The editors of TIE TINES earn a
livelihood by. the dissemination of news.
II should be understood, therefore.
that we are always on the lookout. fol
all items which will prove of interest
10 our patrons. We appreciate as a
favor and token of friendship re-
mlnder of transporting events. that they
may be given such publicity AS they de-
serve, according to their influence for
good. 1t is our. constant aim to bene-
ut the public. Practicing this princi-
pie, then we applaud events, which
tend to higher civilization, Il purer
moral atmosphere, and on the other
hand, condemn those occurrences
which debase mankind. However
much we may desire to keep abreast of
the times by giving all the news and
proper applause to good works. We FIRE.
quently, by oversight or other una
voidable circumstance, find that our
soheitude has awaited us naught, and
that We have ''left undone those things
which We ought to have done. and
done those things which We ought not

things with desire. to impress upon
the public the fact that we want, the
news, we want to mention all good
works. and that should we at any time.

We were asked this week the mean
ing of ratio of is to L. as so frequently
used in discussing the free coinage of
silver. Coins Financial School an
swers this question in the plainest Ian
guage possible, and we quote from it
The ratio between silver and gold
prior to 1878, in the United States. was
fixed at 10 to /. and for the purpose of
coming token silver dollars, is still the
ratio. That is, the silver i'm silver
dollar is just sixteen times as heavy as
the gold in gold dollar. Or to reverse
il, the gold in gold dollar is just one
sixteenth the weight of the silver in "A
silver dollar" This is perfectly plain.
Nor the purpose of education, and so
far as in us lies the ability. We would
be glad to answer any and all questions
plating TO this subject, from any person
interested. Send in written questions
when convenient, and we will print
them and our answer in column re-
served for such grand work.

HEN FRUIT.

The hen is mighter than the wheat
field or the cotton-feld. The annual
value of our egg and poultry products
is estimated TO be not less than $500. :
900 900, or considerably more than the
value of the wheat crop. Edward
Atkinson, an expert in economical
statistics, is quoted as saying that the
value of the poultry products is
greater than the product of the iron
furnaces, about twice the value of the
wood product, and three or four times
the value of the silver mines" And
yet in spite of the energy of the Ameii
can hen, she has not been able to keep
up with the home demand. According
to the American Economist. we import
ed from 1885 to 1890, ON an average,
moret han $4,000, DOC, 900 dozen eggs
yearly.

AS between the interests of those
who have business with England, or
other foreign, countries, or are affected
thereby, and for whom it is claimed our
standard of money must be gold, and
heinterests of those whose trade is en-
trely domestic, and to whom the
double standard will certainly be a
God send, enabling them to pay debts
contracted when money was more pen-
tful, and which they can never hope
to pay under the single standard, with
that standard constantly approaching.
we are unhesitatingly in favor of the
latter. 1t is authoritatively published
that "only per cent of the business of
the people OF this nation is carried ON
with foreign countries, and part of
this per cent with silver using nations.
While 90 per cent of the business of our
people is domestic transactions" 1t is
democratic principle to legislate SO as
TO accomplish the greatest good to the
greatest number, hence We favor the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
lb to /. which is about the natural ratio
of the available product.

ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF.

An Unfortunate Fellow Who Has Bar
rel of Grit.
Montgomery Sherwood was brought to
this city yesterday morning to receive
surgical attention for his foot which he
cut while chopping wood with an AK
about 10 miles up the canyon. The wound
bled profusely and DIR. Lesser took seven
stitches to close ii up.
Sherwood is cared for at the Arlington.
He is a man of about so years of age and
a most unfortunate fellow. He was a
soldier in the late war and was wounded
in three different engagements. After
the war he settled in New Orleans where
he nearly died with yellow fever. A few
years later smallpox gave him a serious
seige and deprived him of tho sight of one
eye.
Then he came to Montana, hoping to
change his luck, but fate still pursues
him. While working in quartz mill, his
hand was mashed into a misshapen men,
ber by q heavy wire screen falling upon it.
1t was only by chance that he did not
bleed to death yesterday, and only the
fact that the blow was light prevented his
cutting the foot off entirely.
In spite of all his misfortunes Monte, as
his friends call him, is a happy disposi-
toned man and says of all his troubles (:

WEARY OF THIS LIFE
Bruno Frankel Applies Morphine
Rather IndiScriminately.
HE IS PULLED BACK AGAIN
A Despondent Clerk of NJ. S. Asch-
helms establishment Who
Believed All His Friends
Have Deserted Him.

