Reed would not do.

"MAGtNNIs casts IN anchor to wind.
ward, OF course, and Blaine is the Mon
tana mans choice" Such is the glitter
ing headline that appears in the New
York Times over an interview with the
gentleman who for twelve years repre-
scented Montana as a democratic dele
gate IN congress-. OF course tho head
line artist dla not know what he was
talking about, and took Maj. Maginnis'
statement that Blaine was the natural
choice of the Montana republicans as
evidence that the Major was also a
Blaine man. The interview on which
the crazy headlines we're built was as
follows:
The SHOWS and rains which we have had
in Montana this spring will make a great
difference in the mining operations of the
state" Martin Maginnis, of Montana, said
to q Times reporter Wedne sday, Mt the
Fifth Avenue hotel. 'For the last two or
three years there has been little rain in our
part of the country. and in the placer min
ing this makes a great difference. With a
heavy deposit of snow on the mountains the
placer streams will be supplied until
August or September, thus giving a season
OF four to six months. The outlook has not
been so favorable for several years
How can the republican party hope to
pull itself together again and win with the
present Farmers alliance splity' Mr.. Ma
ginnis asked, and then he answered his own
question thus: perhaps they can do it
with Blaine. That seems to me the only
way they can hope to do it. His reciproc-
ity ideas may be the connecting link be
tween the republicans and the alliance. 1t
looks as if Blaine would be the candidate.
There has been q boom started for him at
the meeting of republican clubs in Cincin-
matt, and ho is immensely popular with re-
publlcans all through the west. If he is
pledged to support Harrison, that might
prevent his acceptance of the nomination,
but I see nothing else to prevent him from
being the candidate.
"The future political complexion of Mon
tana is somewhat doubtful. Strong efforts
will be made to retain it in the list of dem
ocratic states. 1t is too early to say who is
the party choice for president. This demo-

Chairman S%tickney, of the Chicago, st.

Most people are fond of "ex-tremes." Those
who have never given the matter any thought may
consider this a remarkable statement, but let them
reflect Just a little and they will sustain our asser-
ton. Say for instance, your appetite is not as good
as it should be; you resort to relishes, and you
want them either extremely sour or very sweet,
very salty, or very spicy. 1t is with your other
wants just as it is with your appetite. You have
all the clothes you need, you can make this do and
can make that DO. All at once you enter a store
see some article which pleases your taste, as a good
dresser it takes something sEXTREME" to allure
you to buy. We show "EXTREMES" in all
departments of our large store. No matter how
much your purse permits you to pay for a thing,
you want the latest something different from what
your %neighbor is wearing, if possible, something
extremely stylish. We show not only "EX-
TREMES,' as just stated, but immense varieties
of new and tasty wearing apparel for men, boys
and children. Have you ever seen those "Extreme''
styles in mems suits ? And those "Extremes" in
children's suits F? Our shoe department is replete
with all the best markets produce. Prices in all
our departments low enough to enable everybody
to purchase. If we have fitted you out already
this season, call again.

Prospector Oliver Hackensack
Packer, assayer and mining engineer
from Pyramid went out to Gold Hin
Saturday to inspect some mining
properties.
The LIBERAL saw some smclter re-
turns this week made out in the usual
form on which the shipper was charg-
ed with a ten, per cent loss in smelling.
He figured out the returns and found
that the loss in smelling only applied
to silver, there was no loss of gold.
The shipper as well as the LIBERAL
would like to have some person who is
well posted on the smelling business
explain how in smelling ore which
carries gold and silver the smelter can
save all the gold and only 90 per cent
Of the silver.
While a. APPLICABLE was over in the
C|hiricahuas recently on a prospecting
trip some person, who evidently, was
eitherhard up or inclined to steal, got
away with the collar around one of
the shafts of the Chlidema company's
mines. Mr.. Applegate says the value
of the lumber stolen,w was small but the
trouble of replacing it is considerable.
He thinksh he has the thiefspotted and
intends to make him toe the mark.
All thieves are %nuisances but such a
petty thief as this one is simply con-
temptible.
