Messrs. Kohrs & Bislenbsrg received by
rail few days ago, seven Short Horn and
two imported Polled Angus bulls, Of the
finest families and best bred probably Of any
ever brought to Montana.
The Polled Angus were bought Of John I.
Foote, Importer, uorristown, n. j., Nc.
being bred by Captain Beedie, Pitgair, Turiff,
Aberdesnshire, Scotland, from Emir Q49s
and Gamrie Mohr (124o) Of the Earl Of Air
lies and the Queen Mother tribes. Ne.
was bred by Mr.. Foote from Cortachie, an
other of the Earl of Airlie's herd, from q
family taking the first prizes at the Royal
Northern show Mt Aberdeen.
Among the thoroughbred Short Horns are
Captain Wiley" yearling, bred by Pliny
Nichols, West Liberty, Iowa; General
Taylor" two-year-old, bred by John Whit
slit, Presumption, Ills; General Logan"
yearling, bred by Is. A. and w. p. Nichols,
West Liberty, Iowa; "Grand Prince" two
year-old, bred by Smith & Judd, West Lib
erty, Iowa, and "Orange Blossom" bred by
the same. Messrs. X g. b. finding the num-
Der purchased could be shipped as chsaply
as less number, brought more OF the above
animals than required for their own herd,
and will sell one of the Pelled Angus and
three Of the Short Horns. Cattle raisers
desiring to improve their herds will find this
q rare opportunity. ROC

Garrison Items.

Superintendent w. b. Doddridge and w.
p. p. ST. Clair, Of the U. p. Co., went to Gar
rison Monday evening, where they met su-
perintondent Gable and Col. w. II. Sanders,
OF the n. r., on business of mutual interest.
The parties occupying buildings on the rail-
road grounds at that point were directed TO
remove them thersfrom, preparatory to ex.
tending the tracks for union yard, as agreed
upon some months ago. Supt. Gable has tel
egraphed Supt. Buckley for orders, and ex-
poets 10 extend two tracks from the N. p.
into the yard nj an early day. This will rem
der necessary the construction Of parallel
tracks by the U. e. N, and 10 is presumed
the construction Of the freight transfer plat
form win follow, as the present transfer is
small and Inconvenient and delays the trans
fer, which has grown into large proportions.
The Montana Copper Company, OF Butte,
has contract for 10000 tons of ore to ship
east over the N. p, which has to be reship-
ped at Garrison. The Montana Improve
ment Company rs handling large quantities
of lumber, which comes south over the u. u
N, and the general business is also increas-
Ing.
The recent change In time, enabling closer
connection, has hurt the passenger business
among restaurateurs and Others, and times
are dull at Garrison; but a change In time
again may revive their business. ONeill
estimates his business has fallen off fifty per
cent, but 1t Is still fair. With the establish
ment Of the permanent freight transfer there
will be stability TO business in that neighbor-
hood, and as lots with good title can be pur-
chased In the immediate vicinity, IL is prob
able the permanent town will now be built
up. As the structures at present used are
frail and not adapted for winter occupancy,
we hope to see moro substantial ones erected
on the town site. Summer does not last
nil the year round In Montana.

On Tuesday young man, aged %, but
looking much younger, walked into town
from Butte. During the day he said he had
worked fer the Anaconda Company two
years. He took numerous drinks and ex
posed at one time $50 gold piece. In the
evening he was in Bailey s. Petty's saloon
got sick and went out the back door. He
kept sick, and alternated his sick spells with
maps. 1t was thought best to dispossess him
of his twenty-dollar gold piece before leav
ing him exposed, and an officer was called to
search him. The officer found $500 in gold
coin, a watch, knife and pistol on him
The money was counted, and it, with his val
uables, put in Mr.. Petty's hands. Soon after
Sheriff NcMaster put him to bed at hotel
In the morning he said he had been robbed
He was referred to the Sheriff. care you
broke?" said Mac. "No; have some left
land here he went down in an inside pocket
and drew out $3.50 more in coin), but have
been robbed of some" He could hardly
realize his good fortune when all his posses
sions were counted out and returned to him
A draft for 5000 was purchased for him on
London, and he left on Wednesday nights
train for Garrison, whence he said he was
going back to his home in Cornwall Eng
land. He was very lucky young man, and
his experience should teach him lesson.

