Pretty SMALL BUSINESS.

\ good many people will think that
the management of the Northern
Pacific railroad took particular pains
to do a mean thing in a contemplate
way when IL tore up ten miles of tele-
graph line between Bonita and Wal
lace. This is part of the extension
which the Rocky Mountain Telegraph
company is building to Missoula. Ac-
cording TO all accounts, some of this
line was within the two hundred-foo
limit controlled by the railroad. The
management of the telegraph company
asserts, however, that this trespass oc-
curs mt points only where. in stretching
the line through narrow canyons. il
was found impossible To keep outside
of the limit. In any ease il the road
has discovered an infringement, il
could well afford TO serve notice To that
effect on the telegraph company. AS
il is, the line was torn down without
notice. but with evident intention To
make the removal as destructive rs pos
sible to the poles and wires. The
STANDARD learns on excellent author
ity that there is serious question
whether the railroad company al de-
fend its conduct. Bnt if il has every
page of the law books ON its side, the
proceeding was contemptibly mean.
IL the people of Montana We're to ap.
ply to the Northern Pacific the rule
il adopts toward others, there would
not be to-day any two consecutive rails
spiked to its ties within the boundaries
of this state.

EPISODE OF THE HAT

How ~ Pretty Woman Won "a Vote of
Thanks In - Philadelphia Theater.
A stately and handsome example of the
well-bred young lady attended a theatri.
cal first night last week and occupied,
with her escort, seats i'm the third row of
the orchestra, says the Philadelphia Press.
She was so fair to look upon that a large
share Of thea audience watched her as she
went down the aisle and settled grace
fully In a chair.
II was her observed, with much inter
est, that she raised her arms and de-
tached from her head the fashionable hat
that become her SO well. Her hair was
bright golden, and under the radiant
lights il fairly flashed in its beauty.
The old gentleman sitting behind her
settled back comfortably i'm his chair and
congratulated himself that he had beer
placed behind such n thoughtful creature,
Tor now he could not only see the stage,
but a splendid head of air as well.
Presently two or three young women in
the immediate vicinity quietly removed
their hats, having noted the admiration
that the originator of the scheme had ex-
cited.
From this the movement spread unit
hatlcss feminine heads were ~discoverable
all over the theatre, even To the ear rows
of the circle. Between the acts a paper
began to- circulate about among the pco-
Pile occupying the orchestra.
Each gentleman, as he received il, read
something that had been written on il,
and hen smilingly signed his name, after
which he passed IL to his immediate neigh
Dor.
In q few moments the paper came back
TO the old gentleman that had started II
on its travels. Bending forward he POI
litely addressed the golden haired girl.
handing to her at the same time the
paper. She read il, and as she did
so a deep blush and n smile crept
over her face. The paper was n vote
of thanks. signed by thirty or more
of the male spectators. Its ext was as
follows:
ave, the undersigned, desire 10 express
our respectful admiration for n most
beautiful and c~onsiderate young lady,
name not known, who, by removing her
hat from her bright, golden head, has
set the fashion for others, thereby rem.
dering il possible for a delightful au-
dienee to witness the details of a stage
performance"
The pretty girl cast n radiant smile over
her shoulder at the old gentleman be.
hind, and folding the paper. tucked il
into the front Of her dress by the side of a
bunch of pansies. And everybody was
very happy.

THEY WENT FOR HIM.

