While east, recently, a Times reporter
met r. Bowen, of Broadhead, Wisconsin,
one of the owners Of the Penobscot, and
elsewhere interested in the Hills. He
is a man of large wealth, and was look
ing for promising investments. Ac-
customed to the luxuries of travel, he
never could be induced to visit the Hills.
He undertook the trip several years ago,
but when ten miles out from Pierre, he
weakened and returned. He will be-
n of the first Of a very large number
to visit this locality upon the compile
ton of a railroad. He assured the
writer that 10 portion Of the west stands
better in the estimation Of the public
than the Hills, and yet little only is
known Of the variety and enexhaustible
character of our resources. He was
greatly interested in the description Of
the country, its development and pros
poets as presented by his friend from
the Hills, and declared that the severity
Of the stage trip as he understood 1t to
be, alone prevented him from visiting
us at once.-Times, 10th.

demic May be Soon Stayed.
MONTREAL, CAN, August 29.-The
citizens yesterday were In far better
spirits here than for some time past
on the news gaining currency that
there was great reduction In the mum.
ber of deaths from smallpox Thursday
as compared with the previous day.
The total number reported was only
three against nineteen for the preced-
ing twenty four hours. The falling of
was as marked In the total Of new cases,
there being only five as com.
pared with seventy-nve the pre-
vious day. II this change
continues, there Is little doubt felt BY
medical men that the progress of the
scourge will soon be permanently stayed.
There will be no relaxation In the efforts
OF the health authorities and on the part
of the citizens to eradicate 1t altogether
from the city. The opening OF all the
pubic schools in the city has been post
poned for fifteen days, and the cheap
tneaters will be kept closed until the cpl
deInic is arrested permanently. The dis.
ease Is very bad in st. Jean
Baptiste village, the filth Of
the place and neglect Of pre-
cautions by the inhabitants rem
dering all efforts futile to stop its
progress. The municipal authorities are
now alive to the crisis, and have appoint
ed an energetic health Inspector, who is
actively engaged In using disinfectants
In the houses and all other proper means
to stay the disease. The health officer
reports the deaths since Saturday at
twenty, and the number III at hfty.four
Several denials came yesterday from the
Mayors of villages outside where 1t was
reported the disease had appeared.

MEXICO Considering the Removal OF Some
of the Excessive Import Duties and the
Collection Of More Taxes on Real T. tate.
Ell rAso, TEX, August 2s.-Senor
Riorson, the newly appointed Governor
OF Lower California, was interviewed
here yesterday on Mexican affairs. Gov
ernor Riorson says that American busi.
ness men aud manufacturers look for
decided reduction OF the exorbitant du.
ties that now prevail In Mexico and OBJ
struct her commerce. President
Diaz informed him that ne IA
vored and would urge taxing
real estate heavily TO enable TINS
reduction of duties on imports, and would
bring his personal influence to bear upon
the Congress about to assemble to bring
about this change. Real estate IN Mex.
leo is taxed very lightly, while import
duties are relatively more burdensome 10
Mexico than In any other country IN the
world. The Governor believes this re-
duction will be brought about this year.
Pierson Is native Of Texas, and enjoys
the confidence Of Diaz TO very high de-
gree.
