the contact left a mark through which
the pink skin could be seen where the
dirt came away.
Almost without exception the men who
noticed the pitiful little figure crying in
the corner smiled in sarcastic manner,
and, thrusting their hands deeper into
has home, at least so think most men
who have never battled with the world
as had the little newsboy. since decid-
ing to leave his whisky-'brutalize
parents and shift for himself.
Scarcely old enough to lisp the names
of the papers he carried. the poor little
chap had made desperate fight against
overwhelming odds. and now he was
cold. hungry and weary. and without
money in his pocket.
He might creep in somewhere and try
to sleep, he knew, but the gnawing at
his little stomach robbed him Of his
baby courage. and his lnfantile sObs
grew more and more penetrating.
AS woman. old in sin and lost to all
sense of shame came walking down the
street, her evil eyes darling penetrating
glances at the men she CHANGED to meet.
an officer on the opposite side Of the
avenue Strengthened himself and began
to saunter slowly along. keeping pace
with the woman. who stopped when she
heard the crying Of the cold-benumbed
child
Perhaps 1t was the memory of a once
happy home. Or perhaps. there was re-
semblance in the features of the boy to
one she had known in earlier years that
appealed to the woman. but whatever it
was she grasped the baby in her arms
and drew him close to her breast.
Instead Of shuddering at the contact
and drawing proudly away. as a self
respecting child-yours, for instance
would have done, the little boy threw his
arms around the neck of the outcast,
who was even then under the eye Of the
police. and cried bitterly.
What passed between the two will
never be known unless, on the last day,
what is written in the great white book
which the angels keep he revealed to all
men, but when the little chap struggled
out of the arms Of the woman his face
was wreathed in smiles and the cold
which had shaken his little frame
seemed to have vanished. In his hand
he held a shining dollar-the last the
woman had. and even that was the price
of her shame.
AS the woman drew her tattered shawl
more closely around her and resumed her
walk down the street accosting half
drunken man at the corner. the officer
slowly shook his head and kept aloof.
well. I'll he if that amt the
queerest move I've ever seen old Liz
make. Giving a dollar to the kid, when
know she's broke: perhaps-oh,
pshaw." and the blue coat blew his
nose with vigor and turned back to pull
in on the regular hour.

aloof from the legal proceedings to which
most republicans resorted and not until
yesterday was his case passed upon by
the states highest court. The complexion
of the court in the meantime had
changed. The democratic majority had
been wiped away and it was decided that
the votes cast for Pratt should be count
ed and the will of the people Of the state
respected. To this decision the three
democratic judges dissented.
Had Attorney General Pratt tried to
secure his rights from the courts at the
time the remainder of the republican
candidates were robbed of their offices
this latest chapter i'll Kentucky's political
history would never have been written.
He wisely decided to wait until the COM
plexion of the court changed ana the
CLIQUE that fastened the Goebel law upon
the state was ousted from power. Ihe
decision rendered yesterday is cheering
indication that the disgrace of Goebelism
is being wiped out at last

TINE MESSAGE.

Anticipa tory interest concerning the
forthcoming message of the president
centers principally around the degree OF
human interest which the document is
expected to contain. 1t Will be prief,
that much is certain. The president Is
the author of a number of books written
in an engaging style. and this experience
will stand him in good stead in the work
upon which he is now enga ged. The
message will be one the people will read
The state papers of other presidents nave
been learned and ponderous. containing
an immense amount of detail and tech-
meal flavor which was not attractive.
Few messages. in fact. have been read
widely outside the small circle Of men
whose duty it is to glance over the doeu>
ments contents 10 gather material for
review. The message of every president
has found partisan defense and criticism
in about equal proportion. Newspapers
holding views similar to those set forth
in the message said. the document is
remarkable for its comprehensive grasp
of national affairs and its profound APP
probation of the questions now upper
most in the public mind Opposing or
gans declared that seldom has a chief
executive failed so lamentably to define
thu duties of his party upon pubic ques-
tons. or to offer suitable solution for
problems which confronted his admins
tration.'
Against the message of President
Roosevelt windy dizziness will not pre-
vail. He will hand out his opinions
straight from the shoulder, and those
who take issue with his conclusions will
find him plain and clear cut on each dis
puted point. The time at which his
message is written opens the way for a
document of the sort expected. The
party to which the president belongs has
been successful in the management of
the nations affairs, triumphant in the
political arena and is strongly entrenchod
in the esteem of the people. What the
president sets down in black and white
for the information and guidance of con-
sress will be no less interesting and
prof able to the whole Deople

A number of Western states have laws
designed to prevent parallel railroad
lines from forming a transportation pool
and preventing competition. Montana
has a law which is considered a safe
guard against traffic arrangements which
may be harmful to the interests of the
people. The combination recently formed
which is supposed to include the COM
peting lines of railroad in Montana is
said to come within the provisions of this
law Several states in the West will
fight the formation of the pool if legal
measures can reach the desired end and
1t is not unlikely that extensive litiga-
ton may result from this latest move in
railway combinations. 1t is the duty of
the governors of each state to have the
legal machinery put in operation,

VIRGINIA CITY IN LINE.
Oregon Short Line May Couple It to
It's system.

