8 THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1902. DEDICATED TO GOD New Mizpah Presbyterian Church Is Opened. WITHOUT A DOLLAR OF DEBT Crowded Congregations Attend Serv ices All Day Dedication Sermon by Pastor McGIade and Ad dresses by Otlier Ministers. The beautiful new MIzpan , Presbyterian Cburcb. Powell and East Thirteenth Btreets, was dedicated yesterday afternoon in the presence of a large assemblage. Auditorium, lecture-room and slderooms vrere occupied. The platform was taste fully decorated with potted plants. . The Rev W. T. Wardle, a former pastor, as eisted in the services. The Rev. Jerome McGIade, the pastor, under whose charge the church was planned and completed, delivered the dedicatory sermon. The day was taken up with an almost continuous service. There was rejoicing on the part of the members that the building for which they had worked and sacrificed for the past two years had been completed. On the platform were the Rev. E. .P. Hill, the Rev. "W. S. Gilbert, the Rev. Mr. Day, the Rev. C. E. Cline. the Rev. Mr. McClelland and other ministers who took part in the dedicatory programme. Dedicatory Sermon. The Rev. Jerome McGIade, the pastor, spoke on the subject, "The House of God," and the text was from Second Chronicles-vl:lS, "But will God In very deed dwell with men pn the earth? Be hold heaven, and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built." He said in part: , . "In a sermon on this occasion, when we dedicate a temple to the worship of God. it seems fitting to state that for which the house of God stands. First, y the evolution of this idea in the history of the church throws light upon the place and mission of the house of God. This line of thought lead from the setting up of altars to Jehovah in the earliest times, to the tabernacle set up in the wilderness, to the temple of Solomon on Mount Moriah, to the modern church building. "A second thought in the development of the theme is this, that God dwells in thoEe houses builded for and dedicated to his worship. In the Jewish temple God's presence wa6 everything, and in this practical and material age it is well to remember that though God is everywhere present he dwells in a more real way in his house. "Reverence becomes his worshipers. Not every place is holy, nor aoes every bush burn with Are. God's house is par ticularly a sacred place, and jeverence, which Is one of the highest virtues, is to be worn there In humblest form. Irrev erence is one sin of the age. The tend ency Is to put man on an equality with God The danger is foolishly to rush in where angels fear to tread. Let us teach our children that holiness becometh God's house forever. "I wish to say a word in favor of the churchly church.' Here Is where art should be married to religion, but is often divorced. God is not the more honored the more rudely his house Is builded. He who causes to grow the stately fir tree and cedar, who lifted the vault of the heavens, who hangs his bow In the clouds, who decks the earth with flowers, who creates landscapes, rivers, mountains, who burnishes the east with the beams of the rising sun and the west with the departing rays, surely is not pleased If. we forsake all art in the erection unto him of a house. Art has her mission in t the house of God, and the church archl 'tect can do a noble work for Christ . know that in the days of Luther and John Knox the iconoclast had his mis sion, but is it not probable that the man with ax and maul has been too destruct ive? - Surely it is a tendency that Is holy. when in the building of churches it is sought so to build as to impress the mind of the worshiper with 'devotion and rev erence. Dr. Joseph Parker expresses his mind on this point that we descend to the commonplace when wc think any hut will do for God; that God can be wor shiped in the lowly place where there is only the widow's mite, but otherwise it will be as a house without light, unblessed and rejected. 'God will meet us under the plainest roof if it is all we can supply. but if we say any place will do for God we may make the appointment, but he will not be there. "Lastly, the benefits of the house of God: King Solomon Invoked in his prayer blessings from heaven upon those who, having sinned, sought God's altar In repentence; upon Israel in captivity, afflicted with famine, upon strangers in the land, if there be a turning unto the Lord. Even so blessings and benefits ac crue today secular world benefited: spiritual blessings in that church stands for the teaching function, the social, but chiefly for public worship, being the house of prayer and the house where there Is the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ for the salvation of sinners." Following the sermon remarks were made by the Rev. "W. T. "Wardle. the Rev. E. P. Hill, and the Rev. Mr. Day. con gratulating the members on their beauti ful church home. The new church cost a little over $6000. Plans were laid about two years ago, shortly after the Rev. Jerome McGIade entered on his work as pastor. Dedica tion yesterday without a dollar of debt unprovided for Is a creditable record for Mizpah and the community, and even the members are amazed that It was accom pllshed. Of the $6000 the Twentieth Cen tury Fund, of Portland Presbyterian Churches, contributed 52000. Church Ex