School Matters.

From the graduating exercises Of the
Lyons Public School we extract the fol-
lowing in relation to Bo.eman boy:
''Mr. Herbert L. Morrill, delivered most
creditable Grafton on the subject, ''Glimp-
ses of the Unknown" showing that all
have these glimpses at some lime or in
some manner. The hope that inspires us
to look forward and work for success is a
glimpse Of The unknown
From the same paper publishing the
abovc-the Lyons, Iowa, H~atd-we learn
that Prof. Wylie, who is to be the Princi-
pal of our high school, will conduct a
teachers institute in Taylor county, Iowa,
in August and then p; oceed to Montana.
The same paper contains the following:
ION Saturday evening the members of
the graduating class assembled at the resi-
dence OF Prof Wylie, on SIKH street, and
taking with them the Professor and his
esiimable wife. proceeded TO the home Of
Miss NJ. j. Boice, intending to surprise her
with Il farewell visit. Their arrival result
found their hostess anXiOusly awaiting
thn.i.. coming. she having learned their in
tcntions early in the afternoon.
''Several delightful hours were spent in
soc:ability, games, and in partaking of the
bounteOus refreshments, provided by the
guests. The evening closed with parting
address to the class by Superintendent
Wy)ie, which was listened to with deep
emotion by all present. The visit was
graceful tribute of affection and will, we
doubt not, be red letter day in tile calen-
dar Of its grateful recipient.
ION Saturday Prof Wylie and wife le-
ceived an elegant silver set of three pieces

Miles City.

A correspondent on the steamer Bachel-
or. writing to the Bismarck 1tibrne. says
We found Miles City divided-a portion
of the business men having started Gown
2 IL miles farther south on Tongue river
near Fort Keogh, which will, without a
doubt, necessitate the removal of all the
business houses, as most of the trade comes
from the fort. lam informed that the site
is higher and not subject to overflow. One
Of the finest and largest business houses in
Miles City is the firm of A. Il. Nininger l.
Co., whose shelves were artistically ar
ranged and the display of goods excellent.
They have large trade. Other firms are
also doing well. The mover of the new
enterprise is Major Hubbell, of the well
known staunch and reliable firm of Eroad-
water & Hubbell, the latter of the famous
Diamond r line of freighters. B. & II. are
building large and handsome store house
and it will lie filled with the best stock of
goods ever brought to Miles City. The
Major is an old mountaineer, pleasant and
affable, and is quite an acquisition to the
new Miles City.

Two years ago tonight the Far West a.
rived with terrible news of the Custer mas
sacre. Then there was not settler west
OF the Missouri river between this point
and Tongue river. Since then Gen. Miles
with handful of troops has cleared the
whole country of Indians, and now we not
only have regular mail service over Gus
ter's trail, between this point and Tongue
river, but almost every quarter section of
land for % miles out has been taken by
actual settlers and settlements extend all
along the Missouri and UP the Yellow
stone. Indeed we are informed by Capt.
O'Toole, trader at Fort Keogh, that man
can travel on foot from Bismarck to the
Custer battlefield, stopping every night
with settlers. Indeed one enterprising
MOntanian has taken the very ground on
which Clusters command was slaughtered
as ranch. Think of this. The work of
two short years. The country about the
Big Horn and Tongue river posts is set
Ting very rapidly and promises to prove
one of the best stock and sma]l grain re-
gions known.-Bismarck Tribune.

Our Improved stock.

The Husbandndn Of The 18th inst. has
the following to say in justice to the best
stock raiser in Gallatin county: ''Charles
Anccney, Of Gallatin county, has recently
sold to Nelson Story lot of fifteen or
twenty high grade young bulls at good
figures. Mr.. Anceney is one of the few
fine stock breeders of Montana who have
kept up their herds and continued to breed
them carefully during the past five years,
though there was little sale for that kind
Of stock. Now that we have market,
and our beef cattle find ready sale, our
stock men are beginning to look out for
good bulls with which to improve their
herds, and Mr.. Anceney is receiving his
reward for his care and patience. He has
some Of the best breeds, and his skillful
management in breeding is bringing his
herd up to a fine standard. We wish him
success"

house in this city, has already handled
about sixty Thousand pounds OF wool from

other sections OF the Territory, and there
is a large quantity of wool yet to b.
handled in Montana. The house of E.

A movement is on foot to have culverts
placed in all the ravines on the Yellow

We are infol med that Mr.. Gage and Others
say they will place culverts on the road
from Shields river to Cages, and by bridg-
ing certain place, sholt ten the road four
miles, if the people on this side of the
range will improve the road over the

the road will be solid even during wet

freight teams will soon make some of the
ravines impossible. "a stitch in time
