SPECTACULAR A

Germany is preparing for next Sep
TENDER the most pretentious sham bat
tie of history. The coast of Schleswig.
llolstein has been chosen ms the Eel
of operations, which will include an
attack upon the splendidly fortified
island of Alsen. an attack bringing
into play either in the assault or the
defense the entire naval forces of the
empire. Invitations have been ex.
tended to the leading nations of the
world 10 send visiting squadrons to
witness the spectacle, and probably all
the invitations will be accepted, for To
military men the world W the pro
posed manoeuvers will be of deep in
terest as showing rs perfectly as posi-
BILE without actual bloodshed the adj.
yances the last lustrum has made in
the art of war.
If Germany's sole purpose was to
amuse, entertain and instruct the other
nations of the earth. the enterprise
would deserve all commentator.
There is, however, a grave suspicion
that the entertainment has been
planned in no such ~philanthropic
spirit, but rather is the outgrowth of a
desire of Germany TO impress rival
powers and principalities with her
formidable prowess both on land and
sea. She wishes to be regarded as a

very dangerous enemy should her
wrath w be provoked. This may
not be a Christian feeling, but its gen
eral effect is likely to be good, espe-
cially II the other nations see fit to pat
tern after Germany's example and en-
deavOr to eclipse each other in the size
and magnincence of their mimic mill
tary displays. The more formidable a
nation, the less likely is she to be at
tackled i'm these days when the posi-
bilities of destruction to life and prop
erty by the new explosives and pro-
~jectiles are practically unlimited. The
effect of sham battles on a %stupendous
scale therefore will be more In the in
terests of peace than of war.

THE MONDAY STANDARD.

In accordance with the announce
ments diligently made by our faithful
evening contemporary in Butte, the
public may look tomorrow for the
prompt appearance of the Monday
morning STANDARD. The Monday
edition has been i'm the field less than a
dozen weeks, yet il has become an in
dispensable part of west side life in
Montana and, like the STANDARD for
the other six days of the week, it was a
success from the start.
Aside from its usefulness in a large
field, the Monday morning STANDARD
has done an immense amount of good
by fixing the thought of the Butte
Inter Mountain on sacred Sunday
themes. II has already turned that
newspaper from some of the sabbath
frivol;ties which have occasionally UNI
fitted il for the serious work of the
Monday sanctum. The result is that
while Butte is getting an excellent
morning newspaper every Monday, the
Main street output of Monday after
noon is better than il used TO be.
Newspaper life is worth living il il is
spent in successful missionary work
with the Inter Mountain. That way
ward daily has To its account so much
for which il will have to be forgiven.
II needs pardon for having encouraged
Sanders, Il will need a good deal of sus-
tanning grace to carry il through an
other campaign for Carter. Its idols
are Harrison, Reed and Power-the
world, the flesh. the devil. The news
paper that redeems the Inter Mountain
may not get its reward in this world
but it may reasonably expect an extra
salutation from the harpists when it
leaves the Silver city to sweep through
the golden gates.
They tell us that the halo that goes
AS a reward for the final salvation of
the Inter Mountain is one which an
angel might envy. That is going to
be the prize of the STANDARDS high
calling. Meanwhile our patrons will
remember that the STANDARD is the
only newspaper that is read in Butte
on Monday morning. IL will give the
Butte news In full. wen il IL has to
make a side issue of the Inter Noun
tdiH's moral redemption.

Ahead of all the newspapers read in

Ahead of all the newspapers read in
Butte, the STANDARD announced that
the Silver city is going TO have a rail
road through service instead of a rail
road a The probabilities are that
the month of July will see one of the
Northern Paciiic's trans-continental
trains making its daily entry into
Butte. The new time card will put
Butte where it ought to have been
years ago-on the main line. There
isn't a doubt that the new route is
safest, shortest and best for coast pas
sengers and il Is sure to be the favorite
route with the travelling public. the
Helena route being reserved for those
curious and venturesome tourists who
want to see what a dangerous institu-
ton the Mullan tunnel is. AS IN
nounced exclusively in the STANDARD
of Friday morning, the officers of the
Northern Pacific who are under orders
to adjust the Homestake service, will
be in Butte this week.

