ANACONDA NEWS,
TO COL. O'LEARY'S RESCUE
Members of the Anaconda Bar
Take Action in His Case.
THEY WANT HIM RELEASED
Prepare a Telegram Which They Propose
to Have Forwarded to England-Two
Alleged Answers Received
From Joe Chamberlain.
Woe. deepD. purple woe, prevailed
among th4 members of the Anaconda
bar yesterday when they learned of the
report that Colonel O'Leary was im
prisoned at Roseland as a Fenian spy.
Despite the authoritative information
printed by the Standard that the colonel
was not in Canada at all, such stal
wart members of the bar as J. M.
Self, It. P. O'Brien, J. H. Trippet, J.
H. Duffy and John T. Casey were in
clined to take the report seriously. Ac
cordingly they prepared the following
cablegram to be sent:
"Anaconda, Mont., Dec. .0, 1199.-To
Her Majesty, Victoria, Queen of Great
Britain and Ireland and Empress of In
dia, and to Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
FIer Majesty's Secretary for the Col
ollies: It has come to our knowledge
that our valiant Colonel O'Leary has
.been arrested near Rossland, in your
Dominions of Canada. and is being
driven mad by being guarded and con
fined in a bull pen upon the charge
'of being a Fonian spy. Therefore, this
is to assure ylout that the colonel is a
peaceable, la:ahbiding American citi
zen, is no spy, and is only taking a
pleasure tour, and that If he is per
nitted to return to his home we will
-vouch for his future good behavior to
ward your majesty's government.
'MEMBERS OF THE BAR OF ANA
CONDA.
Later in the day these same gentle
men alleged that ,they had received the
following reply:
"London. Otlice of the Secretary for
the Colonies. Dec. 20, 1899.--To the
Members of the bar of Anaconda. Mon
tana, I'. S. A.: Your message received
and referred. At the behest of the
queen and on your valued assurances,
Colonel O'L.eary shall he allowed at
once to return home. Directions have
been traslnmitted to the proper author
itIes to that end.
"CHAMBERLAIN."
Now that was all very pretty if all
the lawyers had agreed to it. but some
of them produced ths fhollowing widely
different message, which they claimed
they had received:
"Impossible to release Colonel
.O'Leary. Is resarlded as a desperate
man. Has sought to bribe the guards
to permit him to estap-e.
"'(HtAMBERLAIN."
All of which complicates the story.
Among many o'f the younger Irish
Americans and especially among those
who were in the voluntrer army the
proposition to invade Canada has taken
strong bold. While many regard the
whole proposition as a huge joke, there
are many who take It in all serious
ness. They pretdier thant something will
happen in the neat 10 lays to astonish
'the world and to make the British lion
take a reef in his taill.

OUARTERLY CONFERENCE
Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church Held 'Last Night.
FINANCES IN GOOD SHAPE
Superintendents Report Seven Sunday
Schools Closed for the Winter-Meet
ing Held in Parsonage Be
causa of Pastor's Illness.
The regular quarterly conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church Was held in
the parsonage last evening, with a full
attendance of the official board. The
meeting would have been held in the
church save for the illness of the pastor,
Rev. Mr. Cattermole, who was unable to
leave the house.
The conference was presided over by
the presiding elder of the Helena district,
the Rev. Mr. Mills. Mr. Doddington was
elected secretary./ Reports were submit
ted by the superintendents of the seven
Sunday schools of the Methodist church,
the parent school being here and the six
branch schools being scattered all over
the valley. All -these reports were of an
encouraging -character, especially that
of J. H. Egbert, superintendent of the
Lost Creek Sunday school, who Wported
an unusually large attendance for the
past three months. All the superintend
ents reported that their schools were now
closed for the winter and will not be re
opened until the appearance of pleasant
weather.
The stewards of the church reported on
the pastor's salary and the currenst ex
penses of the church. It was shown that
more money came in during the last'
three months than was received during
the same period of 1898, notwithstanding
the removal of many parishioners from
the city. The sum of $150 was reported
paid on last year's current expense bill.
The finances of the church were reported
to be in a most encouraging condiflon. It
was resolved that hereafter the treasurer
shall render to each quarterly conference
a statement of the existing finances of
the church.

