The small number OF those who nave
qualified themselves to vote in the
Fourth ward is explained by reason
of the lack of contest there. Only
one candidate is in the field there,
Mr.. Stoddard, who represented the
ward in the administration preceding
the persent.
In each of the remaining three
wards two candidates have been NOM
mated and as far as they are CON
cerned the election promises to be a
lively and spirited one. George F.
Bennighoff, for reelection, and J. w.
Vaughan are the candidates in the First.
Henry White, a member of the George
administration, and j. H. McElroy
are running in the Second, and August
Schmudlach, now representing the

ing in the Third.

1t is a great convention year with us;

for years to 'show off'-and | do
not even mention what is the greatest
benefit of all-that which will enure
directly to ourselves. Are we going to

having been framed for the purpose
of preventing competition between
convict ard free labor. The enforced
idleness day after day is oen OF the
greatest punishments the prisoners
have to endure, strange as this may
appear to some people. When the
addition to the old building was de-
cided upon and 1t was also concluded
to surround the prison with wall
the word was passed around among
the convicts. They saw in the con-
templated improvements an opportun-
ity for a welcome diversion from the
many weary hours of confinement in
cells, and they were a happy lot. Then
it was given out that only these with
exceptionally good prison records
would be permitted to work as re-
ward for their exemplary conduct
great change was apparent in many OF
the men. Fellows who had hitherto
paid no more heed to rules than they
were actually forced to yield at once
became model prisoners and did all
| in their power to retrieve themselves
| to gain the coveted privilegt OF daily
toll in the open air. The habit OF
good behavior then formed remained
with a majority afterward and some
nf those who suhsenuentlv received
| their discharge admitted that working
on the building and wall was the di-
rect cause of their reformation; that
for the first time they had learned
to appreciate the value of honest
labor and then and there resolved to
lead different lives when once more
permitted to mingle with lawabiding
people.

KNOWLES TO RESIGN.
Venerable Judge Will Tender Resig-
nation This Month.

" Some time during the present month
Judge Hiram Knowles will ask to be
retired as judge of the Ninth judicial
district of the United States, a right
which has been his for several months.
Under the law federal judge may
retire at the age of 20, provided he
has served 10 years on the bench.
Judge Knowles attained the retiring
age several months ago, but declined
to avail himself of his right at that
time, as he had a number OF cases
pending which he wanted to dispose
of. These are now at an end and
he feels free to lay aside his Office
and its vast train of responsibilities.
Judge Knowles may be said to have
been connected with the judiciary OF,
Montana since its earliest period, hav-
ing been appointed associate justice
of the territorial supreme court in
1868 In this capacity he served IL
years. In February, 1890, he was ap-
pointed to his present position.
The judge was born at Hampton,
Me-, January 18, 1884. Four years
later his parents emigrated to Illi-
nois and two years later removed to
Iowa. He received his earlier educa-
ton at Keokuk, where he took up the
study of law in the Office of Judge
Miles of the supreme bench. He
graduated from the Harvard law
school in 1860 and eight years after
ward received the appointment that
brought him to Montana, his home
, ever since.
| AS soon as retired Judge Knowles
will again take up his residence at
Missoula, to which place he removed
with his family from Butte some
years ago.

JUNCTION RESPONDS NoBLY.
Adds Literally to county's Worlds
Fair Fund.

In proportion to their numbers the
people of Junction have given lib
eral response to the appeal OF the
ladies entrusted with the task Of rails
ing money for the purpose OF furnish
ing and decorating the Montana build
ing at the st. Louis exposition. Twen-
ty-five dollars is the amount OF their
contribution.
The money was received few days
ago by the treasurer in a letter from
Miss Murphy, who teaches the public
school at Junction. Generous as is
the sum, the young lady wrote express
ing sorrow in behalf Of herself and
the good people of the hamlet that
it could not have been more. In ex-
PLANTATION she said that it had been
planned to give ball on the night OF
St. Patrick's day, but so many had
arranged to attend the dance at Mus
selshell that night that it was found
necessary to abandon the original pro-
ject. It was then decided to give a
Calico bail the night of the 25th.
Because of the stormy weather many
from the surrounding settlements
were unable to be present and the
looked for, large attendance did not
materialize.
! Miss Murphy undertook the manage
ment and responsibility of the affair
and the committee is duly apprecia
tive of her labor and the success that
attended it.

