Elect Honest Officials.

The only security we have for an
honest administration of government,
Federal and State, is in the honesty of
those we elect to administer it. No
laws or checks that the wisdom or in
genuity of man have ever been able
to devise, or ever can invent, will be
sufficient to prevent rascality and pee
ulation. Where there is will there
will always be found way-and,
therefore, our only safeguard is in the
absolute honesty, the perfect conscien-
tiousness Of the officers we choose
This should be the first qualification,
it will usually be found to cover and
include all the others. Let us strive
to put honest men in Office, from the
President down.

love to hear thine earnest voice,
Wherever thou art hid,
Thou testy little dogmatest,
Thou pretty Katydid
Thou mindest me of gentlefolks-
Old gentlefolks are they
Thou sayst an undIsputed thing
In such a solemn way
Thou art female Katydidl

That quivers through thy piercing notes,
So petulant and s..rll.

Beneath the hollow tree
A knot OF spinster Katydids-
Do Katydids drink tea?
Oh, tell me, where did Katy live,
And what did Katy do?
And was she very fair and young.
And yet so wicked too9
Did Katy love naughty man,
Or kiss more cheeks than oneY
l warrant Katy did no more
Than many Kate has done.

He is Odd.

He lived just mile from the village,
Out there by the forks of the road;
His farm, by the help of good tillage,
Increased what he planted and sowed.
His dwelling was low and old-fashioned,
The roof was all covered with moss,
But still by his fixing and patching,
1t kept out the rain and the frost
He lived very peaceful and quiet'
We knew him as old Terry Todd;
SO plain was his dress and his diet,
The neighbors all said he was odd,
The fashion he never would follow,
Nor try to put on any style,
But owing dime or dollar,
He paid when due with smile,
His words were few and well chosen,
Twas clear he meant what he said;
His temper, not heated or frozen,
And calm was the life that he led.
He did not belong to the meeting,
And said very little of God;
But orphans were glad at his greeting,
And every one said he was odd.
If ever he tried to sell you
A COW, an OK, or horse,
He made it his business to tell you
Each one of the animals faults.
He hired Billy Peters, the cripple.
To husk out the corn by the day,
And heaped up the grain on the bushel
To measure his wheat for his pay.
His name was not on the subscription
} To save the poor heather abroad;
His neighbors he helped in affection
The people all thought he was odd.
} Ae never made any profession"
Nor said he had "a new heart"
But something he had in possession
OF which many more need apart:
A something that made him so gentle,
So honest, so kindly and true,
If not church religion, we venture
That Jesus would say, ut will do"
3 He might, in the church. have been bette
, And rendered more service to God, >
And more of the spirit" than letter"
And that was what made him 80 odd,
The preacher might say he was Goddess,
: Because he subscribed to no creed;
: But still it was part of his oddness
8 The wretehed and hungry to feed.
e Ii Terry failed of salvation
q Because he stayed out of the church,
We don't see how in creation
81 Professors will shun the lee lurch.
. Who wear the garb of the pious,
ii But love not their neighbors or God.
n We choose, when our maker shall try us
O To be like the old farmer-odd.

Medicine

Mk0ukCInO
No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide a reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PEcToRAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made it universally known
as a safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re.
lleving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection i. affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PECrORAL extensively
IN their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain IN
it's healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.

10! TIE POOR INDIAN.
Starving Reds-Planting Potatoes
With Knives and H~atchaets-
A Harem OF Young In
dian Girls.

A sensation has been created in
Choteau County by a recent report of
the Grand Jury, from which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
"Much of the time of this grand
jury has been occupied by examina-
ton into d~epredatisns by Piegan In
dams upon the cattle herds on the
borders of this county, and from the
testimony OF a number of Indians, it
is the opinion of this grand jury that
the greater part of these depredations
are chargeable directly to the incom-
potency Of Major John Young, pres
ent agent at the Blackfeet agency
Evidence has come before us of his
telling Indians they could kill cattle
on the north side of the Marias, and
testimony is ample to prove that
nearly all the Indians are in a starv-
ing condition, ten ounces of meat
each for one week being the ra-
ton allowed them. They are
not also provided with proper
agricultural implements; many are
compelled to break sod with knives
and hatchets in order to plant pota-
toes. He has wllfully misrepresent-
ed the condition of these Indians to
the departments at Washington, and
their fol bearance from open revolt is
to be commended.
"He has also refused to subserve
the ends of justice by refusing to de-
liver to a deputy sheriff stolen prop
erty. Has been charged with keep
ing harem of young Indian girls,
and in our opinion there is nothing
that would tend more to the peace OF
this county, the safety of property,
the welfare and happiness of these
Indians than his removal at once.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted. w. g. CONRAD, Foreman"

Bowen, Beecher and Tilton.

