The Keudalls are coming.

The Kendalls are coming.
Politicians are as thick to-day on the
streets, buttonholding the dear voters, as
blackberries in June.
Hon. Caldwell Edwards is over from
his sheep ranch to see that our city cleo
ton is conducted in good shape.
1t was pleasant to hear the school bells
ringing this morning, summoning the
children to school for another term.
Governor Crosby, after spending sever
al days with his old army friend, Major
Gordon, the popular commandant at Fl.
Ellis, returned to Helena Saturday.
DR.. Grant, of Livingston. is over on q
visit. He tells us that there was consid-
cradle excitement on the school election
Saturday, and very heavy vote was
polled. We have not learned the result.
Yesterday trains left St. Paul and Port
land at such time as hereafter to reach
Bozeman from both ways in daylight.
This will he a great convenience to those
who do not like to be walked up at the
unchristianlike hour of 2 p. m.
Andy Cowan, or as he is more famil-
iafy known as Little Andy" returned
home yesterday, after an extended visit
through Arizona and the Pacific Coast
generally. He thinks Montana is the
best country to stay by after all.
A sporting man by the name of Boyton
was accidentally killed at White Sulphur
Springs Thursday last. His pistol fell
out of his pocket and was discharged, the
ball passing through his thigh and abdo-
men. He died in about twenty-five min
utes.
Lem White, who it was thought was
dead, and the body identified by and
buried at the expense Of Hon. Warren
Toole, has turned up alive and the de-
ceased proves to be one Geo. Kuenzel,
who herded sheep on the Marias for Jno.
Zimmerman.
The sad case of the death of young
girl is reported from Butte, by the over
dose of morphine, taken to allay pain,
and not with suicidal intent. She was
quite young, pretty and witty. Her name
was really Alice Conk, of Mormon pa
rents, Salt Lake, but her assumed name
in the palace of sin was Miss Roymack.
About year ago she was married but
for some cause left her husband and en-
tered upon life of shame.
Evidence has been found in St. Paul OF
a possibly extensive mail robbery on the
Northern Pacific. Last Tuesday a sack
was taken away from suspicious char
acter and found to contain about half a
bushel of letters, mostly portmarked
Helena and Portland, and addressed New
York and Washington. The Helena let
tiers were postmarked March Is, and
those from Portland March q. The mail
sack from which the letters were taken
| was afterwards found.
The result of the vote Saturday on the
question of a one-mill tax for school pur-
poses was carried by large majority.
For the tax, ISL; against, 81. For trustee:
F. Benepe, IS; L. Kruger, 13l. J. P.
Martin was elected clerk; no opposition.
The community is to be congratulated on
its pubic spirit in thus voting the tax.
As we said before, it is not likely that
such another call will be made, nor would
it have been necessary had not the funds
raised by general tax been necessarily
used in repairs and furniture.
It is.a matter of establishment to US
how the community can get worked up
and by the ears on trivial matters. It
may be that it is healthy for communi-
ty to get worked up on matters of inter-
est as from the crucible the gold is re-
fined and from the discussion and interest
in public matters the truth will be elm
mated, and so far as this goes, it is all
right; but an idle and senseless rumor
often gains credence as crysralized truth
and capital is made out If it without per-
sons stopping to think or tracing it out to
conclusion. Now take our city contest
for instance. Nogreat question is involv-
ed, it is more question of men than from
any important results to follow the cleo
ton of either one or the other. Those
elected must follow in the beaten path
that the law prescribes and yet we see
neighbor against neighbor, in a heated
and angry contest, and for our part we
can see no sense in it.
