PINNED UNDER AUTO,
WOMAN is RESCUED
FROM T DEATH

Cardwell.-Quick work by neigh
bors and tourists saved the life of
Mrs. H. A. Allen, wife Of a local mail
carrier, when the car in which she
and her daughter were riding turned
over while making a corner. The ma
chine rolled down a bank, landing on
top of Mrs. Allen and pinning her
fast under about a foot OF water in
a slough.
Her daughter was thrown into the
slough but was not pinned down and
her screams, together with the noise
of the rolling car, attracted neigh
bOrs living close by, who with the aid
Of tourists who were just passing,
lifted the car and dragged Mrs. Al
len out.
DR.. Packard of Whitehall arrived
within 20 minutes after the accident
happened and pronounced Mrs. Allen
not seriously injured although she is
suffering from many cuts and bruises
and from lungs filled with water and
mud. Her body and head were COM
pletely submerged for about one
minute.
Miss Velma Allen was Jared up
considerably but escaped injury. The
four men tourists who assisted in the
rescue left before anyone obtained
their names, which Mr.. Allen states
he would like to have.

OUR FIRST RECOGNITION
Gallatin Gets First Place on the Re-
publican State Ticket.

GN -
publican State Ticket.
The Republicans in convention at
Great Falls on Tuesday nominated
Hon. Chas. S. Hartman of Gallatin
for congress. T. ]. Lynde was nOmi-
mated for joint representative from
Gallatin and jefferson counties.
For the first time in the history Of
the commonwealth Gallatin county
has received recognition on the state
ticket and great satisfaction is ex-
pressed thereat. Judge Hartman, the
nominee for member Of congress, is
in many ways admirably fitted to fill
the position with credit to himself
and his constituents. He is an active,
energetic man who has the tact to
get along admirably with antagonistic
factions and retain their good will,
confidence and respect. He is not
what is usually known as a brilliant
man. He is a young man who excels
in an exceptional endowment Of IN
common common sense" He is u
man whose judgment in any case is
always clear and rarely at fault. This
comes from a full endowment Of those
faculties Of the mind which make a
man fond Of knowledge and capable
Of grasping facts and cOmprehending
their Importance and relation to each
other. His sense Of fairness is such
that unconsciously he thinks Of both
sides and seeks the facts Of both
sides. Having sufficient Of the high
er Intellectual faculties to give GOOD
reasoning power, his decisions are
sound because he has considered al
the facts bearing on a case befor'
coming to a conclusion. He has bal
ance of intellect rather than excep
tiOnal endowment, and has won hi
mark by t~ireless energy and SCUM,
common sense.
No candidate could have beel

readily be seen that the girls posi-
ton was a dangerous one. When the
elevator began to move Ralph Wyatt,
who happened to be near, instantly
comprehended the situation and with
great presence Of mind stopped the
elevator just in time to ave her from

in time, no doubt, completely recover.

Progress Of New Mill.

FrOgEeSS or new Mill.
The engine and boiler for the new
mill have arrived, together with three
carloads of machinery. More ma
chinery is on the way and all Of it
will be placed in position as o as
possible by experienced m~illwrights
from the east, who are already here.
The elevator is up, the roof is on and
it is practically completed. It's ca
pacity is 100000 bushels and it will
be ready to receive grain in about
two weeks. MasOns are at work on
a brick power house and work in ev-
cry department is being pushed with
all rapidity. By the 10th of Novem-
Der or a week later at the most the
mill will be in active operation and
capable of milling 200 barrels Of
flour a day.
The company has purchased con-
siderable wheat and as soon as the
roof is on the elevator grain will be
received and hoisted temporarily with
horse power. The plant makes a
splendid appearance and must tell to
travellers on the railroad that there
is a fine grain producing section
tributary to the city.

First Grain Received.

The first grain of the season vas
received at the Benepe elevator Mon
day. It was fall wheat from Dan
Lees farm, south Of the city. Dan
had about 80 acres in this year and
the yield was $500 bushels, an aver
age Of .35 bushels to the acre. Had
the grain been irrigated the yield
would easily have been % per cent
greater. It needed water when the
kernels were filling and the grains
are all more OF less shriveled up.
However, IS bushels to- the acre
would be a good crop in any portion
of the United States outside Of CAL
latin valley.

nc work will be required to gradt it.
Mr.. Thorpe has not completed his re-
port and will not probably until af-

Chinaman Came Out Ahead.

Chihaman Came Out Ahead.
Last Saturday a man with the
trademark Of a hobo stamped all over
him wandered into n of the Chinese
restaurants and partoOk Of a square
meal. He ate all he could and then
sent the Chinaman on an errand to
the back part of the room. This done,
he calmly and in a manne becoming
his dignity as a hobo walked away
without paying for his meal. When
the Chinaman discovered the flight
Of his customer he at once set out in
pursuit. Within a block he caught
up with the hobo and insisted on hav-
ing his 1.-TWO bittee." The bad man
with a red face was insulted and
pushed the Chinaman around, swear
ing at him in the most approved
style. Then the Chinaman began to
swear, but as that had no effect, he
made a dive at the hobo and snatched
off his hat. This he bore off in tri-
umph amid the applause Of the crowd
that had witnessed the affair.

start a daily paper in this city. The
paper as contemplated will consist
Of four pages 8 x 10 inches in size
with three columns to the page. The

Poisoned Locusts as Feed.

