New York is city of infinite variety.
There are those who have beds with
out sleep ana those who sleep without
beds. Three thousand of her winter
residents slumbcr in the cradles of the
canal barges that come each year from
the canals of New York state, from
the great lakes and Lake Champlain to
spend the winter months moored in
New York harbor. In the tenement
districts a nan, his wife and his four
or six or eight or more children sleep
IN single room, and one who goes
about the city finds many Il device for
slumber and repose. On Washington
street. on the west side, where the
Turks, the Greeks, the Assyrians and
the Egyptians live near neighbors to a
colony of Irish, is queer little orien-
tai hotel on the top floor of tenement.

could trust Rose to carry out their
schemes, II they could fool enough
republicans by bowling that LaFoll-
cite was trying to defeat Spooner..
Rose was nominated, and Pfister's
paper, the Milwaukee Sentinel, i'm
mediately took him Under its wing
and now he is going over the state
in the interest of the same rich cor
porations he has always served, re-
calling lot of falsehoods about La
Toilette and taxation. Like all dis
honest demagogues, his main hope
is to deceive the people. Behind
him are certain republicans, as dis.
honest as he is, working might and
main to defeat LaFolletto, a man who
has brought upon himself n fear
tried to do his duty by the common
people. These Pfister's conspirators
| against La Toilette make great
howl about Spooner. But they care
nothing about Spooner, except to d.
vide the republican party if they can,
with the hope of defeating La
| Toilette.
The question is,-Will the republic
cans be deceived by this game? Will
they follow the lead Of the Milwau-
| kee Sentinel, no longer "a republican
paper? Will they help Chas. Pfister
and a lot more of rich corporation
leaders to elect their obedient tool,
Rose, governor, and defeat an honest
sincere man who has stood faithful
ly by the interests of the common
people? VIII they lose all sense and
reason aud turn against themselves?
These are questions honest men
must consider If they would use the
bal Hot to defend their rights.

ODD CLASSIFICATION.
The Way n Carload of Trnmps was
Designated In Mexico.


In Mexico the billing of railroad
freight requires a knowledge and pre-
cision which can only be attained by
wears of practice. This Is due to the
peculiar classification of various arti-
cles and the different rates OF customs
duties. 4 case recently occurred which
severely taxed the ingenuity OF the
station agent although he finally sue
ceedcd in meeting all requirements.
The town was overrun with tramps,
and tie council determined that steps
must be taken to rid the city OF them.
1t was finally decided to round them
ND and ship them out of the country.
1t would be too expensive to purchase
tickets. so they concluded to hire stock
cars and ship their tramps as freight.
The cars were procured, and by the
aid of the police the tramps were gath
cred but then the question arose as TO
how the shipment should be designated
on the bill of lading.
The term persons could not be
used. as it would conflict with the state
law relative to proper accommodations
for the travelling public, and it would
also be in violation of the company's
rules governing the rates OF passenger
traffic. Marketable commodities"
would not do, as that would subject
the carload to a heavy duty upon cross
ing the tariff zone. Again they would
have to be classified as perishable' or
the dispatcher might order the car side
tracked along the line.
But fortunately there is a customs
law which exempts certain kinds OF
curiosities from duty, and so, after
much consideration, the tramps were
billed and forwarded as so many hun
dredweight of "perishable curiosities-
unfit to eat"

The Confederate stars and bars were
in 1868 supplemented by the camp flag.
This was in size and shape like the
other, except that it was white, with
no stripes, and the battleflag in the
upper corner next the staff. 1t was
found deficient in actual service in
that, displaying so much white, it was
sometimes apt to be mistaken for
flag of truce, and on Feb. "a, 1865, it
gave place to the last flag of the Con-
federacy. the outer half being a red
vertical bar. Appearing so late in the
war, it was not so familiar as the 9TH
ers.-in fact, it was comparatively little
known.

The MARVELLOUS NORTHWEST.

