Death of DR.. J. G. Kittson.

DR.. John George Kittson died sudden
ly yesterday morning. DR.. Kittson was
the second son of N. w. Kittson. He
was born in st. Paul, and was educated
at Montreal, graduating in the medical
school of McGill university. He prac-
ticed for some years in Canada, and in
1875 was appointed by the Canadian
government chief of the medical depart
ment of the Northwest, in connection
with the mounted police. His health
falling, he returned to his fathers home
two years ago. For the last few days he
complained of his head, and his memory
seemed to be impaired. On Saturday
morning at two O'Clock his brotherspoke
with him for a few minutes, and about
two hours later found him in the bath
room, dead. He rose probably about
three O'Clock, and the exertion caused
congestion of the brain. He was in his
thirty-eighth year.-Pioneer Press.
The deceased was stationed at Forts
Walsh and Macleod for some years and
was well known by many ofour citizens,
as he visited Fort Benton frequently.

The Butte Prize Fight.

BUTTE, May lS.-Over 5000 persons
were spectators of the McCoy-McDonald

track near this city. The crowd was
orderly and there was no disturbance
whatever. Thirty-one three-minute
rounds were fought, conforming to the
Marquis of Queensbury rules. Time,
two hours and thirty minutes. Nc
Donald drew first blood; Mccoy got the
first knock down. Mccoy was knocked
down three times and Mcdonald four
times, Mcdonald was badly punished
about the face and neck. On thethirty-
first round Mccoy dealt a l~eft-hander on
McDonald's neck and knocked him out
of time. Mccoy is around this evening.

mitted to see him..

Taking a Bite Of Whisky.

M. G.. Peterman is a German farmer,
of Pittsburg suburbs, who has made a
wonderful Inventions new method
that will revolutionize modern whisky
distilIing. He has discovered a way of
making solidified whisky, making it
into pocket plugs just like tobacco. Be-
sides that he says he can also distil it in
LIQUID form so that it will be the exact
equivalent of two and three-year old
whisky when it comes out OF the still.
Last month persons from New York
offered him 500 900 for his invention,
and he came within an ace OF selling 1T
to them, under the impression that they
were to to make and sell only in that
state, but discovering that they Were
trying to secure it from him for all the
states he dismissed the offer.
A man can carry a plug Of this Whis-
XIV in his pocket, and when thirsty can
pull it out, dissolve a chip of it in a tum-
bier of water, or else take a !" chaW," as
he would tobacco. It would be especially
valuable over the present liquid, as 1T
would save leakage. During battles the
whisky carried by armies for medicine
or stimulants has been lost at the time
when needed most, by the barrels or
vessels being riddled by bullets, The

| uniniured. Even If the articles We're
never manufactured at all, Mr.. Peter
mans invention is valuable in the Won
| derful improvement it makes in the
distiIling of liquid whisky. In a very
short time be expects to be ready to
| show the world the value Of all bis in
ventions. Nearly all his machinery is
patented, but the article ~itselfis not now
| but soon will be patented.
MI. Peterman has made his models
| entirely with a penknife, rounded the
boilers and stills, curved the pipes-and
followed them out inside. He has a
complete working distillery in minia-
ture embodying his inventions, and all
of it made, little by little. with a pen
knife in the midnight hours. after days

ideas on the subject, and SO complicated
| the devices, that no timer or machinist
in Pittsburg would undertake to make
him a model hence he had to do it
himself. 1t required months OF patient

The Difference Between Them.

When you see d thing you want to
buy and have money enough to buy it,
it is well to go home and imagine that
the price of the coveted article covers
all the cash you have. Then you may
find out whether you merely want the
article or need it. There is as much
difference between a want and a need
as between dessert and dinner. You
need the dinner. You only want the
dessert. -

Communicated.

The writer, last week, spent two days
on the ranch of Mr.. w. n. McCandlish.
This ranch is on the Driftwood, Is
miles from McCook. Taken as a whole,
it is unique, extending along the little
stream 3 miles, as the bird flies. The
Driftwood at this point is quite heavily
timbered. Ash, elm, cottonwood and
blackberry. One elm grove l noticed
reminded me of New Haven trees very
large, branches interlocking so as to
form complete canopy, delightful
shelter from sun and storm. Another
feature is the living water Several
springs flow here the year round, One
of these which [ saw would furnish
water in abundance for large herd of
cattle, and the water was cold, clear
and sweet. In addition to these de-
lights of the stockman the shelter from
the depressions of the stream is most
complete. In many places the walls Of
the stream are 60 feet in perpendicular,
and the timber fringes it so as to pre-
vent caving in. Opposite our friends
house is a rocky cliff, rising one hun
dred or one hundred and fifty feet from
bed Of stream. Here are cedar trees Of
all ages and sizes, growing from the
midst of the rocks. The conformation
of this cliff in one point, as seen from
the other side, shows distinct V.
Toward the top the rock rises solid out
Of the apparent rim a perpendicular
wall, reaching in some places height
Of 80 or 40 feet. Near this cliff is
another rocky point, consisting Of lime
stone Of good quality.
But there was a picnic. In beau
tiful grove of young timbers. Three or
tour swings. An overlooking table OF
skillfully prepared dainties, not simply
dainties either. All the desirable sur
roundings of picnic were there. A
fine company. Some of Nebraska
best. Plenty Of good cheer Music (;
old time, war songs, patriotic songs.
A Chamber up the cliff where the gen
tlemen had chance to show their gal
iantry and their muscle, for in some
places it took pure lifting. Came home
in the cool of the night. The night
when McCook saw its first disaster.
