Beekman, democr attic
member, insisted that the committee
should give some reason for the gov

whether the bills had been passed by
the constitutional senate or the other
body. The latter was not legal body

appeared to him like the Slawese twins.
The speaker ordered the report spread

CINcINNATI, Feb. "a special to the
Commercial Gazette from Harod sburg,
KY, says so masked men rode up 70 the
house of Samuel Milton, near here, in
Washington, broke open the door, and
while heavy guard stood watch over
Milton the rest of the mob dragged Mrs.
Milton out Of bed and in view of her
husband gave her 80 lashes with hickory
switches. The one garment the regu-
lators left on her was torn into shreds
before they finished. They left, saying
the punishment was because she was
suspected of in6delitY. Mrs. Milton
was Miss Matthesy, and is celebrated
for her beauty. Her husband procured
divorce to marry her and about that
time shot the father of his first wife,
who had attacked him in court. A fierce
feud broke out and several deaths re-
suited, one man being hanged for muir

A Resident of Butte Tells What He
Saw on the Pacific Coast.
CROWDS OF UNEMPLOYED
Well Dressed Men Hunting UseIessly 70
WorL-TOO Proud to Beg and Too
Honest to- Steal.

BUTTE, Feb. 12.-Ex-Alderman j. r
from a four months visit along the
Pacific coast and through California.
He went away when times were dull
here to look for a better town than
Butte, but his search proved futile and
he is glad TO get back again among his
friends. Mr.. Richardson says that the
people of Butte have no idea what the
expression "hard times" means. In
California he saw hundreds of we'll
dressed men, who had never been ac-
customed to hard work, engaged in al
most always useless search for any
kind of employment, no matter how
rough or dirty the work might be. On
spite of their genteel appearance. hard
ly any of the men had a cent in their
pockets or knew where their next meal
was going to come from. Nearly all
of them were too proud to beg and their
well-dressed appearance would have
told against them had they resorted to
that plau.
San Francisco, Mr.. Richardson says,
is rapidly filling up with the class of
men described above, who are fiocking
out there in great numbers in the hope
of finding some employment around the
midwinter fair. They usually land in
San Francisco nearly dead broke and
the great majority of them will be com
PEELED to walk back to their eastern
homes. He also says that times are
worse in San Francisco than anywhere
else on the Pacific coast.

BUTTE'S NEW LIBRARY.
More Than goo Applications Were Made
for Membership.

More Than 200 Applications We're Made
for Membership.
The Butte free public library is now
open to the public and in one important
respect at least Butte is placed on a
level with eastern people of twice its
size, where people will think of Butte
only as a wild and uncultivated mining
camp. The interest which was shown
in the library and the unexpectedly
large attendance at the reading room
are conclusive proof that the citizens
of Butte fully appreciate the great
storehouse of knowledge and entertain
ment which is now at their disposal,
and that they intend to make free use of
it, Fully 500 people visited the library
on its obening day, and those of them
who had not seen it before, and they
were in the majority, were greatly sur
prised both at the big stacks of books
and at the comfortable quarters pro-
vided for the librarian and his assis-
tants and the general public.

The Forrest City Times makes the following pertinent observations;
 "The talk of Hard Times does much to depress the country. If one stops to think of the great amount of rot made use of by the chronic srumbIer and dry goods box politi- elan we find it extremely ineonsist= e6t with his surroundings. People don't think, when they howl hard times. We assert without fear of successful contradiction that every industrious citizen in the county is in better shape today from a dnan- eial standpoint, than be has ever been in ten years. Take the farmer who has raised Scent cotton. He used 10 get 10 cents for cotton, and pay from $ to f10 per barrel for flour He had short crop, too This year he has as much as he can pick and can buy for cash as much flour as he wants at B per barrel. Other things are in proportion. Be- sides he has begun to practice the all important lesson of living at home He has his corn and meat in abundance. Take the man who works on a salary or for wages. We assert that hustling, live people can always secure employment Suppose a man has been constantly employed for ten years. He receives the same salary today as when first he entered the service of his employer, perhaps more, if he has endeavorad to be q faithful and interested emploge Is il not a fact that his salary will buy nearly if not quite twice us much clothing and provision now as it would ten years ago? And yet we hear most pitful walls, occasionally, from this very class, about hard times. The trouble lies in this, that there are too many people trying to live by their wits and without labor, and too many living beyond their means, who can net or do not pay their debts promptly. The remedy is, produce something, live within your income, pay your debts when  due, and work, work, work There is no place for idlers, and tbe indus trious haveut time to growl about Hard Times.
