Bishop Abram Grant who is the presiding Bishop of this district of the A. M. E. church, which district comprises the entire Northwest and California. The bishop is one of our really great men and his presence is an honor to any community. Rev Jordan Allen announces that the Bishop will be here on August the 22nd for several days, and his sojourn should be an epoch making event in so far as our people are people. We have the honor of a personal acquaintance with our distinguished and able prelate and we can assure our readers that his coming will berought with great moment and much good for the uplift of our people. Till'mn Moths Prevaileth Not. In Helena at least, it has been demonstrated that there are those who believe in the principles of our strenuous chief executive, "a square deal for all," and the efforts of Lissner and the Independent to prejudice a community, on personal antagonism, self-aggradization and race hatred, is of no avail; justice has stepped in and in stentorian tones has said give every man a chance. As far as Graye and Gordon or the Zanzibar are concerned, personally we do not consider or care, but in our advocacy for a square deal for all, we believe that we present a principle which is so broad and generous that no one will suffer an injustice by it's application. The council has acted wisely in reconsideting the vote by which the licence of Graye and Gordon was summarily revoked, for had it not, the effect would be far reaching; they would have set a dangerous precedent. The question will now come before the police committee on it's merits and if the contentions of the people who have cited such notorious violations of the law by the proprietors of the Zanzibar can be proven, the license of the Zanzibar will be withheld as it should be. On the other hand if the charges are not sustained these people should be given the same opportunities as others in the same line of business. The Independent we fear has a very bad case of colorphobia. The editorial writer who exhausts Websters unabridged dictionary for high sounding adjectives—aside from his constant flings at a race which has made such phenomenal progress in only forty years—says that the pdople of Helena were ad- verse to attending ball games on account of the color of one of the teams, and that they now go out and attend freely because there is a white team at Fort Harrison. We advise this would-be moulder of public sentiment to put his ears to grass roots and hear the opinion of the people when the conkuct of the white men now at Fort Harrison and their predecessors are compared. Lissner the great advocate [?] of morals should move that his own license from what we can learn. He an exalted member of the council, at least, in his own estimation conducts a place which is a rendezvous for immoral women and brawls are of frequent occurrence. We have seen with our own eyes little children coming out of his side door with buckets, the contents of which could be easily guessed. The Independent who went to dreamland in it's estacy of joy over the revoking of a license to Graye and Gordon, have now probably awaken from it's dream and are experiencing the excruciating pains of grief. The Colorado Statesman is out in a bran new "heed dress" which is very becoming indeed and shows that the managers of that paper are wide-awake and hustling all the time. = What will the American white man think of this? An American lieutenant of the regular army has married a Fillipino, which race the whites claim is part Negro. It seems very hard for the Negro to keep the white man from mixing. Our American brother had better go to the Phillipine Islands and look after their brothers there, or else amalgamation will reign supreme there at least,—Topeka Plain-dealer. POLITCAL SNAPSHOTS Judge Cheadle of Lewistown is looming up on the political horizon as a formidable aspirant for judicial honors and we doubt will be a strong factor in the coming state convention for associate justice. At least a majority of the members of the city council believe in the Roosevelt idea to give all a square deal. Look at Lissner! See his tactics; and you have a fair conception of Ben Tillman who gained notoriously foa his oppositio to a pergecuted race. Officea Wm. Irvin in general demeanor, courtesy and all that goes pith the duties of a public officer can easily give his superiors on the force valuable lessons in that important perquisite of any well regulated police force. Former City Treasurer Kirkendall is now a politician without a job, but he was one of the most corteous and painstaking officirls the city ever had and will alwas remain a prime favorite in the hearts of the people. If 70 per cent of the crimes in Lewis and Crake county was committed in one place, what a snap for the police, sheriff, etc. To save mileage, post one man near this place, discharge all the others, keep only enough to catch the 30 per cent and LaCroix assisted by the Vardaman sentiment of the Independent could easily convict. But oh! The Remey, King, Mentzel and other cases; well, but the cost in these were only a bagatele. Helena, Montana, Friday, June 20, 1906. Spirit of the Negro Press. The apparent similarity between Roosevelt and Bryan, in their high moral courage and plainness of utterance, have made both prime favorites with the masses, regardless of party lines. Their ideas have won the approval of the thinkers of the age, and having been weighed in the balance and not been found wanting, they are therefore, sound. Radicalism has moved so far away from the old landmarks that one is obliged to go all the way to the Hearst camp to find its outposts. The picket lines are labeled with red signal lights—and the nation scents danger. The democrats of the Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden stripe now turn beseechingly to Bryan as a welcome relief from the vagaries of "Hearstism," and if the national democratic convention were held at this hour, William Jennings Bryan would be nominated by acclimation, and the lion and the lamb of '96 would lie down in an atmosphere of harmony that no seer would have ever dreamed of during that stormy epoch. On the other hand, so typical of the popular spirit is Theodore Roosevelt, it is almost a certainty that if the republican national convention were called together today, with Bryan tide rising, no earthly power could keep the gathering from forcing a THE KITCHEN THE KITCHEN IS THE PLACE Where Comfort Begins in the The Chief of All the Articles in Use is the Stove.

