BOLD ROBBERY IN A
BUTTE, MONT, HOTEL

Butte. Mont, July climbing up
the fire escape and forcing his way
into room 10 of the Butte hotel, one
of the most daring thieves that, has
ever come to Butte, robbed Mrs. F.
A. Fuller of Missoula of several dia-
monds and other valuables to an APP
proximate value of $25O,0OO. AL
though the robbery was committed
last Friday night it was not an
nouncel until late last night, when
Mrs. Fuller collapsed completely
from the effects of her experiences.
AS near as a be ascertained the
thief robbed Mrs. Fuller at the point
of a gun. He entered just after she
had retired for the evening and while
the hotel corridor was a scene OF
busy activity.
Don't make any noise about it,
but hand over all of your money
and your little trinkets," said the
robbers. He was completely mask
ed and Mrs. Fuller was so badly
frightened that she could give but a
scant description of the man.
In fear of her life she handed over
her possessions. After making sure
that he had not missed any article of
value the thief made good his escape
through the open window. The Full
Ter oom is located in the rear OF
the down floor of the hotel. A fire
escape vi up to the window, which
was open at the time the thief made
his entrance.
Detective Jerry Murphy was called
in on the case, and has been working
upon it since. Up to last night the
robber had not been located.
Mrs. Fuller is in a serious condi-
ton as the result Of the robbery.
Last night she was hysterical and
physicians were called to her assist
ance. Her husband is a conductor
On the Northern Pacific railway.

AS TO THE FIGHT RIOTS.

Butte News: Riots following the
tight at Reno and the awakening OF
old racial animosities is one of the
most pronounced of effect of yester-
days battle. Wide publicity is given
to every trifling disturbance.
There is a side to the trouble that
should not be overlooked. Those
who get into street brawls with neg
e are no better, probably not as
good, as the colored folk themselves.
One can figure at once that in
every instance the parties who come
into violent conflict with the blacks
are the very dregs of humanity-the
securing Of the slums.
Without having any friendliness
for the negro the fair-minded will
readily realize that no representative
of white citizens is going to take
any issue with the black man, no
natter what the cause.
There are police officers and courts
ready and willing to give the colored
man all, and probably, more than he
deserves.
The white citizen who feels heart
broken over the result Of yesterdays
hight is indeed to be pitied. A black
nan can take quite as good care Of
the title as a white and n Of the
really delightful features Of yester-
days battle is the possibility that
the next "big mill pulled off," the
white will have the pleasure Of See
lag two darkies pummeling each 9th
er for the white mans amusement.
Al for the riots. there should be
little sympathy extended to the white
who meets death or disaster arguing
with the son Of Ham.

WORDS OF COMFORT.

Denver News: Let the great white
race not be downcast. Two messages
Of consolation and promised retribu-
ton have been delivered to lift US
from u grief.
The Rev. Alexander e. Jeffries, IA
ther of one James J.. Jefries, says:
'1t is the will Of the Lord" He be-
lieves that this Christening was per-
mitted-nay, dire"ted-by the All
wise and the All-powerful, so thar
Jimmie might be led back to the sim
pie life. 1t was rather an elaborate
method for the recapture or a stray.
ed lamb and rather costly of national
time and the money OF the lambs
admirers, but in all sincerity we join
in the good old preachers hope. It
is a great comfort in time of adj
versity to place responsibility where
It cannot be denied and to be as
sured OF visible reward growing out
Of I%nscrutable purpose.
And members of Mr.. Johnson's
race in Chicago announce they in
tend to run him for alderman. That

men from another region than the
n perceived by the preachers eye
of faith. II Johnson goes into Off
cial intimacy with the wolves Of the
Chicago city government, some white
boss will get him sure-unIess he
keeps his moral shortarm jab in con-
slant training. The colored man
could duck the Jeffries fist, but he
can't sidestep forever the political
sluggers Of the Chicago ring.