Lower Works Firemen's Annual Ball a
Great Success.
The members of the lower works fire
department gave their 11th annutal ball
in A. O. H. hall last night, and It was
an occasion of success as great socially
as financially. Fully 400 tickets were
sold at the price of $1 each. This mon
ey will be deposited in the general fund
of the department; or rather, what is
left of it after all expenses have been
paid will be.
The grand march-"Admiral Dewey"
-was participated in by 200 couples.
It was picturesque beyond .the usual,
because of the uniformed firemen.
Their whiteflannel shirts, collared and"
cuffed and slashed with dark blue and
studded.with bright brass buttons, and
their red-trimmed leather belts, con
trasted strikingly with the more som
bre and conventional black of the other
men and the gay gowns of the women.
The music was made by the Mar
garet theater orchestra. Nothing but
popular and up-to-date pieces were
played-such as "Ole Eph's Vision,"
"Jonah Hangin' 'Round," "My Ann
Elizer" and the like. The orchestra
was led by A. C. Thurston, with
Charles S. Hickey as pianist.
Following is the programme of
dances, which, incidentally, was not
exhausted until after 3 o'clock a. m.:

DISOUISED DANGER.
Hunters sometimes hide themselves in
the disguise of a cow, and thus make their
way into the very midst of the most cau
tious game. The mode of .-
operation is shown in the v-.
picture. In a similar manner consumption
hides itself in the disguise of a throat or
bronchial affection, making its way finally
to the lungs, where the insidious germs eat
away the victim's life. A stubborn cough,
bronchitis and other throat troubles are the
first steps toward this deadly malady. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
prevent consumption, curing every con
tributing cause. Time and time again, it
has cured what local physicians have pro
nounced well-developed consumption. It
makes the stomach healthy, the liver
healthy, the blood healthy. It is a reju-.
venating tonic, which makes the weak
strong; puts ambition into tired people,
puts flesh on thin bodies, and vigor into
sluggish veins. It is a peculiar medicine
in that its properties are preserved in any
climate without syrup, sugar or alcohol en
tering into its composition. It does not cre
ate craving for inj urious stimulants. It is the
personal prescription of Dr. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y., whose widespread expe
rience and success are at the service of the
public without cost. Anybody, anywhere
can consult him free by mail.
"I will write you what Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has done for me." says George
H. Belcher, Esq.. of Dorton, Pike Co., K'.
"Thirteen years ago I was wounded by a ball
passing through my lung. I have had a bad
cough alnmost ever sice with shortnes of breath,
and it was very easy to take cold; the slightest
changeof weather would cause the cough to be
so bad I would have to sit up in bed all night.
Could not eat or sleep at times; was all run-down,
could notwork at all. Afew months ago I began
using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Have not used mnore than two bottles and now
can eat, sleep, and work and I feel like a new
man. I cannot find words to suffllciently recom
mend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, or
tell the good it has done me."
The no-gripe remedy for costiveness is
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
years ago whilte prospecting in the
Twin Mountainmining district of Silver
Bow cohnty, and as a consequence was
a patient at ,5t. Ann's hospital nearly
a year. EHe lost part of both feet, his
nose and'also a part of one'ear.. The
climate of. this section of the country
does not agree with `him because of
the cold, which has caused him great
suffering each winter since his misfor
tune, hence his departure for a warmer
clime.
Mr. Edwards has been superintend
ing the construction of a smelter at
his father's mines in the Twin Moun
tain district for the past few months,
and, having completed his undertak
ing, decided to leave, rather than face
the low temperature of this state.

