4 serious disturbance occurred on the Place de Jaude at Clermont Ferrand on late Tuesday evening. A negro tanner of the American circus named Jackers quarreled with and stabbed workman. He then took to flight, pursued by a large crowd whose object was to lynch him, Saved from the crowd by the DO. lice, Jackers took refuge in lions cage in the circus. The tent was immediate ly surrounded by an exasperated multi. tude, who had a regular fight with the police and a number of soldiers.
 The authorities succeeded with great difficulty in preventing the rioters from cutting tho ropes holding the scaifold- ing of the circus together. After several hours order was restored and Jackers, who had been calmly awaiting the end of the disturbance under the guard of his lion Sultan, came out of the cage and gave himself up to the police.

One Of tho Most Remarkable Natural
 Wonders of stontana.
 Reference Co the natural wonders of Montana, particularly the chicken broth and bichloride springs, brings to light others of equal magnitude. Colonel John Doyle's wonderful vinegar mine in Beaverhead county passes the domain of doubt into the sunlight Of truth It is backed by crisp aflidavits, and aiii- davits cost one dollar each in Montana The colonel and his partners did not couiine themselves to vinegar They discovered a mountain Of pure alum in the Beaverhead range,

They keptfthe find secret for several weeks, during which shaft was sunk to the depth of 200 feet The cut was made all the way through solid vein whole mountain was composed of it. A large pile of stuff was hoaped near the mine ready for shipment, and the miners had scheme 10 food the market with their product and rake in $l,000, 900 at one fell swoop. Monday the coionel's partner went to town to lay in supply of grub and the former remained behind to guard the treasure
 During the morning heavy rain be gan to fall and continued all day, aud in the afternoon the colonel had occasion to go down into the mine, making the descent by sliding down the rope, and when once down at the bottom was so taken up with contemplation of his novel and wonderful mine that he did not heed the feeting hours until he hap. pened to cast his eyes upward and saw that daylight had faded from the mouth of the shaft Hr started to climb up- ward, but had proceeded more than half way when. to his horror, he discov- cred that the heavy fall of rain had so thoroughly saturated the alum sides of the shaft that, as natural result. they had drawn together until the hole was scarcely large enough for a man tocrawl through
 The imprisoned man recognized his awful position, and without losing much time struggled toward the top of the shaft. Every foot be advanced the shaft became smaller, and for the last ten feet he was compelled to dig his way with a pocketlSnite, and when he finally reached the surface he was com. pletely exhausted, his clothes were torn and his body badly bruised The rain, which was still falling, soon revived the colonel and he started toward the camp to meet his partner to whom he related his marvellous experience.
 Together they started to their mine or at least tried to, for although they searched for two days they were unable to find any sight of their late posses sions. The rain had undoubtedly thor oughly and tightly closed up the dis covery shaft and melted away every sign Of the alum piled on the outside, so that to this time il has been impossible to find any trace of the mine.-Omaha Rpa

Out of l4s building beTths on the Clyde only forty-uine are now in use. The in. dnstry employs in good times from 50,- 900 to 60.000 men. and it follows that there are 30, QUO or 70, 900 men not work ing on the Clyde who would be em- ployed there if all the yards were in full operation. About one.third of this mum.

Apart from the "inyestment of capita" question, Somersby rectory is likely in years to come toproye the Mecca of Tennyson enthusiasts, and in that way might be made a source of perpetual profit in the hands of private owner, although confess that should like to see it the property of the nation.

As narrated by Edward Wa,:ord in his "Greater London, Frederick, prince of Wales, sometimes visited Alexander Pope at his villa. On one occasion when the prince was on visit, Pope, after ex- pressing the most dutiful professions of attachment, gave his royal highness an opportunity of observing very shrewdIy that his tthe pset'sl love for princes was inconsistent with his dislike for kings, since princes may in time become kings, Said his royal highness;
 "Mr. Pope, hear you don't like princes"

 Well, then, you don't like kingstn
 Sir, must own that like the lion best before his claws are grown.

rates for transportation to those markets may not come within
your jurisdiction. Elevators are instrumentaities upon which
our people are as dependent as upon the railroads and both have
been placed by the highest courts of the United States in the
same class and made subject to the same public supervision as
common carriers; BY combination the companies engaged in the
business have absolutely put an end to competition. The only
recourse left to our people is to make such legislation as will be
constitutional and give us a free and open market. You have
ample power to 10 this.
There is another subject in this connection which ought to re-
ceivc your careful attention and consideration, which is, the tax
alton of elevators. The elevator companies under our present laws,
by shipping their wheat out of the State a short time before the
date fixed by law for the assessment of personal property, virtually
escape taxation. by this means a business which ranks first in
the State contributes comparatively little to the public revenue Of
ignored the observance of laws respecting their government
and taxation, on the alleged grounds that they are unjust and un-
constitutional. A careful and thorough examination of these laws
such claims are we'll founded, such laws should be repealed and other
laws enacted, so that the legislation will be fair and just to both
the companies and the people, and upheld by the courts of the
panies will respect and observe such laws in good faith.
Our first experience in this State with the Australian election
law, has shown it's provisions as to how the ballot shall be marked
by the voter, to be too indefinite and conflicting. To serve as a
guide to the average citizen, 1 would recommend that the law be
so amended as to make the method of marking the ballot clear
beyond a doubt, and to make the act OF voting as plain and simple
as possible.
1t may become necessary for me to communicate with you
further by special message, after acquanting myself with the
reports of our State officials and boards of our State institutions.
And now, gentlemen, in conclusion, L wish to assure you that 1
shall cooperate with you, with reference to your Legislative duties,
in every way tina, 1 can. 1t will be my constant aim and desire to
good feeling and harmony will prevail throughout the entire SEES
sion, and that you will fully succeed, by proper and we'll considered
legislation, in remedying the evils and in faithfully executing the
trust, to which 1 have called your attention, with that degree of
economy that characterizes faithful public servants; and that when
you shall have finished your labors here and returned to your
respective homes, you will deservedly receive such words of vel
come and of commentator, respecting the discharge Of your
duties while here, as only come from pleased and grateful con-
stituents.
