Going 1t Blind.

To go into wedlock blindly is said to
be a habit common to the state Of
matrimony. In Manchuria, however,
the blindness of brides is intensified
by heavy wells, which hide their entire
faces. The wedding procession, which
begins the .luptial ceremony, proceeds
thru the streets of the village, starting
from. the brides home and thence to
the church. The bride walks. as do all
those in the procession, on stills. Her
veil is so heavy and wrapped SO close
ly about he. head that two supporters
are necessary, one on either side. In
this manner she is conducted to the al
tar, where she meets her husband to be.
The custom is symbolic of the absolute
supremacy Of the Manchurian husband.
The wife n ust follow blindly in what
ever he elects to do. She must trust
herself implicitly to him. 1t is not re-
corded that any American girls have
become Ma achurian brides.

WHERE is THE END2

Utah's legislative committee sent te
Ht. Louis to investigate allegations OF
serious Irregularities or crookedness IN
the accounts of the Utah worlds fair
commission, has reported as the unan-
imous belief of it's members according
to its Investigations and the knowledge
gained thereby that the 1.-The so-called
awards, consisting of medals, ribbons,
ETC., supposedly given as marks OF
merit by the st. Louis official award
ribbon committee by authority of the
Louisiana purchase exposition, also
s the so-called successful exhibitors, are
In our opinion an immense and gigan-
tic fraud"
The committee report charges that
these awards supposed to be won by
superior merit in open competition
have been dealt in as commodity by
a "straw corporation" and sold to the
highest bidder. One manufacturing
company is alleged to have paid $780,
900 for an official award" the value
of which in advertising is probably
worth treble the price paid. Other
specif1c and general charges are made
by the committee.
Whether these charges are or are
not true they have respectable
source and call for complete investi-
CATION. The public is in a frame OF
mind to believe them without much
investigation. 1t fits in with the
charges made by Senator Carter, pres
ident of the National Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Commission, of frauds
and Irregularities by the board OF man
ayers which defrauded the government
and the city of st. Louis out of a million
dollars. With the land frauds, the
postal frauds, the canal. commission
taking fees to which it was not entitled
IN direct opposition to the commands
Of the president, with all the charges
proved and not proven of picking,
stealing, and piracy in official life the
public is ready to believe almost any
thing. The people are not at fault for
this dangerously receptive condition.
1t has been forced upon them. But
corruption is not universal by any
means. The simple fact that frauds are
being exposed is evidence that honest
officials exist and that the mass of
American people is honest and
prophesies better things. If this is not
true. where is 1t all to end?

Sam WaIin. Gambler.

Samuel Wallin, better known thru.
out the mountain country as Swede
Sam, the gambler, dropped In for a
visit to Helena, Mont, the other day
and began by losing money at the rate
Of more than 81 a minute for twelve
consecutive hours at bucking the tig-
er.
wallin arrived from Butte on tho
midnight train, and after doping out
the ponies for the next days races, en-
tered Main street gambling house.
and purchased $1,000 worth Of chips
which gradually but steadily slipped
from his grasp. This operation was
repeated three times until O'clock
the next afternoon he was between ST.
100 and $4,000 loser.
Seeing that luck was against him
and. desiring to play the fifth Los An.
geles race, he retired. Entering the
pool room, he made wager, which he
also lost.
Boarding the train for Butte, Wallin
slept three hours while en- route and
upon arriving in the great mining camp
Immediately took a seat in q poker
game which was then.in progress. Luck
was apparently still against him, az ct
ITSL ne lOSL SGVCIdl IuOuSS1uu SUVIA4IBs
but at last 1t changed, and at the END
of twenty -four hours he was $4,000
winner. Wallin then slept for twenty
four hours and has returned to Helena
where he's says he will win back his
5000.
Wallin is one of the best known:
gamblersin the west. His passion for
play is unparalleled, at least In this
section. Several times he has had
fortunes, only to lose them. SIX years
ago he left Helena, virtually penniless,
but within two years was worth $780,
600. Once while talking with Senator
Clark, Wallin was heard to remark
that he would not give snap OF his
finger for the formers millions un-
less he could gamble with them.
On one occasion he sold MS gam.
bling house and announced his inten-s
ton of returning to Sweden ON q visit,
but he lost the entire proceeds before
reaching the station. Again, while on
a similar mission, he went broke In
New Orleans and had to telegraph for,
return transportation. He has par
ticipated in every game Of note IN the
country and in one week lost $S0.0OO
at Hot Springs playing faro.

A DEPOT INCIDENT.
rrr,ndv Demoarat.1


It is interesting to watch the effect
of ioy or grief on different people. A
few days ago at the depot there were
two men who were waiting for the
return of those whom they were anx-
ious to see. One expected his WIFE,
and the other his wife-to-be. Before
the train had stopped at the water
tank the latter was in the car pouring
out his feelings in a vocabulary rival
ing a star preacher at a revival meet
ing. The husband stood on the plat
form as if his feet had become part
of the pavement. He saw his wife
come out of the train and onto the
platform without shifting his position
or making a sound. His face car
ried the greeting that his tongue and
legs wouldn't The wife saw him
and understood OF the two men
the younger had his cask of senti-
ment tapped at the bottom and it was
pouring out freely; the other had a
cask as large but it wouldn't flow I'M
til his wife pulled the cork.

vast wealth. Tom vows that If any or
the young Fonda boods attempt to
marry the girl while she is under his
care in Fonda, that he will spend the
remaining thre-fourth of the fortune to

whether to go to France after the

have both sent by express. He is all
ready assuming the air of guardian.
The wealth which comes with the girl
is fabulous, and Tom tells US on the
quiet that as soon as the money arrives,
he is going to build II new opera house,
give Fonda five story brick hotel,
and go over and blow up the old Cen
trail depot and give the company
enough money to build new one.

IGrundy Democrat

An old maid is never SO much con-
celned about a wart on the tip OF
her nose as the young man is OF ms
infant mustache. If she were ana
coddlea it as much, the thing would
di,. like an over-fed and an over
fondled baby. The old maid with
wart trouble and the young man
with an ambition for mustache
should learn that nature will not
stand being assisted too much and
then profit from the lesson.
