COAL COMPANIES ENDOWED.

Am Order Against Indiana Operators Issued In Chicago.
 | CHICAGO, March 25.--Ten Indiana coal companies and ten individual op- orators have been restrained by Judge Kohlsaat in the United States circuit court from continuing their alleged combination for the regulation of coal prices and output. The defendants are given until April 6 to show cause why
 the order should not be made perma- nent. The corporations and individuals en- joined are the same recently tried in the state court on the charge of raising the prices of coal and restricting the output in Illinois, thus causing the coal famine in Chicago last winter.
 The injunction granted will stand un- til further order of court. It recites that the action of the court is taken upon the application of United States District Attorney $. H. Bethea and up- on the affidavits of Assistant State At torney Albert O. Harnes and orders that the defendants are especially re- strained and enjoined from in any manner complying with or executing the terms of certain contract made and entered into between you during the month of March, 1902, which by its terms went into effect April 1, 1902, or any similar contract" They are re- strained from entering into any combi- nation among themselves to ship the bituminous coal mined and to be mined on their property in Indiana to the Crescent Coal and Mining company at Chicago for uniform sale by that con- Ispany to consumers in carload lots on their several accounts at prices arbitra- rily fixed by them or their representa- tives in such manner as to destroy competition between themselves as to the sale of such coal as is or may be the subject of commerce among the several states and in violation of the Sherman act.
 No opposition was offered in court to the entering of the order.

Whipping Post In Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O., March 25.-7The whipping post was resorted to at the smallpox hospital here to maintain dis cipline. Hugh Murphy, a negro, suf- fering from mild case of smallpox, attacked and badly wounded T. V. Flowers, another patient, with a fork. Dr. Reibel, superintendent of the hos pital, decreed that Murphy should re- ceive twenty-five lashes on his bare back, and the punishment was inflicted by the superintendent himself after the offender had been tied to post by the attendants.

RIGGING THE SHAMROCK.

New Yacht Has as Much Freeboard
 and Less Draught than Shamrock I.
 Gourock, March. 25.-The rigging for Shamrock III, and the stays and wire gearing are practically completed. The crew are engaged in scraping and painting the spars. The sails are all ready here and will be fitted on as soon as the rigging is in place.
 Shamrock III will show as much freeboard as. Shamrock I, with distinct ly less draught forward.
 It is expected here that Shamrock III will be lowed to Rothesay bay on Thursday and that she will have her first spin on Saturday. It is believed that Designer Fife has still something up his sleeve in regrad to the chal- lenger.

 Al Smith, who holds $5,OOO of Bob Fitzsimmons's money to bind a match with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, re- ceived yesterday $1,0OO from O'Brien as evidence of good faith that he means to fight the Cornishman at 1858 pounds for the middleweight championship of the world. It is expected that the men or their representatives will meet shortly to discuss the details of an en- counter. The proposed match between Jack Munroe and Tom Sharkey is to be held after all, according to Clark Ball, the Anaconda miners manager. The hub- bub caused by the announcement that the Broadway A. c. of Butte, Mont, had withdrawn it's offer of a $1O,OOO purse has subsided, as Ball said yes- terday that the club had changed its mind again and that the original offer would stand. He declared that the club will donate $10,000 for the scrap, post the required forfeit of $5,000 and hold the mill according to agreement some 1 time in July, possibly the 4th. The CluD luEIueE SdyS ludL tuS lOllClI luOl1- ey or certified check will be here on or before April 10, and that the boxers need not be afraid that the club will not adhere to all that it says it will do.
 The news was very gratifying to l Sharkey, who thought all along that there would not be any battle. Shar- key is now going to train. Munroe will train in Butte. He does this at l the request of his townsmen and the club

 cisco yesterday stated that the Yosem. ite club has already filed petition with
 the supervisors of the city for permit for the fight between Jeffries and Cor.
 bett and has announced that it will give a purse of $20,000 for the scrap
 The officers of the club are certain that
 the permit will be granted, but friends
 of the boxers are not so sure that the
 club will get the mill unless the purse
 is increased. The articles signed by l both Jeffries and Corbett state explic, itiy that clubs bidding for the encounter
 must give 5000 and no less in order
 to be in line for the fight. There is nc clause in the articles of that per.
 centage of the gate receipts would not
 be preferable. It is said that several shrewd promoters of San Francisco dc
 not think that the fight will be much ot
 a drawing card. But both are Cali
 fornians and are clever and will meet
 for the heavyweight title. Tn the ouin l ion of excellent judges the fight should draw very we'll because the battle will
 show whether Jeffries has gone back
 or not. In spite of his long campaign
 in the ring Corbett is still scientific
 and Jeffries will have to hustle to out point him.

The TRUSTS.

Senator Hoar the venerable states
man from Massachusetts, has intro
duced bill in congress which is de-
signed to curb the trusts, but under
present conditions his efforts would
seem to be a waste of energy, for no
effort is made to enforce the anti
trust laws that are now on the stat
ute books. The Sherman law, en-
acted ten years ago, is said to be as
comprehensive and sweeping in it's
provisions as a law can we'll be made
under our constitution, but nOtwith-
standing that law the trusts thrive
and wax fat. President Roosevelt is
White house, but his talk about curb
ing the trusts seems to be just SO
much hot air While his attorney
general has started one or two suits
against some of the illegal combines,
the suits are not being pushed with
sufficient vigor to accomplish any
thing and Mr.. J. J. Hill of the Great
Northern says that the presidents
remedy for the trusts is satisfactory
to the trusts.
Combinations of capital and of
business enterprises are the natural
results of competition and the re-
sulting efforts to economic in the
administration of business affairs.
The majority of the people do not
desire to have the trusts wiped out,
but rather to have them SO controlled
as to prevent eXtortion and unfair
discrimination, where competition no
longer exists. If Mr.. Roosevelt does
not enforce the laws to accomplish
this end the people will see to It
that a man is put in the White house
who will at least make an honest
effort to bring about the desired re-

START RIGHT.

In MiSsonla county the reelected
county attorney has addressed a let
ter to the new sheriff concerning his
duties in the line of abating misde-
meanors, especially gambling, the
full text of which should be i'm
pressed upon Flathead county Off
Gals. The letter in question was
written by Charles III. Hall, Esq, of
Missoula, and addressed to the new
sheriff, Harry w. Thompson
Il beg leave to call your attention
to page 1876 OF the session laws of
the seventh Legislative assembly of
the state of Montana, entitled An
act to prohibit gambling within the
state of Montana. Your attention is
called to sections /. and 3 in par
ticular, as we'll as to the rest CT the
act and | desire at this time to in
struct you that it is your duty as
sheriff of this county to enforce the
law with respect to gambling in all
parts Of the county and to see that
no gambling is carried on of any
kind whatsoever, and to arrest any
parties engaged in any manner in
conducting gambling games or games
of chance and to notify me of your
act as soon as you have made the
arrest. | desire to further call your
attention to that part of the law
above referred to which refers tC
nickel in the slot machines, peepo
scopes. etc, and ito say to you that
it is your duty to strictly enforce
the law with regard to these ma
chimes, whether they be gambling
devices or what is commonly called
cigar machines or candy machines
or any other kind of nickel in the
slot machine run as a game o
chance, whether the premiums pait
by it are cash or commodities.
II trust that as the new sheriff o
Missoula county you will enforce thi
law strictly against all person
whomsoever, and will say to yo'
now that you will have my earnes
cooperation to enforce the gambling
law in Missoula county and to kee
gambling of all kinds entirely with
out the confines of this county.

justly PUNISHED.

