MURDER OF W. j. PENROSE

The announcement that the Hon. w.
j. Penrose vas assassinated in Butte
night before last when on his way to his
home, will create a profound sensation
throughout the state. In his capacity
as editor of the Butte Mining journal
Mr.. Penrose was known as a fearless
writer, d%enouncing in pointed language
what he conceived to be wrong in prac-
tice or in principle. and as rearlossly ad-
vocating what he believed to be right.
He did not mince his words or clothe his
language in velvet, or round his periods
to please aesthetic ears. Like the man
himself, his language was plain and
blunt, and. We believe, honestly spoken.
Genial in his nature, courageous j n a
marked degree. Of Strong convictions.
outspo'ien III his expressions. warm in
his friendships ana bittnr il his nnmi-

friends. and. doubtless, many nr,,i"?.
.'uring The past few months he had re-
ceived many threatening letters, to which
he paid but little heed. The writer or
writer's were unknown. but he or they
have accomplished with the bullet what
could not be effected by the anonymous
pcn-forevef silenced the fearless editor
by a most cowardly murder.
Language fails to express the more
than horror with which the dastardly
act is viewed by right thinking men.
If as editor or law-givor he had trans
crossed the law he stood ready to answer
to the law. The w~rongfully aggrieved
had their remedy in the statutes of the
land, and none but a cowardly murderer
would seek redress through the weapon
of the midnight assassin. Our language
is too poor to give a proper name to such
"A wretch and hell too cold to furnish
him ii proper abiding place.
Poor Pcnrosc is gone assassinated in
cold blood, but the miserable coward or
towards who compasscd his death will
answer for it. There is no resting place
upon this earth for such epawns of satan.
The press OF Montana will be quite as
fearless and as o%utsp"kcn in their de-
nunciations of wrong, and as uncon-
cerncd AS to the consequences as though
the martyrcd editor was still alive. And
more than that they will spare no effort
to bring the assassin to the punishment
has cO richly n.rnnl In tbn ,beo,.o
proof to the contrary the TRIBUNE is
compelled to look upon the murder of
the Hon. W. j. Penrose as a dastardly
blow delivered against the freedom of
the press Of Montana, and that editor is
to his trust and to his duty if
he fail to denounce the crime in un-
terms and the criminal as I'M
worthy to live in a free country.

IL a recent interview Mayor Klein
schmidt, of Helena, is reported as saying
that low water mark has been reached in
the prosperity Of that city and that for
the next decade, at least, the tendency
will be upward. The TRIBUNE hopes
the prediction Of the sanguine mayor
may prove true, but if his prediction is
based upon the assumption that Helena
will become the permanent capital of
the state it is las baseless as the fabric
of a vision" Great Falls is a candidate
for that honor with the most hattering
prospects of success at the polls.

In the death Of the Hon. w. j. Pen
rose the Montana Press association has
lost one of it's most fearless, most genial,
and most open-handed members. Warm
in his friendships he secured the admi-
ration, respect, and esteem of his breth-
rem of the craft, who will long keep his
memory green in their hearts. His life
work is ended, but the lessons which his
fidelity to his convictions and his fear
lessness in expressing them taught his
contemporaries of the press will bear
fruit while liberty of speech prevails.

] ETHE aftermath of that baccarat scan
dial trial is not at all pleasing to the ears
of English royalty. The sympathy of
the people seems to be extended to Sir
William while the noble todies smile
eweetly upon the Prince and the Will
sons, but neither of the latter are proud
of the part they took in the trial. The
Queen is displeased and if the truth
were known it would be found the good
old lady had a great deal of sympathy
for Sir William, a little for the Prince
and not any for the Wilson's.

The school authorities of the state of
New Jersey were called upon to settle a
difficulty between teacher and pupil in
which the latter stole a kiss from a girl
and would not acknowledge he had com
mitted a crime nor would he take a whip
ping from the teacher. The boy was
dismissed from school. but the county
and state superintendent remembering
they were once boys, rcinstated him.
This seems to go SOM ways towards es-
tablishing a precedent that boys may oc
casionally steal a kiss from a pretty girl
school mate without mourning the pen

that many of us sought to establish
thirty or forty years ago, but somehow
school officers never took our view of

THAT baccarat scandal trial jury
lacked the backbone of independent
men. The fear Of royalty was too great
for it to overcome and amid the Kissing
of spectators its verdict against Sir
William Cummings was read. This
means the jury believes Sir William
cheated and that the Prince of Wales
was in a bad crowd at Trandy Croft.

