ONE WEEPING POSTPONED.

y
The worst has happened from poor
street car service. One day last week
a young man and his best girl boarded
a Paramount car at the corner Of Main
and Douglas to get out to the College
district for an afternoon cali ON some Of
the young mans friends
Within four blocks the car spun on fhe
track and sulked. The young man and
his girl talked and apparently enjoyed
the prospects of fifteen minutes delay
while the workmen tugged away in the
hot sun. The delay was longer than ex-
pected and the young man went out to
see II he could help persuade the balky
car to climb back on the rails and go on
Hike nice car should. instead of sticking
them in the street with the probability
Of spelling q call. In few minutes he
came back and found another young
lady whom he knew. and would probably
admire sitting just far enough from the
first young lady to give him room be-
tween them. He bowed politely, sat
down. and began q conversation with
the second girl She encouraged the talk
for the young man was sprightly and
phrases. which he interspersed with
smiles that were absolutely wonderful
considering the tip-toe attitude OF the
Thermometer. The second girl was limo
cent enough, for how was she to know
that the other poor creature was the in
vited guest and best girl of the charm
ing and exuberant fellow with the fresh
puns. The young man kept edsing
around on the seat as the conversation
waxed and grew, until he had his back
turned in forgetfulness upon the girl who
started with him. Young lady number one
was heroic. She looked cut at the work
men for awhile. then at the Dassers by
then at the big Sapolio cards In the upper
deck OF the car, and though she cast
sharp, furtive glances at her escorts back
and the girl In smiles. she pretended not
to care nor notice that she was being
grossly slighted-was completely forgot
ten. One minute went by and still she
was brave. Two, four, ten. The young
mans back was still turned and the sec
ond girl growing deeper in smiles. while
the questions and answers and the two
fresh puns and three new slang phrases
few back and forth.
The first girl couldn't stand this. so she
got up and left the car quietly. The girl
in smiles saw her but she didn't know.
When the car was ready to go the young
man looked around. His girl was not in
the car nor in sight. He didn't inquire.
for that would have been embarrassing,
but ne got up. slipped out Of the car and
went in search Of his girl and everybody
in the car but the young lady he had
been talking to began laughing. Presently
some one remarked that II served him
right" Then the girl. again in smiles.
understood and ventured the simple but
emphatic remark OF the first girl. that
"she needn't got huffy." Then the car
wheels set up rattle. the girl In smiles
looked biushingly victorious as the young
man walked in an uncertain step down
the street and the last remark that strug-
gled to her ears through the noise was
THAT wedding won't come on in septem-
Der now" 1t won't.

QUESTION OF LAW.

A wandering steer which had escaped
from the cattle pens at the stock yards
one day last week was later found dead
by the side of one of the railroad tracks
entering the yards. The question OF the
owner was whether he had been killed
by a switch engine or had broken into
some private pens and eaten all the oats
and shelled corn in sight and foundered.
The question now is who will get dam
ages, the owner Of the animal or the
owners of the provender which the ami

street expounder. and political philoso-
pher, has a new roar coming. He says
he can stand 1t to be laughed at because
of his political views; the fact that he
got worsted once by a parrot: that he
hauled a dead hog to the stock yards TO
sell as fat butcher pork; and many other
troubles, but he lays down completely
when a well known citizen asked him to
haul three sacks OF rain water up to his
residence.

PHILIPPINE DEVELOPMENT,

Extensive enterprises looking toward
the development of the Philippine isl
ands are already being contemplated by
American capitalists, and peace once re-
stored in the archipelago, will cause
American and other capital to seek in-
vestment in our colonies. Gentlemen of
New York and Chicago have in consid-
Grafton the construction of railroad in
the Philippines, and ali effort is to be
made to secure the necessary rights and
franchises during the next session of
congress- The company is to be incor-
porated in the United States and con-
templates, after the railway is con-
structed and transportation facilities are
assured, to invest largely in tobacco,
rice and sugar plant 'ations. The syndi-
cate will probably employ native work
men, chiefly, in building the railroad.
Material for the construction of the road
and the rolling stock and other equip
ments will be supplied from this coun-
try. Several of the large manufacturers
of the east have already been invited to
submit bids for the same

The representatives Of the peoples

association concluded their session at
Kansas City last week. 1t was agreed
that thorough organization of the pop

perfected, and that the next national
campaign shall be entered with the

of-the-road popuists are to bolt and be-
GIN an active campaign to carry out
their principles. An address to the
populists OF the country has been issued
by the national organization of the peo-
pies party, ln which all are urged to
avoid fusion with any other political
party.

BITTEN BY A RATTLESNAKE,
A Former Resident of the Flint Greek
Valley Dies in California.

A letter was received by The Mail the
past week from Oakland, CAL, which
conveys the information of the death at
Havilah, Kern county, CAL, of Mr..
William Homer Wilson, resident of
the Flint Creek valley for many years,
whose life came to an untimely end on
the 21st OF April. The letter says
While returning from his mine at
the noon hour, he accidently stepped on
a rattlesnake and was bitten. After
binding the leg tightly he went to his
cabin, cut the wound and applied bak-
ing soda. Then in haste he walked
three miles to the nearest town-Havi-
lah-where, at the home of friend, he
received treatment and care; but after
hours of suffering he passed away
The burial services were conducted
by clergyman from Kernville. The
body lies at rest in the Odd Fellows
cemetery in Havilah. His widow and
three sons survive him.
The last seven years of his life were
devoted to the cause of the Master
Wherever he was, at home or abroad
in season or out of season, he always
spoke to his fellow man OH the subject
so uppermost in his heart
People in Philipsburg will recall the
family, as Mr.. Bert Wilson, one of the
sons, was employed at the Bimetallic
mill for a long time.

