Cause for Thanksgiving.

The safe arrival of the Montana vol
unteers at San Francisco brings pleas
ure to the heart of every man. woman
and child in the Treasure state, Gays
the Butte Inter Mountain. 1t is graft
flying to know that there are but few
on the sick list, and that the rigors of
war have been undergone with forth
tude by all. To men accustomed to the
health giving ozone Of the Rockies and
the charms of our unequaled climate,
the hardships of field work under a
tropical sun came with unusual force.
That the privations of army life, and
fatigues of camp and contest, did not
prove far more disastrous to our volun-
teers must be attributabl in no small
degree. to the natural hea1thfulness of
the climate in the Philippines. Under
the most favorable circumstances an
extreme of climate to which one Is UNI
accustomed is a severe strain on the
human system, but when the burdens
of military life are added 1t becomes
most heavy tax on the physical
strength of a man. 1t is therefore a
matter of congratulation that so few
Montanans succumbed to climatic In
huences in the Philippines.

A - cndid Record.

Every state in the union has taken
great pride and pleasure in giving their
volunteers a magnificent reception on
their return from the Philippines, says
the Big Timber Pioneer. No state has
better reason to be proud Of their SOL
diers than has the state of Montana.
Their record is splendid one and the
story of their deeds of courage and
daring will live long after them.

the live stock industry Of Eastern Mon
atna or he is liable to make himself APP
pear ridiculous in the minds of those
possessed of more knowledge of the
subject than he, says the Yellowstone

much as $50 carloads of cattle would
be shipped from Eastern Montana

Der of cars shipped will be great

shipped 120 cars from this city and is
not through yet, but will forward many
more before the season closes. Then
there is Wibaux, which also is in East

whom the town is named has already
shipped several hundred cars and IS
billed to ship a great many more. Be

of the brave. Did these church bells
ever ring in such accord before? They
all proclaimed the same truth, the
happy news, the safe conclusion of a
long voyage. On Sunday morning these
church bells suggests a little discordant
competition, a little too much sectar-
ianism, not quite enough universal
Christianity. There is something inhar-
monious about the UNCONVENTIONAL rings
that peal forth to call people in oppo-
site directions for the purpose of wor-
shipping the same God. 1t seems al
ways as though the little inharmonious
bells ought to be melted up and made
into one big bell that had the same
message for every human heart. With
every peal of such bell there would
be no doubts as to which way to go. 1T
would be a non competitive invitation
to go to places of worship, where moth
ing is said or thought about denomina-
tional doctrines 1t was with that uni
versal harmony that is supposed to
characterize the millennium that the
bells rang out yesterday afternoon. Tn
sighting of the good ship off the coast
of California was indeed an occasion
for much happiness throughout the
state. We now realize what it has
meant to other states to have thei.
boys home again. Great Falls Is pre-
pairing to receive the boys from NORTH

return of the country's defenders

No sooner do the days begin to short
en- and the evenings become longer
than the discussion of politics, issues
and men increase, no matter whether
IT is an "off" or campaign year, says
the Whitehall Zephyr. Already Mon
tana men and measures are being men
toned and it is interesting to listen to
the drift of the talk, even if one dis
agrees with the talker. Since what one
might call the union of the silver re-
publicans with the gold men in this
state Colonel Sanders is mentioned as
the probable republican candidate for
governor. Mr.. Mantle has been doomed
for some time, but the fact that Colonel
Sanders was among the first, il not the
very first, to espouse the cause of gold
in this silver state he Is counted upon
as having several lengths the best of
the race with Mantle. The recent speech
of the colonel at the newspaper mems
banquet in Anaconda Is counted by
many who heard it as very unique and
as rich as any effort in the colonel's
sarcastic career. The exact words of
the toast to which he responded Is not
recalled, but the sense of it was: IF

a few remarks worth hearing. Sanders
has been defeated enough so that he
can take political grief with a grim
smile. but when "riled" he has a heap
of fun. So far as the discussion has
gone these two are the only ones now

Find Jobs for the BOYS.

The time is fast approaching when
the Montana soldiers will again be
among their friends and people, says
the Madisonian. All cities of the state
are making elaborate preparations to
give them a grand welcome. Virginia
the social city, cannot afford to be in
the rear 1t has been suggested that
the event be celebrated by a grand
ball and banquet. This seems to be
the most popular, and undoubtedly
steps will be taken at an early date
to perfect arrangements. We will not
exert all our energies in getting up a
grand celebration, as in a great many
instances they have only been a brill
liant society event whose grandeur
overshadowed the glory and valor of
the boys who have been on the firing
line. The citizens of Virginia City will
not do honor to the company from this
city, but will follow the suggestion of
the Madisonian of June 8 and try to
see that the heroes of Manila and Cal
ocean take up the work of men, and
will be assisted in this matter by all
who are in a position to so do. While
the soldier boys have won renown for
themselves. they must be encouraged
to take up the work of ordinary men.

LESSON IN BEHAvIO R.
DR.. Stoddard Says People
Should Keep Still In Church
or Leave.

