Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1878-04-18

WE received a pleasant call a short time
since from the Rev. Clark Wright, our Ter.
rltorial Superintendent of Public Instruc.
tlon, VINO has been occupied the past week
III visiting the schools of Meaghcr county,
and are pleased to know he is a. live ener-
getlc man and has the educational interest
OF our Territory very much at heart. He
seems to fully understand that a school
means something more than "four walls
a roof and a figure head with rod of
iron to preside therein, and we trust may be
the means Of elevating our common schools
TO a proper standard. Incompetent teach
ers and poorly conducted schools are a use
less waste of the peoples money, and we
nope those interested may be awakened to
see this and provide a remedy. The Rev.
Wright has visited the schools of Madison
and Jefferson counties and intends making
a tour of the entire Territory.
ONE day last week John SHREDDER, who
for a number Of years past has been work
ing the Beaver Flat mines at the head of
Beaver creek, was served with an ejectment
in the shape of men with guns in hand. At
the suggestion Of the distinguished guns
men he abandoned the premises, but after
having advice of friends, has returned and
resumed work. The individuals claiming
authority pretended to have some title by
virtue of surveyors stakes made a number
of years ago. Mr.. SHREDDER claims that his
mines are not upon any surveyed lands
that he has a title from the original discov-
erers, and has been In peaceable possession
for several years. Should it turn out that
the mines are inside of a mineral survey. it
is very probable that the question as to
whether the person owning the property
under the local laws and in peaceable DOS
Of it, or the parties claiming title
through a deputy mineral surveyor are the
lighttul owners will have to be settled in
the courts. At all events, from what we
can learn the coming court will be called
upon to deliberate upon the propriety of
shotgun authority Of the would be land
shan ks.

The Antcccdents of Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are inertness in the circulation of tue blood, and unnaturallv attcnnat- ed condition of the physique, indl- eating that the life current is def cient in nutritive properties, wan, haggard look, inability to digest the food, loss of appetite, sleep and strength, and sensation of unnatu- ral languor. All these may be re. garded as among the indicia of ap- preaching disease, which will event ually attack the system and over whelm it, If it IS not built up and fortified ill advance. Invigorate, then, without loss of time, making choice of the greatest yitalizing agent extant. Hos.etter's Stomach Bitters, an elixir which has given health and vigor to myrlads of the sick and debilitated, which is ayouched by physicians and analysts to be pure as well as effective, which is immensely popular in this coun- try, and extensively used abroad, and which has been for years past ahe ofthe leading medicinal staples of America.

 Our wheat crop in this section of the county is.pretty generally conce- ded to be a failure, and many are of the opinion that seed will not be made in many places. View it as you will it is calamity to be deplored by all, as in many cases all available land was put in wheat.

,sttsrs from the People,
PopE COUNTY, Ark, May I, 1878.


 Ed. Democrat: l notice compli- ment in the DEMOCRAT of April p to the Hon. A. 5. MeKennon and Hon. l.. W. Davis, signed Rustic, saying no doubt bat lhe Hon. l.. ". Davis would almost unanimously be elect ed, dc. As to Hon. l. ". Davis be- ling elected unanimously, that IS q little too good, but l think that he will be elected by about three coun- tics out of five. As to A. $. Mcken- non getting a majority in Pope coun- ty as stated by MT. Rustic, l differ with him a great deal. 1 was at Do yer all court, and heard men speak ing in regard to McKennon and By CTS election from different parts Of the county, aud from what learned, my opinion is that MT. Mckennon will not get only about one township in the county. Mr Rustic says that we must vote for McKennon, 1st, be- cause he is in every respect qualified to perform the duties of the office; 2d, we believe if elected he will go forward and perform all his duties, and 3d, we do not propose to give Mr. Byers or any other man lease on the office. Let us here illustrate a little and see if we ought to lease to Mr. Byers any longer or not? Suppose I have rented my farm to Mr. A for several years, he has al ways paid up the rents and been prompt in every respect, what shall 1 do next year? Rent to Mr. A. or rent to somebody else, just because Mir. A. has been rentor several years? My motto is when well is do- ing to let it do on. Somebody may say has Mir. Byers paid up all the rents, been prompt in every respect! Answer: examine his record 1t tells for itself. say he has been very prompt, and is as well qualified as Mir. Me. or any body else. Byers is cursed by some because they have been indicted and prosecuted by him. Six months ago Byers and the grand jury were both cursed, for what? Because so many indictments were found. Well let us see about this charge, were the indictments groundless or not? At this last court the court would call "State ys. A." Mir. A. comes forward and says I will submit my case; next is ''State ys. B. MT. E. comes forwerd and does likewise, and so on, and so on, submitting and submitting. What made so many submit? Was it mere ly because the jury had got indict- ments or because they were guilty They must have been guilty. Well, who is to blame, Byers and the grand jury, or the persons who committed the crime? So with "Old Fatty" on the Bench, Hon. J. F.. Byers at the bar, and Mr R. B. Hogins to do the duties of Sheriff as he has done, l think the courts will hold only about one week each term. Respectfully,
 VOTER.

