SATCRPAT.JULY .:. 1S'J5.
Itli pleasant to announce that the^valuable law library of the late Judge^Xlrkpatrlck. passes to the possesion of^the Butte public library as the gift of^Mrs. Klrkpatrick. During his lifetime.^Judge Klrkpatrick took an ardent In^^terest In the Butte library^he gave to^it a great deal of time and attention^during the yearswhen It was struggling^for an existence. He had much to do^with legal and other formalities that^were incident to the transfer of the^original gift of money to the city of^Butte. The Klrkpatrick library is said^to be of large value; the gift to the^public library is one which, we are sure,^the cltiiens of Butte will warmly ap^^preciate and of which formal recogni^^tion will In due time be taken. This^friendly act of Mrs. Kirkpatrick con^^stitutes another tie to bind to the^hearti of the people of Butte the mem^^ory of a lamented townsman whose^name Is now linked more strongly than^ever with the history of the public^library.
Therewas a rumor last night to the^effect that the Indians had kill -d^everybody at Jackson's Hole; It was^reported yesterday that bands of ugly^Indians were making for that point^and that they could probably arrive^there ahead of the troops. Two days^ago a force was sent forward to warn^the Indians to return at once to their^reservation An Idaho agent wired^yesterday that the Indians refused to^obey his order. One or two people who^are familiar with the situation said^yesterday that the settlers at Jack^^son's Hole could probably hold their^own until the arrival of federal troops,^but that theory Is not supported by^the rumors that were flying hist night.^In the end, the soldiers will undoubt^^edly master the situation, but If the^death rate of settlers keeps up Its pres^^ent dally average, the department at^Washington will probably wish that It^had paid more respectful attention to^the communications sent to It by the^governor of Wyoming.
AKansas Victory.^Bleeding Kansas has cause for re^^joicing if the claims of a Kansas^scientist, who says he lias solved the^problem of the chinch bug. are true.^The chinch bug has been an old ami^pestiferous enemy of Kansas. When^neither drought nor cyclone came to^disturb the Kansas farmer's dreams^and ruin his wheat, the chinch bug^arose and filled In the gap with aston^^ishing Industry and eff.Ttlvoness. To^rid Kansas society of the chinch bug^has been the desire of a generation,^but Kansas talent was too busy on^other and greater schemes of reform^and the chinch bug embraced the op^^portunity to increase and multiply and^lap over into all the bordering states.^Hut one lone citizen of Kansas, finding^no satisfactory opening for himself In^the political arena, did turn his at^^tention to the chinch bug. with re^^sults, as he proudly tells the world, of^the most gratifying nature. He baa^discovered and developed a btKlthu^with which he innoculates a law chinch^bugs and then turns them loose among^their companions, with the result that^they all catch It and die. The bigger^the army of chinch bugs, the- quicker^the epidemic gets In its fatal work,^and the louder and heartier are the^rejoicings of the amaied community.^Great ate Ingalls and Peffer and Lease^and Llcwellir.g, but greater than any^of them and all of them Is the man^who has attacked and conquered^chinch bugdom.
Hs Question Answered.
Thecost of producing silver was one^of the topics of discussion, last Thurs^^day, In the Harvcv-Horr debate. Horr^was foolish enough to fling out a lot^of figures to show that one mine had^produced silver at a cost of thirteen^cents an ounce and that. In another^instance, the cost of mining silver had^been about twenty-three cents an^ounce.
Itaeems Impossible that Intelligent^men should be misled by the quotation^of figures on the cost of sliver pro^^duction, for a brief i^ rioi), in some^phenomenal mine S. i - ^^! lnstam-i ^^can be quoted in which it appears that,^in Montana, gold has been prodsos 1 at^ten cents on the dollar^insun^that kind an- on record. Does the fig^^ure prove that gold Is not worth Its^going price
Intelligentpeople will take account^of the speculative elenunt In the pro^^duction of silver; the business of min^^ing, as every well-informed man^knows, la akin to gambling. Who can
estimatethe millions of dollars that^have been lost, in Montana for In^^stance, In the effort to work mining^properties that have proved to be fail^^ures^ There la no doubt that every^dollar resulting from silver-mining op^^erations in this state has cost a dol^^lar.
ButMr. Horr's cheap-silver assertion^can be met In a practical way. Tor^months, silver has been quoted at a^figure higher than sixty cents; It Is^about sixty-six cents to-day. There Is^no stimulus In this figure even for the^best of the sliver-producing mines In^the great silver state of Montana. The^principal sliver properties in the state^stand Idle to-day^they cannot be oper^^ated so as to pay with silver at the^price that has ruled for a year or two.^Seventy-cent silver means that the^stamp mills in this state must remain^silent. Mr. Horr knows well enough^that his talk is sophistry. He ad^^dresses his thought to the Ignorant; in^^telligent men know that there is noth^^ing sincere In his figures.
Horrput this question to his antag^^onist: ^If there Is no profit in Silver^mining, how does It happen that so^many men engage In It^^ Harvey an^^swered by asking this question: ^How^does It happen that so many men per^^sist in operating on the stock exchange^where notoriously the select few win^while the thousands lose money^^^This question is a complete answer to^Mr. Horr's query. The speculative In^^stinct runs through the human race.^Mining has Its fascination. We who^live In a mining region know how many^the disappointments are and bow few^the successes.
Theworld may be growing better, or^It may be growing worse, but for one^thing It Is growing healthier and peo^^ple are longer-lived. Oillelal statistics^of the death rate of European and Am^^erican cities show that within the post^few years the pate has fallen very ma^^terially. In London the rate has fallen^from 'M per ten thousand in 1870 to 175^In 1S35, or nearly thirty per eejit. In^Berlin the decrease has been thirty-^seven per cent. In twenty-one years. In^American cities an equally favorable^showing Is made. The remarkable de^^crease In the. death rate Is attributed^chiefly to two things^purer water and^better drainage. When either of these^sanitary safeguards Is defied or Ig^^nored, look out for a rapid rise In the^death rate.
AnOdd Arrangement.
Speakingof codes and courts and^law and that sort of thing, a decision^recently rendered In Pennsylvania Is^of passing Interest. B may be all^right In Its way, perhaps, yet it seems^remarkable that a man who murders^his father Is heir to his father's es^^tate, the parent dying without a will^and the child being otherwise the law^^ful heir. That Is a point which the^Pennsylvania court decide*. Of course,^It Is thesamelf themurder be committed^by a duughter. Tho Philadelphia Bul^^letin, referring to the decision, remarks^that parricide is so rare and se hor^^rible that the law has not deemed It^necessary to provide against the in^^heritance by the murderer of hit^parent's estate.
Thedecision has occasioned consid^^erable comment. ^The law,^ says the^Washington Post, ^la nevertheless de^^fective. If an estate passes Into the^possession of the murderer, he can dis^^pose of It. no matter how prompt may^be his detection, trial, conviction and^execution. It Is true that the crime of^parricide Is rare, but the object almost^Invariably Is to get property.^ In fact,^the Pennsylvania decision may be^sound law, but It certainly is bad mor^^als.
TheButte Miners' union has again^decided to hold Its annual picnic at^Anaconda. The date set Is August H,^The city of Anaconda appreciates the^honor and will endeavor to beat her^own record In welcoming and enter^^taining her guests from Butte. These^annual outings of the Miners' union are^always pleasant and profitable. The^Standard's desire Is that the coming^one will be the best attended and most^enjoyable In the union's history.
BeautyArtists.
Theclosing ^ertrs of the century are^WttMaatagJ the development of a new^field of enterprise for women. It Is a^beautiful business^beautiful both sub-^Jectlvily and objectively. There are^artists In these days who proclaim to^tbt w o ld to be able, for the considera^^tion of a f e^w dollars to them In hand^pal 1, to take a plain face with a stub^nose and sallow complexion, which, left^to Itself, would stop a clock at forty^rods, and transform It Into a counten^^ance of such perfect and dazzling beau^^ty as to make the sun hide his dimin^^ished head In envy and chagrin. It Is^of course better to go to the artist's^headquarters and take a course of^treatment under her own scientific^hands, but If that is Impracticable still^poor, suffering, homely femininity Is^not without means of attaining the,^highest pitch of beauty right at home.^All it has to do Is to try Madame^Whale's golden hair elixir, the great^^est discovery of the age; use Madame^Harvard's suivrlor complexion polish,^and take no other; semi for Mrs. Itose-^le.it ^ prii i h^s recipe for elongating
turl-np noses and reducing big
mouths,bewafa of dangerous Imita^^tions rotated upon the market by un^^principled manufacturers; ask your^druggist for the only l.alla Rhook's^sparkling ^ ye enlargcr anil justly cele-^luated Parisian bus: and dimple devel^^oper, a valuable preparation also for^sup. rfluous hair, freckles. Indigestion^and mosquito bites. It s her own fault^If a girl these days refuses to put her^^self into a condition In which she can^give Venus cards and spades.
Somegirls, it would seem, however,^are not quite so susceptible of artistic
treatmentas others. News comes from^Cleveland. Ohio, Mi.it Miss Pauline^Whltaker of that city has sued a cer^^tain artist for 15,000 damages for hav^^ing, as alleged, spoiled the plaintiff's^complexion. According to the com^^plaint the artist advertised that she^could make any face beautiful within^a month. She could take the raw ma^^terial, knead It over, obliterate any dis^^figurements, render the features regu^^lar and attractive, and Impart to the^oheeks a dainty flush of pink and white^that would throw all male spectators^Into a state of raving dollrlum. Miss^Whltaker went to the artist's beauty^parlors, took a regular course of treat^^ment, followed out all the dlreotlons,^sat up all day and half the night apply^^ing lotlons.olntmenLs and salves, to say^nothing of pinching her cheeks, pulling^her nose straight, pursing her mouth^Into the proper curves and all that; and^at the end of it all, she swears, her^poor face was so eaten away and dis^^figured by the poisonous drugs that she^had to call In a physician, who charged^her 1200 for saving the pieces. In ad^^dition to this pecuniary outlay, Pauline^says srie Isn't as pretty as she used to^be by a good deal, a fact which causes^her great mental anguish, wherefore^she prays for the 15,000 aforesaid.
Itwould be manifestly improper for^a newspaper to offer any comments on^this singular case In advance of the^trial. Which we trust will bring out the^facts fully and impartially. If the^beauty artists are really imposing up^^on the public, if in fact their wonder^^ful remedies for crookedness of the^nose, enlargement of the mouth and^masslveness of the feet are not what^they purport to be, if theey really can^^not give our girls brilliancy of com^^plexion, splendor of eyes, delicacy of^hands, and glossiness of hair, If they^actually cannot make dimples and such^things to order, tho public ought to^know It. Ltt the facts come out.
RICHARDO. HICKMAN.
ThereIs general regret expressed all^over tho state nt the death of State^Agent It. O. Hickman, who was ono of^tho best known old-timers In the state,^le was one of the most respected citi^^zens and has occupied tunny prominent^positions.^Butte Mining and Hallway Itc-^vlcw.
Mr.Hickman was one of the most^prominent, reliable and respected citi^^zens of the state, having been a resident^of the state for 30 years and filling nu^^merous positions of honor and trust, as^well as showing the best of qualities In^the several branches of business which^he pursued.^Boulder Age.
DickHickman was one of the prominent^men of Montana, a staunch friend and a^man above reproach. He was one of the^coterieof Virginia City who left that place
henMontana became a state, and found^positions of trust and emolument. He^had a large circle of genuine friends and^was everywhere known as ^Honest^Dick.^^Jiozeman Chronicle.
R.O. Hickman died nt a hospital In^Chicago Saturday. He was state lnnd^agent at the time of his death. He was^ono of the best known men In the stute,^hating filled various ntllees of trust In^the slate and having been the first state^treasurer. He was an able man. with all^the good-fellowship and energy of the^men who laid the foundations of this new^commonwealth-Helena News.

Inthe death of Richard O. Hickman,^state land iiKcnt. Montana loses an hon^^ored citizen and faithful public servant.^As a member of the legislature, terri^^torial treasurer, state treasurer and state^land agent he prove.1 a most worthy and^competent official. He was one of Mon^^tana's ploneeers and all who knew him^were his friends, admirers nnd well-wish^^ers. His death is a serious public loss,^and the bereaved family have the pro^^found sympalhy of all the people of Mon-^tana.^Hulte Miner.
Thewhole state to-day mourns over^the open grave of Richard O. Hickman,^and the vast concourse of people gather^^ed around his Mar In Helena Is but an^Indication of the grief that p.luikM ev^^ery community In Montana. Ills was one^of the noble lives that shed luster upon^the young commonwealth and every cit^^izen can read In his honorable career^wholesome lessons of patriotism. Justice^and humanity. He was one of tlie plo.^neers who made the state, and history^only ran do Justice to the heroism of^such men during the formative period of^our territorial government. His contem^^poraries honor, posterity will Worship.^^Helena Herald.
THEY'RE AFTER HIM.
Letus see. what was this Sanders said^to Coder about traitors7-lv. r Lodge^New Northwest.
ThoseIll-advised remarks of Colonel^Sanders' en the silver sentiment In Mon^^tana seem destined to bra forever. Kv-^ery goldbng organ In the Kast la seizing^upon them and rehashes them for the^benefit of their too confiding readers.^^Ureal Palls Leader.
Ex-SenatorSanders' goldhug expres^^sions recently and his prediction that^Sherman would prove a presidential fa-^forlte with the Montana republicans is^being hooted at by some, but Its verifica^^tion would be fully In keeping with the^election of Carter as a United States sen^^ator^Peer Lodge Silver State.
