SENATE.

WASHINGTON, June y7.-rhe house
bill authorizing the extension of the
Chesapeake 4 Ohio railway to a point
on military lands near Fortress Mon
roe was passed.
Pell, from the committee on appro-
priations, reported the general def
clency appropriation bill with amend
ments. He will call it up Tomorrow.
Unfinished business was then laid
before the senate. being a bill provid-
ing for the forfeiture of unearned
lands granted the Atlantic 4 Pacific
railroad company,
Seuator Morgan offered an amend:
mept 10 take the place of the provi-
sion restoring the lands to the public
domain, and a resumption of title by
the United States. The amendment
authorizes and directs the circuit
court OF the United States for the
westsrn district OF Missouri to hear
and determine all questions arising
out OF claims to land declared for-
felted, and directs the United States
attorney of that district to inst;tu'e
proceedings in that court in the name
of tue United States as plaintiff
against any persons or corporation
claiming interest in the lands referred
to, so as to bring the subject before
the court. It gives either party to
the proceedings the right to appeal to
hesupreme court of the United States
and directs that court to advance the
case on its calendar.

MF Lanes Exp anat,on.

We make room in another column, for tho or.
p'anation of Under Sheriff Lane, of Missoula
county, In relation to bis releasing the Cole cir.
Gus swindlers. We nave no reason tc doubt that
MI. Lane. acting under the advice of counsel.
did what he thought was right in the matter,
But In the face Of this. we may be ,pardoned in
saying we believe he would have better served
the ends of justice by holding his prisoners un-
til osdersd by his superior officer to release them
or until be was osdesesI by the proper court to
cause why he retained them Mr.. Lape
should have known that Under Sheriff Bodiey,
Of this county, had good and sufficient reasons
to request TIE arrest Of the persons described in
his telegram and that when Sheriff Berry put
those Bris ,ners IN his charge he meant business.
1t seems to us al tnis distaaee that Sheriff
Berry, who made the arrests. was the prouer
person to determine whether they should be
held or not. And it furthermore seems that Mr..
Lane should know that he was not in any way
responsible, nor could be held responsible for an
Qhicial act ordered by his superior officer, The
prisoners were placed in his charge by the sher-
1T Of Aissoula county unpop the request of the
under sheriff Of this county and we are still Of
the opinion he should have held them until
they were released by advice other than that
otfered by the prisoners or his own counsel. In
mailing these remarks we wish it understood
we do not desire to relsct at all upon Mr..
lanes integrity as an officer, but that his error,
he committed one, was an error in judgment.

JOHN
Music Hath Charms to hOothe the
Savage Breast.

"%Arsonaut,' in the Los Angeles Mirror.
The caption was never more forcibly Illus
trated than in the days of the gold hunters,
when John Kelley, the violinist, went from
camp to camp sofienins the hardened heart of
many a good man who had gone sstray, With
the tender influences of his music. It is safe to
say that more influence for good was welded
all the books and missionaries in the State, put
tog. Their. Imsgtne y row and fight about 70
take pace at the Bank Exchange; a crisis is
reached, when sweet melody bursts forth on the
turbulent scene. Kelley is folding. All cease
to hear tbs music, and before the air is half fin
ished you see men, a moment previous in vio-
lent passion, smiling, and when Kelley has fin
ished and the last melodious strain has died
away, peace reigns where strife and bloodshed
seemed imminent.
The last time I saw Kelley, until now, was at
Oroville, twenty-five years ago, and at that sime
1 verify tslieye his music saved the life of the
writer hereof. 1 was one of q mining party Of
three. We fell cut and one, an ugly fellow as l
thought. swore he would have my scalp. One
night 1 went to the Bank / 4 change. I carried
my revolver in my sleeve and kept an eye opel
for my would-be assassin. Kelley was fddling
and at the end of a piece my man came toward
me with a broad grin on his taca and said,
"coAround it let's shake hards and be friends"
somewhat reluctantly, and on guard, an
swered: "But you said you'd shoot me on
sight"
:" know 1 did n so I intended, but after
hearing Kelley play "ANlA Lang syne' and
Home Sweet Home 1 changed my mind. Now
I couldn't kill a cat"
The other day 1 met Kelley. l felt cross
quarrelsome and out of sorts, and when I saw
him the tender memories Of a day that is dead
Tiled my soul with joy. Coo bless John Kelley,
is the wish of the surviving gotd hunters who
in the long ago, were cheered by his sweet
music.

BUSINESS
Gratifying Evidences Of Healthy
Growth and solid Prosperity.