tension granted $1000, while the members and their friends raised over $3000. The last sum raised was $420, and this was raised after the members thought they naa contributed every cent they could, The Rev. Mr. McGIade says that there has been entire harmony from the begin ning ot the work to the dedication. Great sacrifices have been made, he said. Out side help also has come from the com munlty. The Ladies' Aid Society pur chased the carpet and the young people put in tne electric lights. The church building occupies ground SSX63, and tne following are Its capacity ana dimensions: Tower vestibule, 11x10 auditorium, 30x50, will seat 300 people tsunaay scnool, 25x54, will seat 220 peo pie; Christian Endeavor parlor, 12x20, 50 people; parlor, 10x20, 40 people; session room, 10x15; vestibule, 12x12; side en trance. Infant classrooms, separated by curtains; total seating capacity on spe- . cial occasions, about 700. The auditorium and Sunday schoolroom are separated by tne aitar platform ana a good ornamented screen and may be thrown together. Fin Ishlng is in richly stained redwood. Pews are of redwood. The appearance of the interior is rich and pleasing. The roof is in the natural wood, the trusses being ex posed. Over the Sunday-school room and back of the altar platform the cellintr is arched, the ensemble of the supporting trusses Deing highly ornamental. It Is the opinion of experts and ministers that the Interior design and finish are highly artistic and superior to those of any other church in the city. An ample base ment is provided, in which is placed the heating apparatus, and there Is room for a large apartment. The building committee Is: The Rev. Jerome McGIade, chairman; Penumbra Kelly, S. P. Mackey. J. E. Martin, Ed ward Poppleton, Robert Kirkham, I. B. Brooks, F. A. Blank, H. J. Wilson. MISSIONARY W&RK IN MALAYSIA. Rev. W. G. Sliellabear Addresses Tay lor-Street Methodist Church. The feature of the evening's service at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church last night was the address of Rev. W. G. Shellabear, of Singapore, on the mission ary work that the church has "accom plished in Malaysia. A large audience was present to hear the address, and so completely were the seats of the church filled that it was necessary to place chairs in the back to accommodate all the au ditors. Rev. Mr. Shellabear has had many years' experience in the mission ary field in the Malay Peninsula, and his address at the close of the 10th annnual meeting of the Columbia River Branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary So ciety was appropriate and well timed. Mr. Shcllabear's remarks were in part as follows: "Missionary work in Singapore was commenced 17 years ago, and so rapidly has the work progressed that we now have an annual conference, the last one of which was held last February, over 30 preachers being present. "The islands and the peninsula are most wonderful, and are splendid fields both for commerce and missionary work. They are in fact the scene of the first foreign missionary work that was ever attempt ed by any country. As early as 1600, the Dutch government sent traders around the Cape of Good Hope into the Indian Ocean,, and in addition to the sailors that went with the. ships, there were also min isters, and now there are hundreds of thousands of converts in tne Islands of Borneo, Surinam, Sumatra and Java. The Germans, too, have had remarkable suc cess, and have secured in the neighbor hood of 40,000 converts in the time that they have been engaged in the field. Much of the land Is as yet untouched, and a very rich field remains practically untouched, and what has been done by the Dutch and Germans may be done by us. 'Rev. Mr. Oldham, who was In India In 18S3, was sent to Singapore early in that year to start the work along mis sionary lines in the Malay city. Meet ings were held in the Town Hall, and very small congregations were the result. flrst came to know of the work two years later. I was in the British army. and I had great opportunities to study both the language and the people. 'Old ham was a friend of mine, and after I had been there a few months, the first mis sionary of the Woman's Foreign Mission ary Society, Miss Blackmore, arrived. Miss Blackmore founded the flrst school, and she has done noble work. This school has grown, and now It is the principal girls' school in Singapore, and Miss Lilly, who has been here with you for the last few days, has been principal for the past Ave years. "The first thing that Miss Blackmore did to start the school was to visit the various villages around the city, and then to open It up on a side street of Singa pore. I was in charge of the communion services, and where there were then only five or six, there are now from 100 to 150. The Home which was commenced is now on one of the principal hills of the city. Singapore is a city of -hills, very much like Portland, and the Home is on one very near the city, so that it is very con venient for the missionaries. There we have the school for giris. "The work of the Missionary Society has not been confined to the City of Sing apore alone. The peninsula was divided Into many states entirely independent, but the coming of the English has changed all this. We have a fine school in another city of Pal Ting,, that