Bruno Frankel attempted to shuttle
off this mortal coil yesterday morning
by the morphine route.
Bruno is a young man of about 20
years of age who came to this city
from Utah about two months ago, in
the employ of NJ. S. Aschheim, a well
known merchant. The young man is a
nephew of Mr.. Aschheim, and he was
given position with prospects for ad-
vancement, but he did not seem to
understand his opportunity. He did
not pay strict attention to business,
and squandered his salary in twisting
the tail of the tiger Moreover, he
has not seemed right in his head for
some time. He has a brother in Utah
and cousin to whom he appealed for
money, but it was refused him. This
made him very Respondent, and he
told several people that he wanted to
die because all his friends had deserted
him.
Yesterday morning he opened up the
store as usual and was around until
after the morning mail was opened,
and with 1t received letter from a
cousin refusing to help him further.
Then he wanted to die right away. and
went to his room in the rear of the
store. where he swallowed enough
morphine to kill so men. He shortly
after told Fred Josephs what he had
done.
Medical aid was at once summoned.
Doctor Spelman and Doctor Stephens
were first to arrive, with Doctor Doug
las and Doctor Lesser not far behind.
The physicians promptly applied a
stomach pump and relieved that organ
of its contents, poisonous and other
wise. Bruno was, however, well under
the influence of the drug, but by dint
of much labor and active exercise he
was finally brought around to a con-
dition that favors his complete restora-
ton to the world and his sorrows. He
was taken to st. AIMS hospital last
evening, to recuperate and rest.

been cold. with occasional frosts.
Some attention is being paid to the
cultivation of corn, which heretofore
has not proved a success.
In the southern portions. cold nights
have been the rule. Two light rains,
during the middle of the week. Light
frosts in this section in the early part
Of the week, but no damage reported.
Reports from Western Montana are
very encouraging. Crops are reported
as having taken a new start since the
rains, especially grain, which is said to
be in prime condition. Grass is also
doing well, although il is thought to be
behind the crop of last season. Oats
in this section are in excess. and there
has been an increase of so per cent in
acreage. The fruit and berry crop is
better than the average year. Apple
trees are in good condition. and the
yield is expected to be large. Small
fruits have suffered but little from frost
in this district.
In the Gallatin valley II is reported
that the potato bugs have made their
appearance and are doing some injury
to the vines.
Sheep shearing has st-.rted in some
localities but this industry will not be
under full headway until next month.
From reports already received. il is
considered safe in saying that the clip
will be large.

A few tiny threads In the web OF life,
Touched, and parted. and touched in the strife.
One was strong. and bright, and gay;
Another was fra gle. and soft, and gray:
one gt.ered with the simmer OF gold,
The other was gaudy with color bold
The strong bright thread and the gaudy ray
started together IN life's great fray;
The garish cOlors wore duh and old.

J. b. English and Ben Caspar drove

ground in which they are interested

spent a week in the mountains. From
a cleanup made while they were on

have been in litigation until last week,

of Messrs. English, Caspar and Judge

Director r. W. Crawford of the
Weather Bureau, has issued the fol-
lowing crop bulletin for Montana un-
der date of May q:
The long dry spell of the past 10 days
has been broken by refreshing showers,
which have been general throughout
the state.
: Although the amount of precipita-
ton has been light in most sections. it
has been the means OF restoring con-
fidence to the rancher and stockman.
Gardens and grain fields have shown
marked improvement since last
weeks report. Ranges have also made
considerable progress, and feed is still
sufficient for stock. which at the pres
ent time is in excellent condition.
Ihe only cause for alarm is on ac-
count OF the frosts. which have oc-
CURED at intervals, and in most agri-
cultural districts. The extent of the
injury from this ource is reported light,
but the cold nights have had a ten
dency to retard the growth of vegeta-
ton and grain.
High winds have prevailed in most
districts. which is causing the ranges
TO dry up.
Heavy frosts are reported in the
northern portions; in this section prai-
rie fires are doing considerable damage

100 miles Of range has been burnt over.