M'GUFFEY

When in 1880 a young Cincinnati
publishing offered William H. Nc
Guffey $1,000 to compile a set OF
foul school readers, not even the
imagination of on H. G. Wells could
have %foreseen in the transaction the
basis of a reputation which might
eventually enshrine the compiler in
New York's hall Of fame. McGuffey
as a professor at Miami and pres,-
dent of Ohio university had more
than a local renown as an educator,
says the New York World. But is It
for his readers that the public
remembers him.
They helped to form the literary
taste of two generations of Western
schoolboys. and the length OF time
they resisted the competition Of the
new wares seductively offered to
school boards by enterprising pub
fishers. testifies to their quality. An
alert investigator of literary origins
might trace to them some Of the
sources of the Indiana school Of au.
thorship. Certainly the McGuffey
eclectic" series contained an am
cunt of good English prose and verse
which it would be difficult to
match in equal compass in modern
handbooks of literature and ''halt-
hours with books of literature and
half hours with the best authors. :
The actual work of their compila-
tior was done by w. H. McGuffey's
younger brother, Alexander, a youth
of 20 years. In an interview MT
long before his Death in 1891, Alex.
ander McGuffey said:
my brother was very busy and as
I had an abundance of time on my
hands he agreed to undertake the
work with the understanding that
the burden of it was to come upon
me, I working under his supervision.
The readers were to be published ur-
der his name in order to give them
prestige. The firm agreed to this
arrangement, SC they brought over
a great load of old school readers,
from which, as from other and high
er sources I was to make selections.
The york took all my spare time
during the winter of 1886 and half
Of 1897"
The McGuffey reads have been
improved" upon to meet more mod
ern educational demands. There is
now dialect verse for the pupil, Jas.
Whitcomb Riley, Eugene Field, sci
entific extracts, etc., but there was
much good literature in the old read
ers for parents as well as children.

$3.50, 900 WON AND LOST
IN RENO ON THE BATTLE

oAS = 14A
Reno, Nevada, July st is esti-
mated that more than quarter of a
million dollars was won and lost in
Reno alone on the outcome of to-
days fight. Betting Commissioner
Corbett announced tonight that three
wagers of $4,000 each and several
of approximately $4,000 were en-
trusted with him at the ringside to-
day by men of national prominence.
The pari mutuals paid $1,000 to
l on Johnson to win from fourteen
to nineteen rounds.
Up to 10 o'clock this morning the
betting stood steadily at 10 to 6 with
Jeffries the favorite. San Francisco
trains brought thousands from the
coast cities and the majority OF these
came prepared to bet on Jeffries. The
big poolroom vas damned until late
last night and filled up again at
sunrise today. Jeffries money was
at all times on hand, and the call
was FOR those who fancied Johnson.
to walk up and back the big black
man."
"Who wants johnson at ever mon
ey on twenty rounds? Even money
that Jeffries will win in twenty
rounds"
There were many tickets written
at these figures, but the sums we're
usually small. The big bettors ap-
parently placed their money at bet
ter odds. Late last night there was
a big commission sent in from Nat
Goodwin on Jeffries at 10 to 81
and another from Tim McGath, who
was handling several thousands dol
lars, it is said, for a pool OF San
Francisco. Most of these sums were
placed at 10 to 6k, but johnson
money was soon exhausted and the
figures dropped to 10 to 6k.
At II o'clock the betting was 2 to
l on Jeffries to win and even mon
ey on twenty rounds. At this hour
the word from the two camps was
"all's well.'
At noon the betting had gone back
to 10 to 6. When the word went
around that 2 to 1 was to be had the
Johnson money came in with a rush
and quickly forced the odds back to
where they have stood since yester-
day.
George Considine of New York bet
$4,000 on Jeffries at ouus OF 10 to
81 and announced that he had more
lat the same price. E. e. Smathers
OF New York, said that he would bet
100000 on Jeffries.
Atlantic City, N. j., July s-spor,-
ing men here wagered $4,000 ON
