Where Women Come from.

Womans first appearance has been
a fruitful subject for the legend mon
gers. The Phnnician myth of crea-
ton is found in the story of Pygma-
lion and Galatea. There the first
woman was carved out of ivory and
then endowed with life by Aphro-
dite.
The Greek theory of the creation
Of woman according to Hesiod, was
that Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered
Vulcan to make woman out of clay,
and then induced the various gods
and goddesses to invest the clay doll
with all their worst qualities, the re-
suit being lovely thing with the
witchery of mien, refined craft. eager
passion, love Of dress, treacherous
manner and shameless mind.
The Scandinavians say that as
Odin, Will and We, the three sons of
Dor, were walking along the sea
peach they found two sticks Of wood,
one of ash and one of elm. Sitting
Town, the gods shaped man and
woman out Of these sticks, whiting
5he woman from the elm and calling
1er Emia.
One OF the strangest of stories
touching the origin of woman is told
by the Madagascarenes. In so far as
5he creation of man goes, the legend
Is not unlike that related by Moses,
only that the fall came before Eve
arrived. After the man had eaten
the forbidden fruit he became affiict-
cd with boil on the leg, out of
which, when it burst, came beauti-
sul girl. The mans first thought was
to throw her to the pigs: but he was
commanded by voice from heaven
70 let her play among the diggings
1ntil she was of marriageable age,
then to make her his wife. He did
SO, called her Raboura, and she be-
came the mother of all races Of men.
The American Indian myths rela-
tive to Adam and Eve are numerous
ind entertaining. Some traditions
trace back our first parents to white
Ind red maize, another is that man,
searching for wife, was given the
daughter of the king of muskrats,
who, being dipped into the waters of
a neighboring lake, became a woman.

PROFESSOR WIGGINs, who made his

He says that the country is going to

WHILE the appointment Of a receiver
for the Northern Pacific railroad will
not occasion surprise, it will cause gen-
eral regret throughout the northwest.
1t was hoped last spring when the COM
pany was enabled to secure a loan Of
sl2,000,C00 that it would be able to tide
over n season of poor business, but the
revenues of the road have fallen off SO
rapidly as to create further loss in OPP
Grating expenses, and a receivership was
the only alternative. The Northern Pa
citic company under the management of
Willard and Cakes has been in the main
liberal and public spirited. 1t has rem
dered an i%noalculable service in develop
ing the Of the great north
west. We trust its embarrassments
will prove temporary, and that it will
be restored to its former status.
The receivership proceeding was a
one instituted by the manage.
mont itself, and it is gratifying to know
hat the road will continue to have the
benefit of the able direction of President
)akes.

their intention Of taking little

prevailing unpleasant results of their

GOOD NEWS.

The announcement that work will be.
gin at once OF the Castle road is very
gratifying. It has been delayed of late
by the stringency IN the money market.
Four weeks ago the funds wore ready in
the east for shipment but further fears
and embarrassments in that quarter
postponed progress until now. The in
domitable energy of Mr.. Harlow and
others knew no quitting place, and the
result is that all plans have been ar
hanged for active construction. The
contracts have been given and the dust
will be flying before Sept. l. There is
nothing to prevent grading now, except
the completion Of tho survey to the Mis-
souri, river. Engineers begin work to-
day and will finish within two weeks.
1t is expected hat the grading of the
road to the river will be finished before
winter, and if the weather holds good it
will be carried right along to White
Sulphur Springs.
This is surely good news. 1t shows
that despite prevailing dullness OF trade
and distress in centers where money is
most easily secured, the spirit that made
Helena is very much alive and very
busily engaged. 1t is the spirit that
tells the world that Helena wins what
she starts for.
1t is needless to say that this new
road will work wonders for Helena. It
will make her a tributary center for a
new and rich country; it will bring pro-
auce to this market and ores for our
,melter; it will enable Helena merchants
% reach ahead of their rivals in a new
ield and will ultimately be the route
or a great trunk line road to the east.
Helena already is the railroad center of
he northwestern country, but this new
DAD will clinch her prestige beyond all
to remove it. Side tracked
owns without natural advantages will
emain side tracked while all roads lead
this city.
We most heartily congratulate the
gentlemen who have been active in this
enterprise. They have toiled long and
lard to make the start, and now that
hey have succeeded are surely entitled
10 the thanks OF our citizens. They are
answering the cry "On to Castle" in a
most satisfactory way.

APPARENTLY reliable reports Of the
condition OF crops in Great Britain in
dictate that it is the worst since 1870,
the hay crop never having been so un-
promising. Potatoes alone are reported
above the average. As the crop pros
poets in this country are fair, it is
reasonable to expect that the farming
element of our population will DO pros
for a year at least. When the
farmers have money, the merchants sell
goods, the manufacturers get orders, and
the railroads carry freight and passen-
gers. All these transactions require
money and the demand for money ne
the production OF silver, and
at this point Montana will move forward
again along the pathway Of her wonted
prosperity.

HAS Don Cameron, after his record in
favor of silver coinage, changed his
mind? We don't believe it, although
the New York World puts him in the
list OF senators favoring the repeal of
the Sherman act. We notice that the
World has the name Of Senator Vest in
the same list, a most widely mistaken
claim. We believe, too, that Cali, OF
Florida, and Henderson, of Nebraska
who are set down as favoring the repeal
will be found on the other side. If
these surmises are correct, the alleged
majority for repeal, on the Worlds
showing, will be turned into a minority
of at least four.

IT should not be forgotten in these
times that laws alone bring about eco
nomic conditions, and 1t should also be
kept in mind that the laws operating to
bring about the present condition of
the country were enacted by republi-
cans. and by no other party. The sole
business of the administration is to gee
to the execution of such laws as are in
the statute books. The prevailing hard
times are due to laws enacted by repub.
lican congresses and signed by a repub-
lican president. There can be no get
ting away from that fact.

IT is an interesting fact that the bust
ness men who "go broke" first in a per-

~ The panic of 1857 was followed by a

1873 was followed by a great movement
of population from Chicago and other
cities to st. Paul, Minneapolis and Kan

that he had told her to tell the truth

Fernand Grossard, who works at the
Basket saloon, on Alameda street, (Lem-

Irene's room tho morning after che was
burned, about 10 80 or IL O'Clock. He
found pieces OF lamp on the floor next

yard from the Alameda street wall. He
threw them into swill barrel, but
gathered them mp and handed them to

hitited to the witness and he identified
them.
