Suicide Planned Cremation.

LIBBY, Dec. 27.-Coroner F. Nj.
Finn, who has returned from Bull
lake, tells OF an ingenious arrange.
ment made by Harry Bubb, a suicide
CT Friday, to cause his body to be
burned after he killed himself. After
going to the cabin of his neighbor,
Robert Wheeler, and almost killing
the man by striking him with q stove
poker and stabbing him, Bubb return
ed to his W home, killing his two
dogs and then shot himself.
He had piled i quantity of hay and
other combustible material upon the
cabin floor, after which he arranged
two candles In the hay so that after
they had burned down about two
inches they would set fire to the litter
on the floor and burn the cabin. He
lit the candles and then shot himself,
but the conclusion of the guns dis.
charge put out the candles.
The general opinion 10 that Bubb
was demented when he committed the
assault upon his neighbor. Wheeler
is still alive and 1t ia thought he will
recover. The place where the crime
was committed is In . remote locality.

When she was studying the part of

had a number Of patients suffering
from that trouble. He showed her
one Of his patients and then, to her
surprise and horror, ran the sufferer
up a flight of stairs that Miss Morris

A Kansas Prohibition Story.

There is always a new set of stories

This is the most recent one that is be.

A train was running through the

rushed into the smoking car where a
bunch of travellers we're converting

has tainted in q car up ahead. Has
anyone here any whisky?"
Immediately the chivalric crowd be.
gan to dig into several and sundry
satchels, and finally one of them pro
duced q bottle OF fine old bond and
handed 1t to the excited caller.
The latter uncorked the flask, smelled
of its contents, and then raised 1t to
his lips and gurgled down q big sec.

his lips, sit always did upset me to

ABOUT REINFORCEMENT.

The fact that political considerations
have prevented q reapportionment Of
the state for legislative representation
In the past appears to be accepted as
basis for apprehension that q fair ap.
portion ment cannot be secured now
with opposing parties in control Of the
two branches of the legislature. In
reason, this division of political In.
auences ought to work to q just con
clusion. The inequalities of the exist.
ing scheme of representation have be.
come too glaring to be tolerated long
er, says the Montana Lookout. Fur.
ther neglect by the legislative body,
or failure to reach q fair result, would
justify q resort by the electorate of
the state to the initiative and referen.
dunn and the adoption OF q reappor.
tionmen at law by q direct vote. The
necessary signatures to q petition for
such action could be prepared with
little effort and quickly, and there is
good reason to believe that such an
act would be adopted by the voters by
q conclusive majority.
The character of the legislative body
itself, whether considered politically
or in connection with the popular in.
terest which secured the election of q
majority, should assist materially in
reaching an early and proper solution
Of this long postponed problem of un-
fair representation. There are demo,
Gratis from republican counties who
person ally and from sense of obliga-
ton to their constituents would be
prompted to insist upon just recogni.
ton OF their home counties, and there
are republicans from democratic coun-
ties who certainly can have no politi-
cal motive for aiding to maintain ex.
c~essive representation from those
counties; but 1t is hoped tn at the men,
bers Of both parties In sufficient num-
her will rise above the level of mere
political trickery for party ends in
consider alton of public interests.
Whether popul alton or property be
taken as a basis, the rank inequalities
OF the existing apportionment are glar-
ingly apparent. From figures com
piled from the assessed valuation of
counties by The Daily Yellowstone
Journal, Of Miles City, it Is shown
that counties which rank in the sev
enth classed by assessed valuation,
have equal representation with coun-
ties In the second and third classes.
For example: Granite county, with
the lowest assessed valuation of all
counties in the state, a total OF 90, 174,.
597, has two members, equal to that
of Custer with GIG 1897, 276 assessed
valuation, or twice as great as Yellow
stone county with $40, 1877, 465 assessed
valuation. The last named county
with its single member ia in the same
class as Cascade with its five members,
or Lewis and Clark with seven, and
has more than q half the assessed
property valuation of Silver Bow
county with twelve members. Such q
condition cannot endure against an
intelligent public sentiment, and the
politician or party which seeks to per-
petuste such misrepresentation, either
under the old law or q new one, must
inevitably meet the effects of public
disapproval at every opportunity
where it can be made manifest.
