While the Wesleyan is q religious
school it is in no sense sectariau. its
spirit and atmosphere is simply Chris
tisu. No attempt is made to force re.
liRion upon pupils. Every effort is
made to surround the school with
such Influences as will make it easy
for the student to choose the Christian
life. Students Of all denominations
and OF no UNCONVENTIONAL connection
are invited and cordially received.
Members Of different denominations
are regularly retained on the faculty,
and the board of trustees is composed
of men from different churches and
distinguished men of no church
The school simply stands
for the principle that true manhood
and Christian manhood are one and
the same thing.

Convicts May Tnn skins.

When the legislature meets next
year there will undoubtedly be a bill
introduced looking to give the inmates
Of the penitentiary ut Deer Lodge
something to do. says the Helena In
dependent. Unless there is building
going on at the pen, there is lutte for
even the most trustworthy of the pris-
oners to do, and the result in a prison
as we'll as out of it, according to
those who are acquainted with condi.
tons, is that "Satau finds something
for idle hands to do"
For a number of years those who
have an idea the prisoners at Deer
Lodge should have something to do
have been figuring on a plan that will
give them employment and at the same
time not interfere with free labor. No
plan has so far met with such favor
as would result in u bill to that effect
being introduced in the legislature.
But there is now a prospect of a plan
being agreed upon that will not inter.
fere with free labor, aud will save
money for the state and at the same
time give employment to the inmates.
The plan contemplates the establish
ment at the penitentiary Of a tannery
for wolf and coyote hides. There is
no tannery in Montana, and the work
would not interfere with any one now
engaged in business in the state.
Montana now pays out for bount;es
on wolves and coyotes annually about
SlOO, 600. This money is raised by a
tax on livestock. To secure the boun.
ty, the claimant is only required to
produce the scalp Of the animal. The
hides the claimant keeps and disposes
Of as best he may.
The plan for getting something for
the %penitentiary tannery to work on Is
to require the bounty claimant to sur.
render the whole hide when he iles his
claim, and the hides are to be sent to
the penitentiary and there tanned.

SIX MILLIONS IN TAXES.
State Examiners Report Gives Informs-
ton That Will Interest MOntanaus.

HELENA. Feb. 4.-State Examiner
Timothy E. Collins has received com.
plete reports from all county clerks
and recorders throughout the state
with the exception Of Granite, and
from these the force in his Office has
prepared perhaps the most complete
set OF tables ever emanating from
Montana's capitol, giving in detail
the receipts and expenditures of each
county for every purpose during the
fiscal year just closed.
From these tables, which are given
out by MIR. Collins for publication,
some startling conditions are shown.
For instance, it Is TO be CLEANED that
certain sheriffs receive greater re.
enumeration than does Gov. Toole.
From another table it is learned that
the total receipts of the counties
during the year aggregated more tn an
S6. 600 900, or an average collection
for the support of state and county
governments from each resident of the
state, whether man, woman or child
Of $21. So.
In an accompanying letter. Mr..
Collins makes not Il few important re-
commend atoms. Among these may
be mentioned one that county COM
missloners be made salaried officers,
according to the grade Of the county
another that private banks be sub.
jected to the same supervision as state
banks; another that public officials
should be bonded by surety COM
panies, the premiums to be paid from
the public treasures.
Mr.. Collins further recommends thai
his department should be given acces:
to the books Of mining, transportation
and express companies, thus making
it certain that the state will receive it,
proper taAes.
Mr.. Collins points, with no littl'
pride, to the growth of state banks
which he regards as one of the YER,
best elements in the development O
the Of u community.