IN South Africa, where plaques Of
locusts are often fought with
arsenic, it has been found that these
insects. even though they have sue
cumbed to deadly poison, can still be
used safely for cattle food. according
to Science. Experts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture of the Union of
South Africa have determined that
in order to obtain a fatal dose of the
poison, cattle, sheep or horses would
have to consume 200 to 700 pounds OF
the Iocusts. indicating that none Of
these animals is in danger from the
poisoned insects. For poultry and
pigs, however, there is not such
wide margin of safety.

"ANDY" JOHNSON IN CHARACTERISTIC POSE.

(and most pugnacfous) men who ever
sat in the Executive Mansion, John
son fought Congress with every
weapon at his command. To prevent
the President using the military
forces of the country in aid of the
South or in aid of his own reelection,
Congress passed the tenure of-office" :"
bill, under which Secretary Stanton
defied his chief-a situation difficult
to understand now. The law pro-
vided that every person holding any
civil Office to which he had been ap-
pointed by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate should hold
such office until a successor should
have been appointed in like manner.
1t was specified further that, during
a recess of Congress, the President
might suspend any officer until the
next meeting of the Senate, but that
within 90 days thereafter he must
submit in writing his reasons for
the suspension. If his action was
approved the officer was discharged
and a successor might be nominated.
If his action was disa pproved the
suspended officer was automatically
reinstated.
Stanton was in open league with
the anti-Johnson leaders of Congress
and the President considered it ridicu-
lous to have him at the cabinet table,
the head of an important depart
ment. When Stanton refused to re-
sign, therefore, Johnson suspended
him under the tenure-of- office act
and appointed General Grant, then
the General of the Army" acting
Secretary. Stanton grudgingly yield
ed the office to Grant, but when Con
gress met in the Fall the leaders in
stantly seized the incident as rea-
son for renewed attack on the Presi-
dent. His action in suspending Stan
ton was disapproved, whereupon
Grant instantly and without protest
or consultation with his, chief, turned
the office back to the former Secre-
tary.
and most dramatic contests ever
waged about the head of an occupant
of the White House. At times it was
marked by humorous incidents that
would have been uproariously funny
If all concerned had not been so
tragically serious. Official notice of
the action of the Senate in disapprov-
ing Stantons removal was received
by Johnson, Grant and Stanton at 9
o'clock at night, Monday, January 13,
1868. Early the next morning Stan
ton entered the War Department and
took possession of the Secretary'S s
office, without holding any communi-
cation with the President. He never
attended a cabinet meeting and ig-
nored johnson as completely as If
the latter had been an unknown pri-
vate citizen instead of Commander-in-
Chief of the Army. This impossible
situation continued for over a month,
but on Friday, February 81, President
Johnson summoned the adjutant gen.
eral, Lorenzo Thomas, to the White
House and handed him two papers.
One was addressed to Thomas, max
ing him Acting Secretary of War. and
the other was addressed to Stanton,
removing him from Office and direct
ing that he turn his official affairs
over to Thomas.

yield?" asked the prospective Secre-
tary.
"Oh, there is no need to consider
that" replied President Johnson:
you present the order and he will
simply go away. 1 know him better
than you do; he is cowardly."
Thomas was So years old, convivial
in his habits and of a trusting pa
ture. He called on Stanton and pre-
sented the paper.
DO you wish me to vacate the
Office at once or will you give me
time to remove my private property"
Stanton asked.
AT your pleasure" courteously re-
piled Thomas. When asked for a
copy of the document ousting Stan
ton he went to his own office to make
it. Stanton Immediately barricaded
himself in his office and sent out vio-
lent SOS calls to Congress. When
the extremists on Capitol Hill learned
what Johnson had done excitement
swept through both houses. The
Senate held an executive session
lasting seven hours and the leaders
sent word to Stanton to hang onto
his job. Sumner sent him single
scrap of paper on which was written
stick" A score of members of the
House repaired to Stanton's office
post haste to help him repel in
vaders. They kept an all-night
vigil, while the Capitol teemed with
excitement and with furiously re-
peated demands for Johnson's i'm
peachment. The President had based
his action on his constitutional au-
thority, but his enemies declared he
was liable to impeachment because
the "tenure-of- Office act" specifically
made violation thereof a high mis-
demeanor" punishable by impeach-
ment. Johnson held this to be un-
constitutional.
Late in the night, when the Senate
adjourned, official notice was sent to
President Johnson, Stanton and the
new acting Secretary, Thomas, appris-
ing them that the Senate had passed
a resolution declaring that under
the Constitution and laws of the
United States the President has no
power to remove the Secretary of War
and designate any other person to
perform the duties of that Office ad
interim"
THE intensity of the situation was
Increased when messengers re-
ported back to the Senate that
Thomas could not be found. Rumors
had been flying about the city all the
evening and this caused added specu-
lation. Late in the night, however,
Gen. Thomas was located at a mas
querade ball. but in the meantime
he had indulged in free conversation
about his plans.
Suppose Stanton resists?" he was
asked.

he replied.
Suppose he bars the doors?"
II will break them down.
These threats We're instantly car
ried to Stanton, in exaggerated form,
and at midnight his garrison, fearing
violence, rioted a complaeent Judge
out of bed and swore out warrant
for Thomas arrest. The marshal of
the District was also routed out at
3 am, and at am. he took Thomas
into custody, just as he was about to
eat breakfast after his allnight