Kx-SenatorSanders, as usual. Is mak^^ing a rosette of himself In the Kast by^being Interviewed and giving out ihe Im^^pression that the silver question don't^affect the prosperity of this pan of the^country to any gie.it ext. in. Colonel^Sanders Is a model republican. ^Hutte lly-^^tandi r.
HetSandcrs) uiiblushlngly proclaims^himself as the tool of the K.astern money^and corporation power which so many^MSSBSS In Montana have long suspected^him of being. The late lamented legisla^^ture, whati ver may have been Its short^^comings In other rags-gats}, must at least^re* given credit for turning down this^traitor to the Interests of Montana.^Dil^^lon Tribune.
Thellel.na Independent says Colonel^Sanders is ^turning yrtww.^ This Is a^great mistake. He Is not turning v. How.^Ills financial opinions have had the laun-^dice (or years, he is a goldhug and al
wayshas b^en. It Is true he wore a sli^^ver veneering when courting the elusive^bauble of office, but any one not suffer^^ing from strabismus of the Intellect could^see through the tin-foil that passed for^silver on his political shi Id.-Montana^Mining Area.
HasColonel Sanders made a political^mistake^ No. His party is over whelm-^Ingly against silver. It will nominate^an anti-silver man for president on an^anti-silver platform In la^^. And If It car^^ries the country the Montana war horse^will bo one of the central figures of the^next administration. Perhaps secretary^of the Interior. At least an ambassador.^There's nothing the matter with Banders.^He's a little more nervy than the rest of^them . And he hates sham. That's all.^^Helena Independent.
ColonelBanders, by his eastern Inter^^views, is ^getting back^ at the voters of^Montana for their constant neglect to^elect him to any publio office. He has^tried so often and failed so Invariably to^secure the endorsement of a popular^vote in this state that It would he a sur^^prising exhibition of forbearance on his^part to refrain from bitter reflections^upon the Judgment of the people of Mon^^tana, for ^mean spirits, under disappoint^^ment, like small beer In a thunder storm,^always turn sour.^^Columbus Express.
UNDERTHE NEW LAWS.
Thegamblers, It seems, have no idea^of fighting the law and tin horns are get^^ting conspicuously less.^Bozeman Chron^^icle.
Accordingto the new codes the maVor^of a city Is qualified to perform the legal^marriage ceremony.^Yellowstone Valley
Recorder.
Thecodes provide that a mayor shall
beelected each year and hold office for^two. This being the case. Bozeman will^next year have two mayors. There Is too^much glory In It for ono man, anyhow.^^Ilozeman Chronicle.
Wehave no especial desire to be con^^sidered a woman-hater, for we love the^sex, but we believe that the practice of^legislator s In giving clerkships to wo^^men because they have pretty faces and^nothing to recommned them but their^ability to draw salary should be discon^^tinued. The jumbling of the codes, It Is^el.ilined. Is due to woman's hand.^Mis^^soula Republican. '
Thenewspapers are having a great deal^of fun over conflicts In the codes. If they^would look to the last title in tho codes^and learn how they are to be construed,^in case of conflict, they would see there^can bo no real conflict. There may be^conflicts between the col s and the legis^^lation enacted during the session which^would be a part of the codes. We take^It. however, that there will be no serious^nnslttnt The worst thing In the laws will^be mistakes In enrollment. The clerical^work of tho last legislature was very^badly performed.^Helena Law Bulletin.
Thispeculiar state of affairs is due to^the superior wisdom and sagacity of the^code commissioners and members of the^legislature who drafted and adopted a^law which provides for the election of^city officers every year and at the same^time fixes there term of office at two^years. This last discovery will doubtless^stimulate the efforts of our ^code^^cranks, and before another week passes^we expect to see the public treated to^another revelation tbut will be more^startling than any previous one. The leg^^islature of 1WG will go down In history,^the same as the famous ^gopher law^^legislature did during the territorial days.^- Plllon I'.xumlnrr.
ThereIs so much being ssld about^Colonel Sanders' ^Piratical Edition of the^Codes^ that the Bystander hardly knows^what to think of It, any more than that^the printing of the edition was done In^the Past, which Is no commendation to^that work. Kvery line of the official^codes, from composition to binding, was^done right here in Montana. It is true,^the people of the state have to pay $v^^^for the homo article, but It Is Just as true^that every cent of It was paid out to^printers, pressman and binders, who will^spend every sou right back from whence^It came, l'ndcr those circumstances, it is^doubtful If the ^edition de luxe^ will be^the roaring success anticipated for it by^Its authors.^Butte Bystander.