1t is rumored in railroad circles that
the Oregon Short Line company intends
to build branch line to Virginia City,
Madison county, and begin the work
next spring. The proposed route is fran
st. Anthony to Ienry's lake thence
down the Madison valley to the Granite
q elk pass, thpncc across the Jefferson
valley to Point of Rocks ana or to Vir-
ginia City.
A branch line extends from Idaho
Falls to st. Anthony, distance of 81
miles. st. Anthony lies west of the
boundaries of tie National park.
There is vast area OF glOd country
along the proposed route, and it is just
possible that the rumor has a good
foundation.
The Henry lake district is we'll set
tied and there are several large cattle
ranches there. among them being one
owned by L. H. Sherman Of this city.

During the past year the railroad acct
dents of the United States claimed vic
ton to this total of fatalities 5000 per-
sons We're injured in wrecks. This is a
greater number of casualties than has
taken place on the worlds battlefields
during the same period. 1t is signifi-
cant fact that only small part of those
killed on railroads We're employees or
passengers. The grade crossing and ac-
cidents to those stealing rides are re-
sponsible for 4S46 Of the total number OF
deaths. When these causes of death by
the cars shall be removed travelling by
rail will be safer than staying at home.
Only one passenger in every 100000 was
injured last year.

The opening up of Oriental markets
has cleared the way for government ir-
rigation of the Vests arid lands. When
the project was first. announced resi-
dents of the Eastern and middle states
were opposed to being taxed for the pur-
pose of increasing the area of agricul-
tural land in the West. When eNpan-
sion opened up markets in the Orient
this objection fell to the ground and the
West is no longer regarded as con-
petitor of the agricultural interests of
other sections The new markets in the
Orient belong to the West and are

PHASES OF IMMIGRATION.

The nations of Europe that during
population to this country seem to have
cut off the supply. Immigrants from
Germany, England and ireland at one
time headed the list: now natives of
Italy. Austria and Russia are more
numerous among the new arrivals on
our shores. Commissioner of Immigra-
ton Powderly remarks this change in
the nationality of immigrants and gives
interesting figures concerning it in his
report. In 1882 Germany sent 27o,S3O i'm
migrants to the United States. During
the same year England added 1884 to
our population and Ireland's contribu-
ton was 1886 Running through long
period of years the immigrants to
America We're principally of the nation
alities last named. The fact that the
proportion has changed and these ma
tons are now falling in the rear will be
news to many.
The immigration statistics of the past
year show that Germany and England
each supplied less than $4,000 immi-
grants. Ireland sent 3O,561, the fewest
in the recent years of her history. Con-
trasted with these totals are the figures
representing the lively pace set by other
nations I'm the list of world powers
Italy's immigrat ton footed up 135,996
Austria's was 1890 and Russia's s., 257.
The change that has taken place in the
relative position of the earths nations
as regards immigration can be easily
traced through the past two decades.
1t is gradual, pronounced and of such a
character AS to leave little room for
doubt that it is permanent. We have
probably seen the last extensive
movements of Germanic and Anglo
Saxon immigrants and must give the
glad hand to the people who have
usurped their place.

The Geary law excluding Chinese from,
the United States was passed in 1882, and
continued in force for ten years. In 1897
it was extended for ten years more. The
law expires by limitation next year. and
the Chinese exclusion act is one Of the
first subjects which will engage the at
tention of the coming congress. Happily
no other question is likely to intrude
upon the deliberations of the nations
lawmakers and prevent prompt consider
alton of this important matter.

Smokeless FLASH Lights.

A French scientific investigator believes
he has discovered a flashlight powder
compound which is practically smoke
less. The principle is to keep the mag
nesia that is formed when magnesium
powder is exploded as much as possible
attached to heavy substance that will
mot easily fly about, and which soon falls
sof it's own weight. A substance suitable
for this purpose is found in the binoxid
of barium. At red heat this substance
gives up half it's oxygen and supplies that
necessary for the rapid combustion of
the magnesium powder. AS the binoxid
must be kept from contact with the air.
the flash powder is made up in collOdion
capsules. This is also consumed, and its
combustion adds to the intensity of the
light developed. The proportion Of smoke
produced by fiashlight powders Of this
description is as small as 10 per cent
compared with ordinary makes.-Detroit

CHANGE OF VENUE.
B. S. Thresher Thought Justice Nelson
Would Not Play Fair With Him.

The case Of the state against Attorney
Thresher, accused of practicing his pro-
fassion without a license, was called for
trial in Justice Nelson's court last even
ing. but it did not go far
Mr.. Thresher represented himself in a
legal capacity and opened the ball by
arguing demurrer to the complaint.
At the conclusion of the presentation
of the matter the justice overruled it,
and Mr.. Thresher then flashed a motion
for change OF venue, the document be-
ing based upon the allegation that the
justice was biased and prejudiced
against him and therefore fair and i'm
partial trial would be out of the ques-
ton.
The justice granted the motion and
sent the case to Justice Olsen at South
Butte.

General Miles has recommended that
the private soldiers uniform be given an
extra touch of sn1artness for the good
OF the service. The fact is the uniform
OF the soldier in the regular army is more
lacking in attractiveness than that of
any fighting man in the world. His uni
form is plain and he is not a figure to
delight the artists eye. General Miles
suggestion that the private be uniformed
in more attractive garments is a sensible
