DEFEAT IN A KISS.
May Cause Loss to Republicans
of State of Montana.

According to a dispatch from Butte,
q kiss stands good chance of costing
the republican party the state OF Mon
tana. State Senator Myers, a repub-
iican nominated to succeed himself, it
appears, stole kiss from young lady
on the street in Red Lodge. The girl
was highly indignant, as were her
friends, some of them powerful in pol
itics. The friends served notice on the
state committee that If Myers were
not fred off the ticket they would see
to it that the party was beaten. Myers
was asked to resign, but refused TO do
so, and Chairman Lee Mantle said be
could find no authority for displacing
him. Thus the matter stands, 1t is
practically certain that the stolen kiss
will cost Myers his seat.

Reign of Anarchy

Riot follows riot in the mining
district of Victor, Colorado.
While a mass meeting was being
held on Monday last, to discuss
the murder of the thirteen non
Union miners OF Independence, a
riot broke out and two men were
killed and eight or more people
injured. Great excitement pre-
vailed. The Citizens Alliance is
in command and masters of the
situation. Union miners are be-
ing arrested as fast as they can be
found. The sheriff has been
compelled to resign, a new sheriff
has been appointed, who with a
hundred deputies and many mill
tiamen have secured the hills
and arrested every Union miner.
Over 200 hundred are now con-
fined in the bull pen. Some more
have already been shipped away
by train and will probably be
taken to Denver. The men sent
away were mostly strike leaders
of the Unions. The acting gov
ernor has issued a proclamation
declaring martial law, and officers
have gone to Cripple Creek who
are authorized to use their best
Judgment as to it's enforcement.
Many of the local officials who
are known to have Union sy1npa-
thies have been deposed.

INDIAN LANDS
TO BE ASSESSED

The Indian lands on the Puyallup reser-
walton are to be taxed. County Assessor
Edward Meath will act upon the opinion
of County Attorney Campbell and proceed
to assess the land of the Indians. 1t will
be appraised as farming, grazing or unim-
proved land only, and the speculative value
will not be considered at all.
Attorney j. j. Anderson, formerly In
dian commissioner, holds the opinion that
lands sold either by the Indian commls-
sioner or by the Indians personally are
taxable if paid for, while lands held by
the Indians as their original allotments are
exempt from taxation. 1t appears, too,
that when the restriction regarding the
sale of Indian lands was removed the law
was not changed to render the property
subject to taxation.
An Indian may become a citizen of the
United States, but his citizenship is pc
cuhar in that his property, under the
law, so long as he lives on his original
reservation allotment, is exempt from tax
alton. Other attorneys express themselves
similarly. Nevertheless, the valuation of
the land will be appraised and an assess
nent made, and it is believed by Mr..
Meath that the assessment will not be con
tested.

COUNCIL Will GRANT FRANCHISE
TO COMPETING STREET RAIL WAY

the speed of cars, and the employment of
none but skilled and competent men as
motormen,
Councilman Christofferson wanted the
ordinance amended so that the company
would not be allowed to run any through
cars between points within the city limits.
On this ma tier the committee was divided.
Some members held that the running Of
through cars in the morning and at night
was a greater convenience to people living
in the suburbs than it was an incon-
venience to those who lived within the
city limits. Councilman Olson said it was
a hard proposition to decide and that
there would be dissatisfaction no matter
how the question was settled Councilman
Hawley, who had stood on the street
crossings and seen through I. r. & P.
car go whizzing past, leaving him to
wait 20 minutes in the cold, did not
take the same view of the situation. The
matter was finally settled by inserting in
the ordinance a clause providing that all
cars except special or excursion cars
should stop wherever there were passen-
gers waiting
Another bone OF contention was the
section granting the company the privilege
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-03-04

