2 THE DAILY MISSOULIAN, MISSOULA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1904. ## Column 1 # HIBERNIANS ARE CALLED TO ORDER IN STATE CONVENTION [spans columns 1-2] Fully 100 delegates, representing every division in the state, are attending the grand lodge of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, which convened in this city yesterday morning. This is the eleventh biennial session and a number of matters of importance to the order are under consideration. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 and immediately thereafter the delegates marched to St. Patrick's church in a body, where high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father De Thoor, who preached an eloquent and impressive sermon. Immediately after the conclusion of the services at the church the delegates again assembled at the meeting place in the Union theatre, where the business of the session was begun in earnest. ### President's Report Read. The first on the program was the address of D. J. Hennessy of Butte, state president of the organization. The paper, which also embraced the report of the condition of the order, was an interesting one, and showed, among other things, that the membership of the organization had doubled during the past two years, at present having a membership of 3,154. During the time that had elapsed since the meeting in reat [sic] Falls, two years ago, $2,854 has been expended in charitable work, $1,000 of this amount being donated to the Orphans' Home at Helena. One new county—Chouteau—has been organized during the past two years, a strong division having been established at Havre. There was the greatest increase in membership in Silver Bow county, 700 new members being added during the last two years. Division No. 1, in Silver Bow county, has the largest membership of any division in the United States, numbering 595. There are three divisions in Silver Bow, all of them having a most healthy membership. Following the president's address came the regular routine business. After the various committees were appointed, the report of the secretary and other officers were read. The treasurer's report showed that the organization was in a healthy condition. The business session lasted from 11 o'clock until 3 p. m., when an adjournment was taken to allow the different committees to prepare their reports. ### Will Add Insurance. In all probability the plan of adding an insurance feature to the work of the organization in Montana will be one of the most important matters to come before the meeting, and the committee which has the matter under consideration has been granted until 9 o'clock in the morning to report. This is a feature which is controlled by the states throughout the union, each state division making its own laws on the subject. Throughout Montana there are at least 1,000 members of the A. O. H. who have their affiliation with eastern lodges in states possessing the insurance feature. Rather than lose this insurance they have kept their membership in these lodges and have not joined the Montana organization, although affiliating with them. For the purpose of securing the membership of this large body of Hibernians whose insurance could be transferred, as well as adding greater inducements for new membership, the insurance feature has many warm supporters among the rank and file, as well as the officers of the Hibernian society. ### Anaconda Next Meeting Place. Already there is some talk of the officers which are to be elected this afternoon. It is practically conceded that Anaconda will be the next meeting place. It has been the policy of the organization to take turns in distributing the meeting places to the cities of the state which maintain divisions of the A. O. H. This year it is Anaconda's turn, and there seems to be no opposition to choosing the Smelter City as the meeting place for 1906. D. J. Hennessy, it is stated, will positively not be a candida[te] for re-election as president. As his successor the name of Jerry J. Ryan, one of the best known attorneys of Butte, is prominently mentioned. For vice-president. Attorney E. C. Mulroney of this city has many friends and supporters among the delegates, and it is more than probable that he will be the one chosen. J. J. O'Mahoney of Great Falls will probably be re-elected as treasurer, and John J. Clark of Helena will likely be re-elected as treasurer by acclamation. Either Father McCormick of Great Falls, or Father Callahan of Butte, will be chosen grand chaplain. When the convention reassembled at 3 o'clock the committees that were ready made their reports. The committees on by-laws and insurance were not ready and were given until 9 o'clock this morning to finish their work. The committee on resolutions, one of the most important committees, reported as follows, the report being adopted: ### Resolutions Adopted. To the members of the Eleventh Biennial State Convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians Assembled— Gentlemen and Brothers—Your committee on resolutions beg leave to submit the following: Resolved, That the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Montana in convention tion [sic] assembled congratulate the order for the decided progress it has made during the past two years, and particularly the state officers, to whom the credit for for [sic] the increased membership is largely due. Resolved, That the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Montana renews its loyalty and unswerving devotion to the free institutions of this country and state. Resolved, That we commend the effort now being made to introduce the study of Irish history in our parochial schools, and also the work of extending and perpetuating the Gaelic language. Resolved, That we greatly appreciate and heartily commend the noble work that the Thomas Francis Meagher Memorial