BRYAN'S VOTE IN 1896.

The old saying that figures am lie
is successfully controverted by the math-
ematician of the Helena Independent.
His success in figuring out parallels be-
tween George Washington and Aguin-
aldo, and how the Great Falls smelter
will be moved to Anaconda and the
Heinze smelter to Helena, and numerous
other complicated problems, led him in
a rash moment of ov~er-confidence to at
tack the proposition that 5000, 900 nom
democrats voted for Bryan in 1896. 1t
has been generally conceded by good
judges of the situation, who had no mo-
tive other than to reach an approximately
correct conclusion as to the political
status in 1896, that about 1000, 900 silver
republicans and about 1000, 900 populists
voted for the democratic nominee. This
the Independent disputes, juggling with
figures through half a column of guess
work to prove it's point. but finally leay-
ing the proposition in a chaotic condition
with Its as~severation fortified by nothing
but its own lamentably unripe opinion.

The Christian world is for peace, The

WHEN BRYAN VISITS MONTANA.

The fact that Mr.. Bryan is visiting in
Colorado, leads up to the hope that he
may come to Montana n straighten out
matters a little for the boys. There are
several things to which his energies
might be directed with profit between
meals while in this state.
The regulation of the ratio of 16 to 1
by the leading democratic press, n the
acquiescence in such disloyalty to the
free coinage question by the smaller fry.
is a case wherein Mr.. Bryan might shine
to good advantage. Perhaps he can show
the boys how free coinage can be brought
about in an equitable manner without
the ratio of 16 to l.. 1t wasn't possible in
1885, but it may be in 1900.
Then. again, the Montana boys desire
a little light on the trust ~question-not as
to what the trusts are, but how to recon-
cile the fact that the biggest trust in the
country controls the democratic vote in
Montana with the policy of declaring
against such institutions.
If Mr.. Bryan can fix up these little
things in a political way, and show them
how to Observation-Disclosures, as it
were, he will do his party a great service
here.

DECLARING ron PEACE.

The great peace meeting which yester-
day marked the close of the international
conference of Christian E~ndeavorers at
Detroit was an event of historic import
ance, indicating as it did the irresistible
trend Of public sentiment toward that
happy era in human progress when Ethe
nations shall learn war no more" This
meeting was held by 5000 delegates, rep
resenting half a million people who are
a unit in favor of settling international
disputes through arbitration. 1t is folly
to say that such expressions are without
effect, n that this splendid body of En-
deavorers is without influence in show
ing the sentiment of the church workers
of the world in favor Of peace.
The civilization of the age is being
nodded more and more after the patterns
which Christianity has designed for the
welfare of man. Despite the broadening
of the worlds views IN matters of detail
in belief, and the happy liberalization
from the creedal handouts of conquered
consciences. the fundamental principles
governing human conduct, as laid down
by the precepts Of Christianity, are more
influential than ever before in shaping
the life work of the nations. The Detroit
conference is a religious evidence OF this

~COFFEYVILLE'S HERO,

Emporia Gazette: The people of Cot
feyville will erect a monument to Captain
d. s. Elliott, who was killed in the battle
of Manila. Captain Elliott ran a news
paper in Coffeyville and was a good man
then. as he was the day he died. Yet the
people of the town execrated him, and
whenever a prominent citizen of the town
spoke Of Elliott he shifted, and when Ell
lott asked for support the man who put
a 81 advertisement in his paper wanted to
control the papers policy. Instead of
rallying to Elliott'S support to make a
good paper, the Coffeyville people took
their job work to job offices. and the very
lawyers who jewed Elliott down to so
per cent of legal rates on every little
sheriff sale notice will swell up with
monument. C%offeyville starved Elliott to
death, and the words on his monument

All the rest of the body is like that Of a

pork barrels are not plentiful in the
neighborhood. There was no one in the
neighborhood whom the farmer suspect
ed Of stealing It,, and the disappearance
was a mystery that he tried to solve for
a long time in vain.
The other day the secret came out.
Passing along a scrub-oak ridge near a
brook, he saw his missing barrel in a hOl-
low. He went to the barrel, and as he
laid his hand on it there was a great
rumbling inside. and out popped a bear.
which gave a startled look and shuffled
away rapidly into the BUSH. There was
no explanation of the presence of the bar

the bear had sctolen it in the night and
rolled it all the way to the ridge, for a
snug resting place for himself.

