In matters little what. calling may b.

In matters little what. calling may be
chosen, success rarely ever crowns the
efforts in life without a long and persistent
struggle. In every country, and in almost
every calling, we find men who have risen
from the bottom as it were to the very top
of their calling or profession. Men born in
poverty have risen to wealth and influence,
the child of obscurity has made his way to
the front ranks of men. But these changes
have been the work of time, assisted by
economy and close attention to business. A
few, it must be admitted, have, by some nn-
natural canse or freak Of fortune, risen sud
denly to eminence, but, as a general rule,
positions, of wealth, and influence are acqnir-
cd only by the labors of a life time, or, at
least, that period embracing the most vigor-
Gus portion of manhood.

that fu%nctionary to use his influence TO get
the order countermanded sending the caval-
nv away from Fort Ellis. 1t is urged Viii
good reason, that if Gallatin county IS lett
exposed it will invite a raid from the SIOUX
of the Big Horn at an early date, ana the
people of the valley will have no means OF
preventing a large body from murderlnga M

Governor. we understand, acted promptly ;
but whether it will have the desired effect
or not remains to be learned.S.

T. Generals Gibbon and Brisbin are partially
of the opinion that it. may prove necessary
to retain the Montana troops this sid of the

FROM an article in our Grange de-
partnent, it will be seen that the war which
has ragged so long throughout the States be-
tween the farmers and railroad corporations
has at last ended VIGOROUSLY for the farm
ers. This will place a new phase upon this
branch of business. The great industrial
classes of America are now no longer at the
mercy of these powerful corporations, but
have become their masters. There is enough
good SENSE we think, in the agricultural
ranks of the country to use this power in a
manner that will be vastly beneficial to the
property of the country without injury to
railroad corporations. Under t~histconstruc-
ton of things, the aiding of such enterprises
by means of a subsidy is by no means as
disastrous a business as under the old dis
pensation as the people have the power OF
regulating the tariff, and preventing the
creature of their own creation from becom-
ing a monopoly. What affect this decision
will hare upon the construction of roads
in the future, is hard to tell but it is quite
probable that companies will exercise great
er precaution, and require more assistance
in undertaking gigantic enterprises than
heretofore.

THE following are the amendments to the
game law:
Sec. 2. That any person or persons who
shall wiifully shoot or otherwise Kill or
cause to be Killed any grouse, prairie chick
en-, pheasant, fool-hen, partridge or quail,
between the frs t day of March and the first
day of August each year, or shall hunt or
chase with dogs any elk, deer, atelope or
mountain sheep, shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be tined in any sum not less than nifty
dollars for each offense committed, and all
persons are hereby prohibited at all times
from killing any of the birds described in
this section for speculative purposes, or Tor
market for sale and any person or persons
who shall hereafter kill any of the charac-
ter of birds in this section h%ereinbefore men-
toned, for speculative purposes, Tor market
demeanor, and upon conviction Thereon,
shall be fined in any sum not less than fifty
dollars nor more than one hundred dollars.
Sec. 3. That a fishing tackle consisting
of a rod or pole, line and hook, or spear,
shall be the only lawful way that fish can
be taken in my of the streams OF the. Terri
tory. 1t shall, however. be lawful to use a
seine in the Missouri and Jefferson rivers,
and in the Beaverhead up to the Beaverhead
Rock, and in North Boulder creek twenty
five miles below its mouth.
The above, SO far as it goes toward offer
ing protection to the feathered tribe, is a
miserable failure. There are those who will
set us down as an extremist On this matter,
but being thoroughly identified with the
agricultural interests of. the country, c
cannot refrain from frequent mention of sc
important a subject. BY reference to an ar
ticle to be found upon our first page, oul
readers will learn something OF the value o.
birds to our farmers. In a grasshopper
cursed region, such as ours, we feel that nc

