DIR. Mitchell on last Friday amputated
the hand Of Mr.. Jerome Thomas, injured
by an explosion of giant powder, abont
one and one-half inches above the wrist.
The hand was horribly mangled; nothing
worse could be imagined. He stood the
operation well, and is doing well. Mr..
Barker was not seriously injured. Mr..
Cain, who had his leg broken at Philips
burg and reset after lying couple OF
days, has not gotten along SO well as was
hoped for.

Cash buyers will consult their interests
by examining my exceptionally full stock.
at this season OF the year. Having de-
cided to make radical changes in my bust
ness, shall close out the greater portion
OF my stock before the arrival of new
goods. Clothing, Boots and Shoes and
Gents Furnishing Goods, will make up
my stock in the future; and in buying
from first hands, and in such quantities as
will be necessary, l expect to be able to
procure such discounts as will put present
prices in the shade. My groceries, hard
ware, crockery, saddlery, ETC., must all be
out Of the way by the first of May, and
that ny new stock may be perfectly fresh,
I viii make such discounts on clothing,
boots and shoes, as will convince the most
skeptical that am in earnest, and ''mean

and prices, L.6. WILSON.

..Whnt Does It Mean.''

And now. Anderson, leader and one of
the organizers of the party in Gallatin
County goes back on the negro!
and on the principles OF his party in this
respect. What does il an?-BOzenaan
Times, 18th inst.
What question for profound lawyer
and a constant attendant at the bar to ask !!
Does not the ''old veteran know that Re-
publicans enjoy rights and privileges not
guaranteed by the laws OF Montana to Dem
ocrats. In other words, a Republican may
change his views in regard to the color
line. while Democrat cannot dc so except
in direct violation Of existing Democratic
laws. If the old man would devote his
brilliant talents more to subjects of legiti-
mate enquiry and matters ofpublic interest,
and less to vindictive personalities and
slanderous Nominations, it would not be
necessary for him to make 60 many errone-
Gus statements or ask SO many foolish
questions.
We trust he will not take it to heart If we
offer to enlighten him by calling his atten-
ton to Chapter LXXXVIIl, Common
Schools, Section "a, Codified Statutes,
1879, Laws of Montana. By comparing
this section OF law with the recent action
of the Board of Trustees Of this district, he
may, perhaps, be able to see how Repub-
lican principles have triumphed over DEM
ocratic law, and that everything connected
with our school intereets is moving along
tremendously, notwithstanding the evident
effort Of the Times to prejudice the public
mind and produce dissension in the Board
OF Trustees, by reviving old political H.
sues.

IN the river ana rarbor appropriated
bill is provision for expending $4,000
on the Missouri river. OF this sum $780,
GOO is set apart for surveys and SAC, 900 for
removal of snags. Thirty thousand dol
lars are to be expended on the river above
the mouth of the Yellowstone. If this
sum is spent in the worst places on the
river it will be great help to navigation.
The sum is small, but it is sufficient to re-
move many of the big rocks that now seri-
ously impede the navigation OF the upper
river. 1t is probable that boats will be
able to run until late in the fall if the work
of removing the distractions is pushed
forward rapidly.-Lndepeuden

No ADnreci0fiOn.

The veteran editor of the Times would
have us believe that he is wonderfully ex-
ercised about, and violently opposed to
the new doctrine regarding endless punish
ment. ltappears that some men are wholly
destitute of appreciation and every sense
Of gratitude. One would naturally sup
pose that, of all the incorrigible sinners of
the Territory, the one of ''thirty-odd years
experience" should feel and express senti-
ments of unfeigned gratitude to the man
who questions the existence of a literal
''lake OF fire and birthstone" In other
words, we think ''Old Sank" has peculiar
and personal reasons for feeling profound
" glad that Hell has been abolished. 1t
does seem, however, impossible to please
or satisfy a chronic grumbler.

We learn from Judge o. G. Smith that
quite number of cattle have been poison
ed in the Madison valley by eating wild
larkspur. This plant springs up in advance
OF the new grass, and is poisonous until
bloom appears, when it becomes harmless.
Appearing at time when cattle are raven
Gus tor green vegetation, they eat it, and if
not discovered in time most of them die.
The remedy is to puncture the hide with
knife and give vent to the gases which ac-
cumulate in the animal. 1t is estimated
that from fifty to seventy-five head have
persisted from this cause in the Madison
valley.

The service on the Benton mail route

FESTIVE and concluded to travel On their

lance being overturned, and the loss of the
tongue and one wheel.
1t cost Gallatin county man $19O.36 for
fishing with a seine in the Yellowstone
river contrary to law. The Bozeman Fish
ing and Sporting Club are entitled to credit
for inaugurating prosecutions against the
violators of the game and fish law. We
trust that their noble example will be fol-
lowed by people in all parts of the Terri
tory. The fish and game law is violated
nearly every day, but few prosecutions
would put stop to it. The law in rela-
ton to trapping and catching fish with a
seine provides adequate punishment to the
offender, but not for the man who uses
giant powder for that purpose The law
ought to be changed SO as to give any one
convicted Of that offensc at least five years
in the penitentiary.

A sweet little blossom from heaven,
Entrusted to earth for a time,
To Loves land again has been taken,
To bloom into beauty sublime;
Her friends have been stricken with sorrow,
For her presence had grown very sweet;
But the angels will bring her some morrow
Her mother and father to greet
For she is not lost, but transplanted
To soil that's more genial and warm;
For the old shell new has been granted,
Whose glory an Eden will charm;
This world is 80 cold and material,
1t don't see the angels when here,
Nor the pattering of feet that are arinl,
Nor the sweet voice that brings It good cheer.
But the friends Of dear Halle will listen
For manifestations of love,
And she in her kindness will hasten
With messages warm from above;
Oh! thanks be to God for the Gospel,
That has plucked out the sharp sting Of death,
That teaches that We are immortal,
From the spark we received Of Gods breath.

Thoughts Suggested hy the Death Of
| Halle Cook.
The sad and trying ordeal through,
which our friends MIR. and Mrs. Cook have
been called to 60 through, brings very WV
idly into my mind the beautiful conception
Of the great Greek law-giver, Scion, in his
description Of the Divine Republic, where
an injury to the humblest citizen would be
felt by the entire community. Wherever
love rules, and wherever there is a union
OF hearts, no member of that community
can suffer without causing more or less
pain to the whole sympathetic body; and
thus it is with the friends of MIR. and Mrs.
Cook, whose angel child has been lately
translated-wc feel that their loss is our
loss, and their sorrow our sorrow, and
their joy our joy; for there is. as MIR. Al
derson said in his instructive address at the
funeral, two sides even to the horrid pict-
ures of death: dark and bright one.
We are all of us more or less acquainted
with the dark side of the picture. for we
have all loved and we have all lost; torn
hearts are to be found everywhere, and
broken links are scattered over the face of
the whole earth; but I am sorry to say
that it is very hard to get people to look
at the bright side, to believe in the COM
muniOn of saints and the life everlasting, |
and that the angel world lies at the very
threshold OF this material one, and that
there is nothing lost; that our friends are
still our friends, and that our children are
still our children aud that All eur depart
ed loved ones will be ours through all eter-
nifty. But it seems to me as if can see
the dawning Of better day in the very
near future, when spirit communion will
become more universal and when every
home will have an open door for the re-
turn of their loved ones, and may God
lelp us to make ourselves worthy Of their
then our earth will be-
,orne a second paradise, governed by the
golden laws of love, which will bc the
strong chariot of humanity and its horse
nan, that will help to bring about the
,reat millenial age which has been foretold
~ all the seers of the past.