association has accom- [column continues] ## Column 2 plished in the matter of the erection of a monument to the memory of that illustrious patriot and distinguished soldier, Thomas Francis Meagher, and we hereby pledge our undivided support to the successful termination of the laudable work in which the said association is now engaged. ### Ireland's Independence Near. Resolved, That as a society composed of Irishmen and descendants of Irishmen, the A. O. H. of Montana rejoice in the union of our race in all parts of the world, and hope for and predict the ultimate and complete independence of Ireland in the immediate future. Resolved, That we congratulate the people of Ireland and their sterling supporters the world over for the marked advancement they have thus far attained in becoming individual owners in fee in their respective farms and we herein further extend to the Irish parliamentary party our sincere gratitude for their efficient assistance in bringing about more equitable legislation for their native land. Resolved, That we view with a deep sense of pleasure the splendid progress of the movement that is now being conducted in the land of our fathers to preserve and perpetuate their native tongue and literature. Resolved, That this convention extends its hearty thanks to Mayor M. R. C. Smith and other city officials and the citizens of Missoula for the courteous and generous treatment accorded us. Resolved, That we recognize a debt of gratitude which we owe the members of Division No. 1, A. O. H. and the ladies' auxiliary of Missoula for the clever entertainment provided during our stay in their beautiful and prosperous city. Resolved, That we appreciate the association of our sister order, the ladies auxiliary and thank them for the many manifestations of interest in our order, and pledge to them our support whenever and wherever needed. Resolved, That we tender special thanks to our able and energetic state president, D. J. Hennessy, for his untiring and unselfish efforts in behalf of our organization, which in this state owes him an undying debt of gratitude. Resolved, That the press of the state, and particularly that of Missoula, has been generous in the publication of matter in connection with this convention, and we now desire to thank them therefor. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM K. DWYER, Chairman. M. DONLIN. WILLIAM J. KELLHER, J. P. REGAN. T. J. KELLEY, JOHN J. DOOLEY. JAMES McKELVEY, E. C. MULRONEY. ### Social Events in Evening. The evening session was given over to social enjoyment. At the Greenough pavilion a reception was held and refreshments served. Afterward there was a dance at which the members of the A. O. H. and the ladies' auxiliary were the guests of hon[o?]r. This was one of the most pleasing events which has taken place in Missoula in many months. The Esmay orchestra was in attendance and the event was thoroughly enjoyable, the mem[b?]ers of the local orders vieing with one another in showing every courtesy and attention to the guests. Free transportation was provided by the local order from the hotels to the pavilion and return and if there was anything overlooked that would add comfort to the visit of the delegates, it was the veriest of oversights. ### The Ladies' Auxiliary. The ladies' auxiliary of the order was in simultaneous session in Elks' hall throughout all of yesterday. State President Mrs. J. D. Murphy of Helena presided at the meeting, all of the other grand officers being present. The day was consumed by the reading of reports of officers and in attending to the preliminary work of the organization. The insurance feature is another matter which is receiving attention from the auxiliary order and it is thought that it is likely to be reported favorably by the committee this morning. In all probability all of the present officers will be re-elected. ### Ladies in Attendance. The delegates in attendance of the meeting are as follows: State President Mrs. D. J. Murphy, State Vice President Mrs. T. H. Sealey, State Secretary Mrs. Mary Brennan, State Treasurer Mrs. J. C. Murray.

Pullman, Wash., Aug. 25.—As an outgrowth of the killing of an unknown man by a freight train here last night, a lively setto occurred between City Marshal Holt and Coroner Crawford. The coroner came to investigate the death, but refused to hold an inquest on the ground that Marshal Holt exceeded his authority in removing the body from the railroad track before the coroner arrived. The marshal and coroner had a dispute over the proper method of handling the case, which ended in Marshal Holt ordering the undertaker to bury the body. Coroner Crawford returned to his home at Colfax after he had publicly aired his views of City Marshal Holt and Undertaker Palmerton. Nothing further has been learned about the identity of the man killed. In his pocket were cards of the international hod carriers' union of America, issued by local No. 71 of Portland, Ore. One was issued to G. F. Stacey and four others were issued to W. B. Peterson. Undertaker J. M. Palmerton wired to the secretary of the hod carriers' union of Portland asking for information and directions as to the disposal of the body, but has received no answer. The body was frightfully mangled. ### HERBINE. Renders the bile more fluid and thus helps the blood to flow; it affords prompt relief from biliousness, indigestion, sick and nervous headaches and the over-indulgence in food and drink. Herbine acts quickly, a dose after meals will bring the patient into a good condition in a few days. G. L. Caldwell, Agt., M. K. and T. R. R., Checotah, Ind., Ter., writes, April 18, 1903: "I was sick for over two years with enlargement of the liver and spleen. The doctors did me no good, and I had given up all hope of being cured, when my druggist advised me to use Herbine. It has made me sound and Well." 50c.

