On Thursday night last, Jno. g. Smith,
of Virginia City, was carried into DR..
Monroe's drug store and in a few mo-
ments was lifeless. Mr. Smith is propri-
etor of the Madison house at Virginia
City, and came to Bozeman to meet his
wife, who has been spending several
weeks among her relatives in Ohio and
Illinois. Before starting he was suffering
a slight indisposition caused by dis
ordered stomach, and at Red Bluff ate
heartily of boiled cabbage. Upon arriv-
ing at Col. Edwards place he requested
that gentleman to give him some soda
and water, which was done, and as he
got no better Mr. Edwards accompanied
him to Bozeman. As he felt some better
when they reached Monforton's ranch
they concluded to push forward to Boze-
man with all possible speed and arrived
here about dark. When within two
miles of town Smith asked the distance
yet to travel and then gasped and to all
outward appearance was dead. On
reaching the drug store the limp body
was carried in and it was found that he
still breathed, but in few moments gave
a convulsive shudder and was dead. The
Masons then took charge of the body and
on Friday A. d. Mcpherson started to
Virginia with it. On Saturday morning
Mrs. Smith was met at the train by Mr..
H. Pease, who has known the family for
a long time. After reaching his house he
broke the sad news rs gently as possible
to the woman, who had spoken Of her
delightful trip, was anxious to see her
husband and was in the highest spirits.
Her actions for almost two hours were
those of a crazed person and it waswith
the greatest difficulty that Mr.. and Mrs.
Pease got her to compose herself suffic-
iently to take the waiting carriage which
would take her to her home and dead
husband. Mr.. Smith was about forty
years old, has no children and was
popular citizen of his town. Taken
altogether the circumstances are the
saddest we have been called upon to
chronicle for some time.

Henry Wizards excursion train, the
largest and most magnificent that ever
crossed the American continent, contain
ed forty-five coaches and every coach
was palace home of itself There were
forty-three homes ON wheels and in
each group of jolly, brainy, moneyed
men were most comfortably situated.
The party is divided into four sections,
each of which was pulled by two. power
full engines. Each section has special
operator and o. c. Green, the company's
superintendent Of telegraphy, took
charge Of this department of section
number one. These men are carried
for service in case Of accidents or when
the regular operators at stations cannot
meet the demands of the party: The
finest dining and sleeping cars are in
use and nothing in the line of food or
drink is reserved from the tables of the
palace dining rooms.

On and after Monday, Sept. 8, 1888,
all postmasters at Money Order offices
are authorized and required on applica-
ton to issue to applicants postal notes
for sums in any amount not exceeding
$3.50. The cost of these will be what
the face calls for and three cents addi-
tional. They are payable to bearer,
and hence can be used by any one at
the office on which they are drawn.
They are not in this respect any safer than
currency, the advantage being in the
fact that they can be procured for exact
amounts. For instance any one owing
1922 in New York, by paying 1926 at
his home can get postal note on New
York for 1922, and enclose it at his own
risk Just as he would . National bank
note.

BOzeman's PARK Road.

Engineer S. Bundock has been engag-
ed by the county commissioners to
examine and report upon the construct
ion of good wagon road from Bozeman
to the National Park via the West Gala
tin. This is a move in the right direct
ion, and when completed the road will
not only be great convenience for
travellers and tourists, but will be a great
benefit to Gallatin county at large. Two
years ago committee of three, consist
ing of Peter Koch, Geo. w. Wakefield
and Walter Cooper were appointed to
make a preliminary examination of the
West Gallatin. route, and were requested
to report as to its probability as railroad
route to the Park. This committee pass
ed up the West Gallatin, finding not only
practicable railroad route, but found
that a wagon road could be made with
out encountering any serious obstacles,
there being no steep grades to overcome,
the road will follow up the West Gallatin
to Summit Pond, on the divide between
the West Gallatin and the Madison
rivers. The Gallatin is described as one
of the most beautiful streams in the
west, in which was found an abundance
of mountain trout. The scenery is con-
sidered more picturesque and varied
than by any other route to the Park. By
this new route large and beautiful val
ley will be opened to settlement, also
immense tracts of hay, coal and timber
lands will at once become accessible to
the people Of Gallatin valley. Running
through the Upper Gallatin valley, as it
is very properly called, will be found a
perfect net work of beautiful mountain
streams, alive with trout, and at their
head vast forests of fine timber with an
abundance of all kinds of game. These
solitudes have as yet scarcely been DIS
turbed by the hunters or anglers, and it
cannot fail to become a very popular
route for tourists entering the Park. The
distance from Bozeman to the Geyser
Basin will be about "A miles farther than
it is from the end of the Park Branch, or
about one hundred and forty miles from
Bozeman to the hotel at Mammoth Hot
Springs, via the West Gallatin and the
Geyser Basin. Mr.. Bundock is an en-
gineer of high standing, late of the
Northern Pacific survey, and will on his
return be able to furnish close estimate
of the cost Of construction. Mr.. W. J.
Alden, who has the contract for grading
the streets of Bozeman, will also 60 over
the ground with Mr.. Bundock and bid
on the work. Persons desiring to bid
are invited to go and look over the
ground, and will have access to Mr.. Bun
docks notes and report, and will be
given such information as he can give.

While the Presidential party were
camped at the Yellowstone Falls, when
all, tired with the days exertion, were
lying in happy silence around their
camp fires, Senator Vest, Surrogate Row.
Inns and Gen. Stsger, of the Western
Union, concluded, as the busy world
would soon claim them, to have some
fun, so going to sheridan's empty tent
the three transformed themselves into
military men with the clothes found
there. Vest and Rawlins let their left
coat sleeves hang loose to represent one
armed men. Capt. Gregory took them
to Sheridan's camp fire and introduced
them as Gen. Fairchild, and Gen. How
ard. Sheridan jumped up and greeted
Falrchild as an old fried, but just then a
flash from the fire lit up Stager's face,
and Phil saw at once twas play. Lik-
ing the farce he took them to the Presi-
dents fire, and stopping them in its
shadows solemnly introduced the party.
Mr.. Vest, in his character Of Gen. Fair
child, said, Il, in common with all of my
countrymen, have wished to make the
acquaintance of the first Magistrate of
that nation for which / suffered. for
which Cooking at his empty sleeve) l
bled, and for which I would gladly die,
would dying benefit it. I am glad to-
night to have met you by this bright
camp fire, under these romantic pines
that stretch their ghastly shadows afar-
near these wonderful falls, whose throb-
bling heart-beats we 80 plainly hear
which will beat through the eternal ages
when we are dust; and that beautiful
canyon from whose glowing sides moth
er nature received her first idea of color.
To have met you under these-"Oh, give
us a rest" said the President, who had
tumbled. General turning to Sheridan)
will you order basket of wine, and by
the way, Col. Baronett, is there any
chance for fishing on the trail tomorrow.
Many papers have had the item that the
President was worn out. But instead,
the facts are, that he has had jolly
time, that he has had fishing to his
hearts content, and goes home refreshed
and thoroughly satisfied with his trip.
