papers which are advocating Anaconda
for the capital extul the merits Of Butte
rs "a market place. They say nothing
about Anaconda in this connection
however. Butte was in the capital
race two years 80 and it is II wonder
these papers did M then discover that
Butte Was the place for the capital
Butte will probably continue to he a
good market even if Marcus DAILY
should not realize his real estate
dream.

The bill for the suspension of annual
representation on mining claims was
introduced in congress 10y Montana's
faithful representative, and largely
through his efforts has been passed
through both branches of congress,
aud has been awarded the approval of
the prophet. This bill is Of great bene-
tit la ~prospectors in this state and it is
a sad commentary on the state of
affairs brought about 10y the blind
hatred of the Democratic administra-
ton for silver. Men who own mines
that ought To be employing labor at
good wages and producing money to
relieve the financial distress, are in
many cases unable to expend the N
hundred dollars required by law to
keep their title good. The bill requires,
however, hat "A notice of intention TO
hold and work n claim in good faith,
shall Ice filed with the county clerk and
recorder on or before the last day of
the year, otherwise the holder of an
unpatented claim does not receive any

clipped from the Neihart Herald OF

gressive, full of courage and manly
force. His walk is straightforward,
exemplary and wholly unostenta-
tious. His thought is of a high order,

The following will give some idea of
the character of men the Republicans
are nominating for office this year:
Major Upham, the Republican nomi-
nee Tor governor of Wisconsin, enlisted
in the union army when he Wa a mere
boy and was badly wounded at tire
first battle Of Rull Run. The news
reached his home at Racine that he
was killed, aud the report was not cor
rected until after his funeral sermon
had been preached. President Lin
coin saw him lying in the hospital and
appointed him "a cadet at the West
Point military academy. He grad
uated in due course and was assigned
to the fifth artillery. After serving a
few years he resigned and engaged in
business. Some years ago he estab-
lished works for the manufacture of
furniture, around which the thriving
village of Marshtield has been built"

against the changes and the press Of the
state, with few exceptions, oppose q

pany Is now furnishing the school
books used In this state. The prices
paid that concern are much higher
than other publishing houses agree to
furnish equally as good. If not better,

ent series Of school books IL reduced we
are Of the opinion that change should
be made.

about six years ago and the howl Of
