Found After Thirty Years.

The following from the Alexandra
(Va.) Gazette has a local interest. The
Mr.. Vincent referred to is the gentleman
who has charge of the Pacific hotel bar,
and who has for some time been va1nly
seeking to find trace of his brother. He
recently published a notice in the RIVER
PRESS that assisted in bringing about
the happy result narrated by the Ga
Zette:
Mr.. w. F. Vincent, through Mr.. I.
w. G~enzberger, of Helena, Mont, has
received tidings of his brother, Mr.. J.
T. Vincent, whom he had lost sight of
for thirty-two years. Mr.. Vincent left
his home in Maryland many years ago,
and after serving some time in the u. S.
navy, became a soldier in the Mexican
war soon thereafter all traces of him
were lost. 1t now turns out that he
went to California during the gold ex-
element where he stayed till the recent
war, after which, supposing his family
dead or scattered, he thought it useless
to try to find them. After all these
years, through a young man of this city,
these two brothers have become aware
of the fact of each others existence, and
Mr.. Vincent of this city yesterday re-
ceived a letter from his long lost brother.

A Good Opinion of Montana.

M. r. Draper, one of the managers
and partners in the Ohio Cattle COM
pany, who have upwards of 5000 head,
principally steer cattle, and holding On
Musselshell creek, Montana, forty miles
south Of the Missouri river, returned
home the first of last week from a three
months tour to the company's posses
sions, taking in the stock situation be-
tween here and that section. He spoke
in high praise Of that region as a stock
country, and thinks cattle in that ex-
IRENE northern cline are harder, grow
larger and take more fat than cattle do
in this section. He does not consider it
to be much of a breeding country and,
while they claim a fifty per cent. calf
crop, yet forty per cent. would be nearer
the figure. Kansas and Texas, he
claims, must continue to breed the cat
tie to be matured to beef in that vast
region, OF at least about go per cent. of
the stock turned off to market from the
northern ranges. Ranch properties,
although numerous, are pretty we'll
taken up even in that far off country
some of which were stocked as early as
fifteen years ago. Yet there are some
good locations, rather isolated, however,
and in the Bad Land country, which is
watered, yet covered with an
Of feed. AS a beef-producing
country, he thinks Montana is the
boss.-Fort Worth Live Stock Journal.

Set Right.

A Herald reporter inquired to day of
Mr.. Il. c. Power as to what part, if any.
he had in the recent corn deal in Chi
cago. said by eastern dispatches to have
included several western capitalists, Mr..
Power among the number. Mr.. Power
promptly answered. "There is absolute
ly nothing of truth in the report as far
as it applies to myself. [ am a business
man, not a s%peculator. / never bought
Or sold a bushel Of corn as a speculative
venture in my life. The eastern press
is widely "off" in SO far as it connects
name with the Chicago corn deal"
Mr.. Power also said that he was salts
fed that neither Kelly, of st. Paul, nor
Paxton, of Omaha, both engaged in
legitimate business enterprises, were
engaged in it. He thought it was a
game of the Chicago gamblers to ship
responsibility from their own shoulders
to others.-Herald.

The Democratic Harmony Meeting.

AS was expected at the meeting of the
committee of five from each faction Of
the divided democracy, no reconcilia-
ton was reached, each side blaming
the other, and the outcome is that the
breach is wider than ever before, and we
presume that it will now be war to the
knife. The republicans look complac-
emily on, and see their chance for victo-
ry. A great many good democrats are
Disguised at the turn affairs have taken
and it need occasion no surprise to
see them on election day helping to
swell the republican majority. There
is now no reason to hope that a CONSOLE
dation can be effected, SO look out for
fun on the 4th Of November.

The Democratic Rally.

A good1y number of democrats and
republicans met last evening to hear
what the Hons. j. K: Toole and J. A.
Johnston had to say on the political
issues of the day. The meeting was
called to order by w. f. Rector, chair
man Of the democratic central commit
tee. j. w. Tattan was called to the
chair and with a few brief remarks
introduced to the audience the Hon. J.
K. Toc1e, as the next delegate to con
gress. MI. Toole, who, by the way, is a
very effective speaker, spoke for about
t~hree-quarters of an hour, more partic-
ularly directing attention to territorial
issues. He urged upon all to vote for
the new constitution, and set forth the
advantages of home government and
the benefits derived from statehood in
the matter Of taxation. He alluded to
the national issues briefly, and in con-
clusion mentioned his W candidacy.
He made no direct pledges but promised
to serve the people, if elected, with the
same zeal that had characterized his
professional life, and hoped for the
hearty support of his constituents in
ChOteau county.
Mr.. Johnston was the next speaker.
While not as impressive aspeakeras Mr..
TOole, he succeeded in amusing his
audience. He touched upon all the
national ~issues-tariff. prohibition anda
few of the dead issues. He alluded but
briefly to his own candidacy, saying his
past record would seem to Justify his re-
election.
Prof. Donovon made a few remarks
on national topics. t. E. Collins, being
called upon, spoke for about ten min
utes. The meeting was orderly and we'll
conducted, and the speakers were oc-
~casionally interrupted by applause.

w ell, This Is Good!

Fort BENTON, Montana, Oct. 1.-The
Conrad house here was destroyed by
fire. G. L. Spencer, a former st. Paul
boy, succeeded with the help of the citi-
zens in preventing the spread of the
flames. The loss of this hotel will be
greatly felt by the st. Paul travelling
men who have business here. The total
loss is $4,000, on which there was but
little insurance.
The foregoing is an alleged special dis
patch to the st. Paul Day, and it is GER
tainly a wonderful piece of information.

Candidates Caution.

Candidates for county offices in prom
ulgating esoteric cogitations or articulat-
ing superficial sentimentalities. and
philosophical or physiological observa-
tons should beware of platitudinous
pon%derosity. Let your statements to
the dear people possess q clarified con-
%ciseness, compacted comprehensibleness,
coalescent consistency and a ~concentrat-
ed cogency. Eschew all conglomera-
tions. of fatulent garrulity, jejuge
babblement and asinine affections.
Candidates observing these suggestions
will stand a show to get there in Noven-
ber.-Dillon Tribune.

A Rumpus Among the Crows.

Gen. Black and f. M. Freta.h return
ed from the new Grow Agency on Sun
day. They report that during their
stay at the Agency there was quite an
exciting time. It seems that u party of
% Sioux braves were paying the Grows
a visit at the time rations were being
served out. The agent, suspecting the
Sioux were on a thieving expedition,
stopped supplying the rations. In the
meantime the. Sioux disappeared, but
the agent would not supply any more
rations until the whereabouts of the
Sioux were made known. The result

from the Sell farm, at Indian Head, the

Of mounted police started in pursuit,
and has now returned with ten of the
cattle which are said to have been recov-
