Woman Denounces Brigham.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Brigham
Young was characterized as q 'treach-
erous rebel'' last night by Mrs. H. O.
Owen. speaking to the Twentieth Cen.
fury club Of All Souls Unitarian
church of this city, Of which President
Taft is q member.
Mrs. Owen vigorously protested
against the decorations of the silver
service to be presented to the battle
ship Utah by the people of that state.
She declared that one piece bore the
features OF Brigham Young as the
dominant figure and that she hoped to
have q measure introduced in the
house of representatives designed to
prevent the acceptance of the silver BY
the ship until this is altered. Mrs.
Owen said that she took her stand on
the ground that Brighsm Young was
q rebel and would not "touch On the
subject of polygsmy."

Won His Wauer.

Mrs. Somerville, the great methema-
tician and scientific writer. had to a
great extent the power Of concentra-
ton and became so absorbed IN her
task as to be unconscious Of what was
going on around her. Dr.. Somerville
told Harriet Martineau that he once
laid a wager with a friend that he
would abuse Mrs. Somerville in Il loud
voice to her face and she would take
no notice. and he did so. Sitting close
to her. he confided to his friend
the most injurious ~things-that she
rouged. that she wore a wig and 9TH
er such nonsense, uttered in a very
loud voice. Her daughters were in a
roar of laughter. while the slandered
lady sat placidly writing. At last her
husband made a dead pause after her
name. on which she looked up with an
innocent did you speak to me?".

Daily Niseoulian.

II have been in Helena for q few
days." said a man who has seen Q
good deal OF politics speaking to the
Man About Town. ut is an interest.
ing situation over there. l never saw
anything exactly like it. There are
more democrats than republicans in
the legislature, but there don't seem
to be any of the democrats who seem
to know what they want, except the
Silver Bow delegation. I have often
wondered how II ia tn at the Butte fellows
maintain their position as the bosses
of their party, but it was made clear
to me when l watched the way things
are going at the capitol. If the other
fellows would get together they would
have no trouble at all in getting things
to come their way, but they just mill
around and don't seem to know what
they r there for or how long they
are expected to stay.
1T is really a ridiculous situation;
the little bunch Of men from the Big
Butte have the swing of things; they
are organized and are in the swim
all the time. They have the biggest
delegation, of course, but the little
delegations could bunch up and make
it very interesting for the men from
Butte II they chose to do so l am
wondering how long it will take the
outside delegations to get on to the
stu alton. They act like a lot of som.
nambulists now.'

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 25, 1911.
GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE,

The twelfth legisl alive assembly now
in session resembles several former
Montana legislatures, in the matter
OF failing to represent the people Of
the Treasure state. The unfair ap-
portionment Of representation, which
has been in existence some fifteen
years. results in the representatives
Of . minority of the people Of Mon.
tana having the power that should
rest with the majority.
A better appreciation Of these con.
ditions will be had by glsncing at the
makeup of the house of representa-.
tives in the twelfth assembly. 1t will
be found that less than one third of
the population Of Montana is repre-.
sented by q majority of the members
OF the house. The following exhibit
gives the population of each county
named, according to the recent federal
census, and the number of its mem.
bers in the present house of represent

FLYING IN DREAMS.
A Sensation Like That Which Some.
times Precedes Death.

