 known among the scholars.
 The rules were very strict, but excellent. No one was allowed to scribble in their school books and their books were kept very free from this vice. The scholars generally all most worshiped their teacher, MT. L., and perfectly how to unbend and be familiar and sociable with his scholars without in the least losing their esteem or respect. Once or twice every quarter he would invite the mons itors some evening to the school room and treat them to nuts, figs and raisins, &c., and hear them engage little in regular formal debates or discussions, which were enjoyed hugely. On one occasion in watermelon time he took all the monitors out to MT. Jo- seph Munson's farm at the north end of Ashmun street on 8 Saturday afternoon. MT. M had 8 large patch of excellent large watermelons, where we were treated to the full. This was one of the happiest and most memorable times of boyhood.
 The following members are all that l now think of that are living who went to the school when it first started: William Gilbert, of Allingtown, brother of the late Elias Gill bert, monitor general of reading, and Horace Mansfield, monitor general of arithmetic; George Day (Prof. Y. O. and his brother Horace (sec. pub. schools) about six and (ex-selectman, &c.); James M. Mason Gn- surance, &c.j; ex-Governor English, some nine years of age when first a scholar, and his brother Abel Jsycocks Qawyer), and William A. Mansfield, Plymouth, Conn. These are all can now think of. Doubtless some are living who reside out of town, but I hardly think there are great many more now living. Of some of those not now liv- ing were Sidney Smith, monitor general of reading. He was one of the best schol- ars in the school, qualified himself under MT. Lovell's instruction for teacher and opened a Lancasterian school in New Orleans and carried 1t on with success @ few years and died there. Benjamin English, oldest broth CT of ex.Governor English, was monitor general of order, time and place, became lumber merchant near the head of the wharf and died at about thirty. James G. English, president of tEe County bank, is his son. Henry Fitch was moderator general of read

A Drunkard's Adventure

M1ssoUIA, Sept 8.-Monday afternoon
man named Fred Miller was taken from
the Russ house t, tie Sisters hospital
1t appears the man has been at work for
some time up the valley. About week
ago he came down to the city and sold q
horse for $15, which he at once spent for
liquor. When his money was gone and
he was soaked through and through, he
went to bed, and for three days the cham
bermaid at the hotel noticed man in the
bed, but did not suppose that it was the
same one. Yesterday afternoon, while
standing at the foot of the stairs, Mr..
Matthes noticed man trying to slide
himself down the stairs, and on investi-
CATION found it was Miller, and that his
whole right side and tongue was par
alyzed. The liquor lad done its work.
He had laid in his bed unable to speak
for three days and three nights, and had
finally managed to crawl or roll to the
stairway. He was at once taken to the
hospital where he is receiving the best of
care. Miller is the man, it will be re.
membered, who narrowly escaped drown
ing with several companions in the Bitter
Root about this time last year, and who
for long time thereafter were supposed
to be dead. The Sisters nursed him back
then and may be able to cure him now.

CHOTEAU NOMINATES.
THE DEMOCRATS PLACE A COUNTY
TICKET IN THE FIELD AFTER
A LONG SESSION.
The Todd Delegates Withdraw From the
Conventi0n-D. G. Brown Selected for
Treasurer-O'Nein for Sheriff.

BENTON, Sept. = The democratic
county convention, which met last even
ing and remained in session until md
night, nominated the following ticket
Treasurer, d. G. Browne; sheriff, Frank
O'Neal; assessor, A. B, Hamilton; county
clerk and recorder, A. E. Rogers probate
judge, ]. W. Tattan; attorney, Mr..
Williams; surveyor, G. Fl. Mcintyre:
school superintendent, Miss Finnegan.
There was fight before the committee
on credentials in regard to the Benton
delegation. The committee finally de-
cided in the first place to admit Duer and
Genzberger, who had majority at the
first ballot. The remainder of the dele
gates were to be selected equally from
the Browne and Todd claimants. This re
port was adopted. Mr.. Conrad thereupon
said: "We can not sit with you under these
circumstance" and withdrew. Nomina
tions then went on and the ticket was
completed without any contests. TodG
withdrew his name for treasurer and
walked out and SO did Col. Donnelly.
The real work Of the convention had
been done in caucus. On Wednesday
the Todd delegates met with those from
Choteau, Birch creek and Dupuyer and
agreed to act together.
Yesterday morning another caucus was
held which upset things considerably. 1t
was held in the club room, the head
quarters of the Browne delegates. Part Of
the Choteau delegates, who had attended
the first caucus, were present, much to
the surprise of those who held aloof. At
this caucus resolutions were proposed
endorsing Browne and O'Neill; also ap-
proving Garrett as choice for representa-
tive in the legislature. Mr.. Steele took
the ground that Choteau should hold a
neutral position. Mr.. Schmidt also en-
pressed the same opinion. The caucus
did not press things, but gradually broke
up.
The Cheteau men were most concerned
about the representative in case the ques-
tion of county division should come up
hereafter. The irritation will doubtless
subside and the ticket poll the full party
vote,

provinces. In requesting this informa-
tion Lord Salisbury has enjolned the
Dominion government to exercise the
utmost caution in every movement Just
now, when an irregular step might tend
to strengthen the feeling of hostility
which has been raised towards the
Dominion. Sir. Johns attitude was not
cordially received by the ministers and
the meeting was an exceptionally lively
one. 1t is impossible to learn what line
of campaign Sir John proposed, but it is
known that several members of his
cabinet were by no means in accord with
his suggestions. There was strong dis
position on the part of several of the
ministers to Immediately withdraw the
obnoxious order which discriminates
against American vessels in the use of
Canadian canals. The power Of the presi-
dent to suspend the bonding privilege
was taken into consideration, it being
universally agreed that it could not be
done unless two years notice was given
without breaking the Washington treaty
In conclusion, the dispatch says. "Sev-
eral members Of the cabinet are red-hot
for retaliation against the United States,
while the cool heads are disposed to
take matters quietly and allow the British
government to get them out of the mud
die. Anyway, Sir John, before taking
any action, must receive the consent Of
Lord Salisbury, who evidently is not
pleased at being drawn into the squabble.
1t is stated that serious repture in Sir
Johns cabinet is not improbable over
the interference of the home govern
