At Thompson Falls, city of twenty
one DAYS growth, there were about fifty
houses or tenements, the most of them
frame buildings, the others tents in which
were domiciled from two to three hundred
of the livest people in the land An active
business is here carried on in the trans
portation of lumber for building houses
from Aliens saw mills, in which numoer
of mule teams are engaged.
On his business trip Mr.. WoOdman sold
over two thousand dollars worth OF sup.
plies, which were shipped to-day from the
Helena house of Kleinschmidt q Ryan
For the purpose of general merchandising
Mr. James NJ. Ryan has formed partner
ship with r. Nj. Crawley, a former civil en-
gineer with the Northern Pacific. railroad,

son Falls City, 25x6O, where a stock of
goods will be placed Immediately. They
will locate another store at Raven City, at
the western base of the mountains, and
just where the rich placers begin.

Globe Democrat: SOUTH CAROLINA
stands charged with $124,00O for arms
issued to the State in excess of the quota
to which she was entitled, and Senator
Hampton has introduced bill to can
Gel the obligation. Before the bill is
put upon its final passage it is to be
hoped some Senator will explain that
the arms in question were issued to the
Governor of the State, and by him dis
tributed to volunteer militia companies
called out TO resist threatened kuklux
insurrection, and that said companies
were overpowered and disbursed by
the kuklux raiders, and the arms taken
from them and converted to private use.
1t might be well to require these arms to
be gathered up and turned in or ac-
counted for as condition precedent to
the serious consideration of a PROPOSE
ton to relieve South Carolina of re-
sponsibility.in the premises.

THERE are fair prospects that the i'm
mense Sioux reservation will be consid
erably curtailed by Congress before the
close Of the present session. Not so
much is heard about the cutting down
of the unwieldly reservations covering
so much of the best grazing lands of
Montana, but it is to be hoped that sim
liar action will result from the strenuous
efforts of our people looking to that
most desirable end.

THE WORLDS FAIR AT NEW OR.
LEANS.

A recent copy of the New Orleans
Tines Democrat, furnished by General
Harris contains, besides an interesting
obituary of Minister Hunt, glowing ac-
counts of the preparations making for
the Worlds Fair, which is to make that
city the center of life and attraction
during the next autumn and winter.
Very many of our people who have
sp ent the past winter in Southern Cali
fornia will spend the next at New Or
leans. The Crescent City has begun in
earnest new era of existence, with the
completion of the railroads to the Pa
cifc, all over Texas, with connections
soon to be made into Mexico.
The revival of prosperity is associated
with the revival Of industry, and moth
ing will serve better to stimulate indus
try than such an industrial exhibition
as contemplated. The South has an
abundance of resources that only lack
development to assure abundance OF
prosperity. New Orleans is situated
favorably to profit by the vast commerce
that is likely to follow the formation
of reciprocity treaties with Mexico and
Central and South America.
The improvement of the Mississippi
river, in which we have every confidence,
will introduce this swelling commerce
into the very heart of the continent.
We bear in mind that the source
and head of navigation of this great
Father of Water are in Montana. We
have natural ties of connection that in
coming years will grow stronger and
more intimate.

Business Outlook at Havana.

HAVANA, March 10.-The commercial
situation is very critical. The low prices
Of sugar, the lightness of the money market
and general distrust are accelerating a
crisis that may involve all branches of
business. At Sagua, Rodrigues & Co, !,
sugar exporters, have failed with liabili-
ties exceeding 100000. At Cardinas,
Myres & Co., banking and commission
merchants, also engaged in sugar export
ing, have suspended, being heavily involved
in the failure of Rodrigues & Co. Mac
killer q Luling are in difficulties of long
standing. The sugar market is depressed
by the scarcity of sugar exporters, so many
OF whom have failed during the last few
years. One or two other banks in Havana
are regarded with distrust.

THE largest cattle ranch in the world
is said to be that of Charles Goodnight,
at the head of Red river, Texas. He be-
gan buying land four years ago, securing
10000 acres at 95 cents per acre. In
the meantime the price has advanced
from 81 to 50 per acre, but he is still
buying, and controls 100000 acres. To
inclose his landed possessions 259 miles
of fence is required. On the range he
has 10000 cattle.

Opening Ofthe German Reichstag. z.

