Tt'ESDAY.MlVr.MHKK H. is:u,
Ifany man toll* you to-day that^Anaconda has withdrawn, tell him be^is ^ liar and then vote for Anaconda.
Bum will stint it.
Butteia all right !
Anacondawill get at the polls to^^day a round majority of Unite'a total^vote.
Thiscity has made astonishing gains^in Untie within a week.
Anacondais btriking right out for^first place in the race, and Huttc's big^vote is going- to send this city right to^the front.
ThoseButte men who went to Mis-^soiilti did not dare to tell the truth^about Anaconda's solid strength in^Mlver liow county.
Inthe city of Ittitto today more^than six thousand crosses will be^marked opposite Anaconda's name.
Hutte'slabor vote is as solid as a^rock for Anaconda.
Thevoters in Ittitto are too clever to^be caught by the Helena ucents. A^vote for Itutte is a vote for Helena,^liutle will vote for Anaconda.
Thismorning Anaconda's name is^^t the top of the list. To-night, when^the vote is counted you will Hud that^Anaconda is at the top of the heap,^(let in line with the winner* and vote^for Anaconda.
ATTHt BALLOT BOX^On Tuesday, August 2rt. this city^made formal announcement of its can^^didacy for the capital- the inaugura^^tion of the movement wai the out^^come of several informal conferences^in which many citizens of Anaconda^took part. The word then sent out^was that this city had faith in its^ability to make a good light and that^its people would by every honorable^means try to be the w inner of the con^^test.
Ileer Lodge had already announced^its candidacy. The city of liutte hail^been talking itself up in an indifferent^way. I ^eer Lodge manifestly failed to^secure cordial assurances of support^in liutte. A conference of west-side^cities was proposed. I leer Lodge^favored it.
Anacondaat length approved of this^plan, anil the Si ANDAliD pledged this^city's willingness to yield to the decree^of the proposed coherence. Hull*^was out-and-out in opposition to any^consultation with other west-side^cities, and tl.e t^Iau fell through.^Thereupon. Anaconda declared her in^^tentions. Her candidacy was received^with conspicuous evidences of ap^^proval and her campaign has been^kept up w ith unremitting earned nes*.
Atthe tune when Anaconda entered^the lists Helena was everywhere at^work. The temporary capital was ar-^fB|M about it, UM Helena people pro^^claiming that there wasn't a doubt in^the world about a big niajoritv over^all on the lirsl 1 allot. The talk in Hel^^ena and for Helena was to the effect^that it was a piece of impudence on^the part of Anaconda or any other city^to undertake to interfere with Helena.^After a little, however, the people M^Helena changed their tune. This city^broke down UM strength of the tempo^^rary capital and put the city of Helen*^sipiarely on the drlcnsivc before the^light was ten days old.
Lateron. liutte was somewhat^aroused, ami in the active candidacy^of liutte, licit ua discovered its one^way of escape from complete defeat at^the hands of Anaconda. That the city^of liutte has been supported, hi some
measureby citizens there who have^been perfectly sincere about It, the^Staxdaud docs not deny. Their^motives have never been impugned^in tbeae pages. But that Hel^^ena has been a most effective^agent in the effort to crowd Butte^into place is the notorious truth^^Helena's motive was to weaken An^^aconda, and the surprising spectacle of^the canvass has been the zeal with^which Helena has encouraged liutte.
To-day'svote will demonstrate the^fact that Helena blundered in trying^to force liutte. Anaconda will be a^winner to-day and one of this city's^strongest helpers will be the city of^liutte. Anaconda will get a majority^in Silver How county; Butte will be^thousands short of a place in the race.^This morning Anaconda steps up to^the ballot box in-the complete-it confi^^dence that the count of votes will^bring her home a winner.
Anyamount of money has been^offered within live days that Butte^would not get a place in the. capital^^ace, and the members of the Butte^cupital committee have not matched^one dollar of it. The city of Hutte will^give the generous majority of its vote^to-day to Anaconda for the capital.
FALSETESTIMONY FROM BUTTi.
Latelast night the report was circu^^lated in Billings that Anaconda had^withdrawn from the race. A dispatch^was sent from Hillings to Butte asking^if the report was true. The answer^sent from Butte was that the report^was true and that: Anaconda had^withdrawn.
Somewhatlater Anaconda received^an inquiry on the same subject, with^the information added thai the Helena^boomers were making the most of^Anaconda's alleged withdrawal.
Atthe very monr.-nt when Butte sent^word thai Anaconda had withdrawn,^the bets in Butte were two to one that^Butte would not get a place, and offers^up to ten thousand dollars that Ana^^conda would ka a winner had no taki rs^in the city of !.ut.;e.
Lockout for the campaign liar.
l*utan end to-day to titc city of Hel^ena's pretentions by giving yoervof.^for Anaconda for the capital. This^city ia the sure winner.
