cratic territory, and it is probably only by
means Of occupying that position that we
have any chance Of being recognized and
admitted into the union. Applause.
Dakota has the requisite population and
all the elements of statehood, and should
be admitted into the union; and Montana,
her great sister, lying by her side, though
not with the same amount of population,
has just as much wealth and is quite as
much entitled to take II position along
side of her in this union. Let the demo-
cratic party be defeated and we stand no
chance of getting into the union for years
to come. read between the lines that
the people Of this territory understand
this position, and desiring a place in the
union of the states, they are coming up
with heart and they say, 1--WE will carrT
Montana Democratic and by the grace
of God we ale going to do it. Applause.l
. There is a manly ring in these words
which show that while attending to his
extensive business Mr.. Clark has also
been patriotic, observant citizen, who
has the greatness and glory Of Montana
at heart. Long may he wave! om

EDWARD G. GARRETT.

The next member of the house for Cho-
teau and Cascade will have important
business to attend to. Both these counties
are growing rapidly and are feeling in
many respects the need Of new legisla-
ton. Besides, the people naturally de-
sire that our representative shall upheld
the reputation of north Montana by tax
ing an active, intelligent part in matters
that concern all Montana. He will be eX-
pected to aid by |word and vote good bills
and to oppose actively such schemes to
leplete the treasury, as the bounty law,
except where very destructive animals,
such as wolves, are concerned. ..
We are gratifed toobserve that Edward
G. Garrett the democratic nominee fol
representative, meets these qualifications
fully. He comes from a good state; is in
the prime of life and has had that bust
ness training which fits a man for public
life and enables him to deal with the af-
fairs of a new country intelligently. Mr.
L y
2S, 1856 He received his rudimentary
education in the public schools of the
county and went thence to the high
school in Philadelphia where he protited
by the superior instruction which it i'm
parts Thus equipped for life's battle,
Mr. Garrett went in 1878 to Alabama,
whence in the following year, he removed
to New Orleans. In 1877 he came to
Montana, was chief clerk for General
Brooke, commanding the military district
of Montana. He fulfilled the duties of
that position for four years, winning the
approval Of that popular commander and
acquiring thorough knowledge of north
ern Montana. ""
Released from these duties Mr.. Garrett
engaged in the hardware business with
James Gibson, at Sun River, and subse
quently became bookkeeper with the late
firm Of Hamilton q Hazlett- at Chofeau.
Knowing themerfts Of north Montana and
the broad field it afforded for men of en-
terprize, Mr.. Garrett resolved to settle
there permanently and has made Choteau
his home. In that promising town he has
been engaged in the real estate and con-
veyancing business for the past three
years and has been justice of the peace
for the past year.
On this honorable record and with no
other expectation than that he will square
ly and openly fulfill the duties of repre-
sentative and work hard for the welfare
Of both counties, Cascade county will give
Mr.. Garrett a sweeping majority. Let
Choteau do likewise and his success is
certain.

Through some oversight the fact of Mr..
Tim Collins presiding as permanent presi-

duties he performed with his usual busi-

of all, was ommitted from our Butte re-

The Edwin Martin Memorial Fund.
An Appeal to the Newspaper Men Of the Ursted
States.
The newspaper workers of Savan-
nah have organized the Edwin Martin
Memorial Fund committee. It's pur-
pose is to raise fund for the family
of Edwin Martin, managing editor of
the Jacksonville (Fla.) Times Union,
who died in that city this week of
yellow fever.
The initiatory move towards raising
the fund was made In Savannah be-
cause Mr.. Martin was for more than
three years connected with the daily
press of this city. His fidelity in
sticking to his post after the disease
was declared epidemic commands adj
miration from all, and most especially
from newspaper men the world over.
Sending his wife and children to a
point of safety Editor Martin bravely
decided not to leave. He felt that it
would be Sinking duty to go away
himself, and he chose to risk his life
rather than join the refugees and leave
his work and the responsibilities of
his position to others. He was not
counting reputation, and from the
first he felt that the chances of living
through the epidemic were against
him. No prospect of gain Influenced
him, because his pen brought him no
income other than that which was at
tached to his editorial position.
1t is proposed to make the fund ex-
clusively a journalistic testimonial,
the first that has been attempted. 1t
is believed that to pay tribute to 80
noble member of the profession will
be a pleasure to every newspaper
worker in the country.
For many years Mr.. Martin owned
and edited a weekly newspaper, and as
a practical printer he represented the
men who handle the types. AS the
representative of the Associated and
United Press associations, his paper
owning both franchises in the stricken
city,-it was through him that the
press of this country was furnished
with the daily news of the progress of
the epidemic. Therefore this appeal is
directed to the men of every newspa-
per, both daily and weekly. Every
newspaper worker is asked to send
something, no matter how small the
amount. 1t is suggested that the city
editor or some one man on each paper
take charge of the list in his own office
and make the remittance at the earli-
est date convenient. All contributions
will be promptly acknowledged.
Remittances should be made to j.
II. Estill, chairman of the Martin Me-
mortal Fund committee, Savannah,
Ga, and all correspondence addressed
to Austin r. Myres, secretary. j. Fl.
Estill, Gazaway Hartridge, Frank
Weldon, G. A. Gregory, Austin r.

