Page overview

A front page of The Butte Inter Mountain, dated Thursday, August 29, 1912, mixing local Butte news, fraternal organisation reporting, and a dominant right-column department store advertisement. The page carries four or five distinct news columns alongside a large display ad for Boucher's clothing sale that occupies nearly the entire right third of the page. Editorial content covers a stolen horse case, a Republican campaign finance controversy, an AOH county delegate selection, a Butte and Boulder fishing club item, and several smaller briefs including a near-death testimonial and a notice for copper camp members. The tone is typical of a busy Edwardian-era American daily: matter-of-fact local reporting with no single dominant crisis story.

Juxtapositions

  • The AOH county delegate story, listing Irish-American fraternal officers bound for Anaconda, runs directly adjacent to the Boucher clothing sale ad promising suits at precisely half price — civic organisation and commercial boosterism sharing the same eyeline.
  • The 'Social Structure Is Threatened by White Slave Evil' brief and the 'Republican Caucus Call' notice appear side by side in the lower right news columns, placing moral panic and party politics in immediate proximity.

THURSDAY, AUG. 29, 1912 THE BUTTE INTER MOUNTAIN. [7?] ## Column 1 # TITUS THE SECOND IN SLOAN STABLE ## There Are Two Claimants to Horse, Which Is Located by Deputy Sheriff. Titus II., the horse alleged to have been stolen from the race track at an early hour yesterday morning by G. W. Russell, is in the Sloan stable, South Main street, where it was placed by Russell, according to the information secured by Deputy Sheriff Tom Mulcahy. It would appear that there are two claimants for the horse. T. E. Price, when he appeared at the sehriff's [sic] office yesterday morning, said he owned the horse, but a telegram received at the sheriff's office this morning from Mackay, Idaho, and signed by J. C. Merritt, stated that he owned it and wanted Russell arrested at once. A watch was kept on the Sloan stable during the night in expectation that Russell would return for the horse, but he failed to put in an appearance and deputy sheriffs have so far been unable to locate him. # MARSHALL BLAMES HIGH TARIFF FOR CAMPAIGN FUNDS Bangor, Me., Aug. 29.—The declaration that the protective tariff is responsible for republican campaign contributions was made last night by Governor Marshall. "Bad as have been the contributions," he said, "and vicious as have been the expenditures of money in the campaigns, worse than all has been the system of protection which has compelled the trust magnates to keep lobbies at Washington, hire lawyers and finance legislators. Is it much wonder, when these accessories are necessary for legislation, that the men who have been held up by public servants should in turn hold up the public? "Opposed to protection and believing as I do that the trust is its offspring, I cannot see otherwise than that the investigation we are about to have with reference [column 2 continues, below the Gets-It advertisement] [advertisement] Your Liver is Clogged up That's Why You're Tired—Out of Sorts—Have No Appetite.

[illustration: two faces, one grimacing above a bunched foot, one smiling above a smooth foot] "GETS-IT Will 'Get' Every Corn You've Got!" At last, a real does-what-it-says corn cure. Nothing like it has ever before been known. Every man and woman who has corns, calluses, warts or bunions ought to try "Gets-It" at once and see how marvelously it works. Quit shaving your corn with a razor. You may draw blood and cause blood poisoning. "GETS-IT" is remarkable because it never irritates or turns the true flesh sore or raw. It can't. It is as safe as water. Stockings won't stick to it. Corn pains stop. The corn or callous shrivels up, comes out. Blessed relief! "GETS-IT" is sold at druggists at 25 cents a bottle, or sent on receipt of price to E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago. Sold by C. B. Hoskins & Co., Butte; Fuller Drug Co., Anaconda; Jensen, the druggist, Butte. to the controversy between Messrs. Roosevelt, Archbold, Penrose and kindred subjects, need never have been held if the system had not been in vogue." # COOKS TO TRY TO PROVE COOKING IS NOT CURSE TO MAN Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 29.—To prove that cooking is an art which can banish dyspepsia, the 350 members of the California Cooks' association will hold an exhibition here in November. They have announced their intention of showing how the poor dyspeptics who have been existing on milk toast can digest Welsh rarebits, T-bone steaks, hot mince pies, bacon and eggs and even corned beef and cabbage with impunity. ### CALL FOR REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

H. elected the following delegates and alternates last night for the state convention, which will be held in Anaconda September 5 and 6. Delegates—Judge J. J. Lynch, James J.

The Anaconda Hibernians and the ladies auxiliary of that city are doing all they can to have everything in readiness for the convention. # BUTTE AND BOULDER FISHING CLUB TO RETURN TOMORROW With the return of the members of the Butte and Boulder Fishing club from the Natural Bridge district on the Boulder river tomorrow probably will come some of the best fish stories of the season. Almost any old thing the "bunch" desires to spring will receive serious consideration, for, as a matter of fact, they have made good in the matter of early promises to friends of trout fresh from their native lair. Perhaps never in the history of Butte have so many fine trout been received from any aggregation as have been expressed during the last two weeks from the Boulder river to Butte by the members of the club. These fish, in four or five consignments, have been distributed to friends, and included among them were some trout of the grandfather size. Those who have been enjoying the sport at the club's quarters at Contact this season are Elias Siegel, John E. Davis, W. D. Thornton and B. E. Calkins. James R. Thomson was detained by business on the coast and could not make one of the usual party. For many years this party has been enjoying a fortnight of fishing in August at Contact, a few miles above the Natural Bridge on the Boulder river. This is one of the finest trout streams in America, and sport has been particularly good this season. # SWEETPEA CARNIVAL AT BOZEMAN DRAWS HOST OF VISITORS Special to The Inter Mountain. Bozeman, Aug. 29.—The sweetpea carnival of the city was in full swing yesterday, with hundreds coming in special trains from all over the state to witness the ceremonies of inauguration and the crowning of the queen. The parade was the best ever held in connection with their annual carnivals. Buglers led the march, with the Montana State band of Butte swinging into line just ahead of the royal float. The queen, Miss Rausie Roecher, was seated on a snow-white float of sweet peas, drawn by white horses. Her two little pages accompanied her, followed by a mounted body guard, [m?]aids of honor and floats. More than 50 coaches were in the parade. A splendid aggregation of enthusiasts from Helena, the Germans of the Saengerfest and the beautiful floral floats were features of a notable procession. ### ALMOST LOST HIS LIFE. S. A. Stid of Mason, Mich., will never forget his terrible exposure to a merciless storm. "It gave me a dreadful cold," he writes, "that caused severe pains in my chest, so it was hard for me to breathe. A neighbor gave me several doses of Dr. King's New Discovery, which brought great relief. The doctor said I was on the verge of pneumonia, but to continue with the Discovery. I did so and two bottles completely cured me." Use only this quick, safe, reliable medicine for coughs, colds, or any throat or lung trouble. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free.

"In the very nature of the case," he said, "the incriminating testimony must come in considerable part from the woman. The jury, of course, must be satisfied of guilt, but if they are so satisfied they should not fail so to find merely because the main part of the testimony is given by the woman. "And if the malefactors under this statute escape punishment because of the incapacity of jurors to administer justice [column 5 continues] ## Column 5 in such cases, normal men and women will despair of the integrity of our social structures'" ### REPUBLICAN PRIMARY CAUCUS CALL—PRECINCT 30.