would aid in their determination. The

interests, as it will tend to protect certain

In looking over the, States, we find that
those of the early settlers who located and
established business with a view to permano
ence have, with the. progress of time, grown
steadily bat surely into independent clrcuEn-
stances, while Others, without fxedness. OF
purpose, changing their business everyfew
years, vainly seeking: for something BETTER
are still, in old age, found battling hard with
the world.
Looking back. over the period since the
settlement Of Montana, we also find that
those who set to work, in earnest, with a
steady and settled purpose, are prosperins,
while many who have hurried from place TO
place, attempting first one calling and then
another, hoping to make a fortune in. u few
years, are still, penniless. Montana is still
comparatively new, her resources are still
undeveloped, and judging the future from
the past, it is. safe to conclude that there IS
yet time to build up with the country. 10
do this properly will require a concentration
of energies upon one pursuit. Failures may
come at first, but do not be too easily dis
couraged. Keep steadily on the tide will
flow in time, for diligence is not without its
reward.

Mr.. l.. ID. Wood, the stage carpenter,

everything In trim for the successful
production OF the piece. All the cos

The city Council Accepts the Propos
EItion of the Company 40 Construct
the Alarm.
At the meeting Of the council last
night, the proposition of the National
Fire and Police Alarm Telegraph COM
pany, to construct five and half
miles of line, and place ten boxes in
different parts OF the city, for rental
of fifty dollars per month, was accept
ed, provided that an extra box and
general alarm be added for the same
amount OF rent per month, the COM
pany TO keep the wires In repair. 1t
now remains for the company TO
accept the pr0viso, which we
hope they will do. The construction
of such an alarm has long been neces-
sary In Dallas, and we were glad to
see the action of the council In the
matter. When the system is in work.
ing order it will be great benefit to
our firemen, for then they can tell the
exact location OF fire without run
nirg up one street and down another.
1t will also be great benefit to help
the fremen Of East Dallas, In enab-
ling them to quickly summon aid from
down town, and also to hurry to the
assistance of their brother firemen on
this side of the railroad. Ne learn
that ms soon as the contract Is closed,
that the alarm telegraph will be inn
medlately put up and boxes placed in
position.

About u week ago man went 10 the
Cfutohheld house, at the west end of
Main street, and registered az "a. w.
Gage, Henderson county" He was
accompanied by IA young boy, who
Gage stated Is only five years old, and
In this statement he IL substanllated
10y the child himself. A remarkable
thing about the child Is his extraordl.
nary size. Hels quite tall for hls age,
very ileshy and weighed over one humid
red pounds when he arrived In the city.
Since he has been at the Crutchneld
house, no has been slok with chills,
and has lost flesh, though he IL still
very large for his years. Cages story,
Az told Mr.. Kennedy, tho landlord OF
the Crutchlield house, Ia that the boy
was kidnapped In Henderson county,
near Rusk; that the man who kldnapS
ped the child, brought him 10 Dallas
with the purpose OF exhibiting him ut
the fair, but did not do 30.
Gage said that the father, who re-
sides on his (Gage's) farm, had sent
him to bring his son back; that he had
found the man who had kidnapped
the child and was then on his way
back TO Henderson county with his
charge. But the strange part OF the
circumstance is that the next morning
he told Mr.. Kennedy that some one
had stolen his horse and he would go
and look for the animal. He went away
leaving the boy, and was gone two
days. He then returned, and reported
that he had not discovered his horse.
After eatiug dinner he again left and
has not been seen since, and Mr.. Ken
nedy 10 at loss to account for his ab.
sence. The boy 10 still ut the hotel,
where he is made as comfortable as
possible, but is not well, as above
stated. He is of ordinary intelligence
and says his name Is Tommy Reese.
Mr.. Kennedy has reported the circum-
stance to Mayor Cabell, who to-day
will write to Rusk making inquiries
Of the child's parents.

inches of being as high as Il has yet

from the bridge was overflowed by
water In several places. and doubtless

that such rush Of waters would take
