Our Bannack correspondent, J. r. W.,
furnishes this item =
"Tlis morning, Aug. I'd, the dead body Of
Bill Goodrich was found in the manager Of
J"e Kepplsr's stable, on the banks of the
north-side ditch. Tie corpse bears evidence
that he passed into eternity without physical
agony. A coroner's jury will sit Oh the case
this after nSon. The deceased was a pioneer
Of Montana. He came to the Territory in
1862, from Florence, and was one of the dis
cov-rers Of Pioneer gulch on the Big Hole.
For many years he was the proprietor of the
Goodrich House, in Bannack, aud in the
days Of prosperity he was a generous, whole
souled man. Strong drink was his deadly en-
-Iny. and the probabilities are that he sue.
cumbed to the baneful fluid. One more case
in which the mantle of human charity must
be drawn over the victim"

Montana ~ Journal

II anyone doubts the enterprise Of Montana
Glendale Atlantis as a brilliant example of
such enterprise. The atlantic has lately
come out provided with spick and span "pat-
ent insides," an imposition not hitherto at
tempted upon the people of Montana. As
most people are aware, a "patent inside y
paper is one that has one side printed at some
large establishment in the east. The person
who prints this side controls its advertising,
and consequently the "patent " IS filed with
notices of mystic pills and other adver-
tisemen ts which a respectable Publisher would
not ADM to his paper. When this half is
printed the sheet is sent west to the {" editor
and proprietor" of some one-horse outfit
who buys it at something less than the price
of blank paper, prints the remaining side,
then palms it of on his subscribers as a real
newspaper. The best of the joke concerning
the atlantis is that its editorial " depart
msnt is conducted under this patent system
The idea of machine made /" edit oriais' print
ed somewhere in the states and palmed of
on the people of Montana at five dollars
a year is slightly rich. There are degrees in
which cheek mcrges into the sublime, and
this is one. But then it is the custom OF
Montana newspapers to have editorials. The
atlantis had to be in fashion, and since its
{. editor and proprietor " has not been dealt
with very kindly bv nature in the little mat
ter of brains, or character either, for that
matter, it was a question OF machine
made editorials or none; only that and
mailing more. Beaverhead should WELD a
pood deal of influence in matters of public
interest, owing to the editorial ability
of ,ts " iournal." The sprishtly manner in
which the machine editorials Of the copy be-

aspersions of all kinds upon his

suit to what ho expected. 1t only
tended to increase the friends OF

DEAN lowered his head in very

efforts OF Dean, Price, (or such
