The AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

The first annual catalogue of the
Bozeman Agricultural college is at
hand. 1t is a most creditable publica-
ton in every way. 1t bears evidence Of
the character and ability of the officers
in charge, and il the work is carried out
on the lines started there can be no
doubt of the immediate benefits of this
new institution.
The scope Of instruction is much
broader than would be expected in a
college with a technical purpose and
name. The three courses of four years
each are agriculture, domestic economy.
and applied science. In each are in
Guided the general features of the lit

though c%uriously enough, but doubtless
with a good purpose, We find such stud

however, includes practical studies re-

p%artments include business methods.
music and preparation for the higher
courses.
Although the funds available for the
new college are by no means up to the
proper limit, the work has been started
with commendable energy and sound
judgment. The governments appropri-
alton of $4,000 to be increased here
after, enables the executive board to
commence instruction at the term be-
ginning Sept. Is with q faculty of nine
members, several chairs being vacant to
be filled later. All departments are
also we'll furnished with apparatus, and
an excellent library will be ready for
use. The Bozeman Academy building
and rooms in the new high school will
be occupied until the state legislature
and the sale of public lands provide for
theeerection of new buildings on the fine
site already chosen.
1t is thus seen that nothing is to pre-
vent any energetic Montana boy or girl
from enjoying all the privileges of the
college during the coming year, provid-
ing the preparation is satisfactory. 1t

IA WEATHER.
IT WILL BE A GOOD FIGHT.

The developments at Washington
thus far do not indicate results. There
is nothing to show the voting strength
Of the opposing forces; each seems te
be Watching the other for the first
move. Yesterday was given to a few
passes to test the steel and an adjourn
ment was taken until Monday when We
may expect the firing Of the first guns
The reports from tho silver men are
nevertheless most encouraging. They
have it in their power to tie up the sem
ate until a compromise, at least, is
reached and with such men as Teller
and Stewart in the lead we are assured
that nothing will prevent the best treat
m,ent and the fullest discussion. The
people of the United States will hear
the argument for silver as they never
heard it before.
There are many rumors concerning a
compromise. 1t is popularity believed
that a change Of ratio will be more
easily reached and will be best for silver
interests, providing it is decided best to
compromise the issue. If congress de-
cides to stop the governments monthly
purchases Of the metal-and it looks
that way now-it would be better for
the country to establish a ratio that
will Immediately secure relief from pre-
vailing conditions. Before considering
this action, however, the silver men
should stand for the best So
luton which is measure
for the free coinage Of silver on a ratio
Of 16 to l. This is assuredly the wisest
issue, since it is a ratio on that logical
and historic basis under which the coun-
try reached it's highest tide of pros
perity. In that way alone it is possible
to solve financial troubles beyond the
possibility of repetition. Silver will
never have it's rightful place until that
basis is agreed upon, and a change of
ratio will be q makeahift like the Sher-
man law though less injurious in it's ef-
fects. It is a question Of policy at this
crisis, however, and demands the high
est wisdom of the silver leaders in con-
gress. If they cannot secure such legis-
lation as silver deserves, they must do
the best they car.
In the meantime the condition of
business in New York is conducive to
the cause of free coinage. The demand
for currency in that city has reached to
abnormal figures of interest. Nothing
like it was ever known in that center
whore silver money was once despised
but is now eagerly sought. 1t Is but a
reflex picture of that volume of cur
rency which the country must have.
1t must come not through temporary
expedients but through the free and
unlimited coinage of the peoples money

Our ambassador to Germany.

The speech made by Theodore Run
yon, American ambassador, at the
Thanksgiving dinn,. in toasting the
emperor has elected favorable COM
ments from the German and American
residents. Part of Mr.. Runyon S speech
was:
I'VE are in foreign land, yet one
not entirely strange to US. We know
the people and their language. They
assisted to a great degree in creating
the prosperity of the country of which
we are SO proud. We are not exiles here.
We have come to drink at Germany's
fountains of learning, to be taught at
her schools of science and art. From
the German people, from their gallant
young emperor down, we have received
a generous and hospitable welcome.
The emperor, both in word and act, has
shown kindness of feeling toward cur
country. He has given also striking
and memorable evidence of his disposi-
tion in using his personal influence for
the creation of the magnificent exhibits
sent to Chicago" These words were
heartily cheered. Berlin Letter.

