THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
FRIDAY JULY Z. 1898.

The Butte Inter Mountain and Hell
ena Independent are calling attention to
the fact that in such times as the pres
ent the public is more than ever in duty
bound to stand by the local press. There
are many business men who are doing
well in the various communities of Mon
tan who give no support to the press,
and who seem to pay no attention to the
benefits, direct and Indirect, which they
they are receiving all the time through
the work done by the newspapers. In a
new community, and especially when
financial affairs are unsettled, there
could be no cohesiveness or unity of eff
fort except through the aid of the news
paper press. Let the business men of
Great Falls ask themselves how they
would like to have the daily papers of
this city shut up shop and go out of
business. They are not making any
money, but they work steadily for the
city, and for every business enterprise
within it's borders, and yet there are
firms that will not advertise or in any
way support the art which is not only
representative of all arts" but the hand
maid and promoter of all enterprise and
all business. The Inter Mountain puts
it right when it calls the newspapers
1.-The soldiers that are defending the gar
rison." If the public let's them starve
what will become of the public? The
is clear: Without the press the
streets would soon be grown over with
grass, and there would be moss on the
backs of the people a yard long.

The late Fanny Kemble is remembered
by old residents of Germantown and
Philadelphia Is a superb horsewoman.
She had a fiery temper, which matched
that of her husband, Pierce Butler, and
speedily brought about what is still one
one of the most noted divorce trials re-
ported in the law books. In her youth
she was remarkably beautiful, and in the
role of Juliet she was the ~personifica-
lion Of dazzling loneliness. She was not
ed for her kcenness Of wit even in the
days of her old age. Once, when an i'm
pertinent street lounger stepped up to
her while she was looking in the window
OF a bric-a-brac store and said, Are you
fond OF ~antiquities?' Mrs. Kemble quick

SENATOR TELLER of Colorado has said
many true and good things about the
silver question, and here is one Of his
latest utterances, which hits the nail on
the head:
No bank that has closed its doors for
WANT of funds would have done so if it
had been in possession of a sufficient
amount of silver dollars to have met the
demands of its customers. | believe
tw%enty-One banks have failed in thirty
days. These failures have occurred be-
cause they did not have and could not
get silver dollars. 1t is quite possible
that some of the failures would have oc-
Cured even II the vast amount of silver
bullion had been properly coined and
put IN circulation, but it is quite certain
that some OF them would not. The sill
yer bullion is estimated at its cost, while
Its mint value is about 40 per cent
greater, and therefore the net amount of
bullion coined would have given 10 the
country not less than S%l0O.C0O.OO0 Of adj
dltlonal circulation. 1t will not do to
say that these dollars are not honest dol
lars, for the proper test to be applied to
circulation Is, does it discharge the full
duty OF money. and If it does it is honest
money.
The scourge of the gold power is heavy.
but there is some consolation in the
thought that it will soon wear out the
hand that yields it.

A Cheeky Customer.

"lhad a unique but tantalizing expe.
rience the other day." said a clerk who
works in a Kansas City hair store. "A
man came into IL place and asked to
look at some false boards. OF course he
was accommodated, and he spent over
an hour going over the lot, trying them
on and examining himself in a glass. He
TOOK up my time, and after he had ex-
amined everything in that line in the
store he thanked me and said he was
considering whether to raise a beard or
not and wished to see how he would look

THE SOUL WINNERS JOY.


They that are wise snail get to heaven.
And there in Gods cffulgence shine,
Where all rewards are strictly given
AS stated in the book divine.
God will the bliss of heaven bestow
According to our works below.
The last degree the saints receive
Is more than mind can yet conceive.
If aught can heavens bliss enhance,
Or make the crowno of life more bright;
II aught can there n soul advance
Much nearer to the throne of light,
Twill be by having, through Gods grace,
Brought many souls to seek his face
And turn from sin to righteousness.
This constitutes the highest bliss.
Then let lis toll and never cease
To earnestly proclaim Gods love
And help by all means to increase
The number of the saved above.
SO when to us u crown is given
They will enhance our bliss in heaven
VIII make us through the life divine
In Gods %efrulgcnce brighter shine.

IT is a sad and gloomy spectacle which
now confronts the people Of the west.
Mines and reduction works forced 10
shut down, men by thousands thrown
out of employment, capital retired dis
couraged and disgusted, and all branches
of business rendered uncertain, which is
the worst possible condition. Mr.. Bland

is common property, to point a moral

A IMPOSTER.
An Englishman Who Could Do Many Things
For Teachers of Hypnotism.

