The Fraud Hartmann

New YORK, Sept. LA Herald's St..
Petersburg special says: The Hartmann
who has visited you in America is fraud.
The real Hartman is known to have been
elsewhere than In your country. This has
been affirmed to me In the most positive
manner BY . high dignitary, whose name you
will easily guess. He was formerly Ambas-
sador at Constantinople, and 1t was rumored
yesterday that Count Schouvalof was to re-
place him at his present post, while he him
self was to be appointed Minister of Foreign
Affairs. He has since contradicted this re-
port, and as IL Is important, think 1t right
to respect the contradiction. The papers
will, however, most certainly publish this
news rs true.

THE Denver Tribune thinks the Union
Pacific will not build 10 Oregon and that the
Central Pacific will not build to the Missouri
river, though the latter may have another
connection with the East by the Denver q

and that his friends who are still In the
directory are shaping such mad policy for
the road ~ to involve IL In numerous fights

THE Husbandman Is informed that the
Government will build telegraph line from
Fort Maginnis to Fort Keogh, instead Of to
Helena, and thinks this an unwise conclu-
sion, as the line TO Fort Keogh would be
through 9 bleak, timberless, unsettled, and
unfrequented country, while the line TO
Helena would cost no more than the other,
would bring Fort MAginnis in direct commu-
nicstion with headquarters, and would pass
through a settled country where the local
business would soon pay the cost Of con-
struction.

GENERAL LESLIE CooMBs, of Kentucky,
who died quite recently, was very original
character. He was born near Boonesboro,
KY, November 10th, 1893. His father had
been In the country before the Revolutionary
War, and receiving grant Of thousand
acres Of land, he planted enough corn 10
maintain his title and returned TO Virginia TO
assist In the struggle for Independence. Los
lie Coombs 1t the age Of twenty was captain
Of company Of scouts serving In the second
war with Great Britain. May Is, 1918, IN .
battle on the Maumee river between the In
dians and British under Tecumseh and Proc
Tor and the Americans under Col. Dudley,
Coombs was wounded twice and captured by
the enemy. While confined with others In
IN earth fort an Indian came In and tona-
hawked . prisoner, and all might have suf
feied similar fate had not Tecumseh stopped
the butchery, telling the Indians IL YVES cow
ardly TO kill unarmed captives. In later
year, Combs became greatly interested In
railroad development In his native State, but
lost nearly oil bis property 1t the business.
In newspaper interview few years ago he
said Of himself: 81 am . regular old-line

THE Central and Union Pacific authori-
ties met at Ogden las: Saturday and decided
to build extensive and permanent depot
buildings, all Of stone, brick and iron. The
Union passenger depot will have first-class
eating house and hotel, and there will be
large and convenient rooms for travellers, ex-
press and baggage, and Offices for the rail-
road men. The decision gives great en-
couragement to the people Of Ogden, who
were In doubt whether the town would ever
be more than way-station.

TO trial some trouble In proving his guilt may
arise from q complication In regard to the
pistol with which the deed was committed
The pistol, with the papers taken from Gui
teau, were turned over to District Attorney
Corkhill by the property clerk Of the police
force, who should have kept them himself
Corkhill has kept the pistol ever since, and
the question that may arise Is, whether the
policeman who took the pistol from Guiteau
can now identify IL as such. But Guiteau
will probably hang, pistol or no pistol, II the
President dies.

RAILROAD NOTES,
AS They are Picked up Promis-
cuously.

