Magnificent Meteor.

About seven o'clock on Tuesday evening
a magnificent meteor seemed to rise up
from the south western horizon and then
move slowly across the heavens and finally
burst. The time occupied by its course
was fully one minute. The ball of fire was
followed by a flaming tail that TO the OBJ
servers seemed to be at least fifteen feet

There was a noted decrease in the Pro-

A delegation Of the w. c. T. II. Of
Woodstown visited the polls in the North
District on Tuesday afternoon, and dis
tributed Prohibition ballots and temper
ance literature to the voters.
A purse of $50 was subscribed by both
parties for the privilege Of securing the re-
turns on Tuesday evening, and the de-
spatches were delivered at the Republican
and Democratic headquarters as fast as
received.
It was humiliating sight on Tuesday
morning to see the score or more Of Sharp
towners come over to vote, and permit
themselves to be led and driven to the
polls like drove ofsheep IF such people
have no respect for themselves, they owe
it to their town to show some respect for
their neighbors. There are many good and
reputable people in that village, and this
crowd showed bad taste in dissracing them
in such manner.

Home First.

How is it that SO many people will buy
goods Of any description from strangers
rather than neighbors? Let a man who is
known in a community take an agency for
plow or a steam engine; let merchant
well established, introduce something new
and really worth something, and somehow
many people imagine that if they purchase
from home acquantances they are pur-
chasing at a disadvantage. They seem to
think that dealers away off are the most
disinterested persons on the face of the
earth, and the result is that with their over
confidence in such people they are often
duped in their dealings. Stop at home
and as far as possible buy of men whose
interests are your interests, and who have
regulations at stake right whore they live.
None Of these foreign mercantile ''gush-
crsN VIII give YOU anything for nothing,
and as to the rfepressible loquacious agent
from afar, shun him.

A short time ago while S. Stratton Mitch

he was run into by team, one of the

not feel any bad effects from it until Mon

stricken with paralysis and was removed

The Spokane Chronicle In specializing
as to the route to be followed by the
Manitoba in building west from Mon

It is asked, How will he get there? by
the most direct limo possible. There is
much Of the characteristic Of the mole in
Mr.. HIPS composition. He would
rather so under than over the earth's
surface whenever it presents any bar
rier. His plan is to secure the shortest
line and the easiest grades possible to
the Pacific. He will tunnel where
others would switch back. He builds
for the future, for posterity, not for the
time being. Our theory is that he will
build his main tran~scontinental line from
Great Falls up the Marias and across
the Flathead country into and through
this territory to Seattle. His Objects to
secure a heavy freight haul at interme-
diate points to pay dividends. To this
end he will build branches to supply
the main artery of his system. And 1t
is a question whether he will tap Spokane
with the main limo or with a branch,
but certain it is that he will not give it
the go by, 1t is q part Of our theory
that lie will build his main line midway
between the Northern Pacific and the
Canadian Pacific, and connect with the

built to Spokane and into Idaho through
the Walla Walla and Polusa country,
