Rates Of Fare o., the River Route.

The passenger traffic on the Upper Mis-
souri, during the approaching season prom
Uses to be unusually lively. There is no
| question that the river route is superior to
| any other to and from the Territory, and
the low rates of fare that have been adopt
ed for this year will undoubtedly secure
more than two-thirds of the passenger trade.
The Baker Line will give through tickets,
from Helena to ST. Paul, via the N. p. II.
r., for seventy-tive dollars each, while we
understand the L. p. r. r. charges SlO5
from Helena to Omaha. The cost OF fare
from st. Paul to Chicago, st. Louis, New
York and other eastern cities, is lower than
from Omaha to the srme points, and the
accommodations offered by the Baker Line
are SO far superior that hey bear no COM
parison with those Of the stage line from
Helena to the railroad.
The Benton Transportation Company
offer equally favorable terms to persons
leaving the Territory, and they will give
through tickets from Chicago to Fort Ben
ton, first class fare, $500; second class,
S5l.Oo. This company will run weekly
line of boats between Benton and Bismarck
during the season. Their steamers are
light draft, provided with shade decks, and
built expressly tor the upper river trade.
The above rates of fare have just been es-
tablished and may possibly be reduced. 1t
should be remembered that there are no
emigrant trains on the n. p. II. r., and
second class passengers on this route travel
the same as first class after leaving or be-
fore reaching the steamer. Parties who
desire to SEMI tickets to their friends may
obtain orders at the Benton office OF the
COmpany.-Beatas Record.

TIE UTAH NORTHERN.

The spring terminus of the Utah North

miles northwest of the place where the
road crosses Bear river The Montana
| freight teams are expected to get their sec
ond load at this terminus, and in the .ncan-
time the railroad will be pushed forward
into Marsh Valley, to a point where the
Montana wagon road crosses Marsh creek,
near the southern boundary Of the Ross
Fork Indian reservation. Parties who
think they can divine the inscrutablc pur-
poses OF Jay Gould, say that the extension
OF the Utah Northern is only scheme TO
throw cold water, as it were. over the
Northern Pacific project. so that Gould
may the lo"gpr enjoy the Union Pacific

Hurdy Houses.

Two of the six indictments mentioned
last week without giving names, on ac.
count of the parties not being under arrest
when the record was made, were agains,
Madame Mitchell and Charles Stanchtield
of Butte, for keeping hurdy-gurdy houses.
The madame was arrested in Butte and
Stanchtield in Helena, and had their trials
this week. The Court fined them each
500 and costs amounting to another $lOO
in each case. This is the extent to which
the law goes. But it has pro 1ably ended
the hurdy business in this county. Mr..
Mayhem. District Attorney, did not pro-
pose that the proprletOrs of these places
should go free under the Justices ruling in
Helena, that ''hurdy-gurdy is stringed
instrument, and a house cannot dance,r
and SO brought the matter to issue in the
District Court. The result is yerdicts in
compliance with the law of the Territory.
and suppression of the most lcwd and in
famous houses ever established in this
county. The law is broad, strong, unaues-
tionable and wise. The Butte hurdy houses
were hot-beds of crime and lewdness,
working vast decentralization, costing the
county large SUMS of money, the scene of
many shooting scrapes, and liable any day
to land victim in the grave and murder
er On the scafiold. The benefit Of this de-
cision is that while the fine imposed is tri-
fling 1t has established the unlawfulness of
keeping such houses, and Justices of the
Peace are authorized by these decisions to
arrest and fine this amour. every time such
house is opened, and every day if ne,es-
sary to suppress them. 1t ends the hurdy
business in this county. We congratulate
the good people of Butte on the suppress
sion of these vile establishments

The case of Fitz John Porter is to be
re-opened. Porter was cashiered from the
regular army in 1868, for dsobeying the
orders Of GO. Pope, his superior officer
in the second 'ull Run battle. The YER
dict of the couit-martial dismissing him
from service has been the subject Of much
controversy, and many petitions have been
sent in asking for a re-hearing of the case,
but until lately such appeals have been in
vain. But the President has at last or
dered new trial, although he began the
examination of the evidence submitted
with iIl-concealed prejudice against Porter.
The commission to examine the records of
the old court-martial, and airy new evil
dence submitted will meet at West Point
in June. 1t is expected to lead to Porer's
reinstatement in his former RAM. and posi-
ton in the army.-Batte Miner.

X Killed.

Yesterday, While Edward r. Slater, OF
French Bar, was working alone under a
bank at that place, it caved in, burying the
unfortunate young man beneath it. 1t was
probably an hour before parties coming to
the spot realized what had occurred They
hastily removed the dirt and took out the
body, cold in death. 1t seems that he had
been warned several times not to approach
too close to the bank, but being of ven
turesome disposition, he did so, and death
was the penalty for his venturesomeness
and carelessness. The deceased was a
youn..s man, and had been in the country
but 4 Year. He left Chicago with but Sl5
in his pocket, and walked the entire dis
lance from that city to Montana. His
parents reside in San Francisco, and he has
no relatives, we understand, living nearer

about one and a halt miles from the Fort

seems, was as much infatuated with her
aged lover as he was with her. BY what
means he cast the snare and witclerles of

and prevailed upon him 10 take him across
the river. Unobseryed he made his way
to the residence of Mr.. Lurchin's. where
the poor girl was anXiously awaiting his
coming. Soon they had crossed the river,
and none too hurriedly, tor the parent |
missing his daughter, buekled on his re-
vOhcr. and dashing down to the rivers |
edge, yelled and shouted the name Of the
departed one. The storm ho"led and tie
water dashed along its rocky confines, but
high above all were heard the clarion notes
of the stricken parent:
''Come back! Come lack!' he cried In grief,
''Across the storm. water,
And I'll put bullet through your chief,
My daughter, oh, ny daughter.''
His cries fell unhealed, while the winds

COnstantinOOle Socially.

A traveller through the East sends a
lotter to the New York Tribune, from
which the following is condensed for the
purpose of showing the social and polit-
ical condition of Constantinople, as il
appears to a professional. The war
naturally worked sad change in the
lives of poorer classes. With the depre-
citation of paper money came dispro-
portionate advance in the price of bread
stuffs, and consequent suffering among
the people. One instance is cited rs hav-
ing come under the writer's observation.
A young girl who was able to earn five
piastres day, with which to support
her mother, two sisters and herself,
stood before bakers shop with her
veil fallen to the ground and her yes
flashing with anger, while her whole at
titude be'okened grave alarm. She had
gradually seen the price of bread IN
crease while her own wages remained
unchanged, until at last she had been told
her money was no longer sufficient to
keep her family from actual starvation.
The picture of that poor sufferer was one
typical Of the invaded and doomed re-
gion. The parent government is no
longer able, if it is disposed, to help its
children, and the tradesmen are rude
aud grasping in their demands. The
condition of that section of the world is
deplorable, but it is such as inevitably
follows an unsuccessful struggle at
arms,
