REPORT Of SECRETARY
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
REAL AID RENDERED BY THE OR.
GANiZATION DURING THE
LAST FEW MONTHS.

At recent meeting of the AS
sociated Charities the secretary's re-
port showed that considerable work
had been done toward the relief OF
needy families during the past year.
Clothing was distributed in several
cases, but much more could have
been done in this line had there been
a place in which the clothing could be
kept. This need has finally been met
through Mr.. Geo. M. Stone, who has
very generously donated the use OF
a room with stove, at the rear OF
Aliens garage, opposite to the Pres
byterian church, and it will now be
possible to handle any amount OF
clothing sent in.
The association gave coal aggre-
eating $41O0 and groceries amount
ing to $840. Ten or more families
have received aid, while several 9th
ers have been assisted in finding EN-
ployment. There seems to have been
a good many out Of employment and
consequently in need. There are peo-
pie in need Of clothing, which the as
sociation would be glad to supply, and
any one having anything to give Is
urgently requested to send the same
to the room on Friday afternoon OF
this week.

BATTlESH,P MAINE AELOAT.
War Vessel Sunk by Treacherous
Spaniards Brought to Surface.

HAVANA, Feb. 1.-THE wreck of
the Maine flOated free from the mud
tonight, when the water was turned
into the dam surrounding the wreck.
The water within the dam is about Ia
feet below the harbor level at low
tide.
1t is the intention to admit the wa
ter more rapidly tomorrow SO that by
nightfall the wreck will be raised to
the harbor level, leaving nothing more
to be done except to break the dam
and float out the ship.
Water was forced into the dam
through a system of pipes fixed at the
bottom Of the ship, the power being
supplied by a pump that had been re-
covered from the wreck. The ship be-
gan to rise Immediately. No leaks of
any importance have been discovered
The ship will remain within the
dam until orders are received from
Washington to float her out, which can
be done within fortnight.

OVER HALF TON OF
SAPPH|RES SHIPPED
NEW MINES COMPANY, OF YOGo
DISTRICT, STARTS PRECIOUS
CARGO ABROAD.

Last Friday afternoon four boxes
of sapphires, weighing 1922 pounds,
were shipped from this place. They
were from the mines above Utica and
were consigned to the New Mines
Sapphire Syndicate, London, England,
who have been working this property
for number of years.
Stones in the rough from this mine
are never sold in this country, but
are all sent to England, where they
are cut, and then brought back to
New York and placed on sale. The
American mine, however, sell all
their stones in this country. Both
mines are in what is known as the
Yogo district and the sapphires found
in this district are equal, if not SUI
perior, to any found in the world, and
command top prices everywhere.
The last shipment made by the
English company was in August, when
they sent 16 boxes of the precious
stones across the water. It is under
stood they are insured heavily from
the time they leave the mines until
they reach London.

STRIKERS LOSE MUCH MONEY.
Massachusetts Mill Operatives Are
Shy One Million Dollars in Wages.

massachusetts Mill operatives Are
Shy One Million Dollars in Wages.
Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 1.-Today,
which marked the beginning of an
other month in the strike of more
than 10000 mill operatives for an in
crease in wages, was one of general
activity. The Central Labor Union
officials drew up the demands which
are to be made upon agents Of each
mill, while leaders of the l. w. w.
spoke at several meetings, urging
solidarity among the strikers.
1t is estimated that the financial
loss due to the strike, major portion
OF which falls upon the strikers, has
approached the $1,0O0,OOO mark.
The mills are said to have protected
themselves against heavy loss by hav-
ing their work performed elsewhere.
Some mill officials say that 10000 op-
eratives are at work, but the military
observers say only 700 or 800 hands
go in usually, where 5000 are en-
ployed.
Leaders OF the Industrial Workers
Of the World say the strike Is the be.
ginning OF an industrial revolution.
Members of the Loom Fixers union
employed in the Arlington mills have
voted to return to work.

