it; but they are unfortunate in the language
used in their tracts, and lectures, and newspa-
pers, to say nothing of their private converse
ton. It savors of Pharisaism, at least, to de-
nounce the opposition to their ideas and their
methods as movement in the interests of the
liquor men, and to ascribe the lack of public
interest in and light attendance at their
meetings to an indifference to the
cause of reform. AS matter Of
fact public temperance meetings as
they are usually conducted no longer meet a
want. It is rare that member of the class
sought to be saved or benefited enters one of
their gatherings. Men and women, who have
themselves had the sins Of fathers, and hus-
bands, and brothers visited upon them, have
no desire to have their sufferings renewed by
listening to lurid experiences Of others. The
emotional appeals of excited speakers to put
down the s'curse of rum" grow monotonous,
and when prohibition" is preached as the
only method of circumventing the alcoholic
devil large proportion of intelligent listeners
lose interest in subsequent proceedings. Agi-
tation of the subject is indispensable, but it
is no longer necessary to inform the public
that intemperance is an evil. People in all
classes of society are firmly convinced of that
The best elements of the community are all
in favor Of limitation Of the business;
few but would rejoice with exceeding Joy if all
alcoholic beverages could be swept from the
face of the earth and the knowledge of man
kind by legislative enactment; but because
they do not believe this can be done, they are
not, therefore, opposed to temperance, as the
"Prohibitionists" intimate. Instead Of spend
ing their time at semi political, semi-religious
and altogether useless conventions and con-
ferences, the sensible portion of society goes
its way, and inculcates its doctrines quietly
and to some purpose. Children are taught by
parent and teacher to abhor drunkenness
The instructors of youth have not waited for
the introduction of textbooks on the effects
of alcohol to point out to the rising genera
ton the moral and physical consequences of
its use Men and women who could themselves
indulge in wines and other liquors without
harm, deny themselves lest they lead others
astray. Dissipation is frowned upon every
where save in the sluns, and the education of
the people goes on in right and rational wav
1t is process which requires time, and will
not bear the forcing which the Prohibitionists
attempt. While these people are beating the
air and injuring the cause they profess to love,
the real temperance workers are content to be
patient believing that as result of their
efforts the day will finally come when the
legislation now demanded will scarcely be
necessary because the saloon will have been
driven out by the irresistible force of public
disapproval

The Stallion Kings.

The race between Phallas and Maxey
Cobb, which took place at Cleveland on
Saturday of last week, demonstrated
beyond question the fact that the first
named horse is clearly the superior of
any entire trotter now ON the turf that
he outclasses the others to such an ex-
tent that from strictly trotting staud-
point there is really no ground for COM
parison. The contest was one between
representative branches of the same
family, both Dictator and Happy Medi-
um, the slres of the contending horses
being sons of Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
and the result only confirmed and en-
phasized the opinion heretofore held
BY majority of breeders and horsemen,
that the Dictators have the first claim to
recognition among the Hambletonians,
next to them coming the descendants of
George Wilkes. The event in one sea
son of three such notable trotters as Jay
Eye See, Phallas and Director, all of
which have proved themselves to be
among the gamest as well as the fastest
ones in the land, could not fail of calling
general attention to their sire, Dictator,
and their subsequent performances have
only added to the fame of the family of
which they are the most distinguished
members. When Pnallas lowered the
stallion record of 2.154, made in 1876, by
Smuggler, and placed 2.1Sa to his credit
there was none to dispute his claim to
the first place among stations SO far as
the question of speed was concerned,
and his subsequent exhibitions in COM
pany with Jay Eye See showed that his
performance at Chicago was not an acci-
dent. When Maxey Cobb, toward the
close of the trotting. season, turned the
Providence track in 2.1SI there was at
once desire on the part OF horsemen to
see him meet Phallas in race, the
match at Cleveland last week being the
result of this feeling.

Helena's Enterprise.

