Montana Potatoes.

The New York Sun OF recent date
has the following account of some ia
nous tubers grown near Great Falls:
"a Montana potato raiser has sent
here n barrel of Montana potatoes,
Just to give New Workers an idea OF
the kind of potatoes raised in Mon
tana.' Truly, these Montana pota-
toes are interesting to potato eaters.
In the first place, they are very big,
many, OF them weighing two pounds
and some of them more. In the sec
ond place, they are said to be more
succulent than the potatoes raised i'm
othheE p parts saa Qt a The 5 vY9rl4o utfh4ERahIy
fourthly, they are of an agreeable
tate, and finally they can be cooked
in a variety OF ways. The MontanianS
brag of their big potatoes, as they do
OF some OF the other products of the
exubsrant soil of Montana; and it Is
not surprising that the Montana po-
tato raisers look forward confidently
to the time when they will stand first
and foremost in the American potato
market. Well, send along your Mon
tana potatoes, if they really possess
all the merits that are ascrIbed to
them by the Montanians.

Sherman and Party Unity.

New York Tribune: The Ohio con-
vention has done good work. Rivalry
of leaders was put aside to perfect a
harmonious union, which will make
the party irresistible. Senator Sher.
man, so long the honored and trusted
leader and representative OF the party
in the cabinet and the senate, set q
noble example in refusing to permit
any effort toward his reelection to
cause the slightest discord in a con
vention for the nomination of Stat,
officers, and subsequently added tc
this service by a speech OF character
istic cogency.

Some Bison Left Yet.

Dick Rock of Henry's Lake,who was
in the city recently, explodes the idea
so frequently published of late, to the
effect that the buffalo OF the plains
and bison of the mountains have all
been killed of. Dick killed one large
buffalo in Idaho last fall. The Courier
has always maintained that there
were bison yet in the National Park,
and Mr.. Rock, who is among the best
posted hunters in the west, confirms
our belief by stating emphatically that
he knows OF one band which has not
been out OF the Park for several years

The stingiest man in Georgia lives in
Wilcox county. He has been married
eleven years and during that time has
only bought one sack of -four and one
75-cent calico dress. He lives at home
and the spinning wheel is still at work
in his house. 1t is all right if a man
wants to live this way, but to put a
woman where she can't talk about the
styles and never knows the pleasure oi
wearing a new hat is too cruel.-Ro'

Mrs. Campbell and Major Mckinley.

Ohio State Journal: 1t is said that
at the dinner table last evening Mrs.
Governor Campbell, with a merry
twinkle OF her eye, addressed her hon.
ored lord thusly: Jimmy, it would
greatly please me to ride out this even
ing with the next governor of Ohio"
A puzzled look spread over the face OF
master OF the executive mansion, and
in a Misunderstanding way the governor
replied: swell, dear, your request is
rather ambiguous. You know | may
not be-but | have the idea now. I'll
ride with you to the Neil House, where
you can get Major Mckinley. Between
the two you can not miss riding with
Ohio's next governor"
The scene changes to the crowded
street in front of the Neil. Mrs. Camp
bell Is sitting composedly in the elegant
family carriage, refreshing herself with
n handsome, large, black, feather fan.
She is attractively dressed in thin,
dark dress, relieved by q light colored
bonnet. OF course she is admired by
passers and the climax is reached a
moment later when Governor Camp
bell appears with Major Mckinley
leaning on his arm. Major Mckinley
bows very gracefully to the first lady
OF the state and shakes her hand
heartily. The next governor of Ohio
takes his seat by the present COVER
nor's wife, and as the colored coach.
man is turning the lovely span OF seal
browns, the present governor is heard
to remark to his wife, who is seated by
much confidence | have in MAJOR Nd
Kinley to let you take him riding"
The distinguished chaperon and heI
guest drive north amid ripple of ap.
plause from the admiring populace;
the governor drops out OF sight in the
surging crowd and the curtain drops
on one of the pleasing events OF the
convention.

BY AUNT BESSIE.
A hero thou-in storm and battle,
Called from homely life;
Strong of soul and true of purpose
Steady midst the strife.
On thy hand the Nation trusted
Trusted net in vain.
In our hearts that name is written
Without blot or stain.
All their debt in hour of peril
Men will not forget.
In that shrouded form before them
Lives thy memory yet.
Then came forth little maiden,
Drew the veil aslant.
Aud henceforth in song and story
Linked her name with Grant.

tremely heavy business it retired to 70g<. At
the same time Northern Pacific preferred and
Union Pacific were forced of ! Is per cent each,
and the rest of the list from 4 to 70 per
cent. The market however, recovered
soon brought up beyond the level Of first
prices, but later attack sent the weak shares
down to still lower hgures and the general list
sympathized closely. The talk Of the passing
OF the dividend on the Missouri hcifc was the
principal inducement for the attack. The Gould
stocks, the Wizards and the grangers were prac-
tically the whole market this morning and the
trading In them was very large. but moderate
in the general list. The market at IL o clock
was active and weak at the lowest prices

His pulse was felt 500: times or thereabout
