all Queations concerning the validity
Of the entire grant. he gives some
Interesting points Of information ia

TIE main line Of the Northern Pa
ci6o road will be completed before
next TALL, and the lands not already
conveyed will be patented to the COM
pAny. Ia accordance with the terms of
the charter, as rapidly as they

the track connected by the middle of
July,and that by the LIST Of September
the whole line will be opened for

the Pacific coast. The company an
ticip ltes Il larger movement OF settlers
to the new region along its road than
took place last year, when the emigra
ton was remarkably large.
This year the tide of population
will flow in o the valleys of Montana
as we'll as thewheat region Of Kakota,
and large part of it will no doubt 60
through to Oregon aud Washington
Territory The new wheat belt beyond
tie Rocky mountains is as productive
as that OF the Red river valley, and
has the ADVANTAGES of a climate no
more severe than that of Ohio, and a
short route to the sea by way of THE
Columbia river and PUGET sound ports.
The principal towns yet to be reached
by the Northern Pacific line are
Helena aud Missoula. Bohemian, just
reached, has grown to place Of $500
Inhabitants. and Helens has about
5000. Missoula. lately an Indian trad
ing post. has 1900 inhabitants. Bill
ings, in the Yellowstone valley, had
no existence uatil May last, and has
now l200 people. The newest place
on the line is Livingston, at the head
of the valley, where the neiphboriug
coal deposits and the certainty of a
branch road to the National Park,
have caused a lively town of 500 in
hatitanls to spring up during the past

CURED this afternoon in the town Of
Caseyville, on the Ohio and Missis
slppi road. some ten miles from St.

twenty years, was sitting at bis front

lady friend coming up the street, he
thought it would be nice thing to
play a practical joke on her and
Brighten her little. He hurried into
the adjoining rosm, picked up an old
shotgun, which he supposed was
empty, and putting on cap he hur-
ried back to the door. He
thought he would snap the cap
at her, and that tho sound Of it,
whether she saw the gun or not,
would make her jump. He waited
where be could not be- seen till she
was 10 front Of the door, only a few
feet from him. aud then pulled the
trigger There was q loud baog and a
little cloud of smoke, and Catherine
Adams fell dead at his feet. She did
not speak a word, and perhaps never
knew that she had been or was going
to be shot. Jacobs was, OF course,
Mortified, and went about crying like
an idiot that he was The villagers
quickly gathered and there was great
Indignation and threa Of lynching,
nul a train soon came along and the
Cor stable hustled Jacobs aboard. and

eighteen years old, very pretty, and
