known the Bryan party were loca+fd,
and Mr.. Bryan was soon on the plat
form bowling his acknowledgements to
the enthusiastic, cheering multitude.
Senator Lee Mantle made the introduce
tory speech in few words in which
he was loudly cheered. When Mr.
Bryan bowed and began his remarks
the applause was deafening. He spoke
or probably twenty minutes and during
this talk his auditors seemed almost
wild with enthusiasm. Like all his
former speeches the short one at Drum
mOnd pleased his bearers immensely,
as he has very easy and natural flow
of language, and he always introduces
just enough humor into his speeches
to please his hearers. Among other
things he said that he thought it hard
ly necessary to talk bi-metallism to
his present audience, as they bad al
ready been converted. He stated that
he had recently received a letter of
congratulation from an admirer on
his being elected to the presidency of
the United States. ! This man said
that previous to the election the gold
bug press had predicted disaster and
ruin, business and bank failures if he
(Bryan) should be elected, and as all
these things were happening, the
writer Of the letter inferred that Bryan
must certainly have been elected.
Hence, the congratulation.
He spoke Of the death grip the trusts
and combinations had OH the people
of the country, whom they were throt-

states, and said that a'great many peo-

by an honest vote. He dwelt strongly
upon the necessity of keeping up the
gallant fight for bi-metallism and en-
couraged his auditors to stronger and
more determined effort in that direc-
ton, saying that he was positive
that the free coinage of gold and silver
at the ratio of 16 to one would win in
the end, because it is right. He was
firm believer that the United States

YHEY HONOR BRYAN
A Big Excursion From Philipsburg to
DrummOnd.
BRYAN DELIVERS AN ADDRESS
Enthusiastic Greeting of the Citizens o1
the Chief Silver County of Montana
to Silver's Chanpion-Notes.

The visit of Hon. w. j. Bryan to
Montana and the fact that the car bear
ing the distinguished party would pass
Drummond going to and coming from
Hamilton, formed the necleus for the
getting up of an excursion to Drum
mend late Tuesday evening. After con-
siderable telegraphing to Hon. G. S.
Hartman and the st. Paul and Missoula
offices of the Northern Pacific railway
company, it was definitely settled that
the excursion would take place and Mr.
Abbey, agent for the railway company
in Philipsburg, proceeded to make all
arrangements. He sent after an extra
passenger coach, thinking that would
be sufficient for tho crowd, but in this
he was mistaken, rs the coaches were
filled almost exclusively with ladies
aud children, and two freight cars,
beside the baggage car were pressed
into service for the accommodation Of
the large crowd.
The excursionists began to flock to-
ward the railway depot as early us 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, over an Eour
before the departure of the train.
Shorty before 5 o'cock the Philipsburg
Silver Cornet Band marched to the de-
pot, followed by a large crowd. and
shortly after the train was speeding
under way with Conductor Ward in
charge and Engineer Herring at the
throttle.
Upon arriving at Drummond some
hasty arrangements were made in pro-
viding accommodations for the speak
ing. When the east bound train ar
rived at the depot the crowd made a
rush for the rear car in which it was

Something About the Alaskan Gold
Fields.

The discovery of immeasurable wealth
in the Klondike gold fields and along
the YuOkn river in the far north is
the sensation of the century. Men
who few months ago had nothing,
have gained great fortunes at single
bound. The eyes of millions are cast
covetously upon the glittering, alluring
gold which only awaits the coming of
fortune seeker. What the great masses
of people want now is full, accurate,
definite information about this wonder
full land of gold. How are they to get
there, how much will it cost, what
must they take, how shall they proceed
to get mine, what kind of country
is it, how is the climate, what about
the population, resources, history, gov
ernment, Indian villages, mining
camps. the course of the great Yukon,
its gold yielding tributaries, mountain
systems. passes, and, in brief, all that
is known of this wonderful territory
Of fabulous riches? This is what the
people demand. How are they going
to get it? Obviously not from the
cheap, unreliable books which are al

At the close of Bryan's remarks he
started for the train, but it was some
time before he could get there owing
to the scramble of the crowd TO get a
chance to shake hands with him.
There were loud calls for Mrs Bryan,
and as soon as Mr.. Bryan reached the
train Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and children
came out on the rear platform and
smiled and bowed to the cheering

But there is value which no words
can fully reveal in life made perfect by
good deeds and unsel6sh labors to help
and redeem the suffering and the de-
graded. There is an infinite difference
between lie of selfish indulgence and a
life which secures divine happiness by
living to do good to others"-a senti-
ment whose worth Mrs. Beecher's own
life amply justified.
Mrs. Beecher's physical and mental
pc overs were fully maintained up to the
time, few weeks ago, when she suffered
severe fall in an attack OF vertigo, and
since then it had scarcely been a matter
Of question that her days were numbered.
Not quite two years ago, when almost
eighty-three years old, she went with her
grandson, Samuel Scoville, Jr., across the
continent to visit her youngest son,
Herbert Foote Beecher, pilot OF the
Uuited States revenue cutters of Puget
Sound. She accomplished the Journey
and returned with little fatigue and no
harm. At that time it was her purpose
to write a life OF her husband, but
whether she ever did more than produce
the desultory "reminiscences which have
been appearing recently is not yet pub
licly known. During the past year Mrs.
Beecher contributed series of articles to
the New York Sunday World, whose titles
suggest the trend of the thought of this
lovely old lady.
Most of her married life was spent in
Brooklyn, where Mr.. Beecher's notable
career begun in 1S47, unfolded to its
fullest development, and was finally
closed by death in 1887 She stood by
him through thick and thin, and lent all
the energies of her vigorous, yet nervous
nature to his assistance. She helped him
equip troops tor the civil war, and was
ever in full sympathy with Mr.. Beecher
on all subjects, and alter his death she
never tired of referring to him as her
ideal OF man and husband.
Mrs. Beecher was slight in figure, brisk
in movement, with an unassuming mode
of living, and an old-fashioned manner of
speech. Until last November she could
90 about and work and write as usual,
