The new law puts an end to the
power Of the booster and rounder a t
the polls. The voter formerly crowd
ed up to polling place, was be-
set on ever hand by electioneerers !;
if he was an intelligent, indepen-
dent man, he came with his ballot
prepared, or picked up from the
judges table, and voted it, but his
vote was watched by mob, and
his action criticised.

The illiterate voter comes face to

the intelligence of others in order

is possible to do so; only under the
Australian ballot system is pos
sible.

MoNTANA's governor evidently has an
intellectual wife. Her remarks in pre-
senting the gold nail to Mrs. Potter
Palmer on Monday were as follows: Il
beg to present Montana's contribution
to Mrs. Palmer as the honored president
of this grand symbol of a progressive age,
the Woman's building of the world, the
first and final element of its cohesive
architecture, a nail. 1t is wrought from
the precious metals OF the state we love,
typical of purity and endurance, intrin-
sic merit aud permanent worth. Pro-
tected by a shield emblematic Of our
universal sisterhood, it is presented as
the last golden link in the chain of hap.
Ply circumstances that made possible this
monument to the progress of women,
and with the fervent prayer that it may
add momentum to the new era that is
dawning for the sisterhood OF the world"

Why Snow Falls In Flakes.

Snow falls to the earth in flakes be-
cause it Is water solidiied in starlike
crystals, each snowflake being usually
made up Of several crystals, which are
excessively light on account of the large
quantity Of air among the frozen parti-
cles. The snow crystals arise from the
slow passage of the water vapor of
clouds, when the temperature falls be-
low freezing point, into the solid condi-
ton, the fairylike transformation taking
place by the molecule or smaltess indie
pendent particles of the water grouping
themselves with the utmost mathemat-
zeal regularity around different centers.
Each crystal Of snow, as Of anything
else, is therefore a more or less perfect
geometrical solid. The most complete
snow crystals are formed in a clear at
mosphere, where there is nothing to re-
tard the gradual process Of c~rystalliza-
ton or molecular construction. Rain,
on the other hand, being a liquid, falls in
drops.-London Tit-Bits.

IT is greatly to be hoped hat an
agreement may be reached between
Mayor Gelsthorpe and the members Of
the council before the next meeting Of
that body SO that the new city admins
tration may get into working harness as
Dol as possible. We believe that the
republican members will be disposed to
act fairly in the matter, as thay must
know that the mayor hes a right to Sc
lect such officers as he sees fit, and they
are at liberty to attempt to Illustrate his
wishes only in cases where unsuitable or
incompetent men are named. Mayor
G~elsthorpe was more than fair to the re-
publicans in dividing the offices with
them, and the only decent or proper
course for the council is to confirm these
nominations without further ado. On
the converting Of the council at its next
meeting the mayor will probably present
the names, and if the republican mem
bers are wise and patriotic they will con-
firm them at once. If they fail to do so
the mayor should at once revise his list,
wedding out every republican, and make
a clean sweep, naming a democrat for
every office in his gift. The way to fight
the devil is with fire.

they are no Legitimate part of the great

Government Printing.

Some prodigiously large volumes have
been printed at the government print
ing Office in a. wonderfully short time.
Forinstance, the Revised Statutes, which
constitute a volume of 1893 closely
printed pages, were set up, proof read
three times, printed and delivered in
bound form to the house of representa-
tives between 5 o'clock, p. H., on a
Wednesday aud 12 o'clock, moor on the
following Sarurday-an interval of only
ca hours. Perhaps the greatest work Of
printing ever undertaken anywhere was
the publication Of 10000 copies Of the
records of the wal of tho rebellion i'll 100
royal octave volumes of 800 pages each,
at a total cost of 81, 2G0, 900 for printing
and binding.
This single publication will require
over $4,000 printers reains of white pa
per to print it, and the composition will
probably exceed 300, 900, coo, 900 ems.
There will he when tho work is finished
not less than 1,200, 900 actual books of
$50 pages each. These figures dwarf
those of the largest encyclopedia ever
published in any country or in any Ian
guage.-Washington Star.

\ dispatch from Warsaw, Russia.
says: "A dozen prosperous tradesmen
and their wives are under arrest at
J~elisawetrad, government of Chersson,
for an unprecedented offensc against
Russian marriage laws and morality.
While at a wine supper recently the II
mon agreed to exchange wives. On the
following day the agreement was exc
cuted with the consent OF the women.
Within ten days several of tho newly
made couples were in a state of domestic
warfare, and five of the women insisted
that the agreement should be declared
off and that each woman should return
to her former husband. Several of the
men and women refused to resume the
old arrangement, and eventually the five
discontented ome appealed to the
courts. Warrants were issued at once
for the 2l offenders" Such a scheme
would not work evcn if the law allowed
it, for in spite Of the evils of these days
more marriages are still made in heaven
than at wine suppers.

