The ranchers on Camas Prairie are

Foreman of the Haley Hose Com

grned at the lack Of interest shown
by subscribed members of the COM

the company have been called, but
without avail, as quorum could not
be obtained; evenings for drill set,
and so few responded to the tap of
the bell, that the efforts of the few
made cause for laughter among the

succeeded in getting the hose cart to

Scott.

Scott.
Peace and harmony do not reign
supreme in the Scott Sterritt abode.
The trouble last night had been brew
ing for some time, growing every day,
until last evening from the bubble the
pot boiled over.
A TIMES reporter interviewed Mr..
Scott this morning, and from him the
following version Of the affair was
learned. Harry Scott and Al. Stcr-
rift have been partners in the Theater
saloon, but their business relations
were not very pleasant, for the reason
that one of the partners could not be
trusted by the other. Mr.. Scott said:
'Several times l have noticed discrep-
ancies in the cash accounts, and once,
at least, the safe was robbed. All this
misdemeanor was traced to the door
of Al. Sterritt. Nor rcmonstrance nor
persuasion were availing. Sterritt
would rob his partner-his brother-in-
law-and even his own wife, and
spend the money with lewd women,
and for wine in the green room, when
ever theatrical company happened

THE COMMITTEE.
Do You Want Your Fortune Told, .
Corns, BuniOns or Warts Cured!

COruSs DunlOuS VI warns Sutcus
Miss Theresa Armstrong, young
lady who has already established quite
a reputation in the East as fortune
teller, is stopping at the Merchants
Hotel, in this city, for few days, on
her way to Portland, Oregon. She
comes here from Denver, COL, where
she lived the past five years and met
with great success.
She also has fine line of all kinds
of jewelry, Blaine and Cleveland
badges, ETC., which she sells at bottom
figures.
Miss Armstrong is an experienced
corn doctor, and removes corns, bun.

She can be consulted at the sample

Alleging.
George Williams, who is one of
the owners of the Mammoth copper
mines of Lost River, came in last
evening.
He reports about Is men employed
at grading road between the smelter
site and mines, and cutting down the
hill at the base of which the furnaces
will be located. The smelter machin
erv is out of Blackfoot about one
week, and must have either reached
its destination by this time, or be near
it. As coke and Aux have already
been secured, there will be no delay
in blowing-in the furnaces, once they
are ready. 1t will take about forty
days to get ready; but they will posi-
lively be blown in this fall.
Houston is apparently as lively and
prosperous as ever, seven or eight new
buildings being in course of erection
when Mr.. Williams left.
Politicians seem to be scarce, as
vet out there. The Republican Con
venton of Custer county left fou'
blanks on their ticket, ard the Demo
cratic Convention three.
Joe Lennon formerly of Haley ant
Smoky, was nominated for Count.
Commissioner; there is but one candi
date for District Attorney, one 70
Treasurer, one for Recorder and Aud
i1or, one for Probate Judge, and on
for Assessor and Collector. Thes

year each, but the officia's are poorl

THE SHIPPING BILL,
AS Passed by the Senate Yesterday.
Reducing Tonnage, Dues, Etc.

WASHINGTON. May S.-The shipping bill as it
United States vessels shall be American citizens.
Tonnage dues are abolished as to American yes
sells, and as to vessels of other nations which do
not impose tonnage dues, under the name Of
slight money on American vessels, but this
provision is not to impair any treaty obligations
The marine hospital tax is abolished, and the ex-
pense of maintaining such hospitals is devolved
on the United States. When @ vessel is built in
the United States for foreign account, wholly
or partly of foreign material, on which
import duties had been paid, the amount of dutv
less 10 per cent, is allowed as drawback, when
the vessel is exported. Head money tax is de-
clared not applicable to vessels coming from
Canada or Mexico For transporting mails be-
tween any port on the Atlantic and ports on the
Pacific touching at foreign ports, sum not ex-
ceedng one dollar per mile on the trip each way,
of actual nautical miles travelled, may be paid, by
the postmaster general after legal advertisement
and contract with the lowest possible bidder.
The aggregate compensation for such
service however, is not to exceed
the gross revenues from the foreign mail business
for the year preceding the contract less the
amount paid for transportation on foreign yes
sels and the amount paid to foreign administra-
hons. The ships with which such contracts are
made shall be of American registry, and the con-
tracts snail be for q term not less than four, nor
more than six years. The bill also reduces from

with free selling on the report of Commissioner

the coal stocks, particularly Jersey Central Read
ing and Delaware, Lacawanna and Western, and
rumors were circulated that some financial insti-
tuition in Philadelphia, which was lender on
these securities, was in trouble, but it was not
confirmed. The recent failures have doubtless
brought lot of long stocks on the market, which
was sufficient to check any rally. About noon
there were good buying orders, which started
the bears to covering, the upturn eliminating in
little boom, the boom traders being conspicu-
Gus buyers. The nominal cause of the rally was
the report that the trunk lines had opened
to an advance in rates. It was subsequently
stated that this would apply to rates from st.
Louis only. A good deal of bull manipulation
to-day is attributed to Mr.. Gould and the young
