Col. w. II. Wheeler, Librarian Of the
Montana Historical rociaty, gays he has no
doubt but that the great geyssrs Of the yell
lowstone National park were discovered In
the timo OF tho Lewis and Clarke expedi-
tion. In tho vanguard Of the march toward
the Pacific OCEAN was the famous expedi-
ton OF I1swis and Clarke, which went over
land to the mouth of the Columbia river.
John Golfer was a hunter in this expedition
and by soma chance he went across tho
mountains on the old trail Of the Nez Perces
Indians. which leads across the divide from
tbs Missouri waters to those of the
Columbia. When he came back over the
Nez Percea trail he told the most wonder
full tales Of what he had seen at the head OF
the Missouri. There were cataracts OF
Goalding wator which shot straight up into
the air; there wers blue ponds hot enough
TO boil fish; there were springs that came
up snoftlng and stsaIning, and which would
turn trees into stone; this woods we're full
of holes from which issued streams OF sul-
phur; there were canyons of untold depth
With walls Of ashes full Of holes which let
out steam like a locomotive, and there were
springs which looked peaceful enough, but
which at times would burst like a bomb.
Every ono laughed at Golfer and his yarns,
and this place was familiarly known as
Collars He'll" But for once John Golfer
told tho truth, and the truth could not
easily bs exaggerated. But no one be-
Loved him. When others who afterwa-d
followed him over the Nez Perces trail told
the same stories, people said they had been
up to Golfers Help and had learned to
lie.

Marahal Furay dropped in last evening
to report q wonderful find Of coal at the
head Of Last Chance gulch. He says the
vein or seam, or whatever they call those
things. was discovered by Angus Mcqueen,
and by him sold to members OF the
Sapphire club. who have incorporated a
company. Samples taken from the dump
assay SLIPS in coal and $8.l5 in gold to the
ton. Ihe owners of this rich find have hit
upon a novsl scheme TO work it. Tom Gil
christ. so ths story runs. has patented q
base burner stove, one of which will be
presented free to each householder who will
burn this coal. The most liberal part of
the whole business, however, is that the
coal is furnished free. All that is asked is
that it be used in the base burners, tho ssh
pans Of which arc under lock and key. The
key il held BY the agent Of the company,
who goes around in a cart every morning,
unlooks tho ash pan, dumps the ashes n
his zinc lined receptacle, and carries then,
to the company's works on the Prickly
Pear. There the regular process separates
the gold from the ashes. Marshal Furay
says this is 70, aud nobody likes to dispute
his word.

from Helena, Great Falls. Missoula, Boze-
man, Anaconda, Livingston and such other
towns Is are interested. II is very desira-
BILE that the capital city should be repre-
scented at Butte and ii is proposed to havo a
meeting at the Board of Trade rooms next
Monday at two p. m. to select a delegate
who will be able to properly represent Hell
ena at the conference to form a state
league. Ihere seems to be a very general
desire in the leading cities of the state for
the organization of d baseball circuit.
Leading movers in the movement in Hell
ena have received assurances of financial
backing. Similar offers have been
made in tho other towns, so
that the outlook is very bright
for the formation of q league. 1t is under
stood TINT the delegates who are to meet at
cities, who do not go into the movement
altogether because they like to see a good
game Of ball. The advantages of a ball
league as an advertising feature have long
ago been recognized and have been used
with SUCCESS BY every state in the north
west except Montana. The rivalry between
the different towns represented in the Mon
tana league would crowd the bleaching
boards and grand stand. A game between
Helena and Great Falls in either of the 1--WE
places would bring out the people to see
the struggle on the ball field. So with the
other towns. II Helena wants to be in it

A young woman was arrested in
Cincinnati for wearing male apparel
on the street, from which it may be
inferred that law exists prohibiting
such transformation. But why law
should be made against this special
feature and not against real
masquerading-which the law is
aiming at-would be interesting to
reason out. There is certainly much
more of disguise behind paint and
powder, false hair and figure, than in
the simple attire of man. And,
furthermore. what right has a
commonwealth, under the United
States constitution, to interfere with
the comforts of its people? Woman
are already wearing mems shirts,
collars, cuffs, neckties, hats, shoes,
jackets, cloaks, and are approaching
the pantaloons in the form of the
divided skirt-all for their comfort.
But they are not arrested for this,
because these articles have become
fashionable. Fashion is therefore
above law.

