Russell Harrison Talks.

Chicago special, May 80: Russell
Harrison was here to-day. The pros
poets of the Republican party in the
campaign OF the next presidential year
were being discussed when Russell de-
clared: president Harrison won't be
a candidate in 1892"
whats that !" spoke up one of the
listeners.
81 said that my father would not be
a candidate for reelection unless the
party demands it. Should the Repub-
lican leaders insist upon it, then he will
allow his name to go before the con-
yention, but not under any other cir
cumstances. He certainly would not
be a candidate if he consulted only his
family. Personally he had rather
retire to private life but as an ardent
party man, he is willing to observe the
wishes of the majority. The life OF the
president is not the happiest one. The
president can't sail about with golden
wings. He is so busy with the affairs
of the nation that he sees very little
of his family. Then he cannot even
take a walk without being waylaid by
office seekers. In many respects it is
a very disagreeable existence, and
know that my father would much
prefer private life"
"Is Blaine working against the presi
dent ?" was asked.
Contrary to some of the report:
the president and secretary are on tn,
best of terms. Their relations ar,
exceedingly pleasant"
Il Asked about the statement in Franl
Leslie's Illustrated, that Blaine woult
not be a candidate, Mr.. Harrison said
81 first read that article while in Cali
fornia on the presidential trip. 1t wa

MAIDEN LOCALS.

Miss Jewel Anderson, of Ft. Maginnis,
was visiting with Mrs. OFT Anderson last
Friday and Saturday.
Mr.. A. NJ. Thompson, our worthy post
master, left last week for the scenes of his
childhood in Illinois. Andy will return in
lew weeks, but not alone.
The Spotted Horse mill has a new CORFU
gated iron roof and is expected to start at
almost any hour. There is quite a number
OF idle men patiently waiting employment.
Mr.. James Murphy, an old time pros
pector OF this place, who has been absent
for the past year, returned a few days ago.
Jimmie has been in Castle and numerous
western mining camps and is convinced
that the Judith mountains contain the
best prospects for permanent camp Of
any he has visited
j. F. Arnold, James Reed and Charlie
Archer, trio of the old guard, came i'm
from the North Moecasin last Sunday.
They brought in some fine samples OF ore
from that district to be assayed and were
receiving the congratulations oftheir many
friends of this place, who are only too glad
to learn OF their successful adventures.
Those are the men whose names will for
| ever remain on the pages of our history as
the preservers OF our Union. May their
shadows never grow less.
| Charlie Rhodes and o. Anderson struck a
large body of ore last week in the Northern
Pacific. There has been moro prospecting
done in this camp the past season than n
great many outsiders are aware of. Among
the ore producers may be mentioned In
this vicinity, the Cave, Bertha, She, North
ern Pacific Key Stone, Comet, Bamboo
Chief, Chicago, Silver Glance, Kentucky; in
| the North Moccasin, the j. T., Columbia
and Eagle Eye. All OF these mines are
| owned by energetic and industrious men
who would encourage a smelter at a great
sacrifice to themselves. Let us hear from
the mining world: let men with brains and
money come and see us; let men who have
the energy to place their dollars on their
own judgment look at the inducements Of
fsrsd and we do not hesitate to say that in
a very short period OF time, Fergus county
will be second to none in the state. Give
us a railroad and we will give you a reve-
nue. Our mines will be developed; our
/. farmers will improve their ranches; our log
cabins will give way to handsome cottages,
and almost every square foot OF land in
Fergus county will be utilized, and peace
; and prosperity will crown our success.

LOOK HIGHER.
to the Quarreling clergymen Of
New York.

