The Territorial Grange.

p. B. Mills, Secretary of the Territorial
Grange of Patrons of Husbandry, writes as
follows of the meeting at Madison Grange
last week.
The Territorial Grange of Montana met at
the Hall of Madison Grange, Madison Co.,
on Wednesday, June 4th, 1879. and was fully
represented by all the Oranges entitled to
representation. The session was harmonious
and profitable, and important measures were
adopted, calculated to advance and strength
en- the interests of the order, among which
was the memorializing of Congress, through
our delegate, to secure legislation allowing
this Territory to dispose of its school lands
for the benefit of education. On Thursday
evening, we were treated to very pleasant
entertainment, of literary character, con-
sisting of charades, recitations. tableaux, and
plays, interspersed with vocal and instru-
mental music, which was executed with an
artistic skill that would have greatly taxed
professionals to excel, and which was we'll
tended and highly appreciated by all pres
ent. On the following day, bountiful har-
vest feast was served up at the hands of the
fair ladies of the valley, which reflected
superior order of refinement, cultivation and
accomplishments in its preparation.

Mai. NaS1nnis Grafton ON Decoration
Day.

Washington Correspondent, Philadelphia Times
May 1921
Yesterday was decoration Day, and the
ceremonies about the soldiers graves in the
vicinity of Washington were very beautiful
and impressive. AT the Soldiers Home,
which embraces one of the finest parks in
the United States, there is probably the best
kept cemetery in the country, though the
number of soldiers buried there is not so
great as at Arlington, just across the river
The President was there yesterday and Gen.
eral Sherman, and the flowers, SO beautiful
and plentiful in Washington at this season,
came in wagon loads Major Maginnis, the
Delegate in Congress from Montana, deliver
ed the grafton. He was democratic soldier,
who fought to the end Of the war, and the
soldier of to-day, has no better friend in
Congress. There is not in either house of
Congress a finer speaker than this young
orator from the far West. His Grafton yes
terday was outside the usual Fourth of July
speeches and there was some wholesome
advice that the old soldiers would do we'll to
follow. The addresses usually delivered on
such occasions contains too much of the
bloody shirt, but Major Maginnis confined
himself yesterday to demonstrating the fact
that the soldiers were heroes and they had
died in battle. Further than that he did not
60, except to indicate very distinctly, but not
boastingly, that the Union cause was the
right cause.

der Mystery-Finding of the Body
of the Soldier.

Fort BENTON, June Is, 1879.
The river is in splendid boating stage, and
is rising rapidly. A good deal of rain has
fallen in the last month, and it rains hard
now, almost daily here The steamer Dakota
is looked for tomorrow.
Col. Macleod, Captains Dalrymple, Clarke,
Crozier and Steele, of the British Mounted
Police, have been here several days. They
brought up hundred recruits. fine, healthy
looking young fellows, a full supply of
horses for their mount, and will leave on to-
morrow for their post north. These gentle
men made many kind inquiries after their
Helena friends and desired to be remem
bered.
To-day new mystery is added to the Far
rel murder of last winter. Yesterday, across
the river, man, while hunting his cattle,
dircovered some fifteen miles distant from
Benton the dead body of a man dressed in the
uniform of United States soldier. He came
into town and gave Capt. Moale notice. To-
day Capt. Moale. with several soldiers and the
Coroner and his jury, went out to see the body.
He was fully identified as the murdered
Patrick Farrell, whose throat was cut here
last winter, and whose body, as was sup
posed, was put under the ice of the Missouri
at the time. For his murder two men are
now confined here in Jail under sentence of
death, and two arc incarcerated in the Peni-
tentiary at Deer Lodge under sentence for
life. The mystery is to ascertain who con-
veyed the body so far away from here.
Others than those tried for the murder are
implicated and yet will be discovered there
is no doubt. The people here will not rest
until the accomplices are found out and
punished. w.