When Uncle Billy Styles registered
q few days ago he did not know what
bitter disappointment there was in
store for him on election day. Others
knew but they hadn't the heart to tell
him that, while he was loyal and
upright citizen of the United States
of America, loyal citizen of Idaho
and a loyal citizen Of Washington
county, he could not cast his ballot
because higher power had deprived
him of his eyesight, which affection
the laws made by his fellow men had
construed into disqualification. He
learned the truth only when he walked
to the polls to procure his ticket.
The good old mans lips quivered
and his face twiched when he learned
that he was DISTINGUISHED and beneath
that flag under which he was born, had
lived and grown gray he was no longer
a Ccitizen and had no voice in the
government of his country. There
stood a man of as fine sensibilities,
as broad a mind and as keen an
intellect as perhaps any man in this
county, staunch patriot, good
citizen and a large taxpayer, deprived
OF the right to say who should
govern him, standing under the same
dark mantle which we venerate our
forefather for hurting from their
shoulders in the year 1876-taxation
without representation. There in all
its magnitude doomed out the foulest
and darkest blot on the es-
cutcheon of Idaho. 1t is shame
upon us that the loss of sight deprives
a man of his Americanism, and the
rights guaranteed him by the flag Of
his country, and cause him to bow
voiceless while the officers who shall
collect and handle the taxes his
government forces him to pay, and
who shall run the government for
which he is taxed, are chosen for him
by, perhaps, the foreigner who has
just received his papers. We feel for
you, Uncle Billy, as do all true men
who were there, and we trust that
that disgrace to the present, and in
most parts good, election law will
soon be wiped out, and that at the
next election you will go to the polls
as proudly as your more fortunate
neighbor who has escaped affection.
However, that will not atone for the
present indignity, but it was not in
any way the fault of those who were
in charge of the election. They dare
not disregard the law. Nor do we be-
lieve it was ever intended that the law
should be as it is in effect We be-
lieve it to be a thoughtless oversight
which the next Legislature will cor
rect

French chemist oats contain twice as
much mineral principles to form and

Besides that, oats contain principle

The German chemist who discover

with regard to all other animals one
ought to feed them this grain in pref
erence to all others.

A pug pup belonging to Mrs.
Lavina Ford, of San Francisco, felt
very lonesome for few hours last
week. There the pet lay all alone on
the mat in the parlor while Lavina
went to Jail to answer the charge of
stealing it. But pretty soon when
Lavina returned to caress and kiss
the sweet thing, and tell him that she
had brought suit against the police
man for $4,000, his yelps of joy as he
lay on her chaste bosom told that he
was no longer a sad and sequestered
pup. The dear sweet thing was
happy again.

A new system of money orders is
now in use. 1t is quite simple and
is an excellent way in which to send
small sums of money. A sheet call
ing for amounts from one dollar to
three, has been prepared. On the
payment of one cent in addition to
the amount to be sent, the sheet will

er will endorse it as a check or draft.
The government guarantees its trans

There was quite crowd standing
around out side the fence at the court
house on election day, and they
stayed out side--a hundred feet OF
more away from the polls Now and
then one would leave the crowd and
walk in to vote, followed by the
anxious eyes of the multitude. With
all it was dull, men looked gloomy
and shook their heads. The old time
enthusiasm was gone. 1t didn't
seem like an election. Candidates
couldn't turn themselves loose to
electioneer in a proper manner.
There was no jug circulating around.
Men couldn't crowd around and look
over each others shoulders to see IL
the voter deposited the right ticket.
1t was no fun to watch a man in a
booth and wonder who in Sam Hill he
was voting for, it was too straining on
ones constitution. None of the old
familiar sayings were heard. oLet
me help you," "Lets see your
ticket" What ticket is that?" "Here
don't this one suit you better?" were
heard no more amongst the hills of
Spain. Candidates didn't have a bio
roll of tickets in each pocket to
distribute. You couldn't hand voter
a ticket, push him right up to the
ballot box and see that he voted it.
No, there wasn't any fun, not even a
fight. Yes, my brethren, the glory
OF election day has faded into the
past, its greatness is no more.
