Our Public Schools.

f. A. Preston, one of the school
trustees, called at the school on Monday
last and states the he visited both de-
partments. In the department under the
supervision of Miss s. E. Curtis he found
in attendance t~ifty-one scholars, ranging
between the ages of 6 and IL years
The children were very punctual in their
attendance, at the hour of nine every
child being in its place and eager t take
up the stndies of the day. Perfect order
was kept and the children were handled
in the best manner possible. Miss
Curtis is fully equal to her task of teach
ing.
Professor Bryant's school was next
visited and the scholars present number
ed forty-four. The arithmetic class was
reciting. and his scholars acquitted them
selves with honor. The professor is very
painstaking with his pupils and conveys
knowledge to them in the easiest and
most direct manner. The new organ in
this department is quite as interesting
feature. Songs are sung and the elias
marches to the music of this instrume
TO and from the room at inter-
missions. Miss Gertie Tierney presides
as organist, and is a great help to the
school.
Both teachers are encouraged in the
outlook for the years work and would
like the parents of the children to assist
them in enforcing strict attendance. II
good attendance ia not kept up the par
ents of n~onattendants may at any day
expect to receive a call from the board
for an explanation and if such cannot
give a sufficient excuse the law provided
in such cases will Ike enforced.

Rocky MOUNTAINS, Mont,
August 5, 1894.
Dear friend Abbott: The spirit
moves me to write you this Sabbath
morning. and | will do so.
First let me thank you for the batch
of HERALDs you sent me, and which |
received ut ~Choteau-they were eagerly
read by all of us, and our onward course
for a week or two could easily he follow
ed by the HERALDs left in our wake.
To-day am watching several hundred
pounds of deer meat being smoked and
dried. We shot several deer two days
ago and it took all four horses to pack
the meat into camp. There is nothing
but deer and grouse where we are
camped now, which | think is on a fork
of the Flathead river. The country is a
hard II to travel through and we see no
sign of any white men having been
through it before. When we will get
out of the mountains | don't know, but
rather think it will he on the Great
Northern, up north.
A week ago we exhausted our grub
supply and Jimmy Kyle and | went
after more with the horses, leaving
"Curley' Adams in camp. 1t was Il
hard trip of over 200 miles to Choteau,
and we had to chop trail for over fifty
miles, but we got there, and loaded up
with Hnnr hunnn foo IL, ntn No.,
sorry to say that no HERALDs awaited us.
The gentleman that runs the 'Montan-
ian" had II which took. When we
got back we found "Curley" eating his
last meal and taking his last smoke; by
that mean he had devoured everything
in the camp. After that trip it would
not worry me in the slightest to start
for st. Louis or anywhere else.
You have probably been suffering
with warm weather, while we have to
wear overcoats morning and evening.
Every night it freezes hard, and there is
ice on the water bucket. Then the sun
and horse flies come out and the flies
have been a veritable plague. We came
across a band of white goats with their
young ones, but ulu not XIII any. we
also saw beaver at work gnawing down
trees.
wish you could see u camp right
now, and if | was an artist | would draw
it. recline in the 'tepec" writing you;
"Curley" is covering an old saddle with
deer hide; Jimmy is repairing a sinch
On each side of the tent is a huge fire
and poles with meat hung over them,
while the horses are raising HI in an
alleged fly bowery. But | must quit
writing as my paper is limited.
We have struck mineral, but not gold
and nothing else will pay in this tumble
of rocks.
Remember me to all the boys.
Believe me your sincerely,
JAMES S. GORDON.

Friend Abbott: since writing YOU
the enclosed note we have passed through
a great wilderness and there has been no
chance to send any mail. We continued
our course down the Flathead River I'M
til we emerged from the mountains near
Columbia Falls. The whole blooming
river in almost all canyon and is the
toughest country to work through lever
saw. We forded the stream about 20
times a day and chopped trails; our grub
gave out and we lived on salmon trout,
berries and grouse. We then worked
our passage down to the Blackfoot Res
~ervation and then to this place. From
here we are going to Great Falls. My
health is A / at Lloyds. l have not

The Democrats Of Neihart and
Those Of Monarch Hold Null
LITIGATION Meetings.
TRYING TO COUNT THE NOSES.
1t Was q Time When AgnOSticS
and Blow. Hards Get in
Their Work.

