MONTANA ITEMS.

The matter of the selection of new
president of the University of Mon
tana to succeed Oscar ]. Craig will not
be disposed of until the meeting of the
board of education in June.
The discovery of letter among the
papers in the coat of G. M. Hayden,
who attempted to murder his wife and
then commit suicide, the affair taking
place in the center of Missoulas bust
ness district, has proved beyond any
doubt that the man had coolly planned
the deed and it was only on account
of poor craftsmanship that his wife
was not instantly killed and also by
the merest accident that he did not
succeed in shooting himself, his arm
being knocked upward by the man &C.
companying Mrs. Hayden to her room
before the latter turned and ran down
an alley to save himself. The bullet
passed through Hayden's hat, who
then swallowed morphine, intending
to carry out his purpose, but failed.
John Webb, we'll known business
man of Butte, must serve five days in

$500 as q penalty for contempt of

George M. Bourquin. Webb was
found guilty of jury tampering in the
case against G. M. Boucher, another

Leaving a note that the till had been
robbed and that he was going after
the robber, and that either the robber
would get him or he would get the
robber, Edward Bernhard, well
known bartender, left a saloon of
Billings the other night. Early next
morning Bernhardt's corpse was found
beside fence close to the saloon with
a big Colts six-shooter between his
knees, one cartridge of which had
been fired.
Detective "Swede" Murphy, one of
the best known officers in Montana
and the northwest, was shot twice Sat
urday evening and seriously wounded.
Murphy had been called to the Nissler
residence in Butte to quiet two men
who were quarreling over a woman
cook at the Nissler home. While Muir

of the belligerents, he turned suddenly
and without warning fired upon the
detective, shooting him through the

QUITS IN WRESTLING MATCH !

Man.

Hackenschmidt Says Gotch Is the Best
Man.
Frank Gotch is now the wrestling
champion of the world At Chicago,
Friday night the Russian lion, Hack
enschmidt, quit cold and after one hour
and As minutes of wrestling, during
which there had been no falls, and, in
fact, but little work on the mat save
from a standing position. Gotch hurled
the big Russian to the mat, but could
not throw him, and then picked him
up and again sent him hurting to
the floor, when, to the surprise of all,
Hackenschmidt turned to Gotch with
the words, I'm give you the match"
All through the bout, which was
rather uninteresting, Gotch appeared
to be the cleverer and better man, but
the windup came as an utter surprise.
Hackenschmidt absolutely refused to
discuss the matter, and his seconds
were at loss to account for 1t.
Frank Gotch, who defeated George
Hackenschmidt, the Russian lion," for
the worlds wrestling championship,
next day felt little effects of the two
hours match. He arose early and
took long walk with Farmer Burns,
who acted as one of his seconds. II
am not fatigued," he said, "and was
not tired when the battle ended. I
could have gone on for hours. I would
be willing to meet Hackenschmidt to-
night. If he desires it, l will give
him return match any time he wants
it. Next time I will put him on his
back"
Speaking of the new champion,
Hackenschmidt said
There is no man in all England
who has a chance with your man
Gotch. He is king of his class, the
greatest man by far that 1 ever have
met. After going nearly two hours
with him my muscles became stale.
My feet also gave way on me. had
trained so constantly against the toe
hold that l had strained the muscles
of my legs. When 1 found myself
weakening knew there was no use
continuing. This was the reason l
conceded the match to him. A re-
turn match would not win back nv
championship"
Hackenschmidt is of the conviction
that Gotch was oiled in some way
when he first touched him. Gotch
laughed at the idea that he was oiled
and said that he purposely did little or
no training for several days to develop
the excessive Precipitation he showed
in the ring. This, he said, made him
slippery.

Sweeping Cloture Rule.

BY adopting sweeping cloture rule
in the house the republicans left to the
democrats very little power. No longer
can a filibuster be conducted against
sending to conference bills with SEN
ate amendments; nor can the motion
to close debate be amended or dis
cussed, and no longer can motion
to adjourn take precedence over a mo-
ton to take a recess. In presenting
the rule, Mr.. Dalzell characterized the
democratic filibuster of the last few
days as ''asinine, idiotic and disgrace
to men,"

BRITISH
PREMIER
HAS RESIGNED ON AC-
COUNT OF SICKNESS.
HERBERT n. AsQUiTH APPOINT
ED IN HIS sTEAD-BRlTIsH
CABINET RESIGNS

