Jftecent improvements in Miles City have brought to public notice the history of one of the most remarkable buildings in Montana. It is on one of the principal business streets of the place and is known as the Steamboat Block. It is well named, as it is constructed of wood from one of the steamers that used tcply the Yellowstone river. The steamer was called the Yellowstone also, after the river it was navigating. It was something \ like thirty years when the steamer Yellowstonemade its last trip up as far as 5 Miles City. It struck on the rocks at the rapids just below the town. Nothing could be done to get "her off and she was ^ ** ?/%? ? of Con abandoned, ijeorge mucs, a ouu v/i mvu. * Miles, bought the vessel as she lay a ? wreck. Prom large sections of the hull was built the house which has just been exposed by the march of improvement. It is two stories in height, the upper floor being just like the cabin of the steamer had - been. Miles utilized the staterooms where the passengers were wont to sleep > to make bunks for travelers or steady roomers in the upper part of his remarkv able building. The lower floor has been used for store purposes. Miles still owns the building, and it is a source of revenue. It promises to outlast some of the more modern structures in j Miles City, such is the enduring quality of f V the stuff of which it is built.?Anaconda v- Standard. ^*1 The Delineator for July. ?A magazine that is filled with seasonable interest for women is the July Delineator.

Cow Adopts a Fawn. During a heavy rainstorm Wednesday one of Mrs. Lawson's cows came home * , without her calf, only two days old. Yesterday the mother cow was grazing when f there appeared a beautiful little fawn, xf chased by three hounds.

In the struggle for the possession of the fawn beweea the dogs and ; - cow two of the dogs were killed,while the third was so badly wounded it left the field of battle. The cow brought the fawn to the stable yard, and now tenderly cares for it, nursing it as if it were its real mother.

The late Baron de Hirsch, the Jewish financier, was dining at a German nobleman's house in company with a certain prince, who made no secret of his venomous antipathy to the Jews. Courtesy! \-,i - proved no barrier to the outflow of his spleen. Remarking upon a tour he had made in Turkey, he said he had been favorably impressed with two of its customs: "All Jews and dogs that are caught are immediately killed." The baron, with smiling sangfroid, immediately relieved the scandalized consternation of the other guests with a bland rejoinder: "How fortunate you and I don't live f there." "The evidence," said the judge, "shows that you threw the stone at this man." "Sure," replied Mrs. O'Hoolihan. "An' the looks of the man shows more than that, yer honor.

In a general shooting affray which took place at Ellenton, Aiken county, last Monday, a white man named McLean was killed, his son seriously wounded, one negro killed and several wounded. McLean and his son went to a negro's house on their plantation and ordered him to fetum to a negro woman a child which she claimed the negro had stolen from her. A number of negroes in the house attacked the white men and several shots were fired with the above result. Jim Long, a negro, was shot and almost instantly killed in Columbia last Monday by State constable Julius R. Eison. The negro was attempting to escape from the police, and a policeman had fired at him once or twice merely to notify the officer on the next beat to stop the negro. The constable saw the negro coming and attempted to stop him and as Long attempted to run past him, he struck at him with his pistol which was discharged and killed the negro. Eison said he did not mean to shoot the j negro, and only struck at him to stop j him. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that it was an accident. They Married. A young man was plowing in a field; the day was hot and he had taken off his shoes. He saw a fashionable young lady approaching and said to himself, "I am not going to try to hide my bare feet; if she thinks any the less of me because my feet are bare then she is not as sensible as I think her." But the young lady stopped and talked to him inspiringly and never looked at his feet.

Not far below Augusta, Ga., the Savannah river is crossed by an antiquated flatboat, hanging by a cable from a post far up stream and impelled from bank to bank by the action of the current. This is the Sandbar ferry, and from time immemoral, until the abolition of duelling, the banks of the river on both sides were bloody fields of so-called honor. Gentlemen of South Carolina, having quarrelled, crossed in the rickety flat-boat with their seconds and fought their battles on Georgia soil, and Georgians went over to the Palmetto State for their shootings or sword play. Thither, one day, went a solemn procession of principals, seconds and witnesses, most of them representatives of the Georgia bar. They were more solemn than usual, for the fight they were to witness was to wipe out the most terrible of insults. Two well known lawers of Rome, who had been life-long friends, had fallen out and one of them, in the height of a dispute, had reviled the other with all the terrible words he could lay tongue to. There had been a score of men present to hear and to prevent an immediate shooting, and now the two devoted friends, turned enemies, rode with a party toward the fatal ground were they were to make target practice on each other. Each of them was downcast and gloomy, for at heart they were devoted. But the insult was deadly, and there seemed no escape with honor from the encounter. When they arrived at the ferry, however, the flatboat was on the other side. ' J Vinrn frnm thp A. secuuu pictvcu up ?.uu uuiu post and blew it lustily. Over and over he sounded it, until from a distant field the aged ferryman came sauntering leisurely down to his craft. The too lawyers sat side by side on their horses and watched his slow progress. The strain grew momentarily heavier and the men gloomier. At last one of them?the insulted?could stand it no longer. "Jim," he said impulsively, "befo' we go out of Georgia, I want you to answer me one question. How did you ever come to apply all those epithets to me?" "Charley," said Jim solemnly, "I did it j in my professional capacity." The face of the man who had been insulted lighted up with a smile of great relief, and he held out his hand. "I knew it! I knew it!" he cried. "Shake on it! Who ever heard of holding a lawyer responsible for what he said in his professional capacity? It would be madness, sub, madness!" They shook hands fervently and the duel was declared off.:?Youth's Companion.

