TOWNS AFTER RAILROADS.


AS an indication of how the progress
sive spirit is making itself felt in Mon
tana, the actions of Lewistown and
Virginia City is a good Illustration.
couple of years ago the county
seat of Fergus county thought it was
doing pretty well when it got the Mon
tana Midland railway to make it the
northeastern terminus of the road, but
according to a dispatch published in
the Miner yesterday, it seems that the
Great Northern railroad contemplates
building a branch into Fergus county
within twenty miles of Lewistown.
and the people of that city have made
UP their minds that they want that
additional railroad, and they have
started out to get it.
This would give them an outlet both
to the south and to the north, and
would place them in a better position
than almost any other town in east
ern Montana, with the exception of
Helena and Billings.
Virginia City which has no railroad
nearer than twelve miles, has made up
its mind that the Milwaukee should
come it's way, and it has delegated one
of it's prominent citizens to go to Chi
cago and present the advantages the
road would derive from passing
through the old capital of Montana.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
Madison county people may have their
wishes gratified in this particular and
they announce that they have discov-
cred very good route for the railroad
and the company that strikes that
town will certainly get a large amount
Of freight, and would tap a compare
lively new agricultural company in
reaching it and building from there on
to Butte.
If Virginia City succeeds in getting
the Milwaukee, White Sulphur Springs
will have to hustle, unless it desires
to retain the distinction of being the
only county seat in the state that has
not direct railway communication
with the outside world.
The indications on every side point
to the present year as being the most
progressive one that the state has ey-
er seen.
The construction of one trunk line
through Montana and the building of
branch roads will give the industrial
life of the commonwealth a stimulus
that it has not known before, unless
all signs fail.-Butte Miner.

Miles City, Jan. 10.-C. w. Tatro of
Minneapolis is in the city. Mr.. Tatro
is connected with the commissary de-
partment of the Milwaukee road, and
is here purchasing supplies for the
survey parties, for which Miles City
will be the base. There will be four
outfits at first, which may, and prob
adly will be, increased to eight later.
Concerning the possibility of the road
coming to Miles City, Mr.. Tatros re-
ply was only what could naturally be
expected, that his business was with
the commissary department, and that
the matter of route lay altogether
with the engineering department, and
of their intention he was as much in
the dark as anyone,

of each. w. c. Smith, who has been
engineers in charge of the surveys on
the entire line between this city and
Billings, viii continue in general
charge, but will be relieved of the
greater part of the responsibility for
the work on the southern half Of the

appointed engineer in charge Of the
work for distance of about IA miles
out of Billings, and is now organizing
another party of surveyors, to go into
the field on the northern portion Of his
section of the line.
Mr.. Smith, who maintains official
headquarters in this city, has rented
the Gray cottage at Arlington for
field headquarters and will spend the
greater portion of the time there or
between that place and the end of his
division. The parties under him are
working rapidly and have covered the
ground in the vicinity of Spionkop, on
Nenl creek, in the country between
Belt and Sand Coule and down Willow
creek.
One of the parties to be sent out
from Billings is to work on the pro-
posed lines to Lewistown and Kendall
and another is to work along the Mus

Practically all the work for a dist
ance of about so miles out of Billings
has been done in the past, and it is
the purpose to have Mr.. Ffoliott be-

AN UNGRAcloUs SPEECH.

Governor Deneen, of illinois,
achieves the low eminence of being
the only, man who has made a
speech at any dedication in the
Vicksburg National Park, laudatory
of the virtue and valor of the
northern soldier, without any
reference whatever to like qualities
on the part of their foes. He COM
pletely ignored the confederate
soldier, living or dead, in his speech
at vicksburg yesterday, after
accepting the unbounded hospitality
of their descendants. His speech
was, to say the least of it, un-
gracious and uugenerous in the
things left unsaid, and which the
occasion and precedent demanded
should be said.
The confederate soldier does not
need any chaplet that unwilling
hands may bring; he does not need
any perfunctory tribute to his
virtues; his fame does not need the
establishment that extorted and in
sincere eulogy can impart. But it
has been customary during recent
years on these occasions, to say
that the brave men thus honored
met foemen' worthy of their steel,
and Governor Deneen is the first
speaker on such occasions, who has
carefully avoided making that con-
ceSsion.
But Mississippi will not resent
this deliberate discourtesy. She
will charge it against the indivi-
dual, and not against his section,
and will continue to extend to
northern governors who come to
Vicksburg on such honorable
errands the most gracious welcome
and hospitality of which she is
capable, because these things be-
come her dignity and reflect the
better sentiment of her people,

