If both parties accept them, you can divide

your support, while the majority will be in

believe you constitute majority, is is well to
take possession of the county offices, for the

litical power might as well be on the side of
the people. In counties where your following
is not strong enough to carry, study the his

you believe to be most honorable, capable
and honest. If a man has betrayed you
once, do not trust him again. Apply the
same rule to candidates for congress. What
ever you do, act together. Your enemies act
together; no jealousies disturb them in their
work of plumber. 1t will be pitiful thing if
the thieves are to be united and honest men
are to be divided. When you make your

MISSOULA AND THE BITTER
ROOT

The two handsom,st town sites that
we have ever witnessed on the northwest
coast are Missoua and Spokane Falls.
Each stands upon eravelly plateau on
the banks Of swift river and in the
midst Of beautiful scenery. Missoula
has not so much tributary country rs
Spokane, and is restricted in her trade in
one direction by big Indian reservation
aud is somewhat remote from the active
current Of omigration. Her growth is
consequently slow, but she has solid ad-
van'ages and makes no steps back ward
Passenger trains, unfortunately run
through in the night, and therefore
travellers see nothing Of her picturesque
and fertile valleys. This is scrions
misfortune, but one that cannot be
r'medied unless the SC. dule time between
St. Paul aud Portland be shortened. be-
cause the hour of departure from ST..
Paul and arriving there must be regulat
ed by the fast mail connections with
Chicago. However a good deal of
immigration finds its way into the neigh
boring valley, which bears thu wel.known
name oftbe Bitter Root, in spite of this
disadvantage, and of late, so l am in
formed hy reliable residents of this
locality, there is much excellent farming
land along the smaller streams that has
been overlooked For instance, an old
timer whom we were conversing with
asserted that there are ten rnches on
the Ra.tlesnake, which comes into the
Missoula valley near the town, where
two years ago most Of the old town peo-
pie would have said there was no chance
for agriculture. The country will supper,
a much larger population that the old
timers imagine, who have looked out for
mines and stock ranches only. The
scenery in this vicinity of which We
speak, is something that the world can
boast Of, and where game aud trout is
plentiful, and elegant timber abundant
and an excellent open range on the foot
hills Tor stock, and by little searching
irrigable bottom lands for meadows and
grain fields can b. found.

The experience of a Western

imagined of one whose vocation is
naturally 4 conservative one. The
parson who was last week imposed

morning the victim of Il domestic

on horseback recently performed
for a daring couple in Cororalo.
The bride elect arose early, as usu-
al, to prepare the morning meal,
and instead thereof quietly stole
beyond the parental roof to bargain
for a share in the fortunes of a
prosperous young Kctchumite.
The performance was no sooner
finished than the melee began.
Rocks and shellalahs filled up the
intervals of strong English and
though the parsons front defense
was partially cftctual, the flank

Thco. Hague was in from the
Quaker City Wednesday. That
mine is panning out well to the
lessees.
Three carloads of first-class ore
from Clayton were shipped through

Grant works, on the 3lst instant.
The Minnie Moore mine is going
bravely on, and showing more ore
with every additional foot of devel-
opmcnt. Once a month a balance
sheet is drawn, and 20 per cent. of
the receipts is applied to the cxtin-
guishment of outstanding debt.
This process will be continued
until the mine is entirely free.
This, the Times is informed, will

An important strike is said to
have been made in a claim situated
on the head-waters of Lost River,
and owned by the Popham Broth
ers, Joseph Pinkham and Thomas
Ross. Mr.. Ross is at work in the
mine. In running for the main
vein he cut through a spur which
showed up a wide vein of solid ore
from which during the past 80 days
they extracted 80 tons of IA ounce
ore. a pack train has been sent
out to bring in the ore, and during
the next 60 days Mr.. Ross expects
to take out over $4,000.

For Granddaughter.

