this thing took place only little dis

from the center of the ring, where he

he lay limp and helpless. The third

Succeed In Appearing UnsOphisticated.
The Little RAMS Ring Tactics.
A preacher told this story at a we'd

evening:

near Bloomington, he said, "when

There was a large open space in the

the space stood a ram. In the center,
but standing little at one side, was
third ram. The two rams had evidently

else they had come to settle in friend

Ram No. 3 seemed to be acting as
judge, umpire-what do you call it?
Referee? Yes, that's it, the third ram
was the referee. I don't know under
what rules the meeting took place. It
may have been Queensberry Or Rosebery.

All the guests looked the full length

one end to the brides cake in the far
perspective, and then at the preacher in
the middle distance, but nobody said
anything.

the shock was even more terrific than

''Groggy - ventured the bride.

have intimated, am not at all familiar

A Sound Institution.

Montana Illustrated: No better
illustration Of city's growth and
stability can be found than in the
condition of its banks. They show
to a marked extent its prosperity.
Prominent among the banks in the
state, that weathered the financial
storm of two years ago, the State
Bank of Neihart deserves especial
mention. 1t was organized in July,
1891, under the name of the First
National Bank of Neihart, and dur
ing the financial depression, when
silver dropped to less than sixty
cents and every other industry suf-
fered in proportion, this bank, under
wise and careful management, con-
tinued right along in business as
though nothing had happened, and
today it ranks among the best con
Quoted banks in the state.
September Is, 1894, articles of
incorporation were filed changing
the name to the State Bank of Nei-
hart, with a capitalization Of $4,000.
A glance at the list of officers is
sufficient guarantee Of its stability.
President, II. J. skinner; vice-presi-
dent, T. {. Simpson; cashier, d. J.
Condor; directors, j. 7. Arlington,
John Lepley, George Bulge, Joseph
Wagner and the officers of the Bank.

several friends, including one elan

clerk in the company store, were in
Richards butcher shop rushing the

Helmer, and Dunn who worked for
Richards, engaged in a squabble
ending in Dunn striking Helmer on
the head with cleaver, making a
nasty cut. 1t is said that others
threw bucket of water over the
wounded man and left him outside
until passers by took him to a ply
sician. Damn went to local Justice
of the peace and pleaded guilty to
charge of assault and battery paying
small fine. Several conflicting
stories are told but Dunn has been
arrested on "a charge of manslaught-

The town Of Belt has great
many good people, but the past two
years has yielded up some tragic and
CORY pages for her history. Among
the crimes reported are murder, may

arson. This says nothing of thefre-
quent accidental deaths of laborers
in the mines. The above story is
one more page, the like of which we

rounds with John McVey. He, in
company with his brother Joe and
some friends, went down to their no.

the barroom. Corbett walked up to
the New Zealander and said: "Well,
you're shooting off your mouth again
about me hunking out of that bicy-
Gle race, and that you would pull my
nose. Now, Fll do some nose pull

champion gave Roberts nose a sharp
tweak. The two men clinched, but

they were separated. t'itzsimmons
then turned upon Joe -Corbett, who

attempted to bunt him with his head.

PRESS OPINIONS.
The Party Is tho Servant, and Is
Subject to Discharge.

Basin Times: Silver is the all alb
sorbing topic of discussion of the
west. What is there that remains
for us to do? We are republicans,
all of us, and our creed is protect
I've tariff, a protection for our home
industries as against the importation
of the pauper labor of Europe. AS
much as we advocate the protective
policy of the republican party, we
also love our homes, our iiresides, the
rising generation and our chief in
dustry, that of mining. Silver is the
war cry of Montana. Give to us the
free and unlimited coinage of silver

will be the greatest wealth produc-

party that is our pride and our glory
decides to put up such man who
contains all the goldbug principles
of Grover Cleveland or others of his

we longer remain within the folds of
the party we have so long associated
ourselves with, or will we cast from
us the duty of our political belief
and proclaim that no one, even
though he contains all the pure en-
bodiments Of true Americansm will
receive our vote, if he is not in fact
a silver man in every sense of the

THE ROYAL MILLING co.
An Enterprising Institution En-
ioying Signal Success.

