SOME SUGGESTIONS.

II II were not for the splendid manner ir
which he acquits himself, we would tremblt
for our share Of the responsibility In getting
our friend Hendry, Of the Livingston Enter
prise, into the address" business. He re-
Gently delivered . practical, excellent one
before the Teachers Institute at Bozeman
and said some very sensible things, from
which we quote briefly:
at Is an opinion very rapidly gaining
ground that the proper education for this age
should include industrial training-instruc-
ton In manual labor. The Board of Educa-
ton Of the city of Boston, the chief center
Of learning In the United States, has lately
arranged for industrial departments In Its
high schools, where such pupils a. may de.
sire may learn some useful handicraft, and
IL 10 not improbable that before long this
will become part Of the regular common
school course Of that city Of culture. II has
been too much the idea that what Is called .
good education must necessarily be the pre-
Jude TO . professional or mere business
career. Young men who graduated from .
high school or college thought they were
putting their learning to poor use il they
became farmers or mechanics. This Is all
wrong. There 10 no walk In life, however
humble, where general education IL not OF
inestimable advantage and does not place its
fortunate possessor far ahead Of bis less f..
vored fellows. At the same time the knowl-
edge Of some useful handicraft Is q most i'm
portant item Of the highest education. The
professions and the clerkships are becoming
overcrowded; they are only the very best
men who attain prominence through mere
mental labor, and only those OF some prof.
cheney who can make an ordinary living by
such means. But the blacksmith, the wood
worker, the engineer, the printer, the stone
cutter need never be idle, but can find
employment wherever his lot 10 cast, and
Whatever be the reverses OF fortune, so long
~ he has health. The boys should know
useful trades, should know how to work
with their hands % we'll - their heads.
Skillful hands and disciplined minds make
an invincible combination with which to en-
counter the world"
It might be said, In addition to the above,
that the education Of our girls has grown
too ornamental and unwise. There is much
art and music and language, and embroidery
and such frills, and very little sewing, cook
Ing and housekeeping taught or sspired TO-.
II seems TO US our schools have lost sight Of
the practical side Of life, and domestic duties
are regarded 1t least Is unimportant. These
accomplishments are desirable, but not TO
the exclusion or neglect Of the homely du.
ties that every boy and girl should be pre-
pared TO meet. For ninety-ni In hun
dred Of our young people . good English
education, good trade for the boys and .
good housekeeping training for the girls,
would DO better than the way ninety nine
In . hundred are educated now. "The
school Of the future" will be more practical
than the school Of to- day, and the sooner we
come to IL the better.

LAST week an empty balloon was captured
at Monmouth, Ills, with portion Of . shirt
attached TO tie anchor, and there was great
apprehension that some eronaut had been
killed. A later dispatch from Burlington,
Iowa, says: "Tbe empty balloon which de-
scended at Monmouth, Ills, yesterday, and
created such . sensation, was one In which
IN eronsut named williams was TO make
IN ascent from the fair grounds here, accom-
panied by newly married couple. A strong
wind was blowing during the morning, and
shortly before the time Of departure rent
was discovered In the bag through which the
gas was escaping. The bridal party objected
TO taking passage In IN unsafe balloon, and
Prof. Williams essayed 10 mako the ascent
alone. However, II was found that the
escape Of gas had been 30 great that the bas.
ket was detached. The balloon would not

about twenty yards from the starting point.
A, this moment George Pfenning, who had
made several ascents, exchanged places with
the Professor. The balloon slowly arose
and drified of to the north, but came down
about twelve miles above the city, and Pfen.
ming alighted. The balloon, freed from the
weight, again arose, and In doing % por-

DOWN THEY COME.
The Unlawful Fences to be Destroyed BY Mil
itary.

An order was received from Washington
yesterday, says the Cheyenne Sun ofthe l7th,
directing the commanders Of all military
posts in Wyoming to furnish whstever de-
tails Of troops that may be necessary to I'm
mediately carry into effect the Presidents
proclamation regarding illegal fences incios-
Ing government land, by tearing them down.
The military detail will act under the direc-
ton of the special Of the land department
for Wyoming. There will be an additional
agent here in few days to assist james A.
George and act under his directions, and the
troops will proceed to such places IS he may
designate. Mr.. George anticipates no diff
Guilty in enforcing the order, anG says that
In many instances the stock men will re-
move their own fences upon receipt Of OFF,
cial notice. During his trip north Agent
George distributed about 800 copies Of the
Presidents proclamation, especially between
Cheyenne and Buffalo, in order that the par
ties who had fenced government land might
know what was coming.
While this Is claimed by some stock men
to be good move for the cattle interest, the
Sun still holds its opinion, expressed over .
year ago, that the first effect of this order
will be prejudicial to the smaller cattle own
ers, as they cannot afford to maintain men
to look after their widely scattered little
herds. A man with even 800 to 500 head OF
cattle requires more land for their pastursge
than he can possibly acquire title to from
the government, and in turning them loose
be will lose much larger percentage than
those who have large herds.
1t Is believed by some that the cattle bust
ness can be conducted on large scale more
profitsbly, however, without fences than
with them. There will now be an oppor-
runity to test this.
Most of the cattle growers have acquired
title to large tracts Of land and will there
fore remain undisturbed, while others will
no doubt extend their ownership As speedily
Is possible, so there will not be the sweep
ing removal many anticipate.

OF the affair. .......

and thinking Of going into the stock bust

Missouri. He visited these parties and
agreed to 20 into the stock business with
them. He found they were going to do him
out OF So, 900. He settled with them AZ best
he could, located on the east side Of the river
where Medora now Is, and obtained land for
grazing by locating It with Valentine Scrip.
Meanwhile he had sought to gain the good
will Of hunters, with whose privileges his
operations were interfering, by agreeing to
let them have horses or sheep TO keep on
shares. Just before he was called to New
York on important business, ODonnell
called on him and ageeed to take herd Of
horses on shares; but during his absence
parties antagonistic to him had alienated the
hunters from Kim and fred O'Donnell with
ambition to drive the witness and his friends
from the country. He was informed In May
when he came back of the hostility TO him,
and that his life and property were threat
cned. In June, when O'Donnell and fellow
hunters came in, thsy were Boosting they

Bishop SHARP, Of Salt Lake, was indicted
some time since for polygamy. That the
Issue brought home TO him was giving him
much thought and trouble was evident 10 oil
his friends, and bis final determination was
looked for sollcitude by many Mormons and
Gentiles. We notice by recent Salt Lake
dispatch that he has reached wise conclu-
sion. The dispatch says: "Bishoph John
Sharp, Utah Director Of the Union Pacific,
one Of the wealthiest and most influential
Mormons living, appeared In court to-day
and pleaded guilty to the charge Of unlawful
cohAbitation. He claimed that the plural
marriage was entered into before there was

ing TO their religion, but he recognized the
supremacy Of his adopted country's laws

he would not advise any one else TO break

charged on payment Of same" The only
spot that was on Bishop Sharps character
was his polygamous relations. There Is no
doubt IL has latterly been the occasion Of
much distress TO him. II will be well II the
