TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FIRE.

The unwelcome alarm of fire may
any day be sounded and find the citi-
zens of HALEY unprepared. There is
a balance of 800 cash in the Fire
Wardens' hands, which will be ex-
pended in purchasing seven fire lad
ders, two fre-hooks and more buckets;
also, some axes and chains. So far SO
good; but as every citizen knows that
few buckets are of no service with
out water to put in them, and as the
water-ditches, even when the water is
running, are not deep enough nor
carry sufficient volume of water to
render the bucket service effective
the Fire Wardens earnestly request
that every merchant on Main street
shall Immediately have barrels, casks,
boxes or tanks set into the ground
beneath. the bottom of the water-ditch
which shall catch the water until filed
and retain it there to be dipped out
by the bucket brigade in time of
need.
This plan, if adopted, will, with the
better facilities offered for securing
all the fire apparatus at the new fire
department headquarters adjoining S.
j. Friedman's store, render better SER
vice possible, and yet in a heavy gale
or strong wind the heat would be too
great to admit of near enough APP
proach to burning building by men
with buckets, and head of water
with suitable hose is needed and must
soon be secured before security can be
felt and fire insurance obtained at
less rates than now charged.

Dorsey Makes a Speech.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-S. w. Dor
sey was serenaded late this evening by
the colored republican club of this city.
He made a brief speech in acknowledge
ment of the courtesy, in which he said:
[ thank you for the heart you have
shown by calling here this evening. [
thank you not only for myself, but for
all the defendants. | thank you not on
ly for all the defendants and their fami-
lies, but for the courage you have shown
in the presence of all dishonor that the
government has tried to put upon me in
plastering the graves OF the mothers and
the cradles of the babies with infamy by
unjust power. You are believed strong
enough to raise UP your voice and your
right hand against this attempted injus-
tice. | thank you for the pluck men
like you can show, looking in the face
of power; but oyer and above all that
this verdict has told a story in whose
presence humanity will bow down. Pos
sibly not this year or next, but the time
will come when it will be pointed to as
McCaulay pointed to the trial of War
rem Hastings. The trembling wires
that bore the message of acquittal to
Berlin, Moscow and Dublin told the
poor and loWly and hopeless that there
were yet twelve men who could be
found who would deal justly by them;
that there was not q government large
enough, not a public treasury fruitful
enough, there were not leads of gold
thick enough, there was not executive
power great enough to seduce the judg-
ment of twelve honest men. This trial
and this verdict has placed upon the
books OF justice q splendid record of
manhood in men. The jury was made
up OF republicans, democrats, eolored
men, white men, protestants, catholics,
atheists, and all agreed that the men
charged were not guilty, So it it turns
out that in the District Of Columbia,
where cloud power casts its shadow over
its individual, twelve men could be
found who Wonld not bend the preg-
nant hinges Of the knee that thrift
might follow fawning,o a halo of truth
will hang about them as long as they
live. TT will decorate every matched
cottage that has been built or viii be
built in the next thousand years. Good
bye; [ thank you.

Send Specimens.

John B. Read, territorial commission
er to the Denver mining exposition, adj
dresses q letter to the miners Of Mon
tana urging them to assist in rendering
Montana's exhibit q creditable one by
sending specimens of ores and minerals
from their respective districts. This is the
best opportunity aver offered Montana
to show to the world what her mineral
resources are, and we trust that the citi-
Gems Of the Barker and adjoining dis
triets will see that they are duly repre-
sented in the space allotted in the expo.
sition to this territory. The exposition
opens July nth, and it is essential that
whatever is done should be done at once.
Below we give an extract from MI.
Reads letter:
A great opportunity is now available
to place before the eyes Of many thous-
ands of eastern people indisputable evil
dence Of Montana's mineral wealth. TO
neglect the opportunity will be regarded
as a confession that we fear competition,
comparison and examination, and it is
therefore to u direct interest to send
without delay such a complete and rep
resentative collection of the precious and
base ores and other minerals That at

