KLUAKUS IIAS CERTAIN

LINDSAY ON ELECTION OF STATE

TICKET.

TEN SENATORS ARE SURE

Predicts Large Majorities for Hol-

loway and Dixon-How He

Figures It.

"Joseph M. Dixon will carry Mon-tarla by 2,000 majority and Judge Wil-liam L. Holloway will get 6,000 ma-jority." This is the way ChairmanLindsay of the republican state cen-tral committee "sized up" the politi-cal situation in an interview whichappears in this morning's issue of theMontana Record.

"My estimate gives us 14 out of 26senators, and a good working major-ity of the lower house in the nekt

legislature," said he. "It gives ever:doubtful county to the democrats, and

it places every one over which ashadow of suspicion falls into thedoubtful column. In other words, Iam only counting as republican those

counties which I know as surely as

any man can know on the eve of election, are republican. I believe we

have the state safe and sure."We will elect senators from Cas

cade, Choteau, Fergus, Flathead, Mad

ison, Missoula, Powell, Ravalli, Yel-

lowstone and Valley counties. Of

these I am sure. We stand an excel-lent chance of electing senators inBroadwater and Granite counties. Ifwe prevent the casting of the illegal

vote in Rosebud county, we will electour senator there And I got advices

from Butte today which state we will

surely elect the senator from SilverBow. In Teton county I have everyfaith. This elects ten out of the six-

teen new senators for us at the veryP least. And I firmly believe that, in

the counties which I have named last

but have not included in the list I

deem as certain, we will win out."Members of the lower house will

be republican from Carbon, Cascade,) Choteau, Dawson, Fergus. Madison,

l Missoula, Powell, Ravalli, Sweet

Grass, Valley, Yellowstone and

Meagher counties. We may lose onerepresentative in Custer county. Thedemocrats have centered all theI strength on one candidate there. Inp Lewis and Clarke we will elect a ma-

jority of the legislative ticket. Asis the case in the senatorial question,

IRosebud is doubtful on the lowerhouse.

"These are calculations made fromwhat I deem as certainties. They

are guesses. Everything is a guessuntil the last ballot is counted. Butthey are, so far as I am concerned,faithful guesses based on facts. Theyleave out everything of which 1 amin the least doubt. You will noticethec l!ct sc; republican several coun-

ties which went democratic two yearsago. In all these, and in others whichI do not count, a great change of senti-ment has come.

"The situation is Ihis: The people

have learned that the republican par-ty stands for clean politics. Theyare sick of the boodle and coercion

methods of the past few years. Theysee the democrats practicing these

again today. They are going to vote.in many cases, regardless of former

political affiliations, for the partywhich stands for clean government."

ARREST MORE GHOULS.

Indianapolis Policce Catch Two Ad-ditional Grave Robbers.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 2.-JohnMcEndree, the alleged leader of agang of white grave robbers, was ar-rested in Martinsville last night. Thedetectives ,say he is implicated equal-ly as much as Rufus Cantrell, SamMartin and other negro ghouls now injail.

McEndree was brought here this af-ternoon and confessed he had beengrave robbing.

When asked how many timeswhe hadbeen out with a gang he said:

"Oh, I've made about 20 trips.".He said he got the bodies from dif-

ferent cemeteries about Indianapolisand disposed of them at three of thelocal colleges.

Albert Hunt, a negro, was arrest-ed here today. After a cross-exami-nation at the police station he admitt-ed accompanying Cantrell, Martinand others on a grave robbing expedi-tion to a cemetery near Bridgeport.

GOES WHEREDANCER LURKS

COMMISSION INSPECTS MINE

FILLED WITH GAS.

NO DATES AS YET r ED

Time and Place for Beginning Hear-ings Not Decided Upon by

Arbitrators.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 2.-Themembers of the commission arrived

here from Scranton at 9:30 o'clock

yesterday morning on the Delaware

& Hudson railroad.The morning was very foggy, which

shut out from view the mining townsin the Lackwanna and Wyoming val-leys. When the special train arriv-ed here it was switched to the tracksof the Lehigh Valley railroad and tak-en to North Wilkesbarre. There thecommissioners were escorted into theDorrance mine of the Lehigh Valleycompany, where the morning wasspent going through the workings. Inthe afternoon the party were takenon a special trolley car to the min-ing towns of Ashley and Sugar Notchfor ,a view of the mine workers'houses.

