Across Main Street.

One of the Motors Takes a Flying Trip
Across Main Street.
One of the engines OF the steam motor
line flew across Main street yesterday at a
speed that might lead to the impression
that somebody was trying to lay another
attachment on the concern. In this case,
however, it was an accident, the engine
having gotten beyond control of the man
in charge. 1t is customary, when a motor
train is defending the steep hill on Sixth
venue east of Main street, for the enpineer
to slow up while the conductor runs ahead
to the corner to see if the coast is clear for
crossing Main street. A wave of the con-
ductor's hand is sufficient to start the train
again, and it goes slowly across the princi-
pal t~horoughfare and pulls up IN front of
the office of the line near Gulch street.
Sometimes, when the conductor is not very
nimble, or there is an obstruction likely nj
the crossing, the train comes to a full stop
On coming down the hill yesterday morn
the brakes refused to work or TO hold the
train, and there was no need for the con
ductor to give the signal, nor was there anv
time either. The engine with the car at,
tached flew down the hill like a cyclone. made
the crossing of the electric line tracks in
safety and pulled up some distance from
the office. People who were in the vicinity
stood still and wondered at this remarkable
exhibition Of speed, but fortunately no
body or nothing was i'll the way of the
cowcatcher.

THE STUDY OF POLITICS.

There never was a time when political
questions we're SO carefully studied by
intelligent, thinking men-notably by
young men-as in the United States to-
lay. In Boston last week the demo
cratic clubs of the state had more than
a thousand members out to hear the
Hon. Benton McMillln, of Tennessee,
discuss the issues of the day.
In Cincinnati the present week the
league of republican clubs of the United
States have held a great mass meeting
to prepare for next years campaign.
In Minnesota, in Missouri, in Iowa, in
Washington-all around us-the parties
are organizing, working, educating.
is not right at election time, when party
spirit runs high, but between elections
right now-when people will listen
and think.
The Hendricks Democratic club have
placed the citizens of Montana under
obligations by inviting at this time the
Hon. William L. Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, one Of the ablest members of the
house Of representatives, to deliver an
address on the issues before the coun-
try, at Electric hall tonight. 1t will be
a speech we'll worth hearing, not only
by democrats, but by republicans and
and especially by young men who wish
to hear public questions discussed by a
political student and thinker.
Go and hear Mr.. Wilson tonight.

HE SAT- ON A RAIL.

And the Car Came Along and Cut off
His Tail. t
Wild yells of pain n means of anguish
attracted the attention of people or upper
Main street, near Bridge, yesterday. They
sounded like the wall of a lost soul or the
of a boy who was being
famed with a slipper. It tool less than
two minutes to collect a crowd of a
hundred people about the neighborhood of
the car stables. Then the cause of the
commotion was seen. 1t WAS a poor little
homeless black dog. In his Ignorance of
the ways of street cars, he had ste down
alongside the rail to mediate. His alb
straction was such that he did notice that
his long black tail hung over the iron rail.
thoughts that he did not hear the rumble
of approaching wheels. He felt them a
moment later as they passed over his
tail, fiattening out a section Of it and leav-
ing the end hang uselsssly to the ground.
Round and round he turned as if seeking
something he could not find. At each rev
olution his cries became the louder. His
people who were looking on his sufferings,
as if mutely appealing to them with all the
intelligence of the beast to do something to
relieve him. Finally n man with more
nerve or more sympathy thar the others
ripped out his knife and severed the slen-
der thread of flesh which bound the dog to
the now useless tail. The little fellow gave
a final grateful yelp and ran of to find a
place of refuge where he could reflect on
the dangers which infest the public high
ways and to wonder how he would be re-
ceived among his canine acquaintance
when he appeared without that useful ap-
pendage, a tail.

ENERGY,

The success of the Montana club in
raising in a few hours a sufficient fund
to insure the building of q fine club
house should convey a hint to the peo-
pie of Helena at large as to how they
should proceed to build a city. The
club met with no difficulty because its
members were agreed upon what they
wanted and all pulled together to get it,
The combination of business ability and
capital easily accomplished its purpose
where conflicting interests, individual
s%elfishness and idle chickering's about
non-essentials would have caused fail
ure.
There will be in Helena in a day or
two the president Of one of our great
railway systems. Eastern capitalists
who are largely interested in the devel-
opment of this region will accompany
him. These men do not need to be told
the advantages of Helena's location, of
it's magnificent resources, of its prosper
Gus past and still more promising flu
ture. They know these things now, or
will know them when they. have looked
over the field for themselves.
But our citizens do owe it to them,
selves to show that they are alive to the
advantages that new railroads would
bring to Helena and they should make
this manifest, not only by giving the Wis
itors a hearty welcome, but by getting
down to a basis where they can talk
business. We want the Burlington roac
to come to Helena, We believe The
Burlington people van to come to Hell
ena. Let our citizens organize N this
matter, and at one Let a strong com
mittee of our representative capitalists
and business men be selected to confe
with the visitors and convince then
that we are a w~ide-awake and rogre
sive community, ready to extend a hane
to every new enterprise, and alive to tn
greatness of our own future.
Form your committee to-day, gentle
men, and get to work for a new railroad
There is nc time to be lost.

