Trustworthy testimony to the effect that the cause of free coinage (rains ground is accumulating. Mr. YV. A. I'lark, who has recently returned from llurope, said in an interview which the Jluttr Mini r printed yesterday morn- ing: Theft is » growing sentiment all over Kuropo in favor of bimetal- lism. I talked w ith a number of lead- ing manufacturers of Kngland, among them Mr. Mattheison, the well-known Mppfsf manufacturer, and they all agreed that a return to a bimetallic standard is a mere matter of time. They lind that it h> impossible to con- duct the business of nations on a sin- gle gold basis. On the silver question the signs are very encouraging." Mr. Clark is a frequent visitor to Kurope and the continent, and his ac- quaintance abroad with men in busi- ness life gives value to his testimony respecting foreign opinion on the sil- ver question. All that is transpiring in Kurope may properly be accepted in corlirmation of the opinion that the nations are soon to return to a finan- cial system which will provide full function for silver. On this question a letter lately writ- ten to a friend by Senator liubois and limited in the Silt Laltat Ti ihiim is suggestive. The senator says: The sliver situation Is s peculiar one here. Sentiment chaimlni; very f ist. It In dawning <m the minds of Eastern rieoplc that the rlnati- rtal system Is rcspousllile for the present In- dustrial condition of tiio country The attitude el l.(Hlt;e of Massachusetts shows the eliaDjte thai is ipilns; on. Hie |iolllleiaiis also recognize that if one of the . n- ! parlies eomes out bipiarely for free coinage pledges and t he oilier great parly straddles on the ipiestion, the free coinage pari\ uill swiwp the eoimtry. In my judgment, the trend of events- In Eurorie and this reunif y makes the outlook for silver more hopeful than II has la-en since ls;a. Whlln this is tin-n-ai ciiidUlon, evt -rylhlug Is In more or less ot » i haultc -tale.

