will, in a few days, make a decided
change for the better in the soil.
"A good and prosperous truck season
means a great deal for Eastern Carolina.
1t is hoped here that our truck will not
go into market with other States, for if
it does it will mean dollars lost-that is
if the yield is great from all truck cen
tiers.
Newbern looks busy to the visitors
during truck seasons Wagons and carts
pour into the city daily, piled with filed
truck crates from the farms for ship
ment. Truck trains leave all points daily
with string Of ventilated cars packed
with perishable freight, hurrying into
northern markets. Steamers leave daily
loaded to their deep-water mark with
truck crates piled in every safe place on
board-and the truck is some times left
on the docks.
TRUCKING LIKE Gambling"
A northern visitor riding through the
truck fields here a few days passed, COM
pared the truck farmer with the gambler,
saying, "that the gambler may hold in
his hand four aces but he knows not
what time his opponent will greet him
with a royal-straight-Hush. Same way
with trucking, here's the truck-farmer
with thousands of dollars invested in
truck, and the fields present scene that
to his mind assures successful invest
ment, but along comes, snow or frost,
crops are cut off, and the planter is bank
rupt."
Yes. and we might add The truck
planter makes a good yield, it is shipped
to northern markets, and in some
cases the shipper is notified that it didn't
sell for enough ca to pay the freight.
This may be true in a sense-its a
game of chance, and so is life. But
judging from advancement of truck in
this vicinity now the truck farmers of
Eastern North Carolina will sell their
chance for no small sum this time.

Il DIDN'T THINK"

Ef all the troubles in the world
Were traced back to their start
We'd End not one in ten begun
From want of willing heart
But there's a sly Woe working elf
Who turks about youths brink.
And sure dismay he brings always
The elf Il didn't think
He seems so sorry when he's caught,
His mien is all contrite,
He so regrets the woe he's wrought,
And wants to make things right,
But wishes do not heal wound,
Or weld broken link
The heart aches on, the link is gone
All thro' II didn't think
half believe that ugly sprite.
Bold, wicked II don't care
In life's long run less harm has done
Because he is so rare.
And one can be so stern with him.
Can make the monster shrink:
But lacka-day, what can we say
TO whining Didn't think
This most lmpleasanty imp of strife
Pursues rs everywhere.
There's scarcely one whole day Of life
He does not cause us care:
Small woes and great he brings the WORLD
Strong ships are forced to sink,
And trains from iron tracks are hurled

When brain is comrade to the heart,
And heart from Soul draw grace,

For lack of resting place.

CRAZED BY RELIGION.
Rev. John William Brodie, a Methods
Divine, Taken to Warm Springs

Rev. John William Brodie, Methodist
Divine, Taken to Warm Springs
Sheriff William Hagan of Teton county
arrived in the city yesterday and left this
morning for Warm Springs, to which
place he is taking Rev. John William
Brodie, Methodist minister who is de-
mented. Rev. Brodie's trouble arises
from religion and was first noticed about
two weeks ago.
Rev. Brodie, about year ago, was the
Methodist minister at Lewiston. At the
last conference he was transferred to
Blackfoot, where he was entrusted with
mission work among the Piegans. In
this work he was very successful and
particularly was this true with Indian
children, many of whom he started in
Christian paths. Two weeks ago he be-
gan to act erratic and talk Of religion in
cessantly. His theory Of religion changed;
he began to expound the idea that God
was making a breed of horses that he was
pasturing on the moon until such time
as they were in a fit condition to send to
the earth. These animals were of su-
perior order and when transferred here
would at once begin to educate man.
Daily this hallucination grew worse until
finally he was taken before commission,
pronounced insane and committed tc
Warm Springs.
Rev. Brodie was one of the young
lights in the conference. He was well
educated and had great inclination to
study To this it is thought his disor-
dered mind is duc.-Great Falls Leader

HOW 1T WAS DEFEATED.

The Powell county bill is defeated.
This simple statement means much to
the people who were earnestly hoping
that it would become law. 1t means
that while just as free to cast a ballot as
ever, the exercise Of that privilege by
them is as useless in securing any benefit
for themselves in county affairs as though
the ballot were thrown in the fire. 1t
means that the voters of Anaconda have
the entire control of the welfare of a
people whom they look upon as prey
to be plucked, their past actions fully
proving that they will stop at nothing to
secure supposed benefits for themselves,
even wasting and destroying property
and running mems homes in their mad
pursuit of self-interest; and this is not a
fairy tale, but sober, cold facts.
But the influences of the result reach
beyond county lines. The chance was
presented to the state by the conditions
surrounding the bill, to continue by de-
feating the bill, or to break by passing it,
despotic power that was controlling its
politics and legislation. Through ma
jority of the representatives of the peo-
pie, Montana has said that she prefers to
remain servant to a corporation rather
than that her sons shall be regnant within
her borders.
The people Of Anaconda, while elated
over their victory,need take to themselves
no credit for it. Not until they had in
voked and secured all the power of the
Anaconda company to aid them in de-
feating handful Of people whom they
despise as weak and insignificant, did
they succeed in wrestling from that hand
full the freedom sopearly won. Had the
contest been left to the management of
Senator Eggleston, Messrs. Thornton,
Mats and other local talent, the Powell
county bill would have had an easy tri-
umph. These gentlemen may have had
the courage, but they lacked the skill and
influence. 1t was not until the fine hand
of John r. Toole, guided by the acuter
mind of his master, began manipulations
that the friends of the bill thought defeat
possible. To see men who have been
dignifed by being elected as representa-
tives of the people break solemn pledges
to friends who trusted them, when told tc
do so by the influence that defeated
Powell county, is to be made certain that
some men are weak or venial. This in
tluence wrought on all parties alike, re-
publican, democrat and populist; all had
men who were ready to "crook the preg-
nant hinges of the knee where thrift may
follow fawning"

