PRIOR IAKING POWDER CO., OHIOAQO.
BELLE HINES IS DEAD
POLICE THEORY IN REGARD TO THE
MANNER IN WHICH SHE CAME
TO HER DEATH.
SPECIAL TO TIHE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Great Falls, Nov. p9.-Without dis
closing how the fire that claimed her life
originated, Mrs. John Berg, better known
as Belle Hlines, or Donnelly, died last
evening in the little ho',oe on the South
Side that was the scene of the fatality
which has puzzled the police. She sank
steadily during the afternoon and even
ing, dying about to o'clock.
Although she was partially conscious
she appeared to be unable to recall how
the lamp camne to set fire to her clothing,
burning her so seriously tht't death brought
relief from great pail.
The story of her life, beginning with
her days in Wisconsin, when she was the
belle of the town and c,'arried well, and
ending in the sad manner told in the
Inter Mountain dispatches, has furnished
a mild sensation. The woman's real name
may never be known, although there is a
man here who claims to know.
Her romantic marriage upon her death
bed to John Berg, with whom she had
been living, furnished another chapter in
the sensational alTair.
Ine police cling to the theory that the
woman was entertaining some friends;
that there had been drinking, and during
the carousal the lamp was upset and ex
ploded, the oil setting fire to the woman.
Just how her companions could have
had the heart to leave her struggling with
her burning clothes adds to the mystery.

SECRETARY MOODY
ON EVANS MATTER
FINDS ADMIRAL NOT UNWORTHY
OF HIGH POSITION IN THE
BISCOE REPRIMAND.
A REPROOF BETWEEN LINES
Moody Lets World Understand That No
Admiral Is Final and that Decisions
lMay Be Reversed.
S Y ASSOCIATED PREIS.
Washington, D. C., Nov. t.).--Secretary
Moody yesterday announced his decision
in the matter of the protest of Paymaster
H. E. Biscoe against the language used
by Rear Admiral Evans, commander-in
chief of the Asiatic station, in review
ing the result of the court-martial of As
sistant Paymaster Nichols.
After ruling that Hear Admiral Evans,
as the convening and reviewing authority
of the court-martial in question, was
within the limits of his authority in criti
cising the finding of not guilty upon the
third charge and pronouncing the sentence
inadequate, and his criticism and ani
madversion upon the court, Secretary
Moody says in conclusion:
"It is not to be itnferred from this de
cision that, although the power of cen
sure by the reviewing authority by courts
martial is clearly shown to exist by an
unbroken practice of many years, it should
he indiscriminately exercised. It is to
be kept in mind that members of courts
martial must be independent in their ac
tion and are not subject to control. It is
to lie regretted that an occasion has arisen
which, in the judgment of the reviewlqg
authority, demanded so severe a censurt
as that inflicted in this case.
"Nevertheless, as the members of the
court must be the judges of the measure
of their duty, so the reviewing authority
must be the judge of the measure of his
duty. While the exercise of the discre
tion of the reviewing authority is uncon
trollable, there is a clear remedy for en
abuse of it. If it should appear in anly
case that, in the exercise of his authority
of reviewing the proceedings of courts
martial convened by him, a coimmander
in-chief had acted capriciously, cruelly,
with evident lack of jldgment'l, or fromn
improper motives; in short, if lie had
shown himself unhtted -to bIe entrusted
with the authority which the law attache.s
to his position, the department has the
power to withhold from him that authority
in the future bly recalling himt from his
station.
"It is. however, considered that in this
instance Rear Admiral Evans has not
shown himself unworthy of the continued
confidence of the department. On the
contrary, in view of the evidence before
the court, without weighing too nicely
the terms of his censure, it is believed
that he was actuated by a high sense of
dutiy and inspired by a regard for the
honor and welfare of the service."
REV. WARMAN DEAD
HPECIAL TO TIlE INTER MOUINTAIN.
St. Paul, Nov. t9.-Rev. Henry War
man of Forsyth, Mont., presiding elder of

Glendive, Nov. s1.-The sad news from

pastor of the M. E. church at Forsyth, is

held here Sunday and he will be buried be
side his wife.
Rev. Mr. Rumohr, his brother-in-law, is

INDIANS CHASE OUT
CLEVER MESMERIST
Flathead Braves Believe He Is in League
With His Satanic Majesty.
Missoula, Nov. sO.--Highly susceptible
to superstition the average Indian does
not take kindly to mesmeric feats as was
shown on the Flathead reservation a few
days ago when a squaw man by the name
of Maillett, who has developed into a sort
of Herman among the tribe, was compelled
to leave the reservation for his life.
As the story comnc .here Maillett, who
had made a study of hypnotism and ines
tmerism to such an extent that if lie found
a willing subject he could perform the
usual feats of a mesmerist, gave a public
exhibition at the Hot Springs on the Lit
tle Bitter Root. The Indians gathered
from far and near.
The subject was a squaw and she proved
to be a good one. l'The mesmerist soon
had her in a hypnotic condition and then
proceeded to put her through the usual
antics. The redskins turned pale as she
began eating imaginary berries off a board
and looked at one another as they saw the
member of their tribe try to ride a stick
as though she were on- a glass-eyed pinto
galloping across the plains.
They became angry at the unseen power
of the hypnotist and decided to make him
move. They classed him as a white devil
and ordered him to go. lie failed to heed
the command and the Indiatn police, fear
ing trouble, carried out the demand of the
braves. The Flathead reservation is ac
cordingly short one hypnotist.

This contribution has come at the right
time, according to Mr. Mantle, as he has
stated several times that there was no way
for Ithel Montana coimmission to maike a
proper mineral exhibit at the World's Fair
exeplt through private contributionls.
Whe snseen by an Inter Mountain repre
sentative today, Mr. Mantle expressed
gratification over the receipt of the tender
f so generous a donation fromn tile Amtl
amatedi company, especially as the local
companies quoted above are among the
strongest and largest in the Northwest. lie
said:
The Montana commission will need at
cast $4,000oo more to make a creditable min
cral exhibit from this state. And I trust
that other large mine owners in Butte and
other parts of the state will come forward
with donations. After a careful estimlate
I find that the commission cannot cover the
absolultely necessary expenses of the ex
hibit, its preparation, insurance, super
vision and protection without coming out
behind at least $(5,ooo. This exhibit in
St. Louis will be even then inadequate as
compared with the resources of the state.
And the commission is using all safe
guards possible against any but the nost
economical expenditures."
lPresident Mantle reports that the build
ing is under construction at St. Louis,
aOýo that the special agents over the state
afe reporting rapid progress.
F. W. Taylor of St. Louis, chief of the
World's Fair Department of Agriculture
and Horticulture, has returned from his
trip through the western part of the state
and stated to an Inter Mountain represen
tative yesterday that he was delighted with
Montana,
"I go back to my work in St. Louis with
a gilt-edge opinion of the people of your
state and you can assure them that I
think Montana one of the wonders of this
whole country," he said.
"From all that I have seen in the way
of agriculture and horticulture in the state
I feel asured that the world will be sur
pised at the exhibits to be made in the
dipart ment s.
"It is the ambllition of the Rocky Moun
tain states to prove to the sightseers at the
World's Fair that something more than
copper and gold can be made a product
of these states, and as one of them Mon
tana's exhibit in grains and fruits will
have such as will paralyze Eastern people
with surprise.
"But I understand from Senator Mantle
that the state is to have a fine educatio al
exhibit also; this, too, will be a great stir
