long as she could see it, then her beloved was
alive; but if it went out, then that he was
dead. The lamp burned and fiuttered, and
her heart burned and duttered also. She

FACTS ABOUT BELLS.

The nature of the country has much to
do with the sound of bells. In billy
locality bell will not be heard half SO
far as if the land were level or nearly SO.
A bell will be heard great deal farther
lengthwise of valley than over the hills
at the sides. Where bedrooms are lower
than the surrounding buildings and trees,
these distractions break the sound and
prevent the free passage for a distance.

ings, with the lower boards close together,
noise of steam and horse cars, manufac-
turing establishments, carriages and carts
rafting over the pavement, is so great
that bells are not expected to be heard at
any considerable distance, and this is the
reason why in all cities several bells are
used for fire-alarm purposes, it being i'm
possible for one bell-no matter how
great it may be-to be heard above the
thousand and one noises incident to every
large place.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that
bells can be heard in proportion to their
weight; that is, that bell of two thou
sand pounds will be heard twice as far as
one of one thousand pounds. This is not
SO, for the reason that the larger bell
does not possess any thing like the re-
sonant surface of the smaller one. What
is gained and admired in the larger bell
is the deep, majestic, and dignified tone
which it is impossible to secure in the
smaller one, the weight of bell invariably
governing its tone. A bell Of one hun

ONLY ONE KILLED.

Old Nurse Edwards sat on the tiny
porch of the gardeners lodge, TRANQUILITY
knitting, with her spectacles, as usual,
pushed high mp under her cap. She had
been told that it was a rest to remove
them from the eyes occasionally, though
whether the relief we're to the eyes or to
the glasses she could not exactly remem-
Der; in either case, however, she felt it
her manifest duty to spare them all she
could.
1t was a glorious summer afternoon,
and from her wicker chair she looked out
over wide expanse of velvet lawn, lux
uriously shaded here and there With
clumps of venerable trees, in whose
branches the birds were holding high
carnival. But Nurse Edwards did not
hear the birds; for there was cricket
just under the ledge of the veranda,
who had quite as much to say as they,
and who had no one but her to say it to;
for her sunlight, when beam had come
purposely to seek her out, and was lying
across her lap, like long needle, trem-
ulously waiting to be taken up and fitted
to some wonderful golden work. 1t is
only discontinued people who must search
atar for their pleasures. Nurse Edwards
found all that she required close to her
feet.
Presently she put down her knitting,
and sat stifliy upright, with look of rec
ognition on her placid face, that took
the place of smile, and seemed to
express almost more of pleasure. She
had caught the sound OF coming foot
steps-hght, dancing, happy steps, that
co1ld only belong to child, or to one
who had not yet unlearned childish glad
ness; and truly enough, the slender fig
ure of girl, still in her teens, soon ap-
peared around the corner, and in a mo-
ment more had bounded breathlessly to
her side.

woman, fondly taking the young girls

ATTENTION, DEMOCRATS !

The attention of those Democrats who
such so lost to shame as to vote for him
is respectfully directed to the following ex.
cerpt from the speech of the Hon. Samuel
Word, delivered at Bozeman the oath
inst:
But let us consider ourselves from the
standpoint Of our Republican friends. Now,
l don'tlike anybody who talks rashly about
ocrat ever since l was a boy, and have
great affection and esteem for the party
it's a grand old stand-by-but did you ever
hear anything meaner than Sanders car
say about itP If you know any man tina
can say anything meaner than Sanders
said of me and the Democratic party I'd
like to hear him try it. Tt is absolutely
true that he calls the members of the Dem
ocratic party grovelling maegots and
Gkens u Democratic President to a
thick.necked brute, and yet you will see
him walk up with the most unblushing ef-
~frontery and ask us to take our dose of
crow. (Lauehter and %applauae.) But 1
tell you, ladies and gentlemen, we won't do
it. There may be a few of his own party
that will do it, but there is a large number
OF Republicans that will not. But it is OF
his past record and platform that 1 will
talk this evening. Col. Sanders is a candi-
date for Congress, and [ actually believe he
wants to 60. 1t is not the first time he has
wanted to go. either. He will never get
there. A few of his clamorous friends have
elected him with their mouths. but he will
never go to Congress from this Territory.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

ANTHONY H. BARRET.