letter suggesting the creS tion of such
an office aud filing his application for
the appointment. He expects to get the
place, too, if MIR. Mckinley decides to
have the jester, unless Chauncey NJ. De-
pew enters the race. Tony reminds the
Canton man that in the olden days the
rulers of great nations all had their court
testers, and he does not see why the Gus
tom should not be revived.
Tony Denier was in his day one of the
most famous of American clowns, and
many thousands remember him as he APP
peared in the sawdust ring. AS a pan
tomimist he was celebrated, too, for it
was he who made "Humpty Dumpty"
a household word. A number of years
ago he retired. for he had made for
tune in playing pranks on Harlequin
and turning fliphaps. He invested
good part of his liberal earnings in real
estate near Chicago and sold by the inch
what he had bought by the foot He is
now living in Chicago, enjoying hand
some income with his wife, "a pretty
French girl who figured in his panto-
mime as Columbine. They have a son
who bears his fathers name and follows
the same profession. Tony is liberal
with his wealth and in his way is quite
aphilanthropist, making a number of su-
perannuated actors and circus people the
objects of his benevolence.
In his professional days Denier was
great favorite and enjoyed the friend
ship of the best artists. During the
.'Black Crook" craze of about 20 years
ago he formed a travelling company in
which Fanny Davenport made her first
success. Since his retirement he has
been living very quietly. In the last
campaign he was an enthusiastic sup.
porter of the Republican candidate and
would doubtless be willing to don the
cap and bells again if he thought he could
make things more cheerful about the
White House for Major Mckinley dur
ing his coming term.

opposed their pet measure, and declared
they would get even by voting for the
Powell county bill. This state of affairs
existed up to the day preceding the final
disposition of that measure. The bill
was held back as long as possible in the
committee room in hopes that the popu-
lists could be reconciled in some way or
other, but seeing that all attempts at per-
suasion amounted to nothing, the demo-
Gratis sent for Mayor Thornton, John r..
Toole and j. B. Losee of Anaconda, and
D. j. Hennessy and T. F. Courtenay of
Butte to come over and patch the matter
up. 1t was foregone conclusion that
the Powell county bill would go through
if something was not done and done
right away.
The above named gentlemen arrived
upon the scene in due course of time and
the populists were soon whipped into
line" The populists finally agreed to
vote down the Powell bill. With the ex-
ception of three, all the populists voted
for the preservation of Deer Lodge
county as it now stands.
The populists were told that if they
would support the anti-Powell move
ment, the Anaconda people would sup
port them at the next election in Butte.
They were given to understand that
should the democrats and nopulists re-
fuse to fuse, the republicans would sim
ply step in and take everything in sight
The populists were to have the choice of
mayor and a good share of the remain
ing principal offices if the Powell bill was
defeated. The populists were still smart
ing from the fact that they did not get a
single office in the organization of the
house and did not consent to the deal
until they had promise of enough good
things, practically in Silver Bow county,
to make amends for past Sights.
In spite of the fact that John Byrne of
Butte has been appointed mine inspector
for period of two years, the populists of
Butte are very anxious to see him their
mayor, and if he will accept the nomina-
tion the DAILY democrats are pledged to
elect him for the assistance the popul SITS
rendered in defeating the Powell county
division bill.
If Mr.. Byrne does not accept the may
oraltv under the conditions set forth, or
because he does not think the honor of
the office is worth the difference-$1, 800
between it and the mine inspectorship,
the next man entitled to it, as per the
agreement, is Representative Martin J
Elliot.
The magnitude of the deal is made
more apparent when it is understood that
the support thus obtained for the popu
lists will give them control of the sixth
Legislative assembly. 1t is thus barely
| possible that Montana will be represented
in the United States senate two years
hence by at least one populist senator.

One Of the best known men about the In
dianapolis Board of Trade is Carlos +. Sher-
ard, who for several years has been con-
nected with the house of II. L. Kinney, grain
broker. Mr. Shepard is a bluff, hearty, old

tics and medicine. Notwithstanding his firm
ness in his convictions and the vigor with
which he maintains them he is man of many

times obstinate in their opinions have the
force of character that win admiration and
friendship.

that Mr.. Shepard had received stroke of

his days of usefulness were over, and that
perhaps, his hours were numbered, the deep

"The holiday edition of the Inter

conda properties for the year 1896 at 1870, )
100000 pounds of fine copper. The eX-
act figures of the shipments from the
Anaconda are at hand, showing that dur
ing the past year 125,350,693 pounds of
copper were shipped to eastern points.
The output for the preceding year, 1895,
was 09,7T5,294 pounds of copper, the in
crease last year being 25,575,399 pounds,
or more than 25 per cent.
"The production of silver by the Ana
conda during the past year amounted to
5,433,s26 ounces, a slight decrease from
that OF the preceding year. There was
also decrease in the gold bi-product
from 20,229 ounces for 1895 to 17,411 for
