Montana Wild Flowers.

ted variety. A short time ago the bluffs
were literally pink with this exquisite
flower. Growing at the same time, and in
the same place, is yellow flower, with u
cupshaped blossom about the size and color
of the buttercup. 1t grows from bulb, and
probably belongs 10 the lily family. Less
conspicuous than either of these, but not
less beautiful, is a very low-growing daisy.
like plant, with lovely, large, white starry
blossoms. Another flower, blooming very
close to the ground, has blossom similar to
the caraway, and there Is yet another which
grows almost everywhere, and has very
lovely, but very frail, white blossom. Be
fore these early varieties are gone, Others
even more beautiful make their appearance.
Several of these appear to belong to the lu'
pine family. One has closely crowded spikes
of beautiful yellow blossoms, resembling the
laburnum, while another, which is pure
white, grows in wonderful luxuriance on the
bluffs, and is almost exactly like the blossom
of the locust tree. A very lovely blue
flower, growing in spikes, with their succu
lent leaves and stems, is more plentiful or
the banks of the river than elsewhere, and q
cream colored variety grows on the bluffs
In June bright rose-colored flower, resem
bling portulacca, makes the prairie gay with
its lovely blossoms. This is succeeded will
the gorgeous bloom of the cactus and wild
tulip. Only brief mention can be made o.
the wild roses, white evening primrose, vel
low rocket, purple and royal-blue larkspur
yucca, prairie apple, sunfower, and an al
most endless variety of equally brillian
blossoms.

This list is far from complete, many yer,

appear at distance, q nearer inspection

sHERIFF,S ASSOCIATION.
AN Organization That VIII be of Great
Benefit.

'On the 9th inst Ave of the County Sheriffs
eof Montana met In Convention at Helena,
held meimi nary meeting and adjourned to
meet at the same place Saturday, August J.
when the organization will be effected per-
Imancntly.
Sheriff King, of Yellowstone, was Chair
man, and Undertsheriff Hathaway, of Lewis
and Clarke, Secretary. The object OF the
Association lis to adopt general system OF
,co.operation among the Sheriff's officers OF
Montana for The better detection and super
vision Of the lawless clement. At present
each Sheriff works ON aiis own hook, and
there Is no unity Of action. IL Is proposed TO
organize body Of the Sheriffs and the Un-
der SherIffs Of the Territory, the organiza-
ton being continued AZ new officers come In,
and ex-Sherifis, If they so desire, still con-
tinuiug members A complete description,
with the history, haunts, habits and racket
of each rough rounder or other "bad man,
that comes into the custody Of any Sheriff,
will be sent TO the Secretary Of the Associa-
aion, printed and by him sent to every
Stehd In the Territory for preservation and
reference. Each culprit will have his mum
Der. by which he will be known, aud can Do
40 designated and described In telegraphinp
or correspoudence. This will make up
Rogue's Record, supplemented, when posi-
BILE, with photographs, and each sherih''
Office will have a copy. There are man!
other advantages that may be derived from
the organization, but this alone viii be o
immense advantage TO the peace officers II

The Pioneer Press Matter.

