Don,t be Diseouragea.

Don't be discouraged because your
boys seem dull. Slow growth is often
sure growth. Some minds are like
Norweg ian pines. They are slow In
growth, but they are striking their
roots deep. Some Of the greatest men
have been dull boys. Dryden and
Swift were dull boys. 30 was Gold
smith. So WAS Gibbon. So was Sir
Walter Scott. Napoleon at school had
so much difficulty in learning his
Latin that the master said 1t would
need gimlet to get . word into his
head. Douglas Jerrold was SO back.

was scarcely able to read. Isaac
Barrow, one of the greatest divines the
Church of England has ever produced. .
was SO impenetrably stupid in his
early years. that his father more than
once said that If God took away any OF
his children he hoped 1t would be Isaac,
as he feared he would never be fit fol

was the genius Of the family.

The Art of Living.

The art of living easily as to money
Is to pitch your scale of living one de-
gree below your means. Guard against
the notion that. because pleasure can
be purchased with money, therefore
money can't be spent without enjoy
ment. What thing costs man is no
true measure of what it is worth to
him; and yet how often is his apprecia-
tion governed by no other standard as II
there were q pleasure in expenditure
per Sc! Feel want before you provide
against IT,. You are more assured that
it is real want; and 1t Is worth while
to feel it q little in order to feel the
relief from 1t.

Orxnu,zing for Protection.

A dispatch from Reading, Penna.,
says that up TO last night nearly fve
hundred replies had been received by
Henry S. Eckert, President Of the
Eastern Pig Iron Association, which
will meet in Philadelphia to-day to
organize q general tariff club. The
replies are from almost every State in
the Union, and represent nearly .very
branch of the industry. Among other
questions to be acted upon will be the
proposed application to the railroad
companies for cheaper coal, in order tC
enable the manufacturers to compett
with Southern iron.

Hanna to be Hanged.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, April

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. April S.
Editors River Prcss:
Yesterday the grand jury in the case
of TERRITORY of Montana VS.. J. w. Hanna
found an indictment of murder i'm the
first degree.
To-day the trial jury brought in a YER
dict of murder in the first degree, and
the prisoner, Joseph w. Hanna, was
sentenced by Judge Wade to be hanged
between the hours of 10 a. m. and 2 pm.
on Wednesday, August 2lst, 1884, at the
place designated by law.
0. c.. MORRISON.
The case was given to the jury about
midnight on Friday night, and in thirty
minutes the verdict was arrived at.
Hanna's story Of committing the deed
in self defense was too gauZy in the face
of the evidence brought out, and from
the beginning of the trial it was evident
that his conviction was certain. Mel
sons wife seemed to be in the plot, but
the evidence was not sufficient to indict
her.
JOS. w. Hanna, better known as
"Toe-string joe" has been in the terri
tory several years, and is well known
throughout northern and eastern Mon
tana. He was a preacher, or exhorter,
for some. time, but was never a very
great success in thI line. He is said to
be a member Of a prominent Hanna
family in Indiana, where his relatives
have attained distinction in law and
politics.

Jos. w. Hanna.

Jos. w. Hanna, who is sentenced to
be hung at White Sulphur Springs, is a
brother of Bayliss w. Hanna, of
the most prominent lawyers and demo
| cratic politicians of Indiana, and we
have no doubt some powerful influences
will be brought to bear to secure a new
hearing in his case. His relatives in
clude ex-congresslnen, ex-state senator's
and others high in both political and
social life. JOS. was induced to come
west On account of an unfortunate scrape
he got into while attending Wabash
college at Charlottesville, Indiana, and
has been in the territory ever since.
His nickname of "Toe-string Joe"
grew out of the following occurrence:
John Green, who was operating the
Helena & Benton stage line, was trying,
unsuccessfullv: on the road one day, to
manage a broncho, when Joe came
along. The latter wa something of a
horse trainer, and after seeing John
worsted by the animal he came up and
offered his services, saying he could
lead the horse wherever he wanted with
a toe-string-and he did it, too. Mr..
Green christened him "Toe-string Joe''
on the spot, and the name has stuck to
him ever since,

River RIpples.
bismarck Papers.l

Capt. Voolfolk starts for Sioux City
this morning for the purpose of pur-
chasing a steamboat.
C. P. Voolfolk is entitled to credit for
the safety Of the steamer Bachelor, hav-
ing laid her up in such shape hat she
was not struck by a single cake of ice
during the breakup.
River men are busy preparing for the
opening of navigation. Capt. Tom Ma
riner with the Eclipse expects to leave
for UP river points between the 18th and
10th inst, and the steamer Helena will
leave about the Goth.
The river traffic this season promises
to be very heavy, and unusual activity
prevails in steamboat circles as the YES
sells are being put in shape to begin ac-
tive operations. New boats will be
brought up to assist in transporting the
immense volume of freight now en-
route from the east. The steamboatmen
are greatly pleased over the prospects of
a busy season.
The steamer Helena was pulled up to
the warehouse at Bismarck on the 5th
inst, and is being put in trim for the
first trip to the head of navigation.
The big Dacotah will leaye Cincinnati
in a few days for a trip to the seaport of
Montana.
The work of saving the machinery
and rigging of the Black Hills and Be-
han, at Bismarck is in progress.

line of steamers, was anxious to make

Business Competition.

The merchants of Fort Benton ought
to make a determined effort this season
to secure the lions share of the trade of
the Judith country. There is no reason
why they should not. They can get
more favorable freight tariffs than the
merchants of the railroad towns, and on
that account ought to be able to sell
goods at a lower figure. They must I'M
derstand Ethat they have now active
competitors and must bid for the trade OF
the "dividing ground" if they expect to
get it. Last season, by making q WELL
directed effort, Billings merchants Sc
cured a goodly portion of the judith
country trade while there was no effort
on the part of our dealers to contest for
it.. 1t is certainly time that the policy
of inactlon should end, that is, unless
hat trade is not particularly desired.
Fort Benton dealers should meet
their competitors at any other point
as far as prices are concerned, ana
go them just q little better;
they should send representatives to d a
section to secure the business ; they
should advertise unstintingly the in
ducements to trade they offer; they
should secure, if the business will war
rant, a fast freight line to deliver
goods in season, and do everything else
that is legitimate and honorable to cor
RAJ as much of the outlying trade as pos
sible. The situation in Montana has
come to this. The time was when peo-
pie residing within $50 miles OF Fort
Benton were compelled to trade here,
but that time is past. They will come
now if it is to their interest, otherwise
not, and our merchants should try to
make it interesting for them to visit
Fort Benton when they want supplies.
There is no material difference in the
distances; low prices and ordinary busl-
ness sagacity and activity will win.