Mr.. Barrett is the Democratic candidate
for Treasurer of Silver Bow county, having
received the nomination in the convention
by a~cclamation, a compliment seldom
bestowed upon any candidate. He was
born in Grayson county, Kentucky, Janu-
airy 25, 1884, and resided there until he was
II years OF age when he went to Texas,
where he lived until 1858. In that year he
went to Missouri to wind up the estate OF
his father, who died the year before, and
remained in St. Louis until January, 1865,
when he came to Virginia City, in this Ter
ritory. Being Industrious and energetic
and seeing no opening at the moment to
engage in business, and scorning to remain
idle, Mr.. Barrett shouldered an axe and
went to chopping wood, but soon after
wards went to work on a placer claim. The
next y~ear-1S66-he was appointed by
Governor Meagher as his private secretary
and held that position until the death of
the Governor. During this time he was
also Assistant Territorial Auditor. In
February, 1857, he was appointed special
agent to take charge of the Jackson In
dian agency, but was engaged in discharg-
ing the duties OF that position but a couple
of months when he was appointed special
agent with Secretary Tufts to settle up the
business affairs of Governor Meagher with
the government.

Egg.ThrOwing Frustrated.

Last evening a large bonfire was lit in
front of Renshaw Hall, it having been set
up in honor OF the Republican meeting
which was being held there. Several prom
inent Republicans hired four small boys to
gather barrels, boxes or anything combus-
tible, to keep the fire burning for them in
front of the hall, promisingto pay them SO
cents each for such services. The little iel-
lows kept nobly to their task, and when
the meeting was about W they looked
for their money, but alas! the parties who
had hired them did not put in an appear
ance. and being refused payment by some
of the Republican Committee, the little
lads started out to get some rotten eggs
with which to throw in the windows Of the
hall, but luckily no one would give them
any. This is the second time payment ha
been refused to the young lads, and car
should be taken that when they are again
hired to build bonfires they should be paid
what ia promised them.

THE Law OF REsPoNs1BILITY.

The rnie orlaw Of responsibility 10 thus
defined by the Inter Mountain: Hon. w.
w. Dixon drew up q bill providing that
Chinamen shah not hold placer mining
ground; the Legislative Assembly OF Mon
tana OF 1871.72 passed that bill; 1t was
signed by the Governor aud became a law:
Hon. Samuel Word was counsel for q
Chinaman in q suit in which the constitu.
tionabity OF the act was questioned. It
was decided unconstitutional and after
wards a bill was passed repeating 1t which
bill was signed by a Republican Governor,
hence Toole who is supported by Mr.. Word
is responsible:
First, for.Mr. Dixon's act in drawing up
the bill.
Second. for it's passage by the Legislative
Assembly OF 1s71-72.
Third, for the suit in which MI. Word
was engaged.
Fourth, for the repeal of the act by a
subsequent Legislative Assembly.
Deductions: By this showing MI. Toole
is first, in favor OF prohibiting Cinnamon
from holding placer mining grounds.
Second, Nj. Toole is opposed to prohib-
iting Cinnamon from holding placer mining
grounds.
Third, taking the abovetwo propositions
together Mr.. Toole is in favor Of Chinese
cheap labor.
Fourth. As Mr.. Sanders opposed Mr..
Toole. MI. Sanders is opposed to Chinese
cheap labor, or, to state it in the calcium
lighted language of the Inter Mountain, it
should be put thus: "Under these circum-
stances it is fair to say that Toole, not
Sanders, is the defender of Chinese cheap
labor"
The same rule or law OF responsibility is
applied by the INTERIM untain to Mr.Toole's
position on the silver and timber and
other questions in which he differs with
some of the assistants or clerks in the en-
ploy of the government. 1t is telling logic,

cool place and shake before using.

SAMPLE H. ORR.

