The distressing accident at Bonner FRI
day afternoon, 10y which the infant
Elieson children were seriously injured,
was one of those unfortunate occurrences
which cannot DO ioreseen or prevented
by railroad men. There seems TO be no.
body to blame except the mother of the
children, who had allowed tho little ones
TO wander to the track in their play, 30
yards from their home. Engineer Joe
Brunker, whose engine did the work, is
one of the most careful men IN the serv-
ice and no blame attaches TO INN in the
matter, although he feels deeply greved
over the accident. His engine was APP
preaching the narrow bridge across the
Big Blackfoot at the time and he was
whis,ling to man whom he saw IN the
middle of the bridge. just as he grasped
the whistle lever he saw a little head rise
in front of his engine. He was Mortified,
but il was too late to stop.

There arc spring hats and spring suits
appearing here and there, but the cases
are only thus far sporadic and no epi-
demic is anticipated before Easter. Will
lam Q. Ranft received his spring tile by
express last week, but it has been Land
away until the proper time comes, when
Mr.. Ranft will probably don it. There is
q his DRY connected with this hat. 1t was
purchased by a young lady as the result
of wager which she lost sometime ago
to Mr.. Ranft and, as she selected the hat
herself, there is perhaps some truth in
the report that it is not the correct thing
for this year and Mr.. Ranft may conclude
not to wear 1t after all.

like May afternoon. -
The flowers of spring have made their
appearance IN large numbers during the
last few days and punches OF buttercups
and tufts of the brave Douglasia, which
venture out almost before the snow has
gone, have been gathered along the
streams and sheltered hooks, where they
have been coaxed out by the warm sum
shine. The strong green leaves of the
bitter root, Montana's state flower by vir-
tue of legislative enactment, have begun
to peep above the ground, but the beau
tiful snowy blossoms will not be seen for
several weeks yet. The pioneer blossoms,
however, are warmly welcomed and
eagerly gathered. They are the assurance
that spring is here, despite the unkind
prediction of an approaching cold wave.
But flowers are not the only evidence of
spring that has been manifest here during
the week. The warm weather has devel-
oped some warm feeling in certain quar-
tiers and the result has been two lively
scraps, in each of which an eX-mayor of
the city was participant. The first fight
occurred Friday night and was the result
of mis- aiken identity. One of the ex-
mayors was mistaken for Bitter Root
lumberman by logger who had IT in for
the lumberman. The logger sailed into
the ex-mayor with disastrous results-to
the logger. The assailant would not lis
ten to any explanation nor would he give
any and it was not till after he had paid
fine for disturbance that he told how the
play came up and explained the mystery.
The second scrap took place yesterday
afternoon as a result of an argument
,f,l Nhae
that was involved in this alteration had,
to all appearances, the best of the en-
counter. Missoula's ex-mayors are a
hard game TO run against and the two az
fairs of last weeks have established pre-
cedent that is not likely to be overlooked
by ambitious parties who are seeking
trouble.

CARLISLE AND THE GREENBAcKs

CARLISLE AND
The retirement of the greenbacks which
formed the burden of Secretary Carlisle s
speech in New York the other night is
purely business question and it is to
be hoped that it will be treated as such in
the halls OF Congress when it comes un-
der discussion there. A good deal of harm
comes from treating such matters as
party auctions because when they are re-
garded as such one party has to take one
side the the ! other the othor
and the merits of the question
are liable to be obscured by the
claims of party loyalty. Secretary Car
isles principal objection to the green
backs seems to be that while they exist
and the government stands back of them
with it's pledge to redeem them in gold on
demand the government will always be
in hot water with the gold reserve. That
certainly has been the experience OF the
Secretary since he has been in office, and
perhaps it is not unnatural that he
should make a general inferene OF the
kind he does from this experience, and
pitch into the greenback as the cause OF
all the trouble. 1t is fact however,
that the greenback never gave any trouble
until the revenue began to fall below the
expenditures CT the government. The
endless chain which draws out the gold
from the reserve as fast almost as new
bond issues can put it in, did not begin
to work until Mr.. Car.isle's term of office,
when the revenues began to fall below
the expenditures 1t is not at all i'm
probable, therefore, that the real cause of
the trouble which the Secretary has ex-
perienced is deficiency of revenue and
not the greenback, and that when this
'7se is removed by restoration of the
revenues the ''endless chain" will cease
to work. The retirement of the green
backs would work great contraction of
the currency. that would prove disas-
trous unless the deficiency were supplied.
But when devices were suggested for
this purpose there would be such wide
difference of opinion that it would be ex-
ceedingly difficult to adopt any of Them
With the diverse vi ews that prevail upon
currency sand the bitter differences of
opinion between different sections Oh the
subject it is exceedingly improbable that
any such radical measure as the retire.
ment of the greenbacks could be got
through Congress because of inability to
agree upon anything to take their place.
Certainly the turning over the business
of providing currency entirely to the
banks would arouse very bitter hostility
in many sections of the country, sections
that are very influential in their voting
power.

