QUEER PERSONALS.

A Yankee tailor in Buenos Ayres
announced that young woman of
beauty and fortune wished as a hus-
band a man of Pleasing presence and
honorable character. 1t was import

stop to think that beautiful and
wealthy girls do not have to seek
husbands through the personal col

and offered to the tailor fine list

soned that the young men who would
snap at such bait could scarcely
fail to be good customers.

The Kalispell correspondent of the
Libby News finds fault with the Bee
because the local news was not up
the usual standard for few days at
ter the election. The Bee must
cionfess to the accusation and submits
as an excuse that the entire Bee
force felt entitled to just little let
up after the arduous work of the
campaign. However, the Bee has
just about struck it's old gait again
and from this time on we trust that
the esteemed and able Kalispell cor
respondent of the Libby News will
have no reason to complain that the
Bee is not doing it's part toward furn-
ishing kalispell items for our es-
teemed Libby contemporary.

To hear how matters turned;
He had five dollars bet,
And he was much concerned
He mingled with the crowd,
He whooped with all his might
The smashed his new hat in,
And jabbed him left and right
They soiled and tore his clothes
And trod upon his feet;
He missed the latest car,
And had to tramp the street.
Some villain stole his watch,
And as the dawn appeared
He staggered up the steps
And waved his arms and cheered
And to his wife he cried:

REAPlNG THE HARVEST.


The seed. of evil repute for Mon
tana was sown on the sixth of No
vembe-, 1900. 1t was seed of the
quick yielding variety and the re-
turns have already commenced to
come in.
The yield promises to be even
greater than that garnered as re-
suit of the senate investigation. At
ter the disclosures at that time it was
thought that Montana was eagerly
awaiting the opportunity to clear
her good name at the election in No
vember. Judgment, so far as the
people were concerned, was suspend
ed. 1t was understood that the Mon
tana legislators who were bribed to
vote for w. A. Clark for United
States senator had betrayed the con-
fidence and trust OF the people who
elected them. But the election ten
days ago put an entirely diff
ferent face on the matter.
A big majority of the peo-
pie of Montana have "vindicatcd"
w. A. Clark, and the legislators who
voted for him. Such being the case
there cannot be much exception TAX
en- to the following from the New
York Press:
Montana will send Clark back to
the senate; Colorado will not send
WOlcott This grotesque outcome is
the last punishment, we trust, to be
laid on the nation for making states
out of mining camps. Leaving their
financial views entirely out of the
question (as The Press has never
shared those of ether, it may be
said that in the presence of one SEN
ate knew it's highest adornment, and
in the other it's deepest disgrace.
When William A. Clark stood con-
victed by the unanimous vote of that
most lenient of tribunals, a senate in
vestigating committee, of bribins a
legislature and seeking to bride a
supreme court, the state of Montana's
one recourse to save it's own honor
was to send him to Coventry if, ow-
ing to his purchase of the machinery
OF criminal justice, it could not send
him to Jail. Instead it prepares, with
the election of his purchased legisla-
ture, to send him again to the CAPT
toll. In this it brands itself COM
monwealth of criminals, and it will
lind that the brand remains from
generation to generation, as did that
state which earlier in the nations
history branded itself common
wealth of cheats.
"A commonwealth of criminals" It
it hardly likely that the man who
wrote that would have the courage
to say it to the face of the average
citizen OF Montana. But, honor
bright, what else can people outside
OF Montana think of this state? Mon.
tana as state has been dragged
down to the level of he bribers and
corruptlonists. This state had the
chance to redeem itself but it has
not done SO. On the contrary it has
shouldered Clark's infamy as it's own
and has Haunted its disgrace in the
face of the nation

DROVE SHEEP INTO ABYSS.
Feud Between Cattlemen and
Sheepmen Takes a Serious Turn.

Walsenburg. Colo. Sept. G--Reports from
Sharpsdaie. a small town near Mount
Bianco, in Southern Colorado, say that the
feud over the use of the range. which has
long existed between cattle men and sheep
men. reached a climax this week, when
the cattle men drove 500 sheep over
high preciptce.
The trouble has grown out of the scarcity
of water along the water-courses. Where
grass stil. remains the sheep were pastured
and after they had once passed the cattle
refused to eat, and died or became very
poor.
The cattle men rose in revolt, and. taking
horses, corralled about 5000 sheep. The
sheep men protested. but being unarmed
they could do nothing. The sheep were
driven down a narrow guich. at the foot
OF which an ancient waterfall had followed
out a pit over 800 feet deep. Faster and
faster the maddened animals ran, urged on
by the shouts of cowboys, until the leaders
paused at the brink. The press behind
them forced them over. and the others
followed. Some Of the last, who fell on
the bodies of the first. were not killed. but
the majority were killed.
1t is said that the entire county has
taken up arms.
