RAILROAD NOTES.
As They are Picked up Promis-
cuouSly.

! A dispatch from Miles City to the New
York Herald Dec. LIST, says: The Northern
Pacific Railroad, Tuesday, crossed Tongue
river on temporary bridge, and yesterday
the track was laid to Fort Keogh. On ar
| irving, a rail was laid amid the firing of can
non, music by the band, and great rejoicing.
The permanent bridge over the Tongue river
has been begun, and will be completed in
ten days. The weather IL very mild. Men
| work with their coats off. Two miles Of track
per day is being laid.
The Northern Pacific surveying party, I'M
der charge of Mr.. Van vliet reached here
Tuesday on their locating survey from Silver
Bow to mouth of Little Blackfoct, which lat
ter place they will reach on Saturday. Two
lines are run across the Hump divide, the
maximum grade on one being little over
100 feet to the mile, and on the other . little
under 100 feet to the mile. This is merely in
crossing the "hump." The greatest grade
this side is 63 feet to the mile. From "the
crossing" to Deer Lodge the Northern Pa
cifc line is located east of, parallel with and
at minimum distance of 66 feet from the
Utah and Northern. The theory of this is
that If the two roads are to be constructed
this 66 feet will afford all the ground necessa-
ry for building grade; that the removal of
this soil will prevent the growth of grass as
an invitation to cattle between the tracks;
that If 1t is desirable to fence, each company
will have to build only one line of fence, and
that much less land will be taken than if each
road was run Independently. We believe
each company proposes to take fifty feet out
side their line, making total withdrawal of
a strip 166 feet wide for the two roads. If
constructed on this plan what jolly racing
there will be on the long tangents and easy
curves in Deer Lodge valley.
Mr.. John Muir was in town Tuesday night
on his return from Portland to Helena He
informs us the Mullan tunnel contract has
been awarded to him and he has no doubt of
its being built. Up 10 Wednesday $4,000
pounds of the Mullan machinery had pas ,ed
through town from-S. B. j. to the tunnel. 1t
is being hauled by Deer Lodge freighters at
three cents per pound. There are $4,000
pounds yet to ship, exclusive of the boilers.

WARN SPRINGS, Dec. 4th.
DIR. Mussigbrod requested me this
morning, On his way to attend to sick lady
In Upper Valley, to use his name and let you
know that we have reason 10 believe there
is a case Of smallpox in family living with
Spencer johnson. Said family arrived from
the States about one month ago and from
symptoms described to us last night by Miss
Cordie Johnson, who came after medicine,
we are under the impression that smallpox
or something similar is in said newly arrived
family, and think proper To let you know the
facts In order that you may notify tie COM
mittee attending to such cases, and If they see
fit, can ascertain for themselves and the peo-
pie in general the nature Of said skin disease.
Yours truly,

THE Soldiers Reunion at Caldwell,
O., which has come to be one of the
established institutions of the country,
will be held this year on the 9th OF
September. There are many features
about it which distinguish it from ali
other army meetings. One is the re-
latively large number of private sol
diers who take part in it; another is the
accurate reproduction of army life
which is seen in the encampment;
another, the high rank and standing of
the orators of the day who have been
induced by the energetic solicitations
of the Hon. J. M. Dalzell, the perpetual
Secretary of the Reunion, to officiate
in successive years. Gen. Sherman be-
gan the list in 1874; Gen. r.. B. Hayes
followed in 1875; Gen. Fitzpatrick in
1876; President Hayes in 1877; Gen.
Lew Wallace in 1878; and Gen. Garfield
in 1879. AS the New York Tribune re-
marks, the orator for this year is not
yet announced. It is hard to say wheth-
he is tobe congratulated on the .distin-
guished com pany in which he will find
himself, or condoled with on account
of the severe comparisons to which he
will be subjected. The meeting prom
ises to be unusually animated and sue
cessful.

mer and tell him he has been recon-
mended as good man to sell their ma
chimes, and ask him to become theil
agent. He is persuaded that they sell
rapidly, and that he can make large
per cent. profit. He is told that he will
not be expected to risk any money or
pay anything until he has sold 1926
worth of the machines. He is induced
to sign the contract above given, which,
it will be seen, sets forth the agree
ment when read straight across. 1t
looks fair and innocent enough, and
soon the farmer typifed in the forego-
ing document as Thos. Brown, puts his
name in the blank space just before the
words, "Sole Agent for --Com-
pany." Afterwards the scamps easily
change the document from q contract
to sell, into promissory note by tear
ing of that part to the right of the line
drawn through the agreement as print
ed. In the original presented TO the
farmers, of course no line appears; and
it is given here simply to show where
the division takes place, and the sepa-
ration IT which point, so radically
cha ges the nature of the document.
1t will be seen at a glance that this is
liable TO deceive anyone without close
inspection, and a number of Indiana
farmers have been cheated with them
this summer. The last heard of the
gang they were operating extensively
in Bartholomew county. After the
farmers notes get into the hands of "in-
nocent purchasers" there is no re-
course but to pay them off, as they
cannot well 90 back on the signatures.

The Best Way to Keep Tomatoes.

An old Illinois farmer, who is blessed,
as mos. all farmers are, with an excellent
wife, has during the whole year, when
occasion requires it, the choicest toma-
toes served up on his table. In answer
to the question how he was able to
keep them in such an excellent manner,
he replied that it vas the handiwork Of
his wife; that the tomatoes were dried,
which preserved all of their original
qualities. Here is the way she mana
yes them: The fruit TO be fully ripe,
strained through a sieve, slowly cooked
half an hour, then spread on clean
plates and dried in an oven, the whole
process requiring about two days before
the fruit will be ready to be packed
away. 1t will keep for years, and be
just as good and fresh as if just pluck
ed off the vines.

stout, healthy man. offering to furnish
some of his blood if transmission would
save the presidents life.
GUITEAU, the assassin, made a violent
attack on McGill, one of his keepers, with
a knife. Either he was -irritated by the
entrance of the officer into HE cell, or
wished to convey the idea that he is really
insane. The police and warden of the Jail
are trying to suppress the facts in the
matter.
The president experiences some pain
from an inflammation of the parotid
gland, consequent upon his excessive
weakness. The tone of his stomach has
so far improved that it retained koumiss,
beef extract, and milk cruel, given at his
own request. a..