Carefulinvestigation info the regis,^(ration of the chief cities of the^country shows thu the domm rat ic^wards have done best by fa:-. New^York city's total registration was liif.i,-^HOO, or about 11,000 less 'ban It was ex^^pected to lie. This short a. e of Hum^is distributed through the republican^quarters, the democratic sec ions all^having kept their end up to the point^antic - put ed. The same state of things^holds true in Chicago. Brooklyn,^Buffalo and ( inciiiiiati. From this it^follows thai republican apathy mani^^fests itself this year largely ui neglect-^Mi to register. The same phenomenon^exhibits itself throughout the rural^precincts generally.
DONOT HELD THLM^Tl.e Staxdaud hi's given ample^warning against the fraudulent report^that will be hawked at many of the^polling precincts to-day. It seiuns as^if every voter in the state had lioen^fully warned on this score, yet it is^possible that, in somequarlei'*,dishon^^est reports wail lind a hearing.
Theseefforts to injure Anaconda^will present themselves in every imag^^inable shape you cannot anticipate^^Mare they will break out or in what^form. Yesterday for instance word^was scut to several points in Missoula^countv that Beer Lodge had with^^drawn from the capital race and de^^clared for Butte. (If course, a denial^by citlr-ens of Ui-er I. ^dge was^promptly sent, but there is no limit^to the lies that will be wired about the^slate to-day.
Bayno attention to the sensational^^tuff that will he sent out to-day. It^will lie a false alarm. .Nothing will^happen to change the situation the^race will lie run on its merits.
Headthis morning's honest report of^what happened when the Butte dele^^gation arrived in that city from Mis^soula vesterday. On a banner wh.oli^thelltittc boomers brought home were^the words: ^Missoula county will give^liutte IJgfJ votes.^ A iriend of Ana^^conda offered then nnd there to let^sIo.mk) that the statement was a lie.^There were no take.*. Then this^gentleman offered to liet that Butte^would not get 1.500 votes in Missoula^county and there were no takers.
INCLOSE QUARTERS
Montana'svote may be a decisive^factor in the settlement of the presi^^dent nil elect ion. It is true that in the^electoral college Montana has only^three votes, yet these three may be Un^^votes that settle it. so snug is the sit^^uation throughout the country.
Itappears to be conceded now that^Cleveland will carry New York, ami,^under ordinary circumstances, this^would be deemed equivalent to an^asMir.iitcctli.it as will be elected. But^the circumstances this year are not^what can I e called ordinary there are^four parlies in the Held and three of^them are of account this year.
Thereare states where the third^party may prove to be an important^factor to day. Some of these states^are usually democratic, others of them^have uniformly l-eeti republican. I'here^is, therefore, an uncertain element In^the light the effect of vvh.ch cannot be^forecast. It might easily occur that^the vote of Mont ma. small as it is in^coinpar.son. would throw the balance^one way or the other.
Kvciv democrat ill the stale ought^surely to take account of this serious
fact.Our own opinion is that since^the hour when Blaine was defeated at^Minneapolis the success of the tteaae-^cratic national ticket has been assured,^as far as Montana ia concerned, and^our judgment ia that the national^ticket will be strengthened to-day by^the fact that the state democratic^ticket is apparently more popular with^the people than the republican ticket^has shown itself to be^although the^indications are that, as far as the state^ticket is concerned, there may be a^division of spoils shown in to-night's^count.
Firstof all, as one of the states of^the American union, in a presidential^year, Montana owes a duty to the na^^tional ticket. That duty becomes the^more impressive in view of the ex^^treme narrowness of tl.e margins, as^they are admit ltd by all candid judges^to be.
Briberywill not be a very popular^pastime in the state of Indiana to-day.^Alter Dudley's blocks of live business^lour years ago the slate adopted a law^which, it is believed, will check repub^^lican vote buying to a large extent. A^man in Indiana may accept a bribe^and even carry out his contract, and^then turn around, sue his briber and^recover in the sum ot ^900, he himself^going scot free. The theory is that^when a man is contemptible enough to^^aU his vote he may be counted upon^a* quite capable r,f turning state's cvi-^denec against his fellow criminal. In^other words, a man who bribes a voter^in Indiana places himself at the mercy^of a conscienceless, mercenary creature^who can get money any time he^chooses by betraying lutn. It is an^interesting experiment in the way of^checking corruption to say the least.
If,as is now confidently believed,^Mr. Cleveland is elected to-day, it will^be due largely to the interest taken by^the business men of ti e country. In^New York city uloiiw nioro than 2D,-
000of the best business men have en^^rolled themselves under the banner of^tariff' reform. The growth of the^movement since Mr. Cleveland was^Mat a candidate fer president is re^^gard! d as one of the remarkahle things^in politics. In lbM at umeeting of the^democratic brsiness men which Mr.^Ctovelnnd and Henry Ward Beecher^addressed, six ilubs were represented.^I., IsjiS twelve clubs tigureJ, and this^showing BJtMoeted much comment. In^tl'.p- campaign twenty-four such clubs^have taken an active part in Cleve^^land's c invi.ss. I'.very commercial ^x-^change. every branch of trade is repre^^sented in tl.e number.

