The senate committee on elections
at Washington has recommended
that the republican senator's from
Montana be seated. 1t is expected
that this will bring up long debate
in the senate before a final vote is
taken. The grounds upon which
the majority of the committee will
take its stand for its recommendation
is that the republican house of Mon
tana was the legal house, as its mem
bers held the certificates Of election
from the election officers and was
recognized as the legal house by the
state senate.

I see the new tariff bill imposes duty

from Canada, Scotland and ether coun-

farmer friends can get the free trade
scales off their eyes long enough to
catch glimpe of the benefit that would
arise from having this 81 million dollars
that this country annually sends abroad
for the one item Of eggs, distributed
among our Dakota farmers in payment

on the witness stand, Commissioner
Lyman was the only sufferer, but Shidy
made 1t plain that all three of then. are
in the same boat and;now the popular

English Pure and Undecided.

Quite at random I make up list OF
articles to which the English assign
names different from those we use.
That which we call bowl is here
known as a basin. In England you
ask for basin of bread and milk.
That which is known to US as a
pitcher is here called jug.
A donkey is here called moke; in
America moke is a negro. Local
slang for cab horse is cats meat, y
because the meat of horses is peddled
around the streets for feeding to cats.
By the way, British cats average much
larger than our American cats, and
they are notorious chicken killers.
The brindle cat seems to be the COM
monest.
What is here known as hash we
should call stew, and what we call q
hash is here known as mince.

Unhealthy Occupations.

The ancient man or woman who
pounded wheat between two stones
knew nothing of the trouble that was
in store for the miller of today. Mans
breathing apparatus was made to uti-
lie pure air, charged with q minimum
of dust. When man lives in an at
mosphere in which flour dust floats
about in large quantities therei is bound
to be some part Of his organization get
clogged up While workers in acid
works are liable to have their teeth
soften, and they wear away in year
Or two if not protected, artisans in mills
where metallic dust is in the air are
very apt to engender diseases that will
be chronic, if not speedily fatal.
The miller is generally an unhealthy
individual, unless he be of the old time
sort, who used TO ride about the coun-
try during three parts of his working
hours and spend only little time within
reach of the dust from his mill stones
1t is not to be supposed that man will
ever be able to get along without the
miller. Such being the case, it Is to be
hoped that something more will be done
in the near future to protect his lungs
while at his work than has been accom-
plished hitherto.-Hall's Journal Of

opinion is expressed that il it were gen.

ic headache, of inability to learn or per
form mental work, were due to chronic
diseases Of the nose many of these
would be easily cured, and the number
Of child victims of the SO called over

held on in suspense while the excited
crowd below tried to devise some means

arrival the boy was seized by the legs
and pulled into q window below thai
