Thief CAUGHT
IN RAT TRAP
Comes TO Grief While LOOting
Trenton Home.

Jason Meany. who comes from Chi
cago, says that he is the original hard
luck thief. He faces a prison sen
tence at Trenton, n. j., all because he
put his hand in rat trap
While looting the home of Mrs. Jul.
fan Voorhees,, Meany dropped a dia.
mond ring which rolled under a stove.
While cropping for the diamond in the
dark he put his hand into a rat trap.
There was a sudden snap and the
burglar screamed in pain. Three OF his
fingers were broken. So great was his
suffering that he made no attempt to
escape.
According to Meany, his first ex-
perience in burglary was in Chicago
three years ago. He was trembling,
and in order to steady himself leaned
against a piano. Several keys sounded
and before he could fee he was con
fronted by a woman who held a re
volyer in her hand.

Two years ago the Republican can

Republican on the county ticket

John D. Rockefeller has completed
the task he set for himself in the
founding of the University OF Chicago.
Public announcement was made Of
Single and final gift" of sl0,0OO,OO0.
which includes all the contributions
that Mr. Rockefeller had planned to
make to the university This sum
which is to be paid in ten annual in
EtallmeHts, beginning Jan. /, will make
a total OF approximately S35.000.00O
that Mr.. Rockefeller has donated to
the university.
Mr. Rockefeller says he now be
Iieves the school should be supported
and enlarged by the gifts of many
rather than by those of a single donor
This he believes will be better accom-.
plished If the public understands the
limit of his contemplated assistance
The founding of new departments he
leaves to the trustees, as he says
funds may be furnished by other
friends Of the university.
Up to the present time nearly ST.
100000 has been donated to the uni
versity in addition to Mr.. Rockefeller's
gifts.
With the announcement OF Mr.
Rockefeller's final donation came the
resignation Of John d. Rockefeller, Jr
and Fred T. Gates, Mr.. Rockefeller's
personal representative, from the uni.
versity board OF trustees.
In enclosing these designations, Mr.
Rockefeller explained that he was only
carrying out a conviction that the in
stitution should be controlled, con.
Quoted and supported by the people
with whom up to this date he had
been simply cooperating.
Mr. ROckefellers idea, sc It is un.
derstOOd, is that he is turning over
the institution and its endowment to
Chicago and the west, and in doing so
withdraws from any further represen.
tRtiOn in its control.
The official announcement of the
benefactiOn was made at the quarterly
convocation at the university. Presi.

Of trustees, read a letter from Mr..

WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS
Physician's Method May Have Been
All Right, but Here He Was
at Fault.

We are told that the latest nsa
ton in the medical world is the asser-
ton of a doctor that he is able, by
looking into a patients eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient is suff ering. But is
this really as novel as it is supposed
to be? l recollect hearing some time
ago of a doctor who said to a patient
who was under examination: Il can
see by the appearance OF your right
eye what is the matter with you. You
are suffering from liver"

NEWS OF MONTANA
Important Happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.

Police and Fire Departments May
Be Reduced.

Anaconda.-A special meeting of the

who recommended retrenchments In
the handling of city affairs still fur
Their than has been done by the council
during the past year and a half. Mayor
Gangner appointed the committee, con-
sisting of eleven business men, to
advise with the city council, and the
report was read suggesting a reduction
In the police force and the fire depart
ment and other retrenchments.
Mayor Gangner stated that he is
willing to abide by the decision Of the
committee, which is in a way an ar
bitrator Of the dispute between S. E.
j. Bowman of The Daily Bank and Trust
company and the administration of the
decision to make. Mayor Gangner
called the attention of the aldermen,
however, to the savings already ef-
fected and expressed the opinion that
1t would be unwise to further reduce
the police protection or to cripple the
fire department by cutting the force
to five men, as recommended.
Each fireman is entitled by law to one
day out of each week and they have
to leave in turn at meal hours, which
would at certain times leave but two
men on duty.

MINE YIELDS DIAMONDS.

Sapphircs and Rubies in Placer Ground
Near PhiIipsburg.

Helena.-Rich diggings have been
opened at Rock creek, near Philips
burg. The ground is a placer, but thus
far it has not produced any gold. Dia-
monds, sapphires and rubics are being
mined in q claim owned by Single G.
Waters. Most Of this season was con-
sumed in getting the ground opened
and in building reservoirs and bitches.
From twelve feet Of bedrock cleaned up,
about two gallons of sapphires and a
small quantity Of rubies and diamonds
were found, the value of which far ex-
ceeds the cost of getting the diggings
in shape for actual mining.
In addition to precious stones the
gravel carries gold, but this season no
cleanup for gold was made. Most of
the sapphires are of a good size and
of a high quality and will demand a
good price.
While the diamonds found so far are
small, their presence in the pay streak
is sufficient to justify the expectations
of finding larger ones as the work
progresses.
Kendall District Reports Good.
Splendid reports continue to eminate
from the Kendall district of Fergus
county. The Kendall mine is working
120 men and is producing it's usual
amount of bullion each month. The
mine has paid dividends of $1,250,0 900
on a capitalization Of $4,000, 900. The
Barnes-King is again in active opera
ton and the promise is that it win
again join the dividend class. Large
ore bodies have been opened and one
has a very rich streak. These two
mines are reducing about six hundred
tons a day.
From Marysville. this county, comes
the report of striking 5 1000 gold ore