Although it is yet six weeks before
the date OF the annual municipal cleo
tion, April l, some interest is being
taken in that subject and some spec
ulation being engaged in as to the
probable lineup. 1t is generally as
sumed that the citizens ticket idea
will be adhered to insofar as the dem
ocrats and republicans are concerned.
The socialists will doubtless have a
full ticket in the field as usual

The terms of Aldermen Brice, Tray
wick and Sutter. of the First, Second
and Third wards, respectively, will ex-
pire this year and their successors
must be chosen. All three Of these
gentlemen have had an ample sur
ficiency of the job, all are anxious to
retire, all say that they are going to
do so.
Hold Public Meetings.
Chief interest in the Forthcoming
election naturally centers in the Sec
ond ward, where Joseph Heaney, a
socialist, was elected last year. The
socialists will naturally try to repeat
and the other parties will do their
best to prevent them from doing SO.
The alderman from the Second ward
is going to have unusual responsible
ties thrust upon him during the next
year, as numerous public improve
ments are contemplated for that sec
ton of the city, and the members OF
the city council from the east side
are naturally expected to look after
the worn of that nature. No sue
cessor to Joseph Heaney, resigned
has yet been chosen. Alderman Mar
vim Iraywick may be prevailed upon
to accept denomination. He has
shown himself to be capable OF
fetal. 1t has been suggested that the
voters of that ward hold public meet
ing sometime toward the first q
March for the purpose of talking over
the subject of selecting an aldermanit
candidate. 1t is desired if possible
to eliminate politics and get a mar
who will work effectively for the wei
fare of the city. The same methot
will likely be pursued in the othel
two wards.
Registration Slight.
Up to noon today there were 1915
names on the great register in the of
fee of County Clerk Cunningham. O
this number, 2O8 are registered from
the First ward; 189 from the Secont
and 161 from the Third, or 558 from
the three Lewistown precincts. 1t !!
estimated that there are fully eigh
hundred qualified voters within thu
city limits, so there are more thar
two hundred yet to register. The
registration books close for the city
elections on March 20.

Wants It Again.

Billings, Feb. S.-State Superintend-
ent of Education Harmon announced,
in conversation with a representative
of the Press here today, that he will
again be candidate for nomination
for the same position.
II have held the office two terms"
he said, "and fully intended to step
down and out at the end of the pres
ent term. Recently, however, a large
number of friends in all parts of Mon
tana have urged me to be candidate
again, and l have decided to submit
my name to the convention.
Questioned regarding a successor of
President Duniway, of the State uni
versity, Mr.. Harmon said he had no
idea whom the board would choose at
the June meeting. He said there is an
unusually large number of applications
from all parts OF the country, and that
many aspirants don't possess the nec-
essary qualifications. but he believed
good man would be found.

Ing. it is declared in the call, is to
form a statewide progressive league.
One paragraph reads:
In some counties of the state,
Roosevelt clubs have already been or
ganized, in others La Toilette clubs
have been organized. This conference
does not stand for any particular man
for president, but rather for pro-
gressive republican principles. This
movement is bigger than any one man.
It is desired to have as many pro-

the state present at this conference
as possible, regardless of what man
they stand for for president"

BUSINESS MEN ENJOY
SUCCESSFUL LUNCHEON
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED "LlVE
WIRES" PRESENT LAST FRI
DAY AFTERNOON.

Nearly one hundred business men
of Lewistown we're present Friday
afternoon at another Of the luncheons
which are now being held occasionally
under the auspices of the Lewistown
Commercial club. In addition to local
business men, there were a number
of visitors present, and, at the con-
clusion of the meeting, a number OF
these visitors expressed admiration
of the plan thus adopted for getting
the men Of Lewistown together and
tersely discussing topics of immediate
interest.
Tom Stout acted as toastmaster. In
his opening remarks, he urged CO.
operation and unity of action among
the business and other interests Of
the city. While commenting the spirit
which moves the residents of any par
ticular section of the city to organize
for the Identification of their particu-
lar neighborhOod, he expressed the
sentiment that, in essential things.
all shall continue to be united for the
advancement of the city as a whole.
Rudolf Won Tobel was introduced as
the first speaker and delivered a
short but clear-cut talk on the subject
of keeping Lewistown clean, not only
materially but morally. A community
is Just what it's citizens make 1t, con-
tinued the speaker, and ii Lewistown
is to progress it's citizens must be pro-
gressive: if our laws are to be re-
spected, the people must see that they
are enforced; If the city is to be kept
clean, the people must give attention
to their own personal premises.
! Henry Neill was the second speaker.
Mr.. Neill is one of the most effective
boosters that this city now claims.
He painted in glowing colors the OPP
portunities with which the city is sur
rounded, the coal mines, the water
power, the shale, which, 1t has been
demonstrated, will make the best
brick now being manufactured. He
urged loyalty to home products and
created enthusiasm by his predictions
of future growth and development.
G. J. Wiedeman was the third speak
er. He said that LewistOwn is out
growing the garments of childhood;
that we are growing into a city and
should give serious consideration to
the things which a growing city re-
quires. We must have better sys-
tenn of lighting, must pave our streets,
build additional sewers and improve
sanitary conditions. He said that
everybody should stand behind the
mayor and city council in their ef-
forts to mango the affairs of the mu-
nicipality wisely and for the best in
terest of all.
George Cochrane was next called
upon and explained quite fully the
operation of the new street car sys-
tenn in Billings. He expressed the
opinion that street railway fran
chise should be granted and the rails
laid for the inevitable car line before
the streets are paved. This talk was
to with great interest.
Another luncheon will be given prob
ably sometime this week. cOmpli-

REPUBLICANS OF
MONTANA WOULD HAVE LOCAL
JURlST HEAD TICKET.
HOLD MEETING THIS WEEK
Call Issued for Session Of the In.
surgents at Billings, at Which Time
It Is Proposed to Spring Name Of
Fergus County Man for Guberna-
toriaI Nomination-May Decline.

According to dispatch from Hell
ena last week, the progressive repub-
licans OF Montana, deeply resentful Of
the manner'in which the claims made
in behal- of Judge E. K. Cheadle, Of
this city, for federal judge were turned
down by President Taft, are deter
mined to nominate the Fergus county
jurist for governor on the republican
ticket this fall
Had Endorsements.
1t is generally considered that the
turning down Of Judge Cheadle, to-
gether with his sponsor, Senator
Joseph M. Dixon, was slap direct at
progressive republicanism in Montana.
1t is pointed out that the only argu-
ment made against Cheadle's appoint
ment was that he favors certain po-
litical reforms of which the president
and his principal conferees in the mat
ter of the appointment, attorneys Of
the Amalgamated Copper company,
are opponents. No question as to his
personal or legal fitness was raised.
This slight is resented by insurgent
republicans of this state and 1t is their
present program to manifest their dis
pleasure by indorsing the man whom,
for no good reason, the president re-
pudiated.
Much Bitter Feeling.
According to the dispatch, the fight
over the federal judgeship and it's nn.
satisfactory conclusion have aroused
much bitter feeling throughout the
state and materially widened the
breach between the standpat and pro
gressive republican wings of the re-
publican party. Without doubt, the
same forces that prevented Cheadle's
appointment as Judge will be working
against him should he permit his
name to be used in the race for gov
ernor, but the insurgents, who are now
thoroughly aroused, state that they
have no fears as to the outcome OF a
contest which shall be put up squarely
to the people Of Montana rather than
to the very far-away president of the
United States.
Not Candidate.
Judge Cheadle was in Bozeman
when the dispatch was sent forth from
Helena, and to a newspaper man who
brought the article to his attention,
stated that he knew nothing of the
movement referred to and did not
care to discuss it further than to state
that he is not a candidate for any OF.
fee at this time. Friends of Judge
Cheadle in this city know this to be
the exact attitude of the LeWistown
jurist He became central figure in
the federal judgeship fight without any
effort on his own part, his name hav
ing been suggested to Senator Dixon
by hundreds off riends and admirers
in different parts OF the state.