times Precedes Death.
The sensation of flying is One of the
earliest to appear in the dreams of
childhood. 1t seems to become less
frequent after middle age. Beaunis
states that in his case it ceased ut the
age of fifty. 1t is sometimes the last
sensation at the moment OF death.
10 rise. to fall, to glide away has
rften been the last conscious sensation
recalled by those who seemed to be
dying. but have afterward been brought
back to life. Pieron has noted this
sensation at the moment of death in a
number of cases. usually accompanied
by a sense of we'll being. The cases he
describes We're mostly t~uberculous and
included individuals of both sexes and
with atheistic as well as religious be-
liefs.
In all the last sensation to which ex-
preston was given was one Of flying.
Of moving upward. In some death was
peaceful. in others painful. In one
case a girl died clasping the iron bars
Of the bed. in horror of being borne
upward.
Pieron associates this sensation with
the similar sensation Of rising and float
ing in dreams and with that Of NOV
ing upward and resting on the air ex-
perienced by persons in the ecstatic
state. In all these cases alike life Is
being concentrated in the brain and
central organs. while the outlying dis
tricts Of the body are becoming numb
and dead.
Dream flight, it is necessary to note.
is not usually the sustained flight Of a
bird or an insect. and the dreamer
rarely or never imagines that he is
borne high into the air. Hutchinson
states that of all those whom he has
asked about the matter hardly n
has ever known himself to make any
high flights in his dreams. One al
most always flies low. with a skim
ming manner. slightly. but only slight
~. above the heads of pedestrians.
Bearnis-from his own experience
describes a typical kind of dream
flight as a series Of light bounds at
one q two yards above the earth. each
bound clearing from ten to twenty
yards. the dream being accompanied
by a delicious sensation of ease and
movement as we'll as a lively satisfac-
ton at being able to solve the problem
of aerial locomotion by virtue Of SUI
perior organization alone.
Lafcadio Hearn somewhat similarly
describes in his "Shadowings" a typi-
cal and frequent dream of his own as
a series of bounds in long parabolic
curves. rising to a height of some twen-
ty-tve feet and always accompanied by
the sense that a new power had been
revealed, which for the future would
be q permanent Atlantic.

Earthquakes Bar Progress.

Japan has a great number Of water.
falls which would be of material value
in the development Of the country. but
the reason these valuable sources Of
power are not being developed is be-
cause Of the danger of earthquakes
which is constantly confronting the
people. More than once within recent
years have steps been taken with the
view Of constructing dams in order
that these falls might be utilized when
some demonstration of the earth has
given warning Of the danger of such a
step and the promoters have been
forced to abandon or greatly modify
the proposed improvement.-New York
Press.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

1t is the opinion of members of the
twelfth assembly that Governor Nor.
ris' recommend atoms as to economy
do not apply to the employment of
committee clerks and other legislative
help. Some IS employees are already
on the house pay roll, compared with
81 in the eleventh assembly, and Al in
the legislature of four years ago.
An increase in the pay of Jurors is
contemplated in a bill which provides
that they shall receive 81 per day, and
10 cents per mile to and from their
homes to the county seat. The bill
also provides that juror must be paid
for each days attendance for the term
or session for which he was summoned
until excused. including Sundays and
legal holidays, except that when a
juror is excused on his own motion he
shall receive no compensation for any
day he 10 absent from court by reason
thereof.

He chsmpioned . similar increase two
years ago, but It failed to become q

There is q similar situation in the
state senate, which under the pro.
visions of the constitution consists OF
one member from each county. The
trainers OF the constitution, and the
Montana voters who ratified that In.

Representative O'Flynn of Silver
Bow has given notice of intention to
introduce q bill providing for a law
which will make wife desertion a fell
ony, punishable by Imprisonment for
from one to IS years. At present the
only statute applying, even remotely,
is q law which makes the abandon
ment of q child under IL years of age
q felony. and provides for imprison-
ment for from one to seven years for
violations. Difficulty has been expert
enced in enforcing the law, but the
statute contemplated by Mr.. O'Flynu
will be broad enough, he thinks, to
the subject thoroughly.
The house committee has turned
down the plan to buy 230 additional
acres of land for the state capitol, but
recommended the purchase OF 40 acres
directly behind the capitol. The pre-.
sent grounds are 10 acres in extent.
The additional land is to be bought
from the funds in the state capitol
land grant, the money OF which can.
not be used for any purpose other
than for capitol buildings and
grounds.
The grant was received from the
government at the time Montana be.
came q state and is now worth ap.
proximstely $4,000, 600. OF this one
million is needed for completing the
wings to the present building and for
the payment of the Cruise warrants.
representing money advanced for the
building of the original structure.
The remaining two millions is in lands
and available cash. There seems to
be q disposition among some members
to get rid of this fund az soon as pos.
sible, but the majority is inclined to
hold TO the greater part Of the fund
against the day when Montana may
need much larger capitol buildings
than those It now has.
