Strayed from the Path.


ly gentleman, evidently ignorant of
the ways of the world, arrived in
this city from Minnesota. He had
the appearance of one who had seen
much trouble, and from his uncer-
tain movements and suspicious man
ner Of carrying on a conversation
had evidently met with many re-
bluffs during his travels. His mission
was an exceedingly sad one, and any
one with particle of sympathy for his
fellow man could not speak to him
without feeling an interest in his
case and a fervent hope that he
might accomplish the object of his
mission, if not here, at least some
where near. His story was one too
oft repeated and too common now-aA
days. 1t seems that the old man,
far away among the fertile valleys
of Minnesota, has a rural home that
up to a few months ago was made
happy by the presence Of a lovely
and beloved daughter, blessed with
light heart, a pleasant disposition
and pretty face. Her smile bright
ened the homely home, and she
moved about the idol of her parents.
The old mans whole quantity of
love was concentrated in this treas
ure. He had watched with fond
heart and loving eye the slow de-
velopment Of the child to woman
hood, and his life was devoted to her
every wish. She was the joy of his
old days, and his future hopes CEN
tered in her happiness. Her slight
est wish was law to him, and her
every want, as far as laid in his
power, was supplied. In an evil
hour the tempter came, and the uns
fortunate woman fed from the only
true protector she will ever know.
The old, old result followed. A So
cIal Outcast she entered upon ca
reer of shame. The blow to that
father was at first overwhelming.
Bowed down with a grief too deep
to be allayed by sympathy, far more
poignant than that occasioned by
death, he could not be comforted.
At first he thought that il she would
throw away the brightest jewel of
woman her existence should be torn
from his heart and he would only
remember her as dead. But the old
yearning would come back. The
fathers love overcome the first resO-
luton, and praying that he might
succeed in rescuing his child from
degradation and sin he set out to
nnd her and appeal to the remaining
sparks of wOmanhOod to abandon
her ways, return to her home, her
past forgiven and forgot. He traced
her from one town to another west
ward, always too late to find her.
He has met with many obstacles,
disappointments and discourage
mentS, frequently from those who
should have enlisted their aid and
encouragement The last place he
heard of the frail daughter was at
Miles City, and he came here
buoyed up by that hope born of a
love that knows no failure. So far
his researches have been fruitless,
but we sincerely hope that provi-
dence may yet aid the unfortunate
man, and that when he comes face
to face with the erring woman that
she may abandon The course that
she has been pursuing, return to her
former home and gladden. the heart
of the fcrgiving father, filling the
years of his life with hap
piness and contentment.

ON A TEAR.
A Couple of Strangers Bent ON Paint.
ing the Town Carmine.

Possessing all of the good and bad
auxillaries Of city, Spokane Falls
presents an inviting field for the
gentle cowboy and the tough nut
from away down to come in, spend
his money freely and have one
of those high old times that are gen.
orally followed by a stiff headache
and a black eye or contusions of other
portions of the anatomy. Yet it is
not often that the opportunity for a
grand spread is taken advantage of
orif it is the participants go in on the
quiet, and if any injury is sustained
or inflicted it does not become pub
licly known. However, a tear with
unpleasant consequences occurred
Wednesday morning. Information
was conveyed to Marshal Hyde that
a couple os men, laboring under the
stimulation of gin, were in possession
of the premises of a house of ill-fame,
on Front street, and were making
themselves cOnspicuously obnoxious
by using the yard as a pistol range,
shooting into the building and airing
murderous thr0ts. Marshal Hyde
and officer Warren at once re-
paired to the scene, and came
upon them just as one of the
men fred at the target. Hyde
had his revolver in hand, and ordered
the fellow to give up his weapon.
The young man, who was stopping
down at the time, sprang to his feet,
and, with an oath, demanded Hyde's
authority. The officer quietly in
formed him. The cowboy pointed
his gun at Hyde and swore that he
would not be taken. Quick as light
ming Hyde struck the beliigerent
desperate on the head with the pis-
tOl, and both officers closed on him,
Warren having disarmed the other
fellow. The plucky cowboy fought
out of the yard on to the street, for
tunately without inflicting a particle
of injury to the officers, where he
was Overpowered, but not until he
had received severe injuries about
the head, from which the blood
flowed profusely. The obstreperous
couple were locked up for several
hours, and were taken before Judge
Allen in the afternoon, when they
were taught to respect the peace and
dignity of the city by fines of $40
each. Both Marshal Hyde and officer
Warren are deserving of praise for
the nerve and bravery displayed in
this arrest. For years Mr.. Hyde has
never shirked his duty, and the most
desperate men have learned to respect
his courage. Only for his GOODNESS
and cat-like agility he would have
been handled roughly in this instance
as the men were not of the class to
give up without a struggle. With
this class of. officers on duty the
rough element will find it healthy to
go slow in the city.

