JAPAN'S ONLY NATIONAL HOPE
IS IN GETTING KOREA.
HER DEADLY FEAR OF RUSSIA
Teeming Millions of Brown Men Need
Homes Outside Tlieir Island Xing
ora—Korea the Natural Outlet, and
r'hey Muse Have It—The Czar's
Rule Would Be a Menace.
(By Associated Tress.)
Yokohama, May 11.—Since the back
flown of Russia by which she has lost
Immensely in her prestige in the Orient,
matters have resumed their normal
course, though Japan's distrust of the
northern power still remains in as full
force as ever and the nation dots not in
the least relax its vigilance in watching
every move of the Muscovite.
None save those who have long resided
in Japan can form any conception of th ;
strength of the national sentiment re
garding Korea. The Japanese people
have been taught for centuries that th?
destinies of the two countries are indis
solubly united, and the conviction of th-.s
Is not only ineradicable, but has become
part and parcel of the patriotic enthusi
asm which is the nation's life. More
over, the tide of immigration has flowed
iin a large volume to this peninsula.
Which is recognized as the Only field in
View of the growing restrictions upon
the influx of Asiatics in the west.
Japs Must Have Room.
Japan now has a population of 45,000,
000 upon a surface less than that of the
Atlantic states of America, and it being
à mass of mountains, only one-twelfth
of the soil is arable. Korea, therefore",
ibecomes an absolute necessity ln th«
near future as a field for emigration,
apart from the fact that its possession
by Russia would be recognized as a
mortal menace to the islaniï empire. It
may, therefore, be readily imagined that
this nation's patience is liable at any
moment to be exhausted by Russia'
diplomatic policy.
The official census of foreigners in th'o
department made last month shows a
Very large increase in the American pop
ulation, as also in the German contin
gent, plainly indicating that the British
preponderance in the foreign business
of the country will soon become a thing
of the past.
PHYSICIAN CAUSED TROUBLE
His Professional Visits Otherwise
Styled by a Husband of
Seven Days.
Proofs were heard by Judge Clancey
today in a rather sensational divorce
Suit and at the close of the proceeding
the plaintiff walked off with a bill of
divorce in his possession. The parties
to the action were E. M. Houston and
Mertie Houston, the former being the
plaintiff.
Houston charged his wife with infi
delity. He said he was married in Hu
ron, South Dakota, October 23, 1S94, and
that seven d ays later his wife broke
the Seventh Commandment with Dr.
Davis, a resident physician. She had,
lie said, admitted her action to him
With the result that he left her.
Mr. Houston had a woman witness
who said tha the Houston's were boad
ing at a hotel in Huron. She said she.
knew the temper of the air of the hos
telry while they were there.
During the hearing the plaintiff's at
torney asked some questions considered
a trifle out of plumb and the judge re
marked: "Don't feed your witness with
a spoon."
DR. RUCKER'S BAGGAGE HEJLD
Will Doubtless Have to Pay Creditors
Before He Secures Possession—
Bona Money Unpaid.
Notwithstanding Dr. Rucker's request,
made through his wife, to Manager Tay
lor of the McDermott hotel, that he ship
tlie doctor's baggage C. O. D. to his
home in Indiana, the hotel people still
retain possession of the personal effects
and unless some one comes to the aid
of Mrs. Rucker in a financial way it
looks as though she will be compelled
to leave the city without the trunks.
Mr. Taylor agreed to ship the baggage
as requested, yesterday, but at that time
he did not know that there were others
who had claims against the doctor.
Hardly had he given instructions to ship
the doctor's effects when the chief of
police appeared and wanted to attach
the articles in order to protect the city
for the license money said to be du?
from the doctor.
' Mr. Sutton of the Family theater
would also like to get his hands on the
trunks to insure payment of the $300
bonds the city treasurer has called on
him to pay over as agreed, in the even
of the doctor's non-appearance ii
court yesterday morning The doctor's
dramatic company would be glad also to
have possession of the grips and other
articles, and thereby insure the payment
by the "cure all" medicine man of theli
salaries, and so it looks doubtful if Dr.
Rucker will secure his articles until a
full settlement is made with his cred
itors in Butte. *
Mr. Sutton had not, up to a late houv
this afternoon, paid the $300 into the city
treasury, but Treasurer Calkins stated
that he would doubtless do so later.
THEY MOV ED JUS T IN TIME
But the Services of the Sheriff Had
to Be Called Into
Requisition.
Judge McHatton, as executor of the
estate of Eliza Morier, applied to Judge
Clancy to-day ior a writ of assistance,
to help him eject three persons, named
Hughes and two others from the lower