GOOD AMENDMENT.

At the coming election an amend
ment to the constitution will be
voted on, making clear section Sc.
AS it now reads, two-thirds of the
members present can pass a bill
granting donation or gratuity for
any other than sectarian purpose.
At every session of the legislature
money is given away, some of it
for purposes altogether improper.
This is sometimes done when there
are but few members of the legisla-
ture present and vote. It could be
rarely done if thirds of those
elected to each branch of the
legislature were required to vote
for a donation. before it would be
legal. With this safeguard, money
of the people would not be given
for undeserving objects. When
you 60 out to vote for congressman,
be sure to vote for constitutional
amendment. There are many
reasons why you should vote for
it, and none why you should not.

There are a few editors in the

this editor knows that one paper at

lieves that the many editors, some

DON'T CROSS YOURIEGs.

1.-THE prevalence of appendicitis
is an admitted fact" said a sur.
geon. 81 have myself operated on
7Io persons for the disease. Cross.
ing the legs is responsible for a good
deal of this trouble.
"That sounds strange, doesn't
it? Nevertheless, it is a theory
advocated by more than one great
surgeon. Indeed, know some
men who say that if people never
crossed their legs appendicitis
would quite disappear.
''You see, crossing the leg
squeezes and cramps the delicate
vermiform appendix. Squeezed
and eramped, the appendix becomes
irritated. inflammation sets in. In
tense pain comes. Then-presto-
you are on your back, the sweet
and heavy fumes of chloroform are
choking you, and the appendicitis
specialist bends over you with a
sharp knife"

A MATTER lOF COURSE.

The Vicksburg Herald is greatly
exercised because Judge Jeff Truly
candidate for Governor of Mississip-
pi, expresses in plain English, with
vigorous voice, his emphatic dis
approval of the officious intermend-
ding of the Illinois Central Railroad
in the political affairs of Mis-.
sissippi:
The Herald may squirm and
squeel ever SO much, but Judge
Truly is a bold, fearless man who
speaks his views on every occasion.
Judge Truly pays his fare when he:
rides ON the railroads; he is inde-
pendent Of the railroads and their
newspaper organs which attempt
to defeat him for governor, and If
elected governor he will give the
people a square deal.

eyes, we lawyers don't like to
admit it but the day of the elo-
quent speech to the jury is pass
ing" he said. "Not many years
ago the gathering of evidence and
the examination of witnesses was
one of the minor affairs and the
making of an eloquent speech that
would appeal to all the passions
and prejudices of a jury was the
thing of all things that lawyer
was required to know how to
do.
"Now it's all changed. 1t makes
little difference what kind of a
speech lawyer makes in the ordi-
nary case if he knows how to ar
range his testimony in such a
manner as to present the case
clearly and in proper order. If he
knows how to ask questions that
will explain the situation to the
jury in such manner that favors
his client he will win. If he knows
how to fire questions in rapid
succession at witness for the
other side and make him weaken
or hesitate or contradict himself he
has one of the best qualifications
for the lawyer Of the present day.
1.-THE cause Of the change is
chiefly in the increased knowledge
and intelligence of the average
jury. Frequently we have jury
men in the county court tell US
they are ready to bring in a verdict
without hearing the argument.
Men used to need the assistance
of the lawyers brain to think out
the matter but now they can take
the law and the evidence and find a
verdict which he cannot change by
his speech.
