SOCIAL PERILs AT THE WHITE
HOUSE

Again Is that vexed question of who
shall be First Lady Of the Land before
the public. Is it any wonder that the
President looks pale and that the amber
extract OF blue grass and fizz OF the pale
nectar Of France have loss their poten.
cy? The latest unhappy discord broke
upon the air Of the White House last
saturday a week. At the reception
given by Mrs. ELRoY, the Presidents
lister, the latter designated Mrs. CAR

INGHUYsEN as Second Lady," and
Airs. JUSTICE MILLER as "Third
Lady" Mrs. FRELINGHUYEN could
not attend, and Mrs. MILLER was al
lotted to her place. Local historians do
not wholly agree a to what was the
actual and visible result of this assign
ment, but there come grave whispers
rom the Blue-room that the air was
made murky by the i'll concealed wrath
Of Mrs MILLER, and that from her
place in:the line came sounds ofexplos-
i've ebullition. IL Is limited in CERTAIN
quarters that the excellent lady so far
failed to contain herself, that both Ms.
CARLISLE and Mrs. MCELROY were
compelled to accept small piece Of her
mind, administered from tongue sur

Is reported to have garnished her speech
with certain stage "ssides, to the effect
that she had been in the White House
since LINCoLN's time, and that never
had been ranked by "a mere Speakers
wife," and that it was late in the day
to be subjected to such q "humillia-
tiop," and that "she would not stand it
that she wouldn't etc, ETC., until poor

ABOUT BOYS.

IL boys wish To succeed in life, let
them bear burdens when young, and
let not the vanity or misguided affection
OF parents or guardians allow them a
life Of perfect ease and nOn-restaint.
Never suffer boy to shirk his duty
until Sinking becomes habit, nor per-
NIT him to take the easiest and lightest
part Of any employment because it re-
quires less effort, but teach him that his
muscles must be developed aud
strengthened by proper exercise, IL he
would be healthy, and that toll emo
bles the boy or man, and it is as neces-
sary for him to take his part as for
others.
Never suffer boy to dodge around as
if seeking for something to do, when in
reality he is only trying to keep out of
the way Of work or endesvoring to kill
time, In order that another may per
fern what he Is anxious to shun.
Let him endure cold, fatigue, expos
ure, privstion, II you would make him
strong, energetic, self.reliant, and un-
complaining. The more luxurious and
effeminate his life, the greater will be
his needs, and the more severe and de-
pressing his dis&ppointment5 and trials,
for the latter must fall to the lot Of
every childOf earth, there being no ex-
emption law fer any.
Teach boys to enlarge their moral
sense ana to sharpen, not blunt, their
senslbllities, and let them be slow to
repudiate the higher claims and de.
mands Of an exalted manhood.
Boys should be taught method and
economy, for without these essentials
to success, all efforts may prove = failure
In securing living. Let them have q
place for everything, and keep IL there;
30 that when wanted no time may be
lost In . fruitless search; and let every
boy be taught TO eoOnomize his means,
and never permit the outlay to be equal
10 the income, for IL this bs the case, he
may strive forever, aud never lay up
anything for q rainy day.
Never suffer boy to say, al don't
rsren when he has committed some
misdemeanor, or. been derelict in the
discharge Of any duty, for after awhile
he xillIearn to believe he does not care
20 violate an law, civil, social or domes-
tic. 49,

VOTE FOR MEN.

