deposits of silver in the Barker District
were kEowa to exist by nen who died
years before. the present discoverers had
thought of looking for them, much less TO
take and work claims, and it is believed
BY all who have visited the Belt Mountains
that much richer mines exist in that and
other regions, than have yet been discov-

These facts are Of sufficient Importance to
add interest to this section Of Montana at
the present time, although, mining was
not considered one OF our resources a few
years ago. II <leaid also add to the value
Of property IN every part OF Choteau
County, for while the mineral resources %
nearly every other county il Montana are
known OF correctly estimated, enough only
Of those Of Cheteau and Meagher counties

New YORK, Nov. 20.-Annie Charlton,
aged IS, Of 800 West Twentieth street, and
Elizabeth Doyle of the same age, who
lives with her parents at 302 West Nine
teenth street, entered the Twentieth street
police station last night. They were very
pale, and laughed Historically and cried.
Sergeant Lonstlale asked what was the
matter. Tho girls replied that they had
taken poison, and were sorry for it. They
asked the Sergeant to send for doctor.
Annie Charlton tottered and would have
fallen but for Doornan Pearson, The
Sergeant telegraphed for an ambulance,
and sent for DIR. Mcneil. The doctor
quickly arrived and relieved the girls, but
Annie Charlton was SO sick that she had
to be taken to the New York Hospital.
From the girls stories it appears that
Annie Charlton, whose husband is in
prison., became discouraged. Meeting
Elizabeth Doyle, who ohas also had trouble
lately, they INDUCED in drink, and then
agreed to commit suicide. Elizabeth Doyle,
remembered that her mother had got an
eyewash labelled poison from Bellevue
Hospital. Leaving Annie Charlton OUT
side her house, she went up stairs and got
the bottle. The girls then walked up
Ninth avenue to Twentieth street, and in
. quiet spot drank from the bottle, which
is said to have contained a mixture of TO-
dine and sugar Of lead. Annie Charlton
drank first and swallowed half the con-
tents. Then the other took . swallow, but
becoming frightened, threw the bottle
away. Broken pieces Of il, with the label
were afterwards found
Sergeant Lonsdale said Annie Charlton
had once before attempted 70 take her life.
Shortly after her marriage her husband
was arrested and size took Paris green.
She then had marrow escape.

OUR NORTHERN NEIEHBORS

The .3hrewdest business men Of Benton
have always regarded the settlement OF
the Northwest as most essential to
the permant prosperity Of Choteau county.
Previous to the arrival Of the Mounted
Police the future of the Northwest Terli-
tory was not, TO say the least, at all en-
couraging, and Benton could not have pro-
fitted much by any confidence that was felt
in it's early settlement, and the deveop-
ment of its resources, which were them
selves doubtful. AS Northern Montana
even was not considered a good stock Or
agricultural country, it may be supposed
that any Territory north Of it could not De
considered favorable to those industries.
But in spite of adverse reports from such
men as Hazen and two other military COM
manders and several Indian agents who
held positions in our Territory prior to
1870. Choteau county was proved to be
one of the finest stock and agricultural
counties in Montana, which is equivalent
to saying one of the finest OH the globe.
This encouraged our Northern neighbors
to investigate the qualities Of their own
soil, which they did with the most salts
factory results. . =
The Northwest Territory is without
doubt one of the finest wheat countries in
America, and for stock raising tits equally
| unsurpassed. 1t is also provided with
| practically unlimited coal mines, contain
ing an article OF fuel much superior to
any yet discovered in Montana. 1t also
has abundant evidences Of mineral wealth
which, with the advent OF the Canadian
Pacific next year, will alone bring q
tide of immigration greater than
which nocked to California, Colorado
| Montana or the Black Hills. AS this i'm
migration will set in about the time Of the
completion Of the Northern Pacific, we
should have strangers fiocking TO us from
the South Us well as from the North, moi
to mention tho influx from the Utah Nor
thern railroad and by way Of the Missouri
river, and ii is more than probable thai

/ LONDON, Nov. 15.--A despatch from
New Haven says that the third officer,
tive quartermasters, and three settl1ell,
constituting the crew Of the boat sent from
the steamer Westphalia, in search of the
steamer which was in collision with the
Westphalia, have been landed there by a
Belgian pilot boat The third officer re-
ports that after pulling about for. nearly
two hours he saw the vessel go down about
300 yards distant, but was unable to ascer-
tain her name or nationality. He saw
flames burst forth from the steamer before
she sank.
The Westphalia was surveyed IN the
dock to-day. The damage on the starboard
side extends from the stern to forty feet
aft, and on the port side from the stern TO
fifteen feet aft. The hole on the port side
is nine feet across. A large piece of the
steamer with which she was in collision,
including some frames, is sticking in the
hole. The Westphalia's stem appears to
be sound. The vessels seem to have met
stem 10 stem. After striking. the West
phalia on the port side, it's probable that
the other steamer swung round and scrap
ed along the Westphalia's starboard side.
The latter vessel, despite tile extensive
damage she sustained, according to the
latest account, waited six hours before
making for . port Of refuge.

The Oriole.
It's SEPTEMBER FESTIVITIES IN BALTIMORE


In 1881 the Orioie display was purely ex-
detrimental, and owing to the inexperlencc
of those who had the affair in charge the re-
suit was very far from being as brilliant or
successful as had been anticipated, though
money was not wanting to secure lar differ
ent enAs had IL been properly applied
Since then, however, the Order of the Oriole
has been organized on II basis somewhat
similar W the Mard Gras secret orders of
New Orleans. A large and intelligent com
mittee was sent To the Crescent City last
March TO witness the Mardi Gras process
sions, and subcommittee penetrated the
sanctum sanctorum Of the most exclusive
of the orders, and tho veil was lifted for the
first time to the gaze of non-residents This
initiation of several energetic and intclli-
gentegoung Baltimore business men fur
nished the key for the work which for the
past three months has been steadily pur-
sued in secret In this work, too, the Order
of the Oriolc has been stimulated by an am
bition TO present results which will do no
discredit 10 the New Orleans sponsors, who
will be LARGELY invited to the celebration
and most royalty entertained without cost.
The pageant will have as the rGtson detre
that ii is for the celebration Of the anniver
sary of the defense Of Baltimore, the hero
ism of those who held Fort McHenry against
the British fleet, and the birth of the song of
the tar.Spangled Banner" In all the his
tory of Baltimore, the city has never wit
messed such celebration Of these events
as this September will present under the
auspices Of the Order Of the Oriolc. In
addition 10 this patriotic foundation bust
ness will be combined with sentiment and
pleasure. The celebration will inauguratc

The maryland Cattle Interest-Ma-

| ryland stock-breeders held meeting in Bal
timore on "Wednesday last and pleuro-pnue-
monia was the topic that mostly absorbed
the attention OF the meeting. The meeting
resolved to assist the Governor in the en-
forcement of the law OF 1880, relating to
this cattle disease, and, among other speak
ers, DIR. w. II. Rose, veterinary surgeon of
the United States agricultural commission
ers' department, and who had been detailed
to look after pleuro-pnuemoniai in Maryland,
addressed the meeting. He detailed the par
ticulars attending the disease among the
herds Of Mr.. Slade, near White Hall, Balti-
more county, and Mr. Moore, of Sandy
Springs, this county, where he said the cases
were clearly defined and had been reported
TO Washington. He described the disease as
both contagious and infectious, and said the
dairy stables about the city are pest places
that should be abolished. AS long as they
remain the disease will exist. He was sur
prised that any cattle-breeder should say it
does not exist in tho counties he named. He
had kept his movements in looking up the
disease as quiet as he could, and his action
has been dictated by regard for the best
interests of the breeders. The disease is
transmitted by the sale of cows from in
fected herds, and now has new nest in this
county Quarantine is not generally strict
enough. The ANIMALS should be destroyed
or entirely isolated.

the city, and on Tuesday found case in
South Baltimore under treatment. All cases
unfortunately do not die, but convalescents
can transmit the disease for three months,
and clean cattle suffer by contact with Them
There is no protection against such, and
dealers can buy and sell these animals
There is no spontaneous case; all come
from contact with the disease in some form;
ton is for the State to give the veterinary
surgeon more power The infected animals
are not watched closely enough. 1t would
not cost much to watch where they go and
whence they have come. The dairy stables
are so thoroughly infected that he did not
know what is to be done about them. Moth
ing short of applying the axe will suffice,
for they are infected six or seven inches
in their soil and up to the roofs Inocula-
ton against the disease is now being tried
thoroughly on Mr.. SHADES place, and DR..
Rose said he hopes for much from inocula-
ton. But he wanted the improved stock
breeders to clean it out and get rid of the
dread disease by stringent measures, The
first accurately defined cases here date back
to 1868, and since then it has been trans
mitted. 1t got into Virginia from Wash

cities, and the dairy stables spread it, 1t is