BERLIN, March 6.-The Reichstag was
opened to-day with the usual formalities.
A speech from the throne was read by Hon.
Won Boetticher and asserts that the chief
task of the Reichstag lies in the domain of
social and political affairs, and says the
Emperor's wish, which has been solenHly
and repeatedly expressed, for the improv e.
ment of the condition of the workingmen
has met with full approval of part of the
German people. Among the numerous bills
announced is one providing for scheme of
accident insurance. After the adoption of
which the Emperor recommends the for
nation of a system of insurance for the in
firm and aged. This is intended to pre-
vent any possible attempts at the over
throw OF the divine and human order of
things and it will pave the way for the
abrogatiOn of existing exceptional meas
ures. A bill will be introduced providing
that the anti socialist law shall remain in
force for further period. Another will
propose an amendment to the present sys-
tenn of insurance against sickness

Outrages on the Jews.

BERLIN, March 9.-The four Jews who
were acquitted at Konitz of the charge of
setting fire to the synagogue at Neustettin
have been severely maltreated by the pop
ulace of the latter place, one of them
being nearly killed by the mob. Most of

erless to prevent the outrages.

Manitoba Trouble.

WINNIPEG, March 5.-A large number
were present at the Farmers Union Con-
vention, which organized to-day and
drafted resolutions to be submitted to the
convention tomorrow. A good deal OF
talk was INDUCED in. Harmony prevailed
All are determined to enforce the demands
of the province. The present convention
must decide what course will be taken.
Secession from confederation is strong
ly urged and an appeal to the British
government seems inevitable. Decisive
action is expected tomorrow.
WINNIPEG, March 6.-The convention
has been delayed by the difficulty OF the
committee to obtain an interview with the
local government. Premier has been out
of town and could not be found until to-
night. He expresses sympathy with the
convention but will not declare the course
that should be taken in the event Of the
Dominion not granting the concessions.
The delegates are now reporting to the con-
vention. A motion was introduced to-day
favoring an appeal to England to allow
Manitoba to withdraw from the confeder-
alton and be British colony, with seper-
ate constitution and government Of its
own. The session will probably last all
night

HALF OUT OF HIS HEAD

"Blessed be the man. said Don Quixote'G
weary squire, "who invented Sleep" San
cho's gratitude is ours, but chat if one can
not for any reason enjoy that excellent in
yention? Nervousness in me had become
disease" writes Mr. William Coleman, the
well known wholesale druggist of Buffalo,
NY.
81 could not sleep, and my nights were
either passed in that sort CT rcstleSsneSS
which nearly crazeS man, or in kind OF
Stupor, haunted by tormenting dreams.
Having taken PARKER's Tonic for other
troubles, tried il also for this. The re-
suit both surprised and delighted me. My
nerves were toned to concert pitch, and,
like Caesars fat men. fell into the ranks
of those who sleep o nights. | should add
that the Tonic speedily did away with the
condition of general debility and dyspepsia
occasioned by my previous seeplessncss.
and gave me strength aud perfect digestion.
In brief, the use of the Tonic thoroughly re-
established my health. l have used PAR
KER's Toxic with entire success fer seat
sickness and for the bowel disorders ipciden-
to ocean voyages.
This preparation has heretofore been
known as PARKER's GINGER Toxic. Here
after it will be advertised and sold under
the name of PARKER's ToNIc-omitting the
word 'tgtnger." HIscox & Co., are induced
to make his change by the action of un-
principled dealers who have for years de-
ceived their customers by substituting in
ferior preparations under the name Of ginger.
We drop the misleading word all the more
willingly, as ginger is an unimportant favor
ing ingredient in our Tonic.
Please remember that no change has been,
or will be, made in the preparation itself.
and all bottles remaining in the bands Of
dealers, wrapped under the name Of PAR
KEg's GINGER Toxic, contain the genuine
medicine if the fac-simile signature of HIS
COY & Co. is at the bottom Of the outside

