AROUND FLATHEAD AGENCY.

Chief Arlee Probably Dead Ere Now.
Church Dsdication-Horse Traders.
Glenn Carter is enjoying an outing at
Flathead agency and writes to The MINER
that the drouth in that portion of the ter.
ritory is as severe as in every other part Of
the West side. He says that the ranchere
are putting up q very slim crop of hay, and
that stock, although looking fairly well,
has hard times r~ustling for food.
Other information which he imparts is
that Arlse, head chief of the Flauheads,
was reported to be dying and that Father
D'Aste, of the mission, had been called to
his bedside to administer the last consola.
ton OF the church. Arlee's complaint is
said to be dropsy.
Bishop Brondel was at the mission on
st. lgnatius' day, July 81. and admins
tered confirmation to a large number oi
Indians. Last Sunday the bishop and
Father D'Aste were at the agency and dedi'

Mrs. Price, the unfortunate wife OF ]. W.
Price, the @ronaut, whose brutal treat.
ment Of her has been ventilated by the
newspapers OF the city. has finally been
released from further companionship with
him. A benevolent gentleman of South
Butte, who heard of her pitiable and
~forlorn condition, interested himself in her
behalf. Being almost without sufficient
clothing to cover her person, the gentleman
alluded to bought her sufficient a quantity
to supply her immediate wants, and also
rented a room for her with q family on
West Granite street, and provided her
with money with which to purchase meals.
He next called upon Sheriff Lloyd, and
asked him to appeal to the county CON.

them to furnish the lady with transporta-
ton to her home at Salt Lake City, where
her parents reside. Mr.. Lloyd Lot only
promised to do as requested, but also said
that in case the commissioners refused
to furnish the transportation re-

for her. The latter part Of his promise,
however, he did not have to carry out, for

FOR STRICKEN SPOKANE.

HE-=4 - Wv
There were so few present in the Board
of Trade rooms at the meeting called to
take place there last evening to devise
measures for the relief Of the stricken
city Of Spokane Falls, that it was con-
cluded to adjourn the meeting until this
evening, when, it is hoped, there will be
q large attendance.
: The cause is urgent, and it will never
do to allow the deservedly high reputa-
ton of Butte for charity to its distressed
neighbors to suffer an eclipse.
Circumstances have arisen within the
last few days to occupy the public atten-
ton with home matters to the exclusion
of all else, and when public attention is
aroused, as it surely will be, by a consid-
GRAFTON Of the pressing needs OF our un-
fortunate sister city, the response will be
substantial and worthy of the pastrecord
of Butte
Let there be a full out-turn of all
classes at the Board of Trade rooms at 8
o'clock this evening, and let everyone
then present be prepared to open his
purse-stringS to their widest. Remem-
Der that "he gives twice who gives
quickly" and let there be no further
delay.

A Washington letter says that all
sorts Of rumors are current in regard to
startling discoveries being made by the
commission now investigating the re-
rating of pensions by the Pension office.
The most of these rumors are undOubt-
eddy based on the frightened talk Of the
implicated employees Of the Pension Of
flee, for the members Of the commission
are not likely to do any talking until
their official report has been handed in
to Secretary Noble. 1t is generally be-
lieved that there has been a good deal of
crookedness in this business, and that a
large number Of the employees Of the Of
fee have been engaged in it, but whether
they can be punished further than to be
made to disgorge the money illegally OBJ
tanned is a question. The report Of the
commission is anxiOusly looked for. The
people want to know whether the facts
are to be shown up, or the whitewash
brush applied. f. .-

Referring to the doubts raised by the
Fort Benton "River Press" as to the truth
of the statement that cattle are already
perishing as a result of the severe
drouth,S THE MINERS reliable Boulder
correspondent gives his authority for the
item, and adds some facts which tits
just as well not to ignore. Too many
outsiders have been misled by alluring
reports into rushing their herds of cattle
into Montana, one Of the consequences
being that the native cattle are unable
to find nourishment where it might, even
now, be plentiful but for the influx of
the droves from neighboring territories.
A full knowledge of the facts must de-
velop sooner or later, and the sooner the
better for all concerned.

The cultivation Of hemp has, Of late,
been much encouraged by sentiment at
Washington and In the public prints,
the belief being that there are condi-
lions favorable in this country for the
manufacture of fine linen. Appropos of
this subject 1t ia worth while taking note
of the remark of the Yuma, Arizona,
Sentinel" which says that the wild
hemp which grows SO luxuriantly on the
Colorado river bottom lands will be OF
great value in the near future. Expert
mental tests have proven the fibre Of the
wild hemp to be superior to that of jute,
and the cheapness with which it can be
laid down in the California market is
another great advantage. This wild
hemp will be worth looking after by
Southern Nevada settlers who are locat-
ed along the Colorado. 1t is Of luxuri-
ant growth in the wild state, and it
would no doubt be improved in quality
by judicious cultivation.

