Last sentence of the above con-
tnins a world of meaning from prac-
teal observer of no ordinary char
acter. II is presumable that President
strong has iust visited the south for
the first time. His journey through
the country was partly one OF observa-
ton, the impression created pcing
somewhat unfavorable, except In the
case of Texas. "TeNas is worth more
than the rest of the South, says Presi-
dent Strong. In all quarters thus
opinion begins now to prevail. The
state Is undergoing a wonderful devel-
opment, and yet il Is only beginning.
The value of Texas exports
this year will go in excess of
10000, 600, a sum that looks almost
fabulous. In ten years the population

HELENAIvLAH! OH, HOW GREAT!

On June 1,th the construction train Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad reached the
outskirts of the capital, Helena. And it
came to pass that on the evening Of that
day all the grea. men Of the city did as
scmble together and they grew exceeding
drunk from Kentucky corn wine. And it
was ordered to be so recorded on slabs OF
iron SO that unborn generations Of noun.
tain nen might fall down annually and
worship. And while the multitude were
drunk, 10, and behold, an angel named Col.
Sanders spoke and blessed the multitude
and the men Rugged each other and shout.
ed: "Helenalulah Oh, how great" And
the multitude, drunk from the wine Of vel.
low corn, wept. And then it came to pass
that angel Sanders raised his voice saying:
my brethren, weep not, unless We cry for
joy. Behold the contamination OF the
labors OF your boss! And oh, We dwellers
on the soil Of the mighty city Of Montana,
10 reverence unto your chief boss! Amen"

John Murray, who had been hashing at
the county coop for some time. awaiting an
acquaintance with the next Grand Jury,
got up and got. Mr.. Murray did not leave
his card with Sheriff Reinhatat, and from
this piece Of neglect on Johns part it is
