BY WHAT STGNf

Good times are, like individual hsppi-
ness, something TO look backward to as a
memory and forward to as an expecta'
ton. No one ever seems to realize their
presence in any particular day or year.
Probably the Coal Oil Johnies and the
realize that times are good with them
when they stop to think about it but, to
many, times are always bad and to most
they never seem very good. To one in
pain or surrounded by sickness and
death, or in hunger and actual want, the
days in his memory when he was not
hungry. not in pain nor with sickness and
death around him seem by contrast to
have been pretty good days. Those who
pretend to see good times now are trying
to bumbug themselves or somebody else
or they are making ii matter of Boosting
one place over another. 1t is always easy
to imagine that other people are prosper

then he goes back to Seattle and tells
them there that times are good in Yaki.
ma. What are good times, anyhow, if
not local fiction, memory, or all expeC-
tstion. We cannot see them here, nor
can the Seattle man see much Of them
around himself. 10 1Ss67-S and 8 we were
just getting ready for good times. In
1891 and =, We looked back and found
that the times that had gone were good.
Perhaps times are good now, and We
don't know it. Wouldn't it be joke on
US if We were to sometime find that we,
in 1897, were waiting for something that
was all around us, though nobody but
Judge Lewis could see it, One half the
world is waiting for Messiah, while the
other half feels certain that he has
come and gone. BY what sign shall We
know good times?

Word reaches Great Falls, Mont, that
G. j. Mcnamara, the northern Montana
cattle king, has purchased the ~ n
stock brand of The Home Land and Cattle
Company of st. Louis, and is now on his
way to that place to arrange the details
of the deal. 1t is the largest stock trans
action that has ever been made in the
state. 1t includes from 5000 to $4,000
head of cattle, and the price paid, while
not definitely known, is said to run far
into the hundreds of thousands. This
stock, it has been known for long time
has been on the market and week or 80
ago WAS reported to have been sold to
Matt and JEFF Ryan, but this now turns
out to have been all error. The purchase
of this bunch places Mr.. Mcnamara far
in the lead in number of cattle owned of
any individual owner in the northwest.
The Home Land and Cattle Company, it
is said, has determined to 90 out of the
stock business, and hereafter their inter
ests in Montana will be confined entirely
to land and other pursuits.

Dynamiting the Pullman College.


\ sensation was created in Pullman
on Thursday night of last week by the
explosion of a dynamite bomb which
had been placed in front.of the door of one
of the professors in the boys DO mitory
OF the state agricultural college.
The explosion made report like the
sound OF cannon. Seven transom
lights and IL window lights were broken
out of the building and the doors,
partition walls, ceilings and floors
OF the first and second floors of
the building were terribly shattered.
Plastering and glass was thrown
over every room on the first floor, lamps
broken and general havoc created Had
the bomb been confined instead OF lying
on the hall floor the entire building would
doubtless have been wrecked and proba-
bly, score or more persons injured, il
not killed outright.
The bomb consisted of piece of an
iron bedstead leg, about Is inches long,
"hiNh was Pl"sseu up NJ ohe emu anu d
stick of dynamite encased therein and
thoroughly packed. 1t is thought fuse
about two feet long was attached.
The faculty have been busy endeavor-
ing to find clew to the miscreant, and
while one student was expelled the evil
dence against him was not strong, and
he has employed an attorney and intends
to fight the case. Some think that it
vas intended as joke and that the per-
petrator did not realize the damage that
could be done, but all unite in the hope
that punishment will be justly dealt out
in order that a whoeso me lesson may be
taught.
