Helena, Feb. 23.-The senate held

GERS, protesting against the passage

Half Block in the Business District
in Ashes.
EMBERs CARRIED FOR BLOCKS
Kentucky Fire Department Comes to
the Assistance Of Local Firemen
and Render Valuable Assistance
The Greatest Fire in the History
of the City.

Cincinnati, Feb. 26-This city was
visited by a fire last night and this
morning that destroyed half a block
il the business district, and caused
loss of more than S2O0O,0OO The
burning embers were carried for
blocks, the suburbs being covered
with them The fire departments
from Covington, Newport and other
Kentucky towns came promptly to
the assistance of the local firemen,
but it was noon before their COM
bined efforts had the fire under con-
troll. By working all the time on the
roofs of the surrounding buildings a
general conflagration was narrowly
averted. 1t was perhaps the greatest
fire the city ever had, and it was
thought that the entire business sec
tion of the city was doomed. Such
would have been the case if there
had been brisk wind.

garding their work and are close
mouthed when approached regarding
their future plans. Enough is learned,
however, to prove that the above is
the program outlined, and the next
step. the arrival of the outfits can be
looked forward to in a short time.
The present stage of the weather
prohibits other than the clearing of
the right of way and rock work being
done, but this can be accomplished in
the winter nearly as we'll as in the
open season. While the right of way
of the Columbia Falls line has not
yet been purchased, the preliminary
survey has been made, and the bal
ance of the work necessary can be
speedily accomplished.
The arrival of so many contractors
was the occasion for rumors of all
kinds being set afloat, and the air
was filled with railroad talk. There
is general air of relief felt that the
suspense of the past year is at last
to be broken, and while many are dis
appointed that the road south is not
to be constructed first, the business
men in general hope that the influx
of labores will aid in removing the
business stagnation of the past few
months. On the Columbia Falls road
alone nearly a thousand men will be
employed, and this city will be the
chief Quitting point for all the camp
and crews. The south road will be
TIE same. and it can be safely prophe-
sled that the coming year will be the
best in the history of the city.

Unseating James J. Butler and Seat

Caucus Decided to Prosecute a Sys-
tematic Course Of Obstruction to
All Legislation

Washington, Feb. 26.-Amid scenes
which recalled the exciting days of
the liity-Hlst congress, when party
feeling ran fierce and the hail of the
house OF representatives resounded
with denunciations of high handed
methods of the majority, James j.
Butler of Missouri was unseated to-
day by the house and C. r. Wagner
was seated in his place. The demo
Gratis had decided at their caucus
this morning that II this case was
called up they would prosecute a fill
buster from now until March 1 re-
@aldless Oh consequences, upon legis-
lation, and they began the fight as
soon as the gayel fell at noon Roll
call followed roll call and it took
more than three hours to approve the
journal of yesterdays proceedings.

Beasts Of the Murder Of Many Wives
and Helpless Girls.
That Punishment Would Be Too
Easy for a Man Whose Blood Curd-
ling Confessions Stamp Him With
the Mark Of the Beast-Victims
Over All Ohio.

Hamilton, Ohio, Feb. -6.-Alfred
Knapp, the indianapolis man arrest
ed yesterday, and who confessed to
the murder of his third wife, today
made full confession of five muir
ders. knapp's confession, which was
sworn to before Mayor Bosch and
signed by the accused, is as follows:
"On January q, 1894, | killed En-
ma Littleman in lumber yard, in
Gest street, Cincinnati. On August
|, 1894, killed May Eckert, in Wal
nut street Cincinnati. August Z,
1894, | killed my wife, Jennie Con
ners Knapp, under the canal bridge
in Liberty street, Cincinnati, and
threw her into the canal. In Indian
apolis, in July, 1895, | killed Ida Glib
hart. On December %, 1902, | killed
my wife, Anna Knapp, in Hamilton
and threw her into the river out by
Linden. This is the truth. | make
this statement of my own free will
and not by the request of any officer
or any one else"
After his confession, Knapp admit
ted that he had repeatedly assaulted
women, and killed some OF them He
said he met the Llttleman child in
lumber yard and choked her to death
when she made an outcry.

the bridge and choked her to death.
After she was dead l threw the body

you what made me kill these people,
l could not help it. Simply desire

with me- After. the confession a
formal charge of murder was filed.
Knapp talks much of Pearl Bryan
and is afraid of being lynched, de-
spite the assurance of no danger of
lynching. He is frightened and does
not want to be taken from the county
Jail. Knapp is now supposed to have
strangled three women at Evansville
and killing women elsewhere. He
was in a Cincinnati house of refuge
when II years old, and other crimi-
nal records are being discovered al
most hourly.