The western and northwestern states, but q
born and bred Minnesotian writes a letter
in che New York Tribune" dispelling this
idea. 1t
u In, the childhood of this writer the people
OF Minnesota were native Americans who
had come from the older states. They
formed little farm communities, with their
schools and churches, which the letter
writer; describes in an idyllic way. In this
same neighborhood now there are not a
half dozen American families left. The
Germans. with their women doing farm
labor and their greater economy, have
bought the pioneer farms and crowded the
the families out, our writer says. One day
he rode fifty miles on horseback recently in
Minnesota, and found nobody who could
give him direction about the load in good
English. The people we're Norwegians.
In q quiet way q movement from Europe
to America has been in progress for fifty
years, which is a genuine migration OF ma
tions. The Scandinavians in the two Da-
kotas are able to control the elections,
according to this authority. Minneapolis
is governed by the Scandinavian vote. In
q town OF 800 in Dakota there are not
three native Americans. The rest are Nor
wegians. There are whole communities OF
Russians, Dance, Swedes, and one or two
OF Icelanders.
But where is the native American, the
descendant OF the Puritan, or even of
those who came to America a hundred
years ago?

SERVED HIM RIGHT.

A Pi no Player Insults the Wrong Lady
as He was Soon Convinced.
There is at least one lady in the city who
is amply able to protect herself and resent
all insults, and also teach men who SO far
forget themselves as to offer an insult to a
lady or a public street that very often it is
a dangerous thing to attempt.
The lady is the accredited correspondent
OF a Helena paper, and day before yester.
day she was passing along Copper street,
near Main, when German piano player,
nam,d Homburg, assaulted her because he
imagined that his namehad been mentioned
in the paper in a manner to which he took
exceptions. Stung to the quick by the IN.
suit offered on a public t~horoushfare, the
lady threw her hat and o parcel she was
carrying to the sidewalk, and ''sailed in"
The way she trounced the fellow was, in.
deed, q caution, and it took but a moment
to make him think that he had insulted J.
l.. Sullivan in disguise, and as soon as he
could began to beg and plead for mercy,
and finally took to fight. The lady then
gathered up her hat and parcel and quietly
walked of, conscious that she had given
the fellow no more than he deserved.

The present French government is
nominally republican in form, but it is
going into history as arbitrary and dog
matte as the governments OF the empire.
France is to-day a republic only in
name. As a specimen Of the intolerance
of the present regime may be cited the
new law on French nationality, a copy
of which Minister Reid has just sent to
the department at Washington: This
law is as absurd as it is unjust, and as it
seriously affects all Americans doing
business in France as we'll as French
men who have come to this country to
locate, it is likely to cause serious COM
plications between the United States and
the French nation. The spirit of La
fayette does not dominate the present
French officials.

FIAT 4 WOMAN SAYS.
A Little Chapter Which is Doubtless Full
of Facts and Morals.

MANY women lose the love OF their hus-
bands because they are too ignorant or
too Indifferent to keep it. Ask any OF your
friends how they captured their other hail.
and they will tell you frankly, Il don't
know.,, A mans heart ID ensared by a
nretty hand, nice teeth. a round, low
voice, frank eyes, beautiful hair; oy the
way q girl walks, talks, plays, rides puns;
by her gifts, her smiles. her aniapility'
good taste, generosity, or the very manner
in which she g~reets, f~ascinates or abuses
him. She may not know how she won him,
| but il she doesn't know how to keep him,
the best thing for her to do isto find put.
There are many things we know by intu-
ition; the rest have to be learned by ex-
perience. Conscious OF her abilities or ina
| bilities as a wife, a wise woman will learn
how to keep a husband just as she learns
how to keep house, to make chicken cro-
u~uettes, chocolate cream, beds or lemon
| AIDE. and ii she doesn't, why, some siren
| will for all time relieve her OF the trouble:
| Men like to preach down extravaganza and
bangs her hair, hides a blotch or scar
under d piece eff court plaster, who wants
pretty gloves and stockings, trim slippers,
J perfumes, balms, cold creams, finger curls
and fancy notions to improve her charms,
is the woman who is admired by them all.
Common sense and u~gliness may be NOR
ally wholesome, but they are not alluring,
and art is apt to triumph over nature IN
adorned.
If a man is fond OF f1attery. let him have
it. II he has ambitions or schemes, listen
to him with open eyes OF wonder, and no
matter what the occasion is, never permit
your knowledge to exceed his. Men de.
spise smart women, but have no fault to
find when her talent is large enough to ap.
preciate his greatness. Men like to be
looked up at, depended on, quoted and re-
ferred to.
An ugly temper is a trail that few women
are able to endure. The only cure is silence
You can't kiss a furious man; it only
makes him worse. The thing to do is to
keep still, let him cool, n let the matter
drop. He will respect your sense, and
come to terms of his own accord. To be
borr q woman is to be born a martyr, but
the husband that's worth wedding is worth
keeping and if q little ~artifice, a pleasant
smile, q contented heart, forbearance de
voJion and tact will hold him, by al
means let him be held.
Men must be taken as they are, not al
they should be; they improve under the re
filming influence of mutualinterest and love
and he is a very wretched specimen OF hu
mainly who cannot be counted on to shielt
his wife from the Bullets Of the world, ant
be an anchor for her when youth ant
beauty have proved unfaithful.

