THE FALL OF FERGUSON.

The downfall of Ferguson is complete.
labor movement in this state this trusted
man deserted his followers and urged
them to support for the governorship
Joseph X. Toole, ex-Northern Pacific
railroad attorney, and the legal repre-
sentative of the only trust doing BUSH
ness in the state of Montana-the Lead
trust, whose smelter is at Helena.
In Missoula last night Mr.. Ferguson
resigned as vice president. of the local
labor union. and his resignation was ac-
cepted by a vote of 200 to 8.
That vote is eloquent and damning
Missoula as to the, reasons which
actuated Ferguson in trying to deliver
the labor vote of Montana to the demo-
cratic Candidate, who is going about the
state seeking to arouse the passions OF
the people against a great Industrial en-
terprise which does no man a wrong and
which gives 10000 men steady employ
ment at good wages and contemplates
lone other.
Yet it is said Joe Toole is a friend OF
labor, though he never displayed II a
friendship except by vetoing a bill de-
signed to extend the lives of corporations
to the limit of fifty years for the en-
enlargement of capital in the develop
ment of the state. He is also said to.
have kept some federal troops out of the
state On one occasion. as though labor
ing men were all lawbreakers to be
afraid of federal troops or any other
of the peace. The idea is an Insult to
labor, and yet Joe Toole is held up as
labor's great friend. The labor party
did not think so three weeks ago at
Helena when it nominated Judson A..
Ferguson against him. Judson A. Fer
guson himself did not think SO when he
accepted the nomination and declared
that a man who would betray such a
trust deserved an inglorious ending at
the hands of his friends.
But Ferguson resigned from the ticket,
and now he has resigned from the vice
presidency of the Missoula labor union,
while laboring men all over the state
are regulating him and asserting that
he cannot deliver their votes under on
tract. AS a result they will support
either Folsom or Hogan, and the fusion
ticket will lose instead of gain by the
shameful barter.

this was a political move.

marke the republican ticket.
Another is, hat sample ballots are
being distributed underground with GER

to be voted for.

Settled the nneI

Lord March (afterward the Marquis
of Queensberry) was not accustomed
to view duel with unbecoming ap-
prehension, and usually attended an
affair with an air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
embarrassing to his adversary. But he
was served at last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as well as for the goose 1t
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman.
Lord March appeared on the ground
accompanied by second, surgeon and
other witnesses. His opponent arrived
soon afterward with similar retinue,
but added to by person who stagger-
ed under the weight of polished oak
coffin, which he deposited ON the
ground, end up, with its lid facing
Lord March and his party.
Lord March became decidedly un-
comfortable when he read the inscrip-
tion plate, engraved with his own
name and title and the date and year
Of death, and peace was patched up.

Spider Cares.

In China spiders are highly esteemed
in the treatment of Group. You get
from an old wall the webs of seven
black spiders-two Of which must have
the owners sitting in the middle-and
pound them up in IA mortar with lit
tie powdered alum. The resulting
mixture must then be set on fire, and
the ashes, when squirted into the
throat of the patient, by means of a
bamboo tube are said to effect a GER
tain ana immediate cure.
Black spiders are evidently full of
medicinal virtue, for they are largely
employed in the treatment of ague as
well. In Somersetshre, if one is af-
fiicted with the unpleasant ailment,
the way to get well is to shut up Il
large black spider in a box and leave
it there till it dies. At the moment
of its decease the ague should disap-
pear. In Sussex the treatment is more
heroic; the patient must swallow the
spider.
Perhaps, after all, this remedy may
not be so disagreeable as it appears,
for a German lady who was in the
habit of picking out spiders from their
webs as she walked through the woods
and eating them after first depriving
them of their legs declared that they
were very nice indeed and tasted like
nuts

THE STORM.

Cold blows the gale from out the north,
Wild moan the forest, vale and moor. "a
Fierce spirits wander boldly forth,
Grim monsters scream at every door.
Against the tempest's hurling might
God keep the helpless poor tonight.
Cold creep the waves along the shore;
Wild-shout the breakers in their glee.
Fierce swells the voice Of ocean roar,
Grim stalk the shades along the lea.
Against the storms tempestuous might
God guard the sea tossed ships tonight.
Cold mists are turned to rafting hail;
Wild voices call in every gust
Fierce forms resist the shouting gale;
Grim faces toward the sea are thrust.
Oh, God, against the oceans might
Protect the staggering ships tonight
All, cold the seas embrace and chill
The winds that wildly howl and fling,
As wrecks are tossed and forms now still
To spar and mainstay sadly cling.
All, yes. for aye, from tempest might
Thine own are safely housed tonight.
