PROMISE OF \ BRILLIANT
CAMPAIGN.

Some time ago it was reported
that the big, popular aud eloquent
Congressman from Pike, Hon.
Champ Clark, would take the stump
in the interest of the candidacy Of
Hon. David A. Ball for the
Democratic nomination for Cover
nor. This report was confirmed
last Sunday after a conference in
st. Louis between Mr.. Clark, Mr..
Ball and the latter's law partner,
and formal announcement was
made of the fact that Mr.. Clark
would in Il few days begin his
speechmaking for his long time
friend and former law associate.
There is warm attachment exist
ing between Clark and Ball which
is placed in the Damon and Py-
thias class, aud each has anecdotes
that they tell of the other of sacrl'
fees and favors bestowed that car
rs out the comparison. SO well
known is this attachment between
the two Pikers, that it is conceded
On all hands in the old Ninth that
Clark will not lose any prestige IN
his own candidacy for a return to
Congress by taking mp the fight
for Ball.
Along with this announcement
il is said that Hon. James A. Reed
OF Kansas City will take the stump
in behalf of Mr.. Cowherd's candl-
dacy, and will make the welkin
ring with eulogies of his virtues
and fitness for the high Office OF
Governor. Mr.. Reed is recognized
as one of the most effective speak
ers and campalgners in the State,
and while the romance OF life
long Damon and Pythias attach
meut may not cast its halo about
these two brilliant and popular
orators, this combination of per-
suasive eloquence will not be far
if any behind the duet performance
of Clark and Ball.
There may be q few as good

has done much to disCredit the
theories of popular government.
In the recent Minnesota case, the
laws of the State were set aside be-
cause the Supreme Court held that
the railroads were not given an OPP
portunity for proper and speedy
hearing.
This is all very well, hut as Gov
ernor Folk pointed out in recent
speech, why are the people not given
equal consideration by the Supreme
Court?
Three years ago maximum
freight rate bill was passed by the
Legislature Of Missouri, signed by
Governor Folk, and put upon the
statute books. As soon as II be-
came law, railroad attorneys saun-
tered into Judge Phillips chambers,
secured temporary injunction, and
that is the last that has ever been
heard of it.

1T is the judgment Of this court
that you be remanded to the custody
Of the sheriff of Fergus county, and
by him conveyed to the state prison
at Deer Lodge, there to be kept in
close confinement and at hard labor
for the rest of your natural life.
Stand down."
Such was the sentence given this
morning at 10 o'clock by Judge
Cheadle to Ole Nordahl who was,
last Friday night, found guilty of
numbering Martha Schleuter who, to-
gether with her mother and three
smaller sisters, was killed at their
lonely cabin on the lower Mussel-
shell river last winter.
Court Room Is Crowded.
When it came time to sentence
Nordahl this morning, the court
room was crowded to its utmost
capacity, there being many ladies
present Promptly at 10 o'clock
court was called to order and after
the reading of the minutes of the
previous day by the clerk, Judge
Cheadle addressing the prisoner, said !:

prisoner rose from his chair. De-
spite the horror Of his position, he
was comparatively cool. He held
his hat in his hands and held his gaze
directly on the court throughout the
trying ordeal.
Court: "Nordahl you have been
charged with and by a jury found
guilty of the crime of murder. Have
you anything to say why sentence
should not now be passed upon you?
Nordahl: "Your honor, | have
harmed nobody The words were
spoken slowly, in a low voice, but
distinctly to those sitting. near the
prisoner.
The court then asked Attorney
Huntoon if he had any legal reason
to interpose for not pronouncing
sentence at that time. Mr. Huntoon
replied that motion for new trial
would be made but there was moth
ing to be said at the time.
Before going to press, the Demo-
crat was unable to secure a full
stenographic report of the remarks
addressed to the prisoner by the
court but in substance they were as
follows:
"The question of your guilt has
been passed upon by the jury and is
one which the court is not obliged
to discuss. While the evidence was
circumstantial, the jury considered it
sufficient upon which to base ver-
dict of guilty.
THE law provides that only moral
certainty of guilt is required in order
to convict The jury must have this
moral certainty but absolute knowl-
edge can be had on ver-- few human
affairs.
This court has tried to give you
fair trial There is only one point
where there could be any error ana
that relates to the proof OF the
corpus deficit and the court believes