In formal words the New York 7ri-
bune has rendered its thanks to the
eastern democrats who helped the re-
publicans TO defeat free coinage. The
list of democrats thus selected for the
compliments of the Tribune includes
only three senators and twenty-five rep
resentatives in the house. Except these,
the democratic vote in senate and
house was solid for free silver. On the
other hand twenty-one republican sen
ators voted against free coinage, while.
i'm the house, the best that silver could
do, when the test came, was to rally
all told twenty-three republican votes.

Information has been telegraphed all
the way from London to san Francisco
that an English mesmerist has by the
process of hypnotism succeeded in com
polling a hen to sit against her will and
hatch out "A brood of chickens at a time
when such a thing was farthest from
her thoughts. IL is scientific intelli-
gence of this kind that the people, es-
p~ecially the farming communities,
want. No more gratifying discovery
has been made this year. The day at
last seems dawning when the masses
are To be- released from the tyranny and
despotism Of their hens, under which
they have groaned in spirit through
the ages. The time is ut hand when
common people may set or unset hens
according to the dictates of their judy
ment, and without consulting the pri.
waite wishes of the hens themselves.
Upon the principal just applied by the
English mesmerist, IL is plain also that
ROSTERS may be utilized for sitting pur-
poses. Indeed, the functions of every
member of the animal kingdom may be
enlarged and brought under complete
aud perfect subsection To the master
mind of man. Lambs and lions shall
lie down together, foxes and fowls shall
dwell in unity, hogs shall cease from
roofing, and balky horses at a thought
from the mesmerist's brain shall strike
a Salvador gait.

warn Messrs. sullivan and Jackson
that If they fight anywhere within the
borders of that state they will make the
acquaintance of the cells and shops Of

however. kind enough to suggest a way
out of the difficulty if the two pugilists
really want to tight. They may hire a

struggle is so terrific as to knock the
ship to pieces the world will try to re-
concile itself to the disaster.

JUNE S THERMOMETER.

East of the Missouri river, phenomi-
nal heat marked the closing days of
June. over a wide area, the broiling
sun made life unbearable. In the
larger cities the midday heat was al
most beyond endurance, work had TO
be suspended where the laborers were
exposed TO the suns rays. the death
rate ran up at an alarming pace. and
the remarkably high range of the ther.
mometer furnished a theme for dis
patches which the news agencies wired
TO all parts of the country.
People who live in Montana know
of the suffeIings which mortals endure
from these extremes of heat only as
they read about il. In the belt of
country which includes Butte, Deer
Lodge and Anaconda, the only note.
worthy experience during June was its
abundant rain fall-a condition which
was everywhere welcomed, especially
i'm view Of last winters insufficient con.
tribution Of snow in the mountains.
For the use of the STANDARD a care

is kept in this city. This record shows
that Anaconda passed a remarkably
cool month Of June. The thermome-
ter at midday for the month

Picnic lemonade has ever been re-
garded as a very dangerous compound,
but seldom has it proved so horribly
effective ms at the Farmers Alliance
picnic near Wichita, kas. the other
day, when five hundred people clasped
their hands over their stomachs and
moaned aloud in the belief that their
last hour had come. II is alleged that
the lemonade was doctored by friends
Ia the saloon cause who hoped TO give
a practical demonstration of the terri
BILE evils of total abstinence. Re
taliatory measures in the form of sack
ing saloons and original package
houses may now be confidently looked
for, and thus the war of prohibition
in Kansas goes merrily ON.

