YOUTHFUL DEPRAvIrY.-Thed death of

the press ofthat city and several homilies
on the socal evils of the city of Brothery

WHAT ALCOHOL IS COOP FoR.-Alco-
hol is not an unmxed evil In fact, it is
better unmirei, and 95 per cent. strong,
than in toddy, julep, or egg,nog.
Alcohol is g ,od to put natural history
specimens into. The converse, however, is
not true. 1t is not good to put into natu-
raj history specimens, even young or old
specimens of the "genus homo" 1t pre-
serUes in the former casc but destroys in the
latter.
Alcohol is good for snake. bites and other
cases Of cardiac depression, as in>poisoning
by aconite or digtalis, but wheh it has
cured the snake bite, and an excess of the
remedy is admitted, an old temperance wri-
ter named Solomon, declared lit biteth like
serpent and stingeth like an adder" and
what is good for this biting and singing he
did not say. One thing is certain, "preven.
ton is better than cure"
Alcohol is given to reduce the pulse and
temperature in some stages Of fever, but it
makes more fevers than it cures.
Alcohol is good to put on iuaamcd joints
and bruises, but it causes more bruises than
it heals. Alcohol is used to harden the
tender cut.cle in exposed conditions, but
long continued, it does not soften the hear;
though it may the brain.
Alcohol is good to burn in lamps, where
heat and not light is wanted. Though man
is not lamp, even if he is pich,ed, the al
cohol he drinks heats more THAI it illumi
mates. Alcohol is a valuable drug, and may
We speed the happy day when it shall be
literally drug on lie market'--S,uUern

"How USE DOTH BREED A HABIT IN A MAN


Among tho many habits INDUCED in by
the youth of the present d,y there is none
perhaps more pernitious than cigarette smo-
king. We CHANGED not long ago to be
standing near a.greup of college boys who
were indulgiug in their .iaiuty cigarettes
and discussing quite fastidiousy the IN eri is
of different brsuds, Did it, ever occur to
these young 'exqu;sitcs that these dlinty
cigarettes might be made of stumps of ci-
gars picked up bout the streets of some great
city-cigars which had been pulled from
mouths tainted with leprosy, syphilis, or
someother foul disease?
a physician of San Francisco saws that
lcprosy, that foulest Of diseases, has not
few victims among the whites, and especi-
ally is it revealing itself about tho lips and
tongues of boys who smoke cheap cigarettes
made by the Chinese. a distinguished
German chemist has been nductiug a Sc
ries of experiments on the poisonous con-
stituents of Tobacco smoke, which has un-
masked some startling facts. He specifies
several poisonous constituents, but that
which is mnst insiduous is nicotine. Only
small part of che nicotine in a cigar, it
appears, is destroyed by the process of smok:
ing and relatively large portion passes off
with the smoke, 50 that the Inhalation of the
smoke is as damaging to the bystander as to
the smoker. But again, tho relative amount
of nicotine which passes from cigar into
smoke depends chiefly upon how far the
cigar has been smoked, as the nicotine
content of the unsmoked part of cigar is
in inverse ratio to the size of this part, i {:
the shorter the part the greater the nico.
tine. In burning cigar it is evident that
tho slowly advancing zone of glow drives
before it the distilable matter, so that
constant accumulation takes place in the
unburnt portion of the cigar.
Are snuff users aware of the fact that
much Of the snuff put upon the market is
made of the stumps of old cigars, picked up
In the cities and doctored for domestic use?

the market nowadays is doctorcd for con>
sumption. A chemist said to us, it is only
necessary to 6nd out by analysis the elements
of substance, then the combination and we
have it. The only question then is--"will

real article Given the nicotine and other
co onstituents, We can make as good a tobacco

THE sHONKIN
Proceedings of the Meeting Of the Associs
ton in this City Saturday Evening.