farming community 10 mllAs east Cf
this city, are agog over the dOings OF
witch Several days ago d young farm
er named Howard Hughes dug d we'll
upon small hill. and when be had got
to what he believed 10 be a sufficient
depth, much TO his surprise, no water
appeared. He cogitated upon the mat
ter, and being firm believer in witches
and hobgOblins concluded that some
person had cast spell upon his land.
Within the limits of this city lives a
DR.. HOff, an OctOgenaTian, who deals in
herbs and claims supernatural powers.
To this strange old man Hughes repair
ed and hired him 20 go down to his
place and locate the trouble. HOff went
with him, and building a fire threw
some of his powders into ii, and while
the fire burned consulted the spirits
through a powwow performance. He
told Hughes that the absence of water
in his we'll was due to d neighbOr
HdulSu SuiLl, "HO was a NlZdIu, WIFI
a poisonous breath and an evil eye, and
that the well would remain dry until
he (Culp) was dead. Since the old
witch doctor revealed this startling in
formation the Hughes and dozen other
families who believe IN witchcraft have
ceased all intercourse with CUlp and
avoid him as they would the e7i. one.
The affair has caused such a S ir that
the matter resolved itself into special
meeting held in the Methodist church
of the village, 10 which all these people
belong. The Rev. J. E. HOllister of
this city, the pastor Of the church, PIE
sided and called upon Hughes and his
followers to disavOw witchcraft and
treat Culp as brother or leave the
church. This they refused to do, and
a church trial Will result.
Last spring Miss Sadie Loop, a mem-
Der of the church, was expelled at a
church trial for asserting that Culp was
a wizard, and it was thought at that
time that the ridiculous superstition
had been stamped Out.-Alliance CO.,

Nothing could be more correct or

Corsican brigand Barthelemy Durili in

No Waiting For "A Bite There.

Mr.. W. K. Reynolds, Jr., in letter
to his father from British Columbia
dated Nov. 1S, tells the following re-
markable story:
WAS at Duncan's two nights; spent
an hour at the COwichan river each
evening catching salmon by the tail and
throwing them up the bank or back in
the river. | suppose you will think
this Overdrawn, but it is fact just the
same. The river is literally swarming
with them, and the water can hardly
be seen for fish. The banks are COW
cred with dead fish, and the stencil is
horrible. The people are complaining,
but apparently nothing can be done. |
caught about 40, one after the other,
and got pretty wet over it. The sport
is more exciting than fishing with a
rod. Every little slough in the river is
filled with them, places where the wa
ter is only six inches deep, but they
force themselves along very fast and are
fearfully strong. The average weight
is about 10 pounds, but there are many
heavier and few lighter. "-Halifax

Professor Garner IncOnsolable Over the De-
mise ofthe Most Intelligent Chin panzee.
Professor Garner, who is to sail for
America in a few days, is quite dis
consulate over the death of Ehshaba,
the most intelligent chimpanzee ever
found. Gamer made the acquaintance
of Elishaba and her husband, Aaron, IN
Africa and induced them TO come north
with him. The death of the poor crea-
ture in Liverpool on Thursday was
quite pathetic. She died in the arms
of poor Aaron, who had been assiduous
in his attentions during her whole i'll
ness.
Professor Garner was present during
her last moments, and when he put
his hand to her heart TO see if it had
ceased to beat Aaron put his hand there,
too, looking in the professor s eyes and
inQuiring if that was all he corld do.
Aaron would not permit his dead COM
panion to be taken from him. The sad
ness in Aaron's countenance could not
have been more clearly portrayed on the
face of a human being. His grief was
inconsolable When the professor Wis
tied his protege yesterday, Aaron was
not content until he had put his hand
in that of the professor and by signs
and sounds was telling him his distress.

A GIRLS GRATITUDE.
Her Devotion to a Mother In Prison Is
Rewarded at Last.

Her Devotion to a Mother In Prison Is
Rewarded at Last.
A bright eyed, rosy checked young
lady was waiting for Governor Mat
tiews when he reached the executive
Office the other morning, and as he en-
tered she extended her hand. The
governor recognized her as the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Martin Of Dubois county,
who was pardoned out of the female
reformatory the day before, and in an
swer to her excited inquiry if it was
true that he had pardoned her mother
he replied, Yes. and you may take
the pardon and deliver it to her."
The announcement was followed by
visible emotion, and it was some mo-
ments before the daughter could con-
troll her feelings sufficiently to thank
him, but looking rather than speaking
her gratitude she took the pardon, and
few moments later her mother was re-
leased after eight years confinement.
That is one of the most peculiar
cases that l ever met, J." said the govern
or as his visitor left the room. Mrs.
Martin was convicted and sentenced for
life for infanticide. She had been de-
serted by her friends and had three
small children depending upon her fOr
support. These she supported by bend
ing over the washtub, and when a
fourth child was born dead she was ar
rested and charged with its murder.
There was, in fact, no evidence to sup
port the charge except what could /:
explained away or accounted for by
natural causes, but she was given life
sentence.
Several years ago her daughter came
here and secured work as a domestic il
order TO be near the mother. and she has