Samrls H. Orr was born in Lawrenc,
Comfy. Tennessee. in 1850, his father
Hon. S ample Orr, having been born in tn,
same State in 1918. His forefathers wer,
Irish immigrants of the respectable middle
classes. Being raised on a farm, his father
did not enter into politics until the merid
ian of life. He removed to Missouri in
1852, and having adopted the law as his
profession. became prominent in legal and
political circles both in Missouri and Mon
tana. He now resides in Alturas County,
Idaho, and is engaged in wool growing.
Sample H. Orr, the subject OF this sketch,
attended school at Jefferson City, mis-.
souri,, up to the time that the family immi.
grated to Montana, in 1865, by the slow
and tortuous route of the upper Missouri
river. He landed at Cow Island in the lat
ter part OF July, and from there started
to Diamond City, a gold camp
of then world renowned richness. At an
early age, not being able to follow the avo-
cation OF the miner, he engaged with his
father in opening a ranch in the Missouri
Valley near the mouth of the Justly famed
Confederate Gulch. He followed farming
with varied success for a few years. He
soon found, with Others, that the business
OF stock growing would be more profitable.
He engaged in that with his father and
brothers, and by u~ntiring industry and
good management they soon had a herd of
considerable value. His father being

progressive brother being somewhat

OF the wonderful climate and productive
soil of California, they determined to sell.
which they did to the Northwestern Cattle
Company. Hia cattle business being
closed out, and being of a literary turn of
mind, and urgently advised by his friends
he determined to engage in the newspaper
business and worked for a time on the
Avant Courier in Bozeman with perfect
satisfaction to his employers. He was a
typo for a time and was afterward CORE
spondent and travelling agent for the
paper. Some years later by the advice of
his father he commenced the study of law
in tho office Of w. Y. Pemberton, in this
and was admitted to the bar in 1884.
He commenced the practice Of law, opening
an Office in this city.
Mr.. Orr is a Democrat in every sense of
the word and being recognized as such he
received the nomination for the legislative
assembly at the hands of the late DEMO-
cratic County Convention. Mr.. Orr is a
sound reasoner, a logical and entertaining
speak r and a good debater. He will make
an excellent representative for Silver Bow
county.

CHARLES h. CARVER.

Mr.. Carver, who is the Democratic can
didate for the Council, was born in Ohio in
1912. When he was but one year of age
his parents moved to Illinois where be
lived until he was IA years of age when
they went to Missouri. In 1860 when Mr..
Carver attained his majority and like
many young men who are ambitious to carve
out their own ~fortuae,' he bid adieu to all
the ties that bound MIN to his home and
struck out for the far west. In the spring
Of that year he reached Colorado where he
mined and farmed for two years. But hear
ing Of the promised land"in Montana, he
concluded to 60 still further toward the
started for this Territory.
After spending q part Of the winter in
Salt Lake, he braved the mountain storms
and reached Bannaek in February 1862.
After mining there during the summer he
went over to Virginia City, then the prin-
cipal place in the Territory. in August
1868. where he mined until the spring of
1864. Being full OF energy, enterprise and
adventure, he left the great placers on Alder
Gulch in search of new fields. He arrived
on Silver Bow Creek below this city, where he
prospected for awhile and then struck out
for Kootenai mines in British Columbia.
There fortune favored him, and in October
of the same year he went to Oregon, where
he purchased a band of cattle, which he
drove up to the mines in the summer of
1866. Disposing of them to good advant-
age, he again came to where Butte now
stands, and, believing the place had a
bright future in store, he left in the fall of
1865 for California, where he purchased a
stock of goods, which he brought to point
just below the city, and opened out the
first store in the place.
Mr.. Carver has lived in this county ever
since, merchandising, farming and mining.
At present he is engaged in farming and is
largely interested in placer and quartz
mining, all OF which he is successfully pur-
suing. Mr.. Carver is an old-timer, thor
oughly identified with the interests of the
county, deeply concerned in it's advance
ment and prosperity, and fully alive to it's
wants and requirements. Being an earnest,
active, enterprising gentleman, Mr.. Carver
is always found foremost in every project
tending to promote the prosperity of his
neighborhood. He is a thoroughly West
ern man, with the vim and pluck which
characterizes them, and being possessed of
rare sound sense and a social nature and
open-hearted and generous to a fault, he is
beloved by his neighbors and respected by
all who know him. Mr.. Carver will be
elected.
