No Proofs Mt Hand.

He was Yale student sent out on
the plains to gather fossil remains,
and when he saw a little group of
cowboys, one of whom had brought
in a curious bone, he let himself
loose.
Do you know" he began, do
you know that there was time
when the waves Of the Pacific ocean
rolled over the very spot we are now
standing on? This is a bone of an
animal who lived tens of thousands
of years ago. l should say that it
was rhinoceros 10 feet high and
l6 feet long"
Say, mister ar ye givin that
straight?" queried one Of the boys
who had not taken much interest in
the talk.
"Of course l am" was the reply.
How long ago was this world
created2"
Millions and millions of years
ago. Some put it as high aS 80, ,000,-
600 and none less than 10000, ,0OO."
"And that thar rhinoceros-how
long since he was gallivantin around
here ?"
Tens Of thousand of years ago.
When ne lived, there were sharks
100 feet long in the waters"
"Say, now, but whar's yer
proofs?"
"Don't you believe me?n
" It's this way, pard. / say that
ye ar talkin through the top Of yer
hat. Ye demand proofs, and pro-
duce the same! !"
"The same" was a six shooter,
with the muZZle almost touching the
students nose, and as the student
turned as white as snow and his
knees shook under his weight the
cowboy said:
" If ye've got proofs, trOt 'em out,
and We'll look over the papers and
gin ye credit, but if ye can't find
them proofs then ye'd better shet up
and let this crowd do its own
6ggerin."
The student dropped the bone of
the Ia foot rhinocerOs and took Il
quiet walk, and when he had disap-
peared the cowboy put up his gun
and growled:
Why didn't he hev the proofs
with him and pull trigger like a
man? ?"

A Newspaper Guage.

"a community is invariably known by
the kind of newspapers it supports, says
the Bozeman Chronicle. True enough,
aud we believe the best advertisement for
the city of Bozeman, if it citizens wish
to attract eastern people to Bnzeman and
Gallatin county, would be the placing of
Bozeman newspapers in the reading
room and other public places in the
small towns of the east. The same is
true of other Montana towns and cities.
The Montana newspapers are a credit to
the state in spite of the fact that the ma
jority of them are not so we'll supported
as they should be. The desire to help
the business people of its town is natural
to a newspaper, but o frequently these
same business people, while anxious to
get as much free advertising as possible
from their local papers, look upon the
money spent in advertising as so much
given in charity. In addition, there are
people in every community who think it
smart to rail at newspaper men, and
SdilS Il ill|htd ullliOSCOIc especially pt-
signed to magnify the faults of their
newspapers. These same people can be
depended N to make frequent special
requests that a piece of new prejudicial
to them be suppressed.
the Bozeman Chronicle saws also that
"a good local opportunities citizen proud
of his town." That is true of agood citi-
zen, of the n who recognizes the value
of a good newspaper. But there are too
many people in Montana, as in every
other state, who think that a
can collect news and publish it on wind
and good advice. 1t does not occur to
them that a good newspaper always
wishes to be better. Most of the critics
OF newspapers in small places, where the
editor generally has to do a great many
other things than edit" rarely stop to
think that the more time the editor has
to spend in persuading the business men
that they should advertise the less time
he has to make the paper readable and
interesting. 1t is mex to impossible for
the editor of a paper to spend the whole
day in going after what the business
men should bring to him, and then do
really good work at night. A good local
paper makes a good citizen proud of his
town; and good citizens makes the good
local paper proud of its town. SPY their
fruits We shall know them" is true of the
town and its citizens as measured by the
newspaper guage.-Helena Indep end

A recent dispatch from Denver says:
Wilson Perrin, a prominent politician
and wealthy real estate owner, committed
suicide last night by shooting himself in
the head with a revolver. The deed was
the result of worry over financial mat
tiers. The deceased was foreman Of the
jury which tried and convicted the no.
torious DIR. Graves, and his self.destruc-
ton adds one more to the list of strange
fatalities which have followed in the
wake of those connected with that famous
case. Since the trial one OF the attorneys
has gone insane, an eastern newspaper
correspondent, who reported the trial,
jumped from a moving train to death,
three of the witnesses and three of the
jury have suicided, and the principals in
the prosecution have become bankrupt
and separated from their wives by di-
YOrceS.