floor of the Morier block at the south
eas.t corner of Broadway and Academy
streets. The writ was granted and
placed in the hands of the sheriff until
orders to throw the belongings of the
parties eut of the house, arrest the al
les«4 trespassers and usher them into
court at É o'olook to show cause why they
should not Tte punished for contempt.
Before 8 o'clock arrived, however, the
defendflutf had all left the clock and had
taksu their trap# with them.
A WOMAN AND A BRONCHO
One Ethel Essays to Curb a Bucker
and Is Now Ho ->e
Combat.
A woman with flying dresses and
streaming hair, riding a bucking, rear
ing and thoroughly frightened broncho,
was a sight witnessed by the pedestri
ans on lower Arizona street early this
morning. The climax to the show came
\\l»<?n the horse tried to cross the rail
road tracks a little further down, and as
a result of her foolhardiness, Ethel,
an inmate of a house known as the
Terrace, lies confined to her bed badly
bruised and with her face so badly dis
figuered that her friends fail to recog
nize her. Ethel states that stie will not
be an applicant for a tutu in Buffalo
Bill's M ild West Shows.
The sudden termination of the soiled
dove's spree which she started on this
morning was brought about by a dare
made by a visiting cow-boy who called
at the Terrace and hitched his horse a
few feet down tlie street. The noman
said she could ride the horse but at first
the owner objected.
Persisting in her prowess, to overcome
the most unruly animal, the cow boy
finally said that his horse would surely
injure her but if she thought sue could
ride him, to go ahead.
Without the least hesitancy the wo
man mounted the horse and off they
went. She managed to hold her seat !
for several blocks although the animal
enraged by the fluttering petticoats j
made it a point to touch only the High j
places in the street and finally sue- j
ceeded in landing the troublesome wo- j
man across the tracks wher the brute j
stppped and snorted as if satisfied with j
his work. Dr.--Leggat, who attended |
the woman, states that she is getting
along nicely.
DEER LODGE CANDIDATES.
Clifford and Bigelow Sentenced—A
Precedent Established in the
Former's Case.
John Edward Clifford, who on Novem
ber 21 last, was convicted of grand lar
ceny and sentenced to serve a year in the
penitentiary, wihdrew his application
for a new trial today and Judge Clancy
affirmed the sentence of the jury by or
dering Clifford to Deer Lodge for one
year. A precedent for this county was es
tablished in the case, however, for the
prsoner's time was permitted to com
mence from the date of his conviction,
which will leave only about five more
months for him to serve.
Clifford stole a gold match safe and an
overcoat and when arrested employed W.
W. Likens to defend him. Likens repre
sented him at the trial, and as soon as
the verdict was rendered moved for a new
trial. Subsequently it was charged that
Likens was an ex-convict, having served
four years in the Canyon Springs peniten
tiary for forgery. Disbarment proceed
ings were brought aganst him but Lik
ens got out of the city on a double quick
and left eighteen or twenty prisoners in
the county jail to mourn his hurried de
parture, they having all engaged him as
their legal,representative. Clifford was
one of them.
A short time ago Clifford discovered
.that if he did not get to Deer Lodge pret
ty soon'his time would be out and yet
not commenced; so he employed I. G.
Denny, formerly of Missoula, to handle
his case. The attorney succeeded in
getting the time Clifford spent in Jail
deducted from the penitentiary sentence.
W. H. Bigelow, alias W. H. Wright,
did not fare quite so well. About six
months ago he was convicted in depart
ment No. 2, of grand larceny. The theft
of a team of horses belonging to J. R.
Reed, a liveryman was charged. The
Jury left the punishment to be fixed by
the court.
Notice of intention to move for a new
trial was given by. Bigelow's attorney,
but the time for carrying out the legal de
tails expired without anything being ac
complished- Today Judge Clancy sen
tenced Bigelow to serve seven years in
the penitentiary.
Bigelow is now 53 years old and will be
nearly 60 when his time expires.
THE COMING ATTRACTION
In another column Hennessy's Big store
announces for the coming week, com
mencing Monday, a big bargain sale of
men's underwear, hosiery, shirts and
gloves.
Hennessy's front windows, filled with
these goods, are creating great excite
ment on Main street.
The several lines are all new, they're
good, they're attractive and the low
priced tickets make them doubly so.
Hennessy's big store has had several
successful sales this season and it looks
as if this sale of men's furnishings will
be right in line with tthe best of them.
Hundreds of men already know of it
and the rush for bargains on Monday will
be immense- Shop early and often. It
pays to trade at Hennessy's.

