PRESIDENT WILL COME WEST.

President Mckinley has decided that
he will take a trip to the Yellowstone
National park, leaving Washington
about the middle Of July. He will 60
through the northern states ell route to
the park, and south on his return home.
For the past two years the president
has been im%portuned to make this trip
and it is only now at the earnest solicit
tation of Senator Thos. H. Carter of
Montana that he consents to do so.
The president needs just such a re-
creation as a visit to the park will
afford him. The anxiety and strain Of
MUD and body hat he has undergone
during the past year would have made
any other man a complete physical
wreck. The cares Of his position have
been arduous, but President Mckinley
has the satisfaction of knowing that his
administration is receiving the approval
of the masses in having performed his
work faithfully. When he starts west
ward he will find one continual ovation
awaiting him at every point and es-
pecially will this be true in Montana.
The people will be glad to greet this
man, who, at the head of the grand ad-
ministration has been instrumental in
restoring prosperity and peace to our
land once more.

DIVORCES MADE DIFFICULT.

The divorce industry of North Da.
kota is to end Oh July /, since after
that date one years residence will be
required to secure a domicile. The
dispatches tell US that just now there
is a big rush for divorces caused by the
new law. This law will be conducive
to mutual tolerance and self-restraint
on the part of married people in other
states, but it will not affect the even
tenor of North Dakotan ways. Such
residents as the state has acquired
under the tb1ee-months law have not
been permanent acquisitions, but uni
formly have left the state upon secur-
ing what they1came to get. North Da-
kota gains in reputation and loses the
board of certain transients as we'll as Il

EDITOR MEDILL'S PROPHECY.

Shortly before his death in Texas a
few weeks since, Mr.. Medill, the
veteran editor of the Chicago Tribune,
uttered a prophecy which will be read
with interest. Few men have been
keener observers of the trend of events
than Mr.. Medill, and his powers of
prophecy, if such they be termed, are
merely an intelligent analysis of the
effects of known causes. But this is
what the aged journalist said to a
friend:
"Do you know that the actual power
of prophecy is very great with an obser-
want person. Not a superhuman power,
as it is generally understood to be, but
a real power to tell what will likely
happen in the future. I have become
very strongly impressed of this of late
years. and I am confident that it is
something possible with every obseryant
man, and much more 80 than is ordi-
narily believed. l will not live to
know if what l am going to tell you
will come true; but if l knew I would
live I would make the same prophecy
just as confidently. Now listen.

it is with the government of Great

ing to Colorado in 1861, and engaging
in placer mining, he soon became a
rich nan. He acquired a part interest
in the famous Little Pittsburg mine,
but sold out for $1,000, 900. He then
bought other mines, which yielded
enormous profits, and quickly made
him the richest man in Colorado. He
was the first owner of the Tabor block

critics in the west. MI. Tabor, al
though having once been the richest
man in Colorado, died a pauper, CON-
paratively speaking, having lost his
wealth through unfortunate invest
ments.
During the time that Tabor was
struggling to strike it rich in Colorado,
he was assisted by one Of the nobIest
specimens of womanhood-his wife
who drudged to make an existence.
Just as soon as he became a rich man
he deserted her, thinking she could not
shine in society as the wife of a mil.
lionaire should, and he soon after mar
ried another. From that time on mis-
fortune overlook him as a r%etribution.
His life was not one to be envied.

is a natural sequence imported laborers
cause trouble. The miners at Pana

be a breaking out of the same difficulty.