London, April 6.-Great Britain is
tonight In a peculiar condition-no
ministry. The long-expected resigna-
ton of Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man as prime minister was officially
announced. According to the court
circular, he resigned on the urgent
recommendation of his medical advis-
ers AS the constitution OF the coun-
try provides no automatic successor,
1t resting with the king to choose
new head of the government, and in
accordance with custom and prece.
dent the whole cabinet resigns with
the premier, no step to appoint min
istry can be taken until Herbert H.
Asquith, chancellor for the exchequer,
who has been summoned to Biarritz
for the purpose, has seen the king.
The position of the country is quite
unprecedented, there being no previous
example of a resignation occurring in
the premiership while the sovereign
was abroad. On this account the
course of procedure to be followed is
in some doubt
Sir Henry No Better.
Sir Henry's condition remains un-
changed, according to the physicians
bulletin. The king, in telegraphing his
cceptance of the premiers resignation
conveyed an expression of his regret
and esteem, with best wishes for Sir
Henry's recovery.
Today has been fixed for Mr.. Asuuith
to move in the house of commons the
second reading of the licensing BILL the
measure that is regarded as the most
dangerous of all the government bills
vital to the ministrys tenure of office.
Under the changed conditions, this de-
bate will probably be postponed to en-
able the chancellor to proceed to Biar-
ritz to kiss the kings hands on his ap-
pointment as premier and submit his
proposals for the reconstruction of the
cabinet 1t may be inferred that no
more contentious business will come
before the house until the new minis
tiers are appointed.
New Lineup Of Cabinet.
1t is regarded now as practically Ger.
ain that David Lloyd George, president
of the board of trade, will succeed Mr..
Asquith as chancellor, and that Sir
Edward Grey will retain his portfolio
as foreign secretary.
Among the interesting predictions is
that Winston Spencer Churchill, under
secretary for the colonies, will take
the place of the Earl OF Elgin as colon
ial secretary, and that Lord Tweed
mouth, first lord of the admiralty, will
withdraw in order to accept some other
Office.
Asquith Is Popular.
Mr.. Asquith's succession to the pre-
miership will be well received by all
sections of his party, with the possible
exception of the extreme radical and
labor men, who are inclined to see in
his imperialistic views the end of some
of their aspirations for socialistic re-
forms. Similar feelings are likely to
prevail in the Irish benches, where he
is not regarded as sure friend of
home rule in any degree beyond giving
Ireland control of her merely local

ONE SOLDER DEAD

A fair young mother calmly read,
While one hand rocked the Grade bed
Wherein her frstborn slept away
The twilight of a summer day.
She carelessly the paper turned
TIL --latest War News" she discerned ];
Our loss was small dispatches
said
"a skirmish, and one soldier dead"
They troubled not to give his name,
Or cen the troop from which he
came;
For who, rejoicing in success,
Cares if there be one private less?
Only a soldier lying there,
With blool upon his sunny hair,
With no kind friend TO raise his head
Or treasure the last words he said.
o happy mother, DO you know
That not so many years ago
That solder was a baby, too,
With face as sweet, and eyes as blue
As those within yon cradle there,
And knew a mothers tender care,
Who now must sit alone and weep
Because he wakes not from his sleep?
And other thousands also said:
"Only a private soldier dead
Without a passing thought that he
Might one of natures mobiles be,
Or that the words that line contained
Would wreck life that yet remained.
His mother waits for him in vain,
For he, her only child, is slain.

FIGHTING THE GREAT PLAGUE.

Many of the past sins of Pennsylva-
MAS legislators may nov be forgotten
because of the liberal appropriation
recently made for the care of tuber
cula- patients The Keystone state
has undertaken TO combat the great
white plague : a scientific way. The
sum of se,000.t D has been designated
for the erection of a sanitarium
There the most skillful medical as
sistance will be furnished the sick.
The location is an admirable one, in
the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains,
in the southeastern part of the state.
Already workmen are busy construct
ing dormitories. The unit Of the
chain Of buildings is a frame cottage
where there is room for eighty pa
tients, the beds so arranged that the
occupants may catch every breath of
fresh air that comes along. In stormy
weather, of course, they will oe pro-
cected. Immense pavilions also will
accommodate the afflicted,
1t is planned to give the sanitarium
accommodations for 5000 sick within
the next two years. When that is
done the institution will be the largest
of is kind in this country. The poor
of the cities are to be sent there at
the states expense and kept until
they recover or die. From year to

EGYPTIAN "soUL HOUSES
They Were Buried Under the Sand
for 5000 Years.

Dering last winter many pottery
models OF houses were brought to
hght N upper Egypt, says the New
York Tribune. They came from 2
large cemetery near Rifeh, in the Nile
valley. and belonged to the ninth or
twelfth dynasties, which would be
about 500 to $500 B. {.
The models were on the foot plain

accumulated by wash from the desert
hills during rare storm bursts. So ex-
ceedingly rare were these storm
bursts that they probably occurred
only once in a generation. In 5000
years about twenty-five inches Of
gravel had accumulated at the rate Of
about half an inch each century.
Explorers on cutting through these
twenty-five inches discovered hun.

Inc pottery model houses. The mod
els are believed o have been placed
on the graves TO provide shelter for
the souls when they came out in
search of sustenance.
These early models, being much ex-
posed, are seldom perfect. Their orr.
gin is in the tray of offerings, which,
however, were felt to be insufficient
for soul coming up from the earth
below, SO a shelter for the soal was
accordingly built, apparently copied
from the Bedouin tent,
Later a small hut, in shape like a
sentry box, was provided, sometimes
containing a chair; then a portico
was added, a raised cope put around
the rooi and a canopy and shelter
from the sun added above the water
tank, which had from very early
times been part of the offerings.
In time whole upper story was
added, with yeranda along the back
of the roof. and wind openings, and
then furniture began to be added. In
the latest models of soul shelters
there is n couch in the front portico,
TO get the coolest air at night low
down. There is, too, a chair on the
upper floor to avoid the dust and hot
air from the ground during the day.
In some models there is also a stool,
and beneath the staircase leading to
the upper story woman making
bread. with large water jar by her
side. The offerings are placed
against the wall between two door,
ways. There is considerable varia
