took a hand in the anne by annoanc'
ing that no more prize fights will De
permitted in that city. The cause OF
that ultima.nm was the widely'..adver'
tised fact that two well-known rival
pugilists would fight for supremacy
and a certain division Of the;'gate
mOney-ou a certain date. Mayor
MacGinnis lost no time in appri-ing
the contestants and their supporters
that the lid has been placed on the
prize fighting game in Butte and viii
stay there.
As;their visions of the gate money
were fast disappearing, the promoters
of the so.called fight decided to trans
fer the game to some other part OF
Montana, and selected Havre as a
place that promised profitable returns.
But they neglected to take into account
the disposition Of Chouteau county
officials to enforce the law. A few
days after i: was announced that the
event was to be pulled off IN this
locality, the public officials Of Chou.
teau county issued an ultimatum 'sim'
liar in effect to that given by the
mayor of Butte-aud the sO.called
fighters are again knocked out.
The good people Of Chouteau county
will commend the action OF their
pu bic officials in this matter. The
presence of professional pugilists is a
detriment to the material aud moral
welfare of the community. They con-
tribute nothing to the building up OF
an intelligent and prosperous common
wealth. AS a general thing, they are
parasites, living upon the generosity
OF others, and many of them have law.

committed in the prize ring.
The inten, OF the anti prizetighting
law was to drive these men from
Montana. Their departure has beer
delayed, but it is hoped we will soon be
quit Of them.

A feature Of the inaugural is the

King6sher, w. c. Renfrow of Ok
lahotna City, Cassius M. Barnes Of
Guthrie, William M. jenkins, now
|of California, and Thompson B.
Ferguson, the retiring governor.
Barnes and Ferguson were the only
governors to fill out a complete
term, and perhaps they will always
retain that distinction for the rea-
son that statehood will cut short
the four year term Of Frank Frantz.
In as much as the people of Ok
lahoma generally believe that
FrRntz will be the last Territorial
governor. the demonstration was
all the greater and in addition to
honoring the incoming governor,
the event was also a demonstra-
tion in favor Of immediate Joint
statehood with Indian Territory.
The biggest demonstration was
be made, Of course, by the people
of Enid in that Enid is the houie
town ct Governor Frantz. The
public schools Of that city we E

PassaacSt Arms

Washington, Jan. I4.-Speaker
Cannon and representative Bab-
cock Of Wisconsin, the latter the
leader of the insurgent forces in the
house, had an interesting meeting
yesterday in the speakers S room.
As the result os Mr.. Babcock' 5
visit several interesting stories we're
in circulation, some of sensational
character, indicate serious breach
between the two gentlemen. That
they differ in their views upon the
Philippine tariff bill and the state
hood bill has long. been evident,
and it was in regard to these diff
lerences that the meeting occurred
today. Mr.. Babcock took except
ion to an article appearing in the
newspapers, and preferred request
that he be recognized on a matter
of personal privilege in the house
to deny it. The conversation re-
vealed the fact that Baboock was
under the impression that the ar
ticle to which he objecteu had been
instigated by the speakers friends.
He was assured that such was
not the case. and the interview ter
minated without diaclosing more
than radical differences as to the
bills which are now the chief topic
Of conversation about the house.
Members of the insurgent faction
now maintain that So republicans
are positively pledged to vote A.
gainst the proposed rule preventing
the amendment OF the Hamilton
joint statehood bill. The insur-
gents insist that their forces are
gaining strength at a rapid rate,
and declare that the trouble be-
tween Mr.. BabcOck and the speaker
has cemented them more closely.

Under present conditions the
consideration Of the Hamilton bill

measures are no longer under con-

In the churchyard of the little Mid
dlesex village Of Plnner, England, there
stands a monument quite distinct from
all those which surround it. 1t consists
of a tall, square pyramid overgrown
with Ivy, through the middle Of which
projects a coffin made of stone. This
monument was raised by son to his
parents, William and Agnes Loudon,
as the inscriptions tell. They do no.,
however, tell why he chose to have his
parents remains poised IN mid air in
the stone shell instead OF being buried
in the usual manner. This curious act
is accounted for in q strange way.
1t appears that his parents came into
some money which was to be theirs $50
long as their bodies were above the
ground" When they died, therefore, in
order that the money should not pass
into other hands their son buried
them in this curious manner. and, de-
spite the apparent injustice, his object
was attained.

When I was examining the church
bells Of the East Riding Of Yorkshire
some years ago l came to little place
called Fordou, on the wolds between
Nation and Bridllngton. 1t was a very
primitive place, quite cut off from the
world, the few inhabitants hardly
knowing the road over the hilltop to
the next place northward. The di-
mlnu,ive building which serves as a
church is built near the brow Of the
hill. 1t has no tower, bell turret or
bell cot. On inquiry found that II
had no bell. The parson came over
on horseback now and then from q
neighboring parish, tied up his horse
outside the church, opened the door,
put on his surpllcc and then walked to
the top Of the hill and cracked his whip
several times, "and then we knaws as
it's time Il gang Ii chotch," said my
informant on the spot.-London Notes

letter out Of his pocket and handing 1t

fell into a swoon. When she came