The comments of the London press
taken as a whole, upon the verdict in the
b%accarat scandal trial, is not at all com
plimentary to the Prince of Wales nor to
the set in which he moves. The lord
chief justice also comes in for a share of
the poorly concealed adverse criticisms.
1t would appear from the tone of the
English press that the honor of Sir
William Gordon Cumming was not go
much involved in the result Of the trial
as Inc standing of the heir-apparent to
the throne of England. At this distance
looks as though the consideration of
the latter was the only thing that colored
the verdict. 'There's such a divinity
doth hedge a king" that the poor COM
mon mortals who composed the Jury may
be pardoned il they we're afflicted with
strabismus when they viewed
the evidence in the case before them.

LOFTIEST BIT OF ICELAND.
Mountain Which Was Assembled flor the
First Time Last Summey


First Time Last Summer
The highest mountain in Iceland was
assembled last summer for the first time.
The successful mount aineer was Mr.. F. W.
W. Howell, who was encouraged when he
started for Iceland by information from
the Royal Geographical society that the
difficulties in the way of climbing the
Oroefa Jokull were supposed to be insuper-
able, says the New York Sun. The noun
tain is near the southern coast, and it is
an imposing sight from the sea. Mr..
Howell made an attempt in 1890 to climb
the mountain, but was defeated BY the
weather.
On Aug. II he left Sandfell, little set
Element on the coast near the base Of the
mountain, at a. m., when, of course, it
was broad daylight in that latitude. He
was accompanied by two lcelanders as
porters. lie struck the snow slopes at 10
a. NJ, and it took him nine hours and a
half to reach the top Of the mountain,
whose sides are quite steep and covered
with ice and snow.
Though the mountain is the highest in
Iceland, lis elevation is found by Mr..
Howell to be only $3.50 feet. but owing to
the latitude the phenomena of the snow
slopes compare most favorably with those
Of mountains 10000 feet high in Switzer-.
land. Mr.. Howell says the icicle galleries
in the upper crevasses are particularly
fine. This Is undoubtedly one of the most
successful feats of mountain climbing of
the year, for the mountain presents as
many difficulties as any of the Alps, with
one or two exceptions. 1t is com parative-
Iy easy to ascend Mt. Hecla, and this
climb is made every once in a while by one
or more tourists.

Though the stormy clouds lower, be silent our

CHAPTER XII.
ELINOR ROCKFORD.

1t was a morning in August, when gray
mist hung over the earth, a mist that result
ed from the intense heat, and through which
trees, flowers, and fountains loomed family
like shadows. The sun showed his bright
face at intervals, but, though he withheld
his gracious presence, the heat and warmth
were great; the air was laden with perfume,
and the birds were all singing as though they
knew that the sun would soon reappear
One glance at her pupils face showed Miss
Hastings there was not much to be done in
the way of study. Pauline wanted to watch
the mist rise from the hills and trees. She
wanted to see the sunbeams grow bright and
golden.
''Let US read under the lime trees, Miss
Hastings" she said, and Captain Langton
smiled approval For the time was come
when he followed her like her shadow;
when he could not exist out of her presence !;
when his passionate love mastered him, and
brought him, very slave, to her feet; when
the hope of winning her was dearer to him
than life itself: when he would have sacri-
feed even Darrell Court for the hope of cali
ing her his wife.
If she knew of his passion, she made no
sign; she never relaxed from her naughty,
careless Indifference; she never tried in the
least to make herself agreeable to him.
Sir Oswald watched her with keen eyes,
and Miss Hastings trembled lest misfortune
should come upon the girl she was learning
to love SO dearly. She saw and understood
that the barOnet was slowly but surely maxi
ing up his mind; if Pauline married the cap
tain, he would make her his heiress; if not,
she would never inherit Darrell Court.
On this August morning they formed a
pretty group under the shadowy, graceful
lines Miss Hastings held in her hands
some of the line fancy work which delights
ladies: the captain reclined on tiger-skin
rug on the grass. looking very handsome,
for, whatever might be his faults of mind, he
was one of the handsomest men in England.
Pauline, as usual, was beautiful, graceful,
and piquant, wearing plain morning dress
of some gray material-a dress which on any
one else would have looked plain, but which
she had made picturesque and artistic by
dash of scarlet-and pomegranate blossom
in her hair. Her lovely face looked more
than usually noble under the influence of

Sheep are only hardy when they are not