Meeting as a committee of the whole,
the city council spent about two hours
last night considering the ordinance grant
ing street railway franchise to the Com
mercial Trust company. After making
several changes in the ordinance the com
mittee recommended its passage by the
council
The ordinance is practically the same
as the one governing the Felt and Tacoma
Railway & Power company's franchises.
The first discussion occurred over the
section which provided that the fare be-
tween points in the city limits should
not exceed 5 cents The majority of the
councilmen were of the opinion that, as
this was to be a competing company, they
did not think any attempt would be made
to charge more than cents. The section
was amended so as to remove all possible
chance of the company ever increasing
the fare.
The section in regard to the transfer
of the franchise was changed so as ia
permit a transfer only with the consent
of the council.
Councilman Snyder proposed amend
ments providing for gates on all cars for
the protection of passengers, regulating
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-03-04

of laying its tracks to South Tacoma along
the right of way Of the city water ditch.
The opposition to this feature of the or
dinance was led by Councilman Roice. He
was supported by Councilman Giblett. A
majority of the councilmen were in favor
of letting the company use the water
right of way. Councilman Olson took the
position that nothing would do Tacoma
so much good as q competing street rail
way line, and he did not propose to ham
per the project by opposing the most di'
rect, and, in fact, the only available route
to South Tacoma
Stuart Rice spoke on the subject and
said that the company wanted that route
because it was tAe'most direct and would
best enable it to- serve the public. The
majority of the cpuneilmen reached the
same conclusion.
A section providing for the free trans
portation of mail carriers when in uni
form, police officers and fremen when In
uniform, and all other city employees wher
on duty, was also inserted.
A motion by Councilman Giblett tc
the effect that the company be required
to sell six tickets for rs cents was mo-
Supported.

SOMEBODY STOLE PULASKI CO.'S
JAIL AND ITS TWO PRISONERS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 4.-some-
body stole the Pulaski county Jail and two
prisoners the other night and the sheriff s
posse has searched for it in vain.
Pulaski county is to have new Jail at
Winamac. 1t had one and the county
decided to build the new one on the spot
occupied by the old one. To do this, of
course, the old Jail had to be torn down.
Sheriff Merritt borrowed an old boxcar
from the Pennsylvania railroad, which runs
through the town, and announced that it
would be used as jail.

TOOK STRYCHNINE
AND DIED IN AGONY

SEATTLE, March 4.--Alone and SEEM
ingly without friends George Dean took
strychnine and died last evening On his
person was found statement that DR.. A.
Chalmers Stoddart, of the Liebig medical
institute, owed him $3.50. DIR. Stoddart
denied that the man had ever been at his
place. When confronted with the fact
that life membership card in the 'insti-
tute" was in one of the dead mans pock-
cts, the doctor still maintained that he
had never known the man.
Deans suicide was somewhat sensation
al He took poison in the Travellers Rest,
a lodging house at 2ll1A Second avenue
south. He was sitting alone at the time.
Inmates of the place heard him crying out
for water; then groaning in deep agony.
Running to his side, they found him con-
vulsed and frothing at the mouth. Medical
aid was secured at once, but the man was
dead in a very short time.

FIGHT ON CLEVELAND

NEW YORK, March 4.-The open dec.
laration of Murphy, the leader of Tam
many Hall, in favor of Cleveland's nomina-
tion for the presidency has brought trihe
more clearness into the political atmo-
sphere, but the final outcome of the com.
plicated situation is not by any means re-
moved from the speculative stage. The
friends of Judge Parker are beginning to
fear that there is trouble coming their
way, and it is said that in the hour Of
need they have even tried to obtain as
sistance from William Jennings Bryan. AL
though it is quite well known that Mr.
Bryan is not an enthusiastic admirer Of
Judge Parker, so far as his views on the
silver question are concerned, it is believed
that his feeling of opposition to Cleve
land will be strong enough in him to in
duce him to intercede for Parker, although
the latter is not his favorite candidate.

WAGES WERE CUT
AND WORK STOPPED

HOQUIAM, March 4.-Because the
Northwestern Lumber company of this city
wanted to cut the wages of the skilled
men in their box factory 25 cents a day
the crew walked out yesterday and the
plant was closed down indefinitely. This
throws 40 men out of employment. Last
December a general cut of rs cents was
made on the harbor, and nearly all the
mills cut wages, with the exception OF the
e. X. Wood Lumber company of this city,
which is now running IL hours a day with
full crew.
The men all stood for this cut in the
other mills, which has reduced the wages
of men with families to Sl.75 day, on
which they say they can barely live. This
is the second cut the men in the factory
have had, and rather than stand for it
they walked out. An effort was made to
break in a new crew and one laborer, a
man named Keeter, who took a machine,
had his hand taken off by coming in con
tact with a moving saw.
