The pastor % ST. Johns Church, at
streatham, England, ministers to the
spiritual wants Of a congregation COM
posed almost exclusively Of poor peo-
pie. Nevertheless he devised a plan
by which his flock could do something
handsome for charity. Many OF his
parishioners arc cottagers, and nearly
all keep chickens or ducks Therefore
the congregation was asked u bring
offerings in the shape OF new-lald eggs
for the sick and convalescent in the
hospitals. More than 5000 eggs were
donated, and 4,972 were safely stacked
in the chancel After the evening serV-
ice they were repacked and sent TO the
medical charities for consumption By
the patients.
Is Venus "A Deserted World7
Much difference Of opinion exists
concerning recent observations OF the
the planet Venus. Signor Schiaparel-
II and Mr.. Perciyal Lowell assert that
the planet always keeps the same side
toward the sun, and Mr.. Lowell thinks
II Is lifeless desert, baked on one
side and frozen on the other. On the
other hand Monsieur Camille Flam-
marion. after reviewing the evidence
OF various observers, announces the
conclusion that "the maps Of Venus
made up TO the present time are allu-
sions" He thinks the planets at
mosphere prevents US from seeing It's
real surface.

~PHILBROOK ITE1S.

Mrs. Earl Matthias is visiting at f.
Nj. Porter's this week.
Little Jessie Wiser, who was quite
sick with In grippe, is able to be out.
The la grippe continues to be
fashionable in this vicinity, and n
number are. still victims.
Ira Nash and Jessie Britain of
Wyoming. have rented VIM. Wal
ling's place for the ensuing year
John and Charlie, who have been
attending commercial schoolin Great
Falls since last fall, are expected
home the last of the week.
The Methodist parsonage is being
moved from Philbrook to Pleasant
Valley, and its absence makes a
noticeable vacant place in Philbrook.
PhilbroOk came near having to
record another serious accident last
week. On Sunday evening, as Mr.
and Mrs. Meek Payne were prepar-
ing to leave Mr.. Wiser's, and while
Mr.. Payne was arranging the robes
around his wife, the horse, a gentle
but very restless animal, became
anxious to start home. The tie rope
having been lost since leaving home,
she was tied with a line which she
had succeeded i'm unfastening, IN
known to Mr.. Payne, and upon
finding herself loose started home at
such a brisk rate as to render it i'm
possible for him to catch her. Both
lines being down, Mrs. Payne could
not stop her, so jumped out striking
on her head, knocking her senseless,
in which condition she remained
sometime. Fortunately no injuries
We're sustained but Al few severe
bruises which confined her to her bed
for the past week and caused no
little suffering. The horse arrived
at home uninjured as did the buggy,
which, however, was badly wrecked
as the horse turned in at the gate.

Poison Hunger.

More than the hunger after bread.
than the frenzy of love or hatred,
tine poison-hunger overpowers every
ether instinct, and even the fear of
death. In Mexico, the surgeon of the
Second zouaves was one night awak-
cred by the growing of his spaniel.
and thought he saw n man crawling out
of hIs tent. The next day the captain
informed the company that some fellow
had entered the hospital camp with
Lurglarious intent, and that he had in
structed the sentries to arrest or shoot
all nocturnal trespassers. About a
week after the doctor was again awak-
ened by his dog, and, lighting a match.
he distinguished the figure of a large
man crawling from under his table car
rying a large book. He called for him
to stop, cooking his pistol at the same
time. but the fellow made n rush for the
door. and at the same moment was
floored by a bail that penetrated his
skull. He lived long enough to confess
his desperate enterprise. His regiment
had been stationed at Algiers. where
he learned to smoke opium. and having
exhausted his supply and his financial
esources.h he felt that life was no long
or worth living, and resolved to risk
il in the attempt at abducting the doc
tors medicine chest.-Detroit Free

men enlist they will be required to
take an oath of allegiance to the
United States and the State of Mon
tana and for three years thereafter,
unless sooner discharged for good
and sufficient cause, will be subject
to the call of their commander-in-
chief, Gov. Smith. Governor
Smith, in an interview at Helena,
has expressed his intention of
promptly offering to the president
the National Gnard of this state in
the event of the opening of hostili-
ties and Adjutant General brennan
has said that he thought 100 per
cent of the boys would respond to
the call. Certainly, should the Lew
istown company be organized when
that call is made. we do not want
laggards in the ranks-every man
should be prepared to lay aside his
peaceful pursuits and shoulder his
musket. But even those who do
not wish to respond to the call can
not easily avoid it, except by play
ing the role OF traitor, for every man
of them has duly enlisted and is SUBJ
iect to immediate draft.
The ARGUS does not wish to even
appear to oppose h organization
of a company OF the National Guard
in Lewistown. We are heartily in ia
vor OF it and especially at this time.
But those who enlist must be pre-
pared to meet any emergency which
may arise. Not Il man of them, we
trust, will be found Sinking his duty
when the time comes for action. 1t
would be Lewistown's greatest
pride could she send forth to do
battle for the nations honor a full
company OF her sturdy fathers and
sons.
But, men and boys, remember, sad
will be the parting with wives,
mothers and sweethearts whom you
may never live to see again. Those
who are left behind must be pro-
vided for-yourd debt to your country
is no greater tnan that to your
mother, wife or children, but is equal
thereto.
Let us show our patriotism by or
ganizing at once, but let every man
enlisted be ready when the call

The National Guard.

