Il lElDlOCK UNBROKEN
nesH sftetnpt Yesterday to Elect a
nltsd States Senator With
s#ss AZ Il s out Result
XNSQn County People Get Their
8nl Through the Senate
8 Unanimously.
*R House w. An Appropriation for
Ssss8 b Montana Exhibit.

The attempt to choose a senator in joint
assembly yesterday was as futile as on pre-
yious days. Beyond the fact that there
wersstwelvs absent, six representatives. ana
nix senators, on leave, and paired. there was
no change in the result.
The bill creating the state board OF edu-
cation went through the committee OF the
whole In the senate yesterday, and VIII
come up for final action Monday. 1t was
NOT amended in any particular. The Teton
county bill was passed by the senate with
out = dissenting vote, and now It VIII take
~ chances In the house.
Speaker Matthews did not get around to
the house yesterday until some time after
prayers. A. F. Bray. the speaker pro tem'
had to call the house to order, aud pre-
sided over its deliberations until his popu-
list associate from Silver Bow arrived. inc
speaker pro tenn makes an excellent preslo-
ing officer. being we'll posted on the rules
md quick in putting and declaring mo-
tons. The house didn't do a great amount
Of business, but it was doubtless quite
enough for Assistant Chief Clerk Pond.
Chief Clerk Meili was away. and his assist
ant had to do all the reading, calling OF
SOil6s 0bC.s huO 0b ue ubs . SNy 70" '
the work was pretty severe on Inn. Inc
house did n thing that was somewhat IN
consistent. It passed a joint memorial to
coneress asking the passage OF a bill segre-
eating part Of the National Park. The bill
has already passed the national house
OF representatives. and is now in
the senate. The next joint
memorial that came up was one asking con-
gress to pass a free coinage bill. One OF
the republican members mad it sent back to
the committee to be corrected by address
ing it to the national house Of representa-
tives, instead of to both branches of con-
press. His reasons for this were that the
senate had already passed an acceptable
bill, and it wasn't necessary to ask that
body. For this reason it was only neces-
sary to memorialize the house. The segre-
CATION mor ial, which passed without
question, ia addressed to both branches of
congress, though the house has already
passed the segregation bill II it was not
necessary to ask the members there to do
anything. 1t was a very cheap piece of
political capital. and the more populous
branch of congress may feel bad over it.

THE SENATE.

The Education Bill Goes Through the
Com mittee of the Whole.
In the senate yesterday the bill intro
ducsd by Mats for the creation of a state
board of education was considered in COM
mites of the whole. with Gibson in the
chair. Without amendment the bill was
reported back favorably and referred to the
enQrossing committee. The Teton county
bill, int oduced by Power, was read a third
time and passed by the following vote:
Ayes-BaJ lies, Brown, Cardwell, Eggleston.
Gibson. Hatch, Mats, McDermott, Steele
and Swift-10. There were no negative
votes.
Senat Mats introduced a bill relating
10 district court records. 1t provides that
clerks of districs courts shall keep, in addi-
<ion 10 the records now eduired by law, a
book called General Index to Court Rec
ords ), and also one called Universe General
Indsx to Court Records" The bill was
read twice and referred to the committee
on judiciary.
Senator Steele introduced a bill author
izinp q change of the channel of the Mis-
souri, river at Ok Bow bend. The bill
grants the privilege for mining purposes of
furninQ the waters of the Missouri river
Though any artificial channel that may be
constructed for that purpose across what is
known as the neck of the Ok Bow bend of
the Missouri. for the purpose of draining
and afterwards mining the present river
channel at that point.
The Joint committee appointed to inves-
tipate and report as to the amount of ap-
propriation deemed necessary for the
Worlds fair managers for Montana to COM
pleits labors and make a crsditable dis
play at the Worlds fair reported that they
had received u detailed statement from the
board, showing what was necessary to be
done to guarantee a creditabIe display.
The committee agrees with tho recon-
mondations as 30 the sums necessary for
the agricultural and mineral exhibits, for
the woman's department and for furnish
ing the building. but believes the estimates
for printing and salaries of Office 8 are in
excess of what is actually necessary. The
committee therefore recommends that in
stead of the $S6, 900 asked by the board,
875, 600 be appropriated, one-half to be
available at once and the other half on
May l, 1898.
The senate adopted Il joint rule intro
duced by Gibson, to the effect that after
either house has received notice that
notice of the Introduction of a bill has
been given. or a bill introduced without
notice in the Other, no bill with the same
title, or of the same tenor and effect, shall
be introduced in the house receiving such
notice from the other.
Power gave notice of the introduction Of
a bill concerning savings banks, trus. de-
posts and security associations.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1893-01-22

A Practical Stenographer Who Teaches

A Practical St~enographer Who Teaches .
Standard System.
Horace Greeley once asked: What ID the
use of stenogiaphy? This happened after
the great editor had a short business SEES
sion with a fledgling stenographer. Many
business men have had occasion to repeat
Greeley's question. The main reason why
there are SO many poor stenographers is be-
cause certain Institutions in order to make
money rapidly literally e ind out" Qradu-
ates from callow and Ruillble people. In
direct opposition to this is the method
used by Miss Jackman, who has an Office in
room 43 in the Bailey block. In addition
to her regular work she finds time to run a
private school and to give personal atten-
tion to students. Her methods are thorough
and she teaches a standard system. When
one of her pupils is sent to fill q place the
diploma taken along is the ability to 'hold
down the job" in q irst-class manner. Miss
Jackman's graduates have no trouble in
getting work.

"Who 10 John HALF" Ia n question Hell.
ena readers of the 81. Louis Globe Demo-
erat are asking. In a recent Issue that
paper contained the following:
1.-The most practical Spiritualist I ever
heard Of" said Mr.. George Poston. at the
Lindell, lis an old man named John Hall,
who lives on a farm or claim. near Helena,
Mont. A number Of years ago Halls wife
died. He refused to believe she was dead.
and kept the lody in the house for several
weeks before he would consent to have II
buried. He still declares that his wife is
not dead and that she is with him con-
tinually. His only daughter married and
removed to another state soon after her
mothers death. md since that time the
old man has lived alone, leading the life of
a hermit. He has never cut his hair nor
beard since that time, and both are now fully
two feet long and almost white. Al every
meal he places v chairs, and prepares
food for two. He holds conversations
with an imaginary person. who he calls
Mary, his dead wife's name. and acts and
talks in all things az though his wife was
living with him in the flesh. He declares
that she has grown young again and looks
Wv - - "ASA Ao " AN y .
He oonsults her spirit about all things and
says that he hears her voice IA plainly as
that OF any living person, and always grows
angry and excited when any one attempts
to convince him that he is the victim of a
delusion. why, man. he will say, don't
yon see her? There she is in that chair.
She will never die and neither will !. She
tells me that I will grow young again as she
is. He insists that she tells him there Ia a
rich gold mine on his claim which he will
one day work and will make him the rich
est man in the world. The old fellow
knows nothing about spiritualism, and on
oil other subjects he is perfectly sane. but
I never saw or heard Of an individual go
thoroughly imbued with spiritualistio faith.
By his %neighbors he is regarded as a harm
less prank whose mind was unbalanced by
his wife's death, and has come to be called
by them The Gold Spook.'"