ASSISTING THE TR('STS,

The legislature of Missouri, which has
Just closed its session at Jefferson City
was IN many respects not unlike that
body of law makers which made laws
and transacted other profitable business
at Helena last winter Like in Montana,
the political complexion of the Missouri
legislature was Democratic. In both
states the elective franchise was con-
verted into merchandise; bribery was
charged, and during the last days of the
session laws were enacted in favor of
the trusts The majorities IN favor of
the trust measures were equally large
IN both states-nearly three to one
and in both instances money was used
to make the bills slide along better.
The Montana Democrats passed bill
much appreciated by all large corpora.
tlons, and the Missouri Democrats did
likewise by passing law permitting
street railway companies in large cities
to consolidate and form trusts. or
course, no one would be so mean as to
insinuate that the Democrats favor the
trusts, but it seems that these monop-
olles are continually after the Demo.
cratic lawmakers, wherever assembled,
and tempt them to do wrong. The
trust bill was passed at Jefferson CITY
by vote of 81 to 3S, and it has been
charged that 500 apiece was the pre-
vailing price for votes. The 5000 ex-
pended by the street railway trusts for
the passage OF the measure will be re-
paid by the people a thousand-fold
Conslde rably more was no doubt paid
by the corporations to pass their pet
law IN Montana. Montana Democrats
are not cheap men, and it leaked out
that 100000 were on the ground to
make the bill go through. The Demo-
cratic press would have the pubic be-
lleve that the federal government only
is to blame for the creation of the trusts,
but the fact is never mentioned that
Democratic makers Of various states
are constantly passing measures not
only fayorable to trusts, but also sane
tioning by law the formation of such
monopolies.

COMPLEMENT TO THE WEST.

In an interview in Chicago recently
Editor McKelway, of the Brooklyn
Eagle, paid a splendid compliment to
the great west and the push and energy
OF the western people. "The west" Mr..
kelway says, sis gong to teach the rest
OF the country how to solve the problem
OF squaring political economy with the
rights of humanity. The east sees little
but hard and fast doctrines. The west
mixes sentiment with them The result
is an etfervescence in both parties, but
moneyhood and manhood will soon find
they must agree, and manhood must
come to the top. Eastern precision and
western push will respectively steady
and propel the united nation on the
path OF noble destiny, and the center
OF power will be with the center of pur.
pose--in the west" Though the editor
of one of the leading Democratic jour
nails of the east, Mr.. McKelway is an ar
dent expansionist, and his remarks may

the services OF a Chicago press-clipping
bureau to examine the letters from sol.

the newspapers throughout the country,
for the purpose of ascertainlng what

Out of 1000 letters from volunteers in
the Philippine islands only three we're
found in which the writer expressed any
desire to return home or found any
fault with anybody or anything. The

The passenger department of the
Northern Pacific Railway company has
just issued book, entitled, "Wonder-
land. 49," 1t surpasses any of the pub.
llcations of former years. The scenery
and points of interest along the line
from the lakes and the Pacific ocean is
written up in an admirable manner, and
hundreds of excellent engravings illus
trate the various subjects described. The
part devoted to the National Park is the
leading feature IN the book; the Gala
tin and Bitter Root valleys also come in
for interesting descriptions and up-to-
date illustrations. The book would make
spl endid souvenir for Montanians to
send to their friends in the east and
abroad, as 1t fully describes the beauties
of nature as found in Montana and the
great northwest.

The decision of the Barry Dock and
Hallway company to purchase American
locomotives for their passenger and
freight train services has considerably
disturbed the manufacturers of Great
Britain Each American. built locomo-

WAS AN OLD-TIME RESIDENT,
Thomas Griffith Visits the City After An
Absence of Years,

Thomas Griffith, of Colgrove, Gal.
was visitor in this city last Tuesday.
Mr.. Griffith is an Old-time Montanian,
having resided in the valley east of
D-ummond for many years He first
located on the ranch now owned bv
VIM. Wallace, at the mouth Of Dunkle-
berg creek, in 1864, and later owned the
Hoover ranch on Griff creek. Mr.. Grif-
fifth built the first Touring mill in this
section; it was located at Griff lake,
several miles up the creek from his
ranch, and was operated by water
power. He also owned the valuable
ranch now the property of John Berg
man. near Drumm0nd. Some wears ago
he disposed of his property in Montana
and removed to California, where he is
now comfortably located near Los An
geles. He still retains some mining in
terests in the Flint Creek district, and
it was this that brought him to Philips
burg at this time. Mr. Griffith is one
of the early pioneers Of whom Montana
is justly proud. 1t was the enterprise
ana progressive spirit of the men who
blazed the trails to the Rockies that laid
the foundation ard shaped the destiny
of our state to become the most pros
porous in the union Mr.. Griffith con-
cluded his business in this city and de-
parted for his California home Wednes-
day morning, This was his first visit
to Philipsburg in ten years and he was
very favorably impressed with the
progress our little city had made dur
ing that time.
