AT THE race for the Monmouth stakes, for

Freddie Gebharts Eole came In first, and
Iroquois, Lorillard's winner Of the Derby,

LEoH r. FREEMAN OF the recent aggre.
CATION Of newspaper names at Butte ought to
bring suit against the Wood River Times for
infringement Of copyright In publishing the
alleged scheme to abiact, kidnsp, siese and
carry away from tho National Park the body
Of one Chester A. Arthur, President, etc.
Freeman got mp . kidnapping story on Jay
Gould that discounts the Times hoax. No
such scheme to extort money from Tilden
will be successful.
Ar NOON on Friday Of last week President
Arthur and his friends arrived at the Upper
Geysfr Basin, In Yellowstone Park, after q
horseback trip Of 22o miles, during which
the party bad q good outing and excellent
trout fishing. Michael v. Sheridan, the only
press reporter with the party, has given daily
very we'll written accounts OF the trip--ac-
counts sneered at by some Of the press papers
for di6useness and slight inaccuracies, but
which were nnostentatioas and probably cor
rect before subjected to the prestidigitation
Of the wires. Tho "of" papers have had
some fun 1t the expense Of the President,
some of ID enjoyable and some of II q little
malicious, but Americans generally have
been glad TO hear daily that the distinguished
party we're having good time. President
Arthur Is the first President who for O sum.

pie which We hope TO see followed. History
has no record Of Nero fishing for trout or Of
Cataline making biscuit by camp fire. The
devil has no love for d stag camping party.
BY tomorrow IL IL probable the Park trip
will have ended and the Presidential party
break up. While regretting they could not

II We recollect Alright, In the Bozeman
Chronicle, giving the following pet names to |
Montana towns, viz:
Glsndive--The East Gate City.
Miles--The Ring City.
Billings-The Magic City.
Livingston-The Gem City.
Bozeman--The Beautiful City.
Helena--Queen of the Mountains.
Deer Lodge--The Pioneer City.
Butte-Ths Silver City.
Missoula--Thc West Gate City.
Bsnton--The River City.
Dillon--The South Gate City.
Don't II strike. You, Brother Lsnghorne,
that 1t 10 spreading our tall feathen out
pretty thin 10 call our little Montans towns
and villages ''cities"? Very few of them are
entitled TO It IN law and none In fact. And
then. tho oldest acity" in Montana, Virginia,
and the oldest considerable town, Bannack,
are omitted. Let us be content In have cur
little towns and villages known as such. We
remember In July, 1905, having had the FIST
square meal In eighty days A. Bczeman.
Bozeman was only village then, but Il had
quite Q number Of houses and stores and
made . favorable Impression. The next day
We pulied on 10 Hamilton. City" Il con-
sisted Of one log building. The wave OF
disappointment was quite overwhelming.
The sbsurdity Of calling every little hamlet
city has continued Ia Montana. There Is
too much pretense In II. II IL = Rocky
Mountain ansctation n variance with the
practical common sense tho people Of this
country manifest In nearly ell other matters.

banners ard smpioys the orators with the
