Notice to Farmers.

The undersigned has made the preliminary
arrangements Tor the erection of a FIGURING
Mill at Benton, but as there is not seed
wheat enough in this section of the country
to raise a sufficiently large crop Of wheat
this year to keep a mill in operation, I must
postpone the completion of the same until
next season. Meantime, l would sugp est
that farmers SOW as much wheat as they can
procure this spring so that there will be an
abundance of seed for next year, when / will
be prepared to grind the grain into flour. AS
an evidence of good faith, I will State that I
am now saving the timber for the mill, and
will proceed this saxon as far as practicable
to complete the building and procure the ma
chinery. The mill will be located at Benton
and will be IN extensive and complete affair.
Respectfully,
W. O. DEXTER.

Quite a colony of Iowa people, headed by
Samuel and VIM. G. Marshall, arrived in
Helena Thursday evening. They will settle
near Canyon Ferry and engage in the stock
business. The former named of these gen.
tleman has been a resident of the above sec
ton for fifteen years. He Informed the re-
porter yesterday that a heavy emigration
from Iowa to Mountains may be looked for
next summer Independent.
There are three hundred men at work on
the g Jade of the Helena branch of the Utah
& Northern railroad and it is believed that it
is the intention of the company to push the
road through to the Capital as speedily as
possible. If this is the programme, and all
the indications point that way, the cars will
pull into Helena as early as next fall. Ben
ton will then be the next objective point,
and no doubt will be reached during the year
1883.

The Coulson Post is the last addition to
Montana's rapidly growing list of news
papers, the first number of which was
received here last week. The Post
is a fve-column folio, patent inside, and
for so young a town as Coulson presents a
very good appearance. 1t is newsy and in
teresting, nearly all its space being devoted
to Booming Coulson and the Yellowstone
valley. A. K. Yerkes is the editor and pub
Usher. He announces that his first Care
will be to keep out of the uncomfortable
embrace of Poverty, and what spare time he
has will be devoted to advancing the welfare
of Eastern Montana. We hope the Post
will grow to be a power in the beautiful val
ley OF its birth.

The Miners Union Hall, at Butte, tum-

The frost and hurried work in building
are the causes assigned for the fall of the
structure. Butte is certainly in bad luck in the
matter of public buildings. Only last fall
the new school house, costing several thous-
and dollars, was condemned as unsafe. The
architects and builders of these tumble down
structures should be given the G. B.

Fire.

Dover, N. H., May "a fire yes
terday destroyed several buildings
and partially destroyed the Washing
ton Street Baptist Church. In the
afternoon storm arose and about
twenty persons, principally visitors
from surrounding towns, took refuge
in the above named church for shell
ter from the rain and hail. While
the storm progressed the walls OF
the church fell in and buried several
persons under the partially burned
door of the second door. Every
body was supposed to have been
rescued with no more serious
injury than bruises or broken arms.
The extent of the disaster was not
realized until to-day, when the dis
covery was made that Judge John R.
|Varney, one of the editors and pro-
prietors of the Dover Enquirer, was
missing. Close search was made in
the runs and Varney's body was
found crushed to pieces. He was 63
years old, prominent lawer and
politician, formerly professor OF
mathematics in the Dartmouth Col
lege, and a law partner of the late
Senator John P. Sale.

Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.

Of Wyoming Territory, in his lecture
ION woman suffrage last evening be-
sfore large audience in Association

Wyoming Territory, where women
are citizens and hold the same civil
rights as men, I have not heard OF

woman suffrage was obtained in

The Capture OF Santa Anna at San
JacintO.

Capt. James A. Sylvester, Of NeW|
Orleans, who captured President
Santa Anna, of Mexico, at the battleI
of San Jacinto, died last week. The
story of the capture is told as fol
lows: ''It was by accident, while
hunting through the high grass
which covered the plain on which
the battle of San Jacinto was fought,
that Private Sylvester stumbled up
on a Mexican enveloped IN com
mon soldiers blanket. The first inn
preston was to shoot him, but the
Mexican, throwing up his arms, CRIED
out for quarter, and surrendered
himself. Sylvester viewed him close
iy, and on inquiry, was told by his
prisoner that he belonged to the
Mexican cavalry, and was only :
common soldier, pointing to his
coarse shoes and clothing IN proof
thereof. But the sharp eye OF the
young soldier could not thus be de
ceived, and on showing aside his
Jacket and the cuffs, he discovered
that the underclothing of his captive
was of the finest linen, and very val
liable diamond studs and pin were
revealed Thus detected, the pris-
oner admitted that he belonged te
the Presidents staff, and that his
captor could not only have his costly
jewelry, but it would be made large
iy to his advantage if he would assis'
him to escape to the not dis
tant post Of another division of the
Mexican army, which had been or
dered to JON Santa Anna at SaI
Jacinto. The reply to this pre- posi-
tion was an imperative order, en-
phasized by the aiming OF an uner
ring rifle at his boy, to get up ant
forward march back to camp. Oh
the arrival at Houstons headQuar
ters, which had no other shelter thai
a large and spreading live-oak tree
a number of prisoners recog gnize
Sylgester's captive and cried :: L
Presidente! Ell Presidente! Th
betrayed, Santa Anna announce
himself to General Houston wit
due dignity, recognized Sylvester a
his captor, and was treated with De
coming magnanimity and courtes
by the Texan commander.
