STICKLERS FOR RELIGION.
The absence of John E. Overton about
whom the newspapers of Portland were
worrying considerably recently is now
satisfactorily explained. As is usual in
such affairs there was a woman in the
case. Mies Annie Engles has brought
suit against John E. for promising to
marry her, and deliberately trifling
with her affections. It seems though
that differences of religious beliefs, she
being a Catholic and he not much of
anything, but an ardent A. P. A., was
what caused all the trouble. All the
marriage lacked of consummation any
way was the license and the ceremony,
yet in spite of this state of . affairs the
religous opinions of the lady were
so strong that she refused to become
Mrs. Overton unless the ceremony was
performed by a priest. Overton, on the
other hand, was willing to fulfill his
promise to marry his girl, but thought a
civil marriage by the genuine American
justice of the peace was about the right
thing. They could not agree, neither
would yield, and as Overton was liable
to criminal prosecution he abandoned
his home and fled.
It strikes us under the circumstances,
that the lady in the case is a greater
tickler for her religion than she is for
the rights of her child, or the feelings of
her lover, while John, having no re
ligion, can offer no reasonable excuse for
refusing the services of the priest.
THE SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.
Barrels of ink and carloads of hard
words are being spent over the school
book question. Some are fighting .the
Book Trust, whatever that is, some are
kicking the American Book Co., and
others are just kicking without any ap
parent reason. We cheerfully admit
that we do not know anything at all
concerning the situation. Our present
school books may be good, bad or in
different as far as we know, and we be
lieve that most of the newspapers that
are attacking the Book Trusts are as
poorly informed as we are. If the school
teachers, those who use the books, whoce
business it is to use them and whose oc
cnpation qualifies them to express an
opinion on the subject, would take part
in the general discussion some knowl
edge of the situation might be gained.
The Chronicle will gladly give space to
any of our teachers who care to express
an opinion on the subject. Not only
will we give space, but we urge that
those who are qualified. to know give the
public the benefit of their knowledge.
The book question has been stirred up
until everybody is interested, and here is
& chance for those who teach the young
. idea how to shoot to also give the older
folks a lesson in the art.
DON'T MONKEY WITH IT.
An act of congress approved August 8,
1894, provides that "any person who
shall knowingly iseue or publish any
counterfeit weather forecasts, or warn
ings of weather conditions, talsely repre
senting such forecasts or warnings to
have been issued or published by the
weather bureau, United States signal
service, or other branch of the govern
ment service, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and, on conviction there
of, for each offense, be fined in a sum
not exceeding $500, or imprisoned not
to exceed 90 days, or be both fined and
imprisoned in the discretion of the
court."
It is quite natural that the govern
ment should not want any false reports
concerning the weather to be published
by private parties, after going to so much
expense to monopolize that industry.
As the political battle progresses the
eyes of the democratic faithful turn fer
vently and longingly towards the white
boose for assistance, but in vain. The
man-too-large-for-his-party is as silent
as the sphinx, as imperturbable as the
idols in the temple of Baal. Like the
typical war steed he scenteth the battle
from afar, and his gizzard doesn't seem
to require any ot it. The democracy
know however, " that as a last resort
their leader, who is a condition and not
a theory, may prove the means of vic
tory. Whichever republican gets the
nomination for the presidency might re
ceive a friendly visit from the president,
who could put his arms around him and
freeze him to death.
. Portland - is. having a nice little polit
ical scandal oyer the statement made by
Manager, O. S. Bratton, of the creama
tory. " This gentleman alleges that be
paid certain of the city council $260 for
passing a bill of $500 and agreeing to
pass another of the same amount to pay
for destroying garbage that was, in fact,
never destroyed, and that the money
was to be used towards paying the ex
penses of the city council and mayor on
their visit to the Tacoma fair. An in
vestigation will probably be had shortly.
Sin the meunwhil it is safe to believe
that the council were never purchased
for the price.
Tha Portland papers have found some
thing new, or think they have, in the
shape of a "deed of entirety,' by the
terms of which- the property conveyed
by it goes to the survivor and the prop
erty cannot be separated. The record
books are full of such, only people don't
know it; but if our Portland contempo
raries want any further light on the sub
ject, we respectfully refer them to
Cashier McElroy, of the Merchants
National bank of Portland. He is an
expert in that kind of documents:
FAIRY RINGS OF HELENA,
Theories Advanced as to Their Origin
Common In Eastern Montana. - . ,
The well-known circle on the pas
ture lands about six - mile3 east of
Helena, ,near the old overland stage
road, and which has been a curiosity
and a source of speculation for years,
is identical with the fairy rings so com
mon in some parts of England. '.There
were formerly two of these rings, says
the Helena (Mont.) Independent, but
one has entirely disappeared within
the last few years. The remaining one
is about two hundred feet in diameter
and forms a perfect circle. The groupd
forming the circle is about two yards
wide and quite destitute of vegetation.
Many theories have been advanced as
to the cause of these rings. Some say
that it is the result of lightning; others
that a herd of buffalo, pursued by
wolves, stopped and formed themselves
into a circle as a means of defending
their young, and thus tramped out the
grass. These rings have attracted the
attention of scientific men. and recent
investigations have shown they are the
result of centrifugal development of
certain kinds of fungi, among which is
the common mushroom, which shows a
tendency to grow in this manner." The
spot where it has grown is unfitted for
its continued nourishment, and the
spawn extends outward to. new soil,
forming the circle. . These rings are
common in eastern Montana, along the
Musselshell river, but the one near
Helena is the most perfect in the state.
Every mother should know that croup
can be prevented. The first symptom of
true croup is hoarseness. This i-t fol