In matters of importance to its future
growth and prosperity. Helena has made
unusual strides in the past two years.
It's moneved and energetic citizens have
awakened to the necessity of building if
they expect to reap, and with that idea
as the basis of action they have reared
magnificent blocks of brick and stone,
placing their surplus capital into things
that will assure them fine future for
their town. They have exemplifed
their confidence in their towns future
and will thereby turn the tide Of capital
towards their town. Had they done
this at an earlier day their reward would
have come on swifter wings, but even at
this day they viii have reason to be
proud of their foresight. Among the
latest investors drawn to their town is
Mr.. A. M. Ester, who has purchased
seven acres of land near the city. upon
which he will erect at once complete
sampling and concentrating works.
Fraser & Chan bers, of Chicago, have re-
ceived the contract to furnish the ma,
terial for the large works. which viii
consist of a Blake crusher, Cornish
rolls, jigs, pulverizing mill. etc The
benefit of similar works in Bozeman is
obvious and it would seem that the in
difference with which our moneyed men
regard the enterprise makes Bozeman's
proverbial enterprise and public spirit a
dead letter. There are men in Bozeman
and around it who could erect such
works and not miss the money from
their business. The enterprise is not a
chimerical one, but to the contrary an
investment that will pay large returns
from the start. The vast mining coun-
try surrounding Bozeman and depend
ant upon her for its supply Of coal and
other necessaries 10 carry on the refine
ment of ore, would seem to be an IN
centive sufficient TO induce capitalists to
take hold of this enterprise at once, but,
strange to say, we linger along without
making move in that direction.

Ten People Drowned.

One of the saddest casualties Mime
apolis has ever known occurred at Lake
Minnetonka Sunday afternoon. Be
tween the hours of 4 and O'Clock a
party of the city's best known and estim-
able residents met sudden and appal-
ling death beneath the waters of the
lake. Ten lives in all were lost. They
were Alonzo Cooper Rand, aged "a; Mrs.
A C. Rand, aged 81 Miss Mary H. Rand,
aged lS; Harvey H. Rand, aged l5 /;
Frank Rand, aged 10; John r. Coyken-
dali, aged 81; Mrs. Luella Coykendall,
aged 26; Katie Coykendall, aged 5;
George Mcdonald, aged 26 Robert Hus-
sey, aged II years.
The sorrowful catastrophe was caused
by the overturning of the steam pleas
ure Yacht, Minnie Cook, in which the
party were sailing, during a heavy rain
and wind storm. The boat and all on
board were lost under circumstances
making it hard to realize that such an
affair had transpired. There were only
three witnesses and so quickly did
the little craft and her party disappear,
that they found it hard indeed to believe
what they had seen. Mr. Rand was
once mayor of Minneapolis, and was a
wealthy and honored citizen of that

The Benton Fire.

On Wednesday night, the 9Th, fire
broke out in the office of F. G. Roose-
velt's furniture store at Benton and COM
pletely destroyed that building The
office of the River Press was in the same
building, and although much of its ma
terial was saved, it is as the River Press
says:
"Evervone knows what "mess" can
be made of printing Office when it has
to be dumped out into the street under
such circumstances. There is probably
no kind af material that be more easily
damaged, but we must thank our friends
for rendering such willing hands and ex-
ercising every care possible un-
der the circumstances. Un-
fortunately the weekly forms, Wool
Grower forras and a great many job
forms. on the stones, were destroyed, in
juring, moreor less, every font of type
in the Office Our paper stock was saved
in tolerable condition but much Of it is
damaged On the whole, we can be
thankful that the loss is not greater and
that our stock of ''pi' is not more ex-
tensive.
The total loss reaches a pretty big
figure. Mr.. Roosevelt estimates his loss
on the building and stock at $17 600; he
is insured for $4,000. The Odd Fellows
building (owned by Collins, Duer & Co..
cost $4,000 two years ago, and is total
wreck insurance. $4,000. The River
Press was insured for $500 in the

Our Ex-Governor.

The Poughkepsie New York; News
Press, published at Governor Carpenters
former home, grows facetious over that
gentleman's removal, as follows:
1t is understood that the governor had
hoped to remain in his office for at least
year, as it was his belief that he might
in that time contract such acquaintance
that he could open successful career in
the territory, and perhaps take shy at
the United States senate when Mon
tana should be admitted to a pew with
in the United States. He was appoint
ed governor just six months ago. Just
twelve months ago he was whooping up
the boys of the waverly stalwart legion
IN Chicago, where he and that other
reforming statesman, Roosevelt, went
down under the stained plume of the
Tatooed Man, to come up again in lit
tie while as contributor of two whole
dollars toward the purchase of Blaine
banner. And now he has lost his re-
ward. Republics are indeed ungrateful.

Dynagraph Cars.

The New England newspapers give a
long account of the Dudley dynagraph car,
which has recently finished its automatic
inspection of the track of the Boston &
Albany Railroad. The machinery of this
car is operated by levers and electricity,
and records on a running strip of paper
with twenty pens, by the graphic method
of curves on one or both sides of base
line, the actual condition of the track. The
ruled paper passes under the pens at the
rate of eight and eight-tenths feet to the
mile of track, and when the run is ended,
the strip is stenographic and easily de-
cipherable report of the notes and impress
sions of the registering apparatus. From
three to five thousand miles of paper are
kept in the car, and fifteen gallons of blue
ink are used to every 100 miles of track in
spotting defective places.
Great surprise is expressed atthe marve-
lous precision and delicacy of the apparatus.
Mr.. Dudley can, if the rails are compare
lively new and are traversed by the dyna-
graph car at the moderate rate of twenty
miles an hour, tell what mill rolled the rails
and distinguish the rails of one manufac-
turer from those of another He can tell
also the number of years each rail has been
put down, and has an attachment to show
the exact amount of energy exerted by the
engine pulling the car at any point in the
iourney.-The Operator.

A Beautiful Reflection.

Bulwer eloquently says I can not be-
lieve that earth is mans abiding place.
1t cannot be that our life is cast up by the
ocean of eternity to float upon its waves
and sink into nothingness; else, why is it
that the glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the temples of our hearts,
are forever wandering about unsetisfed?
Why is it that the rainbows come over us
with beauty that is not of this earth, and
then pass off and leave us to muse upon
their favored loveliness? Why is it that
the stars which hold their festivals around
the midnight throne, are set above the
grasp of our limited faculties, forever mock
ing us with their unapproachable glory?
And finally, why is it that bright forms of
human beauty are presented to our view,
and then taken from US, leaving the thou
sand streams of our affections to flow in
Alpine torrents upon our hearts?
We are born for higher destiny than
that of earth; there is realm where the
rainbow never fades, and where stars
will spread before us like islands that slum-
Der in the ocean; where the beings that
pass before us like shadows will stay in our
presence forever.

A WINTER SCENE.
BY J. G. HOLLAND.


Winters wild birthnight in the fretful East
The uneasy wind means with its sense of cold,
And sends its sighs through gloomy mountain gorge
Along the valley. up the whitening hill,
To tease the signing spirits of the pines,
And waste in dismal woods their chilly life.
The sky is dark, and on the huddled leaves
The restless rustling leayes-sits down the sleet,
Till the sharp crystals pin them to the earth,
And they grow still beneath the rising Storm
The rooness bullock hugs the sheltering stack,
With eringing head and closely gathered feet
And waits with dumb endurance for the morn.
Deep in gusty cavern of the barn
The witless calf stands blatant at his chain;
While the brute mother, pent within her stall,
With the wild stress of instinct goes distraught,
And frets her horns and bellows through the night
The stream runs black; and the far waterfall
That sang so sweetly through the summer ewes,
And swelled and swayed to Zephyr's softest breath
Leaps with sullen roar,
And howls its hoarse responses to the wind.
The mill is STILL The distant factory,
That swarrned yestreen with many fingered life,
And bridged the river with hundred bars
of molten light, is dark, and lifts its bulk
With dim, uncertain angles to the sky
Yet lower bows the storm. The leafess trees
Lash their 1.-the limbs and with majestic voice
Call to each other through the deepening gloom;
And slender trunks that lean on burly boughs
Shrek with the sharp abrasion: and the oak,
Mellowed in fibre by unnumbered frosts,
Yields to the shoulder of the Titan blast,
Forsakes its poise, and, with blooming crash,
Sweeps a fierce passage to the srnothered rocks,
And lies a shattered ruin.
