j. l.. Reese, Of Brooklyn, holds in
special d~etestation the shyster lawyer
and his methods for obtaining business.
Mr.. Reese is at the Grand Pacific and
said that some weeks ago while crossing
a street in New York city he was
knocked down by a wagon that was
going at a rapid rate, but which he
could have avoided if he had been more
careful and not in such a hurry. He
was carried into a drug store. and the
driver, almost as scared as he was. was
n Of the first by his side. He gave his
name and address to a policeman, who
constituted himself the first judge in the
case.
In a few hours he was not much the
worse for the accident and vent home.
He had hardly finished breakfast the
next morning when a lawyer called who
insisted that he knew all about the case
and dilated at some length ON reckless
street driving in general and the care
lessness of the driver in this case in par
ticular. He was informed that if Mr.
Reese determined to prosecute the S
he would be informed Before noon
four other lawyers called. and each tried
his best to induce the injured man to go
to law about it. Mr.. Reese finally gave
orders that if any one else asked for him
to find out if he were Il lawyer before
admitting him. If any more called he
didn't hear of it. Chicago Tribune.

LET US HAVE PEACE.

The reply of ga REPUBLICAN" in
today's HERALD to the Miners stand
for peace partakes in our opinion of
the right and proper spirit in which
our campaign ought to proceed. If
we would allay factional fights, and
satisfy political wrongs, it becomes
the binding duty of every citizen to
give and take. If he be republican,
democrat, populist or representative
of any other party, let him lay aside
all feeling of malice, or personal dis
cord and throw his soul into what
ever will unite the interests Of the
town. Any sensible man can read
lily see that the time is probably
neal at hand when a question will
arise which demands the united vote
of the town. There is nothing to be
made by wrangling over the person
of a man, if he be a thoroughly
competent man, and one willing to
undertake the service of the public.
If, as we understand, Mr.. Neihart
has again consented to become a
candidate for the ~mayorality we
think indeed that no better man
could be had. We will 90 for his
election.
Now can not an Independent tick
ct be formed, with each of the three
political parties represented upon it
as candidates for aldermen? Let not
the notion of party arise in the cam
paign, but let the party leaders of
the political parties each choose it's
respective mar for one of the vacan-
cies. Let there be a hands clasp
between them for a solid support
and let there be no other candidates.
GA REPUBLICAN," has the correct
view.

Don't Remove the Grassy Banks.

" 49, IN IL
The foe of natural grace and beauty is
the road commissioner, whose mistaken
zeal is allowed annually to remove the
grass which seeks to soften the dusty
outline of the road along it's untrodden
borders and cutters. This is an ex-
pensive process and wholly unnecessary,
since adding to the dust capacity of the
street is the only service it accolnplishes.
the short, thick turf affording no OBJ
%struction to carriage wheels. This is
called cleaning up" the street, when
as a matter of fact it only adds to it's
dirt.
But a worse phase of the cleaning up
mania is apparent when the jealous
commissioner proceeds to remove from
the banks of the highway what he terms
weeds-namely, the graceful mantle of
vegetation with which nature ever seeks
to conceal the wounds which mar has
made. It is interesting to watch the
process by which the devastations of the
road cutter are tempered to the eye by
the beautiful natural screen of vines
and heritage, which, if let alone, will
o cover the rough, unsightly places
with a drapery of verdure when the
shorn and barren waste.
After his inroads banks of sand and
gravel are left on each side of the wide
road, from which every spear of grass
has been banished, the fences stand up
stiff and stark, the rocks protrude from
the soil, the trees which cannot he
felled have their lower branches rudely
cut away, SO that their trunks are gaunt
and unsightly, stumps are left along the
edges of the fields, and the soft turf is
replaced by sandy slopes to be quilted
by the rain.
Without wasting an hour nature be-
gins her gentle but t~ireless work of
transforming these ruins into beauty.
What can be more pleasing than the I'M
molested edge of an old road, where
hazel and elder hang out their fruit for
the birds, where the fragrant clethra
blossoms, where the wild grapevine and
the glossy bramble climb from tree to
tree, and wild roses and morning glories
brighten the shadows with their smiles?
Here in the spring the trientalis and
anemone make the ground beautiful
with their white blossoms, while the
shad bush waves a welcome to the pass
erby. AS summer the sky blue
chicory clusters there. the milk weed
and the epilobium show pink and pur-
pie amid the foliage. the mullen lifts its
stately yellow blossom from its furry
leaves, while the barberry shows first its
arcs of yellow bloom and later its coral
clusters of fruit, that contrast we'll with
the great goldenrod and the splendid
purple of the wild aster in the fall
Garden and Forest.

