middle of next week a delegation
of the chief magnates and officers
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.

in the first train to be run over
portion of the road. They will
arrive in Butte Tuesday, and after
an inspection Of the terminals
there will go on to Spokane and
Seattle over the Northern Pacific.
1t is quite likely that the question
of Spokane terminal will be con-
sidered when the magnates are
here, as it is known that the Mil
waukee wants to enter this city.
The mode of entrance and ter
minal facilities are said to be as
yet unsettled, or If a selection has
been made, the ratification of such
matters may be considered.
The st. Paul Is essentially a
Standard Oil corporation, and Will
liam Rockefeller, brother of the
famous John D., it is said, will
head the st. Paul party on the
Pacific inspection tour. Other
members of the party are Roswell
Miller, chairman of the board of
directors of the st. Paul. the high
est official of the road; President
A. ]. Earling and George r. Peck
of Chicago, general counsel and
head of the legal department; Gen

DOUBLE DOSE
FOR GAMBLING

Not only is Ed Sullivan, banker
of a poker game raided by the po-
lice in the 4U saloon last night, to
be tried for gambling under the
city ordinance prohibiting it, but
he is also to be tried under the
state law which provides imprison-
ment not less than one year. Dep
uty Prosecutor Pugh and Sergeant
Sullivan reviewed the evidence in
the case this afternoon and decided
it was sufficient to convict Sulli-
van.
Under a late construction of the
law the proprietor of the saloon
in which the game was conducted
is also guilty and his arrest will
probably be made tonight.

ing that the last congress had cost
the country $1,000,0 100000, an in

he gave was that the republican
party is more intimately associated
with taxeaters than taxpayers. He
said the republicans have also
been representing taxation as a

Bryan also attacked the ROose-

POLICE HEAR CRY
FROM MACEDONIA

That the fame of the Spokane
police department has spread was
certified this morning. The police
themselves always claimed the de-
partment's fame reached to the
ends of the earth, but hadn't pro-
duced the evidence. Captain
James Coverly this morning has
on exhibition a letter from Scotia,
Wash. Although Scotia is by no
means at the ends of the earth, it
might just as well be, it's so sell
dom heard mentioned. The Great
Northern officials say that it is a
town atop of the range near New
port. 1t Is a cluster of houses.
The principal places of business
are a combined saloon and barber
shop.
The letter asks the Spokane pQ-
lice department to come over and
help put down rum, not in the
common sense of guzzling it down
deep into the gizzard, but to elm
mate it's sale on Sunday. The in
formant declares that the Scotia
inhabitants (there are severaD are
supposed to take rest from the
arduous labors of rum drinking on
Sundays, but, despite the evident
will of the great mass of the com
mon people, the saloon and barber
shop do more business on Sundays,
peddling firewater and snakebite,
than at any other time.

BROWNS WHILE
DRINKING

Little did Nellie Smith, age 10,
the beautiful daughter of farmer
near RosaIia, realize early this
morning when she went to the
spring for drink of the cool, fresh
water, that it was to be her last.
While drinking she fell into the
spring in the throes of an epiIeptic
fit and was drowned. When Mrs.
Smith noticed the prolonged abb
sence of the girl she called, but
Nellie did not respond. Then the
mother went to the spring and
