NaryA. Myers came down from Helena
last Tuesday, and swore out warrant
against her son W. B. Myers, who las IN
til recently been i'll the meat business
here. The charge stated IN the afhdaV1'
of the complaining witness was adultery
with one Bell Shields, who little while
AGO figured quite conspicuously Ill the
Helena courts under the name OF bell
Williams. Mrs. Myers is a very fine ap-
pearing lady and seems broken hearted
over the irregularities Of her unworthy
son The scene in the justice court Pc
4ween mother and son was affecting. The
lady said that Nj. Myers wife was as
rood. true and faithful spouse as ever
man had and that even now the injured
wife was willing to receive back her err
inc husband, if he would return to his
home and promise to be true to his mar
riage VOWS.
Mrs. Myers upbraided her delinquent
son for leaving his good wife and aged
mother to shift for themselves while he
basqued in the smiles Of 9 strange woman
and lavished his money upon her. 1t IS
not within our province to discuss the
merits of the case, but simply give the
facts as they publicly appear IN court.
Like all mothers, however, Mrs Myers
maternal affection got away with her IN
dignation and she dismissed the action
and MI. Sweeney, the deputy sheriff, who
had arrested Myers, was instructed to
let him go. Myers may or may rot be
guilty. If he is, his case would make
pretty good material for the grand jury
to work on.

Montana Central Wins.

HELENA, Mont, Aug. 2-'fhis morning
Judge Wade rendered his decision upon
the suit for injunction brought by the
Montana Central Railway Co. vs.. The
Helena Il Red Mountain r. K. Co., IN
favor of the plaintiff.
In the course Of his decision the Judge
said Eminent domain is the right OF the
people or government to take private
property for public use. Before such
property may be so taken, it must appear
that the use to which it is applied IS au-
thorized by law, and that the taking is
necessary to such use. Public property,
that is property once taken for public
use. NAV also be taken for another pubic
use but before it can be taken, it must APP
pear that the use to which it is to be ap-
piled is a more Necessary public use.
All property is subject to this sovereign
prerogative right, which can only be eSer-
cised by the supreme power of the people,
acting through the legislature, Or by indi-
yiduals OF corporations to whom authority
has been delegated by law. Statutes 60
delegating this authority, being in deroga-
ton of common right, must be strictly
construed.
Primarily the Legislature, subject TO re-
view by the courts, is the judge Of the ne
cessity for taking private property for
public purposes, Of it may, directly Or
by necessary implication delegate such
authority to corporations or individuals.
If the incorporation acts is silent on this
subject, such necessity must be made to

We were In the old Grange garden
Where fierce dragons stood for wardeh
Meath the rose trees rcd with bloomeI
And the golden sunshine brightly
Drifted through the branches lightly,
Making gay the odorous gloomss
On the lawn a sun-dial olden
Caught the slanting sunbeams golden,
Which, with sweet and softening grace,
With warm touches brightly tendef,
Threw their strange alchemic splendor
Ger the emoss-greened, time-worn face.

Love will die at fall OF night.

When around us fell the night,
You passed on, dear, careless-hearted.

Yet love in loves despite.
When the futures veil was lifted,

Down lifes river, far apart;
Yet your face, with sweet persistence,
Shines across the dreary distance,
And lies folded in my heartl

What Is to BE Done with the Negrol

The negro is no longer a problem.
He is part of the body polite of the
Republic. He is firmly rooted and can
not be moved. He is here to stay, and
any attempt to disturb him or to excite
his fears as to his right to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness is nothing
less than a crime. A question touch
ing the negro, like any other, must be
considered from this common sense
standpoint, and every suggestion for
its solution must be subjected to the
probing and searching "What good ?"
Pre- ,udice must not be allowed voice
in its solution, and passion must be ex-
cluded from counsel. The negro will
not consent to his own deportation.
The Southern planters, too, would not,
if they could. consent to it, nor to any
agitation of it, because it unsettles and
unhinges the labor that is more profit
able free than il ever was or could be
in the days of slavery. The negro is
more intelligent now than then, and
therefore more valuable because a bet
| ter, closer and more skillful worker.
Deportation is not, for these reasons, to
be considered. Wemust, therefore, deal
with the negro and treat OF him with
the full understanding that we cannot
get rid of him. His commercial value,
supplementing his rights under the
Federal and State constitutions, says
we cannot.
What, then, is to be done with the
negroP Nothing but increase the
number of schools and schoolmasters,
make education compulsory, and make
the technical education easily available
to him in all parts of the South. The
negro must be taught the virtue of self
reliance, and the value of the courts as
his safeguard and defense under the
| Constitution and laws of the nation
and of the States. Agitation exalts the
negro to q degree of imaginary impor-
tance that people at the North cannot
understand. He is a sensible man
within his limits of mind and compre'
hension, so long as he feels that he is
not the center of pet anxiety. Agita'
ton has retarded and interfered with his
growth in the past; it has proved ex
ceedingly mischievous, and is not to bt
thought of in the future. 1t breeds
dissatisfaction, raises hopes that car
never be fulfilled, and tends to wider
the breach between the races.-PoptL

CHAPTER ii.

For week or two Estelle went about in
frame of mind which is apt TO upset the
calmest natures, and which, in girl of her
excitable temperament, took the shape of
extreme fitful alterations between turbu-
lent gayety and fearful depression. She
would have worked herself into fever had
it not been for the sincere good sense and
unobtrusive sympathy of quiet Mary Cot
terrell, who understood her visitor well.
Then one day she darted into the house,
dragged Mary to her room, and there burst
out crying and laughing wildly. II am so
happy!-so happy!-oh, Mary, can't you
guessw
"What a child you are, Estelle! OF course
can guess, and I'm as glad as ever l can
be, dearie. Tell me all about it,"
II was in the garden, and he came up the
path-oh, / can't go on now-Tm just over
whelmed-fraptic-my hearts beating oil
over mel"
"That dreadful red-haired manp" said
Mary, mischievously.
"How dare you call him dreadful Yes,
yes, / know that's what 1 said, but then
began to like him just tiny little, and then
il went on crescendo-crescendo-
| foTtissimol"
She waved her hands as il conducting an
orchestra, and ended OH tiptoe, tossing them
high above her head.
$50, after all, you have found man you
can trust" said Mary, half -jokingly, and
not at all prepared for the sudden cloud
that settled on Estelle's face. She did moi
answer at once, and then her tone had
changed.
"Mary, you told me he was devoted tc
Eva Charlesworth."
"Oh, did II" said Mary, much embar.
rassed. "Well, used to think so, but
clearly was mistaken"
mo, you we're not. He told me about Il
himself. He says long time ago he asked
her TO marry him, but she wouldn't. She
