OUTLOOK is BRIGHT.
Gov Elect. Smith Back From His Cal.
tfOrnia Trip.

ifornia Trip.
Helena, Nov. S.-GOv. Elect r. r.
Smith arrived home to-day from his
campaigning tour through California.
His trip to the coast did him lots of
good, and he was never looking or feel
ing better in his life. When seen this
evening at the residence of Colonel
Word. where he is stopping while his
family is away, he refused absolutely
to talk concerning his appointments.
He would not say whether Populists or
Democrats would predominate in re.
ceiving appointive positions. He ex.
pressed himself as much gratified over
the handsome vote Montana gave him.
and stated that he hoped to give in re-
turn an administration that would
prove satisfactory to all. While occu:
pying the gubernatorial chair he said
he would make as impartial governor
as it is possible for man to do. When
asked if he thought the silver issue was
dead, he replied:
"To my way of thinking it has a
brighter outlook to-day than ever be-
fore. # it was possible for us to carry
so many states during the campaign
just closed, what will we not be able to
do four years hence? We will be able
to elect our candidate by an over
whelming majority. During the pres
ent administration we propose to re-
double our energies In behalf of silver
and do not see how we can lose"
Owing to the fact that the governor
elects homecoming to-day was un.
known, there was no one to meet him
at the train. Arrangements were be-
ing made to receive him when he was
expected later, but his untimely CON-
ing has put an end to it. AS yet no ar
rangements have been made to accord
him a reception on account of his elec.
tion. He will be inaugurated Janu.

THE OFFICIAL RESULT
WORK OF THE CANVAS
SING BOARD
OF Madison County Some Surprises
The Result Tabuiated ed-A Handsome
Majority for Bryan and Hartman
Wide Differences ia the Vote on
Some Candidates.

Chairman Joseph Smith. Commits
sioncr Copp, and Treasurer Jacob AL
bright comprising the canvassing
board of Madison county, met Thurs
day and canvassed the returns official
ly, the result of which the MADISON
IAN presents to it's readers in tabular
form in minute detail ."
There are some surprises Madison
county is II gold producing county, but
the result of the Bryan vote goes be-
yond the expectations of the most SAN
guine Bryan men in the county. The
silver men estimated the strength of
the Mckinley forces in the county at
about 30 per cent. or in the neighbor-
hood of 600 votes but when put to the
test only 3l4 electors voted for McKin-
ley out of an approximate total vote of
2lOO. Henry Knippenberg, Mckinley
electoral candidate, pOlled 3l5, the
highest vote on the Mckinley ticket;
w. A. Allen leads the Prohibition
electors with total of 16 extra dry
votes to his credit. while Martin Ma
ginnis showed Il total strength of 1888
It; majority for Bryan of 1873, and q
plurality over Mckinley Of 1922, all Of
which goes to show how gloriously the
men OF Madison county, the banner
gold producing county in the state,
stood up for silver's cause.
Nor was Charlie Hartman forgotten.
He polled 1909 votes against 244 for
Goddard, II total of only 1868, and a ma
jority for Montanas favorite son of H.
O65. Almost Ore-thira of the McKin-
ley supporters in the county refused to
swallow Goddard. All things being
considered, the showing made in Madi-
son county is one of which the silver
men within her confines need not be
ashamed of.
Bob Smith, for governor, has q ma
jority over Botkin of 81, out of total
vote of 1888. Spriggs for lieutenant
governor has a majority of 332 over his
opponent DOlman, and the vote and the
balance of the state ticket is in about
the same proportion.
For district Judge, Frank Showers re-
ceived 975, M. Fl. Parker 492, +. J.
Conger 50, a majority OF 400 for Show
ers and plurality of 483. Showers
plurality in Reaverhead county over
Parker is about 200, bnt in Jefferson
county Parker's plurality over Shower
is over 900 votes, which will give Par
ker plurality in the district of be-
tween 200 and 250.

SHE CHAMPlONED SILVER.
Miss Mable Filing Speaks for Bryan at the
New England Conservatory.

Miss Mahle Filing, daughter OF Maj.
Henry Elling of this city, who is attend
ing the New England conservatory at
Boston, is doing good missionary work
for silver among the bean eaters. Just
before the election political meeting
OF the lady students Of this institution
was held, and Miss Mable championed
the cause OF the white metal in clever
manner, Speaking of the occasion the
Boston Herald of recent date said:
Sleeper Hall at the New England
Conservatory was the scene of most
exciting political meeting last night,
when the lady students gathered there
in and cast their votes for their favOrite
candidate for the presidency. Miss
Mabel Filing, speaking in the interests
OF Bryan, made the hit of the evening
when she declared that she was lin
favor OF more money, more food, more
clothes, more rest and more sleep"
The Mckinley end was upheld by
Miss Mildred Bennett in bright
speech. The voting was carried on
amid frantic yells for Bryan and conn-
ter yel.s for Mckinley, but the excite
ment eliminated when the vote was de-
clared: Levering, 2: Buckner II: Bryan
Il: Mckinley l55. The result was i'm
mediately telegraphed to Maj. McKin7
ley, and is counted on to keep un his
courage during this election day.

