THE ARGUS PROsPERlNG,

~. on0O0
That Lewistown is a progressive
village having prosperous newspapers
may be understood from the nest of
libel suits which the Argus now has
on hand. Explanatory of the case
it should be understood that the Ar
gus now has three libel suits institut-
ed against it in the Fergus county
court, for an aggregate of $4,000.
These suits were brought in consc.
quence of the publication by the Ar.
gus of statement that the home of
John Fisher near Utica, had been
visited by lynching party who desir-
ed to do business with him because
of alleged maltreatment of young
lady who lived near there. The
story did not give the name of the
young lady, but was given general cir
culation throughout the state in con-
sequence of it's publication in the Ar.
gus, and as the whole thing was lie
made out of whole cloth by some one
desiring revenge upon the young lady
or Fisher, they now come forward and
demand damages in the sums named
The plaintiff in one of the actions
is Mr.. Fisher himself. who claims that
his reputation has been damaged by
the publication of the alleged libel
GUS article in the sum of $4,000.
The other action was filed by Mrs.
Catherine Rooney, the mother of the
girl in the case, and she asks for dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 for the in.
jury to her good name and to her feel
ings.
As a corollary to the main action
Miss Ella Rooney brings suit against
Chris SWAMI for $4,000, upon the
ground of defamation of character
the complaint setting out that SWAMI
circulated the report which led up tc
the circulation of the article in the
newspaper.
The Argus published retractior
of the article as soon rs the mistak
was discovered, but the correctio.
was not considered sufficient repara
ton and tho suits were brought as
above.

NEW FUEL PUZZLES FINDER.
Product Recently Discovered Looks
Like wood and Is Found in
Vein Like Coal

Out in Washington they have dis
covered new fuel which is believed
to be commercially valuable and
which cannot as yet be classified by
the scientists. This peculiar deposit
has been discovered near Asotin and
Lewiston. The product has a woody
fiber and burns with bright fame
like dry wood. There is on occasions
a sputtering as if there were oil in
the substance, but there is no book
on bltumens that treats of it in any
manner. Assayer Fassett SAYS that
he has never seen or heard of a SIM
liar substance. He says that it APP
pears to him like dried fungus, but
that II the reports sent him are cor
rect his theory must be wrong. In
a letter sent from Asotin the writer
states that he has a four-foot ledge
uncovered and has sunk on it a dis
lance OF six feet, the ledge lying be-
tween rock walls. There was a de-
,cayed worm found in a piece of the
product sent to the assay office, and
that Is taken to show a vegetable
formation. The samples can be split
INTO sections with knife without en-
countering any grit. If there is

well-defined walls the substance will

TIPS FOR GIRLS.

'Tis better to say stupid thing
that hurts no one than to wax bril-
liant at the expense of a friend.
'Tis better to be a little slow than
a deal too fast, if a girl cares for her
place in social or business circles.
Mannerisms spoil girls--snifling,
-giggling, interrupting and making
eyes render any girl unPrepossess-
ing.
Nothing is more attractive in girl
than devotion to her parents, but 1t is
a quality shown better by action than
by honeyed words.
Girls who consider it too much
trouble to be neat, careful in dress,
in converse and behavior, will never
wear betrothal rings.
Keeping house well will not attract
social idlers, but men of sense hope
to find housewifely talents in girls
whom they would marry.

WELSH TONGUE IN AMERICA.
Expectations Are That liz VIII ""
Down Through Passing Oh olo
Promoters.

As far as this country and the Welsh
are concerned il looks dark and hope
less, From a quarter to hall century
ago there arose large number Oh h1-
erary men and poets in the Onlteu
States who served the Welsh newsPa-
pers and periodicals well and faltn-
fully. Although some of them couiu
speak English, Welsh and Welsh Inter-
ature was their pleasure, which they
sought, night and day, says I Drych'
of Utica.
That class of Welshmen is passing
away, one by one, and none with liter
ary tendencies arises to take thelr
place and continue the progress OF
Welsh literature. We can say without
any doubt that the vast majority OF
the contributors to the Drych to-day
are 40 years of age and upward, ana
many of the best are over so. Ihere
are but a few young who are treadlng
in the footsteps of the fathers. Ihe
vast majority of young Welsh people
stand at the dividing line between
Welsh and English, and are rapidly 60
ing over to the latter, to be separated
completely in language and spirit from
the civilization of the fathers. And
many of the fathers, who are faithful
to the Welsh, and earnest in speech in
its behalf, are bringing up their chill
dren in a manner entirely un-Welsh.
So, the expectations are that Welsh
will go down in the United States when
the fathers and mothers go the way OF
all the earth, for crop of anything
cannot be expected where there has
been no sowing. Many hope and ex-
pect the old language to live by miracle.
as it were, by Divine interference in its
behalf, without realizing the natural
fact that the Wslsh must be planted
and watered before progress may be
expected. The Drych, like Apollos
week after week, continues the water
ing process, but what has not been
planted cannot be watered, for there
is no Paul planting.

TRAVELLERS THERMOMETERS.
A Variety of Them Are Made-Sum-
mer the Time of the Great
est Demand.

