RIDING A HOBBY.

The Neihart Miner is making an
unenviable record by opposing the
duties placed by the amended Ding
ley bill upon wool and hides, two i'm
portant Montana products. That Or
gan, usually fairly American upon
public questions, becomes as IMAM
erican as as was Cleveland in the day
of his greatest glory. The wool
growers of Montana, who constitute
a most important factor in her gener-
al welfare, have suffered every posi-
BILE abuse from the past administra-
ton. Many succumbed to their bur
den of adversely, losing everything
they had. Now, when the Mckinley
administration offers a ray of hope to
this industry, which will increase the
to Montana, from wool alone
$1O,O00,OO0 annually, that paper sees
cause to oppose such a measure.
We of a silver producing district
cannot afford to be envious of our
neighbors. If we are not prosperous,
let us earnestly hope that our neigh
hors may be prosperous. Our day
will surely come, when these mount
aims shall yield up their riches to a
waiting and anxious world; but we
do not aid the cause of silver by him
dering the cause of protection.
For what difference to us is a 3
cent, or a 5 cent duty on wool? So
long as it benefits any class of our
people, E IT PASS! For our fight
is for reconciliation of silver, and
we should bend every energy and
sacrifice every minor issue to our one
great desire. For the blasting infu.
ences of a free trade administration
are still upon MS; and we should hal.
with joy any movement to reverse
the engines which gave this govern
ment its motive force during the las
four years.

lists we're to be at the Berea station,
and all the railroad men were to
meet them there.
1--WE came down from Cincinnati
on a special train, and I was study
ing up every possible plan how I
was going to get that business for
my road, but no way appeared until
were within a dozen miles of
Berea. There it came to me, and 1
slipped around and had a little talk
with the engineer, who was quite
willing to help me out by letting
his engine drop a cog or do some
other peculiar and unexpected thing,
as locomotives have a way of doing.
This she did about six miles out and
near a siding, where the engineer
pulled in and proceeded to repair
the damage, the men, who were in
a hurry to getto Berea, putting in
their time cussing the engine, the
road and me.
"As for myself, when l had fixed
it with the engineer, I dropped off
the train as it was leaving the sta
ton, and the men on board didn't
more than discover that I had disap-
peared until the accident happened
that delayed them two hours or
nor on that siding. In the mean
time I wired my agent at Berea-
you see, this all took place on my
own line of road, so it was a good
deal easier-to make a rate to the
excursionists So. so lower than any
figure yet given them, and let them
have half an, hour to decide in, or
the whole rate would go up to the
regular price. Of course the excur-
sionists didn't know that / had the
agents corraled on a siding. They
didn't know anything except that it
was the lowest offer they had re-
ceived, and after chewing awhile on
it my man wired me that my offer
was accepted.
What would be the result when
they found out about the other
agents and what kind of crazy offers
those fellows might make to beat
me out of the business unless / had
some kind of a clincher, / didn't
know, so I sent word to my agent to
collect $40 on each ticket, or the rate
would go up to regular. This was
easy enough, for they knew they
had a good thing, and the money
came in with a rush. Then my man
telegraphed that he had collected
over 81, 200 and had it locked up in
the safe, and he would like to know
what to do next. l wired back the
short word Escape" and half All
hour later my engineer, having re-
paired the break to his machinery,
pulled into the station at Berea with
his profane load of railroad men.
"What happened then utterly
passes description, and / fancy if
had been there ! would have been

merciless creditors. We must pay
cash for what we buy. Our two
thousand FIVE hundred readers can
brighten u days, and turn our
mourning to glad songs of joy, if
they but yield to this feeble request.
For the jingle of silver is the joy of
the creditor, and the conscience of
the debtor smarts continually.

"Store up the power and use it, Abe?"
queried the colonel.

LEARNED A LESSON.
A ScorCfer Runs Into Lady Rider
and Gets Worsted.

A young man named Vordier was rid
ing bicycle on the upper terrace at the
rear of the Capitol last evening. He
rounded the southwest corner of the
building at a speed that no one should
attempt around any corner where there
are pedestrians and riders. A young
woman coming in the opposite direction
on a wheel, and it is said on the wrong
side of the way, became confused and
Vordier's wheel collided with hers. She
escaped with a few scratches, though
thrown violently to the pavement.
The young man did not fare SO we'll.
He was shot from his wheel with great
force, landing on his side, and was rem
dered unconscious. He was taken in a
buggy to the rooms of the Capital City
Wheelmen, where every possible atten-
ton was shown to him and a physician
was called to attend him. In the course
of three-ouarters of an hour he was
able to sit up, and finally to go to his
home. He suffered apparently from no
more than a very severe shock, but he
learned a lesson about fast wheeling
that ought to be profitable 20 him and
a warning to all other cyclists.

A COMPLICATED MATTER.
Commissioner Williamson Enjoined
From Selling Property.

F. X. Elmer has commenced suit in the
Superior Court against Leo Fischer and
others on chattel mortgage for $735 30
made to him by Leo Fischer on April
% 1897.
The complaint alleges that on April
10, 1894, Leo Fischer executed to his
codefendant, Jacob Fischer, a promis-

bic portion of the note has been paid
and that now not more than $500 re-
mains unpaid.
He is also informed that since the
mortgage to Fischer, and previous to the
mortgage given to him, much of the
furniture in the hotel at the time the
Fischer mortgage was given has been
removed, and that a large part of it has
become impaired and worthless by use,
and that a large quantity of furniture
and upholstery, together with a safe,
has been placed in the house by Leo
Fischer, which was in the hotel at he
time PLAINTIFFS mortgage was made, and
Fischer's mortgage. He cannot. how
