Laws Relating to Highways.

Three laws relating to highways were
made by the late legislature. One pro-
vides that all road taxes shall be collected
in cash, and repeals that portion of the
road law which provides for the payment
of taxes in labor The collector of taxes
is required to serve notice on persons
having laborers in their employ, after
which the employer Of laborers is held res
ponsiblc for the road tax of his men and re-
quired to deduct the same from their wages.
Another of the laws gives road matters en-
tirely into the control of the county COM
missloners who appoint the road super
visors instead of permitting the election of
those officers. The third of the system
authorizes county commissioners to make
contracts for keeping roads inrepair. By
those competent to judge end fully ac-
quainted with their provisions these three
laws are said to form system of high
way supervision much superior to that
hitherto in vogue.

An illustrated NeWspaper.

Last Sundays St. Paul Globe contained
portrait labelled delegate Maginnis'
and purporting to be picture Of Mon
tana's handsome, debonair ex-delegate
The picture looked about as much like
the honorable Martin as it does like the
remains of the late lamentcd Con Murphy
Farther down the column was picture
that was probably originally intended to
represent Major Maginnis but was labelled
"Gen. Jos. E. Johnston" ex-confcderate
general. The Globe should not allow its
democratic enthusiasm or the exigences
Of journalism to mix up exccrable wood
cuts in such way that assgallant officer of
the Union army is given the face of a
prominent confederate general, especially
when the latter looks like the crumpled
visage of a decayed corn doctor on the
wrapper of one of his own packages.

A Strange Case.


Mr.. Whelan, janitor of the school
house in Livingston, hands US copy Of
the Marengo, Qlls.) Republican which
contains the record of a remarkable case
of illness and death. The victem was
George Buck, former fellow townsman
of Mr.. Whelan, and the latter is able to
vouch for the reliability of the account.
Mr.. Buck had been in poor health several
years. HIS bones appeared very brittle
and would break very easily. Last sum
mer this peculiarly Of his case became
rapidly more marked and before his death
the honey substance seemed to have dis
appeared altogether, leaving in the place
only a soft blood-red substance that re-
sembled liver. Before his death his body
shrank in length over foot and in girth a
proportionate amount. His legs, arms
and fingers became SO flexible and bone
less that they might have been tied in
knots. His skull became soft and elastic
as foot ball and could he pressed into
any shape Owing to the dissolution of
the frame work of bone the body, before
death, flattened out as we'll as shrank and
the organs were thus displaced. The
physicians who attended him and per-
formed an autopsy say that no case nearly
like this is recorded in medical books or
known to the science.

The Power of Rillicule.

4 professor in Vassar College says
that the managers are really alarmed by
the steady falling off in pupils during
the past five years. The number now
is only little more than half that of
1876. "The cause isn't any deterioration
of the college ITSELF" said the Professor,
sfor it is the same noble school as ever.
The trouble is that Vassar has become
thing to poke fun at. Half the new
jokes about girls are put upon Vassar
students. Their doings are ridiculed,
exaggerated, falsified, and the very
name of Vassar is synonym for feni-
nine foolishness. The consequence is
that girls are beginning to dislike to go
there. l wouldn't be surprised to see
the doors of the college shut in FIVE
years more. The newspaper paragraph
ers will have done it.

Ayers Newspaper Annual.

We have received copy of N. W. Aver
& Sons (Philadelphia) Newspaper Annual
of 1884. We regard it as the superior of
any similar work of the character that we
have ever seen. Not only does it give
very full and apparently correct details
of the newspaper publication business of
the United States and Canada with its re-
lation to advertising, but it also gives the
statistics of population, party vote, ETC., of
every state, territory and county in the
Union; the character of tie surface and
the soil and the chief industries of each
county; list of all towns in the United
States having population of 5000 or up
ward and other various information of
great interest and value. This work makes
volume of over 1000 pages; to be had

The Deadly Avalanche.

~O-~~-O--"'
About seven weeks ago P. B. Schlasman,
Frank Hasscrt, James Hassert and P. J.
Schmidt, all Of Bozeman, went up into
Bridger canyon, fifteen miles from home, to
work on coal prospect for Spieth &
Krug. They intended to be out about
two weeks, but when they did not return
long after that time had expired nothing
seems to have been thought of the deten-
ton. A cousin of Schlasman concluded
to visit him on Monday and went up the
canyon for the purpose. When he arri-
we'd there he found that gigantic ava
lanche had swept down the mountain side,
moving down the forest in its path, and
had buried the mine and miners cabin.
Warning was given in Bozeman and a
large rescuing party went up to the scene
Of the slide and began excavation. But it
was all too late. Three of the bodies were
found in the wreck of the cabin and
from letters, the time at which their
watches had stopped and such circum-
stances it appeared that early on the
morning of February 10, while they were
asleep, the terrible mass of snow had over
whelmed them. One body lay in the ex-
act attitude OF sleep, another was slightly
stirred and the third had been rolled and
crushed to death. The fourth body had
not been found at last accounts.

Appointments From the Territories.

Washington telegram, 18th: A delega-
ton Of gentlemen representing all the ter
1tories except New Mexico visited the
White House at II this forenoon to lay
before the president their views in regard
to territorial government. There were in
the territorial delegation John Haley of
Idaho, Judge Mead of Arizona, M. H.
Day of Dakota, Judge J. A. Kuhn Of
Washington territory, Delegate Toole Of
Montana, Judge Merritt Of Utah and w.
J. Mccormack of Montana, all members
of the national committee. Mr.AHalley
acted as spokesman for the party and said
they came to learn what the administra.
ton was going to do in territorial affairs.
Mr.. Cleveland replied briefly, but clearly,
that he should appoint to territorial offices
men from the territories. He also clearly
pledged himself to the recommendations
of democrats within the territories and
not be decided in his choice of men for
governors by outside pressure.