There is no end to the variety of
thermometers" said-a dealer in such
things to a New York Sun reporter.
"They include, for instance, thermom-
eters for travellers use. The oldest
style has a nickel-plated metal case
within which the glass mercury tube
is held when not in use. With the
glass inside the metal case and
screwed down it is securely and safe
ly carried. Another sort of travellers
thermometer has the tube upon one
side of the lid of slender little rose
wood box.
"The newest style of travellers
thermometer has the tube secured to
the inner side of two narrow, hand
somely finished pieces of rosewood
that are held together at one end by
hinge. Closed, these two pieces of
rosewood shut up together with the
glass tube between them and are Sc
cured by little clasp like a pocket
book clasp. In use this holder is
opened widely, the hinge being so
made as to permit of moving one part
through three-quarters of a circle.
one part being then placed fat on
the shelf or dressing case, or wher-
ever the thermometer may be put,
the part with the tube attached
standing up, then inclined a little
from the upright back from the
hinge. These two last-named kinds
sell each at two dollars.
"As we sell more outdoor thermom-
eters in winter, so we sell more trav-
elers' thermometers in summer At
this season they are articles of daily
sale''

A VERITABLE WHITE CITY.
ArchangeI, in Western Russia,
Gov red by n Mantle of Snow
Most of the Year.

For three months in the winter Arch
angel, now to become the great west
ern port of Russia, scarcely sees the
sun, and for three months in the sum-
mer seldom loses sight of it. Yet
there is no city in the whole of Europe
which lies for so many months-for
the greater part of the year, in fact
under a mantle of snow; and because
of this, the Russian fondly calls it 'The
White City," says Pearson's Magazine.
White, too, it is in other ways. All
the chief buildings glare with white
paint and blink with white blinds.
The churches-and in IA Russian city
they are not few-are also of pure
white; only the cupolas are green. and
the crosses on their SUBMITS gold. And
white are the private houses of the bet
ter sort-except where Norwegians
ard Germans live, for buff and blue
and red then streak and diaper the pine
walls and edge of the gable ends. But
street posts, gates, pillars, walls,
fences-these are all white. And in the
summer, for every official you see in
blue or a gray tunic, you see ten in
white caps and white uniforms.
Bright color alone is left to the wom-
en- and children; pink blouses, green
skirts, scarlet petticoats, orange
aprons, and blue kerchiefs are com
mon enough; while group of children
will always look like a cluster of old
English flowers. But otherwise, in
summer as in winter this old ci+v of
Archangel, now destined to be the cap.

AN IMPARTIAL WOMAN.
Buried Two Husbands and Would Not
Be Laid Beside Either One
Herself

"This is the grave of the most i'm
partial woman on record" said the
guide in Cave Hill cemetery to party
who visited the beautiful cemetery the
other day, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. away over that second knoll
there is lot containing only two
graves, and the headstone of each is
marked Father
The woman who is buried here was
married twice, and the two graves in
that lot are the graves of her two hus-
bands. She tried her best to treat her
second husband as she did the first,
and even when he died she had no idea
Of showing any preference. But she
was sick when the funeral service of
her second husband was held She di-
Tected that the partner of her second
matrimonial venture be laid by the
side of the first, but that enough space
be left to bury her between the two.
by some hook or crook, a mistake
was made, and when she visited the
cemetery she found that they were
buried side by side, with no space be-
tween.
well, sir, she didn't know what to
do. Argued that if she should be
buried by the side of her first husband
it would not be fair to the memory of
her last spouse, and vice versa. What
did she do? Why when she died she
left a request that she be buried in
another lot, away from both of them.
And it was needed"

HORSE ORIGINATED HERE.
What Scientific Investigation in Bri.-
toll County, Texas, Has
Developed.

The Texas fossil expedition recent
ly sent out by the American Museum
of Natural History has made val
liable and startling find by unearth-
ing the remains of prehistoric horse.
This fossil animal is a remarkable dis
covery, as it proves the origin of the
horse to have been in America, saws
the New York Herald.
1t was generally believed that the
horse originated in Europe, especially
as the aboriginal Indian tribes first en-
countered by the white men on this
continent had no horses.
The fossil horse now discovered has
been mounted and placed on exhibition
in the tertiary mammal hall of the
museum. The skeleton was found by
Mr.. J. w. Gidley in bed of sand, about
100 feet in thickness, in Bristol eoun-
ty, Tex.
1t is an entirely new species of pleis-
tocene horse, and the only one SO far
found. A new name was necessary to
designate it from other types, so the
term Equus Scott was selected, in
honor of Prof. w. D. Scott, of Prince
ton, a well known paleontologist. Sci
ence can hardly calculate the exact
time when this fossil horse roamed the
marshes of primeval earth and was
smothered up and embedded by the
first great dust shower.
Comparing the ske Teton of the fossil
horse with that of an ordinary horse
of the present day, there are some
striking differences. Thus the skel-
eton of the fossil horse represents an
animal with head about the size Of
that of a large draught horse, but with
a height of body and length of limb
of an ordinary western pony, and with
a length of body very similar to that
of the zebra.

and Switzerland.
Eastern European time, or two
hours east Of Greenwich, is adopted
by Bulgaria, Roumania, Natal and Tur-
key in Europe.
Eight hours east Of Greenwich ap-
plies to the Philippines.
Nine hours east of Greenwich Is
adopted by Central Australia and
Japan.
Ten hours east Of Greenwich is of
fetal in Victoria, Queensland and Tas-
mania.
Eleven and a half hours east has
been adopted by New Zealand.
The United States, Canada and Mex
leo have adopted the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth hours west of
Greenwich.
The Hawaiian islands adopt the me-
sidian of 1o1a hours west.
In Spain the meridian of Madrid,