Mr.. c. Is. Haynes, the Montana represen-
,ative of the Pioneer Press Company, writes
us in relation to the article in the Townsend
Tranchdnt and our comments thereon, claim
ing the Pioneer. Press IL not culpable as
would appear, and saying, 81 think II you
"knew the true circumstances you would not
$50 Judge the =. p. Co" Mr.. Haynes adds
that he never took or solicited an order for
lob work In Townsend, and does not believe
the firm ever did any job work there, but has
done work for Meagher county, at White
Sulphur Springs, in the shape Of books, etc.
Mr.. II. further states he never did any job
printing in Silver Bow county.
We are quite willing to hear the Pioneer
Press Company's side of the matter, ana trust
It will be able to explain the matters al
legged against it satisfactorily. Its business
here in selling through n representative by
samples TO printing establishments is legiti-
mate If It pays its license, and no fault can
be found with that. Neither is there any
thing to prevent IT., IL 1t would resort to such
a course, from soliciting from and doing
work for ind viduals. But publishers Will
not cut their own throats by buying job lots
of stock from n firm that retais TO patrons
where that stock would in the natural course
of business be used. This is the point the
publishers of Montana make, and 1t Is cor
rect business policy. AS between the Pto-
neer- Press Company, which has represen-
tative here, paying licenses and contributing
that much to Montana, and the Cheap John
establishments at Salem and elsewhere that
send out samples and do not even pay IL
,cense, we would prefer seeing patronage 60
the Pioneer. Press; but patronage of the
CHEAP John Eastern firms is a matter be-
tween them and the Montana business man
who sees proper to send his orders out OF the
couatry, Montana publishers having no bus
iness relations etfeeting them.
SO far AZ county printing is concerned, 1t
is provided i'm the Printing Law that the
publisher having the contract "shall do all
the printing, Of every description, for which
said county mag be chargeable." Even
where there was no question raised about
this law there was much evasion OF 1t oy
county officials, and Is yet, in counties where
the contract has been formally ratified by the
County Commissioners, but 1t Is not right.
The work should all be done through the
csntractor and even If not, one of the three
Blank and Book establishments of the Ter
ritory should be given the preference If they
will do the work at reasonable prices, PRINT
ing law or no printing law. There is good
deal connected with this question that Is
worthy the consideration of officials and
business men, and we are satisfied when the
subject is considered patrons will see 1t ID
better for them to give their work to Mon
tana publishers.
So far as the Pioneer Press Company is con
cerned, we would be glad TO have 1t present
the matter referred to before the Press Asso
citation at its August meeting in Butte SO
that It's attitude may be understood.

The Shado,os of Great City, as played by
the Baldwin Theatre Co., is an excellent
melo-drama remarkably we'll presented. In
terest awakens with the very first of the first
scene and increases in intensity until the
close. The plot is good, there is artistic
work in the use of sunshine and shadow, the
dramatic situations and effects show a skilled
hand in their arrangement, and it is withal
clean. The Company fully justified the best
that had been said of them by the press
Mr.. Lewis Morrison has pleasing presence,
thorough art. fine voice exquisitely modu :.
lated, and as Tom Cooper was especially
strong in the most difficult scene-when he
betrays his passion for Helen Standish--a
scene that he gave a strong touch Of pathos
and in which he enlisted the sympathy of
his audience through all the irrepressible
mirth occasioned by Biddy Roman, when the
least awkwardness of portrayal would have
destroyed it. Somehow the scene suggested
to us Little Emily" and "Ham Peggoty" in
the cid boat house, but there was no Steer
forth in this case. Miss Adams played ad-
mirably the dual roles Of Helen Standish.
Mr.. Osbournes Abe Ndthdns was fine con-
ception we'll sustained throughout, while
Mr.. Stockwelps Jim Farren, the sneak thief,
was so realistic that Sheriff McMaster star
ted up two or three times to pull him in.
Altogether it was q splendid performance
1t looks as though Manager Mcguire had
rooted out the snide companies and is giving
us the best entertainments there are on the
road. He deserves success.

HIGH COMMENTATOR.


The following by the veterinary editor Of
the SPIRIT of the Times of July 18th, the high
est veterinary authority in the United States,
is a very high recommendation indeed:
To all interested in the welfare Of lire stock in
Montana:
From advices received through our cores
pondents in Montana, we are pleased to hear
of the arrival Of our friend, DIR. Holloway,
v. s., Of this city, who has taken up his
abode at Deer Lodge. We have reason to
believe the field of usefulness Is both ample
and remunerative. We cordially recon-
mend the Doctor 70 all who may require his
professional services, believing that benefit
will accrue therefrom to all interested in the
welfare of live stock. The Doctor Is sum-
GENTLY we'll known here TO require no rec
concentration from Us. HIS stanalng IN tne
profession and membership in the county
and State veterinary medical societies arc
sufficient guarantees Of professional and so.

