How is It2

The Great Falls TRIBUNE scores the
Hmajority'' of the board of commissioners
in good style for their late ridiculous
proceedings. This is all right, bat the
TRIBUNE is putting it toe strong when it
says Choteau county is in a bankrupt con
dition. Such is by M means the case.
The floating debt will be largely reduced
the current year, and with assessable
property reaching almost $4,000 900 and
the county growing rapidly in wealth, a
bonded Indebtedness of about 100000 is
no very great burden. This can be wip-
ed out in a short time.-Press.
We may be in error regarding the fl
nancial status OF the county treasurer.
Perhaps we are. But if such is the case,
why is it that county warrants are sub
ject to such an outrageous discount? In
view of the Press editors feelings on
this matter, we will say that no reflections
are intended The question being asked
simply for information.

Occur d'Alene Sun: There is no
doubt, If the matter was left to a vote
of the people of Shoshone county,
they would favor annexation to Mon

advocating such a measure have ever

the contrary, the newspapers of that
territory have done all in their pow
er to estrange the people of the Ceur
d'Alene, and when We question very
seriously if Montana would take us If
We were to ask.

Hunters report a herd Of elk near the
head of Deep creek, about twenty-five
miles from Choteau. This confirms ths
belief entertained by many residents of
this place that the present scarcity OF
game is due to the unusually fine weather
that preceded the storm, causing the game
to remain in or close to the mountains.
Within the past two months a number of
of half-breeds have brought in and offer
ed for sale some fine bear skins, the ami
mails having been killed in the mount
aims. Those DESTROYS of fine sport and
big game should make a trip to the main
range next summer.-Calumet.

John Smith, manager of Dan Flow

TRIBUNE's suggestions regarding the en-
closing of the numerous alkali springs
and sink holes on the ranges in this part
of the territory, are worthy of considera-
ton, and that the cattle association could
not sxpend the amount of money it would
require more protitably. He says that
cattle to the value of thousands of dollars
annually are lost in these places.

Now, that a railroad between Helena
and Great Falls is, apparently, an assur-
ed fact, the route to be selected is bound
to interest the people residing intermedi-
ate. The Missouri river route has previ-
ously been surveyed by Col. Dodge. chief
of the corps, now running this survey,
snd reported favorably- upon by him.
Another route, through the Sun river val
lev, is said to be feasible, but has never
been surveyed. The latter route, would
unq~uestionably tap u much larger and
more productive country than the former,
but would be considerably longer. Then
again, other matters not at present adyisa-
BILE to mention, will have a strong bearing
toward the Missouri river route. ] heard
the opinion expressed by one who has d
right to. know, that people are ofttimes
foolish enough to cut off their nose to
spite their face. Herein lieth a moral.

HOW 10 Ten When q Person Is Dead,

Medical and Surgical RspOrtr.
While we are decidedly in favor Of ore:
nation, we do not admit that the fear OF
beinp buried alive should be q reason to
cause us to reject burial and adopt Crena'
ton, There are two simple tests by which
We Caus always convince ourselves whether
a person Ia really dead or not. One test
Ia the same that has been crowned with q
prigs by the French Government, which
had for years offered o large reward Tor
the discovery Of any method, always ap.
plicable, always reliable, and one that
may be prsctiCed by the most Ignorant.
The method Of determining actual death,
which was considered by the French
Goysrnment as being worthy Of
the reward Is the iolloTing' When the
fingers OF person who Is supposed to be
dead are fully extended, but kept near 70
pether, and II placed In front Of 9 candle
Iipht in a dark room a peculiar bright red
color, due 10 the capillary circulation, will
be yisible where the lngeEa touch each
other, II there Is any lils left. This test
has thus lar proved the most reliable
The other Is based upon the well known
fact that The muscles OF q human being

An obseryant and thoughtful woman
connected with vaFlar College Is thus
quoted on a matter OF great moment to the
family and society:
Do YOU know one cause OF the many
divorces nowadays among Americans2 1t

How often you find wives complaining
that their husbands arc taken up with
their books, and have not a word Tor them.
This Ia because tho wives don't care for
what tho books contain; they have no

their husbands find nothing to say 10

UncIc Hen Wilson'S Election Manifesto.
Our Uncle Ben Wilson snatChes a pass
ing moment from hiH duties in the De-
paItment Of Justice to say through the
Rghhr
That his name has been frequently
mentioned in the newspapers as a prob
able candidate for Congress;
That many of his friends have invited
him by letter TO make the race;
That ho is not o candidate aud does not
dealre to compete for the nomination,
slut / will DO content with the nomins'
ton Of any other gentleman;
That what he most desires is the cleo
ton Of a Democrat in tho First District, In
which there ia "a reliable hut small Demo.
cratic majority;
That the coming campaign will BIO hotly
contested and ilercely fought
That 10 make sure OF holding tho State
1t 10 necessary to regain the First District;
That II the Republicans capture tho
State direlul things will happen.
That he thinks, perhaps" ho can best
servelhe Government by remaining where
he lie, though the "%sslary is inadequate to
tho responsibility"
Judge John Brunnon, Mr.. Frame, Mr..
Pcndleton and 60 many other gentlemen
OF their party rs may have longings will
DO unable to extract any comfort from
Uncle Ben's timely declaration Of princi-
pies. The one little word 'but," which
We have taken the liberty to adorn with
the forcelul splendor Of italics, Is an clio.
quent appeal which may not fall OIL deaf
ears. Then there 10 tho quietly suggested
thought that since Uncle Bon stopped do.
ing tho running for the Democracy in the
FirBt District the Democracy has stopped
carrying the First District.
Uncle Ben is not quite sure that 1t will
DO better for him to remain where he is,
where the salary Is only about half that Of
Congressman, "bm I will BIO content with
tho nomination Of any other gentleman"
II Uncle Ben had said these things o