The country believes Mr. Roosevelt to be sincere in his refusal to be further considered in connection with another term in the White House, but political exigencies have changed the minds of men as strong in their mental make-up as he, and it is not without the range of possibilities that the situation may be such that the gallant "Rough Rider" can not decline to run. What conditions we may be called upon to face two years hence, it were in vain to prophesy, but that there are some stirring times in store for us all in the year of grace 1908, is a safe proposition to tie to. A prominent Indiana republican, whose name is a synonym for political sagacity, said to us not long ago, with the air of oracle and the mien of a sage: "Mark ye, and mark ye well! I am neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet; but it is my humble opinion, looking the thing up one side and down the other, that Theodore Roosevelt is the only republican in this country who can prevent the election of William Jennings Bryan as President of the United States in 1908." We hazard no guccs at this critical stage of the national game with the bases full and nobody out, and Roosevelt himself at bat. The gentle reader is at liberty to take the opinion of the oracular Hoosier statesman for just what it is worth in the open market.—Thompson in The Freeman. Perhaps one of the most striking political incidents of the century is the return after a quiescence of nearly six years of William Jennings Bryan into the political arena. Notwithstanding the fact that he has stood aloof from party matters and devoted himself to his newspaper and to travel, he is now the political cynosure of the Democrats, toward whom they now hopefully look for such gallant and wise leadership as will most likely insure political ascendency. There is something remarkable in this. Whatever Republicans may think of Democrats, however much they may be chargeable with bad judgement and blunderings, yet there is some thing strange and even politically ominous in the tenacity displayed in their attachment to Mr. Bryan. And the strangest of it all is, that Mr. Bryan seems not to be his own promoter or to have had any particular "boomers" as has been the case when a defeated candidate seeks a second nomination at the IS THE PLACE Money, You can Save the Same Time to Your Comfort With Gas. Railway Company. hands of his party. Here is a man who has been nominated twice, and defeated twice. And in spite of this Bryan has so strong a hold upon his party that now he looms up as the only acceptable candidate of the Democratic party. To be sure, others have been thought of, such as Gorman, Bailey, Hill and others. But they have now been swallowed up in the overwhelming demand for Bryan. What is the cause of this new rally? Why is a twice-defeated man again sought as the standard-bearer for the Democrats? Is it to court defeat? Is he selected as one to fill the breech in order that the Republicans may have what seems to be inevitable victory? We think not. Surely it cannot be government ownership of public utilities, for in thirt case Hearst would undoubtedly be the Moses. It is because Mr. Bryan has shown absolutely sincerity in his expressions and his dealings. He has called a spade a spade and a man a man. Not only so, but he has staked his reputation and political prospect upon his sincerity. And he failed twice, yet he has not com promised one whit his real con- --- Household. = SANDS BROTHERS GO Helena's Most Reliable Dry Goods House We are the oldest DRY GOODS HOUSE in the City?

We are not so much concerned about his political theories. They may or may not much concern us. But we do admire his consistent sincerity and his unwavering devotion to his principles. We cannot fail to recall how, upon every occasion, regardless of the section in which he happened to be, he quoted the words of the immortal Lincoln and at all times and under all circumstances announced and expressed his belief in the brotherhood of man. of the proposes these men their hearing or trial promptly receiving to recourse it to the for a full hearing.

