RAILROAD RATES SETTLED.

The Fare for tho Round Trip to the Mining
Congress-
The rate that will be charged visitors and
delegates to the second session OF the ma
tional mining congress that meets in Hell
ena. July y, has been definitely fixed.
There was some misunderstanding about
the matter at the recent meeeing of the
Trans Missouri association. but this has
been adjusted and Yesterday General Freight
and Ticket Agent Langley, of the Montana
Central, received telegram from General
Passenger Agent Whitney. Of the Great
Northern, announcing rate OF one fare for
tho round trip to the meeting. OF course
all the rates are made by agreement between
the roads, and the news from the Great
Northern indicates that all the lines in in
terest have made the same liberal conces-
sion. With the chenp fares and the thor
ough arrangements being made for the en-
tertainment of visitors, it only remains to
let the country know all about the congress
to assure large and representative gather
ing at Helena in July.

HELP THE STREET COMMISSIONER.

It is hoped that the citizens of Helens
will cooperate with the street commits
sioner in the way Of street improve
ments. Mr.. Stubbs has taken hold OF
the duties of his department with COM
mendable energy. 1t is his intention to
carry on the work Us rapidly and eco
nomically as possible, and it is believed
that his management OF affairs will be
highly satisfactory. But as far as the
streets are concerned, his work stops at
the curb; he cannot invade private do
main. If sidewalks are to be improved
property owners must do it.
The INDEPENDENT has often referred
to the great necessity of improvement
in this direction at this time. There
are very many walks that are both un-
slightly and unsafe, and while the ma
jority Of these are found on residence
streets, the business thoroughfares are
open to severe criticism. Unless some
thing is done the average convention
visitor will have very good cause for as
tonishment at the disgraceful negli-
gence of our citizens in the matter of
sidewalks. He will think it curious in
deed, that the people Of city SO pro-
gressive in other directions should not
have better regard for the safety of the
common wayfarer.
There is still month left before the
first big convention of the season. Let
every property owner who has pride and
interest in the city make it his business
to place good sidewalk in front of his
DrOperty.

Grafton. When the city warrants sell

THE Wyoming republicans chose two

back any reflections on the state
made during the heat and fire of the

delegates, not alternates, to the Chicago
convention. On the quiet, it would be
a good political play, because all women

y, listen to their tale Of woe
And sad dissatisfaction:
Republicans and Democrats
For they have no attraction.
Neither party's good enough
To suit these modest saints;
Because they can not have the earth
They're loud in their complaints.
The countrY's going to the dogs;
It's on the verge of ruiz;
The people are demoralized,
And dreadful things are brewin.
The workingman Is not hal f paid;
Can't always haYe his way;
Can't have champagne but once week
Should have it every day.
Newspapers all are subsidized,
If not completely muzzled;
Corruption stalks in broad daylight,
And everybody's puzzled.
Pub lie opinions shut up tight;
Cheap labor beats down wages,
And men denied the right to strike
And ride in cushioned stages.
The fruit of toll of honest men
Are taken ''nolens volens'
To build up for q few
In other words-they're stolen.
A vast conspiracy 'gainst mankind
Is quietly underway
To make men take four dollars each
To work eight hours day;
To force them down to eat and drink,
At morn and evening meal,
Beef and pork. and cheese and beer.
And wine-not Golden Seal'
What all these ''sockless'' prophets
want,
The burden of their 'yeIp,"
Is some one else to pay theit debts
That's governmental help;
w ant money loaned at two per cent
On mortgage number two,
And fiat money by the ream
To pay their honest due;
Want silver bars worth seventy cents
Stamped in go rnment mold
To make them worth hundred cents,
So they can trade for gold;
The railroads and the telegraph
And cen the telephone.
Must all be worked by Uncle Sam,
And Uncle Sam alone.
The Peoples party wants all this
These Peffers, Fields and Weayers,
Half-baked, turned down, back numbers

They're simply paid deceivcrs.

For like the buried Greenback craze
It's just Internal rot"

A MAN EATING PLANT.
NATURALIST DUNsTAN SAVES POOR
DOG WHICH WAS CAUGHT.

There has been discovered IN Nj.
carsgus 8 f1esh-eating or rather man
| eating plant. which 8 called by the
nstives the devils snsre.n In form
it Is kind Of vegetable ootopas or
devil feb, and il is able TO draw
blood of any living thing which
comes within It's clutches. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Dunstan. = nstursl-
ist, has lately returned from Central
Anerics, where he spent two years
in the study of plants and animals
OF those regIons. In one of the
swamps which surrounded the
great Nicaragua Lake he discovered
the singular growth.
He was engaged IN bunting for bo-
tanicsl and chronological specimens
when be heard his dog cry ont as il
In agony from 8 distance. Running
to the spot whence the animals
cries came Mr.. Dunstan found him
enveloped IN perfect network OF
what seemed TO he a fine, rOpe-like
tissue of roots and fbres. The plant
or vine seemed composed entirely of
bare interlsclng stems. resembling,
more than anything else. the branch
es of the weeping willow denuded of
Of its foliage, but of a darS, nearly
black hue aud covered with a thick
vscid gum that exuded from tie
pores.
Drawing his knife Mr.. Dunsten
attempted to cut the poor beast free.
bat it was with the very greatest diff
ficulty that he managed TO sever tho
fieshy muscular fibres Of the plant.
Mr.. Dunstan saw to his horror and
amszement that the dogs body was
blood.stained, while the skin appesr-
ed to have been actually sacked or
puckered in spots and the animal
staggered as if from exhaustion. In
cutting the vine the twigs eurled like
sinuous fingers about NJ. Du0stan's 8
hand and it required no slight force
to free the member from its cliuqIng
grasp, which left the flesh red and
bliste.ed.
The gum exuding from the vine
was Of a grayish dark tinge, remark =
ablv adhesive and Of a disagreeab'e
odor, powerful and nauseating to in>
hale. The natives showed the great
est horror of the plant. and recount>
ed to the naturalist many stories of
its Geath-dealing powers. Mr.. Dun>
stan said he was able to discover
very little about the nature Of the
plant owing to the difficulty of hand
ling 1t, for its grasp can only he
shaken off with the loss OF skin and
of even flesh. AS near as he could
ascertain, however, it's power of sue