DIR. Ainslie a Well Known Practitioner
Run Over by q Montana Union Train.
Johnnie Simpson who came in on yester,
day evenings Montana Union train brought
intelligence of the accidental death OF DR..
Ainslie, who was run over by thetrain on
board OF which Mr.. Simpson was. The last
time the unfortunate man was seen alive was
at Garrison, a short time before the train
pulled out, and it is supposed he was walk
ing on the track when he was killed. The
body was horribly cut and mangled and
pieces of it scattered along TIE road for
some distance. The remains we're placed
in a blanket and taken to Deer Lodge
where an inquest will be held, to-day.
Deceased was well known at Garrison,
Avon and other towns in that locality
where he had been practicing his profession
for a long time. Some Of those who were
acquainted with him seem to think it was
a case Of suicide, but this, of course, is
mere conjecture, as nc good reasons for
such belief are known to exist.
The engineer OF the train seems to be
peculiarly unfortunate a. it was his engine
which al over and killed Mrs. Walton,
near Deer Lodge, several weeks ago. y

BUTTE PEOPLE IN EARNEST,

The meeting at the courthouse, last
evening, was one of the most .enthusias'
tic demonstrations ever held in Silver
Bow county. There were representatives
present from all the divergent walks Of
~life-eyery business interest, all shades
of political belief-and all united in
urging that the capital, If removed al
all, be brought to Butte.
There was no animosity shown to.
ward Helena OF Anaconda, OF any other
town. No jealousy or feelings of vim,
d%ictiveness, but simply a patriotic desire
that Butte's business interests must be
considered first where Butte people are
concerned.
The resolutions adopted and the com
mittee appointed to 60 to Helena to-day,
to present the resolutions, will make it
clear to the Silver Bow delegation, if
nothing else has or can, that there is
earnestness about this matter here in
Butte, and that the people here do not
mean to let their representatives pledges
to other places first, stand in the path of
the onward movement of progress in
Butte, il the constituents can effect any
thing by united action.
Butte is by far the largest city in Mon
tana. It is the most progressive, the
most energetic; it will soon be the lead
ing railroad point. 1t has all the adj
vantages of a political center, and there
is no good reason why it should not be
at least the temporary capital of Mon
tana. ~
Last nights meeting will convince the
delegates in the constitutional conven-
ton of the earnestness of the people here
in this matter of the capital removal, and
1t ought to have the effect of securing
the change which is generally desired
throughout the state.

his presence there attract unusual atten.

ing across the placid waters OF the beauti.
full lake in the steam yacht, but on this &C.
easion he summoned courage enough to
tackle a row boat. He stepped in a boat
as one would alight from a carriage. As
ne did so an obliging gentleman on the
shore pushed the boat QUITO start it and in
doing so, Mr.. Irwin, who is a 200 FOUNDER,
sat heavily in the bottom OF the boat.
Gathering himself together he lost his
equilibrium and suddenly there was a
splashing. The boat had capsized and Mr.,
Irwin was lost to view. He hobbed up sc.
renely from below, however, and struck
ont for shore. Commodore O'Nei in com.
mand of the steam yacht, rushed to the
rescue as Mr.. Irwin padded shoreward. He
noticed bis hat floating around, and ask.
ing his rescuers to excuse him for d minute,
a few strokes brought him to bis sombrero,
which he grasped. He then made for the
shore again and landed safely, but greatly
winded. The marshal is IL capital joker
but now his friends have a joke on him that
will last for some time.
When asked what his thoughts were whilt
he was below water level, he said, II wal

The losses by the Spokane Falls fire Of
Sunday night are now placed at ten
millions of dollars. This is doubtless
nearly accurate. These figures do not,
however, fairly represent the amount Of
suffering the homeless there are now en-
during. It should be remembered that
nearly all the provisions in the city were
burned, and that immediate outside re-
lief is imperative. The officials of the
city are theoretically at work trying to
remedy the evils and to put things to
rights as much as possible.
