M"dfcat Opinirn Cf the Electric i.ivhi

Before tho electric light becomes, AZ
1T must soon become, tho common illu-
nnn4ting agent OF the period, dotsr
mined effort should be mado to deyiso
some mode Of mitigating it's peculiarly
nnu1leasant intensity. The yibratiIe
Impulse OF the electric force is obviously
stronger than tho delicate terminal
clements OF tho optic nerve in tho retlna
can bear =, without injury. We are
wont to apply the adJnctivos "hard"
and "soft" to light, and thoir signili
c"hcc makes them peculiarly appropri
ate. The electric light is too hard: il
needs to be soitcncd. The waves of
motion arc too short, and the outstroko
so to say--joins the instroke at too
acute an angle. This might doubtless
be ohviatcd by employing suitable
mntorial for globes and shades, but
perhaps the best plan would be to break
up and scatter the rays of light by re-
flectlon. If a small convex reflector
were placed Immediately below the
light i'll tho protecting globo, and ono
oi larger dimonsious above it, 80 as to
secure double reflection with ultimate
divergence downward and outward, tho
effect would DO to cause the "rays" of
light to fall obliuucly Oh all objects
within the immediate area Of illumina-
ton. This would, perhaps, obviate tho
need of colorod glasses, whioh the pro.
motcrs of the electric light SOON to dis
like. Certainly thore is n considerable
sacrifice of power in tho use of the
opaline globe--so much, indeed, that
some of the districts lighted by cleo
tricity displayed through this medium
do not present any obvious superiority
over gas. We throw out the suggestion
tor what it is worth. Something must
be done, for, as it is, tho electric light
is "nying to tho eyes," which means
that it is in danger of in]uring them,
and already. there is reason to believe
mischief has been wrought by its use.
For truo comfort there is nothing like
the light given by the old-fashioned
pure wax candle.

FATAL ARRAY.
A Duel With Revolvers Between "Texas
Rawhide" and a Montana Cowboy.

"They had a lively time at Little Mis-
souri, last Thursday night says the
Miles City Press. "a party of cowboys
were enjoying themselves while laying
over at that point on their way to Chi
cago. One of the number, a Texan, who
boosted that he was "a terror and a
{ Texas rawhide,' managed to lose the
magnificent sum of three dollars in the
fascinating relaxation known to the in
itiated as stud poker Incensed at
being thus impoverished, he accused
one of the players Of robbing him, where
upon the person who had won the money
took up the quarrel and hot words en-
sued. The winner called attention to
the fact that he was unarmed, and ex-
pressed a regret that he had not his six
shooter with him. This deficiency was
promptly supplied by another of the
party and the two disputants imme-
diately began firing, in which amuse-
ment they were at once joined by n of
the bystanders. The revolvers cracked
rapidly until fifteen shots had been ex-
changed among the three, at the end OF
which time the Texan was found to be
MORALLY wounded, and the man who
borrowed the pistol was shot through
the stomach, receiving painful, if not
serious, injuries. The mar who loaned
the latter his six-shooter, as soon as the
firing began, set to dancing about the
room as though the crack of the revol-
yers was too eXhilarating music to with
stand. The Texan died in a few hours

A RAILROAD FOR BENTON.
A Company Organized to Construct
Road From Helena to this
City.
An organization Already Effected and the
Bulk of the Stock Taken.
independent

1t has been known to some of our citi-
zens for several days that parties were
IN he city looking we our situation
and with the view of deter
mining upon the ~advisability of con-
structing a railroad from here to Fort
Benton. 1t is o understood that such
an undertaking has been determined
upon and that the company is to be
forthwith organized ard the work pro-
ceeded with. 4 portion of the stock, it
is stated, will be offered to some of our
W people, but it is probable that the
bulk Of it has already been taken by a
syndicate representing large railroad
corporations-though whether the Can
adam Pacific, the Union Pacific, or some
other road, we are not advised. Two
gentlemen, however, prominently iden-
tilted with the enterprise have recently
visited Helena and are much impressed
with the prosperous appearance Of the
country. In a conversation with some
Of the citizens they said that the con
struction of the road was an assured
fact. In answer to some inquiries they
said that while it had not been wholly
settled, it was probable that the road
would be of the standard gauge, as the
coal, iron, cattle, grain, and other pro-
auctions along the line, and the villages
which already exist or would soon spring
up, must make for it a profitable future.
This road will be Of the most pic
turesque lines of travel on the continent.
Whether it goes by the Gate of the
Mountains or through the Prickly Pear
valley, it will touch the Great Falls of
the Missouri and tap the business al
ready existing along those streams and
the Dearborn, Sun river, Teton, and
other streams, and furnish is from the
inexhaustible supply of coal, fuel for
our homes and mines. It will give us
an easy outlet to the river and forever
annex to this town the industries to the
north and the communities which are
among the most wealthy and enterpris-
ing in the northwest. BY this line, COO,
the great herds of cattle will reach the
Northern Pacific railroad and thence
east. The line is of easy grades and
cannot require much time in it's con-
struction, although it is probable no
more than its survey can be accomplish
ed this fall. The road promises great
local advantages to Helena, Benton and
intermediate towns. Thus is Helena
becoming a railroad center and easy of
access to the surrounding country. 1t
is safe to predict for it in the near future
a population of at least thirty thousand
souls. Let the good work go on.

The outlook for the Montana district
in the near future is q bright one, now
that it is connected by wagon road from
both sides of the mountains-White
Sulphur Springs and Fort Benton. The
road from this side was completed on
the 21st, and on the same day parties
were hauling hay into Neihart for the
purpose OF starting a livery stable.
There is already one family located in
the town and two or three others Of the
way. Town property has advanced at
least 200 per cent in the last thirty days.
Lots situated on the Main street are sell
ing at from 500 to 5000 each, according
to location.