He did not merely talk about a "square deal," but he meant it, and would doubtless have dealt it, had he been elected president. We are not talking Democracy. Indeed we would have a variable man in the White House, and a Republican at that. But we cannot forbear contrasting the sincerity of men as we find them, nor of admiring those qualities of mind and heart which will attract and hold millions by the power of eloquence, the virtue of constancy and sincerity. If we are not much mistaken, Bryan's creed is "a man's a man for a' that." And just here is where the colored man may come in for his share.—Bee. Believe in Square Deal. The following members of the city council have gone on record as believing in giving every man a square deal. The matter came up on the question of a reconsideration of the vote by which the license of Graye and Gordon were revoked.

Our people do not give Llyod's Tonsorial and Shining Parlors more liberal patronage. Mr. A. Smith does not take more interest in his mining schemes and worry less about what is to become of the PLAINDEALER. The young people of Helena do not organize an up-to-date literary society. Some enterprising colored man or woman does not open up a first-class restaurant on Main Street. Why so many of our people presist in buying their drugs of Myers' drug store when he is running an ice cream parlor where he absolute-refuses to serve them. The young men of Helena do not get together and organize a brass band. To meet courteous and obliging heads of police departments one is compelled to go outside of Helena.

It is the emperor's rule never to invite women on board his vessels unless the empress or one of the imperial prin- cesses Is present. Empress Augusta Victoria, it is un- derstood, desires to remain near the crown princess and Princess Henry of Prussia, and is taking a holiday in Ba- varia, and Princess Eitel Frederick, who also is a bride, had arranged to go on a cruise in the Hamburg with the imperial yacht after the regatta, but upon receiving the emperor's tele- gram, she came from Potsdam imme- diately, arriving with Prince Eitel, and Mr. and Mrs. Longworth were invited 10 dine with the emperor. It was quite an American evening. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Longworth, Alli- on Howard and George Armour and Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Mott were pres- mt.

It fs announced at the white house that President Roosevelt will make a trip to the isthmus of Panama next fall. He will leave some time in Oc- tober and will be absent about three weeks. On account of this trip the president has been obliged to cancel his visit to San Francisco to be present at the lay- ing of the cornerstone of the new fed- eral building of that city. In connection with this the president said he would be unable to make his contemplated trip to the middle west this summer. Secretary Root will make three stops in Brazil before going to Rio Janeiro to attend the pan-American conference there, July 21. ‘These will include Para, about July 15; Pernam- buco, July 19, and Bahia, July 21. He expects to reach Rio Janeiro July 25. At each of these three ports added to his itinerary special honors will be shown him, From Brazil, Mr. Root will visit Uruguay and Argentina. He will then start for the long trip around the southern end of South America, pre- paratory to making brief stops in Chile, Ecuador and Peru. He will probably visit at Cartegena, Colombia, after crossing the isthmus of Panama. 1S NOW KING Norway Now Has a Full Fledged King and Queen. Throndhjem.—With a noble cere mony, King Haakon’ VII. and Queen Maud (formerly Prince Charles and Princess Maud of Denmark) last Pri day were invested with the crowns of Norway. The time, the circumstances and memories gave the occasion a peculiar solemnity that produced an impressive monotone throughout the proceedings. ‘The Norwegian-American delegates to the coronation of King Haakon held & meeting Saturday in the garden of the old archbishop’s palace, under the shadow of the cathedral; and invited William J. Bryan to address them. When Mr. Bryan appeared he was presented with American and Nor- wegian flags and the crowd cheered him. Mr. Bryan said that, judging Nor way by her sons who came to America, he wanted to offer her his congratula- ‘ions. He declared that Norway had ichieved high civilization without los- ng any of her early strength, a thing iations rarely achieved. He hoped he country’s Prosperity would be as ong as her days were now.

The postmaster reports that on May 24 the records of the canceling ma- chines at the San Francisco postoffice showed collection of mail within 60, 000 letters of the heaviest collection on record in the office, while the stamp sales were within $300 of normal. ‘The postmaster says, however, that the mails of second class matter were but 4 little over 20 per cent of the amount before the earthquake, He adds that there has been no falling of in the amount of registered mail received. There were 2240 employes of the postoffice, whose homes were burned out in the fire, many of the men being left destitute, but so far as known only one employe, a carrier, lost his life, while one other is missing.

The sensational charge made by Rep- resentative Hull on the floor of the honso at Washington to the effect that thousands of barrels of whiskey, gins, bradies and cordials consumed in New York every year were made from chem ioals was thoroughly corroborated re- cently through investigations made by World reporters. It developes that barrels of whisky which retail by the drink in first class cafes for more than $300 can be manu- factured for less than $20 and that strong essences are potent factors in the making of a great percentage of all bar products, “After these chemi- cal liquors have stood for three hours they are ready for market.