CHICAGO, May 2.-President Palmer of

a banquet at the Auditorium hotel to.
night in honor Of the Duke of Veragua.
The diners met in the banquet hall on
the parlor floor Of the Auditorium. The
long apartment was decorated in scarlet
and yellow-the colors of Spain flags
and banners of those hues we're arranged
along the walls and over the doors. On
the tables were magnificent nosegays Of
flowers, scarlet and yellow, and each
guest showed respect to SPANS repre-
sentative by wearing a boutonnaire Of
the same colors. The entire affair was
Castilian as far as possible. All the
dishes were such as the duke is accus-
toned to having in his native country,
and the menu card was printed in Span
ish.
The usual toasts were made and tho
discoverer OF America and his descendant
were especially honored. The duke re-
sponded in a neat speech which evoked
much applause, and then the assembly
drank to Spain and America" ''The
Worlds Fair" and sundry other things.
Among tho speakers were G. II. DAVIS,
Presidents Hlgglnbotham and Palmer,
and Gov. Altgeld.
The duke started out this morning to
see Chicago, and the first thing he did
was TO call upon Mayor Harrison at the
lattcr's office. The party then called

THERE is 4 genuine Indian scare in
Colorado as 5000 Nayajos are threaten
ing to go on the ~warpath in the south
western part OF the state. Referring to
the tribe editorially the Denver News
says: The Navajo reservation is in
Northwestern New Mexico and North
eastern Arizona, and reaches up to the
south line Of Colorado. The nearest ex-
posed settlements are the Montezuma
valley in Colorado and the valleys OF the
Animas and San Juan in New Mexico.
The Navajos are a bold. brave, warlike
tribe. They have never been conquered
in battle. For years the natives of New
Mexico along their frontier were little
more than herders for this bold noun
tain tribe. Kit Carson made several Of
his celebrated campaigns against them,
but he only succeeded in subduing them
by starving them out. When he march
ed into their country with a strong force
the Indians reiterated into their oun
tain Businesses and bid him defiance.
Carson laid waste their corn fields and
drove off their herds of cattle and sheep,
and finally forced their surrender. Hun
ger conquered them" Itsounds like old
times to hear Of an Indian outbreak, and
there is scarcely any other section Of tho
country where such an occurrence would
now be possible.

hand and a good many laboring men
who did not happen to have their checks
cashed ID the day they were issued, are

WoGLEY was evidently a sore disap-
pointment to the late mayor, and it is
not surprising that the latter finally adj
mitted that his confidence had been
grossly betrayed. He stood by Worley
as lorg as there was a chance of tho en-
gineer clearing himself of blame, but at
last was obliged to confess that he had
been deceived. So ends this phase of the
sewer matter, but some other phases of
it are still unsettled, as shown in our
local columns this morning.

lT seems that the esteemed Helena
llorald is all mixed up about our munich
pal deadlock, of which 1t speaks as fol-
lows: "Deadlocks seem likely to become
epidemic in Montana. The local par
liaments of Butte and Great Falls have
engaged in a stubborn conflict with their
respective mayors on the question of the
division of appointments. That is to
say, the republican members want them
divided, whereas the mayors, being
democrats, want to give them all to that
party. In such cases the power of the
council to confirm or reject is quite as
clearly defined as the power of the mayor
to nominate" For the information of
the Herald we will say that the new
democratic mayor of Great Falls was
disposed to divide the offices with the
opposition, and that several of his nomi-
nees are republicans.

S~CRIHNER'S FOR MAY,

The exhibition number of Scribner's
magazine is the contribution which the
conductors OF that periodical make to
the great exposition at Chicago. They
have plalned to make it as fine an ex-
ample of an American magazine as can
be produced. 1t is put forth as a rep
resentative number to show the literary,
artistic anti mechanical that
arc employed in such a publication, and
is fully representative of the individual
writer's who have made the existence of
a great magazine possible. This issue
contains nearly one. third more matter
than the regular numbers OF Scribiner's,
and the Illustrations are of extraordinary
abundance and richness, including
twenty-five full pages, two of them in
colors, the frontisplece being a repro.
duction of a pastel by Robert Blum.
On its literary side this exhibition num-
Der shows a list of contributors such
as has never been brought together be-
fore in a single issue of a magazine.
Tie opening article is an unpublished
autograph narrative by Washington,
describing in a most graphic manner
'The Braddock Calnpaign'-a manu-
script which is unique among Wash
ington relics. 1t was written ~ him
for the use of Colonel Humphreys in a
proposed biography. w. ID. Howells
contributes a charming autobiography
cal sketch entitled "The Country Print
err" which embodies ~recollections of his
youth. 1t is illustrated by A. b. Frost.
Prominent English writer's are Walter
Besant and Thomas Hardy. The Amer
can short story is exhibited at it's best
by such masters of the art as Bret
Harte, Henry James, George W. Cable,
and III. G.. Bunner.

lie all sorts of stumbling blocks. AS a

A New York daily paper, taking up
the idea conveyed in F%lammarion's ex-
citing novel, omega: The last Days of
World" has interviewed a number of
the leading men in all professions as to
what they would do if science were to
predict tomorrow that the end of the
world would arrive within the next
thirty days. The answers are various
and curious, and heighten the interest
which is felt in the second part of
Flammarion's great novel, which appears
in the May Cosmopolitan. 1t is a ques-
ton which everyone will find interest
ing to ask himself: What would you do
if within six weeks the end of the world
were certain? Probably no novel which
has ever appeared in an American mag
azine has been more deliberately illus.