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 Go. All at once you enter a store
see some article which pleases your taste, as a good
dresser it takes something "EXTREME' 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 GEN
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 /? 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

AN HISTORIC CARRIAGE.
IL Has Borne Abraham Lincoln
and Other Wen OF History.

Forty-seven years ago June % band
OF masked men suddenly emerged from
a strip of timber west OF Carthage, Ill,
and crept steaithily along an old rail
fence until they came within few
hundred yards OF the old stone Jail
wherein the Mormon prophets, Joseph
ana Hyrum Smith, were lodged. The
mob stormed the jail and put the proph-
cts To death. That day made Carthage
historic Mormondom will never
forget the event, and each amir
versary their people think bitter
ly of the Gentiles in Hancock
county. Although nearly half a
century has passed since the murder,
interest in the scenes of those has not
died out. Strangers come long dis
tances To view the old Jail, now a pri-
waite residence, and TO gaze upon the
wreck OF the old Hamilton hotel where
the bodies OF the slain were cared for
by brave old Artois Hamilton.
Out in yellow wheat field that
skirts Carthage stands the wreck of a
carriage that in its day was n
marvel of beauty and conven-
fence. The elements have wrought
havoc with II, and ere long some en-
terprising lad will have appropriated
the olu IRON parts Win Wnlcn bo raise
money for the circus. The old hack is
now the property OF John ID. Stevens,
who has no idea how long the vehicle
has been In Carthage. Old Artois Ham
ilton used IL in connection with his
hotel, driving Strangers from one point
in the country 10 another as early ms
1923. Joseph Smith, while on some
of his PROSECUTING tours, was a passen-
ger In IL. SO was stephen A. Douglas.
Abraham Lincoln went TO Carthage
once 10 defend n man called Will
lam Fraime, charged with murder. A
railroad ran within ten or fifteen
miles Of Carthage then, and the old
hack made regular trips for the con
veniencc OF passengers. The sad-faced,
kindly lawyer was passenger on this
occasion. His stay was brief. The
case had been brought from Schuyler

Finally, we have the deep orange and
red stars like Aldebaran and Antares.
These have advanced still further in
the cooling process.
Now the spectr,scope informs rs that
our sun belongs 10 the orange or Arc
turus type, and II we could view IL
from distant space, we should see a
lovely star of a pale golden yellow.
The question arises, then. how far
would our sun have Co be removed In
order 20 shine with brightness no
greater than that of Arcturus? Accord
ing TO Mr.. Maunder. IL would have To
be removed 70 10000 times it's present
distance. or about half the distance be-
tween Us and Alpha Centanrl.
But Arcturus is eleven and one-half
million times as far away as the sun,
and IL our sun was placed at that enor-
nous distance, its diameter would
have TO bee ~ times as great in order TO
have light equal To that received from
Arcturus | hesitate TO present such
figures, implying magnitudes far be-
yond any TO which we have been accus-
toned, yet they are but logical deduc-
tions of observed facts In other
words, upon Mr.. Maunder's reasonable
assumption, Arcturus must be a gigan-
tic sphere, $50, 600 times larger than our
sun. with diameter of seventy million
miles. or more than large enough TO
fill the entire orbit of Mercury
To make this contrast clearer. let MS
institute n simple comparison. Jupiter
is larger than all the other planets and
satellites of the solar system. The sun
is little more than 900 times larger
than Jupiter. But Arcturus, IL our in
ference is correct, Is $50, 900 times
larger than the sun. BY the side of
such majestic orb, our sun, grand and
overwhelming AS he is in our own sys-
tenn, would dwindle TO an Insignificant
star.
Contemplating world 80 vast, en-
dowed with such mighty energies, and
rushing with such resistless force
through the great deeps of space, we
cannot resist the questions: Whence
came this blazing world? Whittier is