While this Is not very satisfactory, for the present we lielieva that haste will he made nulcker lu this way. The populists of Montana propose to take the lie-Id early. They have issued tln-ir call for a state convention which will be held in the city of Deer Lodge on Monday, June -\ Populist county committees are requested to hold county conventions June K, for the election of delegates to the state convention. Pursuant to the request of the state committee, the STANKAUIV prints the call for the state convention. A good deal (a! talk, apparently of an unauthorized sort, is in circulation ro- Kpecting political fusions. On that score the llutte BptUutder Mid last Saturday that it is opposed to fusion in the belief thai the populists have nothing to gain by it. May and the Stars. Alter quite a period of depression and Inactivity, superstition is fast picking up again. The statement is made in all seriousness and upon what is said to lu excellent authority that the date for the Iteale-lilaine wedding was fixed for last Monday, April in deference to the bride, "who wished to avoid the traditional ill luck that is supposed to attend weddings that take place in May." Modem superstition seems to be taking this form, regard for particular times and seasons; a fact traceable, probably, to tin- monthly announcements of certain London as- trologers, who seem to be the develop- ment and otitgrowlh of the weather prophets. Astrology has revised every- where, its professors abound in all the larger cities and are catching most of the trade that has heretofore gone to the spirit mediums. Perhaps theos- optiy, more or less directly, has had u good deal to do with the boom in as- trology and the contemporaneous de- cline In spiritualism. It may be of interest to know that the stars are looking down on the I'nited states with compassion,and are arranging a series of pleasant surprises for us. The month of May, we are as- sured, is going to pull America out of the hole in great style. Agriculture will thrive, business will be brisk, trade will increase all along the line, strikes will be amicably settled and prosperity in large measures restored, nut this good fortune, mind you. is for the western hemisphere only. In Kurope things are going to be rather worse than ever. Trade will languish in Kngland particularly, and toward the close of the month strikes will in- crease and multiply. A gloomier pic- ture could hardly lie drawn than Kn- gland's forecast for the month of May: "Saturn speaks 111 for finance, and taxation is likely to increase; there will also lie a falling off in the revenue returns; failures will occur, and the condition of trade and money gener- ally will be very unsatisfactory. In traveling some serious disasters will occur, and fraud and theft will be more than usually prevalent in the postolllce. Schools and places of amusement will suffer; much sickness may be expected during the early part of the mouth, and some very sudden deaths. The accidental position of Venus denotes many marriages, chielly of people in high life, or perhaps roy- alty." The present month, moreover, will have a strong tendency to be highly disastrous to all persons born on or about April i>, May 3, May Hi, or Octo- lier li Such persons are cautioiii'd to be extremely carettil in all their acts during May, and on no account to he- gin any important undertaking, get married or go on a long journey before tht) spell is over. OM cannot be too conservative when thoro is a conihiiia- of the whole universe against him. The Illinois supremo court has handed down a decision declaring tin- ticket scalers' act of that state con- stitutional. In one or two other states the court of last resort has decided just the other way. The last legisla- ture of Mont, ma passetl a similar act, the constitutionality of which, we be- lieve, has not yet been tested. -All these acts, it Is understood, are prac- tically the same, the text of the bills having lieen prepared by the railroad companies "In concerted action. With such a law in force in ono stato and not in the next, more or less confusion will follow both to the traveling public and the railroads themselves. The height of the Coxey movement seems to have been reached Saturday when seven enthusiastic cnmmouweal- ers startetl from II irrodsburg, Ky., bound for Washington in a balloon. They took along a lot of compasses anil maps, together with six days' pro- visions and everything to make them comfortable, and it they do'not have a high old time of it moving on W ash- ington it will not be their fault, but that of the balloon. If they can steer it with sufficient precision, they should make it a point to light right on lop of the dome of the capitol, which would serve as an admirable ros'.rnin for the orators of UH party, lialloons have been utilized in war and their serviceability to the army of peaco readily suggests itself. The sheriff of Allegheny county. Pa., is in a dilemma, lie has got to hang a man named Hill, who killed a Mrs. Ilot/.ler last fall, (in the night of the murder Hill was found lying IK S,do the dead woman, with his throat cut from ear to ear. With the aid of a silver tube w hich was piaced perma- nently in ltiB neck, Hill recovered. The position of the wound in Hill 's neck is such that if a rope around his neck is drawn taut it w ill slip above the wound, and he could continue to breathe through the opening below the rope. If, in order to carry out the sentence of the court, the sheriff pre- sumes to take out the tube or to stop it up, he will kill Hill in a manner not alio wed by law, and will himself be liable to the charge of murder, lb- has got to break Hill's neck, but the art of hanging has not yet been brought to the point where dislocation of tne vertebrae is rendered absolutely cer- tain. The tribe of Hills is a hard one to down anyway. IN FOREIGN LANDS. Montana's neighbors in llnlisli <'oltnn- bia are in Iks) inulst of a very sensational |K>litical broil. Charges of liriln-iv and corruption have been preferred In the op- position in the provincial lesjialaltira against the premier of llio rmiyinn-, Mr. Davie, and bis colleagues. Sonic time ago a provincial guarantee of interest upon llio IMIIIIU of the Nakttsp ,t Sim an railway wna given lu the extent of I pa* cent, per annum on $Jj,(Oi per mile lor M yours, the right being reserved to siili- stitute bonds guaranteeing principals! the rate ol $17. <i pel mile, vv u!i m ere .t at a rale per annum hillllcieut to enable llio eonipativ to realize pur. but in no case io i-vceod 4 pet cent, per