TO prove what the buying power of this

manufacturer who turns out only few
pianos each mouth will certainly have to
pay more for the material in each piano
there is absolutely no doubt about
this.
When you consider these facts and
put this truth along side of them, that
there are only three companies in the
United States who have made and sold
as many pianos as ourselves-that we
haven't competitor making high

ours--it needs no argument to convince
you that. quality for quality, you can
buy cheaper of US than of any one else.

Associate Justice David j.
Brewer, of the United States Su-
r-eme Court, in discussing the
prevailing tendency to lynchings
in this country, takes the position
that the remedy must be in an
assurance that the criminal negro
who abuses a white woman will
be speedily prosecuted and pun
ished and that higher courts must
be debarred the privilege of re-
versing the verdicts in such cases.
And the justice is correct in his
diagnosis of the case. No human
being with a spark of manhood
can witness an assault by a brutal
negro upon white women with
out having his angry passions
aroused, but the people would not
be so ready to take the law in
their own hands if they could have
any assurance that the law would
not be distorted and outraged to
such an extent that the brute
would eventually escape a just
punishment for his crime.

'Tis a true saying, that every
dog has his day. When General
Miles retired from the command
of the army on the Sth OF this
month the world had many good
! things to say of him because of
the gallant 1ecord he made. But
not Il word of praise came from
the President or the Secretary of
War. These two officials were as
| silent as clans. Where other Of
ficers who had retired were lauded
for their good work, Miles was
passed by with the bare an
nouncement Of his retirement by
virtue of having reached the age
limit. But the people will take a
better view of the achievements of
Nelson A. Miles, and they are
taking that view now. Papers of
every political complexion are
severely criticising the President
and Secretary of War for their
unwonted insult to a brave and
gallant soldier who has served his
country honorably and well, and
whose back has never been turn
ed to a foe. They will continue
to comment, and the more they do
so the greater will become Miles
popularity. Root was never a |
soldier, the President was SOL
dier for only a few months, but
Miles has seen over forty years of
active duty we'll performed. The
public will not fail to place the
credit where it belongs, and his
tory will accord to Nelson A.
Miles the fame that is justly due.

Number of Years.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MouNTnIs.


Dillon, March IS.-Because he was re-

killed Richard Martin, bartender in a
Bannack saloon, shortly after midnight last
night.
Bannack Is 80 miles west Of here and
only brief facts of the tragedy have been
received.
The county attorney, coroner and dep
uty sheriff have gone to Bannack to inves-
tigate the case. Pollack is under arrest,
having been seized by bystanders immedi-
ately after the killing.
Martin tended bar in Clement & Nc
Manus' saloon and beside tending bar has
prospected in this vicinity, having lived in
this locality for about IS years. He was
about IS or 40 years old, and, so far as
known, had no family in this section.
Pollack has worked as laborer around
Bannack. He has the reputation of being
quarrelsome when drinking
According to the story reported here he
had been drinking and was quarrelsome.
Martin refused to give him any more
drinks. This made him st.l more angry,
and, going to George Stephensons cabin,
nearby, he procured pistol and returning
fired FIVE shots at Martin. One struck the
latter in the temple, another went through
his heart, and the balance pierced other
parts of the body. Death was, of course,
instantaneous. Pollack was promptly
taken into custody and the affair created
considerable excitement.

Assessors of Both Silver Bow
and Deer Lodge Counties
Are Determined.
ASSESSOR BROWN MAY
RUSH MATTERS THROUGH
Then Assessor leveneocd May Make an
Assessment Also After the Law
Chanecs-Chance for Complications
That viii Keep Courts and Lawyers
Busy Long Time.

There is going to be considerably more
discussion over the dispute between Asses
sor Brown OF Silver Bow county and Asses
sor Levengood of Deer Lodge county as TO
who shall make the assessments this year
in the Big Hole district
AS heretofore published in the Inter
Mountain, Assessor Brown maintains that
he has the right to make the assessment,
and that the taxes on property in that dis
trict are payable to Silver Bow county.
The bill does not take effect until June
I5 and there is a chance for a double
assessment, which will keep the courts and
attorneys in business for some years in
Strengthening out what may prove bur-
densome tange Should Assessor Brown
start in on the first Monday in April and
rush things in the Big Hole he might be
able to have the entire assessment finished
before the change comes. Then, il Asses
sor Levengood decides to assess also, some
one among the property owners there will
have to go into court and ask for legal
decision as to where to pay his taxes.
A special to the Inter Mountain from
Anaconda this afternoon says:
Anaconda, March I8.-Assessor Leven-
good and the Deer Lodge board of county
commissioners are of the opinion that
there can be little dispute regarding the
right Of the Deer Lodge officials to assess
the new strip of land which is to come to
their county from the Big Hole country,
and they say assessments of land must be
made after the first Monday of April and
before the second Monday in July.
The bill takes effect on June IS, and
consequently, say the county commissions
ers, Deer Lodge county assessors will be
in position to make the assessments on
the new land for this year. That Deer
Lodge county will secure the taxes from
that strip of country is in the opinion of
the county officials a certainty.

Him, II Is Probable That lmpeach-
ment Proceedings viii Be Taken
Against Him at Once.

Notwithstanding the notice Of the surety
company's withdrawal from his bond and
the general belief that the official days Of
Squire Tim Harrington are about over,
the lively justice of the peace is just as
much a magistrate as ever-and has
chances of continuing.
As published in the Inter Mountain, the
Baltimore Surety company which bonded
the Squire for $4,000, gave notice OF
withdrawal from the bond, such notice be-
ing served on the judges of the district
court and the county commissioners.
1t now transpires that the right officials
have not been notified by the company or
its resident agent, S. McKenna, and that
SO far there is nothing legal in the notice
Of withdrawal on the bond.
Under the law the notice should be
filed with the county clerk for at least 10
days prior to the intended withdrawal. For
this reason the board of county commits
sioners have taken no action in the matter.
There is still another chance for the
erratic Squire to land outside the com

claimed to be deficiency in his accounts

fed the county attorney that they had re-
ceived notice that Justice Harrington had
collected in total some So in license fees
which he had not turned over
Mr.. Breen notified the justice to call at

to attend to the matter.
There is a prospect that in the event of
his failure to appear before tonight that

take action which may lead up to impeach-
