SELECTING A JURY
Rehearing Of Mckinney Cruelty
Case Begun at
Peoria.
Defendant HAS DELUSI0NS
Friends Say She Believes Husband
Has Divorced Her and She Has
Been Ordered Beheaded.

Peoria. ILL.,, June S.-The trial of Mrs.
Mary Mckinney of Aledo, for the abuse
of her young ward. Stella Grady, began
in the circuit court this morning with
the selection of the jury which will
probably require two or three days.
Mrs Mckinney has spent the time
since coming here in seclusion at a
private house on Madison avenue In
the privacy of this house away from
the unwelcome eyes of the public and
the attorneys for the state, the woman,
with her nurse and her husband, is re-
cruiting for the long ordeal of the trial
during which she must sit in the court
room and hear the revolving evidence
which will be introduced by the state
at the very opening of the case.
Tell of Delusions.
Strange tales of the alleged insanity
of the woman come from her friends.
1t is said that she believes that she is
divorced from her husband and that he
no longer cares for her: that a wild
delusion that President Roosevelt has
ordered her behcaded, and that the
magazines of the country are filled
with denunciation of her crime con-
tinually run through her disordered
mind. On the other hand, the state
points to the calm and apparently sane
demeanor of the woman in the court
room.

T lephOne Company Has
 Franchise From Old Days

The General Alaska Telephone Com pSnY has franchise to do business tn skagway, which it's officers believe is good. It was granted by the council that was existing in the days before the city was incorporated, Whether it is valid now or rot has been disputed. It is pointed out that the council that existed then did so without legal au- shortly. On the other hand it is claim ed that its acts were not questioned by any one and that they were recognized by the incorporated city with sufficient emphasis to rat!ty them.
 Some talk has resulted from the &C., tion of the city council in determining to investi. ate the matter, and shonld it decide that the company has no. le- gal franchise to request i5 to apply for one. The city council did not take the action for the purpose Of holding up the company, but out of desire to have the relations of the city and company occupying it's streets establish ed so there can be no mistaking them.

Oh, the Tenderfoot is coming

And this wild and woolly country

And we'll all be punkin-rollers;
There will be no gatherings:
Not a cowboy on his broncho,
With his jingIing spurs. and-things

There will be no beef to kill;
Nary roundup, when the railroads
Climb up every gumbo hill.

Gets it's work in on the shacks;
Till the red-hot wind ofsummer

And the tenderfoot is wishing
That he never had been born.
He'll go back to wife's relations
With a wiser, sad regret:

Where it's either wet or dry!

enough to know that this conserva'
tism is due to Republican policies
which has brought prosperity and in
it's wake contentment. Thousands OF
men who have heretofore acted with
the Democratic party are with it no
longer. Go among your acquaintan-
ces. anywhere, and by inquiry you
will find that many Democrats voted
the Republican ticket at the last cleo
ton and now affiliate with the Repub-
lican party Why should they return
to the Democratic fold? The peace
revolution. begun with Roosevelt in
1901. is not going backward. The peo-
pie are with Roosevelt. He is doing
what Bryan promises to do. Roose-
velts successor will be Republican,

Roosevelt carried all the states in
the Union except Is, which were as

BRYAN'S CHANCES.

A blast upon Billy Bryan's buele
horn may be worth a thousand men
and he can give TIE horn a better
blasting than any other Democrat. But
can he wake the sleeping and recall
the wandering? Unless he can Bryan
will again take the tobogan. Bryan is
candidate for the presidency He
has been candidate since he discON-
cred himself. He will be SO as long
as he is able to climb where Moses
stood and view the landscape DER. He
has been in sight of the promised land
several times and, though he and his
followers may think otherwise, near
err it than he will be again. He met
defeat in 1896, again in 1900 and i'll
1904 was put aside for Judge Parker
by the very men who have seen his
star in the east and have come to
worship him. If Bryan were as cum
ming as the ducks who are doing his
quacking, he would recall the old ad
age, beware of Greeks bringing gifts
These men do not care for Bryan. He
is not their kind of man and they are
not his kind of men, but by putting
this and that together kind of spur
ious policy is created which the Amer
lean public is expected to adopt Bry
and, the radical, will be hailed as Bry

LEWISTOWN, MONT, June 30, 1906
FOR A NEW COURT HOUSE.

One of the questions that will be
submitted to the people of Fergus
county at the general election next
fall is that of building a new court
house.
AS has been shown before. the pres
ent structure is rapidly becoming iii,
lapidated inadequate to meet the
needs Of this rapidly growing county
and positively unsafe for occupancy.
The structure was hastily erected
for building We're not like they are to-
day and when the assessed valuation
of the county was small. The original
cost of the building was $l2 1000, Of
which amount the citizens of Lewis
town contributed $4,000 The cost to
the county therefore. was not heavy
and it has answered the purpose for
which it was built fairly we'll for the
money expended. But the time has
come when it should be replaced with
a modern structure and one that will
meet the demands of the county for
years to come. and be a source Of
pride to every citizen
Frequent repairs have been made
on the present building but it is inn
possible to render it safe. 1t is not
only unfit for human habitation but
unsafe for the county records, the de-
struction of which by fire would en-
tail great loss upon the county. a loss
that money could not restore
The court house in no way meets
present needs. The court room i,
small, poorly lighted and heated anc
its acoustic properties abomnable
The offices are overcrowded by The
growth of business and are not suitet
for its expeditions transaction. AS ;
matter of fact Fergus county has out
grown its present public building.
fact which every fair man will admit
This being true the only thing to dc
is to replace it with building tina
will be up-to-uate and of which the
taxpayers will not be ashamed.
For the sum of 100000 a court house
could be erected that would meet the
demands of the county for all time
and prove credit to wide
awake and progressive people, such
as We now have and will have in the
future.
In the next two or three years the
assessed valuation of property in Fer
gus county VIII be increased by fully
100000 if not more. The railroads
building through the county will add
100000 to the taxable wealth.
The building could be erected with
out any increase in taxation and by
the time the bonds become due the
county will have treble-i in wealth so
there is no burden of expense to stand
in the way of a pressing need.
This is a question that concerns all
of the people Of the county and should
be freely discussed. Nearly everyone
will admit the need of a new court
house, and if they will look at the
matter from a business point Of vew
they VIII admit the folly of building
something cheap. It does not pay il
the end.