Clarence Bowen, son of the propri-
etor of the Independent, has just
sailed on a foreign tour. Bowen has
been very economical of late years,
and hence the above indicates an i'm
provement in business. The rivalry
among the so called religious journals
has been very severe, and few of them
have been remnerative. The Endc-
pendent was seriously injured by the
Brooklyn scandal. but is now recov-
ering. Bowen and Beecher were for
a quarter of a century on the most
intimate terms, but they have not
spoken in ten years. Both, though
now three and ten, and strug-
Cling to meet obligations, and each
seems to be under a close financial
pressure. Triton, who was once pet
ted by both, is now 20 poor and lonely
as to be an object of pity. 1t has
been suggested that this trio, which
was once such a unit, should be n r
monized and the rupture healed.
Perhaps an effort may soon be made
for this purpose. Beecher is supposed
to be well, and indeed ought to be-,
considering his success in overriding
public opinion, etc. He has had,
however. Plymouth Church to sup
port him, whose motto seems to be
''the king car do no wrong"

Orrin A.. Hickok, the celebrated
trainer and driver of trotting horses,
arrived in Omaha yesterday after
noon with eleven horses. and q small
army of rubbers, attendants, etc.
MI. Hickok is taking his horses from
his training grounds in California to
the track at Cincinnati, where he
will work them preparatory to start

all last year with a bad leg, but is
now in fine form and fit to trot q

OF the Pacific slope, and q number Of
promising two and three year olds.
Accompanying MI. Hickok is
Johnnie - Goldsmith. son of AL
den Goldsmith, of Blooming
rove, N. Y, who has two grand
horses, Director and Romeo, both
owned by Monroe Salisbury. These
horses are both trotting well this
season, and Goldsmith's colors will
be seen in the front in more than one
race. Mr.. Hickok was very reticent
regarding the chances of st. Julien's
carrying Off the turf honors this
year, but said he proposed to make
an effort to send him for all he is
worth, and the animal that beats
HIM will have to trot for it. The
horses were loaded on the cars at San
and run through to Ogden,
where a short stop was made to rest
them, after which they were again
reloaded and sent on to this city,
where they now occupy 1.-THE hest

Sudden q

fhe community was shocked Sun
day morning by the announcement
Of the death by heart disease of J.
Ornstein. The deceased was we'll
known and greatly respected as one
OF our most active business men. He
had been about town attending to his
varied business interests on Satur.
day, and retired that night in his
usual health. Awaking at an early
hour Sunday morning, he conversed
with Mrs. Ornstein, and shortly after
six O'Clock raised himself as if about
to arise, at the same time pass
ing his hand across his fore
head and exclaiming, "Oh, I feel
bad" These were his last words.
His frightened wife looked into his
face and saw that the pallor of death
was already upon him, and almost
instantly he fell back upon the pill
low. In that short moment the
spirit had fled the earthly casket,
and the faithful husband and kind
father was no more. The deceased
had lived in Butte many years, and
leaves . wife and several children
who will have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of q large circle of friends in
their sudden bereavement. The fu-
neral will take place at 2 o'clock this
under the auspices Of Mt.
Moriah and other lodges, of which
he was q member.

SUSPECTED ~INFANTICIDE.
The Dead Body of a Child Found
Near Deer Lodge.

In response to a summons, Justice
Bill, Acting Coroner, last evening
west to a bridge on the east side road
to Butte, about one mile from Deer
Lodge, and found there a sack con
cealed under the end of the bridge
over a coulee. This sack enclosed
another, and inside this was a small
coffin in which was found the body
of a male child, which had evidently
been born at its full, alive; the UNI
bilical cord having been tied. It had
not, apparently, been dead more than
a day or two, as no decomposition
had taken place. The coffin was of
pine, not painted, but evidently
made by a skilled workman, and the
lid was screwed on. The body, on
the hasty examination made by the
Coroner, did not show any signs of
violence. 1t was brought to town
and is now in possession of Sheriff