A New Trial Denied.
The defendant's motion for a new trial
in the condemnation! suit of the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing company, against
the Butte & Boston and the old Colony
Trust company was presented to Judge
Clancy today and overruled. The action
involves the use of ground owed by the
defendants which F. A. Helnze desires
to use as a dumping ground for slag and
tailings from his reduction works.
All Over But the Decision.

against F. Augustus Helnze. an action
having as its object the quieting of title
to the leases and bond on the Minnie
Healy mine, was completed in department

Boston & Montana's Protest Sus
tained by Clerk of Supreme Count—«
Must Be in Legal Shape. , ,j
(Special to Inter Mountain.)
Helena, May 11.—The Boston & Mon
tana company, by a letter from Fortiisf
& Evans, its attorneys, today filed pfo.
test against the approval and filing of
the $350,000 bond given by the DelaW4*(i
Surety «company for the M mtana Ore
I urchasing company in the Pennsylvania
case.
The reason given is that the surety
company has not compiled with the laws
of Montana regarding surety companies,
and has no authority whatevet to trans
act any business or enter into any con
tracts within the state. It is alleged
that the surety company has not com
plied with the provision of the law
that any surety company or foreign cor
poration before doing business in the
state must file, with other papers, a.
statement, verified by the oath of its
president, and setting forth tha facts
contained in Section 1030 of the Civil
Code. This surety company has not filed
a statement verified by the president
secretary or any one else, either with
the county recorder of Silver Bow or
with the secretary of state, and there
fore has no authority to transact busi
ness in the state. This protest is backed
by the affidavit of L. O. Evans, and it is
stated that the Boston & Montana wilt
hereafter make other objections and ex
ceptions.
The Delaware Surety company also
failed to file with the state auditor
detailed financial statement as required
by law, but Auditor Calderhead oveiâ
looked the matter, collected the fee,
issued a license to do business and gäbe
A. B. Clements, the agent, a blank to bp
sent east to be filled out.
For the reasons stated by the Boston
& Montana, as well as this reason, Clerk
Rickerts of the supreme court is in doubt
whether to approve the bond, and WIR
take legal advice. He denies the state
auditor's right to issue a license uhtiV
the company has fully complied with the
law, but is in doubt whether he can go
behind the face of the record in th,^
matter.

STRYCHNINE IN THE SALT
But Its Presence Was Suspected and
a Chemist Did the
Rest.
Constable Zimmerman of Justice Tay
lor's court, at South Butte, is carrying
a warrant for the arrest of John Miller
on a charge of assault 1n the third de
gree on Fred Mann.
I Miller and Mann met Thursday morn
ing in an Arizona street butcher shop,
and the former asked the latter if his
Same was Mann. Receiving an affirma
tive reply, Miller, It is said, planted a
blow on Mann's eye and fled,
i Back of the proceedings there is a
fjtory of domestic trouble. A few years
ago Miller and Mann's wife were hus
band and wife. They resided in Helena
where Miller was employed as the pi'ot
of a beer delivery wagon plying between
« brewery and various retail ports. I\1 fi
ler and his wife quarreled, it is said, and
she secured a divorce on the ground of
alleged cruelty. Then she cajne to Butte,
and a few months ago was married to
Mann.
Miller learned of the marriage and
came to Butte for the alleged purpose
of taking a fall out of Mann. He took
it, it is said, and Mann had a complaint
issued for his arrest, but the constable
in possession of th? warrant has not
been able to locate the accused.
When Mann called at the office of Jhe
county attorney he was accompanied by
his wife, who displayed an analytical
test of the contents of some table salt.
The analysis was signed by a Helena
chemist, and the test showed that what
was supposed to have been pure salt
was a mixture of salt and strychnine.
Mrs. Mann expressed the belief that the
salt had been poisoned for the purpose
of killing her. She suspected the pres
ence ,of sojne foreign substance in it and
refused to touch it.
She also displayed some clippings from
Helena papers in which it was stated
that after she secUred her divorce from
Miller an attempt was made to burn
her house. She also claimed that Miller
would have stabbed her with a knife
-while walking along a street in Helena
had it not been for the interference of
a policeman.