Fortune Smiled on Him.

Galesville was considerably excited
the other day by q report that a
twentieth of ticket number 44,545,
which drew the third capital prize of
$50, 900 in the September drawing, of
the Louisiana State Lottery at New
Orleans, was held bya party in Gales
vile. Inquiry soon ELECTED the fact
that the lucky person was Chas. T.
Silk, one of our best known citizens.
An Independent reporter interviewed
Mr.. Silk on Monday and ELECTED the
following facts. For some time he
had been investing a small sum each
month in tickets, and had several
times drawn small prizes. He had
confidence that if he kept on he would
at last be successful, and the result
shows the correctness of this impress
sion. In the September drawing he
had ten tickets, and three of them
drew prizes, two of $50 each, and one
of 81, 500, one twentieth of the third
capital prize. Mr.. Silk is a poor man,
and this great good fortune will enable
him to make many improvements
about his home, and his good luck will
be shared by all of our citizens, who
rejoice with him in his good fortune.
The prizes were collected through
the bank of Galesville, and were paid
in full.-GGlesvslIe Ills.) Independent,

He Camped Out.
Boston Globe.

Once there was little boy who all
summer long had been very anxious to
camp out over night. Behind his
mothers house was large garden-as
large as q whole city block-and at
the far end of it was little knoll or
hill, with rocks cropping out. 1t was
behind this hill that little Paul W ished
to camp, for from there the house
would be out of sight and it would be
"just like truly camping" So his
mother gave him large, old crumb
cloth for tent, pair of blankets and
sofa cushion for bed, tin pail full
of bread, cold meat and hard boiled
eggs and some gingerbread and apples
for his breakfast; also a bottle of
milk, a tin cup, a wooden plate
and small package of pepper and
salt. She then gave him some cotton
to put in his ears-to keep out little
bugs and things. She had the hired
man help him drive the stakes and
fasten the crumbcloth over them. The
hired man, of his own accord, brought
from the barn large bundle of hay to
spread under the blankets, 90 as to
make a comfortable bed. BY twilight
everything was ready, and Paul kissed
his mother, his aunt and his big sister
goodbye, and shouldering his cross
bow, marched away to the "Rocky
Mountains"-as he called the little
knoll.
He pinned back the doors of his
tent with big catch pins, and then sat
down on the ground. Everything
was dreadfully still, but the bright
tin pail and the bottle OF milk looked
very comfortable in the soap box
cupboard; the brave cross bow, with
its tin-pointed arrows, promised
safety, while the blankets, soft cush-
ion and the soft hay were all that any
reasonable camper could ask for.
But it was 80 dreadfully still! Not
even the smallest baby breeze was
stirring; through hole in the crumb-
cloth shone star, and the star made
outdoors seem stiller yet. Paul I'M
buttoned one shoe and then the other,
and sat for awhile listening. Then
suddenly kicking off his shoes, he
scrambled under the blankets and lay
quite still. He was very small boy,
and camping out wasn't delightful in
every way.
1t was nearly half past eight, man,
ma was knitting, the aunt was sewing,
and the big sister was standing on the
dictionary rehearsing her elocution ex-
ercises. Nobody but mamma heard
the back hall door softly open and the
tiny feet go stealing upstairs. When
the elocution exercises was over NAM
ma said she must go and find the mate
to the stocking she was knitting. So
she went upstairs, but before looking
for the stocking she went into Paul's
room. There in the starlight she saw
the brown, curly head. cuddled into
its customary pillows. She was a
good and faithful mamma, and so she
did not laugh-out loud. She stopped
over the half-hidden head and whis-
pered: "Were you lonesome dear?"
and Paul whispered back: "Kind of
l heard something
very close to my head.
And 80 l came in. And-you won't
tell, will you, mammal"
Faithful mamma didn't "tell"-not
until long afterward, when Paul had
grown to be 30 old and SO big that he
went "truly camping" far away to the
Rocky mountains. !
