woman named Murphy kept an apple and
peanut stand in front Of the war department
building. While on his trip around the
world the General met woman on the
streets of Milan who sinilingly addressed him
and extending her hand asked himif he re.
membered her. He replied that he did, and
told her where he had known her. He then
asked her what she was doing there. She re-
piled that she had \ son with good voice
AID decided musical talent. and she had
saved her money and was with him there
giving him musical education. The son is

a printers Suicide.


We condense the following account Of the
suicide Of George Fl. Bell, preasman in the
Helena Mdependent, from last Friday issue
of that paper
sLast evening, about 8 o'clock, the report
Of a pistol was heard IL the press room OF the
Independent. The employees Of the office al
once rushed to the room, when a ghastly
sight presented itself. George r. Bell was
lying on the floor in q pool Of blood, which
was oozing from his temple. BY his side laid
o small revolver with one barrel empty. The
ball had apparently entered the right temple,
coming out at the left, passing entirely
through.
ssSume time last spring he opened a cores
pondence with q young lady in the East,
whom he had never seen, but with whose
relatives IN this city he was we'll acquainted.
An exchange Of photographs and an engage
ment followed. He forwarded to this lady
several hundred dollars to defray her ex-
penses to Montana, and invested several
hundred more IN furniture, jeWelry, etc,
pTepaIhlOfY@tLD IIaiIlaSG. lit IdaI CaIlG.
and, for a time, al went well. A day WAS
fixed for the marriage-then it was postpon-
ed at the request Of the lady, and afterwards,
we believe another day was fixed. Again the
lady hesItated, enlargement ensued, and fin
ally the engagement, about Y months ago,
was broken off entirely. Mr. Bell was deeply
wounded at failure to consummate his mar
rage, and the affair continued TO prey upon
his mind. On Thursday, for the first time
since he has been il our employ, he Tesorted
to drink as a solace for his misery, and dur
ing the day purchased the pistol with which
the fatal deed was done. While intoxicated
on Thursday be often repeated to us his pur-
pose to end his existence. On yesterday,
however, lie returned TO his duties in the Office
perfectly sober, but with nerves shattered
by bis debaueh Of the previous day. We had
another long conversation with him and
urged him to forget bis wrongs and sorrows
which he partially promised to do. He still
vaguely intimafed, however, that he Woul{
notlong survive. During the day he perform
] ed 81 his duties with his accustomed fidelity

and ia the evening ran off the tlrst sac o.
this issue upon the press. Hardly " min
,tes before committing the fatal deed, ne
brought into the sanctum the editorial proofs
and handed them to us for correction. he
asked if we found the first side OF the paper
correct, and seemed anxious to know i every
hing was right. Evidently, he had resolved on
suicide, but wished to leave bis work IN pro-
per shape, and doubtless selected the press
room for the fatal act, in order that the office.
mioht At once be. aware of its loss in time to
secure 8 substitute to work off this mornings
;eo,e He died q little after 10 o'clock.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT:
Wnv can NoG We OF This Section Manu-
gaceure Our Own Flour?

I'm the vicinity of Bentou, on the Shonkln,
(Belt. Teton, Highwood and Missouri, there
are thousands of acres of productive land.
The. greater: part Of it has been taken up by
energetic and prosperous farmers, who are
commencing to farm on q large scale. lnelr
productions, however, are at present limited,
consisting Of vegetables, Watermelons, musk
melons, tomatoes, oats, potatoes and a little
barley. For what they do produce they are
getting top priees-oats at present selling III
this market for three cents per pound, pota-
toes three and three and one half dollars per
100 lbs, and scarce, as is everything else OF
this nature.
Our complaint is, that living in one OF the
most productive portions of the Territory, we
go SO far away from home for that staple OF
life-bread. We-knoW that We can produce
as good q quality of wheat, and as many
bushels to the acre as is raised anywhere, and
yet there is hardly enough raised here for
chicken feed. Our merchants are bringing
flour from Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and the
Gallatin valley in Montana. Not only buy
ing the -four there, but are paying from one
dollar and twenty-five to one dollar and. fifty
cents per hundred freight tariff in addition to
the cost of production in those localities.
And do our people ever get one dollar OF that
money back? Not one, save what the Tre,gt-
er, who transports that which comes over
land from the interior, leaves with us-and
those are precious few dollars in comparison
to the thousands that are taken from our
purses. If we were not one Of the most
prosperous communities IN the Territory we
could not stand such q drain. Such extrava-
gance is excusable only IN a mining country
that is producing q heavy surplus Of capital
above the expenses Of working the mines,
and only then when that mining country is
not capable of producing its own bread.
tits time for us to awaken to our interests.
Time that we should secure q merchant mill
in Fort Benton, locate it on the bank OF our
river and say to the armer produce your
wheat and we will buy it at 9 fair price. And
then can our merchants sell to that farmer
all his supplies aad everything needed on his
farm that he cannot raise. Thus are we pay
ing with one hand and receiving with the
other. We are growing our own beef and
mutton, raising horses and mules (and that
cheaper than any otper country in Alnerical,
are producing wool by the steamboat load,
and how foolish it seems for US to be paying
other people for the bread We eat, especially