the profession being eligible Tor member

word or two in his favor to our many pat

either through the medium OF eur columns
disseminating scientific truths apphcaoie 10

among live stock, or directly through the In
strumentality of q qualified practitioner such

cultivate friendship which we hope will
prove to your mutual satisfaction.
We take pleasure in adding to the above
that DR.. Fl has given entire and complete

instances we can mention-Dr. Mnssigbrod

Mr. John Robinson-may success reward
his enterprise-has taken the field for his
fifty-ninth annual summer campaign, with
an exhibition that, in the real art Of the
arena, fairly distances all its competitors.
He is particularly strong in acrobatic talent.
His rapeze performers are unrivaled, and
his riders, both male and female, are in the
front rank Of their profession, while his ed
ucated elephant, "School," stands alone. A
crowded house greeted their first perform
ance yesterday. Before the band struck up
there was q solid emtankment Of humanity
all around the circle, and as act after act
came on and went of, the stream of specta-
tors still flowed ceaselessly inward. The
vicinity was all astir with the excitement Of
the show, and inside the audience manifested
the heartiest approval Of what the manage
ment had done for them. The entire show
is filled to repletion with the most wonder
full, novel and startling feats and marvellous
| exhibitions of athletic, acrobatic, equestrian
and gymnastic performances ever seen in
circus and menagerie; and acknowledged by
one and all to be the grandest of all the big
shows ever witnessed in our city. The pa
rade in the morning was pageant OF Orien-
tai splendor and barbaric pomp. The long
retinue, as it filed through the principal
streets of the city with the gorgeous trap
pings, brilliant in scarlet and gold, with five
full military brass bands discoursing all the
popular airs of the day, made up spectacle
that crowded and packed every street with
eager sight-seers, who cheered and applauded
each new feature as it came into view, with
heartiness and enthusiasm never before
witnessed in the Queen City. We cordially
bespeat a warm welcome for John Robinson
and his Ten Big New Shows this season, for
he has actually "out- Heroded Herod" with
his mammoth animation this year.-Ctn-
cinnati Enquirer.

The Public School House.

The bonds voted for the completion OF the
Deer Lodge Public School House have not
vet been sold-not even the $4,000 to take
up existing Indebtedness. 1t seems to us an
active effort should be made to sell thes e
bonds and complete the building, as its COM
pletIen was emphatically indicated to be the
wish of the property taxpayers by their vote
on the issue of the bonds. At least an imme'
date active effort should be made to sell
sufficient to liquidate the outstanding debts,
as otherwise there is liable to be disaster to
our public school interests through litigation
effecting the moneys derived by taxation fol
instruction.
Another matter calling fer immediate at
teption Is the condition OF the tin roof which
was put on last fall. 1t is rusting very badly
and unless painted will be ruined. Last fall
a number of citizens subscribed 81 400 fol
tin-roofng the building, etc. 1t was contem
plated also to have the roof painted, the
building insured, and to construct cisterr
for fire purposes. Neither of these latter
things have been done, the majority of the
Board of Trustees going out before the pro
jects were consummated. There is nearly
$3.50 of the 81 400 subscribed yet available
and we think there can be no question tha
such portion of it as is necessary should be a
once diverted to painting the roof and GOV
ering in the cupola. The roof IS being in
jured by delay.

A SHOCKING DEATH.
K. ID. Reynolds Falls 500 Feet Down the
Alice Shaft and Is Killed.

The Miner gives the particulars of the hor-
rible death of Mr.. Z. d. Reynolds, the well
known mining machinery dealer, on Tues
day, by falling 800 feet down the Alice shaft
at VAUDEVILLE. He had inspected the mine
in company with Mr.. Mehennet, the pump
man, who then went to his work, while Mr..
Reynolds went to the Moulton. 1t appears
that soon after he returned, and without any
companion or guide, lifted the trap door and
went down into the shaft alone some eight
feet. Circumstances indicate that he then
sat down on the centerpiece and was about
to take q measurement with his rule when
the bob came up, and, catching him under
the legs, threw him over into the shaft. his
body stru ok on the bonnet of the cage, 200
feet below, horribly mangled and crushed
the entire head being crushed off down to
the lower jaw. The Coroner's jury entirely
exoRerated the Alice Company aud all EN-
ployees, the fatality being due entirely to
himself Mr.. Reynolds was most worthy
gentleman and very highly esteemed. He
had many friends throughout Montana who
learn with deep regret of his sad fate. He
has a mother and sister living in Massachu
sets.
