A rEw daYs ago the superintend-

"A FEW days ago the supeIlutehu-
emit of a W. G. I. u. lodging house
in Chicago got drunk and was
promptly discharged. He has been
a total abstainer for five years, and
it is said that he is a trustworthy,
capable man, but tho society thought
it must make an example of him,
and was kicked out. That may
have been good temperance tactics,
but there are people who will think
otherwise. AS We understand it
the aim and purpose of the true
temperance society are to save
those who are liable to 60 astray,
and not to work with those who
neither drink nor are likely to
drink. The superintendent gave
way to temptation after five years
of rectitude and abstinence, and
then was the time for the temper
ance people to go to his rescue and
prevent his return to the fallen con-
dition from which he had been lif-
ted. 1t certainly was not tho time
to give him kick, and throw him
overheard, making him feel that
there was no friend to stretch forth
a helping hand. Ii the Chicago
w. g. Il. U. believes its place is to
reform those who do not stand In
need of reformation, to keep temp
tation from those who cannot be
tempted, it may be cminently res
pectable, but it will not help the
temperance cause to any marked
extent.

The situation in the Kootenai coun-
try is assuming an alarming and dan
gerous aspect, if the reports of the
correspondent OF the Missoulian are to
be depended upon. The Indians are
becoming defiant and aggressive and
threaten serious trouble. There is
feeling of dread and apprehension,
evidently on the part of the settlers,
as is evinced by the fact tnat call has
been made upon the governor for
troops 10 suppress the biood-thirsty
savages. The alarm may possibly be
needless; but, aster the massacre of
thre, whites by the hrutes, it is we'll
enough to take all due precautions.

foreign field Is the most allurins, Oocau>e
rates OF interest are cheaper than they are
IN this country. Her q there are so many
avenues open for Investment The stock
industry IN this territory divides the inter
est OF capitalists with nlinersl development,
which is All added reason why We look to
outside capital in large measure Tor our
mineral development Then again much
OF our local capital is locked up in building
branch lines OF railways. These lines rsdi-
ate from Helena IN every direction. Before
midsummer We shall have direct commune