the government has turned over to us, d fact that speaks volumes for our educational facilities and training. "In closing I would dwell on the noble women who come out to do work in the great field. They come out to do a noble work, and they are securing noble re sults." FRENCH OX BACKSLIDING. Salvation Army Colonel Addresses Large Meetings. Yesterday Colonel George French held numerous meetings over the city. He snoke at a meeting in the East Oak street hall at 11 A. M., held officers' coun cil at 2 P. M and preached on the corner of First and Alder at 3 and 8 P. M. The holiness meeting In the hall on East Oak was arranged for some time ago. There was a good sprinkling of Army people to hear the address of Colonel French. He spoke to them on "Backsliding," and he said, in nart: "The backslider In heart shall be filled with his own ways; and a good man shall be satisfied with himself," said the Colonel. He also used passages taken at random frcm the book of the prophet Hosea, "in which," said he, "Is given us the grandest description imaginable of the backslider in heart. We In the Army are entering upon a winter campaign for souls known as the 'white-hot crusade, and this morning we want to make a be ginning, and the proper way to start it is to have a revival of religion in our own hearts. "All revlvallstic efforts begin in 'the hearts of God's people, and we are here this morning to inaugurate a revival that shall, by the help of God, sweep thou sands Into the kingdom between now and spring. Let us examine into the lesson before us. First, what does backsliding mean.' it is me oreaKing or certain vows taken upon ourselves, taken perhaps In secret before God. It means the drawing back of one's soul. In the flrst part of Revelation you will And something about this matter. Listen to these words: 'Nev ertheless, I have somewhat against thee. because thou hast left thy first love. The Church of Ephesus had labored and not fainted, but the Lord had 'somewhat against them.' They had backslidden in heart. Like the worm that gnaws at the root of a plant until It eats out its very life, heart backsliding is the source of the mischief eventually revealed in a back sllddcn life. Often men and women then awake, only to find that God has cast them off foTevcr. This is why Almighty uoa is so particular regarding heart back eliding, the Inception of life backsliding.' The Colonel took up. in turn, the indi cations, causes and results of heart back sliding. Of the flrst "it Is often less of In terest In private devotion, lack of zeal and making light of sin." Of the second. "it wasn't what somebody said of us, or about us, that lost us our experience, but it discovered to us our backslidden heart. We disregard duty. We run away like Jonah. The devil can always make a way out for a backslider. What did he say to Jesus? 'All these will I give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me.' The greatest commandmant of God Is, 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me. There must be no compromise with God, and if you dally with sin it will destroy you. Agag was spared by King Saul, and the king paid the penalty of compromise with his life. The result of heart backsliding- is, so the text plainly tells us, that we 'shall be filled with our own ways.' Ways of waywardness! Terrible to con template aTe the ways of that man or woman. And God often says to that one, 'Let him alone; he Is Joined to his idols.' Now, to the backslidden In heart let me say this morning: 'Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works over; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and I will re move thy candlestick out of his place, ex cept thou repent.' Remember, repent; como to the cross and do thy first works over and it shall go well with you." The Colonel admirably Illustrated several of his points, and throughout held the atten tion of the many who were In the hall. Seventeen people'came to the altar at the close of the meeting. Tonight the ftolonel will bold forth at the Barracks on Davis, near Third. Two 'meetings will be held; first, the officers' demonstration, followed by a half night of -prayer, which commences at 10:30. Cof fee and doughnut3 will be served between the services. All aro welcome. MINISTER AS CONDUCTOR IiEAVES PULPIT TO COLLECT NICK- ELS ON STREET-CAR. Rev. G. A. Taggart Surprises His Con gregationSays He Wishes to Stady Human Nature. - The resignation of the Rev. G. A. Tag gart, who had been pastor of the Mississippi-Avenue Congregational Church, and his subsequent acceptance of the po sition of conductor- on a Portland street car line, came as a shock to the members and friends of that church, not because the position of car conductor Is not as honorable as that of a minister, but be cause the action Is unusual. Mr. Tag gart had been a successful pastor of this church two or-" three years, and the church had prospered uuder his pastorate. A prominent member said of Mr. Tag- MR, AND MRS. B. PAPE ENTERTAIN THEIR FRIENDS IN THEIR OLD HOME. Mr. and Mrs. B. Pape, well-known residents of the East Side, celebrated their golden wedding at their home, on the corner of East Eleventh and East Ankeny streets, Monday evening, October 13. There was a considerable gathering of the relatlvM and Immediate friends of the family at the old home. The rooms had been attractively decorated for the occasion. Abundant refreshments, prepared by" Mrs. Pape, were served the guests. Mr. and Mrs. Pape were married In Cfilcago, October 13. 