"ALEXANDER," the Washington COR
respondent of the Hater-nOuntdin, has
this to say Of the republican outlook,
giving a rather cheerful view Of the sit
uation: 1.-THE political outlook of the
republican party has not been so bright
for two years as it is to-day. The Ohio
republicans, in their late convention to
nominate state officers, sank all personal
differences for the general good. The
fact has had a general revivifying effect
in their political center, and the belief
now generally obtains that the party in
Pennsylvania, New York and other
states, where dissatisfaction has thrown
affairs into the hands of the opposition,
will follow in the wake Of Ohio. In
that event republican success is assured
in the next presidential election, for, of
the nearly one million republican votes
heretofore suppressed in the south, at
least one-quarter of that number will
find expression under the new order Of
things in Virginia and other southern
StateS.O

Two more preliminary heats are to be

water is rather choppy.
The second heat, in which Riley.

joined by Chief Justice Waite and JUS
tice Gray. From there the party will
start on their trip across the continent
along the northern boundary of the
United States for the inspection of all
military posts on the route. Gen. Sher-
man would have postponed his depart
ure until after the funeral of Gen. EW-

for arrival at certain points and escorts
provided to meet the party along the

THOUGH within the last 1O3 years the
world has undergone many changes, the
winning post of the Derby stood in 1880
when Sir Charles Bunberry's Diomed
was the first winner of England's his

Derby day, 1883. In the former time a
George, Prince of Wales, looked on,

of Wales, Albert Edward, with Lord
Grosvenor's grandson, the first Duke of
Westminster, by his side.

What Teller Says.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-In referring
to Gen. Crooks Apache Indian cam
paign, Secretary Teller to-day said he
proposed leaving them in the custody OF
the military until they were thoroughly
tanned. He was impelled to do this for
the reason that the example might have
a good effect upon the future conduct of
the Indians and because the military is
better able to feed and care for a large
number of prisoners than the interior
department, in view of the reduced APP
preparation made by the last congress
for the maintenance of the San Carlos
reservation. There is no difference
upon this point between the wal and in
terror departments.

The following from the Bismarck Iri-
bune reminds us that there is a fortune
in store for somebody who will embark

our leading business men for the estab-
lishment Of a factory here, and all who
have examined into the merits of the
material are DESTROYS of having such an
institution in Bismarck. The stone is
made Of the best English cement and
gravel, and is pronounced by those
who have tested it to be the finest and
most durable building in use. 1t is fur
nished at a much less expense than nat
ural stone, and will last almost as long a
time, hardening and becoming more
firm with exposure to the elements. Tt

Of having the stone identified with the
progress Of Bismarck for two main rea-
sons; first because of the abundance and
cheapness Of gravel of a fine quality,
and second, the immense AMOUNT of

BENTON has begun to feel the effects
OF the railroad already. There will be
about IS boats tie up there this summer
against about 40 last. Very little wool
will be shipped from that point. All the
Judith and Musselshell country will
ship by the N. F., and so will most of
the clip grown south and west of here.
The above is an extract from a letter
written to the Husbandman from Sun
River by n D. B. Hall, who in the
paragraph quoted writes himself down
as a prejudiced, cross-grained idiot, and
at the same time proves that he knows
nothing of what he writes about. The
boats got a late start from Bismarck this
spring, but, Notwithstanding this fact
and the sinking of the Big Horn, which
lost the Coulson line two trips to date,
we ave already had fifteen boats. Five
more will arrive in Benton this week.
making twenty boats and the season
not half over. There have been more
goods ordered this year by Benton mer-
chants than ever before, the boats will
be able to reach this town several weeks
later than last year, and we look for as
many arrivals, at least, as last year. But
then, Of course, the steamboat owners
and agents at Benton and Bismarck are
not supposed to know as much about
their own business as a fellow who sulks
in his room at Sun River, sixty miles
inland, and for all we know hasn't seen
a steamboat in his life! Likewise, the
same idiot probably knows just what the
sheep men of the Judith and Mussel-
shell-150 miles from him-intend to do,
even better than do the wool buyers who
make it their business to find out where
these men intend to market their wool
so as to be on hand to buy, and who as
sure us there will be fully as much wool,
if not more, shipped from Benton this
year as last, and that it will come not
only from the Judith Basin but from be-
yond the Gap. But then, no doubt, the
owners have each and every one written
up to Sun River to D. B. III. expressly
to keep him posted; if they haven't we
cannot see where he gets all his very
reliable ~ information. He certainly
cannot get it from personal observation.

$1,000 for Caring for Her Mother.

WEST JEFFERSON, o.. Nov 3O-One of the
most interesting cases ever tried in the Mad
ison county court has come to an end here
that of Mary f. Walcutt against the Moss es-
tate, in which she sued for 81, 900 for taking
care of her mother, who died about a year
ago, and a note OF $500. Five miles west of
this place lived Joseph Moss, wife and family,
for many years, on a beautiful farm owned
by them. Mary, the plaintiff in the suit.
was married to George E. Walcutt, brother
of Mayor c. C. Walcutt of Columbus, who
was a captain in the Mexican war. The fruit
of their union was two children. Her husband
having died, Mary disgusting herself as a
man, took an active part in the late war.
About ten years ago Joseph Moss, her father,
died. Since that time Mary has made her
home with her mother, taking care of her in
her old days, and running the farm on which
they lived After the death OF her mother
she instituted suit against the estate in the
sum of $500, and received verdict for the
full amount, 1t was proven on the trial that
none of the children attended the funeral of
their mother except Mrs. Walcutt