annum. vTeea the bill w as in trod in oil into the li gis latum Bar lawpayrpeee of giving swasat n> the agreement the opposition charged that Premier Hav io had been woikmg for Hal company und not for the province, and u was also charged that other niemiM-rs of III" provincial cabinet, or . \ooutivo coun- cil, as they call it up there, were actuated by corrupt motives in thou- action. The legislature of tho province has been d;s. solved and the gov eminent is appealing to the electors for vindication of its action in this matter. The tight thai is now waging on tho BBS* Inge and in the press is an intensely bitter one. Hut much of the powder has tioou draw n from the guns of the opposition by the dominion sjovsfS> mom's action in appointing a royal com- mission to investigate the charges against Davie and Ins colleagues. I'ln-c.uiiinis. •ion is composed of Justice Blirhsflsa of the supreme court of tho dominion and Sir Matthew Hegbie, trie most 1 - guished jurist in the ipieeu 'a Dorthweal dominions. Hegbie is a cli ir u t- r: he is brilliant and ns n law ver has tea pears in any pari of I he Hntisli empire. In wig ami gown he looks lbs personitiealion of judicial dignity ; ho is one of tbe wittlasl men oil tho Pacific coast and a better story teller can't bo found west of the Kooky mountains. Ho is a great personal friontl of 1'rentier Davie, hut that won't make am difference when he comes to look into the rharges. lVgbie is beyond reproach in point of integrity and probity. If the ev idence discloses that Davie has done wrong, he »ill bo turned down by Sar Matthew in proper style. Many people in the northwestern part of Montana are doeply interested in the outcome of this contest. The construc- tion of tins s m line would provide en outlet for a rich region in which many Montanans ore financially concerned. Should tho opposition to Davie's govern- ment surreed in securing its defeot, the Nakusp & Slooan line would bo doomed for some years to come at least. Hut in- asmuch as Davie himself sought this in- vestigation and asked for IBS appoint- ment of tliu royal commission, the proba- bilities are he will pass through the in- vestigation ull safe enough. I lie dispatches from London on Satur- day html that the "Samoati controversy has tailed to stir up any public interest in Kngland." Of course it has; Britain lias discovered that her plans for a protector- ate over Samoa are fruitless; she has lieen served with very emphatic notice that the .Now Zealand scheme will not be accepted by any of tho powers interested; her hones of supremacy in l'ago-I'ago and Apia huvo vatiishod—naturally she baa lost much of her former interest in the situation. Lord Kosoliery has served notice upon his followers in the imperial parliament that tho liberal programme ns outlined in M> acceptance of tho premiership is kUt» ject lo radical change. Ho has forewarned thorn that his course in the future is to be vastly tbireri-nt to that pursued by Mr. Gladstone during the last few years of his ottieial hie. In his speocli lieforo tho Lib- eral club last Tuestla), Kosebery made a bold and vigorous bid tor the support of tho renegade liberal unionists. Ho gave them very distinct assurances that the policy of his government was "to main- tain tho unity of the empire abroad and tho unity-in tho best seiiso of the word--of the three kingdoms at home." I t w a a a pretty plain way of putting it that so long as ho, a peer, remained premier there would be small reason to fear tho carrying out of any scheme of home rule for Ireland. This announcement is quite in accord with Kosebery's political predi- lections ; it is true it is not in harmony with his utterances upon assuming tho otllce made vacant by his distingnishod prede- cessor but it agrees with the position that the well-informed in all parts o f t h e world o \poctod him to take. Pregnant with the prcjudiccs of his pampered class it was not liobcved that he could bring himself to look w ith favor upon any measure look- ing to u reduction of tho privileges of his fellow lords. Of course his speech oti Tuesday has, in n large measure, aliemated the support of the Irish parly : it w ill not bo surprising if il costs the I I. ei. i' parly its present power. All factions of the Irish pnrty in parliament are agreed thai thoro is liltlo lo expect from a government with Kose- liery tit its bond. Again the folly of »up- Iwrung a hereditary lord in the premier- ship has been made obvious to the homo rulers; again tho w isdom o f t h o lamented I'arned's parliamentary tactics is forcibly demonstrated. Thirty independent Irish members in tho imricrutl parliament, realty to line u p o n a moment's notice witli tho occupants o f t h e treasury benches or to cast their solid strength with tiio opposition on e vil, is a situation more to be desired by Ireland than under the present conditions, when the whole contingent of Irish nationalist mcmlicrs comprise the despisod and prac- tically iiiipotont nppentlago o f a British party. Jiosobery's announced policy now is to "settle the Irish question without the aid of the Irish people." Itosebery's pred- ecessors tint ing more than seven hundred years pursued the same policy ; his- tory does not record the successful coin illation of their eiforts. Willi regard lo the talk about Lnglatid's establishing a protectorate over Samoa, the Army (in<l .Very llnjuler said editorially last Monday: "Whatever ia done in the premises, it should be carefully boruo in mind that the I'nited States has a coaling station in Pago Pago harbor, anil no steps should lie tukeu vv Inch might result in the loss of this treaty grant. As pointed out bv Sen- ator Morgan in his report on Hie Nicara- guan canal, this station will be of vast importance to tho I'uitod States in the event of the canal being constructed. The existing relations may lie attended w i t h objections, but theipiostion arises w bother it is not Is'lter, under the circumstances, for the country to lio found acting in con- cert with (icruiaiiy and to --.it Uritaiu in Samoa than it would bo for us lo vv ith- tlraw from the Berlin compact and per- mii the control of affairs in the islands to BOOM w holly under ticruian or English domination, -lust as suroly as tho I'nited States withdraws from tho present agree- ment, either Germany or Kngland will establish a protectorate over, if it does not annex, Samoa. Tho result would lie the loss to this country of the naval sta- tion at Pago I'ago." THE BHAIN AND THK MEMORY. It Is Assumed Thai Every Thought Is a •epavasa Lafaget in the Hraiu.

A calculation has boon made regarding the number of these brain cells. It is as- sumed that every thought or |H-rceptioii is a s- par.ite lodger in the mind, reipnring an apartment of tho brain to itself; anil the cells are the apartmeu's.

This is a sheet of cellular nerve subeianoo, which ia crumpled into convolutions through being confined within the narrow limns of the skull. I f it were spread out fiat it would be found equal to a layer one inch in thickness and la inches long by 11 inches broad —or slightly more—giv- ing a total of 134 cubio inches. If all the cells were ono-three-hundredth of an inch in diameter thoro would be room for '-7,(JOO,000 of thorn in one cubic inch, und therefore for 3,«il8,000,000 i n t h o wholo, but aince many of the cells are smaller, tho total number must be greater.

More Cheering Testimony. Trustworthy testimony to the effect

that the cause of free coinage (rains ground is accumulating. Mr. YV. A. I'lark, who has recently returned from llurope, said in an interview which the Jluttr Mini r printed yesterday morn­ing: T h e f t is » growing sentiment all over Kuropo in favor of bimetal­lism. I talked w ith a number of lead­ing manufacturers of Kngland, among them Mr. Mattheison, the well-known Mppfsf manufacturer, and they all agreed that a return to a bimetallic standard is a mere matter of time. They lind that it h> impossible to con­duct the business of nations on a sin­gle gold basis. On the silver question the signs are very encouraging."

Mr. Clark is a frequent visitor to Kurope and the continent, and his ac­quaintance abroad with men in busi­ness life gives value to his testimony respecting foreign opinion on the sil­ver question. All that is transpiring in Kurope may properly be accepted in corlirmation of the opinion that the nations are soon to return to a finan­cial system which will provide full function for silver.

On this question a letter lately writ­ten to a friend by Senator liubois and limited in the Silt Laltat Ti ihiim is suggestive. The senator says:

The sliver situation Is s peculiar one here. Sentiment l« chaimlni; very f ist. It In dawning <m the minds of Eastern rieoplc that the rlnati-r ta l system Is rcspousllile for the present In­dustrial condition of tiio country The at t i tude el l.(Hlt;e of Massachusetts shows the eliaDjte thai is ipilns; on. H ie | iolllleiaiis also recognize that if one of the . n- ! parlies eomes o u t bipiarely for free coinage pledges a n d t he o i l ier great parly straddles on the ipiestion, the free coinage pa r i \ u i l l swiwp the eoimtry. In my judgment, the trend of events- In Eurorie and this reunif y makes the outlook for silver more hopeful than II has la-en since ls;a. Whl ln this is tin-n-ai c i i i dUlon , evt-rylhlug Is In more or less ot » i haultc -tale.

While this Is not very satisfactory, for the present we lielieva that haste wi l l he made nulcker lu this way.

The populists of Montana propose to take the lie-Id early. They have issued tln-ir call for a state convention which will be held in the city of Deer Lodge on Monday, June - \ Populist county committees are requested to hold county conventions June K, for the election of delegates to the state convention. Pursuant to the request of the state committee, the S T A N K A U I V

prints the call for the state convention. A good deal (a! talk, apparently of an unauthorized sort, is in circulation ro-K p e c t i n g political fusions. On that score the llutte BptUutder Mid last Saturday that it is opposed to fusion in the belief thai the populists have nothing to gain by it.

