GREETED BY THE MULTITUDE.

Everywhere Major Mckinley goes in
Ohio he is greeted with vast throngs.
His audiences are largely composed of
lnboring men, while a great many
ladies are attentive listeners. A pleas
ant incident occurred at Somerset
IL few days ago, which is related as
follows:
4 pleasing incident occurred at the Som
erset meeting the other day. When Gov
ernor Mckinley was a young lawyer in
Canton, a number OF years ago., a strike OF
considerable proportions originated among
the miners in that vicinity. Growing des-
perate through enforced idleness, a small
riot occurred at one of the mines, the par
Elephants in which were arrested and
brought to Canton for trial. Governor.
then plain Mr.. Mckinley, was engaged to
defend them. After a trial OF some length
they were acquitted and returned to their
homes. A purse was collected among them
to pay attorneys fees and a draft for some
| $500 sent Mr.. Mckinley for his services
Knowing the destitute condition OF tn,
men he returned it, saying that they could
pay him at some other time. The matter
had been forgotten until the meeting al
Somerset. Among those in attendant,
were a number of these miners. After tn,
address they called on the governor at thu
hotel and offered him the money he haG
before refused. Although not accepting
this kind tender on their part, he thanked
them cordially. When this had been don,
the spokesman of the party with tears il
his eyes grasped the governor by the hanC
and said: You helped us once and WI
have not forgotten it. If you ever wan

When it comes right down to a pr,

When it comes right down to a prob
ability of free trade or even lower
duties, there are a good many Demo-
Gratis in the country who are opposed
to IN reduction. There could be no
better evidence that the industrial
policy of the Republican party Is q
wise one, ever though men from their
environments and training virtually
cast their votes in opposition. Fol in
sta Governor McCorky of West
Virginia wants the tariff on coal let
alone, for if it is not, the wages of
thousands of men in his state will be
affected. Ex-United States Senator
David of Maryland, also a Democrat
like Governor McCorkey, appealed to
the ways and means committee to
keep its hands off the Mckinley law.
The sugar producers of louisiana and
the rice growers of Georgia have had a
word to say, and Mr.. Holden, proprie-
tor of the Cleveland Plaindesler, the
great Democratic organ, told the COM
mittee if they interfered with the tariff
OH lead ores, the workers in the lead
and silver mines of the United States
would be driven out of employment.
Such protests ought to convince reason
able men that protection is not ''rob-
bling the many for the benefit of the
few" as was proclaimed on the Demo
cratic stump last fall. Men should be
as honest before election as after.

The latest journalistic venture in
Montana is the Helena News, placed
before the critical and unappreciating
public by Messrs. Beadle & Ripley.
In its prospectus the News announces
that its OBJECT is to lido all in its power,
in an honorable way, to elect the pop
ulist ticket next year." 1t will also be
a staunch advocate of the free coinage
of silver, better government for the
state, etc., etc. geographically the
paper is handsome in appearance. 1t
is a six column folio. The first num-
Der is we'll edited, and if it does not
suffer the fate of other papers Of its
class, no doubt it will be a medium of
no small influence among the populists
of the state. H. NJ. Beadle is it's
editor.

NOTES OF THE FAIl

The flag is down on '93.
Baby shows should not be cou%ntenanced
in the future.
There was a good attendance on Wednes-
day and Thursday.
The free for all trotting race was close
and exciting. The time, 2:41e, was not so
bad for a beginning.
w. ii. Kelly wears a beautiful gold badge
by virtue OF having won the bicycle race.
Young Clark captured the silver badge.
A board fence should be built in front OF
the grand stand and no n allowed on the
track but horsemen and officers OF the fair.
not mind it half as much as II woman
would over the failure of her baby to draw
a prize.
1t is remarkable how many good natured
babies there were last Thursday. 1t is
said there was a run on the drug stores Tor
Castoria on Wednesday, however.
James Dempsey has horses that could
capture money on any western circuit
Fergus county has some good horses and
will be strictly in it in a few years.
The Warner horse, Gilt Edge. is a reliable
trotter and made good time for a horse
that has received no special training or
care. Charley Church drove him well.
What does Bill Newton know about a
baby, anyhow" said one irate mother.
Another said. Doc. Lindsey doesn't know
- ,oF.tu min from IN enrEasrau Thpra
now.
He il a nice man indeed who can tell a
good natured baby by looking at it a few
minutes. He should camp with it a whole
forenoon while it's mother is doing q
washing.
The slight rainfall on Thursday morning
and the prospects OF a bad day kept q
great many from coming in. The after
noon was pleasant and the track in good
shape though n trifie too hard.
The trap shooting contest demonstrates
that L~ewistown has some good wing shots
Mahana, John Bebb, Parker and Selvidgt
made excellent scores. Mahana made q
record OF 16 out Of 20 and Bebb 10 out
| Of 90.
While everyone who attended the race
on Thursday are thankful that Mr.. Crowley
entered his fine stallion, DIVORCES, in tn,
free for all trot, nearly every horsemar
was aware that the stallion was not well
Considering his condition and the service
to which he has been put, the horse made
a splendid race and showed the good blood
that flows through his veins. The horss
can be put in shape to cover the mile ia
less than $50.
There WAS a race against time last Thurs
day not down on the program and which
did not take place on the kite-shapeG
track. The contestants were Doctors
Lindsey and Hanson and VIM. Newton
They started by mutual consent from the
rear end OF the Anderson building aftel

giving their decision in the baby show. DIR.
Hanson picked out a track pack OF the
Day house and Chas. Lehman's store and
finished in thirty seconds at the corner of
Geo. T. Chambers Il Co.'S place. He threw
a shoe and was somewhat winded as he
came under the wire electric light wire).
Doc. Lindsey and Bill Newton got an even
send-off and for fifty yards n tarpaulin
would have covered them both-if big
enough. They came around the brick
block at a flying iib gait. hitting only the
tops of beer bottles, fruit cans and ash
heaps. Newton led on the home stretch,
but Doc. came up in good form considering
that he was a little off from his feed. 1t is
thought all three would have made better
time had they waited to hear how their
decisions were accepted.

A gentleman who came to Lewistown

A gentleman who came to Lewistown
from Kansas during the past year, says:
II used to think we could raise vege-
tables in Kansas but Montana takes
the prize, judging from what l saw at
the fair" This has been a bad grow
ing year in Montana for vegetables,
too. The early spring was too cold for
the seed while midsummer was very
dry. In favorable years and with the
friendly rivalry now aroused, the vege-
table display another season will sur
prise not only newcomers but the old
est inhabitants.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con.
troll of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When IL is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, IL will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due TO
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base OF The brain, not from q derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it,
self. The great mistake OF physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve ceutefs which
are the cause of the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist, has profoundly studied this subj act Tor
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with il, chief among
them being The facts contained in the "a UEp
statement and that the ordinary methods %
treatment are wrong. All headache, diEZi-
ness. dullness, confusion, pressure, blue.

THE FIRST PAPER.

From China It's Use Spread Over Aaia
and Thence Into Europe.
The first invention of paper MANI
factured from vegetable pulp is lost in
the mist of antiquity, says the Argosy.
1t appears to have been first introduced
into Europe from the east through tho
Arabians and Pcrsians.
The use of paper, according to the
modern application of the word, had
become common in China at an ex-
trcmcly remote period, and Gibbon tells
us in note that its manufacture was
introduced from China into Samarcand
651 B. c., and thence spread over Eu-
rope. The Chinese are said to have SO
great n variety Of pnper that each PROV
ince possesses it's own peculiar make.
The sort commonly. known as silk pa
pcris fabricated from the inner bark Of
the bamboo or mulberry tree. The rice
paper, SO called. is prepared from tho
inner portion Of the stems of q hardy
lcguninous plant that grows plentiful
ly about the lakes near Calcutta and
also in the island Of Formosa, whence
the Chinese import it in large quanti-
ties. The stems Of the plant being cut
into the proper lengths for the sheets
the pith is cut spira1ly into thin slice.
then fattcned, pressed and dried.
The Arabians appear first to have in
troduccd the manufacture of paper into
Spain. On the oldest specimen OK
tant of this Spanish manufacture n
treaty Of peace between the king Of
Aragon and ncighboring potentate,
A. D. ITS, is transcribed

How It Was Determined by a Roman
PhysioloGIat.
A scientific journal Of high repute is
authority for the statement thu Prof.
Masso, the Roman Psychologist, has in
vented a machine that will actually
give the weight Of n thought. TO
quote from tho account mentioned:
Prof. Masso showed by experiment that
the effort of thinking cnuse3 4 rush of
blood to the brain, this blood-rush va
rying in intensity according to the
thought He placed n man in the mn-
chine. which was so delicotely bal
anced that the rush of blood turned the
sscaiS. The professor says that when
tho subject is sleeping the thoughts or
visions which come to him in his
dreams arc sufficient to cause the head
to sink. below the feet, md that the
same takes place when the subject is
disturbed by slight sound.
He further declares that the balance
will indicate when person is reading
Italian and when Greek, the greater
mental exertion required for Greek pro-
ducing more profuse rush of blood to
the head.
