BILL. WILL BE RECOMMENDED FOR
PASSAGE AS DRAWN.
RICHARDSON GIVEN WELLMAN'S SEAT
UeaGher Statue Must Be MOved-BilI
Reducing Sheriffs' Miseage
Passed the House.

Helena, Jan. 24.-Three features de-
weloped as the result of today's sess-
ion of the Legislature. One is to the
effect that the committee ON townships
and counties has decided to recon-
mend the passage of a bill creating
Paradise county. 1t is stated, how
ever, that the bill will have a hard
fight before its final passage. as three
members of Missonla county are said
to be opposed to it. Another feature
was the unseating of M. A Wellman,
democrat, from Lewis and Clark couu-
ty and seating Il. Wesley Richardson,
republican. The third feature occur
ed in the senate when that body prac-
tlcally ordered the removal of the ped
estal of the proposed Meagher monu-
1nent which has been constructed in
the center of the sidewalk in front of
the building, to another portion of the
grounds.
The committee on privileges and
elections of the house which canvass
ed the vote in this county, reported
that it had found that Richardson had
1874 votes and Wellman 1864. The
official returns had shown Wellman
elected by one vote. There was no
minority report and this is taken as
an indication that there was no ques-
ton about Richardson being entitled
to his seat.
The change gives the republicans a
m ajority of four in the house instead
Of two. The house discharged two
pages, who were under school age and
the vacancies will not be filled.
The bill reducing the sheriffs' mile
age from 10 to cents passed the house
by a vote of 81 to IS. Ross of Miss
oula was ore of the three republicans
voting against the bill. Dempster's
bill providing for vestibules on street
cars for the protection of employees
also passed.

Inc human eye in perfect condition
Is abr to see objects separately that
are only one minute Of arc apart. Put
two objects--as, for instance, two black
circles on a white ground-just one
inch apart and then place them at a
distance of about 2SGl. feet. AS seen
with the naked eye the apparent space
between the circles will be minute Of
are This space is plainly the limit of
detail visible to the unassisted human
eye. Now, 1t might be supposed that an
insect having Il compound eye, would
be able to see more detail than we can
do-in other words, could separate
small objects closer together. AS a
matter of fact. owing to the small
aperture of the lenses composing the
Facets OF the eye and the spacing be-
tween the facets. insects see less detail
than we do. DR.. q. JohnStone Stoney
calculated that dragon fly cannot see
separately two objects which are plac-
ed less than one degree apart. In 9TH
er words, to such an insect two silver
coins lying on Il table three inches
apart and viewed from IA distance ex-
ceeding fourteen ana one-third feet
would appear AS Il single object. Bees
and flies, according to the same au-
thority, are still more limited in their
ability to see the details of objects pre-
sented to their eyes. \ fly could only
see the two silver coins above describ-
ed separately at Il distance not exceed
ing about seven feet

The Singing Tree.

The stinging tree of faraway Queens
land is a luxurious shrub, pleasing to
the eye, but dangerous to the touch.
1t grows from two or three inches to
ten or fifteen feet in height and emits
n disagreeable odor. a traveller says:
Sometimes while shooting turkeys in
the shrubs l entirely forgot the sting
ing tree till | was warned Of its close
proximity by Its smell and have often
found myself in little forest of them.
I was only once stung, and that very
lightly Its effects are curious. 1t
leaves no marks, but the pain is mad
denng, and for months afterward the
part when touched is tender in rainy
weather or when 1t gets wet in wash
ing, etc. ! have seen a man who treats
ordinary pain lightly roll on the
ground in agony after being stung,
and | have known horse so complete
ly mad after getting into a grove Of
the trees that he rushed open mouthed
at every one who approached him and
had to be shot. Dogs when stung will
rush about, whining piteously, biting
pieces from the affected part"

Chamberlain Cough Remedy the Best Made.

"ln my opinion Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the best made for
colds" says Mrs. Cora Walker of
Porterville, California. There is no
doubt about its being the best. No
other will cure a cold so quickly. No
other is SO sure preventive of pneu-
MONA. No other is SO pleasant and
safe to take. These are good reasons
why it should be preferred to any
other. The fact is that few people
are satisfied with any other after hav-
ing once used this remedy. For sale

''Woe to the Conquered.

The indemnity or expenses would amount
to about billion dollars. Sakhalin Island, which
Japan demands is off the coast of Siberia, north
of the Japanese Islands, and is about the size OF
the State of South Carolina, but with popula-
ton smaller than that of Charleston. Getting
this island, however, one the north, Port Arthur
and the Lao Tung Peninsula the south, and
with Russia forced out of Manchuria in between,
the rest of Russia's strip of territory adjoining
Manchuria would be perpetually menaced by
Japan.
If Russia does not accept Japan's peace terms,
the little brown fighters will return to war with
redoubled fury, they now have the Russian army

"He That Hasteth to Be Rich"

Every age has it's peculiar evil, and the beset-
ting sin of our generation seems to be desire to
get rich quick Sooner or later, however, in spite
of all devices and short cuts, find that none
to-day are wiser than Solomon who declared
some centuries ago: "He that hasteth to be rich
hath an evil eye, and consdereth not that poverty
shall come upon him"
In North Carolina about the most conspicuous
recent example of the get-rich-quick spirit was
the scramble to buy Great Western Gold Mn
ing Company stock from Evangelist Fife year
or two ago. Fife advertised the stock at ten cents
on the dollar of face value, and it Is now seen
that he could do this very readily for it develops