The late grand jury brought in
twelve true bills of indictment. and
among these was one for man
slaughter against Dir. II. Jones.
\ bench warrant was issued for his
arrest, and he gave bonds. His
case was postponed until to-day,
when he will plead. AS these pro-
ceedings may seem mysterious to
Bellevue people, we will state that
the charge arises from the death of
Frank Mcdaniel, who received a
broken leg near Mountain Home
this spring, and after having an
attempt made at setting it there, he
came to the hospital and asked for
a re-setting some four or five weeks
after the first operation. DR.. Jones,
assisted by Frank Groome, under
took the operation by causing
new breakage of the limb, but
Mcdaniel couldn't undergo the
performance, and died.-Belleyue

The examination of n. S. Mitch
ell on charge of ra pc, preferred by
Sarah Roach on behalf of her
daughter, occupied the attention OF
Justice L. o. Wheeler Monday
Tuesday and part of Wednesday
last. The testimony was volumin-
Gus and number oies witness were
examin ed, but as the Court was
held with closed doors the curious
were disappointed. However the
doors were opened while the argu-
ment took place and a lage num-
Der were in attendance. Mr.. Batten
appeared for the defense, and Col.
Dow as Dept. District Attorney,
for the people. In the afternoon
of Wednesday Mr.. Wheeler gave
his decision and discharged the
prisoner from custody. His review
of the law and testimony was very
close and clear, and he exposed the
flimsey character of the evidence for
the prosecution in a way that would
have done credit to a Judge of a
higher Court. The charge made
against Mitchell is n serious one,
and while easy to bring is hard for
a man to dispose of. Mitchell has
always borne a good character UNI
til this time and his many friends
were glad to see him discharged.
He was one of the best snow shovel
ers last winter when the snow slides
required good men to go out to the
rescue of those caught and killed,
and many remembered him kindly
for this.
Mr. Batten's argument in the
case showed him to be a
lawyer gilmore than ordinary abili-
ty. Col. Dow also made strong
opposition, but we were unable to
hear ii.

Probable SuiciJe.

Henry Babb, one of the jurymen
in attendance on court in HALEY,
says that just as be was leaving
Bellevue this morning it was as
certained that an oldish man,
named Hannah, a stage driver in
former days and lately of Salt Lake,
was found dead in his bed at the
international Hotel, in Bellevue.
He was found lying fiat upon his
back, his arms stretched out. and
at the tips of his left-hand fingers
lay an English bulldog pistol with
one chamber empty. He was shot
through in the region of the heart.
The lady of the house, Mrs. Collins,
says that during the night, about
/ 30, she heard the report of pis-
toll shot, but thought it was fired
up the street. The deceased was
heard to remark last evening that
he was broke and out of employ
ment, hence it may be suicide.
At this hour an autopsy is being
held in DIR. Jones office, with Drs.
Mckay and Brown, of HALEY, in
attendance with DIR. Jones.-Inter-

The KEYSTONE has not failed to
bring this important question be-
fore the people in a timely manner.
No action has been taken by the
citizens, however, and unless some
thing is done at once it will be use
less to try to celebrate at home at
all. Call your town meetings and
make a start. Begin as both Hal
ley and Bellevue have done, and be
as independent as either. Do some
thing. Give the KEYSTONE some
thing to blow about and it will
blow" with all its might and
main " to get up a celebration. The
movement must be inaugurated by
a call of citizens. We have now
repeatedly suggested and urged
this fact, but so far without avail.
BY all means let us stay at home
and get up some excite ment to
keep our loose shckels in town, if
its nothing more than a creased
pig and toot of Bakers fog horn.

All sorts of absurd stories have
been told of the doings of the Aso-
tin crowd who went out on a hang
ing expedition the other day. There
were too many blow-hards in the
gang to do effective work and all
the killing they done was with
their mouths. One of their reputcd
victims passed through town the
other day, with two navy pistols,
and blood in his eve, and an
n0unced his intention of going
over to Asotin and cleaning out
that 1ahoo crowd ut the drop of
the hat. Frank Chambers, also
reported hung by the same gang,
showed up on our streets last week,
the livellest corpse we have seen in
twenty years. The first principle
of a vigilance committee is silence.
and unless the boys learn to keep
their mouths shut there will be
some first-class funerals among
them pretty soon. 1t is getting to
be dangerous work to call a man
horsethief in these parts without
strong evidence.-Nez Perez News.
