IueXcuSabIc Care1eSSneSS.

Last Monday, while Mr.. J. S. kcox
was walking along the street in front of
Mr.. Dunbar's house, iii company with
one or two others, lie noticed a negro,
Charley Gillian, coming down the side
walk in front Of him with gun carried
in both hands and pointing in his diIec-
ton, directly after he noticed the negro
and the gun and while some so feet Off,
the gun in the negrc's hand exploded and
two of the shot entered Mr.. Kuox's leg,
one of them in the knee and one below
A little negro boy, Will Hunter, who
was near Mr.. Knox received elk or eight
shot in his leg, most of them below the
knee, while the, main charge OF shot tore
one of the pailings of Mr.. Duubar's fence
to pieces. He claimed it TO be an ac-
cident and that he didn't know it was
loaded. There is no excuse for this kind
of carelessnes5 and the negro should be
apprehendtd d and punished for the offense.
If some one had been killed by the dis
charge, it would have been cold comfort
for him to claim that he dill MT know 1T
was loaded. He must be an idiotic fool
to be walking along the public street
swapping gun whether it was loaded or
empty. An example should certainly
be made OF him. There are too many
children playing on the streets to take the
risk OF allowing such negroes to parade
the streets with loaded guns, who might
at any moment. shoot to death some in.
nocent little child on the street. Better
take the matter in hand. A stitch in
time saves nine.

Death of Mrs. g. W. Going.

1t is with sadness and regret that we
chronicle the death of Mrs. &. w. Going
who died at her home in Union on Fri
lay at IL O'Clock. She Was fond aud
affectionate mother, q loving and dutiful
wife aud a kind Leighbor and friend.
She moved to Union from kelton some
monthsago and althoughshe had not lived
in our m DIST long, she had large circle
of acqlaiutances and friends who knew
her before the family moved to town and
she had added many new friends TO her
list during the short time she was with
us. The bereayed husband has the heart
felt sympathy of this community IN his
sad bereavement. 1t was only a few
weeks after lie laid his little boy TO rest
in the cold arms of mother earth when
he had to give up the companion OF his
bosom, and the mother was consigued
to her long rest beside the new grave of
her dear little boy. There was happy
reunion of these two beyond the skies.
TIE little ore had not long to wait on
the happy shore before he stretched out
his little arms in joyful welcome to the
mother Ire had left behind.
This Goub'e loss is terr ble blow to
Mr. Going, who was jlst completing an
elegant home for his family which Was
nearly ready for oc ,upancy. While our
heart is filed with sorroY for the
husband ard the little ones left behind,
we feel That they have cause to rel pice
and we join them in the b,!ief that their
temporary loss is the eternal gain OF the
loved ones departed, and that they can
live on trusting that they have two rep
resentatives in Heaven who are awaiting
their coming and who are interceeding
with the Father for a ii lal reunion be-
yoad the dark river, in that blissful
re iIm where the wicket cea.e from
troubling and the weary arc at rest for
ever mO,e

PLANTING Wheat.

Mr.. J. w. Gregory, of Santuc,
called in to see us Saturday. He
states that quite lot OF land will be
sown in wheat this year. He is going
to see what he can do on five acre
lot Of land in the wheat raising busi-
ness. He has kindly informed us Of
his method Of planting it, which may
be worth something to our readers
who are contemplating planting
wheat and who wish to compete for
the prize. He broke up the land
with hand plow, smoothed it with
Thomas smoothing harrow, he then
used grain drill with disk harrow
attachment, which opens up the fur
row, distributes the fertilizer, sows
the wheat and covers it in the same
operation. He used 800 lbs fertilizer
to the acre. He says other parties
in the townhip are using more fertil-
.izer, but that he thinks 300 lbs to
the acre is sufficient, We hope to
see fine harvest of wheat next year.
Mr.. Gregory however increased the
fertilizer in portion of the land and
has one acre under which there is 500
lbs. He will see by the results which
Is the, proper amount to use In the
future,

$Ioo for Travelling Expenses.

Assistant Attorney General Guntcr
has rendered an opinion which is Of
much Importance to county superintend-
ents of education. BY al act OF 1893
such officers were allowed 500 for travel
ing expenses. Later acts left this pro-
vision out, bat as the &C. of 1893 has
never been repealed, DIr. Gnnter holds
that it Still is of force AS to some
counties the provision has been specili'
cally repealed, but it applies to all other
counties.

AtkinSOn'S Views.

