Death of a Pioneer.

We are panied to note the death
at Douglas, N. B., of Mr.. David Nc
Gibbon, which occurred Thursday,
Sept. n, 1900, in his 18th year.
Last June, Mrs. Chas. F. McGibbon
of Neihart, daughter of the deceas-
ed, went east, called thither by tele
gram announcing that her father was
very i'll. For short time the old
gentleman seemed to recover, but
soon relapsed, and death came by
heart failure, as above stated.
He was an aged and highly re-
spected resi- lent of his community.
He leaves two sons and two daught-
ers to mourn his loss. They are
William, at home, and Geo. L., of
Great Falls, Mrs. Chas. F. McGib-
bon of Neihart, and Mrs. Henry E.
Parsons of New York. The funeral
took place at 2:30 O'Clock, Saturday

w. A. Clark was one of many
friends of Helena that aided her in
gaming the permanent capital of the
state. The people of Helena have
shown their thanks and gratitude to
Mr.. Clark for his aid on many occa-
sions and have honored him to the
full measure of his deserts SO far as
lay in their power. But when Clark
and his friends demand that the peo-
pie of Helena shall foul themselves
in the sewers of bribery, perjury and
infamy in his behalf then all selfre-
specting, honorable men must refuse

With prominent attorneys of
Montana quibbling over the regis
tration law, some saying you don't
and some that you do, it is much the
safest plan for everybody to register.
Ii there is ambiguity in the law as a
Flathead county official declares, the
citizens ca not afford to take chances
on the law. There is certainly no
hindrance to a qualified voter regis
tering, and if registered, there is
certainly no hindrance to his voting.
1t is better, therefore, to take no
chances, but let everybody register.

1t was great comfort to Mrs.
McGibbon to be with her father in
his last illness. She feels deeply the
sorrow of the occasion, but is COM
forted by the faith which bore her
father through life, that he is now in
a better world. The Neihart friends
join her in the sympathy of the
hour. She expects soon to return to

THEY'LL NEVER DO 1T.

The good independent democrats
of this stare will be able to listen to
good independent doctrine from the
lips of good independent democrats
from now on until the 9th of No
vember next. The issue will be as
to whether w. A. Clark can bribe
and buy his way into the senate or
whether he can not. 1t will be
whether the people will condone a
crime or whether they will condemn
it. A list of democrats who are
democrats will tell the people all a
bout this man Clark and his crime.
1t will rest with the voters then.
THE election will go down in history
as a precedent. If the people of
Montana decide Clark had the right
to buy and bribe the members of the
Legislature into voting for him last
winter, others will do the same here
after with impertinence. 1t will be
a case of where radical wrong will
be made right, but after the un-
defiled democracy will have COM
pleted the campaign of enlighten-
ment in this state against bribery and
corruption, and should the people de-
eide the contest in favor of vice,
bribery and corruption-God help

THE TRUTH IN LIVING FIRE

ished by the courts. Furthermore,
the self-same perjurers, bribe- givers
and bribe takers who figured with
brazen conspicuousness in the recent
investigation are today honored,
decorated, lionized by the Clark de-
mocracy, and our jails and peniten-
tiaries are not large enough to pun
ish the aggregation. Instead of do
ing time in stripes and chains as
they justly deserve, they are abroad
in the land, trying to demoralize the
honest voters, and reaching for the
corruption fund. The man with the
nit out is an every day acquaintance,
and Mr. Clark is responsible for the
intensitication of his avarice. No
picture of word or pen can over
paint the appalling spectacle, and
no rebuke at the polls will be too
severe to fit the extremity of the
hour
He referred most aptly to Joseph
X. Toole's opinion of fusion, uttered
two years ago, before he was in
duced by $4,000 Dave to accept a
nomination at the head of fusion
ticket.
Mr.. Toole said:
"No prudent or loyal democrat,
no populist or silver republican of
intelligent conviction, can expect
this great heroic party (democratic)
to abandon its name, abdicate it's
power and prestige, destroy its or
ganization, and forfeit the we'll
earned confidence of the people by
assuming the name and submitting
to the leadership of that tentative
political fungus called FUSION
which never fails to comprehend in
no small degree among its adherents
an aggregation of malcontents, un-
disciplined and incorrigible, who are
glad enough to conceal their identi-
ty under the guise of most any polit-
ical nondescript that means nothing,
speaks for nobody, and is responsible
to nobody. | believein maintaining
separate and independent political
parties"
And saying he would ne'er con
sent, consented.
A remarkable feature of Mr.. Port
er's address was his failure to allude
in any manner to his own candidacy,
or to that of any other except David
E. Folsom. He made no reference
to the Office which he seeks, nor to
the character of the men who are
running against him. He filled the
time so completely, so entertaining
ly and so masterfully. that everybody
felt that it was good to be there, and
after the close OF the meeting, a
large crowd remained to meet the
able speaker and to form his ac-
quaintance.