And buy the Mccormick Irvine Binder. 1t
is the lightest draft machine made. You can
raise il higher and cut lower with it than
with any other machine in the world. 1t
will bind shorter grain and is easier to adjust
from long 10 short grain than any other ma
chine. 1t is more easily handled on rough
and uneven ground than any other machine.
All Mccormick Harvesters have the 1884
patent iron main and grain wheels, which
cannot break. They are made of the best
material, and the name, Mccormick" is a
sufficient guarantee of its superiority over all
other machines. By buying the Mccormick
you are sure of getting an 1884 patent, and
you are not buying a machine carried over
from 1888. We will put into the field and
start every machine and guarantee them to
do A No. work in fact, to be the best ma
chine put into the market. We buy in car
lots, direct from manufacturers, and hence
are able to sell at a lower figure than any
other machine can be sold for. We always
have full line of extras. Call at once and
leave your orders with the

SECOND DAY,

Met pursuant TO adjournment, Mr.. Much
more in the chair.
| After all had Joined in singing, Mr.. Catlin
read paper contributed by Mr.. Edwin E.
Kinney, of Beartown. on the subject of
practical Instruction" This paper pre-
scented methods of teaching the various
branches of an English education in an in
teresting and forcible manner. 1t was we'll
received aud freely discussed by most of the
active members of the Institute.
Mrs. G. N. Hoss, of the Deer Lodge school,
next read an excellent paper on "Educa-
tional Methods, which was followed by
lively discussion of the subject in which
both ladies and gentlemen engaged without
reserve, good deal being said about various
methods of conducting monthly examina-
tons.
The forenoon being nearly spent Mr.. Cat
lin made a few remarks on "What Not to
Teach" First: "That pupils should not be
told that lessons are difficult" Second ::
| "Not try to teach all there is in the text book
the first time" These points provoked q
short discussion, and the Institute adj ourned
until 40 P. IN.
Called to order by the Chairman in the af-
ternoon, all Joined in singing familiar
hymn, and Mr.. Durfee read paper throw
| ing open to discussion the subject "Lan-
| guage versus Grammar in the Public Schools"
A long and profitable comparison of ideas
followed, almost every one having some
| thing to say.
A recess of five minutes was then had.
The rest of the afternoon was spent on the
subject of Penmanship, Mr.. Shull, of New
Chicago taking the lead by giving, in fe-
licitous manner, his method of teaching this
science, and replying to many inquiries with
| remarkable good humor. His method, teach
ing from the blackboard, instead of ruled
spaces and engraved copies, was criticised by
some, but the majority of the members IA
vored his plan.
Adjourned until p. m.
In the evening, after singing by aquartette,
Mrs. Emma Wilson, of New Chicago, read a
very fine paper on the progress Of Educa-
| ton" which was listened to with great pleas.

on Education Chiefly a Development"
and the Institute adjourned until a. m. Fri

SPECIAL BUSINESS NOTICES
Political Primaries.

The Democracy Of Beaverhead county are
first In the field with a call for primaries and
county convention, the former on September
9 and the latter September 10. This is nearly
two months hence. We do not see that any
benefit is TO accrue from so early an estab-
lishment of precincts, in view of the very
late day at which the Territorial conventions
will meet. The Democratic being set for
September %, the Republican will, by rule
and precedent, doubtless be called at even a
later date, and Eve or six weeks preceding
is ample time TO announce primaries and
county conventions Really, the Territorial
conventions might better have been called
two weeks earlier, but the time Of the Demo
cratic naturally controls all others, and that
is nxed. We mention this matter as there
seemed TO some uneasiness develop as TO the
call for the Republican Territorial convention
some weeks ago when there was no occasion
for 1t, aud there may be some disposition
now TO follow quickly the Democratic action
In Beaverhead. We see no benefit in this
early action, and think our Republican
friends can better wait three or four weeks
yet The local campaign work Is limited 10
the time between conventions and elections,
and the intervening time can well be devoted
10 business pursuits.

The Wool Market.

Mr.. A J. Davidson, who has purchased the
bulk Of the wool in this valley for the psst
several years, was in town yesterday, and re-
ports purchases light. Wool buyers are only
Offering about 10 or 10 cents, and wool grow
ers ask 1sc to zoe. Mr.. ID. states Montana
wool II now averaging about l9c in Boston,
with the finest clips running to 2ic, which is
about &c lower than last year. Freight to
Chicago is s215 and to Boston s270. Com
mission men charge from to 1ic for hand
ling wool, and per cent. interest on advan'
css. Eastern houses have reduced their ad-
vasces to 10c, and some have stopped
advancing altogether. The clip Of Montana
last year was about three million pounds,
and Mr.. Davidson estimates this year 1t will
bs four million. A difference Of DC per
pound on this amount would be sl6o, 600
quite an item In the receipts of the Territory
The market at present is much depressed,
and those of our wool growers who can will
probably hold on to their clips In preference
to selling at the low figures that can now be
obtained.

bringing Of Montana cattle TO the Northwest
Territories, and their subsequent shipment
East over the y. p. X. r.. IL II urged that .
rigid inspection should be made Of these cat

from the west show that the ranchmen on

As there Is not and never has been any

checked material, sack coat and black hat.
Any one knowing anything concerning him
will confer favor by writing to A. Ander.