With special delight we devote a
few lines to leading enterprise of
North Montana. the Royal Milling
Company. This institution possesses
a plant which, for modern improve
ments and enormous capacity as well
as excellent workmanship, has scarce
ly a duplicate in the great west.
The plant is located in east Great
Falls, where they procure all their
power direct from the Black Eagle
falls of the Missouri. The Buildings
are fine large structures, prettily
and accurately pictured on neat ad-
vertising card contained in each sack
of their flour. To those, familiar or
unfamiliar with the Touring industry,
who admire unique and perfect ma
chinery, visit to this great mill
is full of interest. The company's
affairs are managed by w. NJ. At
kinson, an efficient officer, and a
most agreeable gentleman. He
takes delight in showing strangers
about the place, and is happy by
any chance to win one more patron
to the use of their choice brands of
flour.
The mill has been running stead
lily night and day for the past six
months, to supply their enormous de-
mand. 1t may be to their credit to
state that they are running only
about threefourths capacity, and
that when it comes to -four consump-
ton, their mill is larger than the
country is yet able to support. They
were somewhat disappointed in last
years yield Of wheat, as it was con-
siderably under expectations. The
acreage is said to be much larger
this year and it is to be hoped tha,
harvest will show a good sized crop
We are informed that the quantity
will hardly exceed twenty-five pei
cent Of the mills requirements. This
leads to salient question, "Whats
the matter with the Montana far
mer?' Since this mill was erected
the production of wheat in this sec.
ton has more than trebled, and still
the acreage must be increased many
times before the wheat of Montana
can supply the home demand.
The Royal Milling company man.
ufactures the celebrated Rex flour
which with other of it's product.
stands at the head, the "king" o
family Aours, without a peer. Re,
flour stands on its own peculiar mer
its, and finds ready sale in all th'
wertern states even as far as Seattle
Portland, San Francisco, and Lo
Angeles. 1t finds demand even il
markets under the sound of the Pa
cific coast mill and is preferred tc
the cheap products of soft whea
turned out by west coast competitor
We are pleased to note the success
of this enterprising company.

HE STANDS FAST In THE FAITH.
RenewS His Pledge of Fidelity
to the Whole People
of Montana.

The following sound silver talk
was delivered by Hon. Lee Mantle
at Butte on the evening of August
2nd, taken from the Anaconda Stan
dard of that date, every word of
which was from the heart and it.tells
its own tale:
He said that Of course in common
with every citizen iu Montana, he
had deep and abiding interest in
this question. He regretted that
there was not fuller meeting of cit
izens to show the general interest.
But, remembering the history of
Butte, he was not much alarmed at
this phase of the question. 1t is sell
dom that an audience can be got to-
gether to discuss any public ques-
ton. 1t always devolved on few
men to attend to such thing. He
had held 100 public meetings in
Butte, at which himself and a news
paper reporter comprised about all
the meeting. lie had done that as
president of the old board of trade
and of the mineral land association.
| Dl>11 H. Il
drawn up resolutions and with the
assistance of the reporters told the
public of a most enthusiastic meet
ing. But there never was an occas-
ion when it came to show down
that Butte did not respond nobl y and
to the fullest extent to be expected.
The lack of interest is only appar-
ent. He believed Montana had done
as much as any western state and
had always contributed its full share.
The interest must be worked up,
committees appointed, and public
subscriptions solicited. Every man
has direct and abiding interest in
the question. The burden of the
contributions will naturally fall on
Butte. The committees should be
appointed at once. and systematic
solicitation made.
1--WE have ALL" continued Mr.
Mantle, 'sbeen attached to our var
ious parties democratic, republican
or populist--but the deep and vita
question Of the day is the silver
question. 1t overshadows everything
else. If relief does not come from
the old parties, just as sure as the
sun rises the people of Montana viii
take that course which leads to it:
own interests. Patriotism begins a
home. Our interests are the free
coinage of silver. We are strong
enough and powerful enough to ac
alone without waiting for Europe
Bimetallism was good 100 years ago
and it is good now. There is still ;
good working majority in the senate
and if the men there remain true ant
stay by silver and refuse to be driv
