COnradS Nay Buy Washington Home.

The Washington newspaper cor
respondents have predicted for
some time that Hon. w. G.. Con-
rad, of Montana and Virginia,
would purchase handsome home
IN Washington, and the following
article, copied from the Anaconda
Standard, lends added interest 20
the rumors. The article was ac-
companied by an excellent picture
of Miss Minnie Conrad, who is one
of the handsomest young women
who spend their summersin Clarke
county. The Standard says:
One of the winsome maidens
who came out of the West and
captured Washington society last
winter was Miss Minnie Conrad.
daughter of the millionaire capi-
talist and railroad magnate Of
Helena, Mont, W. G.. Conrad.
says a Washington correspondent.
Mr. Conrad and his two daughters.

on the pilgrimage which brought
all loyal natives of that golden
state, namely, the launching of the
powerful battle ship which bears
the name Of their commonwealth.
Miss Minnie Conrad broke the
bottle of champagne when the
Montana left her moorings. She
was pronounced one of the most
graceful and beautiful maidens
who had ever performed that
pleasant task in the famous old
shipyard.
Miss Conrad is slender. athletic.
a fearless cquestrienne and splen-
did golfer. But she fell a victim
to thrall of Washington. ard it is
more than likely that she will re-
turn here next winter and perhaps
she may persuade her father to be-
come one of the winter colony.
The Conrads occupied the hand
soonest suite of apartments at the
New Willard, last winter. The
manner of their entertaining re-
called the days when the million
aires came out of the West and
gave a - tip 10 the bell boy and q
$50 gold piece every time the waiter
brought a particularly palatable
dish. Miss Minnie and her sister
made local society take notice,
when it came to displaying gowns.
They possessed them without end,
al dainty, all becoming, all exactly
what girls of little past 20 should
wear.

HIGHEST UNWRITTEN LAW.
Natures Punishment of Every Man
Who Kills Another.

From the ST Louis p0st-Dispatch
In every such case of homicide under
the ''unwritten law" as that with which
ST. Louis began the week, the jury is
almost sure TO decide its verdict on a
single point-that the man who was
killed deserved killing
This has nothing to do with law or
evidence in such cases. but it is useless
to argue against IT,
IL IS not the real and final question in
any case where the question is of one
man killing another
The real and final question is Of what
any mans life is worth after he has
killed another man for revenge
A higher law the very highest "unwrit-
ten law" Of human life. runs against
him IN all such cases. He has by his
own act shipwreCked his own life lie
cuts himself of from the great mass Of
mankind who have not killed others He
may be acquitted by them; he may 20
among them as usual and be treated with
sympathy. but he knows and they know
that he is isolated in a class from which
be can never escape while he lives. If
others did not know IT, he would know Il
himself. and that self-knowledge would
be enough to cut him of from every hope
Of the higher development Of mind and
the higher usefulness he might otherwise
have reached.
For "A man TO kill his own higher
faculties, the better and higher part Of
his own life. IS TO iuhict on himself q
capital punishment Of higher law from
which there is no escape.
