Camp Notes.

They boys at camp are evidently hav-
ing a good time. Saturday night wit
messed the special dedication and some
twenty or thirty grew good -natured as
the hours wore on. Music and fireworks
on the lake were special features and
took so well that they will be repeated
on next Saturday evening.
Sunday night a horse belonging to s.
D. Peterson and used by Drs. Schoch
and Behnke was tied to a tree in the
neighborhood of the camp. During the
evening it was cut loose by someone and
disappeared. A search followed on
Monday, but the horse still remains at
liberty.
Saturday night, Alvin, the travelling
man fell victim to the schemes of his
companions. He had rowed six of them
out from shore to bathing place and
when in water that reached to the should
ers they commenced to rock the boat and
fill it with water! At a given slgral the
six. who by the way were devoid of all
wearing apparel and clad only in natures
garb. jumped into the mirrored waters
and left Alvin to his fate There was
no hope for him and he was accordingly
compelled to jump into the water to
keep from getting wet in the boat.
Drenched through and through he made
a RAID on the dry clothes at the camp
and the song for several days has BEEN:
Bring back those pants to me.
Reporter Eckstein. the ever-watchful
guardian of the camp, was sent out Sun
day on a foraging trip. About twilight
he was seen headed towards camp again
loaded down with valuable plumber,
which convinced those who saw him that
Wenzel knows good plunder when he
sees it.
The singing OF the X. P. quartette "n
Saturday evening was sweetenough, they
Say, to coax the bull frogs from their
hiding places and gull the fishes to the
air that they might be charmed by the
blended harmony.

to camp and entertains the boys with the

BISMARCK MAKES a SPEECH


Berlin, July %. Cable More than
/, 100 excursionists from Brunswick ar
rived at Friedrichsruhe yesterday after
noon and marched to Prince Bismarck's s
house. In response to anaddress Of their
spokesman, Bismarck made . long speech
His most notable remarks were these:
"Such opposition as I experienced
when l was minister president of Rus
sia has not been attempted recently. Dur
ing the ol6-regime, however, no serious
danger was apprehended from opposition
because the fullest confidence was felt
that neither the empire nor Prussia could
be endangered as long as the helm. of

emperor and his ministry Enthusiastic

solidity and stability of affairs can hard
ly be said to exist.
"Although the army bill was assailed
at first from all sides, many voted for it
rather than bear the responsibility TO,

and second dissolution. My son tells
me it was known generally that the gov
ernment would encounter the most seri-

A Georgia Barbecue.

q 0oOI&Aa 0t4lD06u6. t@a
At recent barbecue In southwest
Georgia, says the Atlantic Constitution,
seven strange and hungry-looking men
were seen huddled together in corner
of the woods remote from the big crowd
But now and then, while the sscarcass-
es" were roasting in elpits, one of the
men would come forward, get Whit of
the savory meats and retire to his dis
consolate companions.
No one seemed to know the men,
they were strangers to all, and yet they
had the appearance of farmers who had
raised big crop of cotton at cents.
But everybody knew them after the
horn blew for dinner.
With mad rush those hungry-look-
ing men made for the table and with
wild eyes and open mouths they went to
work.
Shoulder after shoulder of beef disa D.
peared, the men devouring everything in
sight.
The crowd stood amazed and forgot
that it was huagry, too. Those seven
lank men7were the attraction, and it was
not until they could eat no more, and
had crawled off to rest-or die, that the
people remembered where they were and
that they had appetities.
The chief of the barbecue approached
the men and in faint voice asked.
''Where did you fellers come from and
when did you eat before you struck the
neighborhood!!"
One Of them answered:
eve come from this county, but we've
been abiding and hungry. Wejes' heard
that the war was over and that Sherman
was a-givin' out rations an so we thought
we'd git some!''
The chief Of the barl ecue tainted and
they carried him from the field, more
dead than alive.

THE SMALLEST GOVERNMENT.

