of the noblest examples of modern
womanhood. unspoiled by immense
wealth and the frivolities of society.
BY her edict or influence the West
ern Union Telegraph company has
discontinued its service TO the race

causing the most OF them to close
up. 1t is a hard blow to this class
of gamblers and while the company
will suffer a great loss in revenue,

for good, While the Goulds and their
immediate friends are heavy stock
holders in the Western Union. per-

SETTLE IT NOW.

The taxpayers of Lewistown Will
heartily approve of the position TAX
en- by the city council as regards the
rights of the city to the reservoir site.
They should be determined at once.
even If it is necessary to take the
matter into the courts.
From our understanding, and If
wrong we are willing to be corrected,
the contract or agreement entered in
to between the city and Mr.. Jackson
and reduced TO writing, was wholly
satisfactory to both parties at the time
but o after Mr.. Jackson evlnced d
disposition not to abide by the agree
ment and has since stood out against
giving a deed in accordance there
with. Contracts were made out In
duplicate but the then city clerk mis-
placed the one given into his charge
and IL has not been found. We under.
stand Mr.. Jackson refuses to reveal
the contents of the one in his pos.
session.
Just what Mr.. Jackson Is holding
out for Is not clear, ever to members
of the council, although a committee
has been appointed to determine the
matter and take the necessary steps
to make him comply with his con-
tract.
Easement or right of way to the
reservoir site, we believe, is n of
the things he has trumped up TO make
a stand on. Surely. if Mr.. Jackson
expects to eventually plat his land
lying this side of the reservoir 1t
ought to be an easy matter to lay out
a street to the base of the hill upon
which the reservoir is located. As
for the land embracing the reservoir,
il has no money value whatever, and
as a matter of fact Mr.. Jackson would
be richly repaid for the right of way
for the water main and access to the
reservoir, if he had no other compen.
sation than the tap to the main
which the city agrees to give him.
In the agreement Mr.. Jackson was
to receive $3.50 for the reservoir site
and right of way. This would seen
a fair price considering his privilege
to water and the fact that his land Is
in no way damaged.
In any event, the city should have
its rights determined as soon as pos
sible. If Mr.. Jackson will not stand
by his agreement with the city lei
the courts take a hand in bringing the
matter to an issue.

Every good American and every

preme court of the United States, by
unanimous decision. upnolds the Law
for the exclusion of anarchists and
ailirms the decision of the circuit
court Of the southern district of New
York. which refused a writ OF habeas
corpus for Turner. the anarchist
whose name was in public print a
couple of months ago. Turner claim
ed TO be a theoretical anarchist. but
not one who put his theories into
practice. He simply sowed the seeds
of anarchy and watched developments
from some safe retreat. The exclu-
sion law seems to be constructed in
a manner to cover all kinds of an
archists without being unconstitution-
al, and that is the kind wanted. Tur.

THE LEWIsToWN EXCURSION.

the joint committees having the mat
ter in charge have arranged that the
excursion of the merchants and 9TH
er business men of Helena to Lew

June 4th. A special train has been
chartered. and several hundred of the
leading residents of Helena and vi
cinity have already signifled their in
tention of attending.
Primarily. the excursion will be for
the purpose of celebrating the com
pletion of the Montana railroad. thus
aifording direct rail communication
between Helena and the capital city
of Fergus county. One of the most
important commercial sections of the
state is thus brought III close touch
with the wholesale houses of this
city, and doubtless large and mulu-
ally profitable business transactions
between the two sections will follow.
Trade relations that ought to be of
no small moment to the people of
Fergus county and to the capital city
of Montana should be established,
and 1t is understood that this is one
purpose of the excursion.
The of Fergus county are
being developed more rapidly, per-
haps, than those of any other section
of Montana. Helena capital is large

much TO bring the business possible

GREAT FALLS CONVENTION.


The Democratic state convention
held at Great Falls last week was a
tame and spiritless affair. The at
tendance was small and there was a
lack of enthusiasm in the proceed
ings. There were but few of the party
leaders present and it was necessary
to rely upon Martin Maginnis. of IN
cient memory, to do the spellbinding
and arouse what little enthusiasm
there was.
The platform adopted was brief
and meaningless. its makers. for
some reason, overlooking the oppor-
tunity to grind out something denun-
ciatory OF the trusts and their re-
~lations to the tariff. The Kansas City
platform was Endorsed in a perfume
tory sort of a way in order not to
appear inconsistent and to pacify the
Hearst shouters in the party. It is
even said that the delegation to st.
Louis is out of harmony with this
plank of the platform.
Although there is some controver-
sy as to whether Senator Gibson was
turned down or not for his fight
against the land laws. it is certain
the senator will not feel elated over
the action of the convention. or the
committee on resolutions, which let
him down as lightly as possible, con
sidering the hostility to him in the
delegation from his own county. In
stead of condemning his course in
congress in opposing the land laws
or referring to him personally the res
olution in the platform was adroitly
constructed so as to leave as little
sting for the senator as possible. The
resolution read as follows:
We hereby denounce the wholesale
suspension of desert land entries as
unjust and unfair to the honest set
tier who has in good faith under pres
ent and existing laws taken up said
lands and has made an honest effort
to comply with the laws as the same
existed at the time when said lands
were filed upon, and We hereby call
upon our senators and representa-
tives in congress to use their very
best efforts with the department of
the interior to the end that said lands
may be withdrawn from suspension,
so that the honest settlers may have
an opportunity to submit their final
proofs upon said lands and. where
the law has been complied with. re-
ceive patents for said lands.
It will be seer that the above is
evasive in one respect. 1t does not
commit the party as being in favor of
or opposed to the repeal of the des-
ert land law, yet it hits Senator Glib
son indirectly. In Cascade county
more than in any other county in the
state. have Wholesale suspensions OF
desert land entries" been made and
il is believed that Senator Gibson
was responsible for the existing con.
ditions, hence the construction and
insertion of this moderate and modi.
fled resolution. There is no question
but Mr.. Gibson barely escaped a Sc
we're turning down for the peace and
harmony of the party and by men
who have little knowledge of or con
cern for either land or water.
The big counties bagged all the
honors the convention had to hand
out and in the next convention they
will take all of the choice plums IL
the nominations for the offices. Real
ly. the Democracy of this state is IN