The Rev E. L. Stoddard never minces
matters. When he has anything disagree
able to say to his parishioners he says 1t
in as terse a manner as possible. YeSter-
day he gave certain of those persons VINO
attend st. Johns Episcopal Church les
son in manners through the columns Of
the "Bulletin.' He wrote:-
Last Sunday night young man sat in
the rear Of the Church with three young
women. They talked so constantly and
so loud that the neighboring worshippers
were disturbed and complained of their
behavior after service. Some months ago,
when two young men forgot themselves
and their manners in similar way, one
of the ushers stepped up, offered them his
arm and politely escorted them to a place
where they would neither insult God nor
offend their fellow men. Since that epi-
sode there had been no further trouble
till last Sunday. 1t is enough to say that
the same usher had his arm ready to Of
fer to any one who forgets his. behavior
in church as those young men and the
three young women did last Sunday night.
But why wait for an usher. Why should
not any disturbed gentleman or lady rise
and with gentle dignity say, Young men,
young women, will you kindly stop or go
away?'' That is the way to do, and We
think it would be quite effectual in pro-
d1lcirlg sOiemnity."

SEVENTH WARD IN GOOD SHAPE.
Democratic Majority Certain-
Committees Are Active.

The committees of the United Demo-
cratic Club of the Seventh ward, appoint-
ed at the meeting last Monday night, will
meet in a few days to organize and pre-
pare for the spring campaign, which prom
ises to be decidedly interesting. One COM
mittee was appointed to confer with the
other Democratic clubs of the ward, with
a view to consideration This move if
consummated will undoubtedly strengthen
the party, and prevent any dissension
which may arise. The consolidation will
probably be accomplished without a hitch.
The other committee was appointed to
sound several prominent Democrats in re-
gard to the Aldermanic nomination. As
yet, no names have been mentioned ser
fously but it is thought that a candidate
will be selected very shortly. The chances
of the Democratic party in that ward
were never better. A large majority is ex-
pected.
The Republicans, since Alderman Fry
declined to accept denomination, have
been at sea, and it is not known who the
aspirant for Aldermanic honors will be.

CAR HIT WAeAH AND INJURED MAN
Driver Has Concussion of the Brain
as Effect of Fall.

Trolley car No. "a of the Grove street line
smashed into wagon at the corner Of
Newark and Garden streets. Hoboken, at
eight o'clock yesterday. The wagon was
completely wrecked and the driver, Hen
ry Bauer, of No. 500 East Seventy-fourth
street, New York, was thrown to the
ground.
When picked up the man was found TO
be badly cut about the head and other
wise bruised. He was taken to Police
Headquarters, where DIR. Arlitz pro-
nounced him to be suffering from concus-
Sion of the brain. and ordered his removal
to st. Mary's Hospital.
Bauer refused to go to the hospital, and
his employer, A. Finch, of No. 43S East
Seventy-second street, New York, was
notified, and had the injured man taken
home in cab.
Car No. "a is in charge of Conductor
John Talbot, and the motorman is
Henry Nolington. 1t seems to be unfor-
tunate in the way of collisions, having
run into a wagon owned by Ogden's ex-
press Co., at Adam and Newark streets,
on Saturday night. That wagon was
wrecked, too, but no one was injured.

Water Contraot Humbug.

CONGRESSMAN McEwan has written an
other letter to Mayor Hoos, attacking the
Flynn contract. Just what he is getting
at does not appear on the surface of the
words he uses. There may be meaning
concealed among them, but, If there is,
it is cryptogrammatically expressed and
a key should be furnished for the use Of
the general public.
If the Congressman thinks there is any,
thing the matter with the contract, he had
better carry out his threats and take it
into court. He may not win many people
over to his way of thinking, but at least
be will show his good faith. So long as
he confines himself to writing enigmatic
letters. he cannot complain if people
bigeon-hoIe him under the heading of
political buffers.
I The contract, as signed, does not neces-
tariIy involve the purchase of the plant
by the city. All we contract for at pres
knt, to all intents and purposes, is de-
fiyered water. If at any time the danger
bf pollution seems serious, the contract
will be subjected to practical test. and
The contractor, in order to sell, will have
to live up to the most favorable con-
struction, for the city, that can be placed
upon it.
All the agitation about the terms of the
final agreement are nonsensical. The
specifications, which are made a part of
the contract, demand pure water now and
in the future, with absolute safeguards
protecting the city's interests. These pro-
visions are and will be just as binding as
any clauses in the instrument which
merely ratifies the bargain.
Mr.. Allan L. McDermott is at least as
good lawyer and business man as Mr..
McEwan. Mr.. McDermott has a future,
as well as Mr.. McEwan, and he is shrewd
enough to know that this future is de-
pendent upon the honor and fidelity which
-s-ss.uas saa4rlays in dealing with the public.
prodrrtainly has not committed himself
-,,,~is important subject without being
keepof his ground. From self-interest, If
des8o other reason, he is sure to see that
the city is fully protected in the con-
tract. The people can place on his word
at least as much reliance as upon that of
Mr.. MeEwan, who, both out of prejudice
and politics. is bound to be in opposition.

TURN vEREln's COMING BALL

Greenville will be the scence of one of
the largest balls of the season, when the
annual event of the Greenville Turn
vrein is held in Columbia Hall, Ocean
and Gator avenues. This masquerade ball
promises to be the most elaborate Of it's
kind held by the society and no time or
expense has been spared to make it a
success. Last year the hall was packed
to the doors, dancing being almost out of
the question.
Mayor Hoos has been invited, and he
will probably open the event with short
address. A. feature, will be the drills
prepared by Turnmaster George Walter,
which will be given by ten couples. While
the drill is progressing, colored lights will
be thrown on the marchers.