tion in this City Saturday Evening.
One year ago the Shonkin district
stock association wa organized, and its
first annual meeting was held at the
Bank Of Northern Montana Saturday
evening. During the short time this as
ISOLATION has been organized it has ac-
complished more good results than any
o,her like organization III the territory,
and it is without doubt the most
thorough, systematic, business like stock
association in Montana.
1.-THE meeting Saturday evening three
tifths of the members were present, and
The election of officers for the new year
resulted as follows:
President-John Lepley.
Observation-Disclosures Nee.
Secretary-M. +. Miner.
Treasurer. Fl. Green.
Executive committee-Thos. I'll. Mar
tin, w. L. Morrow, G. G. Fish, William
Jones ana Martin Connolly.
The retiring president, John Harris,
has become largely interested in stock
on the Marias which will require his
attention to q great extent, rendering it
impossible for him to retain the presi-
dency Of the association, to the regret Of
all of its members Mr.. Miner came to
town with all the papers and property Of
the association in his possession, expect
ing to turn them over to q successor, as
he did not longer wish to perform the
onerous duties Of that office. But the
association would not hear to it, and in
sisted on his reelection, wisely we think.
j. TEL. Green, the treasurer, also asked to
be retired, but his wish was not granted.
Mr.. Green proved a faithful and careful
officer the past year, and the association
decided unanimously that his services
could not be dispensed with.
The final settlement of the business of
the spring round up was made, and in a
way satisfactory to all.
The association resolved to pay parti-
cular attention to prairie fires on the
ranges controlled by its members, and
when ever their ranges are endangered
the officers have authority to hire force
of men to fight the fires. This is a good
move, and it shows the value and i'm
portance Of organization on the part of
stockmen.
Tt was ordered thar Lone Tree corral
should be repaired and enlarged for the
fall round up.
Tt was also decided that the round up
would not go in one large mess, as here
tofore, but divide up into four OF five
messes, to suit the convenience of the
members.
The round up begins OH the 18th of
September, Mr.. Kingsbury's ranch in
the Big Sag being the place of rendez-
vous. The round up will commence on
Arrow creek and work toward High
wood, reversing the order of the spring
round up.

epidemic among thechildren OF Benton.
Parents cannot be too careful in looking
after their sanitary welfare.
III. T. Hepler has the contract for eN-
cavating the cellar for the Masonic
temple and also for NJ: Stockings build
ing. He begins work to-day.
There is a rulnor on the streets that
Frank Hughes has been killed, or
drowned, down the river somewhere,
but it cannot be traced to anything reli-
able.
At the annual meeting OF the Build
ing Association last evening the follow
ing directors were elected: c. E. Con-
rad, r. "A. Luke, Jos. A. Baker, A. C.
Johnson T.. A. Cummings, J. H. Rice,
T. Z. Collins and John Moffitt.
Mr.. Mulcahy, the republican candi-
date for commissioner, has been a resi-
dent Of this county for two years, and
has paid taxes here for five years. If
his name il not on the rolls the assessor
must have been derelictin duty.
\ handsome front was put i'll Cash
L%anning's building on Front street yes
terday. The house is being refitted
throughout, and in q few days will be
ready to receive the large stock of
jewelry, etc, purchased by Mr.. L. while
east.
Several transfers OF stock in the Wright
& Edwards mining company have been
made in the last few days, and we be-
lieve that the result at the meeting
Wednesday evening will show that the
Clendenin mining and smelling COM
pany now have a majority Of the stock
and will control the management of the
mine.
There is considerable guessing going
on as to the route the Northern Pacific
will pursue from the main line north to
Benton, and also as to what point it will
start from. None, however, have vet hit
upon the actual route, which it is the de.
sign of the company to pursue. The
presents feints Of the company is only a
town booming scheme.-Husbuadman.
A desperate fight between "Micky the
Mike and Frank Lombard, the Italian
harp player, took place On Sunday after
noon, at Miller's saloon, growing out of
a dispute over a game Of cards. While
the men were clinched the italian bit
the lower lip off of his antagonist, and
even took with it d part Of the jaw, rem
dering Micky a searful sight to behold.
The latter picked up his lip and started
UP street for q physician, and has actu-
ally had it replaced i'll the most perfect
tanner. But as the parts were badly
torn and crushed by Iombard's teeth, it
is hardly possible hat nature can form
the union. Lombard has been lodged
in JAIL.
Hi. Wright is much better and was up
q little while yesterday. The statement
in the RIVER PRESS a few days ago that
he was lost for twenty-four hours is not
in accordance with the facts. MI.
Wright was too weak to undertake such
q trip and became entirely exhausted
before he had completed it. He was on
his way back to Benton when he'stopped
at Miner & Boardman's over night and
being much worse in the morning they
kindly offered to bring him to town i'm
a buggy, and did SO.