In the want columns of the Inde-
pendent, which is reiterating the
statement that white labor is being

vertisement calling for several hun
dred men for all kinds of work

worded address, introduced the speak
or who was enjoying the best mental
and physical condition. Mr.. Porter
stepped forward amid ringing ap-
plause. After telling the circum-
stances of Mr.. Folsom's illness, and
offering excuses for the absence of
both his colaborers, he entered the
subjest of remarkable address.
He told the story of the last le gis-
lature, which, though overwhelm-
ingly democratic, failed utterly to
do one creditable act. On the con-
trary, they wasted the session in use
less palaver, neglecting the things
of vital interest to our citizens. in Or
der to gather harvest of Doodle.
The maladministration of that legis-
lature is directly chargeable to dem
ocrats, for they held both houses by
enormous majorities. They did those
things which they ought not to have
done, Corporation bill, etc. and left
undone those things which they
ought to have done, school law, etc.
and there is no merit or justice in
them. The speaker paid his tribute
of invective to w. A. Clark, the
man or monster who would traffic in
mems honor for the qualification of
personal vanity. The one who
would wreck character and homes,
and bring lasting disgrace upon his
state for the sake of seat in the
United States senate. He described
the various notorious Investigations
and their notorious findings. He re-
hersed the tale of national ignominy
and shame attendant upon the dis
graceful event, and gave flash
light exhibit of the renowned $50, 900
which is today without owner, claim
ant or heir.
This $4,000 now in possession of
the state treasurer, is democratic
Doodle money. Nobody charges
otherwise. 1t is specter in their
feasts, a grewsome nightmare in
their visions, and it lives with the
persistence of Banguo's ghost. Do
the people want repetition of these
culpable enactments? No! emphati-
cally no. and they are not going to
have it. The honest democrat, the
honest populist, the honest citizen of
whatever party will rise to the glori-
GUS emergency, the magnificent OPP
portunity, and redeem the state from
its putrefying reproach, its rotten de-
cline, by electing the Legislature re-
publican.
These remarks were epigramatic,
pointed and at times humorous, and
the speaker was repeatedly inter-
rupted by applause ard laughter.
The picture of the $4,000 made the
democratic party look like 30 cents.
And Mr.. Porter charged that this
same roll of boodle-swag has caused
more perjury than can ever be pun

Most of the circus acrobats and not . few of the rough and tumble come dians of the stage who have graduated from the ring were reared and learned the rudiments of their business in the lumber towns of the northwest. In the business" these are known as saw dust towns" on account of the saw mills, which are their chief industry. There are many of these in Wisconsin and Michigan and several in Iowa that have turned out the bulk of the aero bats and tumblers in the business.
 In the "sawdust towns" the small boys have exceptional facilities for learning to turn somersaults and hand springs in the great beds of sawdust that surround the mills. Soon they be- gin to try the more difficult feats they see done in the shows that visit the towns. After school hours they tum- ble until 1t Is time to go home and do the chores" From out of them all there generally rise two or three boys who get the knack of the acrobatic feats, and these work in constant H. yalry, each trying to excel the other.
 One day along comes a circus, and the best boy tumbler applies for job and shows what he can do. Perhaps be Is given a chance as 'top mount er," or the top man in a pyramid act, because he is light and active. When he gets older, heavier and stronger, he may become an "understander," or the man who holds a mountain of men on his shoulders. And thus he gets to the show business.-Exchange

Wanted to Warn Him.

Sir Algernon West tells this story in his "Recollections:" One day the late Sir George Campbell, who had a very strident, loud, rasping voice, called on Sir Algernon, who was then secretary to MT. Gladstone, to talk over the land question.
 After he had been in conversation about three minutes the office keeper appeared, bearing the card of an NJ. F. who, he said. was very anxious to see Sir Algernon. The latter said he was sorry to be engaged. In another min ute he appeared with the card of a well known peer who was most desirous to have a word with him. Again the lat ter said he was too busy to see him Just then In another minute the man again came in with huge card saying the lord mayor and sheriffs of London wanted to speak to Sir Algernon West very urgently in the next room.
 Sir Algernon apologized to Sir George and went out to such great dignitaries. When he got out of the room. the office keeper startled him by saying. There ain't nobody here, sir, but was afraid a madman had been shown in to you by mistake, and wanted to warn you, sir"

Do You Eat Out or Int

The number and variety of knives and forks that now grace we'll equip ped and formal dinner table may well dismay one unused to such a yariegat- ed display of cutlery and silver. There are forks for the oysters, for the fish and for the roast and forks as well for anything else that may be served. There are also knives to correspond to the forks that may be needed. These implements that social convention de- crees to be necessary to convey food to the mouth are usually laid out in for midable rows on either side of the plate.
 The other evening a simple western maiden at her first eastern dinner sur veyed her supply of knives and forks with growing trepidation. Her com- mon sense told her that they were laid out in the regular order in which 1t was intended that they should be used, but nothing in her experience had taught her which was the right end of the row to start in with. Finally, in despair, she sought help from her next door neighbor, a prominent physician.
 Say, doc" she questioned anxiously as she pointed at the offending objects, do you eat out or in?"-New York Tribune.

Once at the end of the period he gave his wife sixpence less than the full amount. This so distress ed the thrifty woman that she went to consult the meenister on the subject.
