider with the president, among other
things, the work of the commission.
He left this evening for New York.
Before his departure Senator Lodge
gave to the Associated rress a state
ment concerning his conference with
the president. In this statement the
presidents hopes regarding the fnan-
cial legislation are reflected.
1--WE discussed" said Senator Lodge,
"a variety OF topics, including the
work of the Alaskan boundary COM
mission, which is TO begin in London
early in September"
YES" the senator continued, in re-
Spouse to an inquiry whether he had
discussed with President Roosevelt
the proposed extra session of con-
gress, 1--WE considered it at some
length. IT,
you know, of course, that an extra
session is to be called to meet on
Monday, November 9, Immediately fol
lowing the fall elections. This ses-
sion will be called primarily for the
purpose of ~enacting legislation ap.
proving the Cuban treaty, which was
ratified by the senate last spring. The
president hopes, however, as I do,
that we shall be able to take up for
early consideration financial legisla,
ton along the lines of his message
and his speeches. This legislation
takes the deepest inquiry"
did you discuss with the president
any specific financial measure?"
mo, not at all. No specific bill was
under consideration. The preparation
OF a measure of that kind is the work
Of congress itself. 1t was understood
when the senate adjourned last spring
that the committee on finance would
prepare a remedial financial measure
during the recess. The committee
now is engaged on that work. / as
sumo that the house committee or
banking and currency will also talk
up the subject, but / am not informed
whether it is the intention of thai
committee to begin the consideration
Of the subject before the extra session
shall convene.
A noted, the president is deeply
interested in this proposed Legislation
and it is his hope and desire that earl
action may be taken by congress t,
remedy existing financial conditions.

RO0sEyELT,s CHICAGO SPEECH.

President Roosevelt's address yes
lcrday evening at Chicago, the first
formal speech of his intinerary, was a
Seaff1rInation of his understanding of
The Monroe doctrine as expressed in his
message of December 1901. In that
message he said: THE Monroe doe

more prolixity of explanation he said
the same thing over at Chicago and
added g plea for the armed strength
to support the principle in the face of
the world.
The speech was typically Roose-

Tor American. Speak softly and carry
big stick; you will go far" said the
president. The quoted adage contains
the nub of his argument There was
no suggestion of aggression in the adj
dress; nor "a whisper of compromise.
His definition of the Monroe doctrine
was decisively clean cut His auditors

between Germany and America on this
question resulted in definite state