REFORM DIET OF Il PREACHER
Eschews Fish, Flesh and Fowl and
Lives on 81 Gents a Week

is how to correctly interpret these princi-
pies. Healthy food, according to Mr..
Grant, is included in the following lis; of
eatables: Unleavened bread, made of
graham meal; porridge made of oatmeal;
beans, peas and the various kinds of
fruits, including figs and dates; English
walnuts; mlld, new cheese; raw eggs in
milk. The bread is made by stirring gra-
ham meal and cold water till the COM
bination is about thick enough for grlddle
cakes, and it is then baked in castiron
gem pans.
These articles are never permitted to
pass Mr.. Grants lips: Flesh, fish and
fowl. pies, cakes, tea, coffee, sugar, salt,
ginger, mustard. pepper and all spices.
In short, this dietarian uses no seasoning
in any food, unless little milk can be
considered to come within that category.
The unleavened bread is placed at the
front of all healthful food, on which, the
doctor declares, he lives well at a cost of
things, he alleges, which will enable one
to accomplish so much work, either men,
tai or physical, as will this bread and oat-
meal porrdge, the latter made after the
fashion of hasty pudding.
What blow it would be to the restau-
rant and hotel keepers if Mr.. Grant could
convert even a respectable number of
persons to his theory. Think of a hotel
menu the choicest article of which would
be unleavened bread. Even the Arab,
abstemious as he is, could never be in
duced to indorse Mr.. Grants theory-that
S71z cents week position-because to
bar salt would be to deprive him of the
right of exercising the most cherished fea-
ture of his code OF hospitality.
Again, his theory, even if we can live on
| 871z cents week by following it, over
turns one of the oldest medical theories
that without salt we will gradually pine
away until death claims us for his own.
Just how much can we eat on an S71%
cents q week basis2 DR.. Grant saws we
can get all we need. all that we ought to
consume, if we wish to maintain our
health at the proper standard He tells
exactly what to do in these words:
''In relation to the healthy quantity
of food l became satisfied that most
people ate too much. When / came to
decide on the quantity that my system
needed l first let my appetite decide; but
it soon occurred to my mind that my ap-
petite had neither reason nor judgment,
and therefore was not competent to direct
in the matter. The late DR.. Dio Lewis of
Boston gave me very valuable rule on
this subject, WHICH was to decide on the
quantity before mouthful is taken.
After weighing and measuring my food
and noting the effect upon my stomach
! arrived at the quantity and quality of
| food adapted to a healthy system.
| found that when / followed that my
| stomach made no more complaint about
| its work than did my eyes when seeing,
] ears when hearing or heart and lungs

POSTS at Nulatto Tanana and Arctic City,
n the Yukon country (the latter post
,eing in latitude Ga deg. IS min., is half of
degree inside the Arctic Circle) is here,
and he tells of remarkable adventures with
moose, bighorn sheep and other animals.
Mr.. BEETLES captured ana reared Jerry, the
big moose in Golden Gate Park, and sent
him here. He also sent mate for Jerry,
but il died on the way. He has tanned

are in all respects remarka BILE animals.

mate broke to harness" he sad yester-
day. "a moose has got the greatest sense
OF any animal in the world. When wild
they can smell man at an enormous dis
tancr, like a wild horse, and can see and
hear further than any other animal OF
which 1 ever heard. When they are
tanned they are as tractable as dog, and
will do anythlng-come when you call
them, lie down and roll over. had big
moose, that would weigh 1000 pounds,
come right into the cabin with me.
The moose would do this with me, or
ANYBODY they knew, but not with a
stranger. With them they are treach-
erous. and will kick, strike or use their
horns in a second.
THE moose up at the post of Tanana
are very numerous, and on the snow they
are much faster than horse. Their legs
are so long they step right over log four
feet high and go right along. Logs that q
man would have to climb over do not
bother them at all.

ter in their corral. a moose corral is a
peculiar thing The moose make it by
tramping around and around on the
snow, the big ones ahead and the little
ones behind. In this way they get down
to the willows and weeds, and there they
feed. I have seen them beat down the
snow in this way till there was round
wall of snow six or seven feet high about
them.
When the willows and weeds are
eaten out the big moose lunge out, and
the little ones follow. The big ones break
the willows and gouge out the snow with
their horns. When they get out of one
corral they make another. The moose
work their lips like horse.
