THE WRONG SIDE.

The old reliable Anaconda Stand
ard enjoys we'll merited reputation
as a stickler for accuracy. historical
and otherwise. and in an able edito-
rial in a recent issue the real facts
as to the origin of the great Chicago
fire are given.
According to the researches made
by the editor of the Standard the
great fire was not occasioned, as pop
ularly believed, through an attempt
of one of the Chamberlain family to
milk Mrs. OLeary's COW for the pur-
pose of securing milk with which to
make punch in which to drink the
health of a new born son. but the
catastrophe was brought about
through an entirely different chain
of circumstances and the facts are
given by the Standard as follows:
Mrs. Mary Callahan and a party
of young people had gathered on that
Sunday evening at the home of Pat
Mclaughlin, which stood on the
same lot where Mrs. O'Leary lived
in a cottage at the rear. About S
O'Clock Mrs. Mclaughlin got tea for
the party, and then it was discovered
there was no milk. Denny Connors
just from Ireland, proposed that Mrs
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-10-02

OIeary's COW be MIXED. Mrs. o.
Leary and her family had retired.
So the party quietly went to the shed
back of the cottage.
Denny Connors and the present
Mrs. Callahan went to the shed where
the COW was stabbed. Mrs. Callahan
carried the lamp. which was set on
a milking stool. Connors knelt down
on the left side of the COW and awk-
wardly began to milk her. Whether
the COW kicked over the lamp or Con-
nors fell over it. Mrs. Callahan can
not tell. At any rate, it was knocked
over and started the fire. Denny
Connors, thoroughly frightened, left
Chicago and soon afterward return
ed to Ireland. where he died three
years ago. Some of the others in
the secret also left the city hurried
ly"
AS an exemplar of historical accu-
racy through original investigation
and research the Standard is in
class by itself. But when it comes
to Analysing the moving cause which
actuates a COW when she kicks the
milk pail or the mixer over, the edi-
tor of the Standard falls down even
worse than did Denny Connors when
Mrs. OLearys COW made her famous
kick. In explanation of the cows
part in the affair and in justification
Of her kick the Standard has the fol-
lowing:
This version places Mrs. OLeary's
COW in more favorable light. She
did not kick out from pure vicious
ness, or even in a spirit of protest
at being disturbed at what was an
unseemly hour for milking, but be-
cause she was being MIXED by an
awkward and inexperienced hand.
After thrty-two years Of obloquy the
COW has been vindicated.'
Now, any farmers yokel could in
form the editor of the Standard that
Mrs. O'Leary's COW kicked, not be-
cause Denny Connors was an ''awk-
ward and inexperienced hand" but
because he was trying to milk from
the left side.

Treasury Clerkship. !
Early In the sixties of the last CEN
fury, when Hugh McCullOch had just
been appointed comptroller of the cur

under the provisions of the national
bank act, there walked into his office,
unannOunced, one day Il stranger

long hair.
"My name is BurrOughs-JOhn Bur
rOughs," said the visitor. II should like
to have position in your department"
"What do you know about banking?"
asked the comptroller, thinking that
perhaps in the unique stranger might
be discovered some genius of an ac-
tuary or accountant.
"Unhappily nothing" replied the APP
plicant.
"Who sent you here?"
"NO one"
"Well, who's your congressman? To
Eom can you refer me!'
II know no congressman"
"And you expected to get a govcrs-

With bountiful crops safely harvest

causes of financial depression are en-
tirely lacking. That there is good and
sufficient reason for the fall IN the

tain, but those who know the reason
are not telling because to advertise
the reason would only aggravate the
trouble.

just closed railroad stocks are still

1t is more than probable that the

many of them have been paying divi-
dends on the watered stock the strain
is too great to be sustained indefinite

LACEY WINS
A VICTORY
HE coMPELs DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
LEADER TO WITHDRAW
STATEMENT.
LBY H. j. MAHIN.1

