Two south African constitutions.

The chief differences between the
South African and the American sys-
TENS OF government are the following
The president has, in the South Afri-

than federal president or the COVER

Of the legislature, and much less power

for though he can recommend persons
for appointment TO public Office, and.
at least in the Transvaal, signs the
documents appointing them. the ap-
pointment itself would seem TO be re-
garded as the act of the Volksraad.

Troy, April S.-The town of Troy is
situated in Flathead county, on the
Kootenai river, and the line Of the
Great Northern railroad, J10 miles west
of Kafispell, and in the center of what
is known as the Montana-K
country. 1t is the Quitting point for
the Yal1h gold mining camp. distant
about Is miles in northerly direction;
the Banner Mountain and Grouse
Mountain silver-lead camps. distant
six and IL miles respectively, in q
sourtherly direction; the Callahan,
Lake and Star creek placer camps, sd-

various camps.
The population Of Troy IS about 200.
Business is represente by two general

hotels, blacksmith shop and Ivory sta

ed by placer miners at intervals for the
past 80 years, but it was not until last
summer that the country was prospect
ed for gold quartz. Several claims
were located and favorable assay re-
turns having been received, other par
ties were stimulated to look for the
shining metal.
Returns from the Keystone ore have
given results from SO ITO $50 in gold to
the ton. This claim is bonded to Finch
& Clark of Spokane for S12,500 1t is
said the bond will be taken up at the
time of its expiration, which is in the
coming July. These parties have a
force of men at work developing the
claim by tunnel and shaft. The ore is
what is termed sylvanite, and lies In a
quartzite formation, running northeast
and southwest, cutting across the
country rock.
Messrs. Finch & Clark have located
several placer claims, water rights and
millsites, also quartz claims in the vi
cinity of the keystone and a few days
ago located 10000 miners inches of the
Yakh river at the falls. about a mile
below the bridge crossing the Yakh
river, for the purpose of utilizing 1t for
electrical uses. There can be no doubt
but that these gentlemen see that the
Yakh is bound to be a permanent and
productive camp, or they would not
be securing the property they are at
present.
A free ferry, a county road and a
free bridge across the Yalxh river all

From the Portland Oregonian.
1t is reported that Carrie Bradley.

Pete Sullivan. who year ago was sent
TO san Quentin for five years from San
Francisco for enticing young girls to
Carries bagnio.
Carrie Bradley came to Portland in
1877 with Walter Furst, a thief. and
established herself as mistress of a
house of ill-fame. She had several low
ers, and finally took up with Charley
Hamilton, previously a foreman for a
carriage and baggage transfer COM
pany in San Francisco.
In the fall of 1881 James Brown Wis
tied the house of Carrie Bradley. and
While there claimed to have been
robbed of between $50 and $50. Failing
to recover his money, he, for the pur-
pose of revenge, the next day caused
the arrest of Carrie Bradley on a
charge OF keeping a house of ill-fame.

but created such a smell that 1t had to
be taken up.
Hamilton and Sullivan then borrowed
a mack from hackman named Baker,
and placing the body in a trunk, took
1t and threw it into the river, near
Weidlers mill. The trunk was soon
afterwards found and the whole story
came out. Carrie Bradley fed and
was arrested in San Francisco. Sulli-
van was arrested in Woodland. Yolo
county. California. :.
Carrie was sentenced to ~ years and
Sullivan to five years, and at the expi-
ration of five years Governor Moody
pardoned Carrie Bradley.
Hamilton fed to Mexico. He killed a
Mexican and was sent to prison at
Mazatlan. He finally got out and came
TO Seattle, where he stabbed a man
with dirk. He skipped to avoid ar
rest, and has not since been heard
from.
Mollie Flippin was burned to death
some years ago at Tacoma. Baker, the
hackman, is dead. He had no part in
the affair, and loaned mis- hack, sup

function, and should be performed in a
natural way without undue suffering.
Nature never intended that women
should be tortured when doing the one
thing which makes them wholly wo-
manly. The perversion of natures laws
has brought this suffering about, and a
return to right living will stop it.
Nine out of ten women are troubled
more or less by weakness and diseases
peculiar to their sex. 1t is so because
they do not take proper care of them
selves-because they neglect little ills
and little precautions. A woman in per-
fectly hearty health goes through her
time of trial with comparative ease. The
thing to do then, is to make all expec-
tant mothers healthy - to strengthen
them generally and locally. The medi-
cine and tonic to do it with is Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t is powerful invigorant and nervine.
1t soothes and strengthens the nerves and

White Sulphur Springs Husbandman:
suggestions in regard to the change of
the name of our town do not roll in very
rapidly, the majority of the people being
apparently nicely pleased with White
sulphur Springs, but we may wake up
some line morning to learn that the very
eccentric postal department has acted in
the matter entirely independent of the
peoples wishes, as 1t has been doing all
over the state in its effort to trace its
memory, or In other words to make it's
footprints In the sands of time. Rev. w.
h. Catlin. however, came to the front
with very pretty name for a city of

as great a purpose of advertising the
chief facilities of the town as the pres

corners of either instrument. We
should be prepared to find party gov
eminent develop itself in a pronounced
form. Power would be concentrated in
the party majority and its leaders.
The executive would become the hum
BILE instrument of their will. The
courts of law, especially in the Trans
vaal with its apparently flexible con-
stitution, would be unable to stem the
tide of legislative violence. The presi-
dent might perhaps attempt to resist
by producing a deadlock over appoint

moral advantage in being the direct
choice Of the people. But the one
chambered legislature would in all
probability prevail against him.-Rt.

at him. Sands ran across the street TO
his home, the would be-assassin keep
ing up the fire. Five shots were fired,
three hitting him in the right arm and
one in the leg. Minchall Immediately
went home, shot his wife and two chill
dren and then took his own life.
The officers found Minchalrs resi-
dence locked and broke in the door. A
terrible sight was presented. Mrs.
Minchall was lying on the floor OF tho
sitting room with a bullet hole in her
temple. Near her was the dead body
of her daughter, Ruby, about Is years
old. In the corner lay Minchall with
an empty revolver clutched in his
hand. He, too. was dead. In an ad-
joining bedroom were found the bod
les of George, aged 4, and an infant
brother. They We're in bed together
and death had evidently come upon
them while they slept.
The motive for Minchalls crime is a
mystery, but IL is thought the inquest
now in progress will clear the matter
Minchall was an insurance agent and
attorney. He left a long letter, the
gist of which is that Sands promised
him all his company's business and
now demanded third of the commits
sion. Minchall was badly involved
and his extreme love for his family
prompted him to kill them rather than
see them suffer.
