The Finest Train in the World.

The finest train IN the world is the
"New North Western Limited" which
leaves Minneapolis and St. Paul every
night for Chicago, via the Northwestern
line. This magnificent train, from the
mammoth engine, patterned after the ia
"999." to the last car in the train,
is brand new, and represents the latest
and best ideas for absolute comfort and
luxury while travelling.
Besides the splendid buffet library car
really a clubroom on wheels, there is a
magnificent private compartment sleep
ing car, just the thing for ladies, famil
les or those desiring privacy, luxuriousiy
appointed standard sleeping cars and the
most comfortable and well-equipped day

This "New Limited" train is admitted
by the press as we'll as by thousands of
people of Minnesota and states west who
have inspected it, and also by many
Others of this western country who have
recently rode on it, as being without any
question the finest tram in the world,
and no extra charge is made for any class
of passengers for its superior accommo-
dations.

Ladies' and gentlemen: We have once
more met to celebrate the fourth of july
to commemorate the birth of our be-
loved country. 1t is Il day of patriotic
exuberan2c, a day when young and old
rejoice and exchange greetings. 1t is
mcte and proper that on this day of glo-
rious commemoration we should dwell
with fondness upon the past achieve
ments of our country, and the heroic
deeds of our patriots.
1t is then of patriotism | would speak
to you to-day; for not in guns, not
in ships, not in fortresses, but in II sol
diers patriotism lies the safety of Il ma
ton.
When n nation is honest. the average
intelligence high. and all are allowed Il
share in the duties and responsibilities
of the government, no conquest from
abroad need be feared. In CHANGING over
the history of the world we find unmis-
taxable evidence of the proof that when
a people were allowed a voice in making
their W laws, when education and in
telligence were fostered, unity, happi-
ness and prosperity have prevailed, and
national wealth has increased.
Look to Rome for an example. While
her citizens were allowed a voice in the
making of laws, and the education of her
youth was advanced, she, the once proud
mistress of the world, was formidable.
With Ignorance and prejudice enthroned
in the minds of the voters, they become
an easy prey to corrupt leaders, and the
social soil is fertile for the reception and
termination Of the seeds of political
falschoOd.
They may cry out "Patriotism, patri-
otism," but there is none. A general
and generous education of the people,
and a spirit of justice and liberation of
the views and opinions of others i'm
planted in the minds and hearts of all,
will alone make patriots.
Greece supplies another illustration of
the valOr Of nations. But her power and
wealth and her apparent security from
foreign foes inspired her people with a
vain belief in her permanency, which ex-
posed them to the war of elements that

The Retired Burglar.

Il don't think l was ever very much
scared, said the retired burglar, "but
l have been as much scared by slight,
little things, that were of no real ao-
count, as by anything else. For in
stance, by the scratching of a rat, start
ing up suddenly and running around in
the wall. l was never more disturbed
than L was once by the absolute still
ness OF a room that 1 was in. 1t was
dead and oppressive, and I couldn't &C.
count for it.
81 swung my lamp around and saw
the usual things that you might expect
to see i'll such aJroom-it was a dining
accommodating a clock on the mantel.
1t was a pendulum clock, one of the
kind that has a little clear space in the
lower part of the glass front, through
which you car see the pendulum as 1t
swings back and forth. The lamp sim
ply swept across the face of the clock,
as l swung it around, but an instant
later l realized that I had seen no pen
dulum swinging back and forth behind
that clear space. 1t wasn't swinging.
The clock had stopped.
Il set my lamp ON the shelf and
opened the door of the clock and started
up the pendulum, and then l heard the
regular ticking of the clock. And that
was all that was wanted. But what q
relief it was to zeal it! 1 could sort out
the spoons now with a cheerful spirit"

On Thursday evening the A. o. u. w.

hall and installed officers in a semi-pub-
lie manner. The ID. of III. first held its
regular business session, after which the
doors were thrown open and installation
began. Mrs. II. w. Soule was deputy

was especially interesting. The follow

slow music while the people were thaw-

casion, and wished they would have in

A Sermon With a Point to 1t,

A clergyman in the west country had
two c~urates, IL a comparatively old
man, the other very young. With the
former he had not been able to work
agreeably, and ON being invited to an
other living he accepted it and took
the young curate with him. Naturally
there was a farewell sermon, and we
can imagine the feelings of the curate
who was to be left behind when he
heard the text given out, "Abide ye
here with the ass, and l and the lad
will go yonder and worship"
Sterne once declared in regard to the
widely respected maxim, "De mortuis
nil nisi bonum." that there was nothing
right about it but its Latin. This view
was evidently shared by a certain Edin.

preach the funeral sermon of a misery
brother cleric, chose as his text the
words, ''And the beggar died. Cham.

THE ALPHABET.

The Cherokee alphabet invented by Sc.
quoyah George Guess) contains IS char.
acters.
the Greeks the third letter, G., was pro.
nounced as G, like the Greek Gamma.
According to an estimate made by Brew.
er, the use of consonants in our language
as proportional to the vowels is 6, 1877 to
3,400.
W is simply double U, no distinction
being formerly made in the shape of the
U and V. In some languages it is called
double Wee.
G is the third letter in all alphabets de.
rived from the Greek mt Roman, but
with the ancients it is believed to have
had the sound of g..
The intent of every alphabet is to fur
nish one letter for every sound, but it il
believed there is no alphabet which fully
fulfills this purpose.
U and V were, until 100 years ago, the
same letter, and interchangeable. The
Hebrew name for the letter V is Vay. a
hook, the significance of the name being
obvious.
The letter Y was formerly called tn.
Samian letter. 1t was used by Pythagoras
as an emblem of the narrow path of vir-
tue, which if deviated from the farther the
lines extended and the wider the breach.
1t is a curious fact that in the earliest
Latin monuments the letter u is found,
after which, for hundreds of years, it was
disused, and in the time of Cicero was
again brought into the alphabet as an in
y%ention.
1t is a curious fact that the Mexican
picture writing, which was a rude attempt
ut MI alphabet, was in olumnS like the
Chinese, but read from the bottom to the
top. The earlier manuscripts written by
Mexican scholars made an attempt to fol
low this style.

THE GAME OF BLUFF GOES ON.
Contrary to Judicial Decision, the
Old Council Shuts out the New,
and Does the City's Business.
Paying out the City Money for Legal
Opinions and Amy Old Thing.
The Public Be Did.

The old city council which was so
completely turned down in the last
spring election is still holding on, re-
CARELESS of public sentiment or court
decisions, paying out city money, and
defying the new duly elected council to
take their seats. This is nothing more
than defiance of law, or justice. Never
have the people dreamed that their chos-
EN- representatives could thus be driven
out by the old council whose stolidity is
their only recommendation and who are
making themselves the laughing stock
of the town and of the outside world.
If a town council in Montana can thus
perpetuate itself in defiance of law and
the popular will, then it is time for lib
erty loving citizens to move to Mexico
or Spain.
The old council met last Tuesday ev-
ening, and although the members of the
new council elect appeared and applied
for their seats the privileges of the flool
We're denied them. They requested the
council to grant them seats under tho
ruling of the district court, but the re.
quest was not needed. Messrs Arthur
and Walker ordered them to pay oui
none of the city funds if they desired tc
avoid trouble, but in the face of the ord.
er, the council ordered the payment o.
bills to the amount of $S93.35 and ord,
cred warrants drawn for the same.
The bulls mid are rs fnllnMs.