during the month of April: J. N. Shankle to Mrs. Malinda Vow; Jessie IN. Brown to Mary J. George; II. l.. Cotton to Elizabeth Chamblis; r. B. Mobley to Elizabeth Macomb: T. H.. Sweden to Nancy k. Kelly. This is T bad showing for one month and it is fearful to contemplate that at this rate the number of "OId Maids' there will be in ten years from to-day. Mothers look to your daughters interests and make the young fellow declare his in tentions or give way to some other fei- low who will. The County Clerk al- WAYS has the license on hand and you should ace that he makes living.
 Our Sunday School Picnic on the first was perfect succession Dover is noted for always having enough to cat only as is usual on such occasions there was TOO much speaking. Weare decid- edly opposed to speaking at gatherings of this kind. Tine people meet for mutu- al enjoyment and recreation and to be compelled to sit and listen to I long and labored discourse on stale and tedious subject is very wearisome to say the least and with due dctference to the speaker on this occasion, man whom we respect and whose calling we rever- ence, ten minutes would have been more appropriate than the time occu- pied.

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sud- den changes of temperature, rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in q single day,--it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglect ed colds, half the deaths resulting di- rectly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will pre- vent serious sickness, Il large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For cering Con- sumption, Hemorrages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or any disease O. the Throat or Lungs, it's success is sam ply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is now sold in every town and village on this conti- nent. Sample bottles for trial, l0c. ; regular size 75c. For sale by J. NJ, Harkey & Rro.

Another Strike.

The working men-the laboring classes-men and women-have made quite an important strike. They have "struck" for a remedy that will make positive and permanent cures of all
 forms of chills without any other med icine. In all their search throughout the country, it has leaked out that they have "struck" only one article that suits them in every particular, and that article is known as Days Ague Tonic, which they recommend to their fellow laborers as entirely worthy of conii- dence. WOrkingmen can govern them- selves accordingly. May 9.

 A letter from "Justice." and an obituary, together with other articles of interest are unavoidably crowded out of to-day's paper.

To Misses Josie Fears and Lillic Willis and Mrs. Alva Russell we ten- der our most extravagant thanks for delicacies from the picnic. The Rose City Globe favors the election of Hon, Thos. Essex as State Senator from that district. No doubt Col. Essex is just the kind of a man we will need in the next General Assembly. A young man by the name of Pat Howes, was killed almost instantly near Mariana, St. Francis county, on the lst inst. by being thrown from his horse.
 --CoNCERT.-The Ladies of the Meth odist Church, assisted by the string band, will give a Concert at the College Hall, Saturday night next. A pleas ant, chaste evenings entertainment is to be expected, and everybody should attend.
 A negro man was shot and killed near Blackfish Station, St. Francis county, on the 29th ult. The deed was unprovokcd and most brutal and cow ardly. The person who did the deed was unknown to the negro, and is un- known in the community, being a stranger who was passing through the country. The cowardly murderer has no. been arrested, but all efforts will be made to detect his whereabouts and bring him to justice.
 --The Gazette and Democrat have neither had much to say about the per sonal rencounter between Col. Smithee and Maj. Adams. Neither paper de murs to the account given by the Globe Extra; and that version of the unpleas- ant affair, must therefore, be taken as substantially correct. Col. Smithee referring to the affair in an editorial in Mondays issue, says:
 ''rhe most of our city readers, at least sonal rcncounter occurred in the streets between tho editor of this paper and Maj. Adams, of the Gazette. It would not be in good taste for us to mention any of the particulars of that affair, es- pecially as it has been taken hold of by the officials of the law. We desire to say that we bear cheerful testimony to the fact that our antagonist conducted himself gallantly and well throughout the "engagement."
