Helena, Mont, Feb. S.-A report Of
"a terrible tragedy comes from Big
Timber, a town on the Northern Pa
cific, 100 miles east Of here. Mrs Rob
ert ;Cort, wife of a rancher living near
THE town, has disappeared, taking with
her three small children, and there
seems every reason to believe she,
drowned them and herself in the yell
lowstone river. Near a hole in the ice
used for watering stock was found a
baby's hood, and traces Of their steps
were found leading to the hole, but not
away from it. She was seen in the
vicinity by rancher living near, but
as she was on the regular path used by
travellers nothing was thought of it I'M
til the word was given that she was
missing.
She is known to have threatened to
kill the children and herself, alleging
domestic unhappiness, and as q days
search has failed to reveal the where
abouts Of any Of them, there is but one
opinion. Men have used drag nets and
powder all along the river since the
alarm was given, but to no purpose.
The three children were under two
years OF age and included twins.

town state prison for the murder of
Two children, came very near escap-
Ing from his quarters last Wednes-

| hs usual the capital was crowded, but
what was quite unusual, the weather was
suspicious, which added greatly to the
pleasure of the thousands who had gath
cred to witness the ceremonies of inaugu-
ratioa from all parts of the Union. Presi
dent-elect Mckinley in perfect health, and
accompanied by his wife, mother, and a
circle of intimate friends, responded to
the proudest occasion of his active life
with a vigor of action and expression
that augurs we'll for the opening of his
administration, His inaugural address
was in every way characteristic of the
man-souud, terse, pointed and patriotic
He says in no uncertain language, that
the common sense business principles
applicable to ordinary business transac
tions, should be applied to the govern
ment, and that the best way to keep out
of debt, for a government as we'll as for
an individual, is to pay as you go. HIS
arguments for sound money, for increased
revenues, and for tariff revision, are
logical and candid, embodying the plth
of his views on these sub jects which have
become well known to the country at
large.
A point that will impress the careful
observer in this inaugural, is the lofty
patriotism which it enunciates through
out, and the perfect trust which 1T re-
poses in the American people to the END
of good government and respect for the
laws of the land. He assumes the duties
of his high office, depending upon the
people who are old fashioned enough to
love their country, and the principles
upon which their government is founded,
to help and sustain him in responsible
and arduous position. Mr.. Mckinley
assumes the presidency at very trying
time. His first public act is to convene
an extra session of congress. he IS
statesman with wide experience IN public
affairs, and great Majority of the Amer
lean people have the most implicit faith
in his ability to remove to agreat extent
the conditions of doubt and depression
which now prevail to an alarming degree
This cannot be accomplished in a week
or month. AS time was required tol
the formation of these conditions, SO
time will be required for their removal
But of the final result, with statesman
of Mr.. McKinley's standing at the helm,
there can be no doubt, and from the very
fact that this belief in improved condi-
tions is general, the dawn of better day
was ushered in, when the sun rose over
the land on March 4, 1897.

A DEpOSED QUEEN,

Our esteemed friend, Queen Lii, late of
Honolulu, who has been acting for some
months past as colored supplement for
the Cleveland administration, will now
turn her attention to playing upon the
sympathies of President Mckinley. She
has been advised time and again that her
case is absolutely hopeless, and by those
whose high standing in the councils of
the nation, would under ordinary circum-
stances entitle their advice to some
weight. No such with Lii, however. She
still clings to the dream of restoration,
and firmly believes, so she says, that
sooner or later the American government
will come to recognize the business OF
her claims.
Poor woman! 1t is impossible for her
to realize that all governments of the kind
in which single ruler is the supreme will
must 90 down to dust and darkness be.
fore the stern edict of popular will. All
Europe trembles as she touches this key
note of modern times. The transforma-
tion will not take place in year or de-
cade, but it will come in time, for il is so
written
