A VOICE FROM DEER LODGE.
A Defamatory Statement Noticed
by the Oornet Band.

DEER LODGE, Mont, May p. "a.
AT full meeting Of the Deer
Lodge Silver Cornet Ban d held this
date the following action was taken
in relation to an article published in
the Butte Daily Inter Mountain,
which reads as follows:
DEPARTURE OF A F1END.
Geo. s. Kramer, the instructor of
the Deer Lodge brass band, <.as zone
to Missouri whence he will finally
descend to hades. He is responsible
for a grave sin which the people of
Deer Lodge hold him strictly &C
countable for. It is said that he not
only refused to teach the band more
than one tune but that he used to
make it get out and serenade respec-
table citizens at all hours of the day
and night. He was engaged In q ne
farlous business and if there is any
law in this country he ought to be
brought back ana made to feel its
power"
Resotued, That the above article is
unjust and uncalled for, and that its
author is entitled to the condemna-
tion of the Band, as well as every
good citizen of Deer Lodge.
Resolved further, That in what
ever light the above was written and
published, the paper giving publicity
to the same should be held strictly
accountable therefor. Though 1t may
be sought to palm it off as q joke,
nevertheless the young gentleman in
question, being comparatively
stranger to the people of Butte and
those among whom the paper circu-
lates, as well as the paper itself, it
cannot be otherwise construed than
q slur cast upon the Band and defam-
atory of the good name Of its late
worthy leader.
Resolved further, That in the esti-
nation of every member of the Band,
the said Geo. $. Kramer was not only
an able and efficient leader, but
most estimable gentleman and ex-
emplary citizen and be If further
Eesolued, That it is a notorious
fact that the SAID Geo. S. Kramer
was not exacting In HE demands,
but, on the contrary, loaned his SER
vices on serenades and on extra
occasions only when requested.
And, further
Resolved, AS to his being guilty of
"nefarious" or sinful" practices, it
is untrue in every particular, as
every citizen of Deer Lodge can
testify.

TRAMPS OUT OF LUCK.
Tnrea OF them Langutshing In the
County Bastlle.

Officers and employees of the Utah
and Northern have been greatly an
aoyed lately by tramps breaking into
box cars for the purpose of stealing
rides from one point to another on
the line of the road. The frequency
of these breahings in have melted the
officers to unusual vigilance which
they propose to maintain until the
nuisance is abated. Last Monday
they made haul. Three tramps
who gave their names :as Charles
Farrow, Jacob w. Welskropf
and Richard Butler broke into
q box car at SILVER Bow for the pur-
pose, it is supposed of stealing ride
to some place below. They were dis
covered, arrested and tried before
Justice Nichols yesterday, who gave
them 80 days each in the county bas-
tile.

the amendment proposed by the ~en-
ate committee restricting pensions to
those dependent on their labor or in
whole or In part for assistance from
Others. Motion agreed to; yeas, 40:
nays, 20. One clause of the hill a. it
came from the House repeals that
section Of the Revised Statutes that
prohibits pensions to soldiers who
were engaged in rebellion against the
United states, but limits the repeal
to cases coming under this act. The
Senate committee recommended the
striking cut of Limitation, but the
Senate by vote of IS yeas to rs nays
laid the amendment on the table.
Hoar moved an amendment ex-
tending the provision of the bill so as
to include all soldiers of the Union
army who served in the war of the
rebellion.
Logan remarked, he supposed this
was offered to kill the bill.
Hoar replied, "precjsely."
Pending debate the Senate ad-
journed.

ton Of internal revenue, Thompson

at the proper time he would offer to
the pending bill, consolidating GUS
toms and internal revenue districts
and establishing one tax collection
district in each State and Territory
The bill was then read by para
graphs for amendment. The para
graph specifying the committees of
the House, which shall be entitled to

of discussion.
Belford offered an amendment pro-
viding that in conformity with the
civil service reform principle no

ter for any member OF the House,
rendering him liable to removal for

lowing by Steam.

FARGO, May 27.-A number OF
heavy wheat growers from all parts
of north Dakota were here to-day to
witness the experiment of blowing
by steam, and express themselves en-
t6usiastic over the result. The engine
drew eight plows, turning a sod four
inches thick as evenly and well as
horse power, at the rate of over %
acres per day. This will work y new
era In wheat growing, as it will
enable farmers to plow at q cost Of
no more than 81 Per acre.

National Greenbac 4 Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May 2S.-The
National Grt enback Convention
assembled in English's opera house
at IL o'clock. Hon. John Tyler
lFlorida) was elected temporary
chairman. All the States were repre-
sented except Delaware and Missis-
sippi. The business transacted at
the morning session was the appoint.
ment of a committee on credentials,
one from each State. The contest
from Maine, there being two sets of
deles ates, one headed 10y Solon
Chase, anti-Butler. is the only one of
importa-ce. Geo. o. Jones, of New
York, attempted several times to get
in q resO tuition favorable to the Chase
delegation, but was not recognized
BY the chair. and hurled down by the
invention. Adjourned till 2 O'Clock,
give Tue credential committee
time to report. :,
Most of the afternoon was occupied
in the discussion of the question
whether delegates representing States
whose delegates were not complete
should be allowed to cast the entire
vote which the States were entitled
to. The discussion was quite spirited
and at times great confusion and dis
order prevailed. After 3 hours debate
1t was decided no votes be counted,
except those of delegates actually
present. This is regarded as a tri-
umph for Butler. Under this deci-
sion the actual vote of the convention
is All. Itwas ordered that all reso-
lutions he referred to the committee
without debate. A committee on
resolutions, one delegate from each
State, was then appointed.
The committee On permanent or
KanlzatiOn submitted the following
report which was adopted: For
President, James B. Weaver, OF Iowa.
During the day the following tele'
grams passed between Governor be'
gole and General Butler:
