Accuracy IN Standards Of Measurement.

Few realize the great practical im-
portance of extreme accuracy in stan.
dards OF weight and extension, and it
is not generally known what degree OF
accuracy has been attained in the meas
urement of the standards of lengths
now in use in different countries. The
carpenters foot-rlle and the tailor
yard are familiar articles, but, if
asked. probably neither the carpenter
nor the tailor could tell whether there
is any means by which the true length
of foot or a yard can be determined.
1t is clear, however, that there must be
a standard with which the common
measures should be made to agree, in
order to have the same absolute value.
But we may reflect that the constant
use of any measure will change its
length, and that it will eventually be-
come worn out. We can, then, readily
understand the great value Of an ac-
cepted standard, from which copies
can be made, thus preventing any grad
ual alteration in our measures. Such
standards of reference are properly
held in the custody Of national Gov
ernments, scientific societies and insti-
tutions.
1t is by no means a simple process to
compare one measure with another,
and to determine the variation between
the two, On the contrary, the utmost
skill and long experience are required
for such work. as well as the most elab-
crate and costly apparatus. Allowance
must be made for errors that are so
small as to be almost inappreciable, but
which cannot be eliminated, until they
have been subjected to future investi'
| cations of a very delicate nature. Ev-
cry careful observer will obtain results
which are almost marvelously accordan'
inter Sc; but the results obtained by
two observers, with different instru-
ments, will probably not agree. The
personal equation has not yet been
eliminated from work of this kind.
In the comparison Of weights and
measures, science demands the utmost
accuracy, and 1t would not BIO possible,

like this, to moro than allude to few

Menacing Danger.

They seem to be having a high and sweet old
jury of Choteau county found two Indictment
against one DR.. Will E. Turner, charging
him with rape on the person of a little girl,
and also with adultery. At the last term Of
court III that county from some cause the Dis
trict Attorney notified both the indictments.
This raised the ire O. the Record, it iusinua-
ting that the fact Of Turner's being a rich
man had something to do with The dismissal
of the cases, and saying Turner was lucky III
escaping "a term in the penitentiary. Taking
it all through the Record went for the gentle
mans scalp in a way he abhorred. In retail
iatiOn he amt out in an open letter through
the columns ofthe Riocr Press, and "publicly
branded" the gentlem"n Of the Record as
"~malignant, cowardly, lying poltroons,' clos
ing his mild ard gentle production with the
Significant statement that he could be found
at home any day. Now that looked like
blood. 1t was Of course supposed that Messrs.
Buck and Hunt would at once interview the
gentleman in his own citadel and that at least
two corpses would be left on the field. Such
was not the case. They evidently preferred
10 fight it out in the seclusion OF their sane
tnm, for, ia th4 last issue Of tleir paper, we
find Il reply to Turner's challenge, III which

with a man over whom a criminal inlicl-
mtMt has just been hanging, but express q
Willingness and a burning anxiety to give
I DR.. Turner d .DuSineSS interview and in
deed beg and entreat the gentleman to call at

any aud all times. This is the present situa-
ton of aiiAirs. How it Will ali end, the Deity
alone Knows. For aught any hnman can tell
blood may tlow in unknown quantities, and
we fear thlt al awful danger may be lurking

day and by night. and until things are a lit

After the Reds.

The Bputon HccorA of he 18th inst. con-
Lains the following account Of an eXl"di-
tion against the Indians Nick Welcn came
to town last night from Barker. As he was
coming in he was stopped on tho ShOnkia by
an Indian sentry Of d party of Bucks who
demanded Whcle be was going. The lndi-
ans were a strong party, all young men, and
had with them a band Of horses numbering
about one hundred. They were Of a band Of
Bull-in-tbe-M Middle who claims to be a North
Piegan, but who is really a half breed Blood
and BlackfOot. and is known as "Old-Stingy"
across the line where he belongs. The lndl-
ans with these horses told Mr.. WEIGH that
they would cross the river near the mouth
of Belt or of Highwood creek.
The next day, near Van Hale's place on
the Shonkin, he came upon the old men,
women and children of the party with their
lodges. They were on their way to join
the war party near HunLley's couiee and go
north with them. There were only two or
three young men with them, the others hay
ing gone off with the party with the stolen
horses.
Last night after the news came to town
Sheriff Healey organized a party of six good
men and early this morning they started out

months ago Charles Blum put a stock Of
goods in tie buildiu. he had formerly n"cu-
pied, it not being generally known in whose
Lame the business was conducted, or who
owned the stock. After his death his br0Jhtr
Herman, who lad come on from san Fran

Blum had made IA transfer Of the goods to
him, but owiugto his sudden death had net
signed it Herman gave the key otthc store
to Mr.. Robertson, who had always acted as
the attorney for Charles. A few days afterwards
Mr.. poznainskY, representing Sands Bros,
who claim the goods, put in his appearance,
obtained the key, and was about to enter IN
to possession when Mr.. Blum placed Il pau-
lock on the door, and forbade Sol. to disturb
anything about the premises. The matter
rested in this way for several days. AZ the
end of that time. acting under the advice Of
Mr.. Robinson, "pozy" pried the door open
and proceeded to take possession. Mr.. Blum
Immediately swore out a warrant and had
both the gentlemen arrested for burglary.
Sands Bros. will be astOnished to learn that
their trusted clerk has fallen, while the
friends OF "Houest Jack Robinson will be
panied to hear that the lightes. charge that
will be made against him is that of being an
accessory before the fact. Further develop
ments will be anxiously awaited, and stand

H TERRITORY.

Douglas, the convicted murderer, is under
going the usual ante-gallows experience, and
becoming religious enough to meet the views
of the most enthusiastic believers. He spends
a good deal of his time in praying and talk
ing of things spiritual, and his pious plead
ings are sometimes so vehement as to create
the impression that he is getting to
be a little loose in the upper story.
It is significant, however, that
these fits have only attacked him since the
discovery Of his schemes to escape led to his
being severely ironed; and the belief is al
most universal that the slightest chance to
cheat the gallows of its due would speedily
efface all traces of mental disarraDgement.-

of Sheriff Healy, Al. Hutchinson, Frank
Strong, Tuck Lambert, Milt Carrnthers and
George Rowe. To-day they will ride slow
while looking for the trail which they expect
to strike on this side of the river somewhere
near the mouth of Belt creek. If they come
upon the Indians it is understood that there
will be no nonsense. The horses will be re-
covered and in all probability some red souls
will be sent to the happy hunting grounds.