1t Has a Population of 1900 and Is Lo-
GATED Between belgium and Germany.
"Thero has been at different times . great
dsnl of talk ~ to which il the smallest gov.
ernmsnt in the world" said Max do Lip
man, of Brussels to = ST. Louis Globe
Democrat reporter. II can name it with
ont n fear OF contradiction. 1t Is the
territory OF Morssnet. which lies between
Germany and Belgium. II has a popula-
ton of nearly 1000. The people are do
voted entirely to the tin mining industry.
There Ia no military service and election
days ars things they never heard of. There
is a senate of ten members. who are ap-
pointed by the mayor. He gets his place
by being appointed by two delegates. one
from Germany and ons from Belgian. The
police force consists of one man. He Is
paid out of the annual revenue, which is
about 1000 francs. This also pays for the
maintenance of the roads and the schools.
The territory was made independents in
1916, to settle a dispute. Germany and
Belgium both wanted it on account OF its
tin mines, but neither of them got it. The
territory contains a trif1e over two square
miles Of ground"

THE first wave of enthusiasm which
greeted the proposition to annex Ha-
wall seems to have lost it's edge, aud the
leading statesmen and newspapers are
now discussing the subject in u more
conservative way. If President Harri-
sons views are correctly reported he
favors establishing q protectorate over
the islands, and 1t seems probable that
this will be rs far as our government
will care to go in the matter. To begin
with, it is by no means certain that the
islands would prove desirable as addi-
tional territory to the United States.
The conditions OF life there are suoh as
to present Il serious argument against
annexation while a coaling station, all
that has ever been demanded has been
secured. An additional reason is that
an annexation movement on the part OF
our government would surely involve
serious difficulties with European gov
ernments. 1t is, however, the duty OF
the United States to prevent any for
eign nation from securing the islands.
This is self protection and on this basis
it is more than likely that an agree
ment will be reached for q protectorate.

THERE is a movement under way in
New York to establish a great munich
pal theater, one that would be under
the control, and indeed, a department
of the city government. The profits
and losses would be settled by the tax
payers, and in return they would be
privileged to enjoy the very best per-
formauces by the %cleverest actors. 1t
would be on a plan much like that
which obtains in Paris where grand
opera receives a yearly subsidy from the
French government, and in consequences
of which Paris has long enjoyed the
honor of furnishing the best and most
complete operatio performances. The
New York proposal would strike most
Americans as rathe: too foreign for this
country, but nevertheless, its friends
present many strong arguments which
appeal to all who believe it a duty to
cultivate an appreciation of tho best
amusements.

Fight Between a Lion and q Bear.

Fezon, q Paris lion tanner, who is now ex-
hibiting his menagerie in Limoges, will
probably lose a fine white bear which used
to be one Of his great 'draws" at fairs.
The London TsleRraph's correspondent
SAYS. The animal made q move yesterday.
at the beginning of . performance, towards
the central cage. Hardly had it entered
therein, when LEO" a large. fully de-
veloped lion. broke suddenly Loose from
an adjoining compartment and attacked
the white bear with fury. The two
animals fought with tooth and CLAW for
several moments. the floor of the cage be-
ing covered with blood. At last the bear
was "bowled over" by its leonine a%ntagon-
list. The two shaggy and savage combat
anti were separated by Pszon and his men
with great difficulty and at no iroonsidera-
BILE amount of danger to themselves. The
tanners were loudly acclaimed on the con-
clusion of their p~erilous task. Tho bear il
f~earfully maneled, the flesh being COM
pletely tom off one of its paws, while ite
head and sides are full of gaping wounds.
Leo escaped with comparatively little maui.
ing, and does not bear any deep traces Of
the terrible fray.

commons on Friday. 1t was indigna-

GOOD NEWs.

We are pleased to learn from the
Anaconda Standard that the next sem
ator from Montana will be a democrat
and that there is not any doubt about
1t. This is assurance doubly well
come in this critical stage of the sena-
torial game, for it means that the Dixon
men will support any democrat rather
than permit the election of q republican
senator or the appointment by Richards
through failure of the legislature to
elect.
Sometime ago THE INDEPENDENT
told it's readers that the next senator
from Montana would be a democrat, and
at frequent intervals repeated the as
surance There were times, however,
when it looked as though we would
have to hedge ON that proposition;
there we're we'll grounded fears that an
obstinate determination to defeat n
man or elect another would carry the
party into the enemy's camp. II is,
therefore, with exceeding JOY thst we
learn from the Standard that the next
senator from Montana will be a demo-
crat-"and there isn't any doubt about
itp'
We have only to suggest to the nine
men the necessity of carrying out our
contemporaries promise at the earliest
possible date; the republicans are. still
soheming to get away with 1t and from
past experience we know the length Of
their resources. Not a moment is to be
lost, il the democrats OF Montana are to
have that which belofss to them.
Lot that ~senatorshtp be secured be.
You'd doubt at high noon tomorrow.
