Paraso1 Tactics.

Philadelphia Progress: Ladies select
With care the color Of the Innings Of their
parasols SO as to form an effective back
ground when the fair one lays it care
lessly ~ over her shoulder. A CORES
pondent, who has delved into the mys-
steries Of the subject writes that if chosen
wisely the lining brings out all the
points, not only of the complexion, but
OF the hair and ewes Brunettes are
best suited with a sshrinsp pink, and
blondes with a Nile green. Much
thought is required to decide which color
will do for always; when the lady is
flushed, when she is pale, etc. All sorts
of odd handles arc used for parasols.
They are Of cherry, ash, or twisted viii
low, IN simple crutch or straight stick
fashion. Those Of whangee are
coiled to form true love knots. Some
have champagne cork for tip. There
are unique lockwood handles, that have
knobs formed Of the mana root in its
natural snaps. A large ribbon bow must
be fastened to all handles just above
where the hand grasps the stick.

Death of Samuel Neel

1t becomes our sad duty in this issue
to record the death Of one Of the fore
most business lnen OF Montana, Samuel
Neol who died at his residence in
Helena yesterday at thirty minutes past
one o'clock. His critical condition was
known to his friends i'll Benton, but as
the report OF the preceding day was
more favorable, it was hoped that lie
would recover. But such was not the
decree of fate, and al that was mortal of
samuel Neel has passed away.
The deceased was o member Of the
well known Montana house of Murphy,
Neel & Co., and was known and
esteemed BY nearly everybody in the
territory. He was pre-eminently a self
made man. In 1866 he came to Mon
tana without dollar, entering the house
of Tutt & Donnell, OF Helena, as book
keeper. Here his business tact soon
asserted itself, and when a year or two
afterwards r. w. Donnell withdrew
from the firm, Mr.. Neel was given an
interest, the firm being known as Tut,
Murphy & Neel. Afterwards Thos. f.
Tut retired, and the firm Of Murphy.
Neel & Co. WAS organized. The de-
ceased had been active in advancing the
interests of the house, and to his efforts
inno small degree is. due the success it
has met IN q business way.
Samuel NeeI was one of natures noble
men. He was honest to the core, and in
all his varied business experience in
Montana, triclsery or dishonesty is the
last charge that can be made against
him. He was such q man as will be
missed in the territory, and Benton as
well as Helena will feel the loss keenly.
Col. j. III. Rice, manager of the busi-
ness Of Murphy, Neel & Co. at Benton,
as well as the several employees at the
store, were deeply affected blythe an
nouncement Of Mr.. Neels death, as they
all regarded him with the very highest
respect The store was closed at once
out of respect TO the deceased member of
the firm.
Mr.. Neel was cut down IN the very
prime Of life, he being but thirly-five
years of age "A wife and four children
remain to mourn his loss, and they will
have the sincere sympathy Of many
throughout Montana in their great af1lic-
ti0n.

HELENA. June 30, 1882.

Special Dispatch TO the Daily River Press
The excitement over the execution of
Guiteau in Washington is reported as
having been very great, and at the hour
OF the execution immense crowds had
gathered about the news centers to learn
the result or any news concerning the
affair. Nearly everybody was disap-
pointed in the expectation that he would
break down, as he proved as gamey' a
could wish for. Everything was in per-
feet readiness for the work, even down
to the smallest details, and Of course it
passed off without a mishap or blunder.
When given an opportunity to speak,
the condemned man demonstrated that
he had lost none Of his glibness of tongue.
He maintained that he acted by inspira-
ton when he shot President Garfield,
and in his most tragic manner con-
demned the president, cabinet, Judges,
district attorney and others to hell!
His neck was broken by the fall, aIll1
not 8 movement Of his limbs or body wss
seen. Death ensued instantly.

Further Particulars of the Crank's TAX
ing Of.
The following are the bulletins setting
forth the progress Of q very important
event at Washington, near the hour Of
noon on Friday, June 30th. We take
the report from the columns of last even
ing's Record:
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Early this
morning the prisoners in that part Of the
Jail looking into the court where the
scaffold stands We're all removed to other
quarters and locked in cells. The jail
officers then had a rehearsal of the part
they were to play i'll the execution, for
the purpose chiefly Of testing the appli-
ances of the gallows. A bag of sand
weighing 100 pounds was attached to a
moose and the trap sprung by means of
a trigger rope, which was passed into
one Of the cells.
Gulteau began to arrange his dress,
pulling on a pair of navy-blue trousers.
At 1920 the guard called out Of the door
now. and wants the flowers The
guard who took the message hurried off
and soon returned with DR.. Hicks, who
went into the cell Glliteau was report
ed by tho guard to be apparently COM
posed; his message about the flowers re-
ferred to his expectation that Mrs. SEQ
vile would send some flowers to him,
but none had arrived at the time he
test we'll
At 10 o'clock DR.. Hicks and John w.
Guiteau went with Gen. Croker to the
scaffold, and, together with number of
guards, John w. Guiteau ascended the
steps and carefully examined the struc-
ture, handling carefully and inspecting
all the fixtures both above and below
tho platform.
A telegram from New York, signed
y. B.. Bonnell = was received about 10
o'clock by DR.. Hicks, asking if he could
obtain possession of Guiteau's body to
exhibit for the benefit of the Young
Mems Christian Association. No atten-
ton was paid to the message.
The order of the procession to the
scaffold as agreed upon was sls follows:
Warden Crocker and his officers will ap-
pear first, followed by Dir. Hicks; then
viii come the guards, Coleman and
Woodward; behind them will walk, two
by two, Jones, Hudson, Johnson and
Croker, four jail officials, the latter i
brother of the warden. 80
At 10 o'clock seventy policemen az
rived at the jail and were posted along
the roadway outside Of the building. In
addition to the regular Jail guards, all
available men of battery G, Second
United States artillery, were on duty at
the jail.
Shortly before II o'clock 0ulteau
called for paper, and for twenty minutes
busted himself in making what ne
termed his prayer on the scaffold. As
his hands will be pinioned at his back,
DR.. Hicks will hold the paper while
Guiteau reads. Now that he is employed
he appears much calmer, and is rapidly

BENTON'S BoULEvARDS.
A Big Scheme on Foot to Construct Drive
way Around the Butte.

The land inthe valley or coulee around
the butte, back Of the town, is owned by
Messrs L. G. Power, Sanders, Lockey
and Beattie, OF Helena. Beginning at
the west side of the Fitzpatrick claim,
they own all the land around the butte
as far as Deletraz's addition, and a
scheme is now on foot to construct a
broad street 81 bollIeyards, one hundred
feet in width completing the circle by
connection with the streets of Benton.
1t is proposed to make a good grade,
having the driveway perfectly level, and
plant shade trees on either side. But as
the trees would nat grow ur and flourish
without water, it is intended to bring a
stream from the Missouri or Teton,
which ever is the most practicable.
Various other details have been mapped
out, but these are the principal purposes
70 be attained.
What a grand thing this would be for
Benton! The project if carried out as
suggested would give US in time drive
that would vie with the boulevards of
Of Paris The property adjacent would
at once become of great value and along
the street or drive would be built the
finest residences, the future palaces of
the river metropolis. AS drive what
could equal it: Just imagine the spec
tacle that would be presented, say in
1SQ0 with Rnnfar fit of 00l io
and the boulevards,a thing of beauty and
a JOY forever. What q number Of dash
ing turn-outs would meet the view OH
every hand such pleasant evenings as
these!
All that is required to make the Ben
ton boulevards a success is capital, and
as the gentlemen mentioned have abun-
dance OF it why may we not anticipate
the speedy execution of the project. Mr..
L. c. Power, who is perhaps more largely
interested than the others. is enthusias-
tic in its favor. Fl he could secure the
cooperation Of the other gentlemen lie
would not delay a day in carrying into
effect the proposed scheme. He has
been talking it up long time and is
more hopeful now than ever before Of
success. He believes that the invest
ment would not only beautify and benefit
Benton, but prove a paying one for those
directly interested. Us the money ex-
pended would be returned many fold by
the enhanced value Of their lands
adjacent. BY all means let us have the
boulevards Benton will lend all the
assistance and encouragement possible.
