lIV MONTANA ,TOWNS lsoo, ry That the Sohool Bonds Voted by Missoula Are Also Irregular. Comment Inspired, Humorous and Otherwiee, at the Expense of Lawyers. IComumoedablo Actlivty" Dlsplaye. in Certain Iastanoes-serete of the Old Blv.-Creops. MiasonuA, Aug. 19.--[Special.]--Te die. covery this week that the issue of $45,000 of school bonds was illegal has not caused much comment, and in the light of the bridge and sewer bond iasco is taken as a matter of course, New elections will have to be held on all the questions, and while there is no doubt that the bonds in each case will get the majority of the votes, the additional expense and delay is aggrEvating to the ood he community. The legal flaw in the school bonds is that the notices which were printed were not properly posted. The school buildings for which the bonds were voted are already ap proaching completion, and would anything happen by which they should be defeated, or a further delay occur, the proposition would be considerably muddled. The com ments made by the citizens on legal talent connected with the matter have been humorous and otherwise; mostly otherwise. The attack on the Chinee gardeners, which occurred here last Sunday, has caused a great deal of animated discusion on the streets. The labor unions have denounced the affair and emphatically disclaimed any connection with the matter. The activity of the officers in arresting.the supposed perpetrators is commendable and should be continuous. Some time since a Chinese woman, held here in a condition of the worst degradation by a wealty Chinaman, attempted to escape from her disgraceful positioh of bondage and nearly succeeded, but the $100 offered for her arrest by the slave owner had a wonderful effect in producing "commend able activity" in the police department. A charge of robbery had been sworn out against her, but only a few clothes in a very small bundle were in her possession when arrested, and even the formality of taking her before a justice was not gone through. She was simply turned loose at the jail door to be again taken possession of by her master, It is not often that the old Missoula river voluntarily gives up its secrets, but the finding on its banks of the body of Robert McVey is one of the exeeptions. Perhaps some day the mysterious disappearance of Mr. Thomas will be likewise explained. In the early days of Northern Pacific con struction the river formed a convenient re ceptacle in which to hide the evidences of murderous crimes committed by outlaws that congregated in the construction camps of the new road. At that time some giant powder was exploded in the river a few miles above Thompson Falls, and re suited in five bodies coming to the surface. This discovery was immediately followed by the hanging by vigilantes of three of the worst characters that infested the re gion and the summary ordering out of the country of a number of hard cases. But there are still a number of mysteries which would probably be solved could the old river tell its tale. The fine weather of the past two weeks came in the nick of time to enable the far mere to successfully harvest their crops. Tihe heay crop, though fair, is not as large as was expected owing to the depredations of the unusually large number of grasehop pers. The grain crop is over average and the acerage planted has been larger than during any previous year. That. sown on the dry ranches where irrigating ditches have not yet been dug has yielded prolific ally owing to the generous rainfall early in the season. The teachers' institute which was held during the week was very successful and g' atifying to those interested in education al affairs, and the number of pretty school ma'ams seen about the town formed an ad ditional attraction to the garden city. Mis souls has the largest number of teachers of any county in the state. A number of business men from the (cmur d'Alene mininai camps visited the town during the week. Railroad men re port that the travel over the new road is large and increasing. A great deal of ore is also coming over the new line. Preparations have been made for the en tertainment of the 1,200 people who will be in town to-morrow on the miners' picnic from Granite and Philipeburg. PHILIPSBURG.

