summer when they rel in the mar

CURED indemnifying bonds and their
wool was released. They claimed that
their wool had been consigned to
plaintiffs under special agreement en-
tered into with W. w. Beasley, who
was plaintiffs agent.
Now come the plaintiffs and deny
every assertion made in the answers
of the defendants. They w that no

on account of wool consignments.
Advances in considerable sums
were made on the consignments at

the brokers rendered their final state

pear as indebted to them, alleging
that the wool had not sold for enough
to pay the usual commissions and to
cover the amount of money advanced.

residents of Montana who knows all

Burton. Mr.. Stearns was among the
first white men to settle in this part
of the state, having in the early
seventies located a ranch on the north
side of the Yellowstone, between Bill

Stearns found it somewhat difficult at
times to hold his possessions from
warlike bands of Indians and he
bears the marks of some pretty hard
fighting received during one OF the
frequent skirmishes of that time. Mr.
Stearns is spending the evening of his
life on a we'll improved ranch in the
Clarks Fork valley near Rockville.

UNIVERSITY ON NEW LINES.

Much more than usual interest is
manifested in educational circles in
the establishment of national memo
rial university by the Sons of Vet
Grams and other patriotic societies, the
first building of which was opened the
past week at Mason City, Iowa. Twelve
other buildings are to be erected as
soon as the money needed for their
construction is secured.
The work Of the institution will to
some extent be conducted along new
lines. For instance, at the suggestion
of the National Educational associa-
ton, a chair of Bible study has been
provided. The chief aim Of the uni
versity will be to teach American his
tory under the supervision of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and a
the dean of this branch of the work.
Other branches which will be given
special attention are liberal arts, dent
istry, medicine, music, elocution and
der will be gone into exhaustively.
There will be military department at
which men will be prepared for both
land and sea duty. Besides there will
be woman's college, which will be
known as Barton hall, after Clara Bar
ton, of the Red Cross organization.
Added to all these will be a fully equip
ped school to prepare students for uni
versity work. The general courses will
consist of languages, literature, sci
ence, civics, history, mathematics and
a wide course Of reading of best au-
thors.
Indications point to a successful ca
reer for the institution, to which it is
expected the sons of the Sons Of Vet
Grams and of the soldiers in the Span
ish-American war will flock in large
numbers. 1t is gratifying to note that
there is the promise of one of the best
corps of instructors in the country.

UNPRINcIPLED AND FOOLISH.

While the movement to prevent the
tender years in the factories of the
South has resulted thus far in the crea-
ton of a decisive public sentiment, the
position of those pecuniarily interested
in the management of Southern cotton
factories still continues to prevent the
movement being effective; and it is
distinctly to the discredit Of Southern
socity that the basis on which the OPP
posing movement is being conducted is
one of silly opposition to what is call
ed outside and Yankee interference. A
recent authoritative argument on be-
half of the factory owners was in effect
that 1t was a piece of sectional impu-
dence for those who favor intermar-
riage Of the negres and the whites to
oppose on sentimental grounds the con-
tinued employment Of children in
Southern factories.
While this line of argument is being
pursued cable dispatches relate that
at the last meeting Of the representa-
tives of the trades unions of Great Bri-
tain a resolution was adopted, urging,
on humanitarian and economic grounds
alike, that the laws should be changed
so as to prevent the engagement of
persons of either sex in textile callings
under sixteen years of age. Children
of half this age, and even less, are
now employed every day in the cotton
factories Of the South. The circun-
stance, contrasted with the demand of
the British trades unionists, involves
serious reflection upon American So
ciety.
There can be nothing but considera-
tons of unconscionable greed underly-
ing the effort to maintain young chill
dren in such employments. The world
has advanced too far to tolerate such
a violation of the laws of nature in
such a country as this. Southern cot
ton SpinnerS are no more likely to be
able to sustain themselves in the exer-
else of such form of control over the
lives Of their fellow creatures than
were the Southern cotton growers Of
fifty years ago to continue indefinitely
a corresponding domination over the
lives and freedom of their negro slaves
