which, in the estimation of E. 2.
Mathewson, the manager of the smell.
ter, would be about 10 per cent, or
less than 81 ,O00, 900. These statements
were brought out this morning in the
'smoke" case, which has been re.
sumed before Master.in.C hancery
Oliver I. Grain, sitting in the grand
jury room on the fourth floor of the
federal building"
The Washoe smelling plant, accord.
ing to the sworn testimony OF its man
ager, represents an outlay of 80, 500.
600. The plant is located in Deer
Lodge county, and the total assess.
ment of all classes of taxable property
in Deer Lodge county this year is only
a little over IS, ZOO, 900, according to
returns made by its public officials.
The populous and wealthy city of
Anaconda, with its large and modern
business blocks, hotels, banks and
handsome residences is in Deer Lodge
county. Scattered throughout the
county are about 1900 residents,
whose possessions in taxable property
should not be less than the average of
other Montana citizens: and the valua.
ton Of railroad property in the coun.
ty is over S640 1000. To this large list
of visible property that is subject to
taxation should be added the value Of
a big smelling plant which its manager
says is worth SO, 800, 0OO-and yet, with
all this taxable property in view, the
assessment of Deer Lodge county is
stated to be only a little over s ,OOO,.
900.
There appears to be something
wrong with the assessment of taxable
property in that part OF Montana.

After Alberta MOrunOnS.

WINNIPEG, Sept. ~. -Mounted pO-
lice are taking vigorous measures to
rid southern Alberta province OF
polygamy. The practice has been
brought into Canada by Mormous
from Utah. Several cases have been
ferreted out, and the Mormons have
been given the choice Of living with
one wife and sending the others to
Utah or being deported to the United
States. 1t is claimed that although
p%olygamy is not openly practiced by
these people, it still exists, and that
many MOrmOus favor it.

COST OF PICKING COTTON.

1t requires something like L.
100000 cotton pickers, each pick
ing 100 pounds of seed cotton on
an average for each picker and
working 100 days, to pick a 1O,-
100000 bale crop Of course,
some pick more than 100 pounds
of seed cotton and some less.
There are days when on account
of rain no cotton can be picked.
The average of 100 pounds a day
for 100 days Is not far wrong as
an estimate of the picker's work.
At 60 cents a hundred weight
the cost of picking a bale is SO
At Is cents a hundredweight the
cost is SLIPS a bale. Therefore
the cost of picking the entire crop
will range somewhere between
800, 100000 and SIP, 100000.

CRIME.

Dispatches from Centerville,
Miss, say that Tom Crompton, a
negro, was lynched near there last
week. 1t is alleged that he con-
fessed to the murder of Ely Whit
aker, q farmer.
After the murder of Whitaker
posse of men, suspecting foul
play, searched for him all
night. With this posse was the
negro Crompton. Next morning
he begged leave from the search
ers to go home, but after he had
gone the posse followed him, find
ing, it is alleged, that instead of
gong home, he had gone to the
spot where Whitaker's body lay,
and cutting off the head, arms
and legs with an AK, had dropped
them into a sink-hole near his
cabin.

against the law should suffer, but often

John H. O'Rourke, New Yorker, was
convicted OF arson four years ago and
sent to Sing Sing for eight years. He
set fire to stable for the purpose OF
collecting insurance on span OF horses
he owned. Many efforts to have him
pardoned have been made, but all
failed, Notwithstanding petitions bear
ing names of influential men, letters,
arguments, statements as to the pris-
| oner's former good character and the
distressing needs of his family To all
these Gov. Odell turned deaf ear, and
80 did Gov. Higgins. A few days ago.
Gov. Higgins found this letter in his
mail:
my Dear Governor: My papa is in
the prison at Sing Sing, and we want
him to come home so bad. My mama
had to put four of my sisters and BROTH
ers in children's home at Greenridge,
on Staten Island, and, oh how she
cries for them and papa every night,
which makes our home very unpleas-
ant. 1 am trying to help my ma by
by writing to you, for mama says you
can let pa come home to us if you
want to: and, oh want to ask you
please to let him come home to US, as
he was always good papa, and he was
always kind to ma and US,
Mama has five younger children
besides me, and she is always crying,
and I think if some kind people had not
helped her she would have died, and
then we would have been left alone.
We need pa so bad, and I am not able
to go to work yet. My little brother
Frank had his fingers and toes frozen
last winter, and he nearly lost one foot.
l hope your little girls won't lose their
papa like lost mine. Mama says that
some kind people are going to ask you
to let papa come home to us; hope
you will, as we love him ever 80 much,
and then ma won't cry any more.
II pray every night for my dear papa,
and I am going to pray every night and
morning SO that God will let you give
US our papa again. Please excuse my
writing, as 1 am only little girl ~
years old. Hoping you will answer
this, with love from US six helpless |
children, Jennie, II; Joe, II; Frank, 8
Elsie, s; Gladys, 5; Helen, 8.
Yours truly,
JENNIE O'RoURKE."
Ii you were governor what would |
you do in such a case? Yield to the |
appeal, or permit the full penalty for a !
serious offense to be executed? Would |
you be influenced in the discharge of |
a high and important duty by child's |
letter, or would you sternly stand for |
the full execution of the law? Gov. |
Higgins has issued an order to set |

then have served four years. What |
others failed to do the little girls let |