THE SECRETARY NOT TO BLAME

Complaint has been made as to de-
lay in printing the Acts and joint
resolutions, and this delay is un-
reasonably attributed to the Secre-
tary Of States Office, for the reason
that Section 495 Of the Gen. Stat
utes says 1.-THE indexing of the Acts
and Joint Resolutions OF each Ses-
sion of the General Assembly shall
be performed in the Secretary
of States office and under his super
vision" The censure therefore ma
turally attaches to this officer and
his clerical force, until the matter
is explained, as follows the legisla-
ture by resolution at its last ses-
sion said that this work should be
done by the clerks of the Senate
and House. It should should have
been completed three weeks after
the session closed, but Col. FarroW,
clerk of the Senate, left to take
charge of clerkship in Washing
ton; this threw the work into the
hands of Col. Sloan, of the House.
He has been sick two-thiFds Of the
time since-and tie work is not yet
done. We simply state these facts
to relieve Capt. Lipscomb and his
clerks of any blame in the delay.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Since Mr..
Riser moved to town We, in this
little 9burg" have been without a
postofice, but we expect to have
one in short time, as Mrs. c. E..
Pratt has consented to be our post
mistress.
/ will give you a few changes
that have taken place in No. 4, this
year: Mr.. L. P. W. Riser has
moved to your city and Mr.. Jack
Summer to Mr.. Riser's place, Mr..
J. G. Houseal has moved to town,
Mr.. W. C. Cromer purchased Mr..
HouseaPs plantation and moved to
it, Mr.. Jas. benson and family
have moved to Greenville, Mr..
Monroe Wesson has moved to
Arkansas, Mr.. James D. johnson
and family have moved to Jalapa.
Mr.. F. n. Gaines has purchased
the old Gaines homestead, and is
preparing to turn big wheel.
I have heard a good little joke on
one Of our Johns. / will call no
name, but let me just give you his
initials. T. D. Jr." There !!
q have told his name). vohn was
a gallant for very estimable y, lng
lady, and was driving his horse-to
a buggy-with a borrowed Dutch
collar. The horse came to deep
mud and, not being accustomed to
that kind of a collar, refused to
pull; all the coaxing, begging, kind
words, &C., availed nothing. O.,
what is to be done ? An idea strikes
John. He hands the lines and
whip to the young lady, gets out
and mounts the horse, astride-
but no go. Finally John had to
get the old fashioned collar before
he could move one peg. Strange,
John has never told the joke-it
came from the other driver.
I saw Mr. S. w. Y. this after
noon, terribly excited. asked,
what is the matte? ? Mad dogs!

mad dogs" and it was so.

OUR PLACE.

We are inclined to ask whether
It would not be good thing for
the South to take care of the States
and let the nation take care of it
self. We have stood in line with
the national Democratic party for
years, or rather we have blindly
followed the lead of that party !;
we have sneezed when it took
snuff we have fought it's battles
and done It's drudgery We have
furnished three fourths of the cleo
toral strength of the party, and
shouted, till We were arse, for
northern nominees and it is high
time to change this all-work-and-
no-pay program. The South is
expected to do all these things,
but she is not even allowed to stall
the ticket" or to open her mouth
in the nominating conventions.
There are always specious argu-
ments to show Why the ticket should
be composed Of northern men, west
ern men. and eastern men, but nev-
er a southern man.
We have no idea that o southern
man would give sufficient weight
to the ticket to enable it to win,
but We are equally far from believ-
ing that he would take much weight
from it. Judged by results, the
Democratic ticket has had little
weight, these twenty years-it has
Invariably 'tgone up" We have
small faith in those political proph-
cts who predict Democratic sue
cess in the near future, and we fear
that their prophecy is born of de-
sire bnt, while the fun is going on,
we southerners ought to have at
least the satisfaction Of tossing up
our hats and shouting for a south
ern nominee.
A southern candidate for vice
president would excite some enthu-
siasm in the South, tho he might
not come within drum-beat Of vic
tory. And, apsrt from the novel
ty, we think We are entitled to some
ofthe meagre honors of the party.

The interview with Mayor Pope,
which we publish to-day, will be in:
teresting to our citizens. It is
gratifying to know that the finances
of our town are in good condition
and that "eyery year we can pay of
considerable sum OF our back in
debtedness, snd pay in cash the cur
rent expenses of our town." When
the Opera House was built, persons
were not wanting who faneied that
they saw coming disaster and col
lapse of the town treasury. But
the mayors words will set at rest
any doubts on this subject.
Peace and order prevail in our
town, and we are truly a law
abiding community.
Our municipal affairs have been
wisely administered, and much OF
the honor and credit attending the
present order of things is due to
the gentlemen who compose the
Council. We are confident that
they will be retained in Office, IN,
less they refuse to serve. Mr..
Pope frankly states that the du,
ties Of the Mayor are increasing
yearly, and that his time is de.
manded by his private and profes'
sional duties. The citizens of our
town cannot refuse to consider his
utterances on the subject.

If Governor Thompson stands
for reelection next fall, the man
who opposes him will get what he
deserves signal defeat. Gov
ernor Thompson is good enough
for US, and we think he has given
perfect satisfaction to the people.
We believe that he accepted the Of
fee of Governor at personal sac
riiee and against his inclinations,
but We would not advocate retain
ing him in Office on this account
alone, though it is matter worthy
of consideration. No, he will be
reelected because he is what he is
capable, active, patriotic, above
reproach.

Why suffer longer from dyspep-
sia, indigestion want of appetite,
loss of strength, lack of energy,
malaria, intermittent fevers, etc. !?
Browns Iron Bitters never fail to
cure these diseases. They act like
a charm on the digestive organs, re-
moving all dyspeptic symptoms,
such as belehing heartburn, bilious
ness, etc. Remember it is the on
