The Spectre of the Toyabe.


Robert A. MARI, a member of the
Government Geological Survey, in a
recent letter gives an interesting ac-
count of an atmospheric phenomenon
which he lately witnessed in the Toy
abe Range southwest of Montana.
Mr.. Mari says: Suddenly, as stood
looking over the vast expanse beneath
| saw myself confronted by "a monster
figure ola man bending in mid-air be-
fore me upon the top of a elealy-
defined mountain peak, which had
but the thin air of the valley below
for resting place. The figure was
only shors distance from me. A
round it two circles of rain bow light
and color; the outer one family de-
fined as compare with the inner one,
which was bright and clear and dis
tinetly irridescent. Around the head
of the figure there was beautiful
halo of light, and from the figure it
self shot rays of eolors normal to the
body. The sight startled me more
than can tell. [ threw up my hands
in establishment and perhaps some
little fear, and at this moment the
spectre seemed to move toward me.
In few minutes I got over my fright,
and then, after the figure had faded
away | recognized the fact that had
enjoyed one OF the most wonderful
phenomena of Nature. Since then
| have seen it once or twice from JEFF
Davis Peak, butt never created such
an impression upon me as it did that
evening when | was doing service as
helietroper all along the top of
Are Dome. Helena Mont. Herald.

Their God nor man; neither the bald

Live up to the Notices.

There is no use putting up the mot
to God bless our home, if the father
is a rough old bear, and the spirit of
diseourtesy and rudeness is taught by
parents to children and by tie older
to the younger. There is no use put
ting up The motto 1.-The Lord will
provide, while the father is shiftless,
and the mother is shiftless, and the
boys refuse to work, and the girls
busy themselves with gew-gaws and
finery. There is no use putting up
the motto "The greatest of these IS
Charity" while the tongue of the
back-biter wags in the family, and
silly gossip is dispensed at the tea
table. There is no use in placing
couspicuousiy the motto "The liberal
man deviseth liberal things" while
money chinks in the pockets Of the
head of the household, cropping to get
out and see the light of day, and there
are dollars and dimes for wine and
tobacco and other luxuries, but pos
sibly not one cent for the church. In
how many homes are these notices
standing-let US say hanging-sar
casms, which serve to point jest and
adorn satire. The beauty of quiet
lives, of trustful, hopeful, ree-hand-
ed, free-hearted, charitable lives, is
one ofsurpassing loveliness, and those
lives she'd their own incompatible
fragrance, and the world knows where
to find them And they still remain
fresh and fadeless when the colors on
the pigment and the gloss have faded
and the very frames have rotted away
in their joints.

John Morgan going the rounds of the

is represented as showing Morgan's
whereabouts to his enemies in revenge
for the death of her husband whom
Morgan's soldiers had slain a short
time previously. She says: Gen Gil

Glasgow be kind enough to tell us who
this woman is? We have seen various
accounts of her, but never the name she
bore at the time of the killing.

The Next Congress.

The most important matter that is to
come up in the next Congress is the
surplus revenue. This unnecessary bur.
den on the taxpayers must either be
retained or radical change must be
made in the national revenue system, by
reform of the tariff or by the repeal
of the remaining internal revenue taxes.
A second important measure relates to
the coinage of silver. A canvass among
some of the members of the next House
would seem to show that the democrats
are, in general, in favor of tariff reyi-
sion and opposed to any movement as
regards silver, and the republicans are
against touching the tariff and will vote
for suspending the coinage of the dollar.

Pay said teacher enough to enable

Avoid them.
Let parents, officials and others

school patrons to the contrary not

CURING WEAK EYEs.-Bathe your

who, after using this simple tonic for

taeles they had used for years, and
did not resume them, continuing of
course, the oft-repeated daily use of
salt water. Never force your eyesight

the eyes.

DETECTIVE DEv1LrRY.

The Grand Jury Stil1 Busy with the Wit
ncsses-SOme Statements by "Jobn 10.
Smith" About the Management OF tho
Finh Precinct.
1t is evident that the grand jury are thor
oughly in earnest in their investigation
of the matters which have been referred to
them by the district attorney in refer
ence to tho charges against the OK
detective force. The indictment of Dono-
hue on Saturday was but beginning. Tho
amount of material forwarded Co the district
attorney by the citizens committee was
enormous and covered many cases Of which
no mention has yet been made and which are
particularly strong. The witnesses whose
names have been given in these several cases
know of the circumstances connected there
with, and it will be idle for them to escape
disclosing their knowledge, for so closely
have the cases been prepared that il one wit
ness should deny cognizance of certain cir
cumstances, probably tho next one called
would implcate him, and he would then bo
recalled, and probably the alternative pre-
sented him of telling all he knows or being
indicted for perjury. Some of the witnesses
who testified before the grand jury last week
were again heard yesterday. The eud OF the
work of the committee is just beginning.
A communication, which is said to havo
been written by John T.. Smith, has been
handed to n REPUBLICAN reporter. 1t is
headed, "A sketch of the manner in which
the fifth precinct is run might be Of interest
to the citizens of the district" and it is stated
that copy will be transmitted to the citi-
zcns' committee and to tho district commits
sioners.
The communication alleges that a policy shop
firm here, composed of two Baltimore men and
ono William Wagner, or Bill woodward, has
been exempted on the general raid, because
Lieut.. Arnold and Wagner are warm friends ;
| that Wagner sometime ago made Arnolds
daughter q present of gold watch which was
stolen or won by the two monte men, O'Leary
and Murphy; that although Arnold claimed
he did not know whore the watch came from,
and so reported to Maj Brock, he was cogni-
2ant of who sent il, and after keeping 1t for
while sold it for SO. The number Of places
which have been occupied by Wagner in his
| policy business are given always in the fifth
| precinct and his mon arc now said to be
| located ut Fosters Rest on Eighth street.
Lieut.. Arnold is also charged with having
received $25 for recovering $4,000 in drafts for
| ID. A. jenkins, who lost thom at bunko, and
| the same amount from soldier who had
been robbed of large sum of money by a
couple Of street walkers, which money Arnold
recovered.
1t is also charged that Arnold and Capt.
| Vernon compromised felony with two Grim
inals who worked" member of Congress
by the badger" game. Capt. Vernon is
charged with having received n plain gold
! ring from monte man, which he kept until
! the citizens committee began investigating,
and then turned it over to the property clerk;
also TO have received gold watch and chain
! from tho monte men, and u beautiful watch
seal from Brockway, the forger.

"Ho is Nbo extreme, and his manner of dis
cussing socialistic questions too blasphemous

men anywhere in this country Hence
socialists in this country do not believe in

"There will be few strikes the coming sum-

employers. We have adopted new system
which wo shall let develop itself. We shall
depend on the ballot box and not on the
cartridge box to secure justice"

"He has not yet reached Washington, and
his movements are not known to the socialists
Of this city,"