An unfailing indice of the prosperity of any
community is the expansion of its business cen
tre. Three years ago the business touses Of
Butte were confined to Main street, between
Park and Quartz. Even this contracted quar-
ter was not fully occupied, and the buildings
were generally of an exceedingly unpretentious
style of architecture, Gradually vacant spaces
were &C. upiad by substantial brick structures.
Small buildings were RACED to the ground to be
replaced by elegant stores which would do
credit to cities Of q larger growth. Among the
structures which have during that time added
to the metropolitan appearance of Main street
are d. H. Cohsn's Capitol building, John Noyes'
building, occupied by the elegant grocery estab-
lishment of Casey a. Brophy, Clark & Larabie's
bank, Sands & Boyce's remodeled dry goods
store, the postofice block and the Renshaw
building. Probably no other city Of the north
west could show as much substantial imp owe
ment of its business centre in q corresponding
period of time. But even with these increased
accommodations for the trade of the city,
the swelling pr. portions Of our local traffic
have been greatly cramped in the quarters al
lotted to trade, and during the past year tho
tendency has been in the direction OF general
expansion. Business has crept northWard on
Main street, and every building north of Quartz
street, at all adapted to business purposes, is
now we'll occupied. The improvements on
West Park street are particularly noticeable, and
from Main to Montana street has become a solid
block of business houses, and the pressure of
trade upon its heretofore limited boundaries
has resulted in the erection of several stores on
that thoroughfare, the improvements upon
which are evidently not at an end, as is shown
by the construction at the corner of Main and
Park of a fine two.story brick business building,
recently commenced by Messrs Hamilton &
Pfouts. West Broadway has also shared in the
general prosperity of the city, and does not now
contain a single vacant business house. These
gratifying evidences of healthy growth are the
natural result ofa solid prosperity hasod upon
the phenomenal development of great nat
iilral resources 20 and the day may not be far dis
tant when the curling smoke from the stacks OF
q hundred mills and smelters may wreathe Its
graceful curves over a city of fifty thousand in
hahitaants, with It's Main street. built up Of solid
btric,i: and stately granite from Centerville' to the
railroad, and its retail business occupying the
entire mt length Of Park street and Broadway.

Great Fails.

We have been permitted to read a letter from
Mr.. Paris Gibson, of Fort Benton. to the Rev.
Mr.. Blackiston. of this city, in WHICH the Wri.er
gives some news of interest which has not here
tQfore been made public. Mr.. Gibson writes
that Ar. J: J. Hill, the Minnesota railroad mag
nate. has decided to humid his railroad to the
Great Falls of the Missouri above Fort Benton.
A town site has been located at that point and
lots axe nov offered tn purchasers. Mr.. Hill
will soon erect a large Trick hotel at the place
and has about concluded arrangements
with Messrs. T. e.. Power and Mcknight
to build a large store there and stock it heavily.
Mr.. Hill has thoroughly examined the country
adjacent to the Great Falls and has come to the
conclusion that its resources fully justify him to
build a road and make the Improvements men
TONED. The immense deposit of coking coal
discovered at Sand Caulie and the
hattering outlook for Neihart and other mining
which would become tributary to the
treat Fal.s are among the reasons which have

Probably a Murder:
Livingston Enter prise.

Readers Of the Enterprise may remember that
last winter q human skull was found on Mr..
Cox's ranch four miles below the Big Timber.
No other portion of the skeleton was found at
that time as snow covered a greater pa1t Of the
ground and coyotes had evidently carried the
SKULL some distance from its original resting
place. From T: P, Mcdonald, Of this city. who
who was at Big Timber q few DAYS. ago, we
learn the sequel Of the story. The remaining
portion of the skeleton was found entire to
gether with clothes and bending. The body
had been buried and a fire built on the grave
From careful examination OF the remains
the fol owing description has been
made up: A man about five feet eight inches
tall. with sandy complexion and short beard.
He was dressed in navy blue undershirt with
dark stripes, canvas vest, blue
blouse, no drawers heavy yellow
woolel paAts. and blue o~veralls. His
bedding consisted of California blankets com:
mon print quilt or comfort, and an Gil cloth
spread. Mr.. Cox remembers that two years ago
ground and remained some time. They claimed
to have come from Butte and to have been en-
plOyed there iu hauling quartz. They remained
in camp there a long while. Kept Up q large
fire a great part of the time ana consumed all
the wood in that Vicinity Who they were he
does not know, but he believes that the man
whose skeleton has just been discovered was
buried there by them and precautions taken i0a
its concealment. 1t is not at al mnroLab!e that
this is another Of the many insetuces Of murder
that will always tantain a mystery,