TEXANS FIND NEW MARKET.
Large Movement Of Cattle for Cuba
Has Begun.

Were the demand for stock as large
in the state as in former years the
stockmen of Montana would probably
be more deeply interested in reports
that come from Texas than they now
are. According to Fort Worth advices
a movement has begun there that is
something entirely new for this coun-
try as regards the livestock business.
1t is said that a large number OF cat
tie are to be exported to Cuba dur
ing the summer, and that arrange
ments are already under way for a
speedy shipment of the initial lot.
A roundup is now in progress that has
for it's object the gathering OF 49,
600 head for shipment from Calves
ton. This is intended only as start
er, for many more animals are to be
shipped before next fall.
Recent consular reports from the
department of commerce and labor
give considerable information concern
ing the attempt that has been made
and is now making to restock the
Cuban farms and raise the stock
growing industry to one OF the leading
ones of the island. 1t is claimed
that the climate and country are pecu-
liarly adapted to the growing OF cat
tie and some large ranches are es-
tablishing. Many of the farms and
ranches have been partially stocked
with Mexican cattle, but Texas has
also furnished not few and now pro-
poses to furnish the bulk of the re-
manning animals. To help the in,
dustry along the Cuban government
admits stock for breeding purposes
free of duty, while reduction has
also been made in the import tax or
other stock.
The vessels in the cattle trade be
tween Galveston and Cuba are capa
BILE of carrying from 900 to 1,2OO head
so if the immense movement expect
ed, and which is already under way
materializes to it's full extent, ship
ping from the Texas port should be
lively during the next six months OF
so.

Mr.. Mills B. Lane. president of the

morning from New York, where he was
in attendance on the annual conven-
ton of the American Bankers Associa-
ton.
Among other things done at the
meeting" said Mr.. Lane, was the de-
cision of the association not to go into
the business of bonding their employees.
This will be left to the fidelity COM
panies as at present. The question was
discussed for several hours. The mat
ter had been referred to the Executive
Council, where it was considered I'M
favorably, the report presented to the
convention being against the plan.
THE repeal of the bankruptcy law
was the theme of one paper though
the matter was not further discussed
Everybody had a nice time, but
there was nothing new like there was
when the convention was held in the

explored by all of the visitors hereto

There will be a meeting of the Ex-

the place for the next meeting. l think
it will be held either in Washington

SISTERS OF THE POOR
BUY MORE PROPERTY.
Five Lots i'm Decker Ward Purchas-
ed for $4,000.


A deed conveying four lots on Thir-
ty-sixth street to the Little Sisters of
the Poor was filed with the clerk of the
Superior Court yesterday. The prop
erty was sold by the Board of Trustees
of the Georgia Infirmary and the con-
sideration was $4,000.
The deed designates the property
sold as lots No. 81, 38, SO, 40 and Al in
Decker Ward, together with all build
ings and Improvements thereon. This
purchase gives the Little Sisters con-
troll of the entire block in which their
home is now situated, the block bound
ed north and south by Thirty-sixth and
Thirty-seventh streets, and east and
west by Lincoln and Abercorn streets.
The object of securing the additional
property is to provide room for he
enlargement of the Home, as the needs
of the city demand it. The work car
ried on by the Little Sisters of the
Poor is growing all the time, and as
the population of the city increases the
demands upon them will naturally be-
come heavier, In order to be fully pre-
pared for charging their Home and
erecting any additional buildings that
may be required. the property has been
bought.

CITY AMBULANCES FOR
EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY.

Mayor Myers Snys Matter VIII he
Taken Up by Council at Once.
Mayor Myers heartily agrees with
other city officials, who expressed
themselves while Mr. Myers was out
of the city, in favor of having the
city ambulances reserved for emergen-
cy calls only and requiring the hospi-
tails to furnish their own ambulances
for ordinary cases. He says the mat
ter may be taken up by Council in a
very short time.
"A great many of the patients for
the hospitals are from out of town, "
said the Mayor, and there is no rea-
son why the city should supply ambu-
lances for them. 1t is as much as we
can do to look after our own people.
The matter Will probably be taken up
by the Committee of the Whole right
away"
Until the Mayor returned it was not
thought that any action would be
taken in the matter until the Begin
ming of next year. He takes the posi-
ton, however that the matter should
at least be discussed by the aldermen
and investigated at once.
