SHELBY Eli BILLIARD announces
that the Montana Moderator will
soon appear at Red Lodge, a spicy
product of his fertile thought and
forceful verbosity, but it will be
democratic. A pity that such a rec
ognized power should be found COM
muning with the forces of darkness
and iniquity.

Origin of Mavericks.

Some years ago a man named
Maverick located near Austin, Texas
and went into the stock business.
He had considerable money and
stocked a large ranch mostly with
cattle. He was what might be term
ed a progressive man, but his ideas
of progress were not suitable to his
surroundings. For instance, he con-
cluded hat branding cattle was use-
less, in fact barbarous, and he deter
mined that the red-hOt iron should
never again be pressed against the
side of an animal belonging to him.
He kept his word but he did not
keep his cattle. This was "A regular
picnic for the cowboys of that locality
who, of all things, could never be
accused of being at all scrupulous on
questions of honor, especially when
there was a steer involved in the
case. Well, the cowboys picked up
Mavericks cattle whenever they
could find them, and it was not very
long before every hoof Of them was
gone and he was reduced to poverty.
Ever since that every unbranded
head of cattle over six months of age
has been called a maverick and is
regarded by the cowboys as the
property of him who first finds it and
sticks his brand on it.-Great West.

MANY men of many minds are to-
day scanning the political horizon for
the purpose of selecting true and
trusted men whose names they can
place before the public with the hope
Of winning a victory. We are not
clawing peanuts for any party just
at present but say what we think and

end devoutly sought, so far as coun-

the coming campaign will be seven

TO the fact that there was no more

into vivid reality by the powerful

Omaha convention. Subsequently it
became a constant reference by elo-

Telling tho Time of Night by the Clipper"
A fairly reliable time indicator, 1t
is stated, can be found in the north
ern skies on every cloudless night.
AS is generally known, the group OF
fixed stars called the clipper makes
an apparent revolution around the
north star in every twenty-four
hours, with the two stars forming
the outer elevation Of the bowl OF
the dipper pointing nearly directly
to the polar star continuously; IT,
therefore, the position of the point
ers'' is taken at any given hour, say
6 o'clock in the evening in winter
time, and as soon as it is dark in the
summer, the hours can thereafter be
pretty accurately measured by the
eye during the night.
Frequent observations of position
will have to be made at the given
hour, as, owing to the constant
changing of the earth's position III
space. the position of the pointers
in relation to ones point Of Observa
ton and the star also change. In
this way observations taken during
a year and impressed on the mine
make a very fair time Indicator OF
that part Of celestial space.-Nev

INGENIOUS SNUGGLHRS.
Another Seizure of Opium on
the Oregon.
1T WAS FOR CHINATOWN.
Over Six Hundred Tins Found Concealed in
Fourteen Barrels Of salmol-Colleotor
Phelps Morslizes.

The seizure OF five cases, manifested as
pIaying-ca by the customs inspectors
on Wednesday morning, which were found
to contain l640 tins of opium. aroused sus-
picion that the Oregon had brought more of
the smuggled article with her from Port
land.
Collector Phelps instructed Inspectors
Moves and Patterson TO watch the freight
carefully. Several barrels of salmon at
tracted the particular attention of the in
spectors and as they had not been claimed
Yesterday one OF them was opened. Their
search was soon rewarded with success
The salmon was carefully packed on the
top, bottom and sides of the barrel, and in
the center number of tins OF opium was
disclosed 10 view.
There were altogether five barrels and
nine half barrels all marked 'C' in dia-
mond, Honolulu" They were removed
to the Appraisers building and opened.
Each contained Its supply Of opium, and
about 600 tins made up the sum total.
This second seizure created such an ex-
element that nobody could tell yesterday
afternoon the exact number Of tins seized.
Collector Phelps thought 1t was about 1000,
While the Deputy Appraiser gave 1T as be-
tween 500 anu 6U0. They had not been
carefully counted. but were under lock and
key, aud the exact number would be asSer-
tanned to-day. Assuming it to be Geo. the
value would be about $1,000. which, added
10 the value Of the quantity selZ d on
Wednesday, would represent total Of
S22 400 in the two seizures.
This second lot was apparently not con-
signed TO the same parties as The first lot,
and how ii reached Portland is, OF course,
mystery.
Collector Phelps Immediately sent Moves
and Patterson on another hunt, and he ex-
peets that by this morning they will be in
position 10 report further seizures
The Collector was IN a reflective mood
while speaking of the seizure TO reporter

CHURCHMEN FOR ELLERT.

How the Members of Grace M. Il. Church
VIII Select Their Ticket.
Last Sunday Rev. DR.. McCIish OF Grace
NJ. f. Church asked the voters of his con-
gregation to make point to attend the
Wednesday evening prayer-meeting. Ac-
cordingly there was an unusually large
attendance on that evening.
After the usual devotional services the
minister addressed those present upon the
subject of political responsibility. the duties
of citizenship that press upon Christians,
allowing no excuse for failure to act in po-
litical matters, guided by the Christians
sense of right Concluding, the speaker
suggested that the men retire to an adjacent
lecture-room and discuss muni3ipal candi-
dates, for the purpose of selecting only those
Tor whom Christians can eonscientiously
vote.
This proposition was so effectively op-
posed by the women, who insisted that they
had interests involved, that it was decided
TO remain in the main lecture room.
Suggestions were then called for as to the
candidates, the proposition being for men,
