Helena, Mont, Jan. 25.-The gates

20 feet wide and is made of steel

They we're not transferred to clerical

efforts of the G.. A. R. to eliminate

One great reform inaugurated by
President Roosevelt has been the
placing of young men with new ideas
at the head of affairs in many of the
departmtnts. They have proven a
decided success, coming in with re-

(By Gesree Dayi,1

Bismarck Jan. 25.-The sensation
al story which was published in the
Grand Forks Evening Press a few
days ago and which did not reach the
capital until several days later and
which charged the correspondent Of
the Evening Times with being Dem
Ocrat that his position as correspon-
dent was hard one, that his sympa-
thies were with the insurgents and
that he was making living by writ
ing for the gang, and that his judg-
ment was that If the people knew the
truth of what was taking place at Bis
marck the days of the republican par
ty were numbered, and that the cor
respondent was sending out the slush
because he was paid to do it, and
which statement was in that paper
credited to Senator Macarthur, is one
Of the rankest, coarsest, most unscru-
pulous and basest falsehoods that was
ever uttered. The author has been
branded by the correspondent in the
paper which he represents as liar
and has not had the manhood to at
tempt to dispute the proposition.
The lie lies between Macarthur and
F. e. Packard the correspondent Of
the Press. Following the publica-
ton of the story in the Press the
correspondent of the Evening Times
sent note to Macarthur in which his
attention was called to the story and
the telegram which the correspondent
had at that time sent to his paper and
asking that he set himself right If he
were misquoted in the article. His
reply was a cowardly lodging of the
responsibility as the following ex-
cerpt will show:
II acknowledge receipt of your note
handed me by the sargent-at-arms of
the senate and in reply will say that
l hope you newspaper correspondents
will not hold me responsible for get
ting your wires crossed. If you have
any bones to pick you had better con-
suit with your friend Packard"
1t is possible that Macarthur told
Packard to write the story and sign
his (McArthur's) name and thus ac-
cepted in advance the responsibility
for the string of lies which were con-
tanned in the article. 1t is sufficient
to say that there never was an inti-
nation of single sentence word or
thought such as we're quoted by Nc
Arthur uttered or single thing
which a man with as mucn honor and
integrity as cannibal could construe
or distort into such sentiments utter
ed by the correspondent to Macarthur
or to anyone else. Every statement
word sentence and thought of the
whole matter is lie concocted and
originated by mind so debased that
honor and truth could find no lodge
ment in it and uttered with deliber-
ate and Intentional purpose Of injur-
ing the character of another-a crime

TO CROSS ATLANTIC

A.sociated Press Cable to The Eve.ins
Times.
Gibraltar, Jan. 25.-Uuder orders
of the admiralty, the mammoth battle
ship Dreadnought is to sail tomor-
row on her first trip across the At
lantic. The objective point will be
Trinidad, which it is expected to reach
in about eight days after the depar-
turo from Gibraltar.
The Dreadnought will stay about
two months in West Indian waters,
devoting most of the time to gun prac-
tice. The seaworthiness of the bat
tleship will be given a thorough test
as the Atlantic season is usually at
its worst at this time of the year.
AS the arrival in the West Indian wat
ers will take place before the Amer
ican fleet has concluded its winter
maneuvers in the same vicinity the
American officers will be given an
opportunity to see for the first time the
latest marvel in naval architecture
and the most talked about battleship
afloat.
