occurred near Jacksonville recently,
when a lone highwayman held up the

ture, until the measures are filed by
the governor, in, round numbers the
legislators have appropriated $3,725,-

MONTANA LIENS.

The passage of the railroad commits
sion bill, known as the Shaw-Tudor
Weed bill, by the Tenth legislative as
sembly of this state is said to be the
most important measure to come be-
fore the people of the state, not only
during the present session, but for
many years. Governor Toole allowed
the bill to become a law without his
name.
A shutdown of the Amalgamated
copper mines will affect about 10000
workmen in the state and precipitate
an industrial crisis in Butte the effect

Owing to the fact that a bill has
passed the house of congress and will

Down Bank.

Pittsburg-Fifty-fou passengers
and a train crew of about a dozen
we're injured in the wreck of the
Pennsylvania Special, the 1S hour
train between New York and Chica-
go, which occurred at a sharp curve

gers have been accounted for The
engine and combination smoking car
remained upon the rails, but the three
Pullmans plunged over so foot en-
bankment into the Conemaugh river.
Fortunately the cars were not sub
merged. A scene of wild confusion
ensued. All of the passengers were
in their berths and were thrown
promiscuously around the cars. All
the passengers on the train were in
jured more or less, but with the ex-
ception of John P. Kline of Chicago
it is said, none of the injured are dan
gerously hurt. The train was run
ming 45 minutes late and trying to
make I'D time. Nobody seems to know
what really caused the accident, but
it is supposed it was caused by the
springing of bolt connecting one OF
the rails to the steel tie. The in
jured we're taken to Altoona, Greens
burg and this oity. A majority OF
them, however, proceeded west on
a special train. The train was the
finest on the Pennsylvania and many
prominent passengers were aboard
Following the wreck great disorder
prevailed. A special train bearing the

for the west before noon. Most Of
the passengers lost their clothing

from ward four and is now serving
a second term as Parish Treasurer.
He has proven himself to be a

of his dealings as a man and an
officer. He has the same right
that every American citizen has
of aspiring to fill an Office. and
we feel satisfied that should Mr..

THE BLACK HAND" MENACE.

The deeds of the Malta" and
the "Black Hand" demonstrate
how undesirable are this class Of
emigran;s to America. Their
deeds disclose spirit of murder
assassination and hideous crimes
that are unspeakably brutal and
startling to the higher Anglo,
Saxon civilization.
Yet undesirable classes are
yearly pouring into the domains
of free America from the Old
World. If not checked, they
will overrun this land as did the
vandal hordes of Europe the fair
domains of SPAN. Sicilians. Turks,
Syrians. Poles. Italians all of the
lower classes. throng to the shores
of America under the idea tina:
liberty means unbridled license.
An influx of undesirable Chinese
and Japanese coolies threaten the
country with their presence.
To the foreign element is largely
traced moboracy. murder, assas-
sination. cowardly deeds of ven
geance and kidnapping. The time
is not far distant when the incen-
sed American people will demand
the enactment and rigid enforce
ment of iron clad exclusion laws.
In this respect their slogan will be
America for Americans and those
industrious classes of foreign
countries who male reliable and
patriotic citizens. There are tens
of thousands of such who are law
abiding. intelligent and industrious
residents. But the vicious and
brutal elements of foreign coun-
tries are not wanted.
As the years pass by and such
startling crimes as the Henessey
murder and the Lamana abduction
horrify and arouse the public
mind toa frenzy for vengeance.
the emphasis becomes more pot
ent for sure and effective remedy
for these evils. This question IS
= vital one and will not down until
some specific cure IS furnished for
the foul putrescence.