least some shades of light shall be made
to radiate through the Egyptian dark
ness which prevails Throughout the east
in regard to the richness and extent and
permanence OF Montana mines. 1t IS,
[ hope, unnecessary to assure the exhlo-
tiers that Ishall take pleasure in being
to the utmost impartial in personally
supplying or publishing information
about all the districts which [ shall have
the honor to represent. [ fully realize
that the mines Of the Barker district,
the Clark's Fork district, Silver Star, or
Tidal Wave, may contain mines which
will with development outriyal the bo-
nanza properties of Helena or Butte,
and as the governor appointed me to a
territorial, not a local, office, exhibitors
may be assured hat [ shall use my best
endeavors faithfully to represent them
all and all alike.
It is hoped that by the LIST of July
every mining district of Montana will
have taken proper steps for a full repre-
sentation, and that the Montana exhibit
will be boxed, labeled and ready for
shipment. This result can be readily
accomplished if the miners of the terri
tory will act with their accustomed en-
ergy and public spirit.

A Big Telsgraphic Scheme.

WINNIPEG, June 9.-It is the inten-
ton of the Canadian Pacific to conduct
a general commercial telegraph business
over its wires throughout the North
west. Business will be commenced at an
early day, and wherever the lines runs
there will exist the Canadian Pacific
telegraph system. It is thought that
the system will be in operation by the
first of July. Frank Drummond, for
merly manager of the Dominion Tele-
graph company, will be superintendent
Of the system. The central office will be
in this city. The line will soon be in
operation from Port Arthur to Medicine
Hat, 700 miles west of here. The COM
pany expects to do all the Geographic
business Of the northwest. In a couple
Of years the system will extend from
Montreal to Port Moody, B. c. This
will be the overland port. The plan of
connection with Sanford Fleming's
scheme of connecting Europe with Chi
ma and Japan, by direct line, will give
a much shorter line than that now used.
The rates will be much cheaper than
those of other companies.

CHOTEAU COUNTY RACING Assoc
CATION.

Tt gives us great pleasure to be able to
announce that Choteau county will have
q racing association, the preliminary
steps having already been taken and
an organization effected. We are as
sured that it is a sure go, and that the
grounds for the permanent location are
secured. A lease Of the necessary land
for five years from j. J. Kennedy and
Nell. J. Keith was yesterday signed and
no doubt long before the time runs out it
will be purchased outright. The location
is a most excellent one, and peculiarly
adapted for the purpose. 1t will require
but comparatively little labor to prepare
an excellent circular mile track, and
the ground around has just sufficient
slope for drainage, ensuring a fair track
in a very short time after any rain that
might fall. It lies close to the Teton
river, with clustering trees along the
bank, a most beautiful location for a
summer resort, and just a nice drive
about two miles and q half-from town.
A grand stand will be put up for the first
meeting, and we understand that it is
the intention of the association to inn
mediately proceed to erect buildings for
the accommodation Of pleasure parties
and those who drive out to engage in
friendly trials Of speed, and also to ftup
a place wherein any needed refresh
,,,on4c oa,, ~ Hal
We have long advocated the formation
of some such association, believing that
it will greatly benefit the stock interests
of Northern Montana in general in the
end, as it is sure, if properly and sue
cessfully managed, to ultimately become
exhibition Of fine cattle, sheep and
horses for all purposes as well as a meet
ing for contests Of speed. That it will
benefit the city Of Fort Benton there
can be no question, as no doubt it will
attract larger crowds every year, who
will not only leave considerable money
with the hotel and stable men, but will
take the opportunity Of their presence
here to purchase big bills Of supplies at
the cheapest market in the territory.

THE FOURTH.

