SENATOR EDMUNDS IN
MONTANA.

A prominent mining man of Butte
returned to-day from brief bust
ness trip to Helena. At Deer Lodge
he met Senator Edmunds and had q
long talk with that eminent states
man. The conversation was wholly
upon the subject of Montana s mines,
in which the acting vice-president
seemed to make an active and intel
ligent interest. He inquired partic-
ularly about Butte, and asked full
information about the product of the
district, the characteristics of the
mines, and the various processes of
reducing ore. After hearing about
the extent of the district, the mills
and smelters, and the mammoth ma
chinery, the senator expressed great
regret that circumstances prevented
his visiting Butte, and expressed a
hope that at some future time he
might enjoy that pleasure. The
distinguished gentleman has left fo1
Helena, accompanied by his party
and Vice-President Cakes. He i'm
pressed the gentleman from Butte
as being a man of commanding in
telligence, magnetism, moral cour.
age, indomitable will, and great
physical endurance. Personally he
is genial, entertaining, and compani
ionable, and makes an instantaneous,
favorable impression. He will b.
the guest of S. I. Houser while il
Helena.

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

By letters from 400 different points
throughout the country the New
York Times has made q canvass of
presidential preferences among the
people, and given it to the public.
Although the figures cannot be relied
upon as showing the real chances of
any candidate, yet they afford
means of pleasant speculation.
About forty men in each of the two
great parties seem to be thought of
but large portion of public senti-
ment centers upon some half dozen
persons in each. Mr. Blaine leads
the republicans, having nearly one
third of the number of points where
a choice is expressed. Maine cordi-
ally supports her favorite son, who is
strongly backed in the Middle and
Western states. Arthur's name is
second in prominence, but as the
points of expression in his favor are
scattered throughout the entire coun-
try, the fact makes a marked and
strong feature in the canvass. Next
to him comes Edmunds, who seems
to be second choice also of a large
majority. Following Grant, Senator
Sherman, and Logan, comes Robert
T. Lincoln. The few remaining
points express their preferences for
some local name as q rule. Among
the democrats every state but seven
has some favorable point for Mr.
Tilden, but the old ticket is not so
favorably received. Mcdonald finds
many friends among the southern
and central western states, but is
crowded out by the ''Sage of Gram
ercy'' in the other portions of the
country. Bayard and Hancock find
favorable mention next in order.
Butler has a little boom existing
mostly in Massachusetts, and the re-
naming points are divided as in the
republican camp among local favor
ties. AS already intimated the can
vass has about as much value as if it
had been taken on the cars, and mere
| ly spreads out a broad field for spec
ulation as to who may be the oppos-
ing candidates in the next presidents
al contest.

FLOOD AT SPRINGFIELD,
VERMONT.

On July II, Springfield was visited
by the most disastrous storm and
flood in its history. The afternoon
had been stormy and the air full of
electricity, when, about 2.20 O'Clock,
almost without warning, wall of
water came rushing down Valley
street, otherwise known as the Brook
road, and soon Main street was a
river. the water at times being fully
six feet deep. The center of the
storm seems to have been about a
half or three-quarters of mile north
west of the town farm, and the hills
on all sides sent a flood into the val
ley. Eight bridges were swept away
and miles of highway quilted. Three
houses and as many barns were swept
away or demolished, while several
other buildings were undermined and
otherwise damaged. A horse and
buggy came floating down Main
street from Hart & Dodge's stable,
followed later by buggies, etc. AT
the hotel crossing the almost exhaust
ed animal gained footing and drag
ged the carriage out, complete
wreck. Ellison Bros, lost a valu-
able horse, two others being injured.
besides other stable property. The
horse was washed down Main street
over the falls bridge and cab shoL
dam, and was found floating in the
pond below. At the hotel, water
poured out at the windows, the build
ing was undermined and severa
rooms have caved in. In fact, al
along the track of the flood building
fields and highways were more o
less damaged. Nothing could b
done to stay the torrent, which con
tinued for about an hour and the
began to subdue. The course of tn
water was strewn with debris of ever
timber, carriages, furniture
tools, garden stuff, etc. No live
were. lost, though several person
lost their footing in trying to reach
place of safety, but assistance was in
mediately given. Escape from the he
tel was made by the way of ladder
from the second story windows. Til
damage is estimated at $40, 900, bl
, some time must elapse before tt
real loss is known.

Miss Van Lew, who has been late
ly been appointed to position in
the postoffice department, is noted
for her pluck. During the war,
Union soldiers confined in the notori-
Gus Libby warehouse were frequently
aided by Miss Van Lew to escape,
and her house was refuge in the
latter days of the rebellion for num-
erous escaped prisoners. So often
sive had Miss Van Lew become to
her rebel neighbors that two nights
before the evacuation of Richmond a
mob was organized to burn her house
down. She pluckily defed them, and
calling the ringleaders by name, she
informed them that General Grant
would be in Richmond within twenty.
four hours, and that if shingle Of
her house was disturbed, she would
retaliate in kind when the Unio1
forces arrived.

In Kansas City, Mo-, last Sunday,
the liquor shops and hotel bars re-
manned closed in obedience to the re-
eurements of the new Sunday law
In the central part of the city only
one shop kept open in defiance OF
the laws. This action was taken un-
influenced by the police authorities,
as no order has been issued. The
tobacco stores and other lines of bus.
mess generally, except drug stores
were also closed. Only three arrests
for drunkenness were made, the usua
Sunday average being about twenty
nine. No arrests were made for VIC
lation of the law, but the police were
instructed to report the names of al
offenders; The gardens were open
but sold no beer. The quiet enforce
ment of such law in all our cities
would be long step towards tn,
millennium.

plicity in any of the operations in

seems to be an effort by a faction of

of the Rutland road of which Mr..
Page is now president, and the war
upon him undoubtedly has this for
its real object.
The A1yus man, not being present
bodily, at the Vermont Editorial
meeting, held at Newport recently,
considers it small affair. Well, it
was not as well attended as it should
have been, but if Mr.. Atkins and
other members chose to deprive
themselves of a pleasant opportuni-
ty of meeting the craft at one of the
pleasantest places in the state, it
cannot be helped. The 1rgus states
that only six editors of the state were
present. The facts are that there
were more than twice that number
with several foremen of newspaper
Offices and job printers the agent of
the Associated Press, the Boston
Journals state agent and others in
terested in the press of the state.
Mr.. Atkins would have been a well
come visitor had he seen fit to have
been present and had he enjoyed
the privilege of the meeting he,
doubtless, would have had less of the
''sour grapes to have talked about,
President Swan, of the BellOaos
Falls Times, who publishes one OF
the best papers in the state, says:
1.-The attendance upon this annual
gathering of the Vermont press was
not as large as on some fomer occa.
sions, but was nearly up to the aver.
age. There were between twenty
and thirty editors and proprietors Of
newspapers present, and the discus.
sion on the subject of advertising

Tuesday and Wednesday evening:
was more at length than at any form
er meeting, and the feeling was unan
imous that it had been of value K
the press fraternity, and since we be
gan to write this article we have re
ceived call from one of the Massa
chusetts press association from whom
we learn that the same subject ha
been considered by them in a simila
manner, at least in the suburban
press association of that state the

ton and reap valuable results. AS
whole it was one of the best of tn
Vermont press association meetings
and will long be remembered by a
who were present.

BITTER BREAD.-Complaint is frequent
ly made by those who use baking powders
that they leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
raised by them a disagreeabie, bitter
taste. This taste follows the use of all
impure baking powders, and is caused by
either their containing alum introduced
to make cheap article), by the impure
and adGltefated character of other ingre-
dents used, or from the ignorance of
their manufacturers Of the proper meth
DDS of combining them. These baking
powders leave in the bread a residuum
formed of lime, earth, alum, or other de-
leterious matters, not always, though fire.
quently, tastable in the food, and by all
physicians ciassed as injurious to health.
The Royal Baking Powder is free from
this serious defect. In its use no resi-
dunn is left, and the loaf raised by it is
always sweet, light and wholesome, and
noticeably free from the peculiar taste
complained of. The reason of this is be.
cause it is composed of nothing but abso
lutely pure materials, scientifically com
bined in exactly the proper proportions o.
acid and alkali to act upon and destroy
each other, while producing the larges
amount Of raising power. We are just
fled in this assertion from the unqualified
statements made by the Government
/ chemists, who after thorough and ex
haustive tests recommended the s'Royal
| for Governmental use because of its supe
/ riority over all others in purity, strength
and wholesomeness. There is no DANCE
of bitter bread or biscuit where it alon
4 is used.

Roger Amero, the alleged murder
er of Mrs. Carlton of Watertown,
Mass, has failed in his attempt to
escape extradition and trial, on the
ground of technical errors in process,
and lack of evidence to justify his
detention. The supreme court of
Nova Scotia, from which there is no
appeal in eXtradition cases, denies
the application for discharge, and
very sensibly says that if it were nee
essary to review the question of the
sufficiency of evidence there would
be no doubt of the rightfulness of
Amero's commitment. He will ac-
cordingly be brought to Boston for
trial.

as possible the men are leaving.
The present mining company will not
resume work, and the mines will lie
idle for the rest of this year at least.
Gov. Barstow visited Vershire last
week to see that the miners were
paid and to satisfy himself more fully
as to the necessity which existed for
calling out the militia. Before leav-

self as feeling perfectly justified in
taking the course he did.
