A Challenge.

AS the best brains of our race have
conceded that from the time the me-
gro was subjugated into abiect slave
ry in America, and has been the OBJ
ject of npardOnable injustice and
brutal treatment, and as the gates OF
the best society has been closed
against him, and the perpetrators
Of the wrongs inflicted upon the ne
gro, would rather kill him and bury
his hope in lifeless grave than to
accord to him the rights OF an Amer
lean citizen, Therefore owing to
the negrO's both previous and pres
eNt condition, and negligence by gem
eral and state government, during
these years of his supposed liberty,
we do not hold him responsible for
his present condition. Therefore we
have eXpOstulated that the negli-
gence and nOn-integrity of the negro
are not the cause of his present con-
ditiOn in America as race, AS this
question was debated and decided in
the affirmative at the st. Paul Liter
airy society sometime ago, the under
signed gentlemen do hereby chal-
lenge Hon. w. A. Belts and his col
league to debate on this question
at the Young Mems Building Club.
Debate to take place three weeks af-
ter acceptance. Question: Resolved,
that the present condition of the ne
gro is due to his own negligence and
non -integrity. MAT JONES.

A BOLD H0LO-UP..
The Night Bartender of the Park
Hotel Held Up and the Cash
Register Robbed.
Over Eighty Dollars Was Taken by
the Bold Masked RObber and
Then He Left.

At 1890 a. M. Tuesday in the bar-room
of the Park hotel Ed Billups, the bar
keeper, was talking with a friend when
a man with a handkerchief over his face
came in, and presenting a revolver at
the head of Billups demanded all the
money in the cash register, telling the
other man to hold up his hands and
shut up, and the barkeeper to fork over
the stuff quick, which he did, about $50
the receipts for the day. After securing
the money the robber backed out, cover
ing his two victims with his revolver,
and made his escape by the rear en-
trance. Everything was done 30 quickly
that nothing was heard in the main
Office till all was over, though two or
three men were talking with the night
clerk and did not see or hear a thing till
Billups came rushing in with a terrified
air, saying he had been held up.

The use of the insoluble azo colors,

Is diazotized and combined with naph-

France for producing designs on textile
ibers by printing, the method adopted
being the same as is now used in print
ing with the mineral colors. AS an
example the production Of a red is in
stanced, this being obtained by printing
on a color made with 400 grams water,
100 grams of the color lake made from
para-nitraniline and betanaphthol, 80
grams gum water, 40 grams albumen
liquor, IL in one, and 70 grams neu-
trail chromate Of soda. On the printing
process being accomplished the goods
are dried and steamed and then passed
into a bath containing so grams oxalic
acid and so grams sulphuric acid in
each liter, the tissues being afterward
we'll washed in water. New York Sun.

The notorious Corsican bandit, Bas.
tanasi, was a man of considerable cru
dition, had been educated at Pisa, knew
Latin and had belonged to the medical
profession. On one occasion he was
going TO Sartene on a vessel which
stopped at Ajaccio. Knowing that the
gendarmes were after him, he did not
attempt to land, but as he had a fine
voice and could also play the guitar to
beguile the time of waiting he got out
his instrument and began to sing and
play. a fisherman in the port recog-
nized the voice and likewise remem-
bered the song. He went an. informed
the authorities, and it was thus through
his love of music that Bastanasi was
arrested. II saw him land" says M.
Lewis. Tho handouts were on his
wrists, and the guitar was slung round
his neck. "-Contsmporary Review.

PHIL ARMOUR ON PORK.

Says This Is a Pork Country and in
Place of Buying We Ought
to BE Selling.
During his recent visit to this city Mr.
Armour stated when he first went tc
Kansas, comparatively speaking 70 hogs
we're raised, but he saw it would be a
pork raising section and settled down in
the midst of this promising country.
The fret year this pork establishment
received only 500 hogs, the next year
5000 and from that out the increase was
proportionate.
While here at Great Falls he saw fresh
pork from the eastern states and Oregon.
Why? said Mr.. Armour, this is all
wrong, this is a pork country. You have
no heavy rains or dews, you have an
article of barley equal to, or better than
anyother grown in the United States,
and taking these facts into consideration,
this section ought to be supplying these
other states with pork, in place Of buy
ing of them. 1t is a proved fact that
hogs fed on barley produce sweeter and
better meat and are not 80 subject to
lag cholera as those fed on corn.

