says that there are now in the heart Of
Africa, where not one missionary was

@re due to Immense labor, patience,

Governor Drake Speaks Boldly
in Defense of the Mon
roe Doctrine.
SAYS The HAWKEYES ARE ALL RIGHT.
Young Man at HaVrc Said to
Have Gone Wrong and
Hit the Cooler.

The Inauguration of Governor
Drake at Des Moines took plac. on
the 10Th in the presence of several
thousand people. The governor in
his inaugural address said:
The stand taken by the president
in favor Of the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine has received the
most unhesitating and cordial appro,
val Of the patriotic people of all pol
itical parties The immediate action
taken by both houses Of congress
sounds the key note Of the true Am
erican policy.
The time has come when this
question must be settled and the
principle contended for Acknowledge
ed. We hope this will be done
peacefully, but if it cannot be 50
done, Iowa is ready to acquiesce in
the nations determination to defend
its integrity and to maintain this VI
tai principle, if necessary by force Of
arms.
The so called Christian civiliza-
ton which will tolerate the inhuman
butchery Of innocent Christian peo-
pie is not worthy to be coupled with
American Christian civilization
! Such foul assault on Christianity
and such inhuman practices woult
be Of short duration on this western
hemisphere. No boundary lines
would suffice to stay the onward
rush of American soldiers for The
protection of the innocent and tho
punishment of the guilty"

A FEW PIG TALES.
Their Truth Vouched for by the Ed
itor of the River Press.

We notice thai several of our
Montana contemporaries are engaged
in a hog story contest, the regular
pork harvest season giving an oppor-
tunity for reporting the size of the
crop in their respective localities.
the first news of abnormal pork pro-
duction came from Lewistown, the
size of the return, if we remember
correctly, being about 4oO pounds to
the carcass, which was followed by
news from Choteau to the effect that
Teton county hog had beaten that
record by several pounds. Then
Judge Strevell of Miles city topped
the record with something little
more hefty than the Tetou county
phenomenon, and the judge was SUBJ
sequently knocked out by Andy
Gifsdorf of Billings with Poland

council at that place, held last Satur-
day, at which the town treasurer, Il.
B. Norell, was charged with having
misappropriatcd the city>s moneys to
his own use He confessed his guilt
before the council, and said that he
had used the towns money to settle
up insurance premiums which he
owed certain insurance companies,
and which had been long overdue,

Emil b. Norell was appointed
town treasurer Of Iavre last May.
He was formerly cashier of the State
bank Of Havre, which failed during
the hard times, it's affairs found TO be
in bad shape. :. Pepin, its vice
president. however, advanced suilic-
lent money SO that its deposltors
were paid in full. Last month there
was turned over 10 Norell, as town
treasurer, the SUN of $1,000, from
the taxes collected by Choteau coun-
ty. being the towns share of the
taxes. This sum, together with the
licenses collected has all disappear
ed and forms the shortage above re
ferred to. Norell's bondsmen are
j. G. Bailey and Frank Lenhoff ol
Havre, both fully responsible men
so that the town Of liavre will not
lose anything in the end. The de
falcation has, however. made a grea
sensation in ilavre, where NorclI
was generally respected heretofore.

more in determining where the pop

EXAMINER REPORTS.
Public Institutions of the State
as Viewed by EXAM
iner BOgart.
NEW SET OF BOOKS PRESCRIBED.
The Montana Hog Is Demand
ing as Much Attention as
Col. Sanders.

State examiner Bogart has filed
his first annual report with the COVER
nor. The statement is for the year
ending November 30, 1895. 1t is a
most voluminous document, giving
exhaustive statistics Of every public
institution in the state. Each sub
iect is taken up and disposed of sep
arately. Under the head of state Of
ticers the report says:
ssThere have been no examinations
made by this Office of any of the
state officers during this term, as
other matters of Importance have re-
uuired our consideration and atten-
ton. 1t is the purpose of this office
to organize a system Of ACCOUNTS
within the next few months between
the state auditor and the state treas
urer which will give a daily balance
between all funds Of the state and at
the same time produced the informa-
ton mentioned above. The law re.
quiring the paid warrants to be held
in the office of the treasurer is a mis-
take and should be amended so thai
they will be passed into the Office O
the state auditor at least once {
month
Aftet enumerating the state public
institutions the report says that a
all of them are under supervision O
state boards which report regularl.,
the state examiner will pay no atten
ton to them unless so ordered by III
governor.
"There will be an investigation 0
the accounts of the local boards,' tn
report continues, sin the cases of tn
agricultural college and the stat
normal school, owing to the fact tha
they are placed in charge of certai
moneys accruing from the sale c
land bonds
Under the head Of county officer
the report says: sThe first efforts {
this office were expended in maxim
an investigation of several differer
counties for the purpose of ascertain
ing what the system heretofore en-
ployed by the various officers was
keeping the accounts of their respet
tive counties. 1t was found that n
two like officers had like systems {
like accounts. la one county ii
treasurer would be keeping throug|
out double entry system OF book
and in the next county the treasure
would have neither cash book, ledg,
nor journal. Some of the count
clerks have been keeping an a
count of the finances of their coun
les, while in other counties they ne
er have had an account of the actu
financial condition of the counties;
fact the latter was found to be Il
case in two of the largest counties
the state"
To eradicate the above evils al
to make all county books alike, E
aminer Bogart prescribes set
books which if adopted will uni
the entire system in the state.

Wallace, The Riding Lion.

OF all the great equestrian performances OF

or attractive than the perfectly trained eques-
trian lion TO be seen with The Walter l.. Main
Enormous r. r. Shows, 3-Ring Circus, s.
Continent Menagerie, Roman Hippodrome
and Trained Wild Beast Show. This remark
able animal, which a few years ago roamed,
king of an African forest, is now seen at every
performance of the Walter L. Main Show,
riding a bare back horse with all the ease,
grace and agility Of n champion human
equestrian. There is no act or part of any
act performed by our champion bareback
biped artists which this intelligent quadruped
does not duplicate, and many things in which
he excels the gentlemanly artists of the Big
Show. The Big Show exhibits on Thursday
Sept. oath in Havre de Grace, and everyone
should see the only horse riding lion per-
former.