Boston, Nov. 9.-Edward Atkinson, in
an interview regarding the results of the
recent elections, said:
1t is too early yet to draw any conclu-
sions from the election as affecting the
anti-imperialist cause but there is one
conclusion quite apparent, especially in
Ohio. The administration is in a mi
nority. 1t the efforts to s%ubjugate the
Philippine islands should drag on until
the next election, which l very much
doubt, all members of congress of either
party who support criminal aggression
will be defeated in Ohio and also in other
states. l anticipate a very great
change in the conduct of affairs by the
administration after this election, but,
lest it should not come, the dominant
minority now opposing the policy of the
administration under the name of the
anti-imperialists, will control the next
house of representatives. About Mas
sachusetts there is not much to say. The
character n we'll known opinions Of
Governor Crane are all IN his avor. His
cordial support of senator Hoar is we'll
assured and there has been no special
opposition on the part Of the anti-imper-
ialists to his election"
Mr.. Atkinson said that he would cease
the publication of the Anti-Imperialist
after the national accounts are render
ed on Jan. /, on the cost of criminal
aggression"
He added: 'The violation Of the mail
will be investigated in the senate. The
necessity for further individual action
has ceased. The anti-imDerialists are
now organized on a national scale n it
would be neither expedient nor suitable
for me-, as ar individual to divert funds
or to continue a personal contest under
existing conditions. / hav made a inal
statement. which is at your service, hav-
ing put into circulation over loo, 600 docu-
ments. where I expected to circulate
1000. So much / owe to the members Of
the cabinet who slandered me and vio-
lated the mail"

FIRE DEPARTMENT SEARCHLlGHI

The New York fire department is soon
to have a novel addition to it's apparatus
in the form of a complete electric search
light on wheels. which will go to fires
with the engines, hook and ladder trucks,
and fire towers, and, 1t is expected, Will DO
a share Of work in saving life and prop
erty as important as that of any Of the
other machines, says the New York cor
respondent Of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Its purpose will be to light up dark parts
Of the street and aid firemen IN laying
hose. setting ladders or other engine
work, and also to light up the faces OF
buildings where people may be in danger,
and to throw light into the buildings
themselves to aid the tiremen in search
for missing persons or other work.
The machine will resemble a fire engine
in general appearance, and will use a SIM
liar boiler. but, in place of the pumping
%achin the engine will drive a dyna-
mo which will supply the lighting cur
rents for the searchlights. There Will
be two searchlights. each with an ls-lnch
projecting lens. and these will be carried
on a platform behind the drivers seat.
They can be used either from the plat
form or removed and carried to any con-
yenient place near by, their connection
with the dynamo being kept up by means
of nexible cables. The lights will be pro-
vided with lenses which will admit of
quick regulation SO that their light may
be spread out over a wide area or con-
fined and directed to any particular
point,

disease. the Silver Bow Medical %associa-
ton offers the following immediate sug-
sestions for the purpos of restricting it.
and humanely caring for those who are,
and may become, afflicted:
First. A rigid inspection of the city,
especially the lodging houses thereof.
Second. The maintenance of a rigid
and effective quarantine of infected
places by competent guards, and pro-
vision made for penalties for unfaithful-
ness of such guards.
Third. We heartily indorse the i'm
mediate vaccination of the general pub
lie as the best means of restricting the
disease, which, if done, is the only abso-
lutte preventive.
Fourth. The appointment Of a suffi-
cient number of competent physicians
for the care of the existing and suspect
ed cases. said physicians to be restricted
from intermingling with the general
public.
Fifth. At present we don't consider
the disease has assumed sufficient pro-
portions to necessitate the closing of the
schools of Butte, but we would suggest
the close observance of all pupils in at
tendance, and should any pupil become
suspiciously i~ndisposed the case or cases
should be Immediately reported to the
health officers.
sixth. We do not consider the pres
ent hospital provisions adequate or hui
mane, and we would recommend the i'm
mediate establishment and equipment of
a smallpox hospital commensurate with
the necessities of a city of SO, 1000 inhabl-
tants. We would also suggest the estab-
lishment of a detention hospital. where
suspicious cases may be held awaiting
development before removing to absolute
contagion.

DR.. TALKS.

DR.. Alexander, president of the city
board Of health, is inclined to resent
what he calls the interference of un-
authorized persons in matters which
come within the jurisdiction of the city
board of health.
You can say for me-" said he to an
Inter Mountain reporter this morning,
that when the proper time comes and
not before, the board of health in the
city will take the proper steps in regard
to protecting the pupils of the public
schools from the disease, in addition to
what is now being done, and if the proper
step is the closing of the schools the
board of health will do il. If there was
less agitation in regard to school closing
and more looking to the erection of suit
able pest houses and hospitals for the
detention of smallpox suspects, some
thing. might be cuOmpIlShed."