SHOOTING At BARKER.
Thomas Mctrath Shoots Patrick Kin
ney at Barker for Attempted
Attack with a Knife.
The Wounded Man Is Attended BY DR.
Vidal of Neihart-No Hope of
His Recovery.

Last Sunday evening Patrick Kinney
was in a saloon kept by Thomas Nc
Grath at Barker. Details of the origin
of the row which ensued are very
meagre, some reports stating that Kin
ney was drunk, and threw a chair
through a mirror behind the bar, and
that McGrath threatened to put him
out, upon which Kinney drew a knife
and started for him. McGrath was be-
hind the bar, and seeing Kinney coming
for him with the knife, he picked up a
revolver, and shot him. The bullet
struck Kinney in the wrist, breaking the
bone, and hattening itself so doing, then
ploughed a huge cash through the
muscles of the arm to the elbow. and
penetrated the left chest about one
inch above the heart.
McGrath sent a messenger to Neihart
to fetch DR.. G. E. Vidal who at once re
paired to Barker. He found Kinney
very low, and scarcely breathing, and at
the time our informant left, it was
thought it was an impossibility for him
to live. Probing for the bullet had not
then had a successful result. Both men
are we'll known in the Belt mountains,
and unmarried. McGrath seems over
come by the unfortunate occurrence,
and paid all the expenses Of the attend
ing physician.

All tho ancient philosophers held
curious ideas respecting the growth,
functions, structure, etc., of the hair
and had many superstitions founded on
these old opinions. The early writers
on the makeup Of the human body al
most invariably refer to the hair as be-
Ing an excrement fed on substances SIM
liar to itself. They supposed that it
generated in the f%uliginous parts of
the blood; was exhaled by the heat of
the body, becoming firm and fbrous
upon being exposed to the air, just as
the fluid of the spider web does. In
these days every idea respecting the
growth and character of hair is
changed. 1t is now agreed that every
hair properly and truly lives and re-
ceives its nutriment from the body.
True, they take upon themselves the ma
ture of parasitic plants; they grow as
vegetation does, yet each has, as it
were, a distinct life and economy.
That they derive their existence from
the juices of the body there is no doubt,
but that food is not taken from the
nutritious juices, for we know that hair
will thrive even though the body starve
or be wasted by disease, or even after
the animal life has ceased to exist in
the flesh or skin to which they are at
tached. Chicago Tribune.

titled the effects Of the prisoners which
had been turned over TO HIM. The
counsel for the prosecution then desired
that a certain so cent peice and a % cent
peice be marked, their dates taken and
the two peices placed in evidence. The
marshal stated that he had conversed
with Smith after his arrest, and the
latter said he knew Wegner six years
ago in Texas. He also said he had been
stopping in town since a week last Mon
day, he stayed the first night in some
boarding house, he had since then been
at the Milwaukee house with Wegner,
also that Wegner had stood the house
off for their board. He did not say he
had been in the p~enitentiary, but did
say hat three months ago he had work
ed for Al Lincoln near White Sulphur
Springs. On the marshal examining his
papers he found some relating to q
certain Elmer E. Young who had been
IN the penitentiary, on asking Smith re-
gardlng them he said they had beer
gwen to him to take care of by a man in
Helena. The n arshal then telegraphed
to Deer Lodge and receiving the de-
scription of Young, found that Smith
was the a He had served a term of
years. The marshal then identified
revolver taken from Wegner, and
which was still loaded.
The counsel for the defence then adj
dressed the court on behalf of Smith

them be dismissed.
The prosecuting attorney replied, his
remarks tending to show that if Young
was not a principal he was an accessory