Mr. White died before an ambulance could be summoned, and Thaw was arrested immediately after the shooting. The garden was crowded with a fashionable audience. Instantly after the shot the great audience was thrown into a panic and a wild stampede occurred,during which chairs and tables were overturned and men and women fought with despera- tion to escape from the roof. ‘he first intimation of trouble came when, walk ing in front of his seated victim, the man exclaimed: ‘You've deserved this. You've rained my home,” and drawing an automatic pistol fired three shots. The first two took effect, but as the third was discharged the pistol = struck up by a fireman on duty in the theater and the bullet went skyward. ‘The woman who had been sitting with Mr. White sprang to her feet and rash- ed up to his assailant, who was strag- ginig with the fireman, threw her arms about his neck, exclaiming: “I'll stand by you.” Fireman Burden took the revolver away from Thaw and hand him over to the police. Thaw handed the policemen $10 and asked him to notify Andrew Carnegie, that he was in trouble. Thaw, it is alleged, said to the fireman, ‘He deserves what he yot. He rained my life and deserted the girl.” While Thaw was being held by the policeman the young woman, who is described as short, slen der, dark and very pretty, again put her arms about his neck. ‘Thaw told her to keep quiet and not get excited, as all would come out all right. ‘Thaw had been present during the|, mntire performance.

Oue American amateur record broken, one world’s record (profes: sional or amateur) equalled and six high water marks of the past meets of the Pacific Northwest Amateur Athletic Association wiped out—that is, in brief, the result of the annual track and field meet of the P. N. W. A. A. at Spokane. Perfect weather conditions and a firm, fast track aided the 50 odd athletes, representing the three larg- est athletic clubs of the Northwest, the Multnomah Club of Portland, the Se- attle and Spokane Clubs, in bringing out the best athletic ability there was in them. In the history of the P. N. W. A. A. the meet of 1906 at Spokane will probably be unsurpassed in the point of the remarkable slashing of records. i Summary of Events. 100 yard dash—Kelly, Multnomah, first; Cary, Spokane, second; Smith, Seattle, third.

The town sites are all platted with wide streets and boulevards, with parks and extensive areas reserved for public buildings. The lots are to be disposed of to the highest bidders for cash. They look sufficiently desolate and forlorn now; but with the opening of the canal headgates, they will bloom forth luxuriously.

Heaven is not far from him who smiles in cloudy weather. tite, overcoming that tired, run-down feeling, and other ailments common to Spring, which warn us that it is necessary to take a tonic, it is purifying the blood of all poisons and waste matters so that it can supply to the system the strength and nourishment it needs to keep it in perfect condition during the depressing summer months that are to follow. Spring is the season when most every one needs a tonic. It is nature's time for renewing and changing; and as everything puts on new life, the sap rises in vegetation, the earth thaws out from its winter freezes, and all respond to Spring's call to purge and purify themselves, there is a great change also takes place in our bodies. The blood endeavors to throw off the poisons and accumulations which have formed in the system, and been absorbed by it, from the inactive winter life, and calls upon every member to assist in the elimination. The system is often unequal to the struggle, the appetite grows fickle, the energies give way, the spirits are depressed, and a general rundown condition is the result. Then the body must have assistance it must be strengthened and aided by a tonic, and S. S. S. is the ideal one. Being made entirely from roots, herbs and bark, it does not disagreeably affect the system in any way as do most of the so-called tonics on the market, which contain Potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient to derange the stomach and digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels, or otherwise damage the health. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion and assists in the assimilation of food; it rids the system of that always-tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and tone to every part of the body. It reestablishes the healthy circulation of the blood, stimulates the sluggish organs, and calms the unstrung nerves which make one feel that he is on the verge of prostration. S. S. S gives an appetite and relish for food that nothing else does, and by its use we can find ourselves with as hearty, hungry an appetite in Spring as at any other season. It acts more promptly and gives better and more lasting results than any other remedy, and is absolutely safe because of its vegetable purity. Dyspeptic, irritable, nervous, debilitated people will find S. S. S. is just the medicine that is needed for the purification of the blood, which, from its diseased or impure condition, is causing their trouble, as well as for toning up and helping the ent stem. When you take your tonic this Spring do not experiment, but get the best—the to with forty years of success behind it, and the one endorsed by the best people all over the country—S. S. S., THE GREATEST OF ALL TONICS. It is necessary at this time, when the system is depleted and weakened at every point, that the right remedy be used—one that is especially adapted to the condition, and S. S. S. has proved itself to be this remedy for many years. If it is taken at the first sign of Spring the system will be so built up and strengthened that the disagreeable affections of the season will not be felt as warmer weather comes on. A Case of STOMACH CATARRH. MARY OBRIEN Miss Mary O'Brien, 303 Myr le Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., write: "Peruna cured me in five weeks of catarrh of the stomach, after suffering for four years and doctoring without effect. In common with other grateful ones who have been b ne tied by your discovery I say, All hail to Peruna." Mr. H. J. Henneman, Oakland, Neb., writes: "I waited before writing to you about my sickness, ca'arrh of the stomach, which I had over a year ago. "There were people who told me it would not stay cured, but I am sure that I am cured, for I do not feel any more ill effects, have a good appetite and am getting fat. "So I am, and will say to all, I am cured for good. "I thank you for your kindness." I thank you for your kindness. "Peruna will be our house medicine hereafter." Catarrh of the stomach is also known in common parlance as dyspepsia, gastritis and indigestion. No medicine will be of any permanent benefit except it removes the catarrh. A Great Tonic. Mr. Austin M. Small, Astoria, Ore., writes: "During the hot weather of the past summer I lost my appetite. I tried Peruna, and found it pleasant to take, a splendid appetizer and a great tonic."