The remnant of democracy, rs it
draws up its diminutive proportions in
the Belt mountains, gathered itself to-.
gethcr last Saturday evening, both at Nei-
hart aud at Monarch. Very little en-
thusiasm characterized either meeting,
but the comical situations presented are
impossible to overlook. In Neihart they
met in Mix's hall, a dozen or so demo-
Gratis with an audience of twenty popu-
lists and as many republicans.
They began by e~lecting R. G. Vaughn
and W. d. Graham linen worthy to be
found in better political company to
the Offices respectively of chair and sec.
rotary, and the fun began. Seeing the
democrats in a measily minority, Andy
Wilson called for a rule to govern vot-
ing, in the fear that the populists might
ring in vote on them. In the discussion
which follows it became evident that
some of the professed democrats had a
strong populist flavor which could be
detected every time they opened their
mouths.
Mr.. Wilson, aforesaid. who seemed to
be about the only democrat present en-
thusiastic enough to make a motion,
moved that a committee of three he ap-
pointed to slate a list of delegates and
alternates for the convention. This was
| agreed to and james Mathews, Dan
Condor, and r. M. Raymond were placed
on said committee.
There was a sentiment in the
meeting against putting members of
the Miner force OF the delegation. Then
it was distinctly understood that Mar
shall Murphy was not to go on the dele
CATION. The promulgators of the latter
sentiment prevailed, and thus a forcible
adherant was peremtorily turned down.
H. B. Mitchell was given a place on the
delegation but Alex Wright was abrup-
ly left on the outside. The delegation
was slated as follows:

OVER THIRTEEN THOUS-
AND FEET.

What glorious day was We'd
nesday, Dec. 27th, %! Just
enough wind to fill a sal and lust
enough heat to make it warm
day.
1t was the day set apart for the
grand balloon ascension and
double parachute leap by the
O'Dell Balloon Company, and a
greater treat was never given to
the people of Edenton. Prof.
O'Dell used his brand new bal
loon, - feet high, and the aero
nauts were kid" Raymond, the
youngest aeronaut in the world,
and the dog Snowfall"
Precisely at $50 P. m, the pro-
lessor started the fire, and twenty
five minutes later, the order LET
go Everybody " was given, and
the balloon gave one bound, and
was soon a small object in the
sky. What a pretty sight it was
There was not single cloud to
be seen, and as the handsome
balloon scared skyward, the large
crowd who had come to witness
1t gave forth shouts of admiration.
Soon after leaving the ground the
daring boy began a regular
trapese act, hanging from the
hoop of the parachute by his
hands, legs, and toes. When
about 5000 feet high Prof. O'Dell
fired a pistol, and the dog was cut
loose, and slowly descended to
the earth. Then every eye was
turned to the boy, who had now
become almost invisible, and on
a second signal he also cut loose,
and the parachute opened imme-
d1ately. Slowly and slowly he
descended from that terrible
helghth, sometimes seeming to
be at a standstill, suspended in
the air. What little wind there
was carried him III a northeast
erly direction, and he reached
terra fr1na in an open field about
one mile from the starting point.
Itwas the grandest and most
successful balloon ascension ever
witnessed in this section, and the
estimated heighth the balloon
reached was little over 1900
feet. Madame Lecna O'Del1
might have been a little jealous,
at the time, that she was not the
"1ucky" aeronaut, but from the
newspaper clippings which we
have seen, it seems that the
Madame has no need to be jealous
when she has on one occasion
reached heighth of 900 feet.
1t IS the intention of the O'Dell
Balloon Co., of which Professor
'ODell is manager, to give anoth-
er grand ascension in a few
weeks time, with another new
balloon capable of carrying three
aeronauts at one time, OH which
occasion the pretty Madame will
ascend, with two others. We
wish them the success they we'll
deserve.

ON THE NEW YEAR.

"Tread softly and speak low,
for the old year lies dying, said
Tennyson. Yes, eighteen hun
dred and ninety-three has gone!
A remarkable year 1t was with
its joys and its sorrows, with its
tragedies and its comedies, with
its realities and frivolities. When
we look back on it, werealize how
swiftly it came and went. 1t
was as a dream of the night, ling
ering for a few moments and
then passing away. 1t brought
to us all many a possibility,
many a joy, and many a sorrow.
How often were we disappointed
by things not turning out as we
had wished them to do! How tar
short have we came of accom-
plishing what we would surely
accomplish! What a great num-
Der of things we did that we had
no idea we would do, and left I'M
done so many things that we
were quite sure we would do. But
thus it is all along through life.
We plan and devise. Hope and
expectation often lead us where
reason if1eft free, would tell us
we could not go. The experiences
of the past are not always taken
as guides, and we only too often
think that we can succeed III the
future by using the same means
which caused us to fail IN the
past. Let us, however, re1ne1n-
Der that in entering on this new
wear, if we wish to be more sue
cessful in our vocation than we
were last year, we must profit by
mast experiences. A man that
fails to do this is a blind man, or
else an idiot. We must remem-
Der what course of conduct caus-
ed us to fail last year, and avoid
that same course in the future.
The year eighteen hundred and
ninety-four opens up before us
with bright prospects for the
people of the South While mon
ey is not plentiful by any means,
vet our people generally have
enough to eat and to spare. They
are in a position and condition
to do great things, if they will
simply use determination, persls-
fence and common sense. 1t is
useless to say that a man cannot
make a decent living in this
country. He can do it. Honest
toll and honest dealing accom-
panied by upright living will al.
ways bring the lessings OF
health, clearness of mind and CON
science faith in mankina and
what is most essential, theRec-
essaries of life.-Suffolk ObserVSJ