The organization of n company of
the National Guard in Lewistown is
a serious matter-especially SO ut
this time because the country seems
on the verge of a crisis and many of
our public men believe that we are
about to be called upon to draw the
sword and go forth to battle. In
the event of war with Spain the
heaviest fighting would, without
doubt, be upon the sea. yet a con-
siderable number of troops would be
needed. War once begun it is doubt
full to say where it will end and COM
plications might ensue which would
demand that the full strength of this
country, on both land and sea, be
put forth. War is no child's play
and everyone who joins the guard at
this time must be prepared t. go
when called.
Some fifty or sixty young and mid
dle-aged men OF Lewistown have ex-
pressed their intention of enlisting
in the company Of the National
Guard to be mustered into service
this week by Lieut.. Wallace, assis-
tant adjutant general. When these

Where Is He ssAt."

AS commented upon last week the
are holding an interesting debate
concerning the standing OF Congress
man Hartman relative to the inter
ests of Montana, the former contend
ing and the latter denying that
Hartman has proven unfaithful to
M Of the great interests OF Mon
tana. While it seems unfair for
other papers to chip in on either
side, even though the Recorder seems
to be getting much the worst of it.
the following from the Helena indie
dendent on the subject, is worthy OF
note:
but Mr.. Hartman can well afford
to stand upon his record with refer
ence to the Dingley tariff bill. He
ought to be proud of his refusal to
vote for that measure, which was
framed chiefly on the lines of benefits
and bounties to eastern manufacture
ers and has achieved it's principal
success in the line of breeding trusts.
Besides, MIR. Hartman's refusal to
support Dingley's trust-breeding,
misunderstanding bill is in line with
his recent declaration in favor OF the
Chicago platform, which stands for
a tariff that will produce the revenue
received by the government when
economically administered. so i'm,
posed as to extend it's beneficial ef.
fects to all sections of the country.
"Mr. Hartman is not looking foI
any two-plank platform tostand on:
h structure erected at Chicago in
1896 is just his size"
We agree with you. Hartman
stands squarely on the Chicago
platform-free trade, anarchy. states

A favorite assertion of the Bryan
lied press, concerning the vote ON
the Teller resolution in the house
last month, is that many senators
and representatives who voted for
the Matthews resolution twenty
years ago, voted against h same
resolution when presented by Sena-
tor Teller this year, and that Presi-
dent Mckinley, who made n speech
in it's favor in 1873, is opposed to it
now. The latest exchange to raise
this point is the Billings Times. Let
us inquire whether the editor of the
Times has not changed his opinion
on many subjects during the past
twenty years. If he has not he must
admit to being n decided back num-
Der. In 1878 the commercial ratio of
silver to gold was 1874, or the COM
mercial value of a silver dollar at
that time was about $1.15. This
year however, the commercial ratio
is about 30, or the commercial value
of a silver dollar about 60 cents.
What was fair in 1878 is not fair in
1898 and President Mckinley and his
party are honest enough to change
their opinions. Would the editor OF
the Times today accept h same
amount in payment for a town lot
in Billings as that lot was worth
twenty years ago? If he has not
changed his figure to correspond
with changed conditions, let him up,
braid the Republicans for voting diff
ferently in 1898 than they did in 1878.

NO HASTE MANIFESTED
The Report May be Delayed I'm
til the Elaine Disaster Is
Well Nigh Forgotten.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2s-At the
close of Office hours a telegram came
to the navy department from Admir-
al Sicard-at Key West, in the follow
ing terms:
KEY WEST, Feb. 2S.-To the Sec
rotary of the Navy, Washington:
Court OF inquiry will conclude SEES
sion at Key West today. They must
resume session at Havana to obtain
evidence OF divers after further work
upon the wreck.
SIcARD."
The important feature OF this COM
munication is the declaration that
the court will resume at Havana.
1t puts at rest rumors that have
been current for some days past that
the court was not to return to Ha-
vana for the reason that it had dis
covered the cause of the sinking OF
the Maine, which was not an acct
dent, and that they had consequently
no further business in Havana.
One important deduction to be
drawn from the message was that
the report Of the court of inquiry
can scarcely be expected for several
weeks to come. The court will be
occupied at Key West for some days
at least in taking the testimony oi
the survivors there. Then upon the
return to Havana it is expected that
a good deal of time must elaspe
before the divers can get through the
mud which now encompasses the
lower part of the wreck of the Maine
and examine the bottom After this
is done the court must deliberate in
order to secure an agreement upon
their findings, the prevalent belief a,
the navy department being that vi
to this moment the court has not
once undertaken to compare notes
and endeavor to reach such III
agreement.