The Pall Mall Gazette: A pretty story of the late Emperor Frederick is told in one of the German papers. Some years ago, shortly before the death of the old emperor of Germany, a tall, handsome gentleman jumped into a third-class carriage of a local railway at Berlin, just as the train was leaving the station. An old flower seller, with a basket of newly-out hya cinths, was the only other ocoou pant of the compartment. He asked the old dame to sell him a bunch, and, mollified by his suave manner, she choose the freshest and largest, and handed it to him. Its price was a penny, but as 'the gentleman had no coppers. and the old woman no change, not having sold any of her goods yet, she was paid with a mark piece, which as she said at once, was a thing that had never been heard of before in a third-class railway carriage. Presently the stranger and the flower-seel ler were deep in conversation, and it turned out that the poor woman was the only breadwinner of a family of four. Her son was crippled, her granddaughter a lit tle school-girl, and her husband had for some months past been out of work, since a new railway official had dismissed him as being too old to do much work. The stranger then suggested that she should apply, on her husband's behalft to the railway authorities. "That is no good whatever," she replied, as she wiped her tears with her apron. "If you haven't the pope for your cousin nowadays you can't get anybody to listen to you.' "Then try the emperor," the stranger went on. "Alasl" she sighed, "if the old gentle man were allowed to see the petitions that are sent, it might do some good, but he does not get to know about us poor people." "Well, then, let your husband write to the crown prince." "Yes," she said, "he mightdo that." and she would tell him so as soon as she had sold her flowers. By this time the train had not to the terminus, the old dame bundled out her basket and noticed with astonishment that the officials and the crowd on the platform looked at her carriage, and saluted and cheered. "What's up?" she asked. "Why, the crown prince was in the same compartment with youl" Then the flower-seller held her head high and told every syllable of what bad happened to the delighted crowd. Her flowers were sold before five minutes were over, and a fortnight afterward her hus band was at work again in his old place. MY LOVE. Not as all other women are Js she that to my soul is dear; ier glorious fancies come from far Eeneath the silver evening star, And yet her heart is ever near. Great feelings hath she of her own, Whieh lesser souls may neer known iGod giveth them to her alone, And sweet they are as any tone Wherewith the wind may choose to blow. Yet in herself she dwelleth not. Although no home were half so fair; No simplest duty is forgot, Life hath no dim and lowly spot That doth not in her suushine share. She doeth little kindnesses, Which mo.,t leave undone, or despise; For naught that sats one heart at ease And giveth happiness or peace, is low esteemed in her eyes. She hath no scorn or common things. And, though she seem of other birth, Round us her heart entwines and clings, And pastently she folds her wings To tread the humble paths of earth. Blessing she is: God made her so, Anti d eds of week dlay lholinese Fall frorm h,,r noiseless as the snow, Nor hath she ever chanced to know That aught were easier than to blesL She is most fair, and thereunto Her life doth rightly hlarrmonize; heeling or tionght wan not true Ne'er made more boeautiful the bhi Unclouded heaven of her eyes. She is a woman; one in whom The springtime of her childish years lath never Ilst its fresh perfume, Though knowing well that life hath rotn For many blighlts and many tears. 1 love her wit ha love as still As a brosad rivr's ipeacefIl miqht, Which, by high tower andr lonwly mill, Goes wandering at its own will, And yet doth ever tdow aright. Antid n its frull, deep breast s.rone, Like quiet isles my dutie.r lie; It flows around them andl between. And makes theln fresh and fs r and green, Soeet homes wherein to live and die. --J anmes Ruosell Lowell. FOR REMEM BANCE.

The Informal Region Tarned aInte a e public and Politielans in Demand. "He was a portly, gray-haired gentleman of benevolent aspect and kindly nature. He wore a dress coat and gold eyeglassea, and all that was red about him were the ruby studs in his white shirt front. "Haven't you visited the earth lately?' I asked him. "Nol not since my election." "Your election?" I queried. "I thought you had been thrown out of the upper circle some millions of years ago, and you have been retignin below ever since." "Ob. no,' he answered with a smile. "The infernal regions are now a republio. We elect a president once a century, "And Old Imoifer." "We got tired of his despotism long ago. He is now shoveling coal for the dynamo." "And are you the fallen angel?" "No, I never was an angel. I was a law. yer before I died. The fallen angels are all engaged in menial ocaupations now. Man kind got away with them. Oh, the place is vastly altered now. We have manhood suf frage and primaries and municipal eleo tions. The fact is the methods of the world are so far superior to those that used to obh. tain down there that we have adopted all we could." "You surprise me." * "Bless your soul," said the Devil, "you wouldn't know the lower regions. Still, the earth is a little ahead of us in many points, and, indeed, partly why I accepted yourinvitation was to see what improve ments I could introduce below." "Pardon me, but about the fire and brim stone?" "There's no such thing, and as for hunt ing souls, I think I'll put an advertisement in the papers informing the public that we have no agents traveling looking for them. All such are sheer impostors. In the very old days, when business was new. of course we had to employ drummers, but now we are considering seriously the passing of 'a restriction act and allowing no more immi gration. The fact is that people now seem to be eager to come to us. What with sol ence and civilization and enterprise and the struggle for life, the earth has become un bearable, and the number of sunicides is alarming us. You see, the fallen angel dynasty was all right until some smart men came there, naid a socialistic movement arose. Your ideas of us are all wrong. The infernal regions are not at all like what you think they are. We found some refined process of punishment as the years went on. The old idea was to roast people and give them nothing to drink. "That was expensive and troublesome. We were exhausting coal, too, and we had to do something. We used to make people do all the disagreeable things they disliked to do. Now, we force them to do all the thingsthey like to do. It is a very severe punishment. For instance, if a man is very fond of whisky, we don't give him anything else, and he has to drink all the time. By the way, I wish you would send us a real good political boss. We have got the political machine quite smoothly yet. There is an innate modesty in the human nature that will not be roasted out, even. We want a process of ridding the soul of everything that is good. Every now and then there is a revolution in favor of virtue, and sometimes it really looks as if it would suc ceed." By this time we had reached the lobby of the California theater, and Manager Gil more kindly placed his private box at our disposal. We walked in. "What is this play?" we asked. "The Twelve Temptations." "Then a quartette of grotesque figure. executed the most quaint, eccentric dance." "What are these things?" "They are gnomes, spirits and goblins, supposed to be supernatural beings." "This is very, very funny," and the devil laughed a loud, melodious kind of laugh. "This is what they call a farce-comedy, isn't it?" "No, no; this is a tremendously serious mythological play." "I must get a manuscript and have it aro duced down below. We are sadly in need of a burlesque. The dialogue is clever, not bad at all; but what is this scene?" "The heart of the frigid zone." "This is original. We haven't anything quite as handsome as this in the infernal regions, but we have an abundance of ice, the accumulations of centuries, and I am thinking seriously of inaugurating a freez ing spell. I must copy this. It will make a great hit with the elite of our society." "What are all these handsome creatures?" "That is the ballet." "How superb. I must instruct my secre tary to at once secure their names and ne gotiate for their appearance: they will turn the heads of our exclusive '400.' " He sat quietly now, as if in deep study, watching carefully the movements of the pretty girls and the bewildering changes of scenery until the last act was reached and the pantomime commenced, when he sud denly broke out in a fit of laughter and rolled over in the box. "And what are they?" he asked when he had sufficiently recovered. "They are English pantomimists." "Well, that is clever. We have not vet reached such perfection in our dominion. Is the man living who wrote the play?" "Oh, yes; Charles B. Yale, residence, Philadelphia." "Thanks, I'll make a memorandum of it, and should he come our way I'll see that he is properly promoted." We sat and watched the bal.et of "The Nations," the grand transformation scene, and finally the curtain fell and we walked down the street, and "How is the drama down there?" I asked. "It is very floutishing. I am very much santsfied. The French plays are just the kind of things that suit our ideas, and then Isben and Sudermann are immensely popu Iar. We don't like the American plays. They still seem to inculcate that virtue tri umphs. But the pieces have brought us a great many desirable immigrants. I mean people of culture and brains, who usually go the other way. We have endowed a theater for the Isben cult, and 'Hedda Gable', is to be produced in great style. It will be a state event with us. Of course in some of his pieces we cut out the virtuous scenes. They are apt to denmoralize our audiences. But the drama is a great and growing agent with nus. We don't care so mIuch for the criminila and the vicious uneducated. We have uenough of thiem, and the drama is bringing us a better class since the dramatists began showing up the frailer side of human na tore." It was time for him to return. "I have until cock crow," he said, "but I guess 1'11 get back early. My wife will be anxious. Good ninht. Glad to have mut you. I will remember your kindness when we meet below." So we had another drink and the devil disappeared.-San Francisco Ch onicle. Dr. Liebig & Co.'s Extensive Practice.