St. Louis, Mo., Au. 25.—One of the most representative gatherings held in St. Louis during the exposition period is the convention begun today by the American Institute of Bank Clerks. At the opening session this morning the roll call showed that delegates were in attendance from nearly every large city from Boston to San Francisco. The business sessions will continue three days and will be devoted to papers and discussions on topics relating to the work in which the members of the organization are engaged. # MARRIED TWO THOUSAND. San Francisco, Aug. 25.—Trinity Methodist Episcopal church was the scene tonight of one of the most unique gatherings ever seen on the coast—a reception and banquet, and the host of the occasion, the Rev. Dr. John A. B. Wilson. The guests were the couples who have been united in marriage by Dr. Wilson during his career as a minister. During the last nine years he has united two thousand persons in marriage, and most of them were present at the reunion to re-respond [sic] to the toast, "Is Marriage a Failure?" # MISSISSIPPI POPULISTS. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 25.—Delegates from various parts of the state assembled in convention here today in an effort to revive the populist party in Mississippi by naming electors and choosing a new state executive committee. Thomas E. Watson, the populist nominee for president, addressed the delegates this afternoon in the hall of the house of representatives. ## Column 4 # WEST VIRGINIA IS SAFE ## SENATOR SCOTT SEES NO HOPE FOR DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS. GIVES HIS REASONS. Washington, Aug. 25.—Senator Scott of West Virginia, who has been at Republican headquarters in New York, says he can see no reasonable hope on the part of the democrats for a victorious campaign, either in his own state or in the country at large. "In the first place, the campaign has not yet progressed far enough to allow any accurate analysis of the situation that will be presented to us next November when the voters go to the polls," he said today. "But I can not see any possible foundation for any hope on the part of the democrats that they can win in this election. Take West Virginia, for instance, with its record of a majority for McKinley of over 21,000. With conditions in that state prosperous and with republican principles favoring the further development of the state and a continuation of prosperity, how can any one have a reasonable expectation that the people will, at this time, turn to another party that has nothing to hold out to them? ### Unreasonable Contention. "The entire contention is unreasonable. It can not appeal to the common judgment of any one, and to those who know West Virginia and the nature of its development and the relation of that development to the politics of the republican party, the suggestion is not tenable. "Then, too, take the country at large. The democrats can not hope to get back the support they lost in 1896 and 1900, which is generally referred to as the gold element. It may be that a few of the older men who voted for McKinley and who had been lifelong democrats will next November return to the democratic fold and vote for Parker and Davis. But that class forms a very small part of the body of men who were lost to that party. There were thousands of young men in 1896 and again in 1900 whose associations would, under ordinary conditions, have made them democratic, but who, under the conditions that were forced on the party by Mr. Bryan, gave their votes to McKinley. ### Democrats Lose Young Men. "That class of young voters to a very large extent will remain with the republican party. They have been associated with republicans in the early years of their political activity and they will find no reason sufficient to cause them to leave those associations. They are naturally republicans, so far as their business interests are concerned. They are for sound business principles in the administration of the government. They will remain in the party. "The fact is the gold democrats will largely remain in the republican party, just as the greenbackers became republicans after the greenback party broke up. "So far as New York state is concerned I can see no reason for democratic hope there. When the campaign has gone along a little farther it will be possible to point out definitely conditions that will indicate how the voters of the state are leaning, but at this time matters are not sufficiently crystallized to give a reliable forecast." ### Speakers' Bureau. Senator Scott is in charge of the speakers' bureau of the national committee, and in performing that work he has for a long time been closely confined to his desk in New York. Mr. Scott has complete information of the conditions that exist all over the country and knows just where effective work can be done by the large number of speakers who are at the command of the committee. In 1896 and 1900 he gained an intimate knowledge of every section of the country, and that knowledge is now being put to good use in the assignment of speakers. He is pursuing the work of the speakers' bureau with a great deal of energy. He is now feeling quite well, although he has recently been ill at times. He will return to New York in a day or two. ### Worst of All Experiences. Can anything be worse than to feel that every minute will be your last? Such was the experience of Mrs. S. H. Newson, Decatur, Ala. "For three years," she writes, "I endured insufferable pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed inevitable when doctors and all remedies failed. At length I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. I improved at once and now I'm completely recovered." For Liver, Kidney, Stomach and Bowel troubles Electric Bitters is the only medicine. Only 50c. It's guaranteed by City Drug Store, Geo. Freisheimer, Prop. # RICH PHILADELPHIAN DEAD. Philadelphia, Aug. 25.—William Weightman, a member of the firm of Powers & Weightman, manufacturing [ch?]emists, died today, aged 91 years. Mr. Weightman was the wealthiest man in Philadelphia, and one of the largest individual owners of real estate in the United States.

