Street Crossings.

The silly prattle of the Inter
Mountain about the apathy of city
officials in reference to the condi-
ton of the street crossings, is as thin
as the mud of which the writer COM
plains. AL the tagging in the
world could not protect his dainty
feet from the mire at such a time as
this, and no city in the United States
is free from mud upon its street cross
ings in rainy weather. The charac-
ter of the soil and natural drainage
of Butte causes our streets and side
walks to dry in a remarkably short
time and three or four days of sun
shine will change them from a con-
dition of muck and mire to dry and
solid roadbeds and pavements. The
citi zen knows this,and when
a thaw or rainy day comes, he
dons his heavy boots and goes about
his business, independent of the mud
and without a thought of inconveni-
ence /; but the namby PANTY youth
who shrinks from soiling his polished
boots, rails against the city officials,
because they refuse to spend money,
which the city treasury does not
possess, for sidewalks ahd street
crossing,

The distance from Salt Lake to

the distance will be shortened about
eighty miles by a cut off which is

A vigorous effort is being made to
have che Benton branch of the
Northern Pacific built this spring as
far as the Bull mountains. Coal not
having been found in the vicinity of
Livingston in such large quantities
as was expected, it is probable that
the Northern Pacific will have to
draw on the extensive coal beds in
the Bull mountains.

The Garfelds.

"Thera is really very little to say
about Mrs. Garfield. She is living a
quiet and beautiful life, devoted al
most entirely to her home and child
rem. She was unchanged by her
husbands election to the presidency,
and as far as she herself is concerned
is happier in her own home than she
ever was in the White House."
"Are either of the Garfield boys
going to develop into public men? ?"
"That is yet difficult to say. The
two older boys are now in the midst
of their collegiate course, and what
they will developit is, of course, diff
cult to say. Harry or Hal, as they
call him at home, resembles his
father more than any of the others,
and I think he may some day feel
like entering public life. For the
boys sake, Mrs. Garfield, I think,
feels that her present wealth is a
drawback rather than a blessing.
She feels that they will never have
the impetus their father had for sue
cess, and while / do not think she is
ambitious to have them enter public
life, she is going to make them all
noble men."-[E. d. Cowles.

"She would have married, in all

She must choose one life or the other

ALEXANDER THE T.
How Plutarch Tells the Story Of
His Skill as q Horse-Tamer.

chronological Journal.
Among the first exploits of this.re-
markable youth is that recorded of
his tanning the famous horse Buceph-
alus. The act itself and the sur
rounding circumstances all appear
characteristic and indicate a bold
spirit as well as keen observation.
The story acquires additional interest
from the entertaining way in which
Plutarch tells it. When Philonicus,
q Thessalian, offered the horse named
Bucephalus for sale to Philip at the
price of thirteen talents, about $12,-
500. the king with the prince and
many others went into the field to
see some trial made of him. The
horse appeared extremely vicious
and unmanageable, and was so tar
from suffering himself to be mounted
that he would not bear to be spoken
to, but turned fiercely upon all the
grosms. Philip was displeased at
their bringing him so wild and un-
governable a horse and babe them
take him away. But Alexander,
who had observed him well, said:
"What a horse are they losing for
want of skill and spirit to manage
him!" Philip at first took no notice
of this, but upon the princes often
repeating the same expression and
showing great uneasiness, he said:
"YOung man, you find fault with
your elders as if you knew more than
they. or could manage the
horse better" "And 1 certainly
could" answered the prince. "if
you should not be able to ride HIM,
what forfeiture will you submit to for
your rashness ?" II will pay you
the price of the horse" Upon this
all the company laughed, but the
king and prince agreeing as to the
forfeiture, Alexander ran to the horse,
and laying hold on the bride, turned
him to the sun; for he had observed,
it seems, that the shadow which fell
before the horse and continually
moved, greatly disturbed him. While
his fierceness and fury lasted he
kept speaking to him softly and
strOking him after which he gently
let fall bis mantle, leaped lightly up
on his back, and got his seat very
safe. Then, without pulling the
reins too hard or using either whip or
spur, he set him agoing. AS soon as
he had perceived his uneasiness
abated and that he wanted only to
run, he put him in full gallop and
pushed him on both with the voice
and spur. Philip and all his court
were in great distress for him at first,
and q profound silence took place.
But when the prince had turned him
and brought him straight back, the
they all received him with loud
acclamations except his father, who
wept for joy, and kissed him, and
Seek another kingdom, my
son, that NAV be worthy of thy
abilities, for Macedonia is too small
for thee.v

Street Crossings.

