We remarked a few weeks ago
that it took Prosecuting Attorney
Caples and Judge Bellinger to dis
pense justice with the promptness
that is commendable. Since then
the truth of our remark was demon
strated at Astoria, where on Monday,
Aug. 18th, an old jai. bird committed
. burglary. He was arrested on
Monday and court being in session
the grand jury indicted him on Tues
day, they tried and convicted him on
Wednesday, and on Thursday he
was sentenced to the state prison for
FIVE years. That was surely swift
Justice, and of the kind that saves
taxpayers large amount Of money
that is too often wasted in postponing
trials of accused parties, to no good
purpose.

Custer County.

D. L. Mcfarland returned last night from
Custer county, where he has for several
months been surveying with a corps of as
sistants agricultural and grazing districts. He
established several standard and meridian
lines, and subdivided in all six townships,
contiguous to Miles city. Mr.. Mcfarland re-
ports the climate of Custer county very SINH
lar to that of this section, except that the
former has more rain fall. Corn, melons and
tomatoes mature there, and good agricultural
and grazing lands are abundant. The popu-
lation has not materially increased since last
spring, but if the N. P. road is extended a
large increase is expected next season. The
county is thoroughly organized, and civil law
and good degree of order prevails. Lin.
will remain in the Capital during the re-
mainder of the winter.

Delegate From Custer. County

Custer county occupies just now the rela-
tive position to the Territory, that the Terri
tory does to the General Government. Mr..
Paul Mccormick Gnstead of John McCor-
mick, as published) was elected delegate to
the Legislature from that county, and he will
present his credentials to the House early in
the session. Mr. Mccormick arrived yester-
day. and brings favorable reports from Gus
ter county. The climate and soil of that part
of Montana is highly extolled. Its settle
ment is progressing rapidly, and large in
flux of Eastern people is expected the CON-
ing season. Mr.. Mccormick during the Leg
islative session will look after the interests of
his county to the best of his ability.

Narrow Escape.

Just before the Dexter mill closed down,
Mr.. Samue: Stuart, who came so near poison
ing himself some months ago, had another
narrow escape, this time from salvation. At
the time Mr.. Stuart was engaged in retorting
Having charged both retorts and fired up in
the furnace beneath them, he closed the door
of the retort room and took his seat by the
stove in the battery room, four or five feet
from the door leading to the retorts. Here
he awaited the proper time to remove the
sponge, after the heat had votalized the
quicksilver and sent it off through the con-
densers But unfortunately the condensing
pipe became choked, when the mercurial
fumes forced their way out forward, passing
out from beneath the closely shut lid of the
retort into the room, and thence through the
crevices Of the closed door into the battery
room. Here the ascending current of air
from the hot stove probably carried them be-
yond inhaling distance of Mr.. Stuart, but
next morning the walls overhead were coated
as if with hoar frost, showing how narrowly
he had escaped. His dog, lying at his feet,
and little nearer the stove than his master,
was so badly salivated that he has since shed
his bark.-MSner.

An Important Decision.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
last month ruled that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters should be properly classed as medici-
nal bitters and venders of the same require no
special liquor license. The Commissioner
says:
''From all the statements and representa-
tons thus made in this case, am satisfied,
Notwithstanding the fact that these Bitters
are sometimes sold by the glass by retail iq-
uor dealers, that they have been properly
classed as Medicinal Bitters, and when duly
stamped, under the provisions of Schedule A,
of the Revised Statutes of the United States,
that they may be sold as other Medicinal ar
ticles, and sold without the vender being re-
quired to pay special tax as liquor dealer.
The ruling of this Office, therefore, contained
in the letter to Collector Carroll, of October
I'd, 1878, so far as it relates to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, is hereby revoked"

Let Custer County Have q Hearing.

Custer county having been organized since
the last representative apportionment of the
Territory, it had no voice in selecting legis-
lators at the late election, and the county,
though possessing population about equal
to that of Jefferson or Chouteau, will have
no direct representation in the Legislature
about to convene. The voters of Custer
county, however, selected John Mccormick
to come up to the Capital and see to their in
terests this winter. Probably it is not within
the province of either house to admit him
upon an equal footing, yet he should and
doubtless will have voice in all matters per-
tanning to their interests.