A very pretty wedding took place
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at
the Cathedral *of the Sacred Heart,
Helena, the contracting parties being

where, in the presence of Rev. Father
Day and a number of friends, they
pledged their sacred vows which united
them in the holy bonds of wedlock. The

with hat to match, and carried flowers.
Thebridesmaid was attired in a brown
cloth suit and also carried flowers.
After the ceremony the bridal party
was driven to .the home of the bride's

FOR FELONIOUS ASSAULT.
Jack Madden Was Arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Walsh.
After a brief and useless resistance,
Jack Madden was arrested on East
Commercial avenue yesterday after
noon by Deputy' Sheriff Walsh, on a
warrant charging hinm with assault in
the second degree. Madden was taken
to the city hall and subsequently was
released on a $50 cash bond. His trial
will. take place at 1 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. It seems that Madden had
trouble with a' Swede named Erick
Isaacson, in the All Nations' saloon.

this led to the issuance of the war

FIGHTING WITH ARCTIC ICE.
Vain Effort to Establish a Trading oun t
to Siberla. ag
From the New York Tribune.
W\Vhile Russia has been constructing a
railway through Siberia and Manchuria
that shall capture much of the traffic
with the Orient that was once conducted
by shipping-and ritrltlsh shipping at that
-England has been 'attempting to open
up trade with Western Siberia by water.
An expedition was fitted out las summer
for the mouths of the Yenesel and ObL.
Five vessels were dispatched on this mis
ston, one at a time, but all departing dur
Ing the latter part of July.
The venture was the fourth of its kind
that has been undertaken within a few
years. But the disastrous result which
has attended it. will probably discourage
any further attempt to establish com
merce with Siberia by sea. One vessel
was wrecked in Arctic waters. Two oth
ers reached London late last month and
the remainder of the fleet was expected
to arrive soon thereafter. The stories told
by the returnlng mariners remind one of
the experiences of those who go in quest
of the pole. Terrific storms, dense fogs,
swift currents and floating ice were en
countered. And only the pluck and skill
of the navigators saved them from a still
more awful fate.
Most of the voyage lay to the north of
the 70th parallel of latitude. After the
fleet had passed North cape it headed for
Kara sea, a region enclosed on the west
by Nova Zembla and one or two adjacent
islands. and on the east by a northward
projection of the Siberian coast. To enter
Kara sea it was necessary to pass
through Yugor strait, which seperatea
the island chain from the mainland. But
70 miles from the entrance on Aug 11.
the fleet met a good deal of ice and fog.
From that time on for fully three weeks
a fierce and continuous battle with the
elements was waeed.
elements was waged.
The Lorna Doone. a wooden vessel
which had been especially strengthened
for this servier went ahead. The Buc
cancer, the Greyfrlars. the Mancestria
and the Arthur folloted. At 9 p. m. It
was deemed best to anchor and when day
dawned again the ships were completely
surroundeld by ice. During the next few
days they were torn from their anchor
age by gales and marine currents. The
cables snapped like wrappiag twine. The
iron and steel vessels were badly dented
about the bows, and had not special fog
signals been pretarranged the fleet would
have been scattered hopelessly. Separa
tion frequently occurred, but the ships
would find each other again. Their pro
pellers remained intact. though they of
tenll proyed unable to drive the ships
against the ice and currents.
From t1 to IX days elapted before the
entrance to lYugor strait was reached.
There then remained the passage of the
strait, tile crossing of the Kara sea and
the turning of a point much farther north
before the mouth of tile Ohi would be
sighted. The Yentsel was still more dis
tant. But the L.orna Doone stranded
nrcar the western end of the strait and
never went further toward Siberia. The
IBuceal.er sotitl by ready to render aid.
The other three ships finally pushed
through to Kara sea on Aug. 29 and an
chored a few ndiles from the western end

