OF the Markets-Why the Retailers
Have Run Beef Up Two Cents.
Coming right in with the Christmas
market rush, beef has gone up. While
the wholesale prices have jumped but
half a cent pound, the retail prices are
far In advance Of last week. To an
EVENING JOURNAL reporter q leading
meat dealer said
You see the retailers now have the
hrst opportunity to inaugurate a new
state Of affairs out Of a very rotten con
dition The great trouble Is, they have
been cutting each others throats and
selling bset for less than It cost them,
when figured up
Nov, the wholesale prices have I'D
vsnced one half a cent PER pound For
sides Of beef we get 81 70 z ceats; hind
quarters, s to 10 cents; fortq q1srters,
TO cents. This advance always occurs
after the run OF grass fed cattle 10
exhausted and the grain fed stock comes
in. The point that fleets the consumer
is that thes0 retailers have now seen
loop hole to get in and tighten up
prices
That Is why bestls 2 and 3 cents a
pound higher.
why rurkeys'Are Cheap.
Though It Is hard on the retailer. it
will be better for Wilmington shoppers II
they do not buy their turkeys until the
last horn blows. They will be cheap
There never was dry year that did not
make turkeys grow and flourish. Damp
weather kills the tender fowls by the
wholesale. This year. therefore, has
been most propitious and there are rlenty
OF healthy young turkeys and older ones
too. Some prices on poultry as quoted
to-day are appended:
Turkeys, 10 TO 10 cents; CHECKERS, 10 to
13 cents. ducks, 12 to II cents; geese, 70
TO l3 cents; tqusbs, % Co 35 cents

Beautiful Sight.

In "Transsiberian Savages" the
author gives a description of a beau
tiful and unique phenomenon which
he witnessed off the shore of Sakha-
lin island. The bright blue water
was so clear that for a long distance
from the shore he could see the bot
tom, and even the fishes, shoals of
which We're moving gently hither
and thither.
Above the swimming fish was a
strange phenomenon. The surface of
the water was like dazzling snow.
This brilliant white surface, which
extended over an area of nearly q
square mile, was not sea foam, for,
with the exception of the ocean
swell, the water was placid as a lake.
My friend, seeing my delight, mo-
toned me to hand him one of the
rifles. He took no aim, but simply
fired.
Instantly the air was full of skim
ming snowfakes, scintillating in the
bright sunshine against the deep
blue sky right across the horizon,
while the surface of the water ceased
to be white and became uniform iii
it's blueness.
This is the most beautiful sight
that this latitude has to offer, and
most fortunate was l in getting it.
Just at that season millions upon
millions of exquisitely white birds
migrate to that spot. They are winter
than the whitest of gulls, and their
plumage is much more brilliant, so
as to be quite dazzling in the sun
shine. What these birds are l had no
opportunity of determining.

Prominent Mining Men.

w. G.. Conrad of Great Falls, and Jos.
X. Clark of Butte, two leading business
men of Montana came in on Wednes-
days train, remaining till today. The
former holds heavy mining interests here
and is the chief owner in the Queen NJ.
and NJ. company, now operating at Nei-
hart Mr.. Clark is a brother of w. A.
Clark and one of the best and most
active mining men in the state. He has
several times previously visited Neihart
and has looked upon this place as being
one of the best silver camps to be found
anywhere.
Mr.. Clark is not today interested in
Neihart, but may soon invest in some OF
the mines here. 1t is even rumored that
his visit here has something to do in
connection with a proposed big mining
deal. We hope that this visit may re-
suit in great good for the town.
In company with J. L. Ncihart they
drove yesterday to Barker to make
an inspection of that camp. The party
had nothing to say for publication, and
it is altogether probable that as yet nc
changes have been made that are of suf-
ficent Importance for publication.