The gentlemen who have taken hold
of the project for celebrating the Fourth
are, we are glad to say, meeting with
good encouragement in the matter of
soliciting subscriptions toward the
purses, and already have $3.50 secured
We understand that it is also their in
t%ention, in case sufficient funds can be
raised, to give a small purse for a match
game Of ball between the upper and
lower town mines, which is likely to be
close and interesting, and SO worth wit
Messing. We hope that our people will
all take hold and pull together in this
matter and make its success SO assured
that it will attract everybody in the
vicinity to the city IN that day. A sue
cessful meeting on the Fourth will as
sure the success of the proposed fall
meeting. We have always maintained
that there is ample field for q Northern
Montana Association, and it will not be
denied that Fort Benton is the place for
it. If the fall meeting this year can be

for the future, and each succeeding year
will add to its importance and magni-
tude. No doubt, if the programme for
the Fourth is carried to successful COM
pletion we will have a number of horses
from the Judith, Highwood, Shonkin,
Teton, Chestnut and Sun River valleys
here this fall, for in that case they will
feel some assurance that the purses will
be worth striving for, and, in addition,
it will bring crowds of people to the fall
meeting, all of whom will leave more or
less money with our business men. And
success now will give the management
encouragement to go ahead with the
work Of fixing up and improving the
track and grounds. Let us all work to-
gether in this and Benton will have q
regular yearly meeting which cannot
fail to be of great benefit to her.

The Ashland Murder.

CAFLETTsBRG, Ky, June 15.-In the
preliminary hearing in the case Of VIM.
Direly(colored), the newly arrested pris-
oner charged with committing, with
two other negros) outrages upon the
Gibbons girls, and the murder Of the
girls and their brother, at Ashland, KY,
was continued till Monday at the re-
quest Of detectives. Ellis, Neal, and
Craft were tried, found guilty and or
dered to be hanged for these murders Oh
the confession of Ellis, who was after
ward lynched. Neal and Craft have
been contesting the case in the higher
courts for the past six months, and
were recently refused a new trial. The
arrest OF Direly, on newly discovered
evidence, puts an entirely new phase on
the celebrated murder case.

The sequel to the Uniontown tragedy
was written in blood Wednesday even
ing, when N. L. Dukes was shot dead
by young James Mutt, whose sister he
had %slandered and whose father he had
murdered. 1t will be remembered that
Dukes was acquitted on his trial for the
murder, and the jury that acquitted him
were many of them obliged to remove
from the vicinity by the force of public
opinion. Wednesday evening young
Mutt (who is not yet 20J and Dukes met
in front of the post office. It is stated
that Dukes laughed in n utt's face in a
sneering manner Mutt fired five shots,
four of which took effect, resulting in
instant death.

Now that the bids for the erection Of
the court house have been received and
opened, the commissioners should make
the award without unnecessary delay,
SO that work on the building may be
commenced at once and the order sent
east for all needed material. The boat
ing season promises to be such a favor
able one that there is fair prospect Of
getting through this year all the mater
ial needed, if the matter is hurried up
and the contractor rustles as he should.
But there is 40 time to lose, and we urge
the commissioners to arrive at a conclu-
sion just as soon as possible, and thus
get the court house ball rolling.

THE DRESS of the Future Associa-
tom is now holding it's exhibition in
London. The main idea is to equalize
the weight of dress upon the body, or
rather to shift the burden on to those
parts of the body best able ID a it, and
to 50 fashion the new garments that they
shall combine at the waist without any
compression Of it, throwing part Of their
weight upon the hips, but ultimately
depending for their position upon the
shoulders. They are to hang loosely
not, however, in the manner of the an
cient Greek or the modern Asiatic, but
rather of a Boomer costume of Albanian
type. The upper part will be gathered
i'm as loosely as possible at the waist, and
be so full as to hang in loose folds over
the bosom; while the lower consists OF a
short skirt suspended from the bodice,
and Of trousers either of the knicker-
booker kind, caught in below the knee
with q frill of lace, or reaching to the
ankles. Padding of all kinds is tabooed.
