GAMBLING AT
KENDALL ENDS
County Attorney Roy Ayers Extends
His Order Against Gaming to
the Mining Camp.
TO SEE THAT IT IS ENFORCED
Pays a Personal Visit to Kendall
Sports Were Flocking to the
Camp.

County Attorney Roy E. Ayes made
the discovery this week that since
gambling was prohibited in Lewis
town, there had been a considerable
growth in this evil at Kendall and
that number of sports who left this
city when they found their occupa-
tion gone, simply moved over to the
mining camp and resumed operations.
Further, it came to the notice of the
county attorney that a lot of parapher-
MALTA formerly used in conducting
games here was being shipped to Ken
dali.
Decided to Act.
This did not please Mr.. Ayers al
all, and believing that If gambling
was to be prohibited in Lewistown
it ought also to be stopped in Ken.
dali, he gave out the order Wednes-
day afternoon to put the lid on at the
mining camp. The order was placed
in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Fish
er, who passed the word, and while
It came as a complete surprise to the
knights of the green cloth, they obey
ed it, and waited for developments
Goes Out to the Camp.
The first of these was the arrival
of the county attorney at the camp
yesterday morning. Mr.. Ayers decid.
ed to make visit to Kendall in per.
son in order that he might see just
how things were goinig, and also to
make it clear that the order was given
to be obeyed, and that no subterfuges
would be permitted.
May Extend It Further.
The county attorney states that
when he issued his order in this city
he intended that it should apply gen
orally throughout the county, and in
case it is not obeyed in any particu
lar place, if the fact comes to his
knowledge, he will give special or
der directed at that place, and follow
it up by whatever action is necessary
to accomplish the desired end. 81
far, nothing has been reported as tt
Gilt Edge, and no special action ha'
been taken with reference to samD
ling in that camp.
Is His Own Move.
Mr.. Ayers states that he is no
pursuing this policy at the suggestion
of any person, but that it originated
with him, and he simply intends tt
see that the law against gambling il
enforced SO long as he holds the OF
fee of county attorney.

SPECIAL RATE
FOR OUR FAIR
SECRETARY BELDEN Is NOW
LOOKING AFTER THE SPEC
IAL FEATURES.

For the Fergus county fair to be
held here September 20, 21 and %,
the Montana railroad has decided to
put in rate of one and a fifth fare
for the round trip, from all points on
the line, and this will undoubtedly y
bring to the city a very large number
of visitors during fair week.
Working on the Races.
With the assurance that the live
stock, agricultural and other displays
will be all that could be desired, Sec
retary o. w. Belden is now devoting
his entire time to the race program
and other special features. The en-
tries in the racing events are coming
in rather slowly, Notwithstanding the
liberal purses offered, but Mr.. Bel
den thinks they will fill out all right
in ample time.
The track is now in such perfect
condition that races could be held
there this afternoon, and when the
finishing touches are completed, 1t Will
compare favorably with any course IN
the state.
Some Special Features.
What Mr.. Belden is now trying tc
! secure is a special feature program
that will furnish entertainment fol
all classes of visitors. Many, ot
course, will be chiefly interested In
the live stock and agricultural dis
plays, while others who care nothing
for such exhibits, will give all theil
time to the racing, and still other!
will look for amusement outside o
either the exhibit buildings and thu
race track. To have something to in
terest all classes is the aim of th'
management.

MORE FRENZIED FINANCE.
Methods Of the New York Life lnsur.
ance Company.

0USS SOtiPduys
New York, Sept. 12.-Selling $780,
600 in bonds one day and buying
them back the next, except one,
holiday intervening, in order to make
a statement to the state superintend-
ent of insurance, which would be with
in the law, was shown to have been
a transaction of the New York Life
according to the sensational disclos-
ure made today at the session of the
legislative insurance investigating
committee. The fact was drawn from
Edmund D. Randolph, treasurer OF the
New York Life, late in the day, after
Attorney Chas. N. Hughes, counsel of
the committee, had labOred for more
than an hour to get direct answer
from Mr.. Randolph to direct ques-
ton.
The inquiry had dragged through
a mass of figures during almost the
entire day, but it was not until near
the hour for ending the session that
the sensational feature was brought
out.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Randolph
had handed Mr.. Hughes schedule
of syndicate underwritings and trans
actions of the New York Life for the
last 10 years. This statement was
to show, and foot note to the sched-
ule stated, that the company had par
ticipated in no syndicate transactions
that had been closed out with a loss.
Among these syndicate transactions
was the underwriting of the Naviga-
tion syndicate, or international Mer.
camille Marine"
Mr.. Hughes drew from the witness
that an aggregate of $4OOO,OOO was
paid by the New York Life to ]. p
Morgan & company on this "joint &C
count"
Mr.. Hughes then took up a sales
item dated December 81, 1903, o1
100000 of International Mercantile
Marine stock. Mr.. Randolph, reply
ing to Mr.. Hughes, said this sale
was made on December 81, 1908, anG
that the stock was purchased bacl
on January 2. 1904, from j. P. Nor
gan & company.
After failing for some time to ge
a direct answer. Mr.. Hughes finall,
asked Mr.. Randolph:
"As matter of fact there was {
report to the superintendent Of insur
ance on December 81, 1903"
"Yes."
Then, the sole purpose of the trans
action was that you might be able t,
tell the superintendent of insuranc,
that you had only $3,2OO,OOO of Inter
national Mercantile Marine shares?
Witness hesitated and tried to evad
a direct answer, but Mr.. Hughes re
peated the question until Mr.. Ran
dolph finally said, "Yes."
There wac a YoOvnontorv huch fn
lowed by a murmur of suppresse
excitement.
Following the navigation syndicat
transaction, Mr.. Hughes referred t
an item on the schedule of the syI
dicate transactions under the date c

