MONTANA NOTES.

Judge William Clancy of the district
court of Silver Bow county has made
an important ruling in the noted Peter
Peterson boycott case, wherein 1t was
sought by the defendant to enjoin the
Silver Bow Labor and Trades assem-
bly, from displaying boycott banners
and flags of the Western Federation
of Labor and American Labor Union
by refusing to grant the injunction
prayed for. The decision is a signal
victory for unions. and they may con-
tinue parading the streets with their
boycott banners and drums.
Tue strange malady, spotted fever,
which has been battling the skill of
physicians since its appearance sew
eral years ago, has broken out at
Victoria, the daughter of John Cleary
being in a precarious condition from
the disease. Great apprehension ex-
lists over the fear of a possible spread
Of the disease.
In the track meet held at Missoula
Saturday, the boys from the Wash
ington Agricultural college won from
the Montana State university hands
down. The young men from Washing
ton proved they were tried athletes
and true sportsmen. The final score
was 81 to 26 in their favor.
John Jackson, typhoid patient at
an Anaconda hospital, escaped from
that institution during his delirium
by jumping from second story win
dow, yelling to the startled attendant
that he was pursued by devils. All
night long Jackson eluded the vigil
ance Of guards who searched for him
and finally some time during the early
morning hours he wandered upon the
railway tracks where he was struck
by freight train and killed. Jackson's
body was frightfully mangled and was
cut almost in twain.

One of the first things | learned
when n boy was that feeding shear
oats to horses was wastcful. However.
| had TO do ii last fail and | now wish
had saved portion of my thrash
Ing bill that way. Several years ago
| read of certain farmer condemning
II COW because she leaked her milk,
while he had other cows that did not
pay their keep, although they did not
leak their milk, while the first COW
paid well in spite of her leakage. Now,
in the case Of my horses, l have
known them to pass oats with their
manure in so perfect a state that they
would grow, and no scheme of driv-
ing nails in the bottom Of their feed
boxes, putting In stones or having
their teeth tiatted by horse doctor
had any effect on them. But, 10! when
l fed them sheaf oats, not the first
vestige of an oat could be seen in
their manure. Now, what difference
does it make where or how the oats
are wasted? And If few pigs could
have access to the stable when the
horses were out in the field, 1t seems
to me that sheaf oats would have
the best end of the argument.-Farm,

Geese are extremely hardy and long
lived. They thrive on low-lying lands
which would not be suitable for fowls.
Old pasture Is best suited to their re-
Qurements, as they crop the grass
very short, and would likely destroy
the roots of newly sown grass. They
must be afforded liberty and lots of
grassy range. They are very coarse
feeders and will eat nearly anything
in the shape Of green food. Although
1t Is desirable to hatch early. 1t is moi
always advisable. as 1t depends upor
the climate and location. GOsllngs
need grass. and do not thrive unless
green food is supplied when they can
not get range.

One crop that should never be

to the young trees. you need only &c
plant part of the orchard to pota,

Republican Strategics Ia the Presi
dental Campaign.

Four months is the extreme limit OF
a Presidential campaign. The first
ten weeks must be devoted to organ
ization and preparation alone, for no
matter how important the issues, the
people will not take keen interest
during the heated term. The organ
ization Of the two parties has been
completed. Mr.. COrtelyou. in whose
hands are the reins Of control is re-
sponsible for the conduct of the Re-
publican fight. Consult he does, as
any general, with his lieutenantS, but
h is is the deciding voice as much as
Is that of the President in his cabinet
Now comes the strenuous seven or
eight weeks active campaigning.
Each party has two headquarters, one
in this East and the other in the West
that the managers may be in closer
touch with the several backgrounds
While the Republicans will NIT con-
cede that any of the States that were
carried by Mckinley In 1900 are doubt
full, they must accept the battle
where the enemy gives it, and con-
centrate their energies on the states
which the Democrats attack. In the
East, the Democrats are attempting
to capture New York, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and
West Virginia. To fight for these,
though most Of them are not regarded
as doubtful, is the duty Of the Eastern
headquarters, located in New York
City. In the West, Indiana Illinois
Wisconsin, Nebraska, Colorado, Idaho
Montana, and Utah are receiving the
most Democratic attention. For the
conduct OF the campaign In these
States the Western headquarters at
Chicago Is held responsible. Each
headquarters is in Chairman Corlel-
you's direct control He will divide
his time between the two as the ext
gencies Of the situation require, but
will at all times be Ia intimate touch
with bOth.-From chairman CIrtel

In the Probate Court,

Friday afternoon an action was
brought before the probate court for
the purpose of vevoking the adoption
papers held by James Wickwar by bis
adopted son Cecil The evidence dis.
closed In a lengthy hearing while per.
hapS not positively proving that the
lad had been receiving less attention
than other members of the family,
was sufficient to convince anyone that
the welfare Of the boy necessitate1 a
change. After the hearing Friday,
Probate Judge Countryman took the
matter uuder adylsement and render.
ed the decision Saturday morning.
The result was practical compromise
by which, Mr.. Wickwar releases his
claim to the boy and he is given to
bis uncle Charlie Turner who resides
in Woodward county, Oklahoma.
Cecil's mother, Mrs. Carney died
several years ago and his father il
still living Is a helpless invalid and
has been for years, In 1893, II. S.
Polling who was guardian for the
children, Cecil and a younger sister
placed him with the Wickwar family
where he has since resided. He was
then seven years Of age and a strong
and healthy boy. During this period
he had little schooling, and no oppor-
tunity to attend protestant church
services. Four times he has run
away and been returned. Since leav.
ing the last time he stated that he
would never return, and II compelled to
do so would never be satisfied. He is a
bright boy and there little doubt
about the change being for the best
interests Of the young man.

for the first day. They moulded and
pressed $50 blocks of stone two feet

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name of SINGER stands
for "family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine as is found
in every city in the world, and no prod
uct of American skill is better known,
or has wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pro-
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING CON-
PANY.
There will be two Singer pavil-
ions, one in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin Un-
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, ETC., by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries There will
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tucks at once, for
attaching all kinds of buttons, hooks
and eyelets, for sewing Sails for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for a thousand or more spe-
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
tional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, will excel anything
previously shown; and the various
types of sewing machines for family
use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.

TO have II construed as an Endorsement
OF President Roosevelt's candidacy and
of the liquor license of his party. while
in fact IL IS only an Endorsement of
HIS proposition made a few days ago for
another peace conference at The

the presidents sudden peace policy. the
effect may be to sIlay the widespread
fear that II Mr.. Roosevelt. whose re-
puted warlike disposition has been for

safely elected for a second term, he
may follow the example Of the car of

ference and then. rejecting all over