Look to It.

Our attention has been called to
the esisting broken condition Of a
number Of the county roads, not only
those leading into this city but the
many that traverse the county In
various directions. While the coun-
try is comparatively new, yet there
Is no reason why some system should
not be laid down and followed out
in the matter Of keeping those high
ways In use in good repair. Com
plants reach us that in many places
washouts cut up the roads, and the
county is particularly destitute in
the matter Of bridges, so much so
that In some localities travel with
loaded wagons Is next to impossible.
We recc~nize the fact that it re-
quires time, labor and money to
build up good roads, but the best in
the world will rapidly 60 to wreck II
a watchful eye is not kept on them
and repairs be Immediately made
where repairs become necessary. 1t
is one Of the duties Of the County
Commissioners to see that public
highways are kept up, and when
theynogleot that important matter
they are derelict in carrying out the
requirement Of the office to which
they have been elected. Let those
vested with the authority for carry
ing out road work see to this very
important subject and make an effort
to put all Of the principal county
roads In good passable condition. 1t
Is an Internal improvement in which

; A FinxGtoF BEArrY.-That gorgeous
lily, the Victoria Regia, blossomed Sun
day night at DR.. -Riehardson's garden IN
all its loveliness. Between 200 and 3OO
people visited the grounds to see 1t,
among whom were lawyers, physicians
and other professional and non-profes-
.sional. gentlemen, including Profs. Tracy
and Earle, of the Horticultural Depart
ment of the Worlds Exposition. The
ladies, too, always eager to enjoy the
beautiful. thronged the garden until
what with the flowers in bloom and the
radiant faces, the picture was most bril-
liant. At 6:30 the grand Victoria com
menced to unfold its petals, and by 5 p;
M was a rosette or rare colorlng ana
nearly eighteen inches in diameter. Its
delightful fragrance permeated the whole
atmosphere around. The flower was
double, and if thing of beauty can be
proud, surely it ought to have been OF the
reception it received. Those who were
fortunate enough to see it were loud in
their praise of its rare beauty, and left
regretting that there was not enough OF
them for -1imes-IPm0crdt.

LOOKING AT BOTH SIDES.


The good wife hustled about the house.
Her face still bright with a pleasant smile,
As broken snatches of happy song
Strengthened her hands ana heart the
while,
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
His little clay pipe within his lips.
And all he d made and all he had lost,
Ready and clear on his finger tips.
'.Good wife, I've just been thinking bit:
Nothing has done very well this year;
Money is bound to be hard to get,
Everything's sure to be very dear.
How the cattle are going to feed
How we're to keep the boys at school,
Us kind of debit and credit sum
I can't make balance by any rule
She turned her around from the baking
s-ssss-sshoard
And She faced him there with cheerful
laugh
why, husband, dear, one would really 9illsah ii
That the good rich wheat was only chai1.
And what if wheat is only chaff.
So long as we both are well and strong
I'm not woman to worry a pit
But, somehow or other we got along
Into all lives some rain must fall,
Over all lands the storm must beat,
But when the storm and rain are er
The sunshine is sure to be twice as sweet
Through every strait we have found road'
IN every grle1 we nave iotillu soiS'
We have had to bear and had to wait
But somehow or other, we get along
For thirty years we have loved each other,
Stood by each other whatever befel;
Six boys have calledu us father and mother,
Andall of them living and doing well.
We owe no man penny, my dear;
And both of us loving and well and strong
Good man. | wish you would smoke again
And think how well we have got along.
He filled his pipe with pleasant laugh,
He kissed his wife with a tender pride;
He said, "I'll do as you tell me love;
I'll Just count up on the other side.
She left him then with his better thought,
And left her work with low. sweet song.
A song that's followed me many year

Gus delegations of Eastern wool man
ufacturers have visited Washington,
all Of whom are opposed to any
change in the present law. The tin
plate makers, amalgamated iron and
steel workers, and Louisiana sugar
planters, have all sent delegations to
Washington, to oppose the bill, all Of
whom say that they will be ruined if
1t passes while other producers are
bringing all the influence possible to
bear upon Congress, to prevent the
passage of the bill. 1t is evident
that, as predicted by the TINES of the

posed to the free trade doctrines of
the dominant wing OF the Democratic
party, and that they will lose no op-
portunity to manifest that opposition,

4 Big Strike IN the Morning Star,

To THE EDITOR OF THE TlMEs:-I
wish you would publish in your paper
that there has been a big strike made
here, in the Morning Star mine, at the
depth of 1875 feet, of 2. feet of high
grade ore. The owners of the mine
worked in it all winter, but recently
had to stop, on account of water in
the shaft. MINER