For Teachers of Hypnotism.
The subject who came to me had been
q shining light in the profession, and l
have reason to know that he was ex-
ceptionally gifted. He had performed to
crowded houses under several great
artists at the Aquarium, and elsewhere
IN London and the provinces. He had
figured az select of scientific hyp-
notists. He had been privately operated
on by medical men anxiously seeking
after truth. And, by his WI statement,
he had humbugyed them all. What
proof had l, then, that he was not hum
bugglng me? Ample proof. He offered,
in the first place, to do under my direc-
ton everything which he had done in
public and private scances when under
supposed hypnotic control. contem-
plated, in the first instance, accepting
this offer and giving a demonstration to
a select circle, and it was solely owing to
myself that this was not done.
AS a preliminary. | asked him to ex-
hibit a few of his powers for my private
~edification. He compiled without hesita-
ton. He first of all passed himself into
the "cataleptic" state and lay on the
floor rigid. Two members of my staff
took him in this condition and laid him
across the backs of two chairs-the back
OF his head resting on one and his heels
on the other. He remained SO for several
minutes. On a pass being made over
him with the hand, his body became
arched upward or downward. Two
fairly robust individuals next sat on his
body, and the ''cataleptic" supported
them without signs of inconvenience.
He then himself thrust a needle into his
arm and through the lobe of his ear, to
prove that he was insensible to pain while
in the ~cataleptic state.
Next he showed how one side of his
face could be drawn down by toothache
c'suggested" by the operator), while the
other side was distended in a broad grin.
Again, at the suggestion" of the oper-
ator, the grin and the toothache changed
sides, and so on. He offered to swallow
an ounce of cayenne pepper in a glass OF
water, but unfortunately | had no cav
enne pepper at hand. | asked him
whether he could take a wineglassful of
and he professed readiness
to do 1t at once. The cayenne pepper
could partly understand. 1t would be

TIE MhLIGNED SHERMAN LAW

About the clearest and happiest sum
ming up Of the silver situation is given
by Judge Goodwin in the Salt Lake
Tribune. who writes thus:
The wires tell us that there WAS y
great run on a Manitoba bank Friday,
We wonder il that was due to the Sher.
man law. All the great banks in Ans.
trailia have failed. We wonder if that
was due also to the Sherman law.
business is absolutely Frustrated in all
the southern half of South America.
We wonder if that was caused by the
Sherman law. The securities down
there have deprecated in the last eight
months to the amount of hundreds of
millions Of dollars. More than half the
men in Europe are in utter despair
over the state of business, and there is
not a banker over there who is not add
ing to his reserve every day in fear of
possible calainitles TO come. We won
der If that is due 10 the Sherman law.
On! such wise people as some of ours
are! They watched and saw half the
money of the world thrown away as
though it were thrown in the sea. and
they said that must be right because
the bankers in New York and in Lon
don wanted it that way" They saw
property fall and then they said that
was due to over-production. They saw
gold suddenly appreciate at the expense
OF every other form of property in the
world. They said gold had not appre-
ciated; that the gold dollar was a gold
dollar, and forgot the old law that the
value of a gold dollar is due simply to
the demand for it, and that demand had
been doubled. When the Barings fail

Horse scrnna.

National Siosimon
Now is the time to figure on the
cost Of keeping horses through
the winter.
If you have more than you need
get rid Of part of them.
II would be better to take a low
price for them now than after you
have fed them high priced feed.
Ifyou have the right kind it will
be no trouble to get rid of them.
If you haven't tho right kind it
will pay you to make an effort to
got rid of them.
1t is poor policy to feed high
priced grain to low priced horses.
1t should not be a question of
how many horses you can winter,
but how well you can winter them.
If you have been patronizing
the right kind of stations you
need not worry about your colts
paying for their keeping.
Better have some feed to sell in
the spring than feed it to scrubs
this winter.
Do not let the colts names and
tails get spoiled by getting full of
burrs and rubbish.
Bone and muscle producing
food is what you want for the
young horses this winter. Have
you got it?
1t would be better to put in a
little time now preparing q
place for keeping the young
horses through the winter than
to find some of them crippled in
the spring.
1t is a very good plan to keeT
the young horses separated from
the older ones as much as posi-
BILE, especially in the winter.
Many contagious diseases may
be averted by keeping horses il
good condition. A poor, run dow
animal is generally a prey for al
ailments that are going.

oueor Performance.

Several years ago q Hampshire baronet
was amazed to find that, although he
went to bed clothed as IS customary, yet
he invariably awoke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace of his
missing garment. A great number Of
shirts disappeared in this inexplicable
manner, and as every nook and corner
in the room was searched without re.
suit the baronet at last told one of his
intimate friends, and requested him to
sit in the room all night and watch de-
velopments. This the friend did, and
after the baronet had for some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised to observe him
get ont of bed, open the door and proceed
with a quick pace along a corridor, de
scend the stairs and emerge into an open
yard.
Suddenly the baronet, divesting him
self Of his only garment, seized a pitch
fork and buried the linen in a dunghill.
Afterward he proceeded lcisurely back
TO his bed. In the morning the baronet,
incredulous ut what his friend related,
repaired to the dunghill, and after dig
ging for some time found several shirts
slowed away in this anything but pleas
ant receptacle. Boston Globe