At a recent meeting of the City
Council provision was made for II
laying of block of stone crossings at
the intersection or principal streets;
and City Marshal Smith has arranged
for the WORK to be done SO soon as the
weather and condition of the ground
will permit. In the meantime tenn
porary crossings have been la'a on
Main and intersecting streets, winch
will greatly improve navigation upon
that thoroughfare. The two men
used for temporary cross
ings, was purchased for sidewalk
purposes, and will be taken up n
used in the Arizona and Granlte
sidewalks whenever the frost
is out of the ground SO they can DE
replaced by permanent crossings.

To the Hon. f. j. Conger, fudge
First judicial District:
S1R-We, the Grand Jury of Madi-
son county, learning that your court
will this day adjourn without day.
beg leave to report:
First. That we have other and
unfinished business before us, but
which can be investigated by the
next court and Grand Jury.
Second. That the unexpected
enforced adjournment of court has
prevented this jury from examining
all county offices, that we have made
a hasty investigation of the Jail and
find the same orderly and neatly
kept, and the jailer deserving Of
much praise for the same.
That the grand jury has unani-
mously adopted the following resolu-
tons and request that the same be
printed in the Mddisonidn and other
papers in this Judicial District.
Be it
Resolved, That in our opinion the
President Of the United States has
been deceived into a grievous wrong,
based upon false representations
made by interested parties to secure
for personal ends the suspension of
Judge Conger from office.
Second. That we recognize in
Judge Conger a just and upright
officer, able, fearless ~and..learaed in
his profession, one that will not bow
to the behests of overshadowing cor
porations, MOI will he "oow the sup
pie knee that thrift may follow
fawning."
Third. That we as citizens of
Montana most respectfully ask a
revocation of the order of the Presi-
dent suspending Judge Conger from
office until a fair, full and impartial
investigation of all charges preferred
against him, as we believe the public
interest will thereby be promoted
and Justice will be done an eminent
and worthy citizen, to whom the
nation owes a dept of gratitude for
services rendered as a soldier that
neither honor MOI Office can repay,

Story.

Max Alden in Indianapolis Herald.
So I sided up to Rachel and jined
in conversation with her, and we
had lots of fun after that. She
seemed to kind o. like me from the
start. When the time come for us to
60 away, I asked if I might come to
see her Sunday night. She said I
might, provided I'd promise to leave
at ten o'clock. Well, I went to see
her that night and the next Sunday
night, too, stayin' q little late, cause
we hadn't said anything about the
ten o'clock business. I got to going
purity often, sometimes twice q week.
I was just the deadest gone Teller you
ever saw. I would dream about her.
Every time I picked up a pencil or
pen I found myself unconsciously
writin' her name. All went well for
q time. But one day a little thing
happened that made me lose favor in
Browns sight, and he ordered me
never to come into his house again.
The reason of this was because I sold
a black cats skin for q mink's. He
was buying furs then and give me
five dollars for it, thinking all the
time the skin was q fine mink's.
But when he went to sell it
he soon found out different, and
if you ever saw a man rave, he did
then. I give him back his five dol
lars, but he swore if he'd yer catch
me around his house again, he'd
skin me alive. Well, I didn't want
to get skinned, SO 1 respected his Or
des and stayed away But yet I
loved Rachel, and l knowed she
loved me. 1 was in a pickle, sure.
One day 1 made up my mind to 60
and see her, anyhow. So I saddled
up one of pap's old gray mares and
started off. When 1 got to her house
she was in the yard, and I called to
her to come outside, for l wanted to
see her. She was barefooted, but she
came anyhow. I put the question
right square to her. Says I: IRA
chel, l want to know if you are goin'
to he my wife. or whether you are
goin' to do as your father says. 1
want to have this thing settled right
here and now" Well, she hung her
head and stood there maxim marks
in the dust with her toe, pictures of
log cabins and such. Direckly she
slapped her foot right fiat down on
the dust, and I saw her two front
toes open and shut, and open and
shut. Then I knowed I had her.
She was my wife. And sir, whether
you believe it or not, I walked forty
miles to get my license. This is the
whole story of my courtship and
