DEATH OF THE GREATEST MAN
OF INK 10TH CENTURY.

Hon. James G.. Blaine has passed
over to the great majority, aud the
world is mourning the loss. MIR.
Blaine was the idol of sixty millions
Of people, the towering giant OF
American craftsmanship the defen-
der of American honor and inslitu-
tons, the matches orator of the
United States Senate, the greatest
American of the age. Upon his
eloquent tongue our National Con-
gress hung for thirty years enrapt,
and his every pablo utterance the
nations OF The earth inclined their
ear to catch. In summing up his
wonderful powers and public virtues
1t is but just TO say. he was MS wise
and diplomatic az Benjamin Frank
lin, as patriotic as George Washing
ton, as versatile and eloquent as
Henry Clay. rs profound and
powerful as Daniel Webster. In "a
word he was the greatest American
who has ever lived. He came from
the ranks and he rose from obscur-
ity to the pinnacle Of fame. and has
distinguished services in both
houses of Congress, and in the cabi
net of two presidents has made his
name famous throughout the world,
aud every person is anxious to re;u!
the story of his wonderful career.
II. G. Crawford, Esq, who has so
ably prepared the life OF Mr.. Blaine,
has enjoyed the confidence Of Mr..
Blaine for upwards of twenty years,
and was his most confidential friend
and companion in years past also
passed through political campaigns
and in travels abroad has made him
eminently fitted to prepare this
work better than any living man.
The book is endorsed by those
from political and literary life, and
there Is not a doubt out what Mr..
Crawiord's Life of James q.
Blaine" will have phenomenal
sale as it should. Published by II.

And why not? Your seat in the

the same, and no woman with proper

Montana's Uniqro and CostIy WORLDS
FG.r Exhibit.
What single thing on exhibition at
the Worlds Columbian exposition OF
1893 will attract most attention and
cause most comment?
In ell probability it viii be n statue
In the Montana state building.
Why? There are several reasons. In
the frst place, it will be the largest
statue OF It's kind ever made. in that r.
Will be eight feet high, including the
pedestal, and OF solid silver. Thou0h
there are stories Of ancient statues of
fabulous size and value, sculptors agree
that in all probability no solid silver
statue larger than four feet Ia height
was ever made
The statue viii also attract attention
because Of It's great value. The intrinsic
worth Of the silver is $50, 900, and the
sculptOris to receive $40, 900 for his Norl,
Making u reasonable estimate of the
cost Of making the statue it represents
at least 10000, aside from its value as
a WORK OF art.
In brief, the statue is that OF n vorn-
an after tho severely Greek STYLE Of
sculpture. She wears single garment
which leaves arms, neck and upper bust
bare, and falls just below the knee. A
girdle about the waist loosely conAppa
the drapery. On her head is a diaden.
In her left hand, which Is raised above
her head, she holds the scales. in which
gold and silver balance each other. thus
symbolizing Montana's stand on the
silver question. In her right hand
which falls at her side, Is a drawn
sword. She stands on a globe two feet
In diameter, which 10 supposed TO be
floating I'm the clouds.
But it Is not because OF its size. or be-
cause Of it, value in dollars and cents.
or even because Of its artistic merit.
that this statue In the Montana bnild-
Ing viii attract such attention. IL is
because OF two other reasons.

The Decomposed Remains Of . Former

1.-THE decomposed body Of j. NJ. Hines,

found lying on the prairie neal Glasgow.
with a pistol at his side and q hole
through the head. Three weeks ago he
was ordered to Havre from Glasgow,

go, Milwaukee and st. Paul"
Deceased was for several years q resi-
dent OF Madison, occupying a position as
conductor on the Milwaukee road, and
wentfrom here to Glasgow to accept q
like position on the Great Northern.
Jack Hines, as he was familiarly known
among his friends, was popular with
everybody who enjoyed his acquaintance,
possessing a very happy disposition. He
has had business relations with THE
LEADER during his residence in Montana,
and letters from him indicated that he
was prosperous in his new home, Friends
OF the deceased, among the railroad men
in this city, are OF the opinion that he
was murdered. Engineer Yes O'Gar
says . dispatch was received in La
Crosse stating that previous to his dis
appearance he drew q considerable sum
Of money from a bank IN Glasgow, and
the fact that he had been transferred to
to Havre would indicate that he un-
undoubtedly prepared to move his be.
longings to that place. The news will
be received with sorrow by everybody
in this city who enjoyed the aoquaint-
ance OF happy Jack Hines.