COUNTY SEAT 1 p

From the IIusbandman:
From the best information we can
gather the new discovery of gold quartz
in the vicinity of Neihart is a genuine
fake. We have it from what we con-
slider good authority that the ore from
which the assays of thousands of dollars
per ton is made came from British Col
umbia, and we merely give the state
ment elsewhere from the columns of the
Helena Independent for what it is worth.
We make this statement in the interest
of justice. If we are in error the mines
will soon show for themselves. We
would be only too glad if the discovery
was genuine, but we believe it to be an
imposition On the public and that the
bubble will soon burst.
1t is understood here that arrange
ments are about perfected for the re-
sumption of operations in the Nevada
mine near Neihart. This is one of the
good mines Of that camp. 1t yielded
some profits to its owners Il year ago
when silver was worth only 60 cents per
ounce and should pay handsome divi-
dends at the present price ofsilver. Our
townsman Max Sklower is largely inter
ested in this property.
David Rice, of the firm of Rice &
Wells, of Riceville, was in town tins
week. This firm is one of the large
land owners of the north side of the
Belt mountains, and Mr.. Rice assures us
he is well content with the business of
cattle growing, considering it n of the
best industries that can be engaged in.
A skunk scratched under the founda-
ton of Max Waterman's hen house one
day last week and killed eight fine Ply
mouth Rock fowls including a pullet
that he believed to be the finest in all
Montana.

Mining Accident.

\ strange accident occurred Thursday
at Chas. Swanson's claim, near the big
rock, on the west slope of Badly.
Charlie was working in the shaft about
thirty five feet deep. John Doe acted as
windlass man, and Frank Lindquist vas
sharpening tools. About 10 a. m. John
started a half dozen sticks Of tagging
down the shaft By the easiest possible
way. trusting to the law of gravity to
land them safety at the bottom. Charlie
roared his objection TO such careless
methods, bat lodged about among the
falling timbers in such a way as to
escape injury.
One hour afterward John had occasion
to lower the bucket which he did in the
same impromptu manner as with the
timbers. Crashing down through the
shaft came the IS pound iron vessel.
striking Mr.. Swanson a sideliug blow on
the head. Seeing the predicament he
was in Boo ran from the shaft and told
the blacksmith that Charlie was dead
and that there was no use to 60 back TO
the shaft.
The wounded man however was raised
to the surface, where he soon regained
consciousness, and today he is walking
about with his head in Il bandagc: but
he don't want another tilt with natures
laws in the same manner.

ELIOT.
Her Religion and Her Morals and Lesson
From Her Life.

NFEcb
From Her Life.
M. NJ. Mangasarian, in his le,.
ture on George Eliot's Religion and
Morals" says:
George Eliot achieved true i'm.
mortality--the victory over oblivion
through the power of genius and
goodness. She:not only won the adj
miration of the generation in which
she lived, but she also conquered tho
future. George Eliot has more read.
ers today in England and America
than when she lived in the flesh and
was seen walking about London.
The only thing that is eternally
young is genius. If she were living
now, few would hesitate to pronounce
her the greatest woman writer OF
the day. George Eliot is a moral
artist, an ethical teacher, in q sense
in which Sir Walter Scott or Dick.
ens was not. She brings to her task
an uncompromising earnestness; ev-
cry page of her writings is saturated
with an almost unrelaxing serious
e To demonstrate the eternal
laws of conduct which inclose and
environ mans existence is the bur
den of her books.
THE two marriages of George Ell.
lot have elected much criticism,
friendly and unfriendly. I have
heard it said George Eliot herself re-
GREETED in after years the influence
her example exerted upon others.
There was in this act of hers an ap.
parent disrespect and Indifference to
existing institutions. The question
Of the relation of the sexes is steadi.
ly moving to the front. In Europe
and America there are writer's who
think it is the crucial question of the
day. l do not believe George Eliot
ever violated the spirit of her high
teaching on the subject of marriage.
George Eliot is a philosopher
novelist, teaching the meaning OF
life through the channels of fiction
There is in her, as there was in
Thomas Carlyle, a lurking sadness
a melancholia. While reading her
pages l have said to myself, She has
dipped her pen in tears The story
of her religious evolution proves
that to know the truth was her only
desire, to cling to error was her only
fear. AT an early age she found her
self slipping from the dogmatiC
Christianity of the day, but if she
stopped going to church she never
ceased to be religious. The first
condition of human goodness is
something to love, the second some
thing to reverence. Can there be a
better definition Of ethical religion:
Religion to her meant something
else besides doctrines and notions
1t meant the free and diligent exer.
ton of the intellect, the hunger and
the thirst after Righteousness. This
breach with the creed of her youth
never created bitterness in her soul,
for she says, 1T is possible, thank
heaven, to have very erroneous the.
cries and very sublime feelings.
No other writer has uttered more
eloquently the supremacy of the
deed over the creed. She is the mod
r. stole"