1832. They came to Portland 32 years ago, and almost Imme diately made their home on the spot where their present dwelling stands. Mr. Pape served as Councilman shortly after the East Portland city government was organized, when Colonel Van Cleve and James B. Stephens were members, Tho surviving children are as follows: Henry Pape, Mi. Mary Gritzmacher, Mrs. H. H. Newhall, Portland; John B. Pape, Long Beach; Carrie Pape, Graysvllle, Idaho. gart that he regarded him as a man of excellent abilities, the equal of any con gregational minister in Portland on the platform, and tho superior of many. 'He could fill any pulpit in i'oruana with credit," he continued. "His rela tions with the church were pleasant, and his resignation was accepted with re gret." Mr. Tatreart is conductor on a Mount Tabor car of the City & Suburban Rail way Company, and got this position, ne says, so he could have outdoor occupa tion and an opportunity of studying hu man nature, so that if he returns to the ministry he will have a stock of valua ble information. He could not have chosen an occupation that will afford him a wider field to study human nature than as car conductor, as he will be "up against" all classes of people. A few he may have to "bounce" oft the car for not paying fare. There are many car conductors in Portland who think that Mr. Taggart has jumped from the frying pan into the fire in stepping (not down) from the pulpit to the car platform. IS MIXING THE BREEDS. Magoon Extends Practice to Straw berry anil Prune Culture. M. J. Magoon, who developed the Ma goon strawberry, has now matured the Black Diamond strawberry, which, he says, will take the place of the Clark and will equal the Magoon. It has taken three years to bring up the variety to the present perfection. Mr. Magoon has set out half an acre of plants this Fall, which he 1b confident will produce a full crop next year. The Black Diamond is a cross between the Timbrel and the Magoon, and was developed by planting the seeds of the two varieties in the same hill. The plants were then reset, and the most promising were then selected, which has resulted In an entirely new variety of strawberry. Enough were produced this season to show what may be expected of them. The berries are darken color and of de licious flavor. Mr. Magoon also has developed from a seed a new prune, which, he thinks, Is superior to the Italian. He says that it is much sweeter and matures fully three weeks earlier than the Italian. This will be a great improvement, if the new prune has all the virtues Mr. Magoon claims for it WILL REPAIR TRESTLE. City Gives Assurances to Agitated East Morrison-Street People. The East Morrison-street elevated road way between the Morrison bridge ap proach and Union avenue will be repaired within the next two weeks. Councilman John P. Sharkey, of the Ninth Ward, said yesterday that he had received as surances that the repairs would be made within that time. Business men along that thoroughfare have become fearful that It would be closed, owing to the bad condition of the decking, and they will be greatly relieved by this announcement. The repairs will consist In replacing the plank outside the double tracks of the City & Suburban Railway Company, which takes up about one-third of the street The cost will not be very great Probably by the time the plank wears out again the street will be filled and tho surface permanently paved. Owing to the heavy traffic passing along East Mor rison street to Morrison bridge, new plank hardly lasts two years. MONUMENT CONTRACT LET. Committee Accepts Bid for Founda tion of Soldiers' Memorial. At a meeting of the building committee of the Lone Fir Monument Association held yesterday afternoon at 64 Grand ave nue, a contract with D. D. Neer for erec tion of tho monument up to the statue was authorized, subject to the approval of the association, which will meet next Sunday afternoon. Mr. Neer presented the working plans and specifications of the part tho contract calls for, the work to cost $1400. The contract includes the concrete foun dation, the three stone steps up to the shaft and base of the statue. Right to change plans of the statue above the shaft and base was reserved. After ap proval of the contract by the association work will be started. PAatlETS NEW STEAMER. Speedy Craft Building, Probably for Puget Sound, at Oak-Street Yard. The steamboat being built by Joseph Paquet under the supervision of Cap tain James Cochran, on the dock at the foot of East Oak street, will be ready for launching in about 30 days. By that time the river will probably have risen so that tho craft may be launched from the dock. Piles will be driven out from the edge of the dock as ways. Great secrecy Is still observed as to the destination of this craft It is not thought that it is for the Willamette or Columbia River, but that it will be sent around for service at some point on Puget Sound. The craft Is being built substantially for hard service and on lines that indicate speed. She is 165 feet long by 22 feet wide and seven-foot hold. The hull is covered with double planking. First