Ingersoll on Moody.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was inter
viewed in St. Louis about Rev. Dwight
L. Moody, who just close a great revival
there. Col. Iugersoll said:
81 have no doubt that Mr.. Moody in
tends to do right. | have confidence in
his sincerity. Mr.. Moody is n old fash
toned, orthodox Christian, about three
Iourths of a century behind the times.
He still believes in the monster called
jehovah, in the mysterious being known
as the Holy Ghost, and really believes
that his God nee worked at the carpen
ter business in Palestine. Mr.. Moody
also believes in heaven for the believers
and hell for all the rest. And this belief
is the foundation for his happiness. l
think that Mr.. Moody believes that he
can reform men and women by preaching
his religion to them, By talking on sub
iects about which nobody knows any
thing; by describing things that never
happened, and predicting others that
never will. Nothing can excel his conf
dence in a%bsurdities; his reliance on Gre
dulity. Mr.. Moody, as l said before, is a
good man, but his ideas are too old. /
do not think it possible to reform the
world, except through the development
of the brain. You cannot do this by
singing psalms. You must give to the
world new facts, new truths. You must
change physical and mental conditions if
you wish for improvement. Characters
are not formed in a moment. Men often
stop, saying, Il have gone on this road far
enough. am going to change If this
happens during a revival they call it con
version, the work of the Holy Ghost, but,
after all, it is natural. There comes the
time in the life of a dog when he stops
running after his tail and settles down.
Mr.. Moody would probably say the dog
had been converted. So there comes a
time in the life of a horse when he stops
kicking at the whippletree, pulls his
share of the load and contentedly MUNICH
es his oats, but nobody thinks this is the
work Of the Holy Ghost. SO there comes
a time in the life of a young man when
he feels the touch of responsibility and
when he says that the time of playing is
over and he's got to work. MIR. Moody
calls this conversion. | call this as nat
nral as it would be to take another road
when you find you're OF the wrong one"

chief magistrate Of this country, with
both houses of congress OF his own polit-
ical persuasion and ready to do his bid
ding. He has but just surrendered his
high office. While he was president
there was profound peace, ample crops,
no p~estilences, no unusual calamities OF
any kind: moreover, congress performed
his arbitrary will, and still while he was
president he increased the debt of the
country by 100000, 900, and the interest
bearing debt by $162, 100000; in the same
time property deprecated 20 per cent;
tens of thousands of homes were lost to
their owners: hundreds Of thousands
yes, m~illions-of men We're thrown out Of
employment; the crimes Of the country
increased 500 per cent; more hopes and
hearts were broken hal ever in any four
previous years, and still though Mr..
Cleveland ruled with more arbitrary OPP
p~ressiveness than any former president,
now, when only six weeks have passed
since the disgraceful record closed, with
his old serene ~otliviousness to the posi-
ton he holds, he rises to assure his asso-
ciate fossils that they are all %"anxious to
do something toward restoring the pros
perity of our fellow citizens and protect
ing the fair fame of our nation against
shame and scandal" Nothing more gro
tesque was ever offered to a waiting
world, at least nothing since. he emerged
from the beer saloons of Buffalo to pose
as the incarnation of reform and integrity.
His first assault is upon the "agitators'
and ''demagogues" who have "cultivated
a growth of sectional and class suspicion
and distrust." This is delicious to come
from a man who a year ago denounced a
whole row of sovereign states SIS "unwel-
come" Then see the sublime egotism
with which he condemns silver and all
who believe its restoration is . national
necessity. He does not hesitate to treat
with scorn all the great thinkers who
have dealt with the question, butte doubt
alike their wisdom and their integrity,
and all he has behind him is his own
opinion, which was pumped into him by
Dan Manning and confirmed by the for
tune which those in New York who
wanted to use him made for him. Still
he puts great emphasis upon "honest &C
cumulation,' and is 'grieved that the
habit and necessity of individual effort
and struggle are described as unjutidable
burdens" Still the gentleman now has
in his pockets $2,000,000, some say twice
that amount, which eight years ago were
in other peoples pockets. When will
the country escape the atfliction Of Gro

reason for departing from them. He
thinks you should proceed up the Rrse-
bud until you ascertain definitely the
of leads, should it be found Gas it appears
almost certain it will be found) to turn
towards the Little Horn. He thinks that
you should proceed southwark, perhaps,
as far as the headwaters of the Tongue,
and then turn towards the Little Horn,
feeling constantly however, to the left, so
as to preclude the possibility of escape
of the Indians to the south or southeast
by passing around your left flank. The
column Of Col. Gibbon is now in motion
for the mouth of the Big Horn; as soon
as it reaches that point it will cross the
Yellowstone and move up at least as far
as the forks of the Big and Little Horns.
OF course its future movements must be
controlled by circumstances as they
arise, but it is hoped that the Indians, if
upon the Little Horn, may be SO nearly
enclosed by the two columns that their
escape may be impossible.
The department commander desires
that on your way up the Rosebud you
should thoroughly examine the upper
part of Tulloch creek and that you should
endeavor to send a scout through to Col.
Gibbons column with information of the
result of your examination. The lower
part of this creek will be examined by a
detachment from Col. Gibbons command.
The supply steamers will be pushed up
the Big Horn as far as the forks, if the
river is found to be navigable for that
distance, and the department commander,
who will accompany the column of Col.
Gibbon, desires you will report to him
there not later than the expiration of the

ever made in the United States was that
in New York city or Tuesday last, on
the occasion of the dedication of the
Grant monument. Prominent people

was with Grant at West Point, served with
him in the same regiment before the
war, and as a general of the Confeder-
ate army led many assault against the
Union armies. The gallant old general,
now bent with age, especially requested
the press to publish a statement, "all
written by his now enfeebled hand"
in which he said:
