The Earth.

The Earth is one of the largest institu
tions in this section, and Is really the
foundation Of all mans operations.
The Earth is composed OF three parts
water and one part land, and the sacred
writer informs us that it will be we'll
shaken before it is finally taken.
The Earth is round. The inhabitants
are also round when there is any fun
going on, or free lunch is advertised.
The Earth is dyspeptic, being con-
tinually troubled with heartburn. She
often gets bilious, and throws the trou-
blesome bile off her stomach, from her
big black mouth, which is called vesu-
vius.
Some men want the Earth, and are
only waiting for it to get cool enough
to handle with safety, or harvest nit
tens.
"The Earth is the Lords and the full
ness thereof" but many Of His man-ser-
wants are trying hard to get controlling
interest in the stock.
The Earth swings on its own axis.
Most of its inhabitants swing somebody
else's axes, which they forget to return
or pay for.
The Earth's axis sticks out thirty y-five
or forty feet at each end, and these
points are called the poles. The top is
the North Pole, and the bottom one is
I the South Pole.
4 Around these poles has been deposited
immense piles Of ice, for the double pur-
pose of preventing hot journals, from
continual friction caused by the rapidly
revolving sphere, and also of preventing
inquisitive visitors from monkeying with
the machinery, and either pinching their
meddlesome fingers, or whiting chunks
from the poles for souvenirs.
These mammoth ice-houses serve an
other purpose, having become conven-
lent, sure, and popular mode Of sui
eide.
When man gets tired of life, and is
gun shy and afraid of poison, he adver-
tises an Arctic expedition, which soon
brings to his door a score or more OF
kindred souls, who also want to die.
They rig up ship and away they 60.
The suicidal expedition is, as rule,
eminently successful. After reaching
the ice-house, they eat oil their corned
beef and cabbage, salt pork and Sara
toga chips; drink up the contents Of the
medicine case-half pint bottles mostly
then eke out q living death of few
short, sunless weeks or months, trying
to get fat on icicle, rubber boots. and
fur overcoats, when the living death il
swallowed up by q dead death. Their
thes.partv, one after another hides where
there will be the least probability O
ever finding him, and draws his last
short, 10y breath by the sllimmerine
light of the aurora borealis.
The next season q searching party o
would-be suicides goes after them, ani
either dies in their tracks or returns
manned for life, or frozen so that they
never get tllawed out, and thus the goot
work goes on. The Earth has frequen
attacks of ague, and when its shaking
fits come on, it is a most shocking sight
, though the inhabitants always have
. "rattling" time.
The Earth wears belt around he
J. waist, called the Equator. It is s
/, tight that the parts over which it rasse
are infiamed to about 200 degrees Fah.

Misuse vi ssUn y.O


It is probable that more errors are
made in the use Of the word "only'
than in using any ether word in the
English language. While its misuse is
not SO glaring as many other grammat-
ical errors, yet it greatly mars and re-
duces the accuracy of a sentence. I'm
like the more glaring mistakes which
are confined chiefly to the speech
and writing OF the nnlearned, its mis-
use prevails to singular extent in the
writing of the accomplished men and
women. and is observed frequently in
newspapers and even higher literature
This results from carelessness more
than anything else, and probably from
the fact that the correct use of the
word is not so easily understood.
The proper place of "onlv" in sem
tencc is readily ascertained by accu-
rately determining the word to which
| it has special reference. A few ex-
amples will, perhaps, more clearly ex.
plain it's misuse. l have heard good
orators say, II will only refer to this
branch Of the subject" A little
thought will make it evident that the
speaker did not mean to confine him
self to referring, but to the branch OF
the subject: therefore he should have
said, II will refer only to this branch
of the subject" Had he meant it to
limit refer" he would have emphasized
it in order to make himself understood.
To say, II only see an orange" might
mean that the speaker does not feel,
taste or smell an orange; but II see
| only an orange" means tlut he sees nc
other fruit. It might be clearer, per
haps, to say, Il see IN orange only, " OF
!. II see an orange alone" but it is mo-
we'll to conclude sentence with the
adverb or adjective, as the case may be
It liz common to hear, 81 only saw him,
II only have four" .hc only went to
Philadelphia and countless simila'
errors.
The word "too" is misacl in precise

! "Also," being used interchangeable

CHOTEAU .sT.ANDS FIRM.

Brave old Choteau stands like stone
wall in defence Of Clark and her demo.
cratic county ticket. A careful cores
pondent writes to the Independent "The
last week of the campaign finds the
democracy of Choteau county fully pre-
pared for the contest, and there is every
indication that the result will show an
old time democratic "clean sweep" A
careful canvass of the entire county,
from Belleview to Exeter, is now being
made, and there seems but little doubt
that Choteau county will poll fully as
large vote as two years ago, with demo-
cratic ballots predominating in about the
same proportion. Whatever minor diff
ferences may exist as to one or two coun-
ty officers, the head of the ticket will
meet with the hearty and undivided sup.
port OF the democratic party-which
means about 10 per cent Of the total coun-
ty vote. This will average up to Choteau
county's record IN the past, when matters
OF local interest were somewhat depend
ent upon the result, and will doubtless be
accepted as her just contribution towards
the grand democratic majority that will
be rolled up by the balance of the terri
tory" .. ~. .s..u. s....
This is what we expected to hear from
Choteau, the Gibralter of the Montana
democracy. But Choteau must elect all
her county democratic ticket. There
should be no scratching.

GENERAL TIMER.

The brief but excellent review of the
position and recources which General
Tyner gives in the interview we print to-
day will be read with interest by the peo-
pie Of this city and Montana. General
Tyner came west from the great state of
Indiana. He brought with him a noble
war record which included gallant SER
vice at Shiloh and other battle fields. He
settled in Dakota wherein he became pro-
minent in public affairs, and subsequently
represented the Pioneer Press in that
territory whose resources he has made
known throughout the union. He now
represents the Portland Oregonian, a
paper of high literary merit and enter
prise. From these details it may be seen
that General Tyner is well qualified to
speak from experience and with authority
regarding the bright prospects of Great
Falls. .|

HINTS TO VOTERS.

The democracy of Cascade county is full
Of ardor and enthusiasm. The party is
in good fighting trim and all good demo.
Gratis will march to the polls shoulder tc
shoulder on Tuesday, there must be
no display of over-confidence. No one
should say: "They will have enough
without my vote. "No one must be deter
red by snow or storm from going to the
polls. Make out also list of your
neighbors and learn how they feel in re-
gard to voting. If any of them are over
confident or lazy, stir them up. If you
can call for them on your way to the
polls, so much the better. While you
thus look after our democratic friends
keep sharp lookout for tramps who
have no right to vote at ALL If any dem
ocrat is challenged, stand by him if he is
entitled to vote. The election laws are
plain, and should not be allowed to de-
bar any man who complies with them in
the letter and spirit. Above all, keep
cool. 1t is the beaten party that gets mad
and causes disturbance. Be sure to vote
early yourself, so as to be free to work
for the rest Of the day at the polls. Ex-
anime your tickets carefully. See that
they correspond with the list that will be
published regularly in this journal until
election day. Let the judges see that
you are vigilant Offend no man; but
make it certain that you demand fair
play and will see it enforced. Let the
watchword be Clark and victory.

The good news which Colonel Broad
water gives in the interview which we
print today will be read with satisfaction
throughout Montana. The approach OF
winter renders it especially gratifying
that Sand Coulee shall yield her mineral
treasurers for the benefit of manufacture
ers and householders. Cheap coal and
plenty of it is what people want. Devlin
and Broadwater will mine and transport
it in abundance. Their promise to do so
will be accepted as final.