WILL BE WELCOMED o N

When the Inter Mountain suggested
that steps be taken to give the returning
volunteers a royal welcome in Butte. it
was with the knowledge that the loyal.
patriotic citizens Of his city were equal
to any responsibility which a movement
OF that character woul imply. 1t was
evident that the trend of sentiment, not
only among the leaders of thought and
the directors of action in public affairs
IN this city, but throughout the state as
we'll, favored Butte as the place where
Mountainous should congregate to show
the appreciation Of this state for the
brave boys who hav so valiently sus-
tanned the honor of our commonwealth
abroad.
Gradually this sentiment has been crys-
tallizing into definite form until the
movement is fully under Roadway. Com
mittees composed of our most represent
tat.ve citizens are actively at work, and
returning soldiery an event of historical
Importance. Though the volunteers will
be mustered out in San Francisco ar
engagements will be made to have them
visit Butte in a body, and from this point
dispense to their respective homes after
the celebration. With special excursion
rates from all parts of the state to Butte
there will be an %out-pouring of the popu-
lace never before witnessed in the west.
Butte VIII put on its holiday attire. The
city will be embellished as never before.
"A royal entertainment will be provided
for the soldier boys, and every guest of
the city will feel that it is good to be
here. There will be oarades and fire.

battles and all the paraphrenalia of the

never to be forgotten by those who par

live in the history Of the state. Among
the special features of the celebration
will be the awarding of a suitable medal
to each soldier, as a testimonial of Mon
tana's appreciation of their brave and
patriotic work. These medals will be ele-
gantly designed in gold and silver and
copper and will become heirlooms in the
families Of the volunteers, to be COM

While the date of the arrival Of the

MANAGING MILK COWS.
1t Requires the Constant Exercise of
Patience and Quite nn Amount
of Judgment.

| wish to give you few hints on
milking cows. The farm hand who
knows how to milk properly is more
valuable to the careful dairyman than
any other help. To milk COW requires
time and patience. The milk should be
drawn slowly and steadily. Some cows
have very tender teats, and if you want
a good disposed COW, be gentle in your
treatment toward her, a she is natural
ly impatient and does not like rough
handling. With constant irritation she
will fail in quantity of milk. As the I'D
der becomes filled with milk she is
anxious to be relieved OF its contents
and will seldom offer resistance with
ou, a cause. When a patient COW be-
comes fractions we can always trace il
to the mixer. Note this: We should
not allow them to stand a long time
waiting to be milked. When cows give
large quantity of milk it is very pain
full when the udder has filled to the ut
most, therefore causing them to be.
come very nervous and restless. To de
lay milking at the proper time will do
more to cause COW to go dry before her
period than anything else. She should
also be MIXED to the last drop, if posi-
Bile, for the last portion of milk is said TO
be the richest. Still another point:
There are many ways of conducting a
dairy. Among them are: Wholesome
food, such as wheat bran, cotton seed
meal. Always be careful to keep the
cows well salted, protected from bad
weather, giving kind handling, careful
milking, regular feeding, clean stabling,
good veEtilation and plenty of pure wa.
ter. In some sections we have what is
called bitter weed. which cows are fond
of, causing the milk to become SO much
affected that it is hardly fit for use. !
find that by giving the COW about two
tablespoonfuls of sugar at each meal
for two or three days the milk is entire
ly relieved of the bitter taste-G. b.