came half inch sheating put on diagonally, and then the outside plank was securely spiked over this, thus giving the hull great strength and rigidity. Work is now being done on the lower and upper cabins. Provisions are being made for carrying a large passenger list and considerable freight. Powerful en gines are being built. Captain James Cochran, a well-known steamboat man, is superintending the work, and it conforms with his ideas. It shows every indication that it will be a beautiful and speedy craft. East Side Notes. Monthly reception of the Patton Home for Old Ladles will be held tomorrow from 2 till 5 o'clock. The friends of the Home will be made welcome. The Brooklyn and carshops -branch of the City & Suburban Railway Company now gives 15-mlnute service. Completion THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING of the switch in Raffety Addition made this improvement possible. The committee on raising a bonus, to se cure the carshops of the Oregon yatcr Power & Railway Company for Sellwood has raised something over $1000. A much larger sum is expected. The funeral of John Windle, pioneer of 1852, was held yesterday morning from tht St. John's Evangelical Church, and was largely attended. The interment took place in the Columbia cemetery. The beautiful new Wlllsburg school house, east of Sellwood, will be dedicated tomorrow with appropriate exercises. R. F. Robinson, County School Superintend ent, will bo present. The building cost $3000. The Sellwood Board of Trade has started a movement to secure a free ferry be tween Sellwood and the opposite side of the Willamette River. President Donaugh was authorized to appoint a committee of five to take the matter In hand. Tho Troutdale library has received do nations of books from the following per sons recently: Misses Evelyn, Caroline and Frances Wilson, Portland; Mrs. C. B. Wade, Pendleton; John H. Hall, Portland. Election of officers will be held next Fri day. Proceeds of an entertainment No vember 1 will go Into the library fund. The 9-year-old son of M. L. Keath. su perintendent of tho Madison-street bridge, yesterday fell from a tree at his home on East Eighth and East Flanders streets, fracturing his left arm at the shoulder, suffering slight concussion of the brain and sustaining slight Internal Injuries. He fell about 20 feet Dr. M. A. Fllnn was called to attend him. He was resting well last evening. ' RELIGION FOR PRISONERS Condemned and. Accused Murderers Among: Most Attentive Listeners. The county jail was visited yesterday afternoon by the church prison choir, and services were held In each of the corri dors. As usual, the prisoners stepped to the. bars to listen to both the song serv ice and the prayer, and one of the most attentive auditors was A. L. Beldlng, the murderer of his wife, hie mother-in-law and "Gyp" Woodward. Belding, who oc cupies the cell In which Jack Wade passed his last days, listened earnestly to tho advice which two elderly women gave him. He appeared to be resigned to his fate, and he has said to some of the mis sionaries that when he committed the crime he expected to pay the full penalty. His only anxiety was in regard to his boy. He wishes to have his child adopted by his brother-in-law, E. O. Norene, and given a good education. Whilo Belding has given his entire at tention to all the missionaries who have called upon him, ho seems to have evinced a decided partiality for the Marshall brothers, who were the last companions or Wade and Dalton, and who accompanied the condemned murderers to the gallows. The songs and prayers of the two broth ers have apparently had a great effect upon him, and he cordially welcomes them whenever they vlelt him. With George Marshall ho seems to have estab lished a firm "friendship, and his hand Is always through the bars when tho firmly built missionary appears. Another prisoner in the jail, but one who takes life very easy, is Georgo Smith, the negro who is accused of having mur dered his white wife. Smith, during the religious services, is attentive, but on other occasions he is very familiar, and he never falls to recognize -an acquaint ance who Is passing along the corridor. As Smith has lived here the greater part of his life, he has many acquaintances, and there is many a handshake between the bars. Smith has no fear of the fu ture, and to a caller yesterday he said he would be satisfied with the findings at a Inrr . -r J Service for Welsh. Sailors. Many Welsh residents of this city were present last night In the Seamen's Insti tute to attend the service for Welsh sail ors nuw in una pori. a sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Cumming- uruce, wno tooK as ins text Luke xix:10. Then there was a sacred song service in the Welsh language conducted by sailors from tho urltlsh ships John Cook and Morven. The singing was unaccompanied and was hearty, with plenty of volume One sailor struck the keynote and his mutes unu me auaience joined in. Sev eral persons In the chapel stated that they had not taken part In such an In teresting sen-ice since they left Wales. Many of the hymns sung are old favorites known to most choir singers in this coun try. RECREATION. If you wiih to enjoy a day of rest and pleasuie. take the O.

Toole, of Butte, Mont., who Is at the Portland, having come here on business for the Big Blackfoot Mill ing Company of Montana, a new compli cation has entered into the political fight In Montana. F. A. Helnze, the recent convert to Democracy," who is trying to wrest control of the party from Senator Clark, has brought about the indorse ment of Judge W. L. Holloway, the Re publican candidate for Supreme Judge, by the several fusion parties which he con trols. Helnze's assortment of parties con- sists of the Anti-Trust Democrats, the Populists, the Labor Party and the Eight Hour Republicans. This new development Is the more sur prising because the Republicans have been the most open In their denuncia tion of Helnze's alleged desire to control the courts for the purpose of securing favorable decisions on his many pending suits with the Amalgamated Copper Com pany. So fierce has been the Republican fight against him that, when the Repub lican state convention discovered that Judge Henry .C. Smith, of Helena, ,had secretly secured the promise of Helnze's Indorsement for Supreme Judge, It dropped him as a candidate and took up Judge Holloway. Prior to this discovery Smith was understood to be sure of a unanimous nomination. "Judge Holloway does not admit that he has made any alliance with Helnze," said' Mr. Toole to The Oregonian, "and the majority of tho people do not believe that any alliance exists. When he was asked what he had to say about it Judge Holloway said he could not refuse any votes that were offered him. He Is spoken of highly by men of all parties. I believe the Democrats will carry the state In spite of Helnze's ticket. His ticket will hot catch many votes except in Butte, where he has many friends, but ho will, not have a walk-away even there. The miners' vote Is pretty well divided, but he is Strong among other classes of workmen. He 13 also counting on a big vte In Jefferson County, on account of his promise to put the Basin smelter In operation. This Is a flant erected by the Basin & Bay State Mining Company, which went Into the hands of a receiver just as it was ready to begin operations. Helnze has leased this plant from the re ceiver, but suit has been started by other interests to have it cancelled, and I do not believe the lease will amount to any thing." The indorsement of Holloway by Helnze Indicates that he would rather defeat Clark as the leader of the regular Democ racy than the Republicans, who have al ways fought, him hitherto. He has the support of Governor Toole and of John S. M. Nelll, ex-chalrman of the Demo cratlc state committee. "Nelll owned the Helena Independent until .last August and was using It to support Helnze against Clark, when the latter bought the paper for a good round sum in cash and relieved him of a load. This faction fight has been brewing ever since the alliance of Clark and Helnze carried the state In 1800. v Helnze con trolled the few Labor and Populist mem bers in the Legislature and held them off from helping to elect Clark to the Senate until the handful of Daly Democrats made their votes unnecessary by falling in line with tho caucus nomination. Then Helnze tried to get the short-term Senatorshlp for himself or his "man Friday," John MacGlnniss, and kept the Legislature deadlocked until the last night of the ses sion, when a stampede for Paris Gibson, a dark horse, ended the agony and took away his last hope. The coolness thus generated cropped out again In another place. Heinze had a contest with the Boston & Montana Mln Ing Company for the Pennsylvania, one of the richest mines in Butte, and was only allowed to continue operations on condi tion that he gave bond equal to the value of the ore extracted. Clark and his son Charles W. Clark were his largest sure ties on this bond, but after the quarrel In the Legislature they petitioned the Su preme Court to release them and made some damaging allegations against Mr. Helnze's credit. Helnze was soon after required to increase his bond until it reached a total of $1,300,000, which greatly strained his resources and might, if the Supreme Court had been stringent in its requirements, have caused him to shut down the mine. This would have deprived him of his principal supply of ore for his smelter and thus reduced the available funds needed to prosecute his 30 or more lawsuits. Mr. Toole Is a Democrat and naturally looks at the political situation through Democratic spectacles, being a brother of John R. Toole, one of the trusted lieuten ants of the lato Marcus Daly. Since the death of the latter the Clark and Daly Democrats have burled the hatchet and are alKworklng together for the success of the regular Democratic ticket. The main strength of the Democrats has al ways been In Butte and If Helnze can di vert enough votes to make the two reg ular parties break even in that city the Republicans will have a fighting chance In tho rest of the state. The sheep and cattlemen of Eastern and Northern Mon tana are mostly Republicans, and the new Immigrants Into the la"tter section of the state are generally of the same political stripe, while " the population of Helena and other Democratic strongholds has been generally at a standstill. Thus Mr. Toole's prediction of Democratic success may be Inspired rather by hope than con viction and Montana may enter the Re publican column this fall. Students Elect Offlccrs. PACIFIC UNFVERSITY.