If the citizens of Choteau county Will
vote for men and not party next Tues
day they can select a thoroughly capable
and deserving set of officials-men who
can be relied upon fora faithful perform
ance of duty and an economical admin
istration of county affairs. We are
pleased to note hat the "old party" IS
not 'solid" in a single precinct IL the
county and that the prospects of the de-
feat of that ticket are most encourag-
ing. Democratic rule in this county
has been unbroken since its organiza-
ton, and, as q result, we have sad
died upon us an immense debt
with nothing to show for more than
half of it. The only two counties that
have a larger Indebtedness than Choteau
are those that gave bigger democratic
majorities two years ago, viz: Mlssoula
and Custer. Is it not time to call a halt
and get back to faithful and economical
local rule? Does any n imagine that
the way to do this is to continue the old
crowd in office? Nobody can reason
ably hold such an opinion. The true
solution of the problem is to vote for the
best men next Tuesday without regard
to the ticket they may be on, and in
this way a change can be brought about
that will be of inestimable benefit to
the county. It is the inalienable right
of every American citizen to scratch
his ticket according to his own sweet
will, and we trust that the pencil will
be freely used by the voters Of this coun-
ty next Tuesday. a change in county
with the voters to bring it about.

THE ISSUE.

The issue in this election is not a party
one and politics should have only the
remotest bearing on the result. What
is chiefly desired is to secure an efficient,
economical and honest administration
of the affairs Of the county for the en-
suing two years. 1t makes but little
difference to the tax payers whether a
democrat or. republican is installed in
office, SO that he is q nan competent
for the position and who will faithfully
perform his duties. This, then, should
be the issue in the local election-the
selection Of the best men for the several
offices. That it is necessary to eliminate
political feeling and look simply to the
qualifications of the candidates is best
shown by the last grand jury report,
which presents in a forcible n the
| necessity of a change in the administra-
ton of this county. On the republican
ticket are the names Of some Of the best
men in the county, and if the people by
their votes call upon these men to adj
minister the affairs Of the county for
the next two years, we can assure them
that the work will be faithfully and
honestly performed. The success Of the
republican ticket would give us the best
administration Choteau county has ever
had and inaugurate a new era in county
affairs. It is to the Interest Of every
taxpayer t consider this question from
a non-partisah standpoint and vote for
the men who are best qualified to per-
form the duties of the offices for which
they are candidates.

VOL. 5, NO. /.

This number Of the WEEKLY RIVER
PRESS marks the beginning Of a new vol
ume. and a few words in reference to the
paper are in order. -Four years ago, the
9th Of this month, the first issue of the
RIVER PRESS was sent out upon its mis-
sion, meeting with a favorable impress
sion on every hand. Since then, year
after year, it has kept full pace with the
development of northern Montana,
gradually widening its circle Of ipfu-
tnce, until to-day it has a much larger
circulation in the great territory tribu-
tarv to Fort Benton than any other pa
per published. Everywhere it is re-
ceived with a favor that is gratifying to
the publishers and augurs we'll for the
continued prosperity of the paper. The
circulation of the WEEKLY RIVER
Press is greater now than it has eve
been, despite the "hard times" and our
lists are constantly growing. It shall
be our aim to make the present volume
an improvement on all preceding ones,
and we hope to receive the continued
generous support Of the citizens of north
ern Montana.

Shonkin Shots.

The beautiful weather of the past two
weeks has been we'll improved by ;ll i'll
getting ready for winter. Nearly every
one has finished digging potatoes and
gathering vegetables, and very few
farmers wilIcomplain this fall of being
behind with their work.
G.. w. Thrailkill, with Morrow &
Sons machine, is on the upper Shonkin
threshing grain, of which it is estimated
there are from 5000 to 10, 900 bushels yet
in the stack. These gentlemen were SO
unfortunate as to break an important
casting connected with the power, and
were obliged to send to the factory for
repairs, thus losing considerable time,
but nov all is solid and Cal. will make

mountains last Monday night, but SO
Gar our Nimrods have failed to kill n

Many of the farmers who have no
other source of income except that de-
reved from grain and other ranch pro-
duets cannot sell their crops at any
price, thus making it difficult to obtain
every day supplies. Quite a large num-
Der of this class are taking their wheat
to Sun River to the Touring mill Of Ellis
& Steel, and thus get their flour with
out paying any cash. Fully s., 900
pounds Of wheat have already been
drawn to this mill, and there is all of
$4,000 pounds more to go. All who have
returned and are using the flour are
well satisfied and say that the bread
made from it is equal to that made from
any of the popular brands in the mark
