! for the mayor. A fitting response was
made by w. III. III Fate, vice president
of the association. H. e. French read
poem written for the occasion by
Will p. Chamberlain, who was unable
to be present. The poem is given on
aEother page. Miss Reeves, of Yer
million, gave recitation, followed by
violin duet by Misses Maud Toilet
son, of Richland, and Ruth Meberg,
of Vermillion. The afternoon exer-
ciSes began about / O'Clock with a
band concert followed by the annual
address OF the president, Eli B. Wix-
son. Mr.. Wilson has been president
OF the association since its organiza-
tion seventeen years ago and his adj
dresses are always listened TO closely
and this year it was no exception. He
was followed by Master John McDon-
aid. who gave fine selection on the
violin.
Pres. Wilson then introduced Ex- SEN
ator r. f. Pettigrew as the chief speak
er of the day, A fair audience listened
to him, but the majority all around
more interested in visiting than in
listening to his remarks, This was
largely due to the fact that his talk
was entirely political and varied in
no essential pa rticular from his speech
es OF ten or twelve years ago. He
recognized that on an occasion like
this politics should be ignored, but
excused himself with the claim that
he was discussing economic and not
political questions. This does not
prevent economic questions from be-
coming political issues and he forth
with proceeded TO introduce them to a
political treatment of his own brand
Government ownership and control of
railroads, banks, telephone, telegraph
aud other public utilities. even of the
lumber business and other monopolies,
was his cure.all, making thus every
economic interest q political issue.
The speech was filled with misstate-
ments and exaggerations such as
that his hearers were paying taxes on
one half their valuation and the rail
roads on one tenth. Mr.. Pettigrew
abused the courtesy Of the Association
in using the occasion to bring himself
and his peculiar views and aspirations
into prominence. We think all will
agree with us that in this procedure
he made no convrets or friends andsone
who hitherto have been favorably dis
posed towards him were wearied and
disguised with his harangue.
Miss Abbie Rome closed the exer
cises by delivering a recitation.
The committee on program are to-
be commended for the excellence or

FoNTYN TRIED TO
 WHIP HIS EMPLOYER.

Aleck Fontyn is French cook. He has been chef at the Lafayette house in Upper Brewery Gulch. Fontyn is good cook, but his employer, P. Mari cite, had views at variance with those of his, as to how the kitchen should be conducted. The result was war of words between the two, whereupon Fontyn rushed upon Mariette with the avowed intention of annihilating him. Mariette succeeded in escaping from the wrath of Fontyn and wound up Tn the court of Justice of the Peace Mur- phy, where he swore to warrant for the arrest of his assailant. As re- suit, Fontyn now languishes in :he bastile and this morning at s:30 o'clock, will answer to the charge preferred against him, and show cause, if any he has, why sentence should not be passed upon him.
