SOME GOOD ADVIcE-GIvE
THE BUYERS A CHANCE.

vi oepIehloef IoGll, gives u Iull
and good account OF the opening
sales. Messrs. A. p. Thorpe &
Go. sold five lots at 50 cents av-
erage for r. d. Armstrong; six
lots at 70 cents average for same
party the next day; for S. A. Ar

DR.. c. L. Rollebrew seven lots at
30 cents; w. f. Edwards five lots
at 32 cents; Jesse rakefourlots
at Al cents average.
Surely these appear to be as full
and as fancy prices as any mar.
ket pays, and if planters are true
to themselves they will not be al
lured away from home markets.
1t is the planters interest to build
up home markets, and it be
hooves them to work as hard as
the warehOuseman or any one to
maintain home markets. The
warehouseman will do his best to
secure buyers and then bigprices.
He will be on his guard as we'll as
the local merchant to see thatno
other market outstrips him. The
buyer knows he must keep upfair
prices to keep up the market, and
yet if he imprudently or unwisely
bulls the market too much he will
lose his orders or money, whichis
a loss to all concerned in the mar
ket. The merchant takes an in
terest and should, ifpossible, take
stock in warehouses and sales, for
it is his dependence and brings
him custom in proportion to sales
made. Trite but true, and bears
repeating, warehousemen may
buy themselves or not, according
to custom, but it is generally q
disfavored practice, for he has all
advantages on his side against
other buyers, and if he buys to
sustain prices and to outbid some
other market, such made values
will soon react and perhaps per-
manently reduce prices and in-
iure the market materially for the
future. Within one year wehave
seen the effects OF such efforts i'm

a slow and tedious rally will be
looked for next. Fancy prices
may please for a while, but won't
pay in the long run, and in some
way will have TO be made up for

All tobacco markets nowadays
are so closely watched for a turn
or a profit that no market. how
ever remote, when once known, is
apt to suffer for want of buyers
at full prices, il the tobacco is ut
all fine or in demand elsewhere.
Sellers, whether planters or deal
ers, should remember that unless
there is some margin for profit
the buyer would necessarily be
ruled out and would operateclse-

above the bullying base Of the tree the
choppers had to have something to
stand on. Instead Of taking a chair
or step-ladder or platform, they
cut notches in the tree, put in mar

They chopped on one side and then
on the other. Throwing down" or
telling these big trees, as it is called,
became an art. The choppers began
by putting in their spring boards
three or four feet from the ground.
That was enough to avoid the butt. It
was daring work to begin with. It
was still more risky to go a little
higher from the ground. Rivalry

often they would stand as high as fif-
teen feet from the ground to chop. At

THE DIVORCE EVIL.

Marriage Made Fsilure by the Ease
with Which 1t Can BE Annulled.
The frivolous character of the com.
plants in many cases Of divorce re-
Gently granted and now on the docket
leads thoughtful people to ask: "What
are we coming TOP" We do not know
that the wives in given number OF
cases are more blamable than the hus-
bands, but it is the wives who suffer
the most from such sundered rela-
tons As rule. they suffer more in
their affections and in their reputa-
lions than the stronger sex. While
there is something to be said in favor
of law Of divorce which separates
mismated couples, there is no condem.
nation too severe for men or women
who enter the marriage state with the
idea in their minds that if they do not
like it they will take advantage of the
law that allows them to escape Yet
there is no doubt that thoughtless
young men and giddy girls often do
approach the altar with that thought
in their minds. In cases where the
husband is very young the idea is apt
to grow in strength as the years pass.
He finds him self while on the sunny
side Of thirty with wife who has pos.
sibly lost some OF her girlish beauty;
and children, whose necessities absorb
the greater part of his earnings He
compares the free and independent
life of some of his bachelor associates,
and imagination magnifes the pleas
ures he might participate in if he were
unmarried. Some day the wife, who
is i'll prepared to fight the battles of life
alone, is stunned by the service of an
application for divorce. Cases OF this
kind, we regret to say, are not uncom-
mon. Almost every one can recall
one or more in his own circle of &C.
quaintances. OF course. If the real
reasons were preferred in tho appli.
cation less harm would be done; but
the legal necessity of setting
forth reasons often suggests resort
to falsehood. Trifes in the way of
disagreements will be magnified and
baseless suspicious urged as matters
Of fact. The remedy for them, as for
most other evils, lies with the people
themselves. The law is not SO much
at fault as the facility with which it is
evaded. The church and society are
too lenient in matters of this kind. II
may be questioned II a man divorcing

he prefers to live single is injured in
his business or social relations by his
act If he has been church member

AN UNDERTAKER'S STORY,
How y "Dead" Painter Proved Himself to
Be . Lively Corpse.