| A party of N. p. engineers, consisting of
Major s. Truax, William Vawter and w. p.
Bell, arrived in town Wednesday from Lew
iston, uid the Lo Lo Pass. We learned that
! they were sent by Messrs. Willard and Cakes
] to fully examine and report upon the posi-
bility of railroad building through the Lo Lo
Pass. They were very much surprised and
gratifed 10 find the route so easy of access,
| and so much shorter than the Pen d'Oreille
route. 1t is altogether probable that the N.
p. company will run narrow-gauge branch
mp in the direction of the Lo Lo to Camas
Prairie or Kamai, anyhow, as feeder to the
main line; thence up the Clearwater, across
the divide, and down the Lo 10 to Missoula,
Is only about 125 miles, and, the engineers as
sure US, is over very natural roadbed for
railway. The highest point reached will be
but 5000 feet, and Mr.. Truax expresses the
opinion that a road can be built on a grade
not to exceed seventy-five feet to the mile,
and possibly as low as fifty feet 1t Is not
very probable that so wide awake a corpora
ton as the Northern Pacific will neglect an
opportunity to seize upon path which will
save them 100 miles of distance and also give
them a rich country tributary to the route.
But even If a road through this pas be built,
10 Is not by any means to be concluded that
the Pen dOreille route will be abandoned
Missouliaa.
A telegram from New York states that Mr..
Willard did not elect himself President of the
Northern Pacific ut the last meeting, but that
Mr.. Barney was continued in that capacity.
Mr.. Billings retains a portion of his stock
and is buying freely of late. He will con-
tinue as Director of the company, and Is in
full accord with Mr.. Willard. The company
finds no difficulty in securing money, and the
work of construction is to be continued with
vigor.-Herdld.
The strength of tine Northern Pacific force
engaged in grading west of Glendive and
Miles City is stated at 5000 men.
Twenty-four cars of ties and five of timber

The Union Pacific authorities met q few
of the citizens of Butte on Thursday of last
week, to talk over railroad matters. Nothing
definite was arrived ut in regard to complet-
ing the road from Silver Bow to Butte, the
railroaders merely saying they desired its
completion but did not intend to pay exorb-
liant damages for right of way. Manager
Kimball explained that rates Oh California
goods for Montana had been raised because
the Central Pacific practiced the same injus-
tice in regard tn Eastern goods to Southern
Utah, Idaho and Nevada. According to
Butte papers, he said rebate would be given
on all California goods in transit at the time
the freights were increased.
The n. p. Engineers who came oyer the Lo
Lo Pass to Missoula last week, expressed the
opinion that the "Idaho, Montana and Clear
water transportation Company" lately or
ganized at Lewiston, Idaho, is a Utah IL
Northern enterprise.

Ar the session Of Congress In the spring
Of 1880, law was passed granting to several
Territories, among them Montana, seventy
two sections Of land each, for the nse and

from sale under the direction Of the Secre-
tary Of the Interior; that none shall be sold

ment by Board of Commissioners, to be
appointed by the Secretary Of the Interior
that none shall be sold 1t less than the ap-
praised value, and In no case at less than two
dollars and City cents per acre; that the

In the bonds of the United States and de-
posted with the Treasurer Of the United
States that no more than one-tenth Of said

year; that the money derived from the sale
shall constitute . University fund; that no
part Of the fund shall be expended for UNI
versity buildings or the salary Of professors
or teachers, until the same shall amount TO
fifty thousand dollars, and then only shall
the interest be used for either Of the forego-
ing purposes until the fund shall amount to
one hundred thousand dollars, when any ex-
cess, and the interest thereon, may be used
for the proper establishment and support re-
spectively of the Universities. 1t would be
well to make the immediate selection Of
these lands, II there 10 any method whereby
they can be deslgnated and withdrawn, be-
fore all the best are taken by private parties.

The President on Wednesday.

ELBERoN, $50 a. m, Septe mber T.-Gen.
Swain tins morning said the President slept
well all night. His pulse is not more than

NAL. There is very sanguine feelit pmong
the attendants this morning.
Boynton telegraphed at ii a. IN. that ev-
erybody was in good spirits. The change for
the better in the night was almost marvellous.
The day is the hottest of the season, ninety
In the shade. The excessive heat somewh at
affected the President about noon, bat his
general condition Is encouraging. His rally
ing from the depression of Tuesday night
shows recuperatiye power, and Bliss think 8
the sea-air will brace him. At noon the
pulse was la. The President himself says
that he feels stronger than In Washington.
The heat is greater than for years-90' to
1909.
dispatch at 0 p. m. says the President
was comparatively comfortable during the
day, which was as hot as ever known at
Long Branch. He slept at intervals and took
food without nausea, but without appetite;
but did not improve any in strength. Lower
temperature IL reported In the west aud Is
expected to reach Long Branch Thursday.
Bliss says the President Is better, and ex-
poets marked improvement in few days.
His extreme weakness and the hot weather
are the difficulties now. Barnes thinks the
President better off at Long Branch than in
Washington. Rsyburn says he had held his
own and recovered from the effects of the
journey. Cool sea breezes are hoped for to
bring rapid Improvement. General Swain
says the President Is getting on finely. Dr..
