The Old found Tolrer.

Those who visit Newport Rhode Island,
are shown the old round tower, which is one
Of the chief attractions of this place. This
was probably built by the NOrsemen carly
in the thirteenth century, and WAS used by
them as a tower in which to flee for safety
when attacked by the natives. 1t was their
tower of safety, and if it could talk,
what volumes of history could it relate.
Just as it was tower of safety to the carly
dScOyererS of America, SO is Pcruna to the
citizens of our country to-day. As tits pre-
pared exclusively from vegetable compounds
and contains no poisonous minerals, it i
peculiarly adapted to all who need tonic

STOCK NOTES.

M& #@ g. -"
Messrs. Farrell & Varney, of Madison
tie to Brown g. Dovenspeck, of the Mus
selshell, at S62.25 a head.
Neptune Lynch, Jr., of Horse Plains,
passed through Missoula last week with
800 head of cattle, bound for a market
in the Northwest territory, unless soon
er disposed of.
r. P. Walker of the Montana Cattle
company, has already started a drive of
1900 head of beeves to the Chicago
market, via the Canadian Pacific rail
road. The cattle will be at Maple creek
in a few days.
We have it from reliable sources that
several head OF cattle belonging to Gran
vile Stuart were found dead below the
post, on Monday of last week. Their
carcasses all bearing evidence of being
shot, eXcites serious apprensiou, should
the perpetrators be discovered.
"You never hear of Montana fever,n
said a cattle man this week. ''Texas
fever grows out of the bad air and water
of the southern plains. 1t is less known
in Colorado near the mountains, and
with us is almost wholly unknown
probably originates in the north.
Mountain streams, pure, dry air, and
never-failing pasturage insure Montana
cattle against fever. "-Pioneer Press.
Mr.. Belcher, agent for tie Canadian
Pacific railroad, arrived from Helena
Thursday. He reports meeting with
success in soliciting shipments oyer his
road. Among the prominent shippers
will be the Benton & st. Louis Cattle
company, the Montana Cattle company,
J. +. Taylor and others. Mr.. Belcner
gives assurances that quick time will be
made from points Of shipment, better
rate is guaranteed, and the best accom-
modations for the care of stock at ter
minal points. They will make a spe-
cialty Of handling stock, and will do it
thoroughly and we'll.
Mr.. Belcher, the representative of the
Canadian Pacific railroad company, in
formed our reporter last week hat there
is not the slightest possibility Of stock
men who ship by the northern route
being interfered with at the boundary by
inspectors. In fact there will be no
more trouble than if this boundary did
not exist. The railroad company guar
antees this, SO that the stories sent out
in the interest of other roads need not,
and doubtless will not, deter stockmen
from shipping by the northern route.
The Canadian Pacific will secure the
shipment Of nearly 10000 head Of beeves
from Northern Montana this year, not
withstanding the underhand efforts of
agents of the Northern Pacific to alarm
shippers.

Reduction in Cattle Rates.

The Northern Pacific has announced
a reduction in cattle rates of 5 per cent.
from all points west of the Missouri
river to Chicago, and parallel to points
on the Union Pacific. General Freight
Agent Hannaford, in speaking of the
reduction, stated that the Northern Pa
cifc had made an arrangement with the
Union Pacific to inform the other when
either road would make any change in
the rates. The Union Pacific recently
made a reduction from points on their
line, it is claimed, at the solicitation Of
the Wyoming Farmers association, and
without informing the Northern Pacific.
In view of this the Northern Pacific has
made a general reduction Of 8 per cent.
along the line to meet the Union Pacific
reduction. The points at which reduc-
ton is made are not competitive points
between the roads. but are parallel, and
therefore the Northern Pacific feels sat
isfied they are entitled to the same rates
as those on the Union Pacific. At Dick
inson the old rate was sos and is now
800; from Mingasville, old rate, Sis,
new rate, SIP; Miles City, old rate,
$40, new late, S133; Billings, old rate,
$165, new rate, $3.50, and others in pro-
portion.
