DEATH" How forcibly is this say
ing examplified in the death OF
this estimable young lady. Death
Is always sad /; but how profoundly
80 is it. to witness the taking away
of one in the flush of youth, with
the prospects Of bright and noble
future unfolded before her. But
while we weep, and tear-drops
blind the vision, a feeling OF con-
ISOLATION steals over us like CLEAN
of sunshine through the sombre
clouds, and bids US cheer up: "The
Lord hath given and the Lord hath
taken away" He has but called
her to her reward-happiness and
JOY enternal in the Heavens.

EIarmon..H Dim mick.

So quiet was the marriage of ouI
young friend Solomon Harmon and
Miss Myrtle Dimmick, which took
place on New Years Eve, thai
many of his friends did not learn
of the happy occurrence until the
honeymoon was o'er.
Mr.. Harmon is the assistant
electrician of the town plant, and
deserving young man.
Miss Dimmick is a very pretty
and accomplished young lady,
daughter of the late Buster Dim
mick.

How 10 Care Group.

Mr.. r. Gray, who lives near Ame-
MIA, Duchess county, N. Y, says:
aChamberlain's Cough Remedy is
the best medicine have eyer used.
Tt is a fine children's remedy for
Group and never fails to cure.s
When given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has developed, it will
prevent the attack. This should be
borne in mind and a bottle of the
Cough Remedy kept at hand ready
for instant use as soon as these
symptoms appear. For sale at

Continue The sclaool.

The Board of Aldermen, at its
regular meeting Tuesday night,
again gave evidence of it's progress
sive spirit and interest and wake
fulness in the cause. of education
by making two appropriations for
the st. Landry High School, one
to paint and the other to furnish
the annex.
The generosity of the council is
indeed commendable; but we be-
lfeve that had the proper light
been thrown on the needs of the
school, the resolution would have
read "That an appropriation Of
$18O0.00, or as much thereof as
may be necessary, be, and is here
by, made for the maintenance OF
the St. Landry High School" ."
The school needs furniture bad
ly; it may need painting; but it
needs money to run the school
much more. A full eight months
term is necessary to make the
school a success; to maintain its
position as the grandest institution
of it's kind in the State; to main
tain its high standard that induces
people from afar to become citizens
of the town in order that their
children may get an education
and fit themselves for life's battle.
And according to the report of the
COMMITTEES on Apportionment and
Finance, to be made to the School
Board Monday, the school funds
are sufficient to run this school but
five months.
In the face Of existing conditions
the Clarion can see nothing for the
council to do but to rescind its ac-
ton and, II possible, make an ap-
preparation of S1S00O0 for the
maintenance of the High School.
The annex can better afford to
do without paint than our children
without education.

TRiFLE THAT GREATLY AFFECTS
FINAL RESULT.
STILL ANOTHER REPUBLICAN
Bever Elected to Lower House by
Very Narrow Margin of
Four Votes.
STILL ANOTHER REPUBLICAN
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.

| FROM thursdays S DAILY Gazette.
A change of figures was made nee
essary last evening when the returns
from Upper Musselshell and Fairview
precincts were brought in. Al
though slight of itself, the change
was momentous as to results. 1t put
different hue on Yellowstone cour-
tvs legislative representation. In
stead of divided delegation-a re~
publican senator and a democratic
representatives. the first returns
made it appear the county will send
republicans to both houses.
The vote cast in those two pre-
cincts, both of which are usually re-
liably democratic, developed the sur
prime Mr.. Bever's friends had wished,
but scarcely dared hope for. But, it
has come about and the party is now
in mourning for two defeated ones
only, the candidates for sheriff and
treasurer.
1t is clearly apparent that Grading"
was responsible for the change made
in the usual vote of Upper Mussel-
shell. A strong personal feeling
against Mr.. Yegen is known to have
existed there. Those credited with
harboring it are said to be republi-
cans and men of considerable intlu-
ence in the precinct. To defeat
V0OAn fhov OFF -
carry the precinct for Gruwell. In
the same ratio they are said to be
friendly to Hubbard and in working
for the success of their two favorites
they traded every other candidate on
the ticket. Believing Morse to be
safe in the other precincts of the
county, many who were induced to
vote for Gruwell and Hubbard cast
their ballot for Bever, not consider
ing the possibility of so close con-
test between the candidates for rep
resentative as the election developed.
BY reference to the subjoined table
it will be seen that Hubbard received
every one of the 21 votes cast in the
precinct. The disparity between the
registration of the precinct and the
actual number of votes cast is so
great as to show the necessity of a
revision of the list. Although only
21 tickets were voted 81 names are
carried on the registry list of the
precinct,
Great as was the surprise Upper
returned, it was outdone
by Fairview. OF the seven votes poll
ed there, all of which under ordinary
would have been re-
garded- as safe for the democrats, |
Bever received five, allowing only |
two for Morse. AS in the other pre-
cincts the registration list in Fairview
seemingly could also be edited with
proper results. Seven votes and Sc !
names registered show either phe-
apathy or a great change in
the voting strength Of any precinct.
AS received and corrected up to
date the whole vote of the county is
herewith given. It shows the election
If Bever by the exceedingly narrow
margin of four votes.