How dead" Painter Proved Himself to
Be Lively Corpse.
, A Third avenue undertaken, sitting
drowsily in his half-lighted doorway
night before last, said to me: my
business not only accustoms me to the
presence of the dead, but makes me
calm in the presence Of that still great
err horror, the coming to life again Of
what was supposed to be corpse.
Five or six years ago a painter who
was painting the outside of a house.
somewhere in the business part OF the
city, fell from his staging to the pave
ment distance Of about thirty feet.
Physicians were summoned, but in q
few moments pronounced him dead.
He was brought to my place, and I
laid him out temporarily, in my back
room, with several other corpses.
That evening / was sitting at my desk
in my front Office, writing, when l
heard some one moving in the dead
room; and Hooked around just in time
to see the painter open the door, and
lean weakly up against the jamh As
his face was battered and covered with
blood. and his clothing half of. he
presented what might be called .
CHASTITY spectacle. But, did my heart
stand still, and did great drops of cold
sweat roll from my marble brow? Not
much. l went up to the man, took
hold OF him, la.i him on a sofa, and
went for doctor. The doctor came
and administered restoratives, and in
another hour the painter was in his
cot at the county hospital. In about
ten days he got about, and is now as
healthy a man as lives in Chicago
That shows that the doctors can make
mistakes about man being dead; but
1t doesn't show that l can be fooled.
for / hadn't dressed the painter, and
ther sfore hadn't noticed him closely.

MEMORIES,

Once more beneath my yearning eyes
The deep-secluded vale appears;
Once more see the mountains rise
That in the dimly distant yeara
Behold our bitter parting tears.
The meadow path by which we walked
In those old days that we're SO sweet
The stream that talks as then It talked,
The low-roofed church, the village street.
That once was glad beneath her feet.
Each common object seems to say
With me in mute, complaining moan:
THE light Is parted from our day;
She once was here, but now is gone,
And we are. left alone-alonei'
wander on, yet, as go, f.
The JOY to view each well-loved scene
Is vanquished by the greater woe,
TO think OF all that might have been,
Had hard fate not stepped between.
Farewell, once more my hearts sad home;
Once more go: yet, wheresoe'er ~
Through length Of weary days roam,
NOne memory, heart-enshrlned bear
This mountain valley green and fair,
And the sweet flower that blossomed there

A SAD SUICIDE.
ID. Featherly, of Butte, Takes His
Own Life.

BUTTE. June 11.-[Special. AT five
o'clock yesterday afternoon 7. D. Featherly,
a cigar maker about thirty years old, shot
and killed himself in the rear room of his
wife's candy store, while his wife
was waiting on customer in the
front room The bullet entered his breast
and his death was almost instantaneous.
The suicide left letter, saying that he
could not live without his wife and asking
her forgiveness for all his wrongs. The
letter is explained by the fact that his wife
had recently sued for divorce on account of
of his dissipation. Deceased was
a member of the A. o. U. w.
He leaves one child, a little girl. He
was prominently connected in the Terri
tory and was prosperous business man up
to three years ago, when he began drink
ing. There have been domestic troubles in
the family for some time. Deceased was
brother of Alderman Featherly, of Helena,
and has mother and sister living in Dill
Ion. Anumber of relatives will attend the
funeral to-day. The unfortunate was un-
doubtedly crazed with liquor at the time
of committing the rash act, which has
astounded all his friends.

consisted of wife and three child en-,
Their house was rolled over and over and
the wife and children several times SWEET
off from the wreck and would certainly
have perished as did others, but the dogs
dashed in every time, regardless of danger
and obstacles, and brought the wife and
children back safe to the building and kept
them together, and when the wreck foated
near enough to land the dogs took every
member safely to the shore. Mr.. Kress
says that those dogs are worth more to him
than the 100000 that he lost. Even after
the flood had passed one of the dogs re-
turned to the site of the old home ard
stood sentry over the safe that belonged to
his master

