A Conservative Position.

Mark the language. The president
does not say that he will recommend the
enactment of any particular measure,
but merely that he will urge upon con-
gress the appointment of a nonpartisan
commission to investigate the subject
and report what can be done to secure
free and fair elections in the choice of
national officers. In the light of this
moderate, just and conservative position,
how absurd is the Democratic assertion
that the president is nvdly bent on con-
gressional legislation That will take the
control of elections out of the hands of
the states! He shows that the force bill
spook is purely a creature of the Demo-
cratic imagination-a %hobgoblin for
campaign purposes only.-Indianapolis

A RUBBER stamp saying "Return

used by the Bozeman Capital com
mittee to insure the return of uncall-

get stationery that looks decent, and
remove the impression that you live

The Great Strength of a Beetle.

Inc treat SUTeHSth Vi IL Icctics
Mr.. Goose in his World of Won
ders" relates a remarkable story OF
the strength of the beetle, and gives
some ingenious comparisons. A
three horned beetle was brought to
him, and having no box Immediately
at hand he was at a loss where to put
the specimen until he could find time
TO kill and preserve it:
At last a happy thought struck
me. There was a quart bottle OF
milk standing on the table, the bot
tom Of the bottle having q hollow i'll
it large enough to cover my prize.
l set the bottle over the creature and
returned to my work.
Presently, to my great surprise,
the bottle began to move slowly, and
then gradually settled down to a
smooth gliding motion across the
table.
1t was being propelled by the mus
cular power of the imprisoned insect.
The weight Of the bottle and its col
tents could not have been less than
3 1-2 pounds, while the weight of the
beetle was not near a half ounce.
Thus l was watching the strange
sight of a creature moving 112 times
it's own weight under the most dis
advantageous circumstances.
A better idea than figures can con
vey Of this feat may be obtained by
supposing a lad of twelve years to be
imprisoned under the great bell OF
St. Paul's cathedral, London. The
bell weighs six tons. If a boy of the
age mentioned could push within and
cause the bell to glide along the pave
ment his strength would not be equal
in proportion to that of the beetle
under the bottle.

4 Test of Strength.

Tradition has immortalized one
Adargoma, of Grand Canary, who
could wrestle for two consecutive
hours, and having been thrown I'M
dermost in a certain contest got his
antagonist between his legs and arms
and squeezed him so that his bones
began to crack.
The native was subsequently sent
as a prisoner to Spain, where he as
founded the people by his perform
ances. One day in Seville he was
visited by a brawny youth of La
Mancha, who was anxious to try a
bout with him. my good friend,
said Adargoma, las we r going to
wrestle together it is only reasonable
that we should begin by drinking
something
A large bowl of wine having been
brought, he took this in one hand
and continued to address his chal-

place, and Adargoma by degrees
drained the bowl in the coolest man

wine. His one hand was more than
a match for the others two.-Na-

MANY persons had the idea that
Gov. Richards could not speak
That he merely went around apollo
giving for his ever excepting the
nomination. They, we are glad to
note, were ~agreeably surprised. The
words Of that nan here were of the

minus flowers, straightforward and
deep. He showed by his ability to
handle great issues that he is really
and truly a business man OF para

of 1892 insists that American industries

You are ankle deep in such chips
as never come from any other wood
pits, chips from trees that are red
moss agate, and amethyst, and smoky
tops, and agate of every hue. Such
are the marvellous splinters that
cover the ground for miles here,
around the huge PROSTATE trunks
some of them five feet through
from which times patent ak has
bewn them.
Ibroke a specimen from the heart
of a tree there three years ago, which
had around the stone pith a remarka-
bic array of large and exquisite crys-
tails. On one side of the specimen
which is not SO large as my hands
a beautiful mass of crystals of pur-
pie amethyst, and on the other an
equally beautiful array of smoky
topaz.
One can get also magnificent cross
sections of a whole trunk, so thin as
to be portable and showing every
vein and even the bark. There is
not a chip in all those miles which is
not worthy a place, just as it is, in the

know no other rock so splendid.
