SCHEDULE OF DATES
HAS BEEN ARRANGED
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES WILL
SPEAK THROUGHOUT COUNTY.

The dates and the places in Yellow
county when the voters will
have a chance to listen to the candt-
dates on the Republican ticket have
finally decided upon. It was
rather q difacult matter to make all
the dates to accommodate the resi-
dents Of the different communities but
it is thought that the present schedule
will suit everyone concerned.
Superintendent Nichols Of the
Northern Pacific notified the county
central committee yesterday that the
passenger train No. 4 would stop at
Columbus on the night Of October IA
for the convenience Of those who wish
to attend the rally at that place. Those
wishing to attend the rally in Laurel
on the night of October II can go
down at 7:30 O'Clock and return home
at 11.30 p. m. Many Republicans OF
this city will attend these meetings,
as the opportunity is given them not
to lose very much time.
The full schedule OF dates for the
county are az follows:
7 Speaking dates IN this county

DEMOCRATIC RECORD ON LABOR.
While the Democrats profess great
friendship for the laboring men, the
records do not bear out their state
ments.
They control a great many states in
the union-in which there are vast
numbers of working e In these
states the worst possible conditions
prevail-the laboring men are ground
down and there are few laws to pro-
|tect the workman from the vicious
employer.
The record Of the Bureau of Labor
shows the condition exactly. The fol-
lowing will be found to be correct. Not
only that, but the Democrats them
selves will not deny q single Statement.

Laws limiting the hours of child

enacted in 81 states. OF these "a are

states.
Thirty-dve states have placed re-
strictions upon the employment Of
children OF school age or illiterate
children, of which 26 + Republican

states.

Next to the children, the greatest
victims of abuse by inconsiderate EN-.

are women. In the United States q

HAS SERVED CITY
LONG AND WELL,

F. P. Weymouth, who is now in
charge of the city crematory, has
been longer in the service of Spo-
kane in important capacities than
any other man in the city. He
became superintendent of the city
water system in 1889 and held the
position several years until the Of
fee was finally abolished by char
ter amendment and the work
taken over by one of the city com
missioners.
After this Mr.. Weymouth was
out of office for a year and a half
or two years, until he was asked
to become member of the board
of public works by Mayor Ohm
stead some II or II years ago. Mr..
Weymouth filled the position on
the board of works, during chang
ing administrations and under diff
ferent political management, until
a little over two years ago, when
he was let out by Mayor Daffett,
a member of his own political faith.
Through all his years of public
service Mr.. Weymouth has borne
the reputation of being an honest
man. 1t is said by i. those who
know him that he retired from Of
flee poorer than when he went in.

EIGHT MEN DIE
IN COLLISION

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Dec. 90
The Great Northern freight train,
north bound, collided with
south bound work train about a
mile from Midcanyon yesterday
and as a result eight men are
dead.
The blame for the wreck has
not been placed, but it is under
stood that the freight failed to
wait at the Undercanyon switch for
the work train to pass.
Five men were injured, but it is
thought they will all recover. I'm
mediately after the collision the
caboose and piledriver on the
work train took fire and one man
may have persisted in the flames.
The dead: N. L. Headline, car
penter foreman, Faribault, Mimi,
leaves wife and family; H. G. Nor
rissey, Great Falls, single, recent
ly from Pennsylvania; Charles T..
Fuller Great Falls; Charles Peter
son, Great Falls; M. w. Beal,

to sing grand opera in the Metro
politan opera house, New York
city, and who never appeared be-
fore an audience there.
1t was the life ambition of Henry
T. Hanlin to be grand opera
singer. He was endowed with one
of the finest grand opera voices
that was ever aired for rehearsal
in the Metropolitan. But his eye
sight is defective to the extent that
he cannot see across the room with
out powerful spectacles.
When he signed with Manager
Grau for leading part in grand
opera Hanlin did not calculate on
the distance he would be from the
director of the orchestra. Until that
time he had been singing on the
stages of the continent. These are
far smaller than the immense ex-
panse of the Metropolitan. In the
new environment he was unable to
distinguish the motions of the
baton wielder without glasses.
Bitter as the disappointment was
to this ambitious young man, he set
about to make his mark in the
world of music in another direction.
He has opened a school for music
in this city.

OUT GAME
HAS HAD ENOUGH COUNCIL
MANIC HONORs-DALkE AND
MOHR WANT TO SUCCEED
THEMSELVES.

Councilman B. r. Ostrander of
the Fifth ward has again declared
his determination to not make the
race for councilman at the spring
primary. He sees nothing attrac-
tive in the position and is willing
to step aside. He says the posi-
ton of councilman is a difficult
one to fill, as it is impossible to
please everybody. There are
many things in the method of do
ing business at the city hall that
ought to be improved, but to Sc
cure the desired reform will be a
big undertaking, he thinks. Mr..
Ostrander is a believer in the COM
mission system of government.
The elimination of Mr.. Ostrapder
from the Fifth ward councilmanic
contest will leave the field to
Peter Nelson, the new man elected
for the short term created by the
a good field of competitors. The
upper section of the ward is de-
handing representation in the city
council and it is probable that
stiff fight will be made to secure
one of the republican nominees
from that locality.
In the Fourth ward r. l.. Dalke
and c. W. Mohr, the present coun-
cilmen, will again be candidates for
reelection. They will probably have
opposition but it has not yet de-
veloped any great amount of
strength.

personal cooperation. this business
of hsnevelsnce, properly and effec-
lively.
This is the plea of John d.
Rockefeller in his fourth article in
the Worlds Work for January. on
Some Random "reminiscences of
Men and Events"
Rockefeller pleads for the organ
ization of a benevolent trust. He
so names 1t and uses the capital
letters.
II is only by such a trust that
real charity can be done, he insists.
and he believes that many million
aires. who are now too busy to pay
attention to charity, and who hest
tate to give money without investi-
cation, would be delighted to join
the benevolent trust, which is
Rockefeller's dream.
Evidently Mr.. Rockefeller thinks
the trust organization is the best
method of doing business.
IF a combination is effective in
saving waste and in getting better
results he asks, why is not COM
bination far more important in phil
anthropic work."
With a benevolent trust in exist
ence, people who are reputed rich
would lose many Of their excuses
for not giving money.
1T is interesting to follow the
mental processes that some excel
lent souls go through" he says, ito
cloud their consciences, when they
consider what their duty actually
is. For instance, one man says, L
do not believe in giving money to
street beggars' / agree with him;
btu that is not a reason why one
should be exempt from doing some
thing to help the situation repre-
scented by the street beggar."
Mr. Rockefeller holds out his gen.
eral education board as a fine ex-
ample Of the benevolent trust idea
and expresses his delight that An
drew Carnegie has become a men,
Der of the board.
The benevolent trust, as Mr..
Rockefeller sees it, would do away
with haphazard principles in benev-
olence that prevail today.
There is tremendous waste of
our best material" says Rockefel-
Ter. "The best philanthropy is con-
stantly in search of the finalities-
a search for couse, an attempt to
cure evils at their source!"
Much criticism is expected by
Rockefeller for the man who seeks
causes, rather than the suffering
individual.
