The company has always been willing

Great Falls tribune., 1885-12-26
TERRITORY, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1886.
NOT OUR FIGHT.

/
The county commissioners and the
River Press are having a war of
words concerning the assessment of
stock cattle in this county. It appears
that the board of commissioners in
structed the assessor to list stock cat
tie at the uniform price Of SO per
head. The assessor thought other
wise, disregarded their instructions,
which right no one will question. and
listed cattle at s25 per head. When
the commissioners met as board Of
equalization, the assessors report was
taken up, and on a vote-there being
only two commissioners present-as
to whether his report should be sus-
tanned, one Of the commissioners
voted ''yes" and the other mo- The
report not being rejected, was clearly
sustained. Later on, at another meet
ing, the commissioners not acting as
board of equalization, it was
proposed to give the cattle men
who were advised to pay their
taxes "a special rebate for the
amount paid on their cattle over $50
per head There being no fund pro-
vided by which the treasurer could
legally honor these rebates, he refused
to notice them, and the commission
ers in return rejected his report for
the quarter ending December l.
This is a plain statement of the
facts as we understand them, and so
far as the TRIBUNE is concerned, ends
there, as we do not propose taking
any sides in the matter, further
than to state that we believe that the
assessor and treasurer did their duty
in this matter. Any Of our readers are
privileged to think dlfferentently
if they choose. Commenting
editorially upon tue rejec
ton Of the treasurer's report, the
Press says:
The board of commissioners are
still at it; still hurting whereases and
resolutions at a defenceless people:
still claiming that the board is the as
SCISSOR and the latter officer nonen-
tity; still harping about a board Of
equalization mot sustaining the as
sessor," when the vote was a tie; still
making breaks Of the most horrible
character.
The freshest piece Of folly emanat-
ing from is its action IN ''rejecting"
the report Of the treasurer because he
did not comply with the celebrated
'order No. l. established, contrary to
law and common sense, a special re-
bate fund for the benefit of the cattle |
men. This is the cap sheaf of tie
whole business. The treasurer's re
port, as is well known, comes up to the |
end of the quarter-December 1st |
He can take cognizance in his report |
Of no official act or business after that |
date, and still the honorable board OF |
commissioners reject his report for !
the quarter ending December 1st be-
cause he did not obey an order issued
by them December 9th. The treas
urer might, if he chose, take cogno-
zance Of that order in his next quar-
terly report, but it is clearly not his
fault If the commissioners were a mat
ter Of nine or ten days too late in is
suing the celebrated document.
The result of this matter will be |
that the treasurer his report being
pay out no money,
can redeem no warrants, and the
county must suffer considerable loss
in the way of interest.
Great Falls tribune., 1885-12-26
ADVICE TO HUSBANDS.

Now as the swearing off, day is
near, the TRIBUNE presents to its read
ers few suggestions that husbands
will do well not to follow if they de-
sire domestic felicity during the COM
ing year:
Don't trouble yourself to be on
hand promptly at your meals. Your
meals. Your wife will keep your sup
per as warm as toast in the oven for
you. She enjoys your tardiness Don't
hurry. It's vulgar to hurry.
Don't begin to eat your breakfast
as soon as you sit down at the table.
Bury yourself in the morning paper
first for about fifteen minutes. Then
your breakfast will be nice and cold
and less liable to give you the dys-
pepsia. Your wife enjoys eating hers
in silence and then watching you bolt
yours. It increases feminine amia-
bility.
Don't hesitate to remark on the
thinness of the coffee and the tough
hess of the steak. Remarks on the
dement's Of the food are encouraging
to your housekeepers, and an accom-
plished cook may thereby. be made of
an inexperienced and amiable wife,.
Don't hang up the towel when you
have finished using it. Toss it lightly
to the top of the picture frame or onto
the head-board of the bedstead. Your
wife expects to put it in the clothes
hamper, anyway, and by the time she
has walked a few yards on the bed
springs, or joyfully rescued it from
the picture, she will be pleasantly re-
minded of the hamper and of-you!
Don't neglect to kick up row if
your buttons are not all on and your
underwear in perfect order Don't
spare any pains to encourage habits
of domesticity in your wife. Many
exertions in this direction have been
known to transform light hearted
girl into an Incompatible house
keeper
Don't feel any hesltancy in inquir-
ing of your wife what she did with
the 81 you gave her four weeks ago.
Carelessness in monetary matters has
been known to engender extraya
gances Of a very serious nature in Wo-
men. Never forget the old saying
that "a woman can throw out of the
back window with a spoon more than
a man can pitch into the front door
with a shovel and ''willful waste
breeds woful want"
Don't fail to break up few articles
of furniture the first time she reads
one Of your letters or looks into your
pockets. The exercise may notssbe
agreeable, but the impression you
make may'do you good turn in the
future, as she is liable to find some
thing she would not approve OF.
Don't contract the habit of waking
easily. You will be often annoyed by
the children if you do, and when your
wife rises in the morning to build the
fire she feels as fresh as bird and
she loves to see you enjoying the re-
freshing slumber of an innocent child.
Don't let her know your are awake.
Don't allow your wife to handle
any money in running the.house Pay
all the bills yourself, and then you
know just where all the money goes
to. Women are not experiencedEin
monetary matters. They are liable to
pay their lady friends car fare, e,rand
they are fond of ribbons. Some are
even addicted to foreign missions.