And is there no way that is better
To help the sad world in it's needs,
Than this? to fight over the letter.
Forgetting the spirit Of creeds?
Whatever the cause or the reason
You hold for this strife, in the end
Your quarrels can only be treason
To Christ, whom you claim to defend.
The man OF the crude Middle Ages
Has grown into something too high
To feed his starved soul on dull pages
OF dogmas, as useless dry.
The thought of the world is upreaching.
Go. lay your cold creeds on the shelves'
Away with your technical teaching,
And show us the Christ in ourselves,
Rise out OF old ruts with their hollow
And fear laden faiths. Mount above
Where the world is already to follow,
Aud seek the religion of love.
As sure the stars on their courses
We circle toward Truth and the Right,
We are part OF the Infinite Forces
Our faces are turned to the light.
We cannot plod on in dark byways
That limit the sight of the soul,
Our spirits soar up to the highways
We see are part OF the whole.
We know that mans creed does not
matter,
So long as his deeds speak OF Oou-
So long as his aim is to scatter
The seeds OF right living abroad.
How can we look up 10 our teachers,
Unless they higher than we?
Come up, then, We priests md ye preachers,
Come upon Truths hilltop, and see
How haggard the creeds you are vaunting,
When viewed from the mountains above
And how all that the sad earth is wanting
Is the sweet selfiess lesson OF Love.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

False Teeth Which Will Grow.

Chicago Mail: A dentist of Moscow
is reported to have discovered a meth
cd of supplying the human mouth with
false teeth which will grow into the
gums as firmly as natural ones. DIR.
Znamensky has performed several sue
cessful operations on dogs as well as
human beings. The teeth are made of
gutta percha, porcelain or metal.
Holes are made at the root of the
false tooth and also upward into the
Jaw. The tooth is then placed into
the cavity. In a short time a soft
granulated growth finds its way from
the patients jaw into the holes in the
tooth. Thisgrowth gradually hardens
and holds the tooth in position.

The First Rebel Yell.

W. W. Page, in the Century: ! was
on the college campus at Hampden-
Sydney, Virginia, in May, 1851, with
a number of the students at play, when
President Atkinson, who had just re-
turned from Farmville, rode up and
said: "Young gentlemen, Northern
troops have crossed the Potomac into
Virginia at Alexandria. Ellsworth
Zouaves tore down the Virginian flag
on Jackson's hotel. Jackson shot
Ellsworth and the Zouaves killed
jackson. The war has begun" The
boys raised and heard for the first
time the .'rebel yell" twas arranged
that afternoon that the students oi
the college and theological seminary
should form a company, with DIR. At
kinson as captain.
No one who was there can ever for
get the fiery enthusiasm of those boys
and the girls on College Hill, for The
girls were worse than the boys. Wo'
to the boy who did not thirst to di'
on the bloody field! Little chance h'
would have stood with one of thos'
girls

Montana Woods.

Montana old woods are out of the
market. The value for the new will
depend upon it's condition. Bright,
clean, light, open woods are preferred
at high price over the heavy, sandy,
earthly, short stapled woods at n low
price. We see no reason to expect
Montana woods to bring any less
money than last year if in the same
condition as last year. If the woods
are cleaner and brighter they will
bring more, but if they are heavier
and dirtier, they will bring less than
was obtained for the clip OF 1890.
Growers having light, open, snowy
woods should ship as that kind always
sells above the average price in this
where each clip is sold on its
own merits-Justice, Bateman Il Co.'S

Will the Hitching Strap Break.

New York Herald: Not a clergyman
in New York has put the case of DIR.
Briggs more tersely or succlnctly than
the Rev. DIR. Parkhurst, who said last
Sunday: "To tie us to the sixteenth
century is an attempt to drive the
Presbyterian buggy with hitched
horse"
To the merely secular mind, which is
not always to be trusted, however, in
religious matters, there seems to be
two classes of men among the Presby-
terians those who think that we
have learned something during the
last two hundred years and those who
think we have not. This makes the
present situation very interesting.

The deepest mine in the district at
the present date is the Lexington, the
bottom OF whose shaft IS approaching
a depth of l, 900 feet from the surface.
Altogether five mines have reached or
exceeded 1000 feet in depth, and
twenty-eight are over 800 feet. These
figures will give fair idea OF the ex-
tent of the development of the leads.
