day that report on the seal fisher

casts serious reflections on Vice Pres
ideent Fairbanks, almost caused 4
panic in that grave and serious body.

executive session. and the report was
recalled, but number of copies had
already been distributed.
The document was printed on mo-
tion of Senator Foraker, who. like
Fairbanks, is presidential candi-
date. 1t was a report by Henry w.
Elliott of Lakewood. Ohio, and pur-
ported to be history of the efforts
by this country to protect the seal
herds on Prybilov island Elliott
has for many years been very per-
sistent in trying to get congress to
act in his comments on those who
have not agreed with him. He abused
the late James G. Blaine and John
Hay, and in the report issued as q
senate document he said that Fair,
banks: when member of the for
eign relations committee, made state
ments which were untrue in every
respect, square and wholesale fab
rication on his part, to defeat the

full of.irewater '.ahbok," which means

We over on MINNESOTA avenue, in Bill

Jail as quick as could be hurried there
by Officer Ed. Ross.
Chester was very meek and docile
when he arrived at the police station
and he submitted to a thorough search
but neither booze or money could be
found on him. OF coures he had the
booze but it was all on the inside.
Chester Bad-Boy will explain to
Judge Mann this morning, il an inter-
prefer can be secured, but it may not
be necessary.
Bad-Boy stands six feet two in his
moccasins, and would be in the heavy
weight class should he enter the prize

friends and his sole ambition seems
TO be to get enough money to purchase
outright a tremendous jag which he
does as often as'he can get wealth in

BILLINGS ENJOYING
GOOD HOLIDAY TRADE
ADDITIONAL CLERKS ADDED in
MANY STORES.

WEM#hEM |Ws ru E&5IGIH
From Wednesdays Daily.
The holiday rush has started and 9
personal visitation to many Of the bic
stores Of Billings shows that the trade
is exceeding the expectations Of the
merchants.
a fact worth mentioning is that
most Of the business done is for cash
and money is plenty among the buy
ing public. The holiday business this
year promises to exceed that Of any
year in the history of the city.
Many of the stores have employed
extra clerks and those that have not
are rushed so badly that 1t will be
but a question of a few days until
every business house in the city will
have on an extra force to meet the
requirements of their trade.
Il feel very optimistic over the out
look for the holiday season." said the
manager Of one of the big Billings
stores yesterday. Il added several ex-
ira clerks and from the looks of things
| will have to put on still another ex-
ira force when the real rush starts.
"a feature of the business done is
that most Of it is for cash, and we
have done less credit business and a
greater cash trade this year than for
any time within my memory. I real.
" did not look for such a big increase
in business for the holiday season."