The annual report of the directors
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & 1t Paul
Railway, submitted to the last meet
ing Of the stock holders, and covering
the operation of the system for the
fiscal year ended June 80, illustrated
among other things how little even
the most intelligent and careful OBJ
servers realize the extent and grand
eur of the resources of the great
Northwest.
The year was one in which the
farmers of the Northwest met with
tremendous losses, rs the result of II
general and disastrous drought. Be
fore the season was far advanced it
was predicted in the money centers
of the country that the railroads pen
etrating the territory would suffer
immensely from the failure of crops
Figures were not wanting TO prove
that the traffic would decline any
where from 80 to 10 pei cent. Yet
the weeks and months passed by and
the railroads entering the corn and
wheat belts seemed 10 require the
service Of all their rolling stock, the
efforts to bear the stock market be-
came weaker and and weaker, until
they were finally abandoned.
The Northwest had reserve that
neither Wall street nor LaSalle had
counted on. If the estimated loss by
drought be compared with the value
of the products hauled by the North
western railroads during and after
the drought season, an idea of this
reserve may be obtained. 1t is re-
vealed, in part at least, by the fact
that the company named was able
to report gross earnings for the year
of S46,6l3,l2i.l9 in excess Of the pre-
vious year,
The tonnage was S7732 tons less
than in the preceding year, and ag-
ricultural products comprised only
- so per cent of the total, as against
27s7 per cent Of the total in the pre-.
vious year, but the number Of tons
Of commodities, other than agricul.
tural products, carried during the
year was l4,954,83l, an increase over
! the previous yeal of l,9b2,622.
The people of the Northwest had
less to otfer in the way of products
than they had the previous year, but
the higher prices for what they had
enabled them to spend more on other
commodities, In other words, the
drought, instead Of injuriug them,
improved their condition to the ex-
tent that it served to increase the
value OF their products aud to enlarge
their purchasing power,
That they We're provided with

MASS or DECEPTION AND FaLsEnooD

EX-Gov. Hoard, in Jefferson Coun-
TO Union: David :. Rose, the dem
ocratic candidate for governor, spoke
in TT. Atkinson Monday afternoon.
His speech, in every particular. was
the same repetition of deception and
falsehood that he has uttered at 9TH
er places since he started out Mr..
Rose, in milwaukee, has the reputa-
tion of being a tricky demagogue,
whose main object is TO deceive the
people.
This is clearly shown in his treat
ment of the tax question, ard in his
abuse OF GOV. LaFollette.
Here lie thinks are two places
where he can deceive the people the
most effectively. He has taken his
cue mostly from the Milwaukee Sem
tinels dishonest attacks on LaFoll-
cite, which was done in the interest
of the Milwaukee Street Railroad
Company, the Wisconsin Telephone
Company, certain railways and 9TH
er corporations, of which Dave Rose
has been the obcdiout tool ever since
he was elected Mayor. For four
years Ptster and other corporation
republicans had defeated republican
candidates for mayor of Milwaukee
and elected Rose, democrat, and
Rose, obedieut to their demands, aid
ed by a corrupt common council
turned the city over bound hand and
foot to the Electric Railway Com
pauy. To a farther assistance in his
attacks on the rights of the people
Mr.. Pfister bought the milwaukee,
Sentinel, paying half a million dol
lars for IL. Then ne organized tn,
conspiracy against LaFollette, aideC
by certain members of the legisla
ture. The Eleventh story leagu,
was organized and carried on al
summer to defeat LaFollette's nomi
nation. Why did they want to de
feat LaFoiiettc?
Because me had stood mp in the in
terest OF the common people, th'
farmers and the small householder
of the state, with the demand tina
the rich corporations should pay
their share OF the state and loca
taxes, ptister and his Milwaukee,
Sentinel and MI his Eleventh story
combined could not defeat LaFoll
cites denomination. The farmers, il
particular, rose up all over the stat,
and renominated him triumphantly.
Then piister set to work with Ger.
tain recreant republicans to gottheil

democratic party. They knew they

EDWARD EccLEsToH AS HISTORIAN.