"Poor
Health «
Is the worst kind of poverty. However
rich a woman may be, if her health is
"poor" she is poor indeed. She has no
appetite for food and the choicest dishes
, cannot tempt her. She turns and tosses
through a restless night on a couch
which might woo an empress to slumber.
She has no strength for household cares,
no delight in social pleasure. She sits
"perked up in a glistering grief wearing
a golden sorrow." She is a wife and
mother. But she has no happiness in
either relation. She knows her husband's
life is set in tune and time to the minor
music of her own misery. If her child
laughs 'or crics her nerves quiver with
pain.
Ask such a woman if she would like to
be well; to be her husband's comrade,
her child's playmate. Could there be
but one answer ?
{ Such a woman can get well if she will.
All her symptoms indicate a diseased
' condition of the delicate womanly or
.gauistn. Cure that condition and the
woman will be lifted up to the full en
joyment of health.
In ninety-eight cases out of every hun
dred Dr. Pierce 's Favorite Prescription
.will cure womanly diteases, will restore
the womanly health. It has cured tens
lof thousands of women many of whom
had been given up by physicians and
' friends. It is essentially a medicine for
woman's ills. It dries enfeebling drains.
It heals inflammation and ulceration. It
cures female weakness and bearing down
pains. It tranquilizes the nerves, re
•stores the appetite and gives refreshing
sleep.
"Favorite Prescription" differs from
almost all other medicines put up for
woman's use in that it contains no alco
hol and is entirely free from opium, co
caine and all other narcotics. It is in
the truest sense of the term a tem
perance medicine.
A Constant Sufferer •
"I had been a constant sufferer from aterine
disease for five year»," writes J. A. Steorta, of Van*
kee Dam, Clay Co., West Virginia, "and for six
months previous to taking your medicine I was
not out of my room. Coma not wsik or stand,
as there was such pain and drawing la left aide
and bearing down weight in region of uterus,
accompanied with soreness. I suffered con
stantly with headache, pain in back, shoulders,
arms and chest; had palpitation, nervous prostra
tion, constipation, aisxiness, ringing ia ears:
could not sleep, and breathing was to difficult at
times I could not lie down. Words fail to de
scribe my sufferings when I wrote to you for
advice. In a short time I received a kind letter
from you telling me I would be greatly bene

Pierce's Favorite Prescription, when I had taken
one bottle of the 'Prescription,' together with Dr.

I had taken three bottles of the medicine the

200 APPLIC ANTS FOR STARS
Candidates for Police Force Fulling
the 1 Mayor's Rheumatic Leg With
'•*- Might and Main.
There are 200 good, stalwart men, citi
zens of Butte, who believe they wouul
render the city valuable service on the
police force during the encunibancy in
office of Mayor Davey, and each one of
the 200 has put in an application to that
official for one of the 36 places to be
filled at next Wednesday night's meet
ing of the city council. Of course, filing
an application for an appointive office is
an easy matter, but securing the plum
is another item in this "private snap"
game to be looked after, and that is what
the 200 applicants are now busying
themselves with.
Each man of that army of 200 has a
brother, an uncle, or a wife's cousin
with whom the mayor is on the best of
terms, and in order to secure a "lean
pipe cinch" on the Job each of the rela
tives has made a friendly call. Con
gratulations on the recent election are
in order, and then Mayor Davey's trou
bles begin. No wise politician will give
ithe required "lead pipe" to any one, and
Butte's mayor is no exception to the
rule.
Poor man* Just think of all those
"friends" he must be nice to in order to
keep harmony within the ranks of th-.*
party! Think of the wires, all connect
ed with that suffering rhcmatic leg at
the city's chief official, which are using
mercilessly yanked and pulled!
And then think of the trouble that
named and 1M applicants, together with
some three or four hundred string-pull
ers, are disappointed. ' Numerous smalt
hatchets and scalping knives will im
mediately appear and be kept In readi
ness by the disappointed ones, while the
anvil chorus players will get in their
"knocks" on every occasion.
Mr. Davey, however, is not the first
nor yet the last mayor of Butte, and as
those who have gone before him have
Stood it, and as those who are to follow
must stand it, so will he with good grace
smile and say: "Thy will be done."
Meantime, the new men will buckle on
their belts, pin on the shining star and
meander off to the respective beats to
"pinch" the first offender.