IT was noble thing for the people of
Seattle, who had raised purse of 81 200
for the flood victims the night before the
big fire, to refuse to divert it from the OBJ
ject for which it was raised. Such people
are deserving of a generous respect While
some are partially insured there are always
many at such times who lose all they have
and besides lose their employment by
which to earn their daily bread and sup
port for their family. The means of relief
are not so abundant and ready along our
North Pacific coast as in the older settled
portions of the States. Our own city has
been through fiery trials and knows more
keenly how to sympathise with this class
of victims

In letter addressed to Delegate Carter
by Mr. Allen, Manager of the Helena and
Livingston Smelter and Reduction Co, and
which is inclosed with other printed evi-
dence in the statement submitted to the
Secretary of the Treasury, he says the out
put of those works at ..present average

product is SO per cent lead, carrying from
100 to 125 ounces of silver per ton and
from one to two ounces of gold. AccOr-
ding to present rulings these ores have to
compete with those admitted from Mexico
free of duty where the wages paid
in mining and producing these
ores are only one-tenth wha
is paid in Montana. Such competi-
tion and unjust discrimination is deadly
assault upon both our mine owners and our
miners. The law designed for our protec-
tion, through quibble about names, is ap-
piled for our destruction. Mr.. Window
should not hesitate q moment in so in
terpreting and applying the law as to pro-
tect Americans in preference to Mexicans.
If the latter are 10 enter our markets in

WE are ready to 20 as far any one in
preventing undesirable immigration into
the United States, but we object to basing
the restrictions upon nationality rather
than upon personal qualifications. The
ghouls who were found mutilatiDg the
bodies of the victims of the recent flood
deserved to be shot, not because they were
Hungarians, but because their acts showed
them to be destitute of humanity and unfit
to live among civilized beings and enjoy
the protection of the laws of civilized
society. If they had been
Americans they would have deserved
no other or better treatment. We know
Hungarians living in Montana who have
lived here for fifteen or twenty years, and
are just as good citizens as any of any

are opposed to the uttermost to the

laborers brought in to underbid our own
wage earners. And we are opposed to
naturalizing any person of any race who
cannot present positive evidence of intelli-
gence, good character and ability to sup
port himself by some useful and respectable
trade or occupation emitting him to resi-

of saying that we are opposed to all immi-

best blood, character and ability of all
nations, not enough to 20 out and urge
them to come and pay their passage, as
Canada and the South American States are
doing, but so far as to promise them

all the advantages of the best government

IT will be Just about another full year
before the national census will be taken
and that will add at least 10000 more
to our population than we have to-day.
Do we realize that our annual growth is
enough to add one strong new State every
year? Even in that time Montana will
not have begun he, great growth. 1t is
only the comb of the waves of immigration
that now send spray over our bound

will be on US in its full strength, and by
1900 Montana will have from a half to
three quarters of million of inhabitants.
For good reason we should provide for

growing rapidly it is of the greatest i'm

They All Recognized Him

CHICAGO, June IA strong chain of
circumstantial evidence has been wound
about John j. Maroney, under arrest in
New York on suspicion of being connected
with the murder of DR.. Cronin The story,
as given by the authorities. is a. follows:
Photographs were procured of Maroney
and Mcdonald, the other man arrested in
New York. These were mixed with
number of others and shown to Salesman
Hatfield, of Revel & Co.'s, who sold the
furniture which was subsequently found in
the Carlson cottage, in which Dr. Cronin
was murdered. Hatfield, without hesita.
tion, picked out Maroney's portrait as that
of the man to whom he sold the furniture.
The pictures were then shown to Throck.
morton, the real estate agent who rented
the room opposite Cronin's office. Throck-
morton picked out the picture of Maroney
as the man to wnom he rented the room.
Once more the pictures were shuffied and
this time they were shown to Expressman
Maitenson, who carted the furniture to the
Carlson cottage, with the same result. In
each case the man had given his name as
j. B. Simmons
