London. oct. 3.-The publicity de-
partment Of the German and Austrian
army headquarters have furnished ac-
counts of the results Of current bat
ties differing SO radically from the
camps of their opponents as 70 render
the widely divergent statements ire

In regard to the battle Of the Aisne
there is only one point In which the
German and French reports agree and
that is that General Won Kluck is still
going northward. though at a snail's
pace. and that he is so powerful that
General Jonre is obliged to admit that
the German commander has been able
to make French detachment, de-
bouching from Arras, fall back.
The first Austrian staff report with
any details gives Hat denial to the
Servians' vivid stories of victory, but
the Serbs are equally emphatic in Civ
ing the lie the the Austrian claim.

There is a movement on foot
to secure the u. S. marshalship
for Arthur Higgins Of Missoula.
Senators Walsh and Myers have
each recommended a man for
the appointment and a deadlock
has resulted, which would indi-
cate that Marshal Lindsay will
either hold on or that the presi-
dent will be called upon to select
a man independent of the recon-

alter Walsh is for Joe Kirschwing

Up to the present time no in
terest whatever has developed as
to who shall be elected aldermen
in Roman at the April election.
In fact it has hardly been dis
cussed at all. 1t is too important
a matter to not give attention
and some interest should be
taken by every tax payer. 1t
should be their ambition to have
good men elected who will con-
serve the interests of the town
and not permit debts to accumu-
late nor the town to retrograde.
There is a course which can be
pursued which will rebound to
the credit of the town and at the
same time keep the financial con-
dition such as to be a credit to
the town. There is no pressing
necessity of expanding any great
sums in public Improvements
and the people are of such law
abiding nature that high salaried
peace officers are useless. It
then behooves the voters to elect
men this spring who will not in
cur any expense which can be
avoided and keep the credit of
Roman always at par. Get busy
and select good men for the
vacancies which will be made by
the expiration of the terms to
which some were elected last
spring.

Chinese Sweetmeats.

The Chinese are very skillful in
making confectionery and possess
the reputation of having some Sc
crets, the knowledge of which our
own confectioners would find very
desirable. They are able to empty
an orange of its pulp entirely and
then fill it up with fruit jelly with
out one being able to find the small
est cut in the rinG or even tiny
hole. Indeed, they even empty an
egg in this manner and fill it with
sort of almond nugget, without one
being able to find the slightest
break or incision in the shell.