The Lower House Disgraced by Its Support
Of Licensed Gambling Law.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS UNH0RSED
By the Rank and File Who Vote With the Labor Party Men
and Democrats for This Pernicious BiIl--Some Hope
in the Senate and an Abiding Trust in Gov. Tooe

Helena, Feb. 26.-Three matters Of
prime importance were up for dis
cIssion before the house committee
Of the whole this afternoon. One was
the gambling bill, another was the
bill restricting to once the number
of times candidates name can ap-
pear on ballot, AMI the third was
the sheriffs graft. The bill to license
gambling was considered until near
7 O'Clock this evening. At the con
clusion Of that time the house by an
overwhelming majority decided to
make Montana licensed gambling
state once more. This was in oppo-
sition to the views of the republican
leaders Of the house. but they were
unable to control the rank and file
OF the party in the house. Tonight
the republicans voted with the labor
party men and most of the democrats
in favor Of licensing gambling. The

Contractors Arriving in kaIispeiI
to Begin Columbia Falls Branch.
THIS CITY THE HEADQUARTERS
And Quitting Point for Both Branch
Roads Which Are to Be Built Dur
ing the Year-One Thousand Men
Wanted For Construction Work.
Good Times Ahead.

Within the next two weeks the
construction work on the Columbia
Falls and Jennings cutoff will be
commenced, and if conditions are fav-
orable and enough men can be Sc
cured, the work on the Jocko cutoff
will be under way shortly afterward.
A number of contractors from Spo-
kane, Great Falls and ST. Paul ar
rived in Kalispell this week and are
now looking over the proposed routes
of both roads. 1t is a certainty that
the road from the Falls will be COM
menced first, as the contract for the
grading has been let, Sims & Shields
Of st. Paul being the successful ones.
They in turn will sublet portions of
the work to various contractors, and
it is for the purpose of getting their
part of the work that so many of the
contractors are mobilizing in this
city.
The crying need of the railroad
company is coal, and to get this use
full commodity and to get il with the
least delay and expense, is the rea-
son the Columbia Falls cutoff will be
built first. Under the existing cir
cumstances, the coal used on the
east side of the range has to be
hauled from the Crows Nest mines
over two mountain ranges; when the
cutoff is completed, one range, that
of the Rockies, is all that will have
to be crossed. This is a big item to
the railroad company, and now that
the Shelby cutoff is completed, they
are in a position to take advantage
of the number of idle men and push
the work to completion. The head
quarters of the construction corps
will be in this city, as some of the
contractors here have made arrange
ments for the necessary lumber to
construct their Offices, sneds, etc..
and are also buying hay, oats, etc.,
and otherwise making preparations
for long stay. The Jocko cut off is
secondary in the minds of the rail-
read officials to the one mentioned;
but that by no means means that it
will not be built; On the contrary, it
is to be built this coming summer,
and if enough men can be secured to
work on both cutoffs it will be COM
pleted by the time the Columbia Falls
line is; but if not, work will not be
commenced until the latter is fin
ished.
There are about dozen contrac-
tors in Kalispell now, and more are
expected this evening. As usual, they
refuse to give out any information re-

An Entire Family in Toledo, Ohio, For
the Purpose Of Robbery.
EVEN Th<>9ABES WERE NOT SPARED
Wicked Bandits Apply Burning Torches the Head and
Feet Of Their Victims in Order to Compel

Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 26-Ten masked
robbers went to the home of Chris
tian Jochlin, two miles out of the
city limits, late last night and bat
tered down the door. Eight men en-
tered, leaving two men outside on
guard. In the house were Mr.. and
Mrs. Jochlin, John Anderson, a g.
yearold boy and an lS-months-old
baby girl. All, including the boy and
baby, were dubbed into insensibili-

Jochlins recovered consciousness the
robbers demanded $4,000 which they
said they knew was secreted in the
house. When told that no such sum
was there, the bandits applied burn

their victims, blistering even the in
