The Girls Men Admire.

They admire the girl who is he. mo-
theirs right hand 10 household matters,
and who is not above taking an interest
in the most trivial things in connection
with home duties. They admire the
girl who is bright, entertaining COM
panion, and who has ever kird word
aud pleasant smile for those around.
They admire the girl who is always
neatly gowned, no matter it in mex
pensive materials, and who never dress
g, loudly or in questionable taste.
They admire the girl who can adapt
hersel; to any society, who never puts
on affected airs. and who would scorn
t. do an action of which all the world
might not know. They admire the girl
who, in an emergency, can turn her
hand to anything. from cooking the
family dinner to retrimming an old hat.
They admire the girl who is unselfish
enough to give up some pleasure of her
own to benefit another. and does not
consider herself aggrieved at having to
do SO. They admire the girl who can
talk of more important things than
dress or the last new play. and who can
listen intellIgently when deeper subjects
are introduced.

II Harry Ringwalt Of Great Falls
tells the truth, Fred Whiteside, who
has been posing for the past year as the
chief purifier Of Montana pulitics, is
just what The Gazette has said it be-.
lieved him to be-a common boodler
aud fully az corrupt as the other rascals
who are mixed up in the democratic
senatorial mess. Ringwalt, who was
deputy treasurer OF Cascade county, and
presumably u man Of some standing,
testified at Washington Tuesday that
Whiteside approached him before the
meeting Of the Legislature aud asked
him to go TO Helena to work against
CLARK with "us," meaning DAILY and
his friends; that Ringwalt could make
more money in this way in two months
than he could as deputy treasurer in as
many years; that he (Whiteside) was 60

Whiteside turned over to the legislature

not pretend to say. But wherever it

Some time ago, when Speaker Stiff
of the Montana legislature testified
in the CLARK case that he was willing
to accept $50, 900 as a bride to ''expose
corruption" but spurned an offer Of
$40, 900. this newspaper remarked that
$4,000 was probably Stif's price.
Last Monday, A. B. Cook, ex.state
auditor, testified that III a conversation
with him, Stiff offered to vote for CLARK
for $50, OOO. II this ia true, Stiff is
just as deep in the mire as Smith,
Campbell, Nolan and other democratic
state officials are il the mud-the only
difference ia that he was not a cheap

STRUCK A sNAa.
Big Pooling Deal of Western Roads
Much of a Question.

Chicago, Jan. 23-Ata mass meeting of
general passenger agents of western
and transcontinentaI roads in the west
ern passenger association rooms here,
it is said a snag was struck that threat
ems to delay abolishing commission
payments and restoring all passenger
rates to normal tariff. President J. J.
Hill, of the first Northern and the man
ayers of the Canadian Pacific are said
to stand in the way of the consumma-
ton of the big pooling plan Of the east
ern road magnates.
General Passenger Agent Whitney OF
the Great Northern reported that his
road was not prepared to withdraw the
$25 tourist rate from St Paul to Seattle
but would consent in the interest of
harmony to make the minimum rate to
all points iE the northwest SIS. The
reason assigned was that the Great
Northern can not afford to abandon TIE
field to the Canadian Pacific which con-
tinues to make the low rates. This was
not satisfactory to the Union Pacific
and Oregon Railway and Navigation
company which refused to honor rebate
tickets as long as tickets at fat rates
are sold from st. Paul. Efforts are now
being made to harmonic the conflicting
interests of the Canadian Pacific and
Northern Pacific.

CENTRAL BRANCH ORANGE
Debernardi Is Made Superln
tendent at Concord:a.

Atchison, Jan. 29.-Albert Debernardi
has been appointed division superinten-
dent of the Central Branch, with head
quarters at Concordia. succeeding 1. H.
Luke. Mr.. Debernardi was promoted
from the Lexington & Southern branch
of the Missouri Pacific where he was
train inspector Prior to holding that
position, he was with the Missouri Pa
cif1c as an expert track man, and is
known by all the section foremen in
this locality. His going to the Central
Branch undoubtedly means that a great
deal of work is to be done on the road
in the immediate future.
Mr.. Debernardi was in Atchison last
night and went west on the pay car
this morning. His appointment was a
surprise in Missouri Pacific circles in
Atchison. 1t is generally believed that
Mr.. Luke, who has a very high standing
as a railroad man, will remain with the
company in some other capacity.

Galveston, Tex, Jan. 23.-The state
ment was given out at the headquarters
of the Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe rail-
way this evening that reports received
from all stations on that line showed
the following:
The Santa Fe originated in the season
of 1888 SO in Texas and the Indian Ter
ritory 1922 bales of cotton, which was
about one-seventh of the total crop of
Texas and the Territory. In the season
Of 1S99-900, from Sept up to and in
eluding Jan. u, the Santa Fe originated
1883 bales of cotton. 1t is estimated
that there is still to be shipped 60, 265
bales, indicating that the Santa FEES
total movement for the season of 1892
1900 will be 1903, S33 bales, which is 1855
per cent less than the movement last
season.
Estimating that the Santa Fe will
handle one-seventh of the total crop,
these figures would indicate that the
total crop of Texas and the Indian Ter
ritory for the season of 1899-190O is g.
I26 S31 bales