Speaker Reed will live to be a very
old mar il he lives long enough TO for
get what happened to him yesterday.
lie was soundly thrashed in a house
that has a republican majority, he tried
his bulldozing methods ono too often.
This mornings interesting dispatches
from Washington tell the whole story
how the speaker tried to juggle with
the house journal, how he iloundered
in trying to explain, how he announced
a crooked count, and how republicans,
prompted by a sense of fairness and
decency, went squarely back on him.
IL was a bad day and a bad track for
Reed. But that he SO richly merits
humiliating punishment, even a demo
crat might pity the man in the speak
er's chair, whose experience of yester-
day is without a parallel.
While he held the floor, Mr.. Mills
showed that the speaker and his party
are resorting 10 every ruse In order to
hurt silver. OF course, there was no
news In all this, since the republicans
i'm the house and several of them in the
senate went ~squarely on record against
silver. But whatever the speech lacked
i'm news was made good by the elo-
auence with which Mr.. Mills presented
a notorious fact. That Speaker Reed
should have lost control of his party in
the house is not so very remarkable.
The democrats are under excellent
leadership, and a good many repub-
licans are heartily sick of the speakers
methods.
II the republicans could be induced
TO nominate Reed for president, what a
lesson the democrats of this country
would teach him and his party.

A Moving Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at the
cascades of the Columbia. II is a triple
peaked mass Of dark brown basalt, six or
eight miles i'm length where il fronts the
river, and rises to a height of almost 1900
feel above the water.
That il is In motion is the last thought
which would he likely to suggest itself to
any one passing IL, yet il is a well-cstab-
lished fact that this entire mountain is
moving slowly hut steadily down the
river, as il IL had IA deliberate purpose
some time in the future to dam the Co
lumbia and form a great lake from the
cascades To the dalles. The Indian tradi-
tons indicate immense movements OF the
mountains bereabouts, long before white
men came To Oregon, and the early set

In its forward aud downward move

ridge have become submerged in the
river. Large tree stubs can be seer stand

railway engineers and tho trackmen find
tina the line OF the railroad which skirts

being forced out of place. Al certain
points the road-bcd and rails have been

course of a few years.

BOHEMIAN AND THE REST.

Butte and BoZeman are cementing a
friendship which will endure because
that is the normal relation which the
two towns should sustain to each other.
The new railroad links these two
towns between which, If the right thing
had been done, intimate traffic rela-
tions would have been established years
ago.. Neither of them fully realized
how close these relations are until the
Homestake branch was built. Now
that the two neighbors have exchanged
formal calls, we may expect the nc.
quaintance to ripen into enduring
friendship.
BOzeman did the most natural thing
in the world when it brought to the at
tention of Butte the scheme for a rail
road To Castle. Butte could help the
scheme and IL can well afford to exert
itself in any direction the Bozeman
people may suggest. The proposed
new line to castle is the one which Hell
ena is seeking to secure for herself. AS
we understand the case, however, the
gentlemen who are active i'm this move
ment have no thought that the road
will ever be brought direct to Helena,
their plan contemplating nothing more
than a line from Castle to Townsend, a
line which is feasible although more
expensive than the route to Bozeman
and one which, according TO the testi-
mony of people who understand the
situation, il would be outright folly to
bring as far as Helena.
Meanwhile Bozeman and Butte, il
they make common cause in the Castle
railroad business, will find il wise to
keep an eye on Livingston. That town
has a large ambition backed by re-
markably good inducements i'm the
smelling line. II wants the road to
Castle and has offered to pay for the
right of way. If Livingston's eXpecta-
tions regarding the Cooke City road are
realized, il will boldly claim to be the
best point in Montana for smelling
operations, and il would take the testi-
mony of an expert to disprove the claim.

The reference TO the coinagecommit-
tee placed the bill in the hands of Chair
man Conger and that arrangement
suited the speaker, because. in that
shape, he could control its future dis
position. Accordingly il was proposed
TO choke of Mr.. Mills 10y means of a
motion that. under the previous ques-
ton, the journal be approved. The
thing didn't work. The plan was voted
down by the help of republicans who
added their voices To those of all the
democrats In the house. Then there
was an opportunity for discussion and
il was not lost by the democrats. Mr..
Springer gave the speaker a dig or two,
while Mr.. Mills, in digniiied comment
on what had happened. showed that
the journal is kept by the house and
not by the speaker o. his clerks.
