LEWISTOWN, August 25, 1894.FKi(:rs COINTY AR•us: In the las

issue of the Montana Democratnotice a publication purporting to ba letter dictated by tLe Helena ('apital committee which, only for the di5honorable tactics employed todeceivthe unsuspecting, a ould not be worth:e of notice but on the contrary woulh

excite laughter, contemplating thstupidity of its author in assuming i

position which is calculated to excitonly wonder that such fools exist timake laughing stock of themselvesSo far as the letter of the Hon. JameFergus is concerned, which the Mon

e in writing 'an not be attributed t4' the influence of money or unworthy

designs. But, on the contrary, I believe they are pure and honorable motives dictated by his views regardless of public comment.

IMr. Fergus is a man who has seeik more years in Fergus county than thi

g editor of the Montana Democrat i.

e years old. He is a man who is worthiof the leadership when the people':

Sinterests are at stake. He is a maie who regards the people's interests ai

Shis own and being recognizes

r as a sound and conservative thinker1I will carry more weight than the Mon

tana Democrat and all the rest of thiLana u'5moCrIL anu aiu Lne rest o1 ulieAnaconda boodlers combined.

The charge made by Mr. Fergus thatthose advocating Anaconda are bood-lers seems to aggravate the writer ofthe letter above referred to and Imight say the editor in chief of theMontana Democrat, as it is dollarsto doughnuts that he himself is itaauthor. And it is an open secret that

he is ratttling boodlers' money; there-i fore the shoe pinches and raises beadsof perspiration on the guilty browi that would put a convict to shame.

Regarding the assumption of Mr. Fer-gus that all who advocate Anacondaareboodlers, we wish to differ with himto a slight degree. There is a class owage workers who in supposed sym-pathy with their cause, regardless ofthe interests of the people at large.will support Anaconda, but asidefrom those and possibly one per centof the substantial element in north-eastern Montana I will conceed thatSMr. Fergus is right and pat him on

Uncle Jimmy."Not wishing to consume toy

much of your time and space apresent, I will now make a briereference to a statement madesomtime since by the Democrat to theffect that a Helena man while in Lesistown made the remark that hecoulibuy all the votes he wanted in Lewistown for two dollars and fifty centsWhy has that man not got a right timake such an assertion when it iswell known fact that a few of her owlcitizens have taken a contract fronMarcus Daly to influence the voterof Lewistown to vote for Anaconda

Now let us pursue this a little fumther and see who these men are. Is inot a fact that they are men who eepouse the cause of purity and moraity? Is it not a fact that they armen who pose as criterions, whoapaths must be trodden in the searefor virtue and manly integrity? Wethen, if such men take a contract tinfluence votes contrary to the intereats of the commonwealth, influentthese votes by a liberal distributioof whiskey and guff, in the name ofbusiness proposition why does naa Helena man have the right to assums he can buy them for two dollarand fifty cents? The assumption othe Helena man is supported by moomorality and common good than thposition taken by Anaconda bootlery. And yet, so says the Democraan editor of a Belena paper had littienoquh braies to try to counterawhat he spposd to be balne. 4

power held by the Democrat by maing an open contradiction of thestalment. We hold that the Helena mihas the longest end of the rope, andhe will step around our way we -talk business with him. We wonrather have $2.50 any time thandrink of whiskey and be corneragainst a brick wall and boreddeath.

Formerly athe mandolins used in this countswere imported fronm ermany asItaly; now nearly all that are usehere-and a great many are used-are made in this country. In tlpast yearand a half or two years tlmandolin has become very popubhere, and its popularity shows rsigns of diminishing. The demanfor mandolins comes from all ovethe country, and it is so great thiwholesale dealers in musical instrments are not always able to keep •with it promptly.

AMATEUR STRONG MEN.

normn Oelsrleba trUger Than baadow.William Steinway a Gint.

I know of four men who do notpose as sons of Hercules, and whoe never made a penny by spectacularexhibitions, who, I think, could holdtheir own with the quartet of for.eign invaders, Sandow, Samson, At-tila and Romulus, in trials ofsht strength. These men are HermanOelrichs, principal owner of theNorth German Lloyd Steamship com-pany; Tea Merchant Harry Buer-meyer, Editor William B. Curtis and

our Piano Manufacturer William Stein-way. Of these Herman Oelrichs,., millionaire and clubman, is the

strongest, and stronger, I firmly be-"' lieve, than Sandow or any of the oth-er professional strong men.

os1 Two of these men, too, could comevery near to giving Corbett or Jack-

r son a trouncing in the squared circle-Oelrichs and Buermeyer. Both of

t. these gentlemen were adjudged bycompetent experts fully capable ofholding their own, even with the

and mighty John L. Sullivan when thatrenowned gladiator was in his prime.If they could do this with the Bos-un tonian, they might go a shade better,ted with the Californian or Australian.

Of this "big four," as I will call them,three-O elrichs, Buermeyer and Cur-tis-were and are as good all aroundng heavy weight athletes as this or any

by other country has ever seen. Ther fourtZh, Stein way, despite his 48 years,

can perform downright feats ofSstrength-not juggling tricks-thatany of the professional strong menwould find it hard to duplicate.

y Once, on a wager with friends at ad private trial, Oelrichs entered a lion's

cage, and properly accoutered for thefray, of course, actually overcameand reduced to a state of exhaustionby his physical resources a full grownmonarch of the jungle. The lion was

no muzzled with a plain leather strap,but was not hampered in any otherr way. Oelrichs thus did better thanSandow. who only dared recently totry with a tame and crippled old lionup at San Francisco.

When John L. Sullivan was in hisprime 10 years ago, knocking outmen nightly in four rounds on hisexhibition tours, Oelrichs offered tomeet the great Bostonian in private

e and give him $10,000 if he (Oelrichs)en- did not best him. Sullivan was not

ul- one whit afraid, but as he was mak-

ing $100,000 a year just then he lis-tened to the voice of his manager,

al- the famous sportsman, Al Smith, andt is determined to take no chances, muchap-to Oelrichs' chagrin.

are Father Bill Curtis and Buermeyermw, rank next to Oelrichs as strong men.rith Another "strong man" in private