On their return to Wilkesbarre thecommissioners again boarded theirtrain and went to Plymouth, on thewest bank of the Susquehanna river,one of the largest mining towns inLuzerne county. Aftei'. a tour of theplace the commissioners returned toScranton.

No Date Yet Fixed.Judge Gray said that no time has

been fixed for the starting of the hearings, nor has any place been definite-ly selected for holding them. Hear-ings probably will be held in NewYork and Philadelphia, but the pub-lished report that he has arrangedplaces of meeting is incorrect.

It is not known to the commissionwhen the president of the UnitedMine Workers will present his state-ment. No hearing will be held to re-ceive it. The statement will be hand-ed to the recorder of the commissionin about the same manner as a legalpaper is filed with the clerk of a court.

After the party had reported at theProspect shaft of the Lehigh Valleycolliery, it was decided to go downthe Dorrance because more veins ofcoal could be seen. As it was AllSaints Day, a church holy day, therewere fewer miners at work than us-ual. The commissioners were lower-ed into the pit, which is about 850feet below the surface, at 10:45o'clock.

The Dorrance is a very gaseousmine and on this account each mem-ber of the party was compelled tocarry a safety lamp. Going throughthe workings a fire boss whose dutyit is to see whether there is any ac-cumulation of gas anywhere, preced-ed the party.

A mule driver named Ralph Evansmet his death in the Dorrance lastnight by falling into the "sump." Thisis a pool into which the hot steam1 from exhaust pipes empties.

LEFT TO AWFUL FATE.

Part of Crew Abandoned on Burning

Collier.

San Francisco, Nov. 2.-Forty-fiveJapanese, powerless to escape from aburning steamer, were rescued by thetransport Crook on her outward voy-age from this port. News of the res-cue reached here on the transportSheridan.

The Crook left here on September16, bound for Manila. On October 10,when off Van Dieman straits, a steam-er flying distress signals was sight-ed. The vessel proved to be the Jap-anese collier Yoshimi Maru, and wason fire. The Crook altered her courseand headed for the burning vessel.When she arrived within hailing dis-tance the flames were beyond controlof the crew, and were coming fromthe hatchways.

The Japanese were hanging overthe sides of the vessel, being unableto stand the heat on deck. All wererescued by the crew of the Crook,and were taken to Nagasaki.

The Japanese stated that at thefirst sign of fire the Chinese mem-bers of the crew launched the boatsand left the Japanese to fight the fireunassisted. The Yoshimi Maru burn-ed to the water's edge and then dis-appeared from sight.

WALL STREETWANTS COLER

MONEYED CIRCLES ANXIOUS TO

"DO" ROOSEVELT.

WORK OF TRUST MAGNATES

Part of Plan Outlined for the Election

of "Safe" Democratic

President.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Reliable wordcomes from New York city today to

the effect that the republican man-

agers of the state campaign there

are very tearful that Odell will bedefeated for governor. The most re-liable polls indicate Odell's electionby not to exceed 20,000 votes, whichmargin, in a state as large as NewYork, amounts to nothing, and is anadmission that the republicans, whomade the polls, are very uncertain asto the result.

The election of Coler would be apersonal triumph for David B. Hilland for the gold democracy. Theyhave been in full control of the NewYork campaign this year. Free silver and Bryan have not been men-tioned, and Bryan was not invited toparticipate.

Coler's election, in a pivotal statesuch as New York, would tend to di-rect the democratic party towardsthe old Cleveland ideals, and wouldmake him or some man of his stampa formidable candidate for the demo-cratic presidential nomination.

It is believed in Washington thatthe Wall street interests that havebeen opposing Rosevelt have madeup their minds that his nominationby the republicans cannot now beprevented, and that the next bestthing is to reconstruct the democ-racy, put in charge of leaders who

were discredited on the rise of Bryan-ism, nominate some "safe" man forpresident and go into the campaignto win.

To this end, it is said here on high

authority, that Wall street has beenfurnishing campaign funds to the NewYork democracy this year in unus-

ual amounts. Coler's candidacy hasbeen favored by the financial inter-

ests because of the effect his elec-

tion would have upon the presidentialcampaign. Should Coler win, and thedemocratic nominee in 1904 be a

"safe" man, money for the democratic

presidential canvass would be poured

out like water in the hope of defeat-

ing Rbosevelt and showing that the

country does not indorse his vigorous

anti-trust policcy.The president is taking the liveliest

interest in the New York situation and

is keeping an eye on Pennsylvania

also. A republican slump in those

states will be turned to his disad-

vantage, if possible. It was the seri-ous character of the outlook whichprompted him early in the week to be-

gin sending telegrams to republicanleaders in Kansas, Nebraska, Wash-

ington and Pennsylvania to get to-

gether and sink personal differences

in an effort to secure republican vic-

tory. Telegrams have also gone into

New York state by the score to re-

publican leaders, apprising them of

the serious view which the president

takes of the situation there and urg-ing them to redouble their efforts.

