Montana,s Legislature.

HELENA, M. T., Jan. 13.-The first
meeting of the fourteenth session of the
legislature was called to order yesterday
at IL N. In the house a permanent or
ganization was effected, with Col. James
E. Galloway, of Madison county, elected
as speaker. The council was temporarily
organized with DR.. A H. Mitchell, of
Deer Lodge county, as chairman. To-day
a permanent organization was effected in
the council by the election of K Arm
strong, from Gallatin county, as speaker.
The election was an interesting one as
the seventeenth ballot was taken before
any choice was made, and it was not I'M
til 4:30 p. m. that this was reached. In
the house notice was given hat a num-
Der of bills would be presented by ex-
Gov. Potts for an act to punish and pre-
vent prize fighting in Montana.

Mexican Mutineers.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 13.-The Chron-
icle's San Diego, Gala, special says: A
courier arrived to-day with a dispatch for
the Mexican consul stating that the Mex
lean soldiers stationed at Eeseuada, Mex
leo, eighty-ive miles south of here, mu-
tined Friday night last and murdered
their captain, his wife and several other
persons. They then fed in a body, tax
ing the arms and ammunition with Ethem.
The band numbers forty. A telegram
was sent to the captain Of the gunboat
Democrats" which had been lying at
this port, to come to their assistance, but
the vessel had sailed for San Francisco.
An application was then made to Captain
Bailey, of the Ssth infantry, to forward
such assistance as would prevent depre-
dations along the boundary line. The re-
quest was promptly granted. The Mexi-
can citizens are greatly alarmed, as the
mutineers are known to be a desperate
lot. A dispatch has just been received
that the mutineers have passed near Cam
pc, Mexico, and were making for the
United States territory.

LEAvENwoRTH. Kan, Jan. 13.-Fred
". Willard, of the Times, this city, and
nephew of James F. Legate, publishes a
card this morning in which he says that
at Mr.. Legate's request he wrote and mailed
%aletter to Chairman Elkins Of the Repub-
lican national committee. saying in sub
stance that St. John would leave the
field if it were made an object for him to
do so and that Mr.. Legate was the only
n who could manage him. Legate re-
ceived a reply but Willard did not know
its contents. Soon after, Willard, at Leg
ate's instance, SEN a telegram to St. John
in New York State the wording of which
he did not fully comprehend, but it was
sufficient to convince him that Legate
had telegraphed to St. John for ~instruc-
tons. Afterwards, when he had asked
Legate if he had heard from the dis
patch, the latter replied everything was
lovely

residence of Noble Gilbrith, together
with all his farm houses, located at the
base Of Sand mountain, were completely
demolished. His youngest child was in
stantlY killed by the flying timbers, its
body being terribly mangled. A young
man living with the family was seriously
and probably fatally wounded. The fam
lily had retired about an hour before. No
other member Of the family received any
injury. Every article of the household
goods was blown away, not leaving any
wearing apparel for the grief stricken
family. 1t is reported from good author
ity that an anvil in a blacksmith shop
near by was blown one hundred yards.
Great damage to other property in the
neighborhood is reported. Some three
miles further off two other buildings were
completely blown away. In one of them
there were thirteen occupants, all Of
whom received more or less injury, but
none are as vet reported fatal. Great
damage is reported to farm property gen
orally. Owing to the high waters it is
impossible to obtain accurate informa-
ton as to the true extent of the injury
done by the cyclone, but enough is ascer-
tanned to report that while it is fearfully
disastrous it is by no means such a terri
Bile scourge as the famous cyclone which
passed through Cherokee and CaIhorn
counties last spring.
During all yesterday and the part of
last night a tremendously heavy rain
fell, flooding all the streams and low
lands making it almost impossible to
travel or gain further information. A
fearful cloud which was accompanied by
wind was seen from this place and looked
hideous indeed. There was a continuous
roaring in the elements like distant thun-
der for some thirty minutes before the
wind passed. One family became
frightened before the tempest approached
and ran to a neighboring house a short
distance away which was blown away
while their own house from which they
fed remained standing. The track of
the cyclone was about 200 yards wide.

A Physician's Evidence.

People, as general thing, endorse a medicine according to the effect produced upon individuals, but remedy to be oi universal good, must cure in all similar instances hence, the evidence of physi- cian IS of paramount importance in sum- ming up the salutary and curative advan. tages of a remedy when largely used by the people. In this respect, Mans6elds Magic Arnica Liniment is supported by an astonishing array of evidence, and among others, Dr. T. Harbors, oi Magen- ta, Ark, says In almost every house md your preparations, especially the Magic Arnica Liniment.' lhave noticed its effects in cases of rheumatism and neuralgia, and it acts in truly a magical way, GIVING ALMOST INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF.

A Ringtaii Cow.
Iopie P. Read, in New York Mercury.l

No man in this country is more truth ful than John Hilfern. He would rathe tell a truth than te tell lie. This pecu liarity has given to his character an cd dity that causes vague mutterings in th, neightDrhood. No one ever saw TohI take drink of whisky. Yet when h, came to town last week he was SO drunl that be could not have slapped the fac, of the earth with horse blanket. wa. greatly shocked, for had confidence ir John. l was not willing that he should escape censure, so the next time we met l drew him to one side and said: John, we are all pained to know tha you have been drunk. During man, years you have been a shining example Now, eur confidence in you is shaken - we are hurt"
 Affectionately placing his broad hand on my shoulder, he replied:
 "l do not deny that was drunk. Il is an almost incredible story. Let us si, down and will tell you" When we had sat down, John con. tinued: "The other day as rode along toward town ] began to notice that there was something curious the matter with me. ] felt disposition to yell at every. thing l saw and, strange as it may seem l began to get hungry for fight of some sort. Well, by the time got to town was as drunk as fool. couldn't under stand it, for l had drunk nothing. When l returned home my perplexity was in- creased. for l found my wife and brother iu.law so drunk that they couldn't have walked round a straw haf
 You don't tell me so."
 "Yes, do. They swore that they hadn't drunk drop."
 "How do you account for itp"
 "Just wait minute. The next morn- ing we were all sober, but after breakfast we were all drunk again."
 "You don't say so p
 "Of course l do. If l didn't you wouldn't know anything about il. Well, we sobered up little, but, sir"-here his voice sank to a whisper" after dinner we were all so drunk that we wouldn't have known the president from deputy constable"
 " How do you account for it?"
 You just wait minute. The affair was SO strange that began to investi- gate. After awhile it was all as clear as daylight"
 "What was it that made you drunk ?'
 "Milk.n
 "MilkW exclaimed.
 "Yes, milk"
 How can you explain it9"
 "You just wait a minute. Several days before, l had bought ringtail COW, the most peculiar animal of her species, and l discovered that she had gone to dis tillery and had drank the slop."
 "Well, that is remarkably
 "Yes, rather. l soop found out that the ringtail COW is the only illicit distiller among the entire COW family. People came for miles to look at her."
 What did you do with her, kill herp ?"
 Bless you, no. A deputy United States marshal arrested her, but, upon ex- animation, the judge said that there was no statute to fit the case. took the COW home and sold her for three hundred dollars"
 So large a sum as that2"
 "Yes, temperance lecturer bought her. 1 saw him the other day and he told me that he wouldn't take thousand for her. Said that he never did see so much fun. We'll, must go."
 John is a poor man, but he is truthful. He would rather tell the truth than to break colt.
