strong and automatic. 1t works indie
pendently of reason and knowledge,
but even against their teachings. The
Cincinnati Enquirer tells story which
illustrates these assertions: A man on
Lake Huron steamer. had the only spec
linen of black rattlesuale | had ever
met with. 1t was about the size of an
ordinary gartersnake and very vicious.
1t was confined in strong box covered
with thick plate glass, When anyone
would touch the glass with his finger,
the snake would strike the under side,
opposite the finger as quickly as a
stroke of lightning. The experimenter-
would always jerk away as suddenly.
There was not man on board, how
ever muscular and free, from nervous
ness, who could keep his finger to the
glass when the snake would strike, al
though knowing that it could not pos
sibly touch him. Strong men would
try it again and again, certain of their
ability to endure the test, but with the
same result.

the new president of the French repub-.
lie NJ. Felix Faure created quite sem.
sation by inaugurating new customs
or rather by reviying an old one which
had long fallen into. disuse. All the
ambassadors and ministers present, to-

and military, had been requested be-.

Narrow Escape.

Mr.. Wilson had read so much
about the danger of a certain much
talked about disease that he had
done his best to make Mrs. Wilson
and their little daughter Maud Chew
their grapes and eject the seeds, in.
stead of swallowing them, according
to the usual custom.
Maud found the new method little
to her taste, and her father had FIRE.
quent occasion to reprove her for
not minding his instructions.
One day the little girl was under
the weather, and her mother thought
it necessary to administer a dose of
medicine in the shape of two small
pellets. These, after the of
thoughtful parents, she concealed in
a spoonful of marmalade, which she
then offered to the unsuspicious pa,

A moment later she was startled
to hear Maud exclaim:

The Gay Trial.

The celebrated Gay trial closed in Hell
ena on Tuesday. The evidence was all
in by Monday noon and attorney Wat
erman for the defense spoke and made
the opening argument. County attorney
Purcell then followed, after which Lew
is Penwell made a brief address for the
prisoners life. This consumed Monday.
County attorney Gormley made the clos
ing argument Tuesday, this with the
judges instructions consumed the most
of the day. The case went to the Jury
late in the afternoon, the deliberations
of the body were short and Il verdict IF
murder in the first degree was returned
without recommendation. The case it
seems hinged on Mackey's dying state
ment that Gay>shot him, and Williams
description of the man he saw lying on
the ground twenty feet away with a
smoking gun in his hand and at whom
he snapped his gun a number of times
lifting Gay very correctly, and the fur
ther statement of DR.. Mckay that Mack
ey said he was in a STOPPING position
when he was shot. This was very es-
sential to connect Gcy with the murder.
since the bullet came out five inches
lower on the back than it entered in
front. The chief argument of the de
Tense was that a man lying on the
ground could not have fired II shot into
Mackey that would have gone the course
taken by the bail. The verdict is in ac-
cord with public sentiment here.

JayviTle lettings.

The hopes for Jayville are brighter
than ever. The main drift on the Little
Anaconda is going ahead with no mater
ial change in the formation, but the
character of the ore is getting better.
Great quantities are in sight, assaying
from SlS to $3.50 per ton and every
hing about the mine goes to convince
he lucky owners that they have Il mon
strous bonanza. On seeing Jay Hazeltine
this week we learn that work is s~tillpro-
grcssiug and that the face of the drift is
much richer in value than when they be-
gan. Agradual improvement has been
going on in the assay value, and Mr..
Hazeltine is well satisfied with his great
discovery
All eyes are turned to Jayvillc.

"A Brief Interview with Montana
Congressman.


Congressman Charles S. Hartman
came in from Bozeman Wednesday and
departed for Washington, d. c., via
the e Burlington. He sspoke very en-
couragingly of the political outlook and
said he would not be surprised to hear
of republican victories in all of the
thirteen states that held elections Tues
day. The only doubtful state he said,
was Kentucky, where local issues might
affect the result. Still he was confident
that even if the republican party did
not win, they would at least cut the
democratic majority down very mater
tally.
The outlook for silver, he said, was
gaining ground, and more interest was
being manifested every day. lie did
not believe the coming congress would
take any action looking to the restora-
lion of the white metal to its proper
place, although he said there is no
telling what might he done when con.
gress assembled.

Strike in the Peabody.

Messrs. Bennett, Nelson and Hagcrty
are feeling somewhat jubilant over the
striking of rich ore in the Peabody on
which they have Il lease and bond.
Some months past they started a shaft
in which ore was exposed running as
high as 700 ounces. Thinking a tunnel
would be more advantageous they start
ed one which would tap the shaft at a
distance of 50 feet. Mr.. Nelson, who
was working alone, found what looked
like Il stringer at a distance of 40 feet.
This was wide but low grade, hence he
followed the supposedly main vein,
which led him to II wall of granite after
running a distance of 80 feet. Coming
back to the branch he began drifting.
1t now appears that this o -callcd string
er was the main lead, it is over four
feet wide and carries five inches of
high grade spar ore. 1t is good news
for the camp that the Peabody is coming
t. the front.
