thing he regards as settled, and that
is that he will do no more building.
He will spend no more money on his

proceeding very carefully, so that we

By a vote of about S61 to 627, voters

The election was held throughout the

the result was known
The Tribune has received returns
from more than S4 per cent of the
county; they show a vote of 543 for

turns not received will not materially
change the proportion.
Only % per cent of those qualified
to vote did so. Everyone who voted
at the general election in the fall Of
1904, in the county, was qualified to
vote. Even if every vote in the miss
ing precincts should be returned for
the law, if only 2S per cent of the pos
sible vote We're polled, the law would
still be defeated 1t is very probable
that the vote in the precincts that have
not reported was less than rs per cent

Exciting Scene Enacted in Legisla-
ture on PASSAGE of Bill.

Columbus, Ohio, March 27-Amid
scenes of excitement, almost unprece-
dented in Ohio legislative procedure,
the senate this afternoon passed th.
Aiken house bill, increasing the saloon
tax from $3.50 to 81 200; and sealed its
action by voting down a motion to re-
consider
The victory of the advocates of the
Aiken bill was Won by superior gen.
eralship in parliamentary procedure,
aided by the friendly support of Gov
eronr Harris the presiding officer of
the senate. The advocates of the 81 900
tax went into the session with only
IS votes, or one less than a constitu-
tional majority. Four senators, how.
ever, had agreed to support an amend
ment reducing the tax to $500 This
was shut out by a motion for the pre-
Vious question, which closed the de-
bate, and amid intense excitement the
roll was called. The vote stood Is to
Is. Senator Beatty Immediately
changed from no to yes, and amid tre
mendous cheering by the temperance
people in the galleries. Senators Berry
Bohemer, Denman and Lauman also
changed from no to yes.
After a few minutes lull during
which the crowd began to disperse,
Senator Berry moved reconsideration
of the vote and the lieutenant COVER
nor, seemingly not hearing the de-
mands for the yeas and nays,
promptly called for viva voce vote,
and the motion was declared lost.
Most intense excitement followed
this action, several Of the senators de-
nouncing the lieutenant governor from
the floor of the senate. Senator Ward
of Cleveland declared it was one of the
most disgraceful proceedings witnessed
in high body. The lieutenant gover-
nor, replying to the senators who had
assailed him, declared that he was act
ing within the rules of parliamentary
procedure, and assumed the full re-
sponsibility for all his rulings. Tho
Aiken bill will go into effect immedi-
ately upon being signed by the gov
ernor, or within ten days should it not
be signed or vetoed. The brewers claim
it will drive half the saloons of Ohio,
or about 5000, out of business.

DEMOCRACY and GRAVITY WATER
SYSTEM WIN SWEEPING VICTORY
Municipal Election Results The Election of Democratic Aldermen
and Overwhelming Majority for Pure WaterResnIt Was Sur
prise to Republicans.

Two democratic aldermen out of
three, and an overwhelming vote in
favor Of the gravity water system was
the net result of the municipal elec-
tion, which was held in this city yes
terday. Although lacking in the ex-
citement which has characterized past
city elections, there was strong in
terest taken in the election, and the
voting per centage Of the registration
was as high as in former contests. For
the aldermanic positions, the fight was
the hottest in the First ward. This
has always been the stronghold of re-
publicanism in Lewistown, no demo-
crat having ever succeeded in winning
on any sort of a proposition in that
ward.
This year both the old parties put up
the best men they could find in the
ward and it was an even contest from
start to finish. Party workers, espe-
cially the republicans, saw that their
people were duly registered and a COM
paratively full vote was secured. For
that reason, the victory of the demo-
cratic nominee Marion Leach, is con-
sidered cause for congratulation by
the democrats Of the city.
In the Second ward, the republican
candidate for alderman, Ira Wilbur,
defeated his democratic opponent, AL
bert Mansell, by a substantial major
ity.
J. E. Lane, who was regularly nomi-
mated by the democratic caucus, was
elected in the Third ward, defeating
S. D. Anderson, who ran independent
", by vote of 81 to %.
More than the average interest was
taken in the proposition to vote bonds
for the installation Of a gravity water
system. There was much speculation
as to the probable outcome on this
question, the opposition making Wig
orous fight throughout the day. The
overwhelming vote with which the
bonds carried was a surprise to the
most sanguine supporters of the propo-
sition They would have been pleased
had the proposition simply carried, but
they never hoped for such a deluge OF
votes for the gravity system.
The city council met last night in
the city hall and canvassed the votes.
The results as canyassed were as fol-
lows:

BIG STORM IN BILLINGS,

Reports over the telephone from
Layina state that one of the worst
storms in years ragged all day Sum-
day and the greater part of yester-
day through the southern part OF
Fergus county and practically all
over Yellowstone county. In Bill
ings two feet of snow fell, all tele-
phone, telegraph and electric wires
were down and traffic was COM
pletely tied up all day Sunday. AS
a result of the wires being down,
several fires started in different
parts of the city, but none were
serious. At Lavina, the storm was
also very severe, and it was said in
special dispatch to the Democrat
that there will be a large loss in
sheep along the Musselshell as a re-
suit of the blizzard

In view of the prediction of Consul
General Mason that the resources of
the United States will be exhausted in
another century, it is interesting to
note that the production of the metal
in this country has nearly doubled in
six years.
Since the steel trust was formed it
has mined nearly 100,O00,000 tons.
Outside of the new ore bodies on the
properties of the United States Steel
corporation located by Thomas F. Cole,
the president of the North Butte COM
pany, it is estimated that the trust has
SS0,OOO,000 ons of ore in sight.
What the Hill ore properties contain
seems to be as much a mystery as ever.
Mr.. Hill estimates the reserves on his
iron property between 00,0O0,0O0 and
600, 100000 tons.
According to some experts, the visi-
BILE iron ore supply, at the present rate
of consumption, will have been ex-
hausted in sixty years.-Butte News.

who broke the hoodoo, and it is safe to
assume that the First will be demo-

The municipal election in Lewistown
was but straw which shows the way
the wind will blow at the coming coun-
ty election. The democrats are splen-
didly united, and by holding together,
will sweep the county in November
A large number of citizens have very
kindly complimented US upon the en-
terprise shown in getting out a special
Pure Water Edition" of the Demo-
crat Saturday afternoon. There is a
general impression that the manner in
which the special edition placed the
facts before the taxpayers had a great
deal to do with the victory for the
gravity system.
There was nothing to it but democ-
racy in the Third ward The republic
ans have become discouraged putting
up men in that ward and now ''let her
go as she looks" She looks good for
the democrats for long While to come.

The BIG COAL
STRIKE NOW ON
Over Half a Million Men Walk Out
Of Mines in the East.

Indianapolis, March 31.-The national
executive board Of the United Mine
Workers of America held a session to-
day, to take up in detail the manage
ment Of the strike, which was naugur-
ated in the anthracite and bituminous
coal mining districts of the country at
the close of work today
Men numbering 500, 500 left the mines
this evening, not to return until their
employers have siged the wage scale
demanded by the miners in national
district, composed of Illinois and Ohio
and western Pennsylvania. Monday
will be the eighth anniversary of the
eight hour day concession, and will be
observed as usual as holiday. 1t was
anticipated by members of the national
executive board today that the scale
would be signed in all probability by
some of the operators of western Penn
sylVania, either this evening or Mon
day.
Before the board went into execu-
tive session at the national headquar-
ters of the union, members said for
NAL strike order would not be issued
but at the close Of work today the men
would leave the mines with their TOOLS
and would not return until the scale
had been signed by the operators, and
they had been so notified by the dis
trict officials
Members Of the board said that ev-
er step would be taken to prevent vio-
lence. and formal declaration to the
miners forbidding rioting or destruc-
ton of property, and urging them to
properly conduct themselves, would be
issued.
The executive committee of the oper-
ators of the southwestern district to-
day sent the following telegram to
President Roosevelt:
''To the President, WashingtOn-COal
operators, representing more than 95
per cent of the output of coal in the
territory named, this afternoon offered
the following resolution in joint con-
vention:
THE operators of the Southwestern
Interstate Operators association, en-
bracing, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas,
Texas and Indian Territory, realizing
the gravity of the crisis caused by the
failure of themselves and the miners
to agree on wage scale, and the con-
ditions of labor in that field, now pro-
pose to submit all questions to arbtra
ton before a commission to be ap-
pointed by the president of the United
States, the award of said commission
to be binding on both sides.
THE miners voted against the reso-
luton; but Notwithstanding their ac-
ton, the operators are still anxious
that the differences between them and
the miners be adjusted.
