presented by Mr.. Maybee. he
clearly showed the need and benefit
Of apparatus for teaching. In his

The cooperation should be strongly
in the development OF character and
OF ciiiz enship, prohibiting petty law

cussion by saying that one of the
essentials was for the paren, to CON-
prehend the matter taught in the
public school. School Discipline
was ably discussed by B. L. Fike,
Of Nezpcrce Grammar Grade, in
which be advanced the idea of
keeping the pupil busy. A paper

This paper was discussed by Prof.
Crawford and Miss Henry as to
how a class may be trained to

County Chairman Erb, of the
democratic central committee, is out
with circular letter charging the
last republican Legislature with
squandering some s275. 900 of the
peoples money in a sugar bounty
law for the benefit OF the Mormon
church. Nj. Erb in making this
assertion distorts the facts. as the
law passed only appropriates $780,
900 for the payment of the sugar
bounty Mr.. Borah in his speech
here last week denied the statement
made here by Senator Dubois that
the state Of Idaho owed the Mormon
church $500, 900 and said that not
one claim for sugar bounty had ever
been presented by any corporation
to the Idaho officials for payment.
Such are the facts in this celebrated
controversy. The state of Idaho
only owes the different sugar fac
tories $50. 900 and this will soon be
returned by taxes alone, and a
giant industry built up in the state.

Cleveland Leader, It may as we'll
be confessed that the present cam
paign offers less inspiration to the
editorial writer than any other since
the civil war. 1t is exceedingly diff.
cult to force enthusiasm over an
event that is practically discounted.
When anyone tells you that Parker
has a chance, and a good chance, for
election, ask him to point out to your
notice any republicans who have an
nounced their intention of voting for
him. Ask him further in what states
there are the faintest evidences of the
landslide that every democratic news.
paper of any note confessed at the
outset would be absolutely necessary
to insure democratic success. Ask
him what reason he has for belief
that New York will give it's electoral
vote to Parker, in view of the fact
that the Vermont farmers, who have
always been an index for the action
Of their New York cousins, we're apa-
thetic as to political meetings., bu:
the very reverse when it came to the
last analysis of the ballot.
II the general campaign were OF
normal or absorbing interest, why
should we pay so much attention to-
New York and Wisconsin, neither nor
both of which by detection could de-
feat Roosevelt? Is it not because
we seize upon anything that is at all
above the level of the commonplace
in our efforts to excite and foster
an interest commensurate with presi-
Dental campaign enthusiasm?
1t is not to be doubted that of abid-
ing interest in the result there is
abundance. Convince the people that
there was danger of democratic sue
cess and you would see a marvellous
change before the ides of November.
Does not this self-contained gertrude

that when an administration has done

at the hands of the majority? Is it
not true that wild enthusiasm gener-
ally means lavish expenditure or de-

the republic? Who, even of mature
years, a remember a campaign just
like this of 1904? Unless you are
registered you cannot vote.

lie places generally, can be heard ex.
pressions Of admiration and respect
for his well known courage and indie
pendence. The demagogic attempt to
weaken his popularity by endeavoring
to connect him with the Colorado
troubles has already lost its force,
and a reaction has set in, now that
the real facts of the case have be-
come known.
"The strength and popularity of
President Roosevelt in Montana are
only equalled by the apathy shown
towards Judge Parker. There is abb
solutely nothing in the latter's candi-
dacy which appeals to the average
Montana democrat. William J.. Bryan
is by odds the most popular living
democrat, and Judge Parker is the
antithesis of Mr.. Bryan. There is
scarcely a public issue or policy of
consequence upon which they agree,

undo the disastrous effect of
those singing words of condemnation
he uttered against him, when he said:
Judge Parker is not a fit man to be
nominated by the democratic party
or any other party
president Roosevelt will sweep
this state. OF that there need be not
the slightest doubt.
"All that is necessary now is for
republicans to keep up the splendid
work they have done and are now
doing. Their organization is strong
and perfect. They are filled with
energy and hope and enthusiasm, and
a few days more of the same united
and determined effort now being put
forth will produce results which will
bring rejoicing to the heart of every i
loyal republican and credit and honor
to our young commonwealth.

Well Known Billings Man Dies unex

From Tuesdays Daily.
A dispatch from Butte received late
last evening brought the unexpected
news of the death of l.. Il. Reynolds
which occurred there shortly before,
caused by pneumonia 1t was not
even known that Mr.. Reynolds was
sick and the information OF his de,
mise proved a shock to all that knew
him.
The deceased was a brother of Ma.
jor s.. G. Reynolds, agent OF the Grow
Indians, and arrived in Billings about
two years ago. FOR a time he was
employed by Holmes & Rixon, but be.
cause of the confining nature of his
employment he sought other occupa-
ton, having retired from the drug
business in his former home for the
same reason. subsequently he enter

travelling representative in Montana,
making his headquarters in this city.
1t was in the interest of that firm
that he was at Butte when sickness
overlook him.
Mr.. Reynolds was a single man and
his only relatives in these parts were
his brother and that gentleman's fam
lily. Although of a retiring DISPOSE
ton, he had made many friends here
whose confidence and esteem he had
won. The body has been embalmed
and will arrive here this evening. Al
though not known for a certainty. it
is supposed that it will be taken cas-:
for burial in his old home in Michigan.

A Good Stock Show and a Large

favorable Weather IA Balloon
Ascension and Several Accidents.

1t was unfortunate for the success
of the 5oth annual exhibition OF the
Windsor County Agricultural soclet,
that it struck the hardest September
freeze that has happened along to'
years. The first day was fairly
warm, so that the routine work pro-
crossed in anticipation of more good
weather, but it was a false alarm and
there was hardly a moments COM
fort for the visitors, fur-coated as
some were, for the next two days.
However, the people turned out
Wednesday in about the usual num-
bers and there was good attend
ance Thursday.
Everybody looked Tor the balloon
Thursday, but high wind cut out
this part of the program.
The stock eXhibits-cattle, sheep
and all the rest-were good through
out. 1t was great agricultural
show, as it always is, but the
weather put everybody into bad
humor with everything.
The Bridgewater band played for
the people, and gave excellent mu-
sic for three days.

Successful Parachute Drop

Wednesdays fair-goers were dis
appointed in not seeing the torpedo
parachute act. Unsuccessful at
tempts were made to initiate the bal
loon, which was in charge of Aero
naut R. G. Fritcher, both morning
and afternoon, but a high wind
spoiled the stunt, the bag bursting
at the top at the second trial.
"I'll give 'em an ascension tomor-
row if | have to do it wild kite,
remarked the professor, who had
worked hard all day Wednesday to
carry out his part of the program,
and he kept his word, but the bal
loon, not a kite, carried him up to
the dropping off place.
The ascension followed the races
late in the afternoon, the balloon
soaring the feathers off half the
chickens as it rose over the Billings
farm poultry yards, and at height
of about 5000 feet the young PRO
lessor" cut loose with a loud report
from the torpedo above him. Hi
