THE LATEsT.-I5 is said that in Wash
ipp,on this week suspenders and carriers
were in great demand for Christmas pre-
SCENTS. Ladies were out in force there. They
freoueuted the stores where gentlemen's
roods are made specially. There seemed
TO he an epidemic among them to buy fancy
suspenders. 1t would not be an exagsela
ton to say that seven out of every ten la
dies who were purchasing things Wednes.
day night bought pair of suspenders,
gaudy and elaborate, for her best young
man. In fact, the fancy suspender seems to
have taken the place of the traditional slip,
per. A shoe dealer on the Avenue said
that the sale of slippers had fallen off very
much this year. Instead" he said, "oi the
girls working pair of slippers for their
young men, or buying them a pair, they
embroider or buy pair Of suspenders Tor
them" There was a novelty, too, IN the
purchases of the young men. They went
in TO very considerable extent for garters.
1t was wonderful the variety of carriers thu !,
were for sale. A pair could be bought all
the way from ten cents to seven dollars.
Young men invested in them recklessly.
When they bought pair they Invariably
hestated a moment. They were at loss
to tell exactly what size they wanted.

Fort Macleod, like every town in the

The Helena. coach is now making
splendid time, and Notwithstanding the
dull season the line is doing a good bus

ton all the way through, and when the
season OF hard staging ONE on, which

can be made despite the storms on the
Birdtail and the bad roads. Under the

A party of hungry travellers arrived
at the 28-Mile Springs pretty late, a few
nights ago, and asked the proprietor if
they could get anything to eat. "Well,"
he said, Il don't know it depends on
the Chinaman If you can get him up,
all right" They went to the China
mans room. awakened him, and were
informed that they could get nothing.
Reporting the matter to Vance, he
wanted the party to devise some means
to get the Celestial up. well" said
OF the travellers, ''you are the boss.n
"You bet [ am" was the reply. Vance
proceeded to the room, reused the sleep

shouted the travellers. The window be-
ing open, John was thrown bodily out
into the night. Then the Chinaman
went into the kitchen and the guests

Land SLIDE at the Cracon-du-Nez.

From Fridays Daily.
The land slide at the Cracon-du-Nez,
which had for several days been expect
ed, occurred night before last and yes
terday. The land for about 200 feet back
from the river has been settling for
some time; i'll fact the dangerous condi-
ton Of the main travelled roads made it
necessary to build a new one some dis
lance from the old ones. The slide has
taken the hill up to the point where the
crack first appeared, n the entire mass
is preclpitated into the river. There is
new a perpendicular pitch OF more than
200 feet to the bottom. A portion OF the
old road went down entire and can be
seen from the bank above. This mass
OF earth has a the effect OF partially
closing the river channel, Or rather con-
timing it TO the other bank. Various
conjectures as to the cause OF the slide
are INDUCED in. Many are OF the opin-
ion that the Teton, which is forty Ieet
higher than the Missouri, is finding a
channel through, which will eventually
wash the entire hill away others that
the channel OF the Missouri, which in
high water is thrown directly against
the bank, has had the effect Of under
mining it.. TO get a practicable road
ONCI ILLS lii ID tIOuSAt Y No ilpoooA0
BILE ; at all events, to get a safe road will
require considerable engineering skill.
The county commissioners will take a
look at it to-day and devise some means
by which a road to benefit the farmers
and others will be made at once. It is
the opinion of those we'll informed in
the premises that the old Sanborn road
should be adopted. No grading will be
required, the only expense being the
construction Of d bridge across the
Teton.

Great Falls Notes.

From a gentleman who has just re-
turned from Great Falls we learn the
following relative to the improvements
going on and those in contemplation:
Five good, substantial houses have al
ready been built, and four are III course
Of construction. About twelve addi-
tional ones will be put up this fall. A
Touring mill, it is said, will be erected
before winter. This will be put up as
soon as the wing dam is built, the sur
veys for which have been made, and
work will m in a few days.
Water of an excellent quality is found
everywhere at a depth OF sixteen to
thirty feet. Work will commence in a
few days on the new hotel, for which
about sec, 900 brick have been burnt.
This will be one Of the finest hotels in
the territory, when completed.

J. D. Weatherwax's Affairs Not SO Bad as
Reported.

A private letter from Utica, received
Wednesday, brings the pleasing infor-
nation that the financial affairs Of J. d.
WeatherWax are not 80 bad as have
been reported. Apart from the security
debt OF 5 1000 for which his stock of
merchandise was attached by the Mon
tana National Bank of Helena, he has
nc creditors Of any consequence outside
of this city, and his assets are ample
even at forced sale to pay every dollar
he owes. The Montana National at
tached all the property belonging to
Wallace they could touch, which must
first go to satisfy the debt, and to this
extent, whatever it may be, Mr.. Wealth
erWax's burden will be lessened. Ar
engagements, no doubt, will at once be
made by which Mr.. w. will be enabled
to resume his business, and those to
whom he is indebted need not fear but
that they will get every dollar due them.

Killed by P1egans.

The Billings Post of the 21st contains
the following piece Of news:
SWEET GRASS, M. T., Aug. 3, 1884.
A man just in from the Crazy noun
tains reports the finding of u dead man
supposed to be John McKuisick, and
says he was undoubtedly killed by Pie
gans. John was here a few days ago,
hunting horses, and followed the Pie
gans when they made their raid through
here, and since then he has not been
heard from. The report is undoubtedly
correct. I merely write you this so that
his friends may look the matter up, and
I hope they may find his slayers and
bring them to justice.
Yours, respectfully, |
THOMAS DENTON.