to abandon the. Iproject and start back.
Return, howevcr, was not an easy matter.
liardily had t, lthree vessals which had
penetrated lari sea reached the western
cnd of Yutgor strait than they all went
ashore itn a gale.
After 3 hoours the wind changed and
blew off the land. The Greyfriars and the
Arthur came off easily. inasmuch as
they had grounded on soft mud. But the
Mancestria hung for a time on a pivot of
sunken lee. Eventually she was freed
and then the.Lorna Doone and the But
cancer Joined them.
The worst bit of fortune was yet to
come. While trying to get bhyond the
ice belt Into open water the Arthur struck
an iceberg. She was temporarily sepa
rated from her companions at the time,
but a few hours later the Lorna Doons
came back in search of her. By that
time the Arthur's captain had driven her
ashore and had manned his lifeboats. Not
a man was lost, but the. ship was badly
stove and most of her cargo-merchandise
which it had been proposed to exchange
for Siberian produce-was hopelessly
damaged. Only a little of it was taken
off and brought home.
Early in September the Mancestria was
dispatched to London with tidings ana.
the Greyfriars followed closely. Other In
formation leads to the conclusion that
the summer just ended was a particu
larly unfavorable. one for penetrating
Kara sea. but the fate of this expedition
will probably deter others from trying
the same thing for some years to come.
Two of the vessels were laden with gen
eral cargoes and three with tea.
ENERGY FROM SUN AND STARS.
Radiation bf Heat From These Bodle
Imparts Vigor to lien.
From Knowledge.
According to the ordinary view the
sun Is constantly radiating heat in all
directions, and I think it is generally'
supposed that only a small portion of
this heat encounters material bodies at
any distance, however great. If so, the
question arises:
"What becomes of the residue?"
Physical research leads us to believe
that heat cannot be destroyed, but only
transformed: yet many persons seem to
think that this heat vanishes like a
ghost without transformation and with
out producing any effect. This may be
so, but it is so much opposed to phys
ical analogies that we should be slow
to accept it unless on the basis of deft
nite observations, which I think it will
be admitted are not at present forth
coming.
"Nor can we confine the question to
the sun. The loss of radiant heat must
(on the theory which I am row consid
ering) extend to all the stars. A larger
portion of the heat of some of them is,
no doubt, intercepted by other bodies,
but some of it must escape-vanish like
a ghost without transformation-or at
least it is lobing motion, for the supply
of heat may be temporarily kept up by
the conversion of inotion into heat-as,
for example, a bombardment of meteo
rites. But that a good part of the radi
ant heat vanishes, thus lessening the
total amount of force-of heat and its
equivalents-in the universe, seems to
he a common opinion. This theory,
however (for, of course, everything on
the subject Is theory), will strike many
of your readers as unsatisfactory for
physical, not metaphysical or theologi
cal reasons. But if this heat be not lost,
what becomes of it?
If the sun's rays and those of the
stars always met with some material
body, however great its distance might
be, the problem would be solved; there
would be no loss of heat to the universe.
The sun may at present be radiating
more than it receives. and, consequent
ly cooling, but in traveling through
space it may reach other regions in
which these conditions will be reversed.t
But it seems plain that if this be the
case the greater part of the bodies
which encounter the solar heat are
dark bodies. or else that there is an ab
sorption of light and heat by the ether
-as maintained, I believe, by the great
observer, Struve-would equally solve
the problem, for the light and heat
thus absorbed could not be lost, and
would probably be given hack by the
ether to the material bodies in some
manner not yet traced. Otherwise it
would change the properties of the
ether.
A third possible alternative is that
radiation, like gravitation, only acts be
tween material bodies and that, though
like gravitation, it acts on a material
body in any direction and follows it
in all its movements, there is no ex
penditure of force in the directions in
which no material body is encountered.
On this theory there also would be no
loss of heat. There would only be an
interchange'of the same kind as if ev
ery heat ray ultimately encountered a
material body.