The election of Coler would be the

beginning of an attempt along newlines to make trouble for Roosevelt.

MAY BE THE ROBBER.

Prisoner in Some Way Connected

With Drummond Robbery.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-In the arrest of a

man giving the name of Walter Ryan,

the South Chicago police have a

problem to solve. The man appears

to be unbalanced. In his possession

was found a copy of a Cleveland pa-

per in which was a marked report of

the holdup of the Northern Pacific

passenger train near Drummond,Montana, on October 24. This Ryan

held in his hand when arrested.

An endeavor will be made to con-

nect the man with the holdup. The

stranger is suffering from a severe

knife wound in the head. At times he

seems rational and at one time ad-

mitted that he was once in Drum

mond, Mont.

Captain Shippy says he will have

the man examined by a city physi.

cian as to his sanity and then the

railroad company will be given an

opportunity to work on the case.

THE LAUUH-INC EYES

A COMMON EXPRESSION DENOT-

ING A BRIGHT INTELLECT.

WINDOWS OF THE BRAIN

Anyone Should Feel ComplimentedWhen Spoken of as Having

Bright Laughing Eyes.

The eyes besides being a key toone's disposition and character canalways be depended upon for a trueexpression of the brain that illumi-nates them.

A dull eye, a dull intellect A brighteye, a bright intellect. Now when theeye is not properly formed, being ofunequal curvature in its differentmeridans, (like a photographer's cam-era with an imperfect lense) no pic-ture can be perfect. The eye is sim-ply a camera and when defective, thepictures formed upon the brain aredefective and distorted, therefore, thebrain naturally becomes distortedand diseased.

There is no excuse for any one togo through life seeing things imper-fectly when glasses can be groundto make the most imperfect eye seeand act exactly as do the most nor-mal. "

My offices in Butte will be ready formy occupancy next Monday. This willtherefore be my last week in Billings.

I For the benefit of those who are inneed of my services or in doubt abouttheir eyes, I will say, come and letme examine them and find out theirtrue condition and I will keep a rec-ord of your case so you may orderglasses from me at any time if youneed them and it is not convenientto order them now. I further wish tosay, that if there is anyone who iswearing my glasses and not perfect-ly satisfied, if they will call I will re-fit them or refund their money.

TO PREVENT FRAUD.

How Official Ballot Is Guarded inDelaware.

Dover, Del., Nov. 2.--Unusual pre-cautions are being made to protect theballots to be used in Delaware nextTuesday.

When the official ballots were de-livered by the printer to I he countyauthorities in Sussex last night arm-ed guards were stationed over themand were sworn to preserve the bal-lots from theft or damage or tamper-ing. In Kent county the ballot boxes

I were piled in a fireproof room whichis practically impenetrable.

In this manner the ballots will beprotected until Monday, when thework of distribution to the variouselection boards will begin. Two bal-lots for each registered voter will bedelivered to each inspector, while tworeserve ballots for each elector willbe kept by the clerk of each county.

Each district's ballots are in a seal-ed pasteboard box, fitted within thewooden ballot boxes, and must onlybe opened in the presence of the en-tire election board on Tuesday morn-ing.

WHIPPED EACH OTHER.

Two Negroes Save Themselves from

Going to Jail.

Charleston, S. C., Nov. 2.-In Ander.son county yesterday two negroeswere caught in the act of robbing afarmer, and rather than go to jailthey offered to accept any punish-

ment the farmers might inflict. Themen were taken into a field and strip-ped to the waist. There is no whip-

ping post law in South Carolina, butthis did not interfere with the plansfor the lashing. Each man was givena buggy trace, and they fought eachother until the blood began to flow.A big crowd gathered to watch theduel of whipping.

A neighbor of the man who hadbeen robbed' acted as referee and

made the negroes break clean whenthey clinched Under .the rules thecontest had to continue until one ne-gro had given the other 100 lashes.-Foul tips were not counted. Finallyafter a desperate fight the referee

lifted his hand' as a signal to stop.The man who suggested the whip-ping had given his enemy 100 lashes.He got 75. They were in bad shapewhen the fight ceased, and went offto bed. No arrests were made..