Many of the citizens about Mingo saw it and most of them took to shelter. "Over in the field in the direct path of the whirling mass were a mare and colt feeding. Suddenly the whirlwind was upon them. Well, sir, that animal and her colt were lifted up just like an ordinary wind would lift a piece of paper and carried straight up to a considerable height and let down again as gently like as though they were being lowered in an elevator.

He brought suit aga^ist the city for $1,000 ana engageu nauiim iui tuuuscu Hamlin won his case, but the city appealed to the Supreme Court. Here, also, the decision was for Hamlin's client. After settling up the claim, Hamlin sent for his client and handed him $1. "What's this?" asked the Englishman. "That's your damages, after taking out my fee, the cost of appeal, and several other expenses," said Hamlin. The Englishman looked at the dollar, and then at Hamlin.

Miss Estelle Reed, the general superintendent of the government's Indian schools, was talking about cruelty, says ; the Buffalo Enquirer. "Cruelty," she said, "is lack of imagin- ation. It isn't true that only savages are { cruel. All people without developed minds?minds capable of sympathy?are 1 cruel. Children, until they have learned 1 to think, are cruel invariably." 1 Miss Reed smiled. "Let me tell you about a little boy," she said. "To this little boy there were given two images of plaster, coated on the out side with pink sugar. He wanted to eat the images, but he was warned on no account to do so. "'They are poison,' he was told. 'If you eat them it will kill you.' "However, the little boy was dubious. He had been cheated before this by grown up people. Day after day he asked if he might not eat the images. Finally he had a young friend, Richard Howe, to spend the day with him, and that night it was discovered that one of the images had disappeared. "His mother, nearly frantic, rushed to him. * " 'Harold,' said she, 'where is that pink image?' "Harold frowned as he answered definantly: " 'I gave it to Richard Howe, and if he's alive tomorrow, I'm going to eat the other one myself.'" The Solution of the Ne*?ro Problem. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?There is a great deal being said about the negro; what we shall do with him, etc. I wish to give my views to the public on this question. It is a very easy problem to solve if we will only go at it as God would have us do. The key to it all is convert the negro to God; this will bring all things right. We as a white race are largely responsible for the condition of things - X rs today. We have not done our duty to God and man, and I wish to say that the negro is a man. He is one of God's creatures the same as we are, only he is black. He is our brother in black. His heart, his mind, his soul, his strength are made of the same material as we are. The only difference is God painted his skin black. This was a curse sent upon their father for sin, and they are no more responsible for this sin of their father than we are responsible for Adam's sin. The negro has a soul to save as well as the white man, therefore we are held just as responsible for his salvation as we are the salvation of the heathen in China, Japan, or any other heathen nation. We have the right to give the gospel to them; we have the same obligation to the negro as we have to any other race of people. It is the wicked one that has our eyes and mind blinded on this question. He would have us as a white race not to see our duty here so as to enable him to get the white man as well as the negro, and it is a sad . thought but nevertheless a true one. He has the world blinded today and nearly all men are being deceived by him. The world at large is making a rapid march | to destruction. Now I do not want to he misunderstood on this question. ^ am not advocating social equality, but far from it. I do not believe God would have us do this as he has made the negro a separate race of people he would have them renfain so, so far as social equality is concerned. He is to remain the white man's servant, a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, but his interest and ours are the same. His justice is the same; he has the same right to justice as we have; he is a descendant of Adam, therefore he is one of us; he is a man, a creature of God. This makes him our brother in black. Now let us consider the command, "Love all men, do good to all men; defraud no man; be h'onest with all mankind; go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Now listen to what God's word says: "If i man say I love God and hateth his brc ther he is a liar, for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen how can he love God whom he hath not seen." 1st John, 4th chapter, 20th verse. So you see we are under obligations to the negro race as much so as any other race. His interest and ours are the same. If we will help to elevate the negro we will be elevated. You may say love the negro? I answer yes, but not in a social equality sense, nn nn hut invfi him with that love as iiv, "V, God would have us love; look to his welfare, seek to save his soul, be as much interested in his salvation as we are in any other nation, because we are all one. Listen, "No man liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself." If we try to down the negro we keep ourselves down in so doing. We will never be elevated where God* would have us be. We hear men say they hate the negro. He that hateth j his brother let him be white or black or of any other color loveth not God. Now I will take God's holy word to prove my assertion that the negro is our brother in black, he is one of us, and I want my reader to follow me closely so as not to misunderstand me. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that are in them, then he created man and put him on the earth. This was the only <? man God ever created and he was a white man. God has never created a man since, but man has begot man. We are not created but begotten of our father Adam,and the negro is a descendant of Adam, hence [ say he is our brother in black, and all other races of people are the sons of Adam, hence we are all brothers, and the command is to lore all mankind let him be white or black. All men were white until after the flood. Noah and his family were white until after the flood. Now mark you, God never created Noah, but Noah was begotten of Adam. At this * J n - J), l. 1 Li J .1 period OI vxou a msiury uy uia wuru iucic were only eight souls of Adam's race; all 3 others had been destroyed by the flood; eight white people. Noah and his wife, his three sons, and their wives Shem, Ham, and Japhet were the names of Noah's three sons, and there was the beginning of the negro race, or I believe it is from my understanding of God's word. Now Ham, one of Noah's sons, sinned and God put a curse upon him, made him black and made him and all his descendants to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, a servant of the white man. v Now I have proved by God's word that J the negro is our brother in black, he is of the Adamic race, hence he is one of us v 17J and he deserves our care and watchfulness, he is entitled to justice, he should have the gospel preached to him by the white man as well as by the colored man. > We as white men should do our whole duty in trying to bring him to God, con- * ;J vert him, and this will solve the whole negro problem. Love him not as our equal in this world, but he will be our ? ^ equal in heaven, the converted negro will be as white as any of us in heaven, and why not teach him this so as to raise his aspirations. It makes me tired to hear men argue that negroes have no souL % % God pity such, when the negro's soul has ' the same blood passing through its veins and it breathes the same air that the p white soul does. He is blood of oar blood gnd flesh of our flesh; he is the son of Adam. I challenge any man to deny this by God's holy word. So let us do onr duty to the negro, teach him good morals, teach him to be honest, teach him that he is one of God's creatures, teach him that he has a soul to live through all eternity, teach him that God loves him and wants - . ^ to save him, teach him the way of salva* tion, lead him to God, and then we will have no more trouble with the negro. < He is here with us and he' is here to stay; we can't get rid of him; he is one of * God's creatures, and Christ said, "Go ye - '-yM into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." So then let us^begin now and preach to this black race of God's, get the negro converted, then he will give you an honest day's Jwork, you will then get value received out of him. Convert him and he will cease to be an idler, a child of God is not lazy, a lazy man cannot be a Christian. Convert the ' negro and he will never harm you but will be a true friend to you. He will re spect you and obey you; convert mm ana he will have self-respect and cease to spend his money for drink. Convert him * "y? and he will cease to lay out at all hours of the night, he will work in the day time and rest at night. Convert hfm and he will respect our sons and daughters. Convert him and he will cease to gamble all day Sundays. Convert him and he will cease to want to be idle on the street all day Saturdays. Convert him and he will keep the Lord's day holy. Convert him and he will cease to live in adultery. Convert him and he will cease from all uncleanness. Amen. We would then learn to love the negro more and more, and he would love us more and more in return. Then-all strife would cease and justice will be meted out to the negro as well as to the white man; then all negroes will become Democratic, as they will then learn that Democracy means justice to all men aDd special privileges to none. It will then no longer be said, "All for the white man and none for the nigger." So then let us as white men get the beam out of our own eye, then we can see clearly how to get the mote out of the eye of our brother in black. As I said in the outset, we as a white race are largely responsible for the present condition of affairs today between the blacks and whites. So I say let the church go to work at home, do missionary work. Convert the poor white man and the negro and the rich man too. Then all crime will cease in our country, such as divorces which have become alarming, also, rope, murder, suicides, robbing, frauds, gambling, drunkenness, and many others that I might mention. Then our court houses will have to close their doors, and judges and lawyers will have to seek other vocations. Then peace and harmony will prevail and God will have all the praise. AmeD.