Washington, DC, Nov. 24.-Through
the watchfulness OF Major Lacey all
the force was taken out of strong at
tack on republican principals that Rep
resentative Williams, the new minor
ity leader of the house was making in
his final argument against Cuban reci-
procity bill.
Mr.. Williams was arguing ON that
much mooted question regarding the
responsibility for the panic of 1898.
He was of course talking on the sub
ject of tariff revision and attempting
to show that the hard times 1898 We're
due to the acts of the republican party
rather than to the paralysis brought
upon business by the fear of what the
democrats might do with the tariff. In
an attempt to prove his point he re-
ferred to a letter which had been writ
ten by Secretary of the Treasury Fos-
ter to the house committee on appro-
priations urging it to appropriate a
sum of money for the purpose of hav-
ing made certain plates to be used in
printing bonds to be issued by the
government.
"This letter" Numbered Mr.. Will
liams, twas written by the republican
secretary of the treasurey in February,
1892, over year before the democrats
came into power and in fact over six
months before Cleveland was even
elected. 1t proves conclusively that
the hard times of 1893 developed dur.
ing republican rule and not at the be.
ginning of democratic regime"
Mr.. Williams elaborated on this
point. 1t was good one and he gave
the republican side several body blows
but while he was at this pleasant occu-
patton Major Lacey suddenly left his
seat and walked over toward Mr.. Will
liams. When he reached him he quiet
ly picked up book from Mr.. Will
liams' desk from which the latter had
read the Foster letter and given its
date. Major Lacey was pretty sure of
HE point but he wanted to make sure
that there was not typographical er-
ror In Mr.. Williams book. After he
had examined the volume a moment he
went back to his desk and reaching it
lust as Mr.. Williams was concluding
his grand finale Major Lacey turned
and quietly asked Mr.. Williams for
permission to ask him a question.
Dates Were Mixed.

THE PERPETUAL
WAR

There is always a fight
going on in every human
body between health and dis
ease. On one side are poor
food, bad air, over-work,
worry, colds, accidents. On
the other are sunshine, rest,
checrfulness and nourish-
ment.
The reason SCOTS Emul-
sion fights so powerfully for
health is because it gives so
much more nourishment than
you can get in any other way.

ity again he will find that the letter
was not written in 1892 but in Febru-
airy of 1893, year later He will find
in fact that the letter was written just
eight days before Cleveland was in
augurated and eight days after the
election of democratic senator in
South Dakota made it certain that the
democrats would control both house
and senate"
Mr.. Williams looked at Major Lacey
with establishment for moment and
then without word took up his book
OF reference and hunting out the letter
looked at its date. He regarded it
solemnly for moment and then lay
ing down the book said calmly:
My friend from Iowa is right The
letter was written in 1898: I with
draw my statement regarding its date
and as my argument was based on a
mistake must Of course withdraw it
also"
Mr.. Williams spoke several moments
longer but he made no mention of the
connection or lack of connection be-
tween democratic free trade ideas and
hard times.
An Old Argument.
The question of the responsibility
for the hard times of '93 has been
thrashed out by hundreds Of speakers
in every campaign since that time in
which the question of the tariff was an
issue but never before was the point
SO strongly brought out as in this little
incident. The Foster letter itself is a
boomerang if the democrats try to use
it. In itself it proves that hard times
were directly due to the ascendance of
the democrats to power and the fear
of any action they might take In con-
nection with the protective tariff.
In the election in November it was
Of course known that Cleveland was
elected, and that the house of represent
tatives would have democratic ma
jority, but the complexion of the sen.
ate was not known till the middle OF
February, when combination Of dem
ocrats, populists and weakened re-
publicans elected Senator Roach, a
democrat from South Dakota, and
thus gave the democrats one majority
in the senate. Secretary Foster, who
was wise and foreseeing business
man, saw Immediately from the con.
dition Of business throughout the coun-
try that an issue of bonds was to be
absolutely necessary. Consequently
he wrote this letter just few weeks
before he went out of office, with a
view OF assisting his successor to
prepare for the emergency That he
was correct in his views was proven
when the democrats did later issue
some $262,Oo0,0 600 worth of bonds.

Our unparalleled prosperity has coma under
the existing tariff. No steps should be
taken which are calculated to shake it's
foundation and bring disturbance. The
protective policy is accepted and should be
maintained as the basis Of our national
system. At the sam time changes Of rates
in particular schedules should be made as
their expedienoy becomes apparent, and
when It can be done without ~deranging in
dustry and business.
1t is plain from his discussion that the
president has come to the view that a
general revision Of the tariff before the
presidential election is inadvisable. He
would not p~recipitate the uncertainty
which such q movement would create. He
would not let the tariff become the foot ball
Of a political contest. But he would make
the American people feel that they can
rely on the friends OF the tariff to make
such notifications as may be shown to be
wise and required in the general interests.
His speech outlines a policy on which his
party can agree, and on which It can safely
enter on the presidential campaign.
