Something other than Truth in the Bottom
Of Well.

| Mr.. Ed II. Irvine, at his residence in West
Deer Lodge, has a forty-foot well and a
China boy, the latter employed about the
kitchen. The well supplies water for dones.
tic purposes and was rugged with wheel
and two buckets. The bottom having been
knocked out of one of these by carelessness,
the young celestial has latterly been hosting
water with one, and with the proverbial dis
position Of his tribe to smash up everything
breakable he, last Saturday morning, let the
last bucket down with a velocity that
knocked the bottom out of that. With an
intelligence fully up to, If not beyond, his
years, knew he would probably get shaking
| up for his carelessness, and with him to
think was to act. He called small boy in
| tho vicinity; tied one end of the rope around
his body under the arms; passed it over the
| wheel, and telling the small boy in cabalistic
language, If there is such thing, to let him
down like an investigated Star Router-that
Is, easily-he stepped off on the Short Line
route to toward China. About the time his
head disappeared below the surface the smalI
boy found he hadn't grown enough yet to
stand off the avoidupeis of the Chinaman,
letting 20, he concluded to let 60. Ker-
chuck! went the body of the China boy into
the water forty feet below, and "Hello!
Hello! Help! Help" went the voice of the
small boy into the outer realms of space.
Mr.. Irvine ran quickly to the scene, to find
two or three of the family Juggling hopelessly
on the rope, and hear their united lament
over the idea of a dead Cinnamon in the
well and the utter helplessness of Goods last
best gift TO man" when it came to getting
him out. With the assistance of neighbor,
"Ed" rugged the rope and hauled away. No
sound came from the depths save the
sepulchral drip of the waters as the body
the gloom as it approached the surface.
Finally, with a long, steady pull, it appeared,
head up and face foremost, and with hand
extended up holding out the fragments of the
bucket bottom, its CLASSY eyes fastened them
selves on " Ed, the shaven head shook mega
lively, the arms projected forward, the
mouth opened and, before the body half
emerged from the we'll hole, the resarrected
Chinaman eyed the fragments of the bucket
bottom and merely said, "No good" The
explanation, under the circumstances, was
deemed sufficient Notwithstanding the we'll
was small and was walled with boulders, he
had received no injuries except slight con-
fusion on one elbow. The damages to the
well water have not been estimated, but
probably, in the laconic phrase of the res
cued celestial, il is No Good"

Northern Pacific Bridges.

There are to be twelve bridges of the Howe
truss pattern between Little Blackfoot and
Missoula All are composed Of sixty-six foot
spans; the shortest being single span at
Gold Creek, and the longest four span
at Lennan's, near Bear Mouth. Piles for these
bridges, also for all smaller structures, are
now delivered where needed; the bridges
themselves are framed; the iron distributed
at convenient points, and everything is
ready for the pile-driyer and carpenters to
commence the work of construction. With
the exception of one at Gold Creek and one
at Big Blackfoor, all are crossings of the
He'll Gate river.

ST.. LOUIS. January Ex-Governor
Crittenden, in discussing the liquor
traffic and the prohibition question
this morning. said, in the most UNI
qualified terms, that he would sup
port the bills pending before the Sem
ate requiring higher license, pro-
hibiting card tables, pool tables or
other inducements to loaf around
dram shops, and making it misde-
meanor to have painted windows or
screens to such places. The Governor
says that the sale of liquor should be
conducted openly, and upon the same
principle as groceries and hardware.

Some people, ignorant of what good

Some people, ignorant of what good
editing is, imagine the getting I'D of
selected matter to be the easiest work
in the world to do. whereas it is the
incest work done on any paper. If
they see the editor with scissors in
his hand, they are sure to say: "Eh,
that's the way you get up original
matter, eh ?" accompanying their
new and witty question with an
idiotic wink or smile. The facts are
that the interest, the variety, and the
usefulness of paper depend In no
small degree upon the selected mat
ter, and few men are capable of the
position who would not themselves
be able to write many of the articles
they select. A sensible editor desires
considerable selected matter, beca use
he knows that one mind cannot make
SO good paper as FIVE or six.

The New York Tribune says Civil
Service Reform has thrown the
whole Democratic press in Ohio into
commissions. So far as known there
is not paper of that party in the
State that supports the measure.
The further they see the offices drift
away from them the more angry they
become, If double-leaded articles a
column long could have sunk the
bill it would haye been at the bottom
of the sea long ago. Defeated in
their efforts to kill the measure, they
are training their guns on Senator
Pendleton. and making his Presiden-
tial boom like prairie calm after a
cyclone.

general feeling is that Gov. Pattison
has made a weak beginning. His
tenacious retention of the controller

neglecting to make a Congressional
appointment Congress itself not hav-

when the legislatures session ended),

reform opinion is that the recorders
Office should be abolished-these are
three things. aside from the Cassidy

solitary case in any of the hotels or
within the business or better resi-
dence portions. No one visiting Bal
timore has contracted the disease, and
not a single instance has been known
where it has been carried away from
the city. It is absurd to claim the
slightest danger of contracting small
pox or any other disease by visit to
Baltimore, and throughout business
and social circles there has most posi-
lively been no alarm. Irdeed, the
talk about it has been of the reports
circulated outside of Baltimore rather
than of the ravages of the pestilence
within municipal confines. That
there has been a very general vacci-
nation is true. and therein lies the
greatest possible preventive to the
increase of the disease. The tell.tale
yellow flag has been thrust forth from
many windows where it was made
to indicate possible rather than an
actual danger, in order that whether
smallpox itself or only varieloid,
contact ofthe uncomtaminated should
be averted.
Food, money and attendance have
been lavished with unstinted hand
upon the sick and the disease kept so
closely within its centre OF origin that
even in mid-winter, when it prevails
to a much greater extent than any
other time, its spread has been stop
PED short and quick. So vigorously
and so successfully has it been hand
led, that it is hazarding little, If any
thing, to assert that there are to-day
actually less number of smallpox
sufferers than in any of the large cities
on the Atlantic Coast. Forewarned
has led to forearming of a character
none other of the great commercial
emporiums can boast of, and with an
almost universal vaccination there is
nothing for the disease to feed upon.