4 City in ParaOua -Wo0ien Who are
WUIk r.
On Friday morning. looked out Of my
cabin window to find that we were tied up at
the most yellow wharf that ever saw, aud
in front Z, I large, barn-like building. l did
not dream that We were at Asuucion, but 60
ing on deck found that the barn was the
custom-house for Paraguay, and that when
we went ashore We were in the city Of the re-
publica incognita. very nice little city we
found it to be. Not that it Is pretty or pre-
tentious, or worth visiting-but it is an en-
terprising, republican, go-ahead place. Most
of the houses are small and old, and are built
without any regard to being on the streets.
You cannot imagine more irregular as
semblage OF houses, but the symmetry with
which the public buildings are built offsets
this. The presidents house, government
house, arsenal, barracks, and custom-hous
stand on wide boulevards and, with the ex-
ception of the latter, are as well built as the
similar buildings in any American city of the
same rank. The word ''ssuncion' YOU know,
is not Spanish Tor ascension" as We used
to believe when school boys, but for assump-
ton. and In the case Of the Paraguayan city
is well bestowed, for It is not often in South
Ameoica that there can be found city that
is more assuming politically, socially and
generally. Appropriations are voted by con-
grcss and that body also fixes the salaries Of
the officials. The president receives $4,000,
the vice-president So, 900; the ministry, 81
500; congressman, $500, and the judges Of
the supreme court, $3.50. The population is
about 800, 900; aud what is strange about it
is that there are only about 10000 men and
go, 900 women. OF course the females are
the farmers, producers and laborers- They
work slayisnly and are very poor. While the
men sit at home and drink and smoke, they
indefaugaby toll and support the families.

PROG REssIyE EUCHRE.
Novel Game to Whttc A,ray Long Winter
EreHfngs.


From the Louisville Courier Journal.
Progressive euchre takes twelve persons.
There are three tables, each supplied with
cards. Take the aces, kings aud queens from
one of the packs. and after they have been
sauffled, let each person draw one, the ones
drawing aces going to the ace table, those
drawing kings to the king table, and those
drawing queens to the queen table-the per-
sons drawing black cards being partners,a and
those drawing red partners. When this has
been done, the PLAYING commences; regular
euchre Is played. No games count save those
at the ace table, and each players record at
that table is kept by the scorer. When
game has been finished at the ace tatle, the
parties who are defeated go to the queen table,
and those who have made the most points ut
the king table take places aud try to defeat
their victors, while the parties who have made
the most points at the queen table take the
places Of the persons who left the king table
for the ace table. At the king and queen
tables they do OF stop playing because they
have finished game but keep right on until
tue game is finished at the ace table; nor, on
the other hand, IF game has been concluded
at the ace table and the king or queen tables
sets have not finished their game they do not
try to flush il. The ones making the most
points are the vietors, whether less or more
than five-the regular number for game
has been made. It Is usual to give some
present or favor TO the person Winning the
most games at the ace table, and also the
ones getting the fewest.