Pomeroy, O., Aug. 25.—During a fight at 1:30 o'clock this mornin [sic] William Carter stabbed and instantly killed Norris Harris. Both men are colored. The wound penetrated the left ventricle of the heart. The trouble was caused by Harris taking the side of Carter's wife in a divorce proceeding brought by Mrs. Carter against her husband. Carter was captured in an old boiler on a barge on the river, where he had taken refuge, about daylight this morning, after being tracked by bloodhounds, and is now in jail.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.—On the day before their contest for supremacy in the prize ring Jeffries and Munroe are resting from the hard work of the last few weeks. Neither will take any severe exercise until the meeting tomorrow night. The articles permit the use of soft bandages which must be put on in the dressing rooms and must be approved by the referee. They are to be permitted to protect themselves in the clinches and breakaways. Jeffries will fight with gloves provided by the club, but Munroe is having a special pair made. Referee Graney will not recognize any towel or sponge thrown into the ring except by Delaney or McCoy, the authorized seconds of the pugilists. As soon as either man goes down the referee will count the seconds in unison with the official timekeeper. The men have been ordered to be ready at 9 o'clock. Betting remains light, with odds unchanged. Both Jeffries and Munroe are ready for the sound of the gong. Each expresses himself fit and confident of winning. The betting loosened up some tonight. A noticeable feature was the increase of Munroe money. The odds remained in the neighborhood of 100 to 35. There was considerable wagering on the number of rounds. The betting that Jeffries would win inside of ten rounds was at even money. Champion Jeffries made the following statement: "I expect to win. I feel that it is in me, but I am not going to take any chanees [sic]. "I don't want to win on a dangerous punch if I can win easier on a decision. I don't care how many rounds it takes as long as I win. Of course if I see the chance to do it safely, I will try to finish the bout as quickly as possible, but I am not going to take any chances for the sake of winning in a certain number of rounds. "I shall go into the ring in the best possible condition and with the intention of doing my best." Munroe said: "I am glad the hard work is over. I am in as good shape as it is possible for me to be. I am confident of winning, notwithstanding the odds and the way the public look at it." # PERSUADED BY A GUN TO LEAVE CLAIM ## Idaho Man Swears Out a Warrant Against Another for Using Too Strenuous Means. Wardner, Idaho, Aug. 25.—A. H. Miller arrived here this morning from his home on Pine creek and swore to a warrant charging John Cole with assault with a deadly weapon. Chief of Police Decker immediately left for Pine creek to arrest Cole. According to Miller, he was cutting some house logs on a mining claim which he states belongs to him, but to which Cole claims the title. After he had finished his work he was talking to a neighbor, when, according to his story, Cole suddenly approached, threw a rfle [sic] to his shoulder when but a few paces away and threatened to blow his head off. Miller asserts that the gun was held pointed at him for several minutes, while Cole abused him for cutting logs on the disputed claim. The trouble occurred about 7 o'clock last night and Miller reached Wardner early this morning and filed his complaint. # SILVERITES BOLT TO POPULISTS ## Unseated Nevada Delegates Organize and New Set of Nominees Will Follow. Winnemucca, Nev., Aug. 25.—Forty-five delegates who were unseated by the credentials committee of the silver convention met at Silver State hall today and organized. They appointed a state central committee and elected officers. Presidential electors were chosen and a platform adopted endorsing Watson and Tibbles.