Perhapsentitled to lie considered tho^greatest of ^'x-confcdcrnte ve'tcrans. Gen.^James Longstrcel has figured personally^in many thrilling scenes. One of bis pe^^culiar distinctions is that he was the only^corps commander on either side during^the war to serv e artillery with his own^: bands in an engagement. The incident^, referred to is part of tho unw ritten history^I of Antietam.

West Point, expericncetl by years of active^| duty in the Mexican war and in other^! service as nu officer of the regular army.
j was an excellent artillerist, sighting a can-
was''im- ! l,on * ^'' a* much precision as a pistol or^a musket.
Atthe battle of Antietam. or Sharps-^burg, McClellan sent a strong force against^an unoccupied portion of Longstreet's^line. Tho latter was quick to notice this^movement. Calling to General Sorrell^and Captain Latrotto to follow- lum, Long-^Ktrect galloped to the gap in his line,^toward which point the federals were^advancing rapidly. Two cannon had^boen left there, almost the entire crew of^iMith guns thud or lying desperately^voiiiithd. l^oiigwtrcet instantly dis^^mounted, and. with the aid of Sorrell and^Liitrols'. wtsssjted Ma heavy pieces into^line, double-shotted them, and trained^them on the advancing federal line.^Longstrcct sighted lioth pieces and jerketl^lite lanyards w ith bis own hands. The^eaTotl BBQ teriiaW Both shots went true,^mowing great gap* in the federal line.^Tho pioeM-s were loadcel and trained raj*^idlv, so that again and again the ad ran**^Ml line of federals was broken anil mo^^mentarily hr.lnsl. giving iMsa to nccoin-^piish what Longstreet had in view -there*^establishment ot his own line, concen^^trating nt Me |k^int of attack.
Noticinga group of ttnioooffleers watch^^ing the tight front ^ distant lull. Long-
streetelevated Ms two assess and fired at^them. The shells went Just above the^f roup, la which was McClellan, scatter^^ing them immediately. Unknown then^to the eon federate officers McClellan sent^post haste for one of his beet batteries.
Afew minutes later Lee and Longstreet^were conversing on a high bill to the east^of Sharps burg, near the point from which^Longstreet had been firing. While these^two were talking Gen. U. H. Hiil rode up,^bringing a message to Lee. Longstreet^advised Hill to dismount, as bis^conspicuous appearance on horse^^back might draw the federal^Are. For sumo reason the advice was not^followed. A fow seconds later a puff of^smoke diew their attention for the first^lime to the federal battery which McClel^^lan had just iKMited. The shell, aimed at^Lee, Longstreet and Hill, was well di^^rected. Lee was on one side of Hill, bis^hand resting on the bridle of the letter's^horse. Longstreet was on the^other side of the horse, a few^feet away. The shell struck Hill's horse,^cutting off both legs just below the knees.^The poor brute fell to bis knees and re^^mained in that position with his back at^an awkward slant, while Hill was making^vigorous and very ludicrous, because^necessarily awkward efforts to dismount.^He first threw his legs in the usual fashion^over tbe cantle of the saddle, but in his^haste came near toppling forward over his^horse's head. Lee and Longstreet both^laughed heartily at Hill's position and^hastened to help him dismount. Hill,^throwing one leg over I bo pommel of his^saddle, dismounted without help, and^then joined in the laugh nt his expense.
Thosamoshell from McClellan's bat^^tery, narrowly missing Lee and Long-^street and killing Hill's borse, went on its^way of dest ruction, exploding Just over a^confederate regiment l^hittd the hill,^killing and wounding a considerable nnm-^ber of men.

AUintrult Animal to shoot.^Ill the wilder parts of South America^you ran bag a deer or wild hog almost^any day if you set wisely about it; but^months may pass without even the sight^of a tapir, though you may be in their^haunts continually. You see plenty of^unmistakable three-toed tracks, and now^and again you may hear tapirs^moving in the forest. It is almost^useless to follow tracks or sounds:^| clumsy as tho animals appear, they^I can race through the underbrush^i faster than a dog can follow: and they are^I so keen of sight and scent, nnd so prone^to concealment that even the most ex-^I penoncod hunter rarely catches sight of^one in the daytime, unless by accident.^The best plan is to lie in wait lor them,^as the lithe and crafty jaguar does, by^their drinking and wallowing places, and^this must be done at night. Tapirs are^common all over tropical South and Cen^^tral America, except the thickly settled^regions and the Pacific coast. Natural^^ists distinguish several species, differing^mainly in size and the structure of the^tunics; but they are much alike. All go^singly or in bands of two or three and^feed on fruits and leaves.