1t has been laid down as almost an
axiom that only rich man can
write history effectively, because of
the costly research and the slow re-
turns. But DR.. Eggleston, in that
work to which he was most devoted,
showed once more that some things
can be done as well as others. He did
not hesitate to eXpend freely what
ever he had for the necessary re-
search, and when funds were given
out, he laid the history aside and
wrote something that would bring
immediate returns. This was his rea
son, for instance, for writing "The
Faith Doctor"
The doctor had all the qualifica-
tions for an admirable talk er; - gem
eral personality, a pleasant voice, IA
picturesque head and mobile face, II
vast abundance of interesting facts
at command, including a great many
that were new even to the best edu-
Gated Of US, and Il command of lam
guage that gave Rhythmic flow to
his words. While the object of his
search was solid and significant fact,
he had keen sense Of humor and an
eye for the picturesque which caused
him to pick up all the incidental
plans by the way.
OF that which he considered his
browning work, two volumes have
appeared: "rhe Beginners Of Ma
ton and "Tho Transit Of Civiliza-
tion." Something has been done on a
third, but how much | do not know.

James Cation, who was sent to the
insane asylum last January and dis
charged as cured last summer, was
again examined Wednesday and or
dered confine to the asylum. The ex
animation Wednesday was conducted
by Doctors Morrow and Duncan, and
was held before w. H. Griffin, who,
as chairman of the board of county
commissioners had charge of the pro-
ceedings during the absence of Judge
Smith. The evidences of the insan-
ity of Cation were so plain that the
doctors felt no hesitancy in declaring
him insane, and ordered him to be
again confined to the asylum.

James Stevens, living on the Will
Lang ranch, near Montford, was the
victim of one of the boldest holdups
that has ever occurred in Kalispell.
Mr.. Stevens had been in town during
the day, and between and 6 o'clock
in the evening he left the M. M. COM
pany's store, on First avenue east,
and crossed the street to go to his
team, which he had hitched near
SMITHS harness shop. On his way
to that place he noticed four men, but
paid no attention to them, as they
were standing in conversation at one
side of the sidewalk.
Reaching the team, he had his
hands partly raised and was unhitch-
ing them when suddenly a light was
flashed in his face and he saw two
revolvers within few inches of his
head. He was ordered to hold up his
hands and lost no time in obeying
the order, and while he stood with
his hands stretched heavenward one
of the men reached in his watch
pocket and took $40, which he had
placed there a short time before. To
get at this money the thief first had
to extract Mr.. Stevens watch from
his pocket. This he did, and re-
placed it in his trousers pocket, re
marking that THAT was enough for
this man." No attempt was made to
go through his other pockets, al
though purse containing about $25
was in the same pocket that the
watch was placed. After getting his
money the men disappeared in the
darkness.
The money taken had just been
received by Mr.. Stevens in payment
for a county warrant that he had
cashed in the M. M. store, and it is
thought the bandits saw him get it
and had followed him until an oppor-
tunity was presented whereby they
could rob him. Mr. Stevens thought
he recognized one of the men, and
instead of notifying the officers he
tried little detective work on his
own hook, but after searching for
several hours he gave it up. Since
then no clew has been found, and
the holdup men are still at large.

DESTROYED BY FLAMES.
Oscar EneIe Suffers Severe Loss
By Fire.

BY Fire.
The residence of Oscar Engle, in
the lower valley, was totally destroy
ed by fire Wednesday morning. The
fire caught in some manner while the
family were yet in bed and soon the
dwelling house, barns and granaries
were in a mass of flames. The
flames had gained such Roadway that
they could not be checked with the
meager fire fighting apparatus at
hand, and it was only after hard
fight that the stock in the barns and
sheds were saved. The family had a
narrow escape from an awful death
and succeeded in reaching a place of
safety, clad only in their night robes.
There was some insurance on the
grain lost, but aside from that the
loss will foot up close to $4,000, and
there was no insurance carried ex-
cept ON some of the grain in store.

The appointment of F. A. Dunn, as

intendent A. E. Long, and became eff
fective at once. Mr.. Dunn succeeds
A. B. Woodward, who has resigned
and gone to Omaha, to accept po-
sition on the Union Pacific. The new
chief has been handling trains on the
Kalispell division for the past six
years, four years at Havre and for
the last two years holding down a
trick in the Kalispell office. Past eff
ficient service warrants the predic-
ton that the new chief dispatcher
will fill the responsible position.
