Stephenson left Monday tor. Chicago, and after a short visit there will go to their home near Florence, Mont. Mrs. Stephenson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Kirk, and came home from Montana several months ago In a very poor condition of health. She has now entirely recovered and la returning to the west. Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson and Mr. and Mrs. Ed F. Mills have located only about 25 miles apart in the fruit growing Bitter Root valley of Montana, but thus far the families have not visited each other, and, Jn fact, neither knew the other was in their part of the state tor some time. The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Star relates that Benator B. F. Shively, of Indiana, may lead the fight against Lorimer, of Illinois, who Is alleged to have secured his election by fraud. It Would seem a trifle nervy for Shively to take an important hand in this matter In view of the fact that he never denied the charges made by John W. Kern, who said that Shively, aa attorney tor the brewers, was elected by the purchase of eight votes at the last session of the state legislature. Shively seems to be trying hard to do something that will -give him a national reputation, but it looks a great deal like the pot calling the kettle black for him to jump onto some other United States renator with a Charge of corruption in election.