a writer who has just been visiting
the place, describes Tombstone. Ari-
IONA, in a manner which is suggestive
of nothing SO much as the city's name.
The period of Tombstone's prosperity
lay between 1850 and 1885. Upwards
of ten millions were then invested in
hosting plants and mills, all of which
are now practically idle. The town is
deserted. Rows of fine business blocks
are ~untenanted, and the streets which
were once thronged with animated
multitudes are little better than Gov
pastures. IL is claimed that there are
still phenomenal riches in the mines,
but the ore is under water. Miners
agree that the body of water encoun-
tered in this camp is enormous, and
that il is impracticable to lift it with
silver worth less than S1.l5. Could
that price be reached and maintained,
the ten millions invested in mining
machinery would no longer be ten mil
lions thrown to waste. Perhaps no.
where is the progress of the silver bill
watched with greater interest than in
Tombstone. All its hopes are centered
in the measure. and each alternate ebb
and flow of its fortunes inspires the
mine owners with ecstatic hope or
plunges them in bitter despair.
The lovers of Chauncey NJ. Depew
will rejoice to learn that he has EN-
tirely recovered from the operation on
his nose. Not only have all the func-
tions of the Depew nose been restored
To their normal usefulness without any
impairment to the beauty and sym
metry of the nose itself, but the opera
ton, so the physicians declare, is of
peculiar benefit to the Depew voice,
giving it a wider range and a grander
volume than the range or vol
ume of any other voice in the country.

lie has had considerable trouble with
his nose. Not that il has manifested a
disposition To stick itself where it did
not belong, but ii often proved weak,
inefficient and ut times totally incapa-
BILE of discharging the duties devolying
upon il. This unfortunate condition
vas attributed by Mr.. Depew to a rap
his proboscis received when he was a
boy at the hands of another boy. II is
to be inferred from this statement that
there was "a time when Eel Mr.. Depew
did not practice the precept of using
soft answer as a means of DETECTING the
course of wrath. No similar disaster
has befallen the famous nose of recent
years, however, nor is il likely that
that there will ever be a repetition of
of the catastrophe of Mr.. Depew's
youth unless peradventure a certain
nomination should strike him In lS92.

their charge. All communications which
in the slightest degree reflected on the
prison management were intercepted
and returned to tho prisoner, with a
reprimand, and occasionally saioething
more. So it is not surprising that no
letter was received from the boy during
the period of his incarceration; certainly
none that would cause uneasiness among
friends, If there were any who desired
to aid him.
One day in each month was set apart
for the reception Of visitors, and al
though poor Joe had no friends to call
upon him, he was carefully removed
from the sight of callers in q lonely
cell.
The annual visit of inspection by the
State prison authorities was to be made
to Bloomsbury Jail on the twenty-sixth
of May. Although conversation was
strictly prohibited among the prisoners
this fact leaked out, and Joe hoped much
from it, The unfortunate lad fondly
expected to have fair opportunity of
stating his case to some of the humane
public authorities, who would look into
it and do Justice for justice sake. Judge
of his dismay when informed that dur
ing the time of the visit of inspection
he was to be placed in q remote part of
the institution where he could neither
see nor communicate with the visi ting
inspectors.
Early on the morning set apart for the
inspection the boy was ordered to throw
the loose paving-stones that had been
trimmed by the prisoners from the
gravel walk upon the side of the road
so as to allow the officials carriages free
access through the prison-yard. This
work he was ordered to have completed
at ten o'clock. the visitors being due at
eleven. While engaged in this task a
bright thought occurred to the lad which
he thought it well to put in practice.
Although the keen eyes of the keeper
were upon him he managed in carrying
the stones to place them on the hillside

The man who undertakes to educate u
horse labors under some disadvantages
that do not arise in the education of a
child. A tutor is commonly supposed tc
be the superior of his pupil physically,
mentally and morally, and generally
has the immense advantage of using a
language common to both. The teacher
of the horse knows nothing of his Ian
guage, If he has one, while he has to
deal with an animal far surprising him
in physical power and whose special
senses are all more efficient than his
own. The ear of horse catches sounds
too faint or too distant TO be heard by q
man; his eye enables him to gallop on q
trick that his rider could hardly see on
his hands and knees, or to travel safely
in the darkness of night. His taste and
smell direct him unerringly In the
choice Of herbage or in tho rejection Of
water from contaminated vessel,
while hls sensitive muscle Is the oracle
ae appeals TO as superior - all his other
powerful senses in deciding upon the
hanger or safety OF any isIccted object