Carlisle is going to ask authority to
issue short term bonds. Before the adj
journment of the last Congress Mr..
Reed on behalf of the Republicans pro-
posed to confer upon him this authority.
But he was playing politics then and
prevailed upon the Democrats to sit
down upon the proposition. Now he is
about to appear as suppliant for the
very thing year ago he rejected with
scorn. However, Carlisle has grown so
accustomed to turning somersaults since
he has been under the management that
the prospect of another gyration probably
gives him little concern.

Terrapins as Pets.

The latest fad in the way of domes-
ktic pets are the diamond backed terra
pins. They can be found now in
artists studios, mems smoking rooms,
and even in the lady's boudoir.
The terrapin is most convenient
pet so far as feeding him is concerned.
You can train him to eat almost any
thing in the way of meat, or if you
do not give him anything to eat at all
for year or SO it does not appear to
distress him to any great degree. 1t
only increases his wakefulness and ac-
tivity. At first he will only feed in
water, and will eat nothing but hard
or soft shell crabs and CLAIMS He is
especially fond of the former. After
a time, however, as he becomes more
domesticated, he will readily devour
cooked beef or mutton chopped up
fine, and will learn to take it out of
your hand.
When first introduced into the
domicile the diamond back is very
restless. He seems to want to investi-
gate every possible corner OF the
house. But as soon as he has taken
the bearings of his quarters he sub
sides into a condition of quiet con-
tent and will allow you to try and
teach him tricks. Charles II. john
son, the artist, has very tame terra
pin at his studio. Mr.. Johnson's dia-
| mond-back knows his footstep. As
soon as he enters his apartment the
terrapin will always crawl out from
under some piece of furniture in the
hope, possibly, of being fed. Every
body who possesses diamcnd-back
speaks of the readiness with which
they can be tanned. New York

Hawk and Crows.

The other morning a blue hawk
dived into flock of quail at the edge
of some second-growth timber near
| where Farmer Harrison Tabor was
ploughing, in Eaton township, Penn.
1t disabled quail, but failed to secure
it, and the frightened birds arose and
and settled down around the plough
man. Tabor stopped the team, and
while the startled game birds sat
trembling on the soil, the crippled
quail joined them. The others flew
to the woods presently, and the hawk
sailed around and kept an eye on the
wounded quail Tabor ended the
disabled quail's sufferings, and at noon
set it upon the ground as though it were
in the act of pecking, and with fifty
feet of fish line fixed snare for the
hawk. When he returned to the field
after dinner, the hawk was yanking
and futtering it the end of the line,
fifty feet up in the air, one of its feet
having been caught in the snare. Tabor
drove the team into the woods, and
within half an hour he saw eight crows
flying toward the Tapping hawk with
cries of delight. They began out of
hand to whack the hawk, and they
cawed triumphantly as they kept it
spinning and twitching at the line.
The screaming quaiLkiller lowered
and raised itself, but the cruel crows
had got at it for good, and they be-
labored it ceaselessly till it dropped to
the ground, where they pounded it to
death. Then they went cawing to the
woods, and few seconds later fox
stole out of the brush, set his tusks
into the hawk, snapped the fish line in
two, and disappeared in the timber
with his prize. New York Sun.

where there are several successful bee

supplies the town of Eddy with honey,

A Space Filled With Silence.

Areas of silence are among the un-
explained phenomena of nature.
There are spaces in the vicinity of
fog-signals where there is no sound OF
warming heard, although there is con-
stantly sounded the note of danger.
Accidents have happened to vessels in
this way that are accounted for only
by the theory that there is an area
over which sound passes without pro-
ducing any effect. In one case q
steamer ran aground about one and q
half miles from fog-signal that was in
full play. Notwithstanding the short
distance, no sound was heard, while at
points five or six miles away the sig
nails were distinctly audible. Another
steamer ran aground only an eighth
of mile from signal that was sound
ing loudly. Experiments have been
made for the purpose of locating these
silent points, and there whereabouts
has been accurately determined. One
theory of the cause of this silent area
is, that the sound, coming in contact
with some current of air or electric
strata, is thrown upward out of level
course, and proceeds over the
heads of the sailors. New York
Ledger.