Bribers receive different treatment
in Minnesota and Missouri than is ac-
corded them in Montana, nor does
wealth or social position save them
from the penitentiary in either of
those states In Minnesota, ex-Chief
of Police Ames of Minneapolis,
brother of the mayor of that city, is
now serving time in the penitentiary
for corruption in office, while the
mayor himself was obliged to fee to
escape Imprisonment. In the state
of Missouri five members of the city
council of ST. Louis have been SEN
fenced to the penitentiary, while
many others are under indictment,
and still others have skipped the
country to avoid arrest. Some of the
men convicted were prominent in
business and financial circles, but
such standing did not save them
from the wrath of an outraged pub
lie.
Such treatment is in refreshing
contrast to the manner in which
wealthy bribers are treated in this
state. where, if man has wealth
enough. any crime he may commit
is hailed as virtue.
Prominent examples are too numer-
Gus to require any mention, but the
latest is that of C. w. Clark of Butte
who was caught in the act of buying
votes at the last election and was
allowed to leave the state without
even being arrested. Had Mr.. Clark
been laboring man in overalls in
stead of a millionaire in broadcloth,
he would have been arrested on the
spot. But arrest millionaire in
Montana for bribery? Perish the
thought.
The cleansing of the "Augean sta
bles" of ST. Louis and Minneapolis,
however. is an encouraging sign, and
the day may yet come when some
thing of the sort may take place in
Montana.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

While Governor Tooe's message,
read to the legislative assembly on
the converting of that body on Mon
day, is lengthy epistle, it is a docu-
ment we'll worthy of perusal. Besides
it's literary excellence, IL possesses
much to interest the taxpayers of the
state, and the handling of the differ
ent subjects is that of the conscien-
tlous and fearless statesman. While
the message might have been short
ened somewhat without impairment,
as whole it is most able and
timely summing UP of the states af-
fairs, and all of the recommends
tons made are worthy of serious
consideration on the part of the law
makers. The most important matter
treated is the subject of a state rail
road commission, and the recon-
mendation for the creation of such a
commission will meet with the hearty
approval of the people of the state,
and in spite of the opposition of the
corporation press of the state it is
bound to come. The recommends
ton for the reduction of salaries of
public officials is good one al
though the governor failed to note
that the governors salary would be
a good place to begin such reduc-
tons.
The proposals to make more of the
state officers elective and to substi-
tute direct primaries for nominating
conventions will also meet with gen.
eral approval,
The governor mentions the in
crease of railroad assessments from
fifteen million to thirty-two million
dollars as gratifying increase and
says the board of equalization had
assessed the roads at a much higher
figure, but reduced the same in view
of the low assessment of other prop
erty in the state. The reasons given
by the governor for the reduction in
railroad assessments are not borne
out by the facts, for no one will con-
tend that property in general in the
state is assessed at less than so per
cent of its value, while the railroads
are now assessed at about 20 per
cent of their real value. Taken as a
whole, however. the message is a
good one. and the lawmakers will
be wise to follow it's recommends
tons

UNFAIR TO THE FARMERS.

The proposal of the post Office de-
partment to increase fourfold the
present rate of postage on periodical
literature will not be received with
favor by the general public. The
burden would fall most heavily upon
the agricultural and literary publica-
tons that at present contribute so
much to the farmers home life, and
while the burden would ostensibly
would really be borne by the reading
public, for any increase of cost to
the publisher would be added to the
price of the periodical. The pro-
posed increase would bear less heav-
ily upon those living in the cities,
papers and other forms of current
literature and opportunities for in
stuction and amusement not availa-
BILE to those living in the country.
The proposed change would not af-
feet the regular newspapers, and
would perhaps give them quite an ad-
vantage. but it is an unfair advan-
tage that would bear unjustly upon
the rural population and for which
the newspapers DO not ask. If the
post office department desires to
avoid the present shortage between
receipts and disbursements, let it
reduce the eXtravagant payments
made to the railroad monopolies for
carrying the mails. With the great
increase in the volume of business
the cost of transporting passengers
and freight has been reduced until
it is now but fraction of what ii
once was; but for carrying the mails
the government is still paying prices
that are out of all proportion to the
service rendered and to the prices
charged by the roads for transport
ing other articles.
The life of the farmer is isolated
and hard at best. and anything thai
adds to his culture. contentment OF
happiness should not be taxed foi
the benefit of the railroad corpora
tons nor for any other purpose
