WAS HE LYING OR MisouoTep?

Daniel Mcdonald. president of the
American Labor Union, who recently
visited Lewistown. was in Great
Falls on Friday of last week, where
he vas interviewed by a Tribune re.
porter. According to that paper he
made the following statement, which
will prove interesting to those famii-
lar with the facts:
"Mr. Mcdonald stated that there
was no prospect OF the settlement of
the strike unless Tubb acceded to
the demands of the carpenters. that
none but union labor be employed on
the construction OF the building, He
states that Tubb made a trip east, 10
Tennessee. recently bringing back
with him four or five alleged carpen.
tiers whom he paid at the ate of $40
per month, and worked them ten
hours per day. To the employment
OF these men. the union carpenters

lid not consider them competent and
qualified workmen. The carpenters
are supported in their action by all
OF the allied workmen, and the con
structlOn of the school house is at a
%standstill except for al incompetent,

heIdcr, according 10 Mr.. Mcdonald,
who is attempting to lay the stone.
The contract under which Con
tractor Tubb is working calls for the
completion OF the building by January

the rate 1t Is proceeding it will not
be completed within a year. Tubt
appears. however, to have the school
trustees behind him in the matter
and it is said that they nave told hin
that he may have two years In which
to complete the building If he needs
it,"
There is only ole truthful statement
in the above interview and that Is
contained in the very last paragraph
MIR. Tubb did not go TO Tennessee
he did not go after carpenters: he
pays his men the union scale and they
do not work ten hours n day; the
construction of the school house is
not al a standstill but on the other
hand seventeen men. all told. are at
work on the job and not one incom-

Joseph Folk, of st. Louis, was in
Washington the other day and was in.

sibility of election as governor of his
state as a reward for his successful
prosecution of the worst gang OF pc.
litical scalawags and boodlers Mis-.

ever known. Mr.. Folk has experienc.
ed some difficulty by reason Of the

desires that the ex~tradition treaties

tate the return to this country Of per-

the abuses of the extradition laws.

Now the state fair management is
up TO the question as to the best time
for holding the annual exhibition In
order to get good weather. This is
a problem that has confronted the
fair managers in this county and it
does seem strange that with all the
fine weather for which Montana is
noted in the fall of the year ii is diff.
cult to pick a week of good weather.
One thing IL certain. September is
about the most unreliable month in
the year. unless II is March. The
weather is very tickle and not to be
relied upon. The Gallatin county fair
was held the first week in September
this year and il had ideal weather
the following week the fair In Yellow
stone county had TO be postponed OF
account of the cold winds and rains
Fergus county followed on the 18th
18th and 18th and was fortunate In
getting three good days, although tn,
week opened badly. The weather II
October is generally beautiful ant
much more reliable than that of Sep
TENDER and If the state fair manage
ment makes a change ii is liable t.
jump u of a chinook into a biz
zard. The first week in September
ii held 10 year in and year out nigh
furnish the best dates. but farmer,
and ranchmen are pretty busy hay
Ing about that season of the year.

Walter Jackson, the murdered of lit

penalty for his foul deed. His attor.

technicalities, but there was nothing
upon which to base a hope for re,
yersal of the lower court. Jackson
would OF hanged in due time without
doubt. But there were those who
thought he should hang on the date
set by the lower court and they only
missed IL by a few hours. Consider
ing that there was no escape for the
condemned man il IL a matter of re

?. Larger educational privileges
for the boys and girls whose parents
are not able to leave the farm, or to
incur the expense Of sending their
children away to school.
3. BY the use Of wagons, children
are reached who would not otherwise
be able to attend any school of their
isolation.
4. The pupil is not taken away
from the wholesome influence of: the
home during the formative period Of
life, making it possible for each child
to remain under parental care while
attaining an education, good habits,
and strong character, thus solidify-
ing the sympathetic relation between
the home and the school.
s. No improper conduct being al.
lowed on the way to and from school,
the gap between the home and the
school, whereby many demoralizing
influences enter and poison the lives
of boys and girls, is closed, and the
finer qualities of the lady and gentle
man are thus developed early in life.
6. The health of the children is
better, owing to less exposure to cold,
wet, and fatigue, and to sanitary pro-
vision for more physical comfort in
the school room.
Z. It affords the inspiration that
comes from numbers, and creates an
incentive for interest, enthusiasm and
study under the influence of friendly
rivalry and competition.
s. It enlarges the enrolment, i'm
proves the attendance, and removes
hardness and truancy.
8. With schools thoroughly graded
and classified, more time can be given
to recitation work, and a better op.
portunity is afforded for instruction
in music, drawing, and other special
branches.
10. The school year is otter
heightened and the way opened tt

The time allotted this paper pre-
cludes a detailed account Of particular
experiments made, but the great
stream of testimony reports most
gratifying results. Especially has
public attention been directed for
several years to the success of the
Kiugsvillt experiment in Ohio, where
transportation reached the homes. of
all pupils and yet reduced the cost Of
tuition over 80 per cent; to the salts
factory results attained in Madison
township. Lake county, aud in Gus
tavus' township. Trumbull county, the
latter maintaining a four-room school,
and employing nine wagons for trans
p%ortation. In Indiana, g. 600 children
are transported regularly to and from
school in 1S1 wagons. In Iowa, cen
~tralization has been in operation for
five years. In Kansas, the expert
mental consolidated school at Lor-
raine, in Ellsworth county, organized
in 1896, has demonstrated the success
of the plan, and the favorable attitude
Of that state is we'll set forth in an
interesting article on the subject by
her state superintendent, Hon. Frank
Nelson, published in the Review Of
Reviews for December. Nebraska,
also, is alive to the Importance o.
consolidated schools, and the same is
true Of Minnesota and the two Da.
kotas. In North Dakota, State Sup
j: erintendent Devine. throughout hi
administration, has championed tn
idea Of unifcation, and has let no op
portunity pass, whether from the pub
Ilic platform, through the press, or b,

this direction. There are already il
this state several counties that hav
i. one or more consolidated schools
among which may be enumerated
Cass, Trail, LaMoure, Walsh
Dickey, Sargent, Towner, Mcintosh
Nelson, Benson, Rolette, and Ram

Some of the leading advantages dem
onstrated by experience to accom-