Horse Thieves

Billings Rustler: A couple of horse
thieves, late Saturday night, undertook
the work of abducting from off the Crow
reservation fifteen Indian ponies. The
steal was soon discovered by the Indians
and thirty-two bucks, we'll armed, started
on the war path, in hot porsuit of the
thieves. The Indians overlook the thieves
at the head of Five-mile creek last Sunday
night, recapturing the stolen ponies, to-
gether with the bedding, ETC.. belonging
to the thieves. There were some shots ex-
changed, and the Indians are of the 'opin-
ion that they killed the thieves. Plenty
Coues who led the rescuing party of In
dians is positive that ;the thieves were
killed.

A Big Nugget.

The Cnur d. Alene Sun thus describes
the heaviest gold nugget ever found in
those diggings. Itwas taken by a miner
named Jackson from the Gillette claim of
of which he is one of the lessees. It was
found to be irregular in shape, nearly
four inches long, two ard half wide and
one in thickness, and weighed 10 ounces
13 pennyweights and eighteen grains, the
largest nugget ever found in the Ceur d.
Alene mines. 1t carries some quartz,
which will probably amout to an ounce,
while the gold is of bright yellow
with no rusty stems and is we'll rolled.

Park Committee.

One of Speaker Carlisle's last official
acts was to appoint Holman, Hatch, Peel,

priations for Indian schools and the ad-
ministration of the laws relative to the
National Park.

No Law.

Though the bill to exempt the property
of the Butte and Bozeman railroad from
taxation passed the lower house and the
council it did not become law. Gov
ernor Carpenter did not sign the bill and
consequently it is of none effect. The
governors reason for Withholding his sig
nature is understood to have been his be-
lief that the bill was at variance with the
organic act of the territory and would
only be quashed by the courts if it be-
came law.

TWeedleGuIn and Tweasllasloo

The difference "betwixt tweedledum
and tWeedledee' is thus pretty neatly
set forth by an exchange: "You can
tell the people if you want to fill up
your paper, that l am going to start
shop here to manufacture and repair
wagons and carriages" said man to a
newspaper publisher "Would you like
to have it standing advertisement ?"
said the editor. "Oh, l only want an
item," was the response. "Would YOU
like to subscribe for the paper?" ",Vell.
no; I'm taking all 1 can read now-I
may take yours when some of them
runs OUT The next day the editor
wanted two new spokes put in his bug
gy and the dashboard fixed up, and he
went to the shop-keeper and said: "You
can fix this buggy if you want job to
keep you busy The shopkeeper looked
it over and said: "The spokes will be
so cents each, and the dashboard ST.
making 81 for necessary repairs" "But,"
said the scribe, 81 don't care to pay any
thing for it; thought you might want
a job just to fill up your time-just an
item, you know" But the shopkeeper
was indignant, and said, with curve of
his spine: "Do you think l am fool
to work for nothing? Do you think 1
can buy iron and wood and coal, and
rent shop and keep tools and work for
nothing?' "Oh, excuse me-" said the
publisher. "but l own a printing office,
type and furniture, which cost thou
sands Of dollars. l have to buy paper.
ink, ETC., and pay cash for hired help,
fuel and all necessaries. have a circu-
latiOn of over two thousand copies.
which cost me many dollars each issue,
and yesterday you had the mule cheek
and audacity to ask that l tell those two
thousand families that you were in busi-
ness ready to receive their custom, for
nothing"

Joseph Schenck and Anton Liepowski,
living near Tappan, Dakota, had quarrel
about money matters. On Sunday night
Schenck was shot twice and fatally by an
unknown hand while sitting in the window
Of his house. Liepowski was charged by
the coronor's jury with the deed and was
imprisoned. Next morning the jailer
left him apparently in good health to
bring his breakfast. When he came
back Liepowski was dead. An autopsy
revealed no sigh Of poison Or other cause
of death. The prisoner had protested his
innocence and was in terrible state of
grief over his accusation and imprison-
ment, and it is believed he died of brok-
en- heart.

Business men who handle large guam
titles of subsidiary silver coin are con-
siderably disturbed by the occasional
detection of counterfeit half dollars,
which it is judged must be in very ex-
tensive circulation. They call them
genuine counterfeit because when prop
erly coined they are identical in size,
weight, composition and general appear
ance with those from the government
mints It is only by means of an occa-
sional flaw in the coinage that one of
them is detected, and it is therefore i'm
possible to estimate the quantity Of them
in circulation. Counterfeiting of this
sort Is exceedingly profitable when done
on large scale, as detection is prac-
tically impossible, if ordinary precau-
ton is taken. 1t would not be at all
surprising if the crooks who recently
stopped to counterfeit pennies should
have made this branch of their work.
The bullion value cf one dollar in the sub
sidiary silver coins is only u cents, and
the % per cent margin of profit makes
quite an inducement to counterfeiters.
It is believed that most of the metal
used is from remelted trade dollars. BY
the purchase of these in large quantities
the counterfeiters obtain the metal al
ready mixed at the standard alloy. To
illustrate the profit in the operation, 100
trade dollars purchased for 1884, the pre-
sent market price, will yield 217 stand
ard half dollars, or a profit Of $A.50
less the small cost of recoinage The
secret service officers have no clue to
where the work is being done.
