NYE OR WILLIAMS.

Minneapolis is to elect a Mayor
November 3rd. The choice must be
between Mayor Nye and his record,
and Mr.. Williams with his promises.
What Mr.. Williams will do. we can
only hope. What Mr.. Nye has done
we already know. And from the
record that he has made he must be
judged.
Two years ago the Journal took
active part in the election of Mr.. Nye
as Mayor. 1t gave its support to Mr..
Nye. because it believed that the vel
fare Of the city would be best served
by his election. In arriving at that
conclusion. it believed that he would

terests of the people.-that he would
fairly enforce the laws; that he would

zens. but Of all within our gates; that

lation was concerned. be protected

At that time The Journal believed
Mr.. Nye to be free from brewery
domination. and thus free to accomp-
lfsh. according to his ability, what
should be the ambition Of every
Mayor Of Minneapolis-police regu-
lation for the public welfare.
What has been the result of nearly
two years of Mr.. Nye's Administra-
ton? Has former police administra-
ton been improved? Has it not de-

1t would be no answer to saw that
Mr.. Nye's Administration has been
as good as that in other cities of orr

cities Is VIGOROUSLY bad. It would

THE WORLDS GREATEST BAT.
TIE.

The greatest battle in history has
been in progress for five weeks, with
no decisive success on either side and
with varied chances of success from
one day to another. 1t is pointed out
by military men that no matter
which side loses the battle will not
be decisive, since either side may fall
back on its second line of defence and
the battle continue indefinitely. The
longest previous battle in history was
that of the Japanese-Russian at Muk-
del. which lasted for twenty days and
which resulted in the defeat of the
Russians. It is estimated that Ger
many has under arms, including re-
served troops. 100000 men, with
over 4.260.000 ready for Nov. LIST.
It is reported from Russian sources
that there are two million men en-
gagged at the Prussian and Polish
frontiers. and about 100000 men at
Austria Hungary. It is estimated
that Russia has enrolled 100000
men. 100000 of whom have had
military training. Servia. with about
100000 is reported to have practical
ly driven Austria Hungary from her
domain. France claims total of
100000 of which 100000 are en-
gagged in the frontier and 100000
men among the reservists and old
soldiers. Great Britain claims about
475,0O0 men ready for active serv-
ice, with a. quarter of a million &C.
tually engaged at the present time,
including the troops from India.
These figures mean that there are,
at present, under arms in all coun-
tries engaged in war, including the
reservists' fifteen and one-half mil
lion men. The reports from London
and Paris. given out by military ex-
perts. are to the effect that no i'm
portant conclusion is to be drawn
from any result in the present battle.
1t cannot be looked on as decisive
for either side, for the reasons that
have been given, namely: that either
side may fall back on the second line
of defense. Each side has, therefore,
settled down to- the reality of long
war in which engagements will last
longer than ever before known and
military preparations have been car
ried out on scale heretofore I'M

cepting from sheer exhaustion of the

MINING PIONEERS GATHER
Monument Dedicated in Honor of
Known and Unknown Dead of
Former Camp.

Drummond.-During an impressive
gathering of the pioneers of the old
mining camp of Henderson gulch the
monument which was presented by
James A. Murray was dedicated in
honor of the known and unknown
dead of the former camp. The shaft
which is placed in the burial grounds
on the bench overlooking the placer
field was dedicated by Mr.. Murray dur
ing services which were in charge of
Father d. Meade. F. D. Brown of
Philipsburg also took an active part,
it being through his efforts that the
spot was marked. Among the other
guests who attended were E. S. Pax
son, the Missoula artist; H. II. Bar
rett, the sculptor who designed the
monument, and A. L. Stone of the
University of Montana.
The shaft is of granite and bears on
the west side a chiseled design repre-
senting a pick and shovel and a gold
pan, below which are the names of
those buried near by. On the east side
is chiseled the inscription God sent
you here to make the wilderness a

Bozeman.-Lazar Tomich has been
sentenced by Judge B. B. Law to spend
five years in the state prison at hard
labor. Before pronouncing sentence
Judge Law reviewed the information,
and stated to Tomich that the jury
had found him guilty as charged, leav-
ing the sentence to the court and
asked if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced.
Tomich said nothing, but his at
torney, H. H. Tyvand, made an earn
est appeal for leniency in view of the
fast that this was the first time the
man had been arrested for any crime
against the law. The judge replied
that while the charge of which To
mich was convicted was robbery
there were peculiar circumstances
connected with the case that made it
far worse than if he had just taken
the dynamite for his own use, SO he
was not deserving of the minimum
sentence.

Contest Simon Repin,s VIII.

Great Falls.-Charging that undue

mon Pepin, wealthy Havre business
man who died recently, leaving an es-
tate valued at about a million and
half, with a view to inducing him to
leave much of his property to Eliza
beth Myers, who claims to be a daught-
er of Pepin, contest proceedings have
been field in the district court of Hill
county by Peter, John and Henry Des
Roster and Mary Herbert, nephews
and niece of deceased. The papers
allege that there was no legal adop-
ton by Pepin of Elizabeth Myers, to
whom the bulk of the estate was be-
queathed, and that the girl and her
mother, Rose Trottier used undue in
fiuence over testator; that Pepin had
made certain promises to the other
heirs which he was prevented from
carrying out in his will by this alleged
influence of the Myers girl and her
mother The papers assail the legality
of the adoption of the girl, allege that
Pepin was a single man and deny the
paternity of the principal beneficiary.

The two men used an old file to dig
a hole through the outer brick wall

where they were allowed to take their

spot, and it was at this spot the brick