Loss Of Teeth Affects Length Ut Life.

The loss of the m~asticating teeth be-
fore the thirtieth year means Il shorten
ing of the life Of the individual of from
two to five years. To know the extent
to which many of these teeth are lost.
even before the fifteenth year, one has
only to turn to the reports of the ex-
animation of the teeth of children in the
schools and orphan homes of London
and elsewhere. If some effective meas
ures are not adopted for combating the
ravages Of dental decay it looks very
much as though another half century
would find the poorer classes of English
people practically edentulous before the
twentieth year.-New York Commercial

MOVEMENT FOR ROAD REFORM.

Public Sentiment Profound AID Universal
Organization Needed.
The latest phase of the agitation fol
road improvement-the calling of q
meeting at Chicago during dedication
week.-Mrs. for the purpose of uniting
the friends of the movement throughout
the country in a national league for good
roads.
This proposition (advanced with some
hesitation by the writer) has been taken
up with great enthusiasm: the call for
the meeting was signed by the most &C
tive road organizations in the country,
by boards of trade, agricultural societies.
members of congress and others; the
management of the exposition promised
its hearty cooperation, and there is
every prospect of valuable results.
The Importance of this movement
cannot be Overestimated. The public
sentiment in favor of road reform is pro-
found and universal, but as to exact
methods and ways and means it is all at
sea and brings no practical influence to
bear anywhere. If it can once be massed
and crystallized upon definite measures
it will be irresistible. This can only be
accomplished by organization, reaching
every interest concerned and especially
the farmers.
Heretofore the latter have held seme-
what aloof from the movement under
the apprehension that the chief burden
OF building roads would fall upon them
and be more than they could bear, but
if they take advantage of this oppor-
tunity and organize in every school dis
trict they will be in a great majority in
the national league and safe from any
adverse action, while they will have the
satisfaction Of being largely their own
deliverers.
They can feel assured in advance that
their labor will not be in vain, and that
means will be found, satisfactory to
them, to accomplish the work and dis.
tribute its burdens, and that when they
decide what they can do and what help
they want, that help will be forthcom-
ing. Already various plans for state
and national aid to road building have
been proposed and received with favor.
and it only requires thorough discussion
to develop others and decide upon the
best.
When this end is gained, and the peo-
pie speak with voice, legislation is
easy, and the work for good roads being
"well begun" will be "half DONE"

William Abshire, who last week
shot and killed the Crow Indian,
Little Face, had his preliminary
examination at Billings Tuesday
before Justice Fraser and was held
to the district court without being
admitted to bail. A large number
of Indians attended the trial, includ-
ing the principal chiefs of the tribe.
The two witnesses to the killing
were not close enough to Abshire
and Little Face to hear the alter
cation that ensued before the killing,
but were in plain view, and testified
that the Indian was in the act of TN
singing his gun from his back when
Abshire fired. The general Impress
ion seems to prevail that Abshire was
fully justified and it is better for him
to be tried by the district court than
to be acquitted on a preliminary
examination. 1t is expected his trial
will come off at the present term,
All is quiet at Wilsey and vicinity

Will Hanks and others who have
a bond on the Maginnis mine at
Maiden, have received news of a very
rich strike made recently in this
property. Mel Buress, who has
charge of development work in the
mine, sent word in that he had un-
covered a large body of free milling
ore, which assays way up in the
thousands in gold and carries con-
siderable silver. All Maiden and
adjacent places are said to have gone
wild over the news of the strike, for
it will give a great impetus to min
ing in that almost abandoned camp.
Maginnis is owned by Messrs Haus-
er, Hotter and other Helena parties,
and was once one of the leading
mines of Montana. 1t has remained
idle for the past ten years, all the
ore in sight having been exhausted.
If the strike proves to be as rich as
reported and the old mine is again
worked to its full capacity, Maiden
will boom once more and the posi-
bility of railroad connection with
Fergus county will become a GER
tainty. Will Hanks left for Maiden

Yearning for City and Country Life.

The man who lives in the country
yearns for the city. the man who lives
in the city yearns for the country. The
farmer would seek pent precincts of the
town and bend over ledgers; the clerk,
already bent double over his ledgers,
raves the free air and the u~nconfined
horizons of the farm, the distant hills
and the broad acres between. Variety
is it not, which they both seek?
In opposite currents, doubtless, but
both continually by immutable tenden-
cies. Such is certainly the optimistic
theory of the situation implied by these
abandoned" farm pamphlets. Is it the
true one?-Appleton Morgan in Popular

A good road costs a great deal of

to the best Roman military roads. It is
almost a pity that we could not have
had Julius Caesar and his army withssus
