CONGRESSMAN WILSON explodes Nc
Kinley's tariff bubbles quite as fast as
the great champion Of monopoly can
invent them. He tells an incident
which should interest the thousands of
young men in this country who enjoy
the healthy and invigorating use Of a
bicycle. He says: "a leading mer-
chant Of New York told me that, having
a fancy for a bicycle, he applied, through
a friend, to the manufacturer of a widely
used wheel to find out il he made any
discounts to purchasers direct from the
factory. The manufacturer replied
with emphasis that he had but one price
for his wheels and that no man could
buy them at less than that price, which
was s135. Not long afterward the New
York gentleman, being in London,
learned from the newspapers that the
manufacturer was also in the city. Sur
missing that be was there for trade pur-
poses he again got a friend to ask him
what he would charge for a bicycle de-
!ivered in London. The manufacturer
promptly replied that he would deliver
his wheels in London, freight paid, at 25
per cent discount from his home price.
"In other Words" SAID he, II will sell
you a bicycle, delivered in London, for
EGO" which is sos. One hundred and
thirty five dollars to every American
buyer of his bicycle, and 1913 to every
English buyer.
II the foreigner, as Major Mckinley
says, pays the tax, he seems to save a
great deal of money by doing So"

Our esteemed friend, the w estern
Democrat, sends this encouraging news
to Helena: "The fight for the capital
is growing hot among the aspirants for
it's permanent location. In the mean
while the people af Missoula are doing
the heavy looking on and solid think
ing"
That is right. If all the voters in
Montana will think seriously concern
ing this capital question, Helena will
win in the first round.
The voters who have the interest of
the state at heart, who will vote for thei1
own interests, throw aside preiudices
and support the best town for the CAPT,
tai are invited to study Helena's ad-
vantages from any point of view. Try
and think of one town that presents
better claims. Look the field over care
fully. Do not allow yourself to be in
tiuenced by aluminium or copper en-
blems but analyze the results of your
observation.
Is there a town more centrally located
than Helena; one that offers more op-
portunities for the transaction of busi-
ness OF all sorts; that possesses more com.
forts of life, or that is better adapted
for the capital so far as your personal
interests are concerned? These things
have been told to the voters Of this
state very often, but they cover tie sit,
uation in a nutshell and certainly nc
other town or city in Montana can pre-.
sent the same offers.
IL there are any, let them speak up.

A ROAD TO DILLON.

The movement to build a railroad
from Helena to Dillon, as reported in
The INDEPENDENT yesterday, aroused
great enthusiasm among our business
men. 1t has been started with an ear
n%estness and enthusiasm that means
success.
The project has been under consider
alton a long time. Concerning the fea-
sibility of the route and ~cheapness OF
construction there can be no possible
question. Thase matters have been
fully determined by competent engineers
in the past. Partial surveys were made
some years ago by the Union Pacific
company, and they would have built the
road before this had it not been for the
long series of difficulties among their
stockholders.
AS was thoroughly shown in this pa.
per yesterday the road would tap a mar.
yelously rich mining country which is
greatly in need Of communication. II
would also go through several of the
richest and most prosperous a~gricult-
ural sections in Montana in the Ruby
and Jefferson valleys. A market would
thus be brought for the products OF
these sections and the people would be
brought in closer communication with
Helena, which is now and will be the
railway center of the state. The bene.
fits which would be derived are known
to be sufficient to guarantee profits from
the Investments from the start.
Helena capitalists have quietly been

Its Origin May he Due to Some Electric

One Of the greatest mysteries Of Sol
ence, says Youths Companion, is that
magnificent display of coronal stream
ers and soft banners Of light that is
seen around the totally eclipsed sun.
Several recent Investigations tend to
show that this wonderful phenomenon
is of electric or magnetic origin Mr..
NJ. l. Pupin. of Columbia college. has
Just furnished most suggestive facts
bearing upon this question, through a
series of experiments on electric dis
charges in imperfect vacua
Photographs of such discharges, made

the sun must almost necessarily contain
large quantities of vapors and meteoric
dust. it does not seem difficult to con-
ceive that condition of things exists

anxious to have pretty home wedding
that shall not leave too large vacuum
in the paternal pocket
The first care and perplex1ty. OF
course. is the wedding gown. Brocade
Is expensive and too handsome for tho
occasion. Soft silk she would dearly
love to have. but silk, too. costs too
much. So Margaret thinks she'll have
lansdowne. 1t is. indeed, pretty ma
terial, with sheen to it not unlike
silk, and is so wide that 1t takes COM
paratively few yards to make even the
long train. There are ever SO many
other pretty white stuffs, but none, /
think, prettier than lansdowne.
She'll make the gown in princesse
style, and the yoke shall be filed in
high to the neck-for a bride may not
expose her throat-with full diagonal
folds of tulle. Around the throat q
narrow edge of orange blossoms shall
be laid, which are TO be carried dag
onally across the yoke: there will be
loose belt Of the blossoms, too, pointed
back and front. The sleeves will have
a scarcely perceptible puff, and will be
edged with orange blossoms also. They
will be long, so that only a short glove
will be necessary. When royalty was
married not long ago without gloves
we were assured that the fashion set
would be rigidly adhered TO- But it has
not been SO. Such an ugly style has not
found favor among Americans, for only
one bride in a hundred has hands pretty
enough to hang uncovered. The edge
of the skirt shall be trimmed with full
ruche, as well as the magnificent Wat
teau back, that starts SO narrow and
unassuming at the neck, and broadens
and lengthens out so impressively in its
| Journey to the floor. The long tulle
veil shall be gathered closely together
with bunch of blossoms at the top Of
the head, falling to the edge Of the train

on top, more and more fabrics are con-
stantly appearing. And what with the
velvet stripes, the Russian veiours, the
tucked goods, the dotted and palm
leafed Bedford cords, the new serges,
the shot goods, the corduroys and all the
rest, our minds have no very clear ideas
in them So that if one put OF buying
for q few weeks, to see what will actu-
ally come out of the ERE OF observation
and criticism unframed, one will prob
ably fare much better than by purchas-
ing now But If this be impossible,
there is some material that 1t is safe to
count upon. The new shaggy chevlots,
for instance, will never be amiss, and q
Bedford cord can be relied upon to last
for one season at any rate. Serges, too.
are always in style, but the serge craze
has been so intense all summer that it
is little tiresome now. Still, in new,
odd shades, serge will be worn again.
Crepons? Yes, with the silk designs
running over them, they make up very
handsomely.
The empire is surely coming upon US.
We SEQ suggestions of it in the short,
full waists, the high skirts coming up
over, the ever increasing sleeve, the Wat
teau folds and variations in our gowns.
Some of the bell skirts are being sup
planted by gored ones; even the bells
are cut differently from what they
were. having no seam at the back, but
only bias. bell-shaped piece. In the
front the breadths are gored to'tit the
figure more closely than ever.
A pretty new combination suit has
rust come from Paris. It is a novelty,
for it answers two purposes-that OF an
afternoon visiting gown and Of an even
ing dress as well. For the velvet yoke
it bears and the embroidered lower
sleeve can be taken out at will, leaving
a remarkably pretty evening dress.
The material is soft sea-green duchesse
silk, and is combined with much green
and delicate gold embroidery, in bands.
The front of the skirt hangs separate
from the back. and where they stand
slightly apart at the sides we can see
band of black velvet. This style Of
skirt will be very popular this winter.
Whether it will reach us so soon one can
scarcely say. The front portion of the
skirt is bordered, both edge and sides,
with pale green and gold embroidery; so
is the back portion, but only at the
sides, for the small train must needs
