Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Of the Democratic Campaign in Missoula County
MISSOULA, Mont., July 14. - [Special to the Miner.] - A large and enthusiastic democratic ratification meeting was held last evening in the court house sguare. Fireworks and bonfires illuminated the scene and the Twenty-fifth infantry band furnished the music. The first speaker was Hon. F. G. Higgins, who spoke for 20 minutes. He was loudly applauded. He was followed by J. G. Denny, H. C. Stiff, Judge Woody and George B. Wilds. There were a great many ladies among the audience. A stand had been erected and this was decorated with bunting and flags. Seats were also provided, but not nearly sufficient to accommodate the crowd. In every way the meeting was a grand success.