The new jobbing house just dedicated will enable hurry orders for Douglas shoes to be shipped the same day they are received. The new building is 260 feet long, 60 feet wide and two stories high. The jobbing department occupies the entire lower floor and the new offices of the Douglas Shoe company occupy the entire second floor. In the new building there will be special offices occupied by the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies; also by the Telephone companies and there is an elaborate mailing department. The completion of this new administration building marks the establishment of a modern, up-to-date wholesale jobbing house and office building. Mr. Douglas has long considered the advisability of a jobbing house, not only for the purpose of supplying his own retail stores more readily, but that the 11,000 dealers throughout the United States handling the W.

The new building is said to be the most complete and convenient of any ever built for a commercial house in the United States, so were the expressions of appreciation by the many persons who visited it for inspection, sincere and of a highly congratulatory nature.

The following are extracts from the very able address delivered by County Superintendent, Miss M. V. Smith, to the 8th grade graduating class: "You have laid a good foundation for the superstructure which you are about to build. You belong to a class that in a few years will be at the head of affairs in politics, religion and commerce, not only in your own town but in the state and nation. And I would that tonight you might pause as it were, and take one good look into the future and ask—which place am I to fill? And as you look and behold the teacher's desk, the preacher's pulpit, the statesman's chair, the mechanic's shop, the merchant's office and the many other places to be occupied, I would have you ask—what must I do to be ready to fill one of those places? And the answer must be—make preparation by continuing in the work in which you have been engaged for the past few years. "You are endowed with God given powers and these must be developed if you become the men and women that you ought to be. If they are not developed you will lose even that which you have. 'For he that hath to him shall be given and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath,' The right kind of education will develop the powers of the mind and soul so that you will be able to think and do your best. 'What sunlight is to the eye, education is to the intellect.' "In closing I would congratulate you on the good record you have made and say that we will expet great things of you in the future. The day is coming—yea, is now at hand—when the youth of Lewis and Clark will fill many of the places of honor and responsibility. And who can do it better? We believe In you. We believe in building up our teaching force from your ranks; in giving you places of trust as you are fitted for them. We believe in home talents, home products and home industries.

SOME ADVICE,—AND A STORY There is a somewhat ancient lesson contained in the following from the New York World, but it is so excellent that the story is produced here: "Don't advertise if you believe you are wasting money. Let your competitor waste his money on advertising, and perhaps in this way you'll soon put him out of business. Just stand back and laugh at him when you see him squandering his money for printers' ink. Once there was a boy named,—we think his last name was Wanamaker, or maybe Moneymaker; anyhow, his name was John, with some sort of a maker attached yards of calico, three pairs of jeans, and a half dozen pairs of boots. He called this a dry goods store through a Philadelphia newspaper, and offered to sell a pair of socks for 89 cents. The don't-belleve-in-advertising just laughed. Young John spent vertise just one time, and not less than $100 worth of goods. He was cautioned by the merchants who 'knew it didn't pay.' It was through sympathy that they offered him advice.