Saved from Suicide by Bath

A keeper at the county jail in Jer-
sew CITY made the discovery few
tays ago that Nicola Murdaco, con
demned Italian murderer, was in need
of a bath.
The tip was furnished by Edward
Tapeley, negro murderer, who is
under sentence to hang one week be-
fore the date set for Murdaco's eXecu-
ton. Tapeley said he strenuously OBJ
iected to confinement in the same
cell with the Italian unless the dago
had a wash"
Murdaco was ordered to get into the
bathtub. but refused. He said he
would die first. and then six attend
ants yanked his clothes off and wash.
ed him. Murdaco's yells were heard
in every part of the jail. Three or
four men held him down while others
scrubbed him from head to foot.
Murdaco tried to kill himself the
other day by twisting and pulling his
tongue until it bled at the roots. The
keepers believe the Italian had an
idea that he could commit suicide by
allowing the pores of his skin to close
up. and for that reason refused tc
wash himself

TO CURE HABIT OF BLUSHING.
Open Air Exercise and Compsnionshlp
Will Do It,

The habit of blushing is almost In
variably cause of great annoyance to
Its possessors. Very frequently 1t seri-
ously hampers them in the ordinary
affairs of life, for bushing is accom-
panied by confusion of mind, nervous
ness and hesitancy The two main
points in the treatment of shyness,
which is the great cause of blushing,
are, first, open-air exercise, and, sec
ond, the society of others. Open-air
exercise is good for all morbid disor-
ders, such as excessive shyness, while
the social life makes for self-control
and that savoir faire we all seek to
attain; for the latter enables us to go
through life without betraying awk-
wardness and timidity. Abnormally
sensitive people may find the cure a
lengthy one but If they persevere the
very mental effort which is put forth
to accomplish the remedy will aid
them in acquiring control over their
tell-tale blushes.-New Orleans Times

John Hay No FaGdist.

"The late John Hay, said Chica

that we Americans, in our impetuosity

in London. At Hyde Park corner a
vegetarian from Frisco joined us, and
as we slrolled onward, this vegetarian

SECRET POLICE OF FAIRS.
Four Branches of Organization, With
VARYING Duties.

You cannot go anywhere in Paris
without meeting the secret police, al
though you would never recognize
them" observed a Briton familiar
with the French capital. There are
four divisions of these uniformed
crime detectors. The first division is
known as the Surety, the business OF
which is to track down known crimi-
mails and capture them. They are dar-
ing, willy and resourceful fellows, and
it is a clever malefactor indeed who
can evade them. Another body of this
plain clothes police looks after the
tenants of lodging houses and hotels.
They take note of all the arrivals and
departures, and gather statistics re-
garding the workmen in the factories,
the sick in hospitals and private
houses. and so forth A third division
occupies itself with political plotters,
,agitators and gamblers. At meetings
of a seditious character they mingle
with the crowd, and Go disarm sus
picion) applaud as loudly as anybody
and join in denunciations of the gov
eminent They appear in gambling
,dens as gamblers themselves and
they also keep a quiet watch on the
regular police. The remaining dlVls
ion consists of elegantly dressed per
sons who watch over the president
and protect him not only from assas
sins, but also from bores and cranks.,

Rest is VaIua Bile.

The only way to rest is lie down In

of such rest is valuable; the muscles

A SENSIBLE WAY.

The manner in which Norway and
Sweden went about settling their trou-
bles is worthy of international notice.
The two nations, for term of years
bound together in union. have decided
TO sever their ties and remain independ-
ent, and this without flying at one an
others throats or trying to swallow up
each other. The example is one which
really shows substantial progress of
modern civilization and of ideas which
a hundred years ago would have been
regarded by the great rulers OF the
world as weak and stupid. 1t would be
interesting TO know what George Ill. OF
England, or Napoleon, of even Bismarck,
would have said were such a policy
presJlted to either of uhqm. 1t is
doubtful even if in the days before
the war of the rebellion the statesmen
of this country would have seen any
wisdom in it. The conditions, of course,
are not identically those which ex-
listed between the north and the south
in 1861, but there are elements in the
controversy between the two countries
which with little difficulty might have
produced a war disastrous TO both.
With the troubles that Russia mas, it
shows cool wisdom on the part of the
delegates of the two peninsular coun-
tries in conference at Karlstad that
tney could avoid conflict at arms and,
while separating, maintain strength
that may be valuable to both against
other troubles which appear to be fore
ing themselves to the surface in nearly
every country Of Europe and which in
volve the forms of government and eco
nomic conditions.

INSURANCE COMPANIES NEEDED.

The Cleveland Leader aptly declares
that condemnation of misconduct on
the part OF high officials of great life
insurance companies must not be per-
mtted TO extend to the principle of in
suTance." Life insurance companies,
both fraternal and old line, have long
been considered necessary adjunct to
the business world They have dis
bursed money, in multitude of in.
stances where il has enabled those de-
pendent on the insured to maintain a
comfortable existence. To many peo-
pie, such companies have been bles-
sing, for the money thus invested
would have been spent, and those
who had needed the protection would
have been without it. The present
scandals are the natural outcome Of
dollar worship" the greed for gold
that has been one of the greatest
curses of modern civilization. Out of
it all, however, will come, it can safely
be predicted, an ideal condition of af-
fairs in which the square deal" will be
the predominating factor.