May and the Stars. Alter quite a period of depression

and Inactivity, superstition is fast picking up again. The statement is made in all seriousness and upon what is said to lu e x c e l l e n t authority that the date for the Iteale-lilaine wedding was fixed for last Monday, April in deference to the bride, "who wished to avoid the traditional ill luck that is supposed t o attend weddings that take place in May." Modem superstition seems to be taking this form, regard for particular times and seasons; a fact traceable, probably, to t i n - monthly announcements of certain London as­trologers, who seem to be the develop­ment and otitgrowlh of the weather prophets. Astrology has revised every­where, its professors abound in all the larger cities and are catching most of the trade that has heretofore gone to the spirit mediums. Perhaps theos-optiy, more or less directly, has had u g o o d deal to do with the boom in as­trology and the contemporaneous de­cline In spiritualism.

It may be of interest to know that the stars are looking down on the I'nited states with compassion,and are arranging a series of pleasant surprises for us. The month of May, we are as­sured, is going to pull America out of the hole in great style. Agriculture will thrive, business will be brisk, trade will increase all along the line, strikes will be amicably settled and

prosperity in large measures restored, nut this good fortune, mind you. is for the western hemisphere only. In Kurope things are going to be rather worse than ever. Trade will languish in Kngland particularly, and toward the close of the month strikes will in­crease and multiply. A gloomier pic­ture could hardly lie drawn than Kn-gland's forecast for the month of May: "Saturn speaks 111 for finance, and taxation is likely to increase; there will also lie a falling off in the revenue returns; failures will occur, and the condition of trade and money gener­ally will be very unsatisfactory. In traveling some serious disasters will occur, and fraud and theft will be more than usually prevalent in the postolllce. Schools and places of amusement will suffer; much sickness may be expected during the early part of the mouth, and some very sudden deaths. The accidental position of Venus denotes many marriages, chielly of people in high life, or perhaps roy­alty."

The present month, moreover, will have a strong tendency to be highly disastrous to all persons born on or about April i>, May 3, May Hi, or Octo-lier l i Such persons are cautioiii'd to be extremely carettil in all their acts during May, and on no account to he-gin any important undertaking, get married or go on a long journey before tht) spell is over. OM cannot be too conservative when thoro is a conihiiia-of the whole universe against him.

The Illinois supremo court has handed down a decision declaring tin-ticket scalers' act of that state con­stitutional. In one or two other states the court of last resort has decided just the other way. The last legisla­ture of M o n t , m a passetl a similar act, the constitutionality of which, we be­lieve, has not yet been tested. -All these acts, it Is understood, are prac­tically the same, the text of the bills having lieen prepared by the railroad companies "In concerted action. With such a law in force in ono stato and not in the next, more or less confusion will follow both to the traveling public and the railroads themselves.

The height of the Coxey movement seems to have been reached Saturday when seven enthusiastic cnmmouweal-ers startetl from II irrodsburg, Ky., bound for Washington in a balloon. They took along a lot of compasses anil maps, together with six days' pro­visions and everything to make them comfortable, and it they do'not have a high old time of it moving on W ash­ington it will not be their fault, but that of the balloon. If they can steer it with sufficient precision, they should make it a point to light right on lop of the dome of the capitol, which would serve as an admirable ros'.rnin for the orators of UH party, lialloons have been utilized in war and their serviceability to the army of peaco readily suggests itself.

The sheriff of Allegheny county. Pa., is in a dilemma, l i e has got to hang a man named Hill, who killed a Mrs. Ilot/.ler last fall, (in the night of the murder Hill was found lying I K S,do the dead woman, with his throat cut from ear to ear. With the aid of a silver tube w hich was piaced perma­nently in l t i B neck, Hill recovered. The position of the wound in Hill's neck is such that if a rope around his neck is drawn taut it w ill slip above the wound, and he could continue to breathe through the opening below the rope. If, in order to carry out the sentence of the court, the sheriff p r e ­sumes to take out the tube or to stop it up, he will kill Hill in a manner not a l i o wed by law, and will himself be liable to the charge of murder, lb-has got to break Hill's neck, but t h e art of hanging has not yet been brought to the point where dislocation of tne vertebrae is rendered absolutely cer­tain. The tribe of Hills is a hard one to down anyway.

Rex Flour give bloom to the cheeks. It cures that tired

feeling, helps nervousness and derives all its good quail,

ties from the selected Hard Spring Wheat from which it ia

made. Ask any grocer for it no matter where you live.

REX FLOUR Is bound to be a household word on account of its health

giving qualities.
