We are in receipt Of a letter from Dan
Friedman, who isnow at Cold Spring
Minn. He don't enlarge much on the:
use Of side-saddles but mentions that he
is having a first-rate time. He is part
ner Of Lloyd Roberts in buying cattle
and states that cattle there are at the
lowest notch, nine to ten dollars for
yearlings and fourteen to sixteen for two
year-olds. Il, Isss 4
Beef isselling now from Helena to St.
Paul at 10% cents by the side and ex-
ceedingly hard to get, even at those
figures. Why do not some Of our enter
prising stock men cut. out a herd Of; their
heavy beef cattle in the fall, and hold
them for these high winter markets? !?
Good hay can be secured during the
summer and the cattle can be held on a
pasture, reserved for5thas purpose, when
the grass gives out. the. enttle can be.
made to keep their flesh on hay, at least
until the first of March. The hay Of this
country cut in season and properly cured
is nearly as fattening as grain. Who

animals to show. AS it is, they point

made in proportion to their numbers. In
1888, Black Prince Worthily upheld, al
most unassisted, the honor of the breed.

Mr.. 0. H. Holt Of Bismarck, private
secretary to Gov. Pierce, has published
a pamphlet on Dakota, which is full of
valuable information to any one desiring
to learn our resources. One of the ex-
tracts written by the editor of the Cow
Boy in his tenlerfoot days contains the
information that cattle paw away the
snow to get at the grass in winter. A
settled conviction has come over our
minds that this should be taken with a
grain Of allowance, perhaps two grains
wouldn't do any harm. In all other re-
Ispects the pamphlet is a model Of compact

that last Saturday, when the weather

there was a raise of three or four fees+ Of

about twenty-five miles. up the river.
The flood is travelling at tho rate OF

may seem strange that although there is
a pitch Of over two thousand feet to the

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE President
has not as yet considered the charges
made against Marshal Bryant and his
deputies by Collector Crenshaw and his
deputies. If, as 10 alleged, Marshal Bry-
ant and his deputies are not actively sup
porting Collector Crenshaw and his depu-
ties in the execution of the law, Marshal
Bryant will be promptly removed,
The star route service between Marietta
and Alpharetta, Ga, has been discon-

The removal of II. B. James, Chief Of
the Customs Division of the Treasury
Department to-day, was an admirable
thing. An excellent man will be appointed
in his place, and one who the department
and everybody else can trust absolutely.

GARFIELD's LITTLE OLD CHURCH.
ThemOdest little one-stOry frame church
where President Garfield used to worship
was sold few weeks ago to a lumber
dealer of this city and was to-day taken
to pieces for the sake of the material that
was in it. The price paid was
offered $500 for the building. but the
city authorities refused to allow it to be
moved, alleging that repeated removals
had weakened the structure so much as
to make its occupancy dangerous. The
church was an Oid-fashioned and modest
little structure, whose counterpart could
only be found in the backwoOds settle
ments of the older Southern or Eastern
States. The society was very poor and
the membership very small. Sometimes
they would be without a pastor for seve-
raj weeks. On such occasions President
Garfield, who was regular communicant,
would occupy the pulpit. After his election
to the Presidency the little church re-
ceived a ''boom." Within year a suhi-
Client sum had been subscribed TO build a
$4,000 ediioe, upon the dedication of
which the original church was relegated
to the background.

Yesterday afternoon Nj. Mcdonald, an
operative in the East Macon factory,
while walking in the wa nea Walnut
creek bridge, about two miles rom the
court house, came upon the dead body of
man stretched out beneath pine tree.
Returning to East Macon, he secured the
services of Magistrate Amos Subers, and
with crowd OF curious persons returned
to the scene of the find. The body was
identified as that of Wright Barlow, for
merly factory operative, and about 40
years old. A Coroner's jury was impanel
ed, with Amos Subers as Acting Coroner,
and an inquest was held. One of the wit
nesses, DIR. McCrary, testified that from
appearances ana from past experience
he believed that Barlow had committed
suicide by taking some poisonous drug.
About two weeks ago he was called TO at
tend him when he had
taken an overdose of laudanum,
and it was with difficulty that he saved
his life. Barlow was last seen by his
wife and children on Thursday of last
week, and the appearance of the body in
dicated that he had been dead about two
days. 1t was badly decomposed and the
nose and lips had been eaten off by some
animal. The following was the verdict OF
the COrOner's jury:
We, the jury find that Wright Barlow came
to his death from some unknown cause.

EXTENT OF THE SERVICE.


NEW YORK. May 11.-During the early
part OF last night Gen. Grant experienced
considerable pain in his throat, and he
was restless. Soon after midnight he
slept, but his sleep was not continuous.
He awakened at Intervals, and food was
given him through the night. IL was 10
O'Clock this morning before he aroused
for the day and was dressed. He had
slept about the usual number Of hours,
though the sleep tad been interrupted as
stated DIR. Douglas remained all night,
and left the General asleep at O'clock.
During the forenoon Gen. Grant. turned
his attention 10 his book, and did some
work upon IL.
The general warmth OF to-day tempted
Gen. Grant 10 take prolonged drive, and
he arrived at his house in good spirits
after II. After luncheon he resumed work
on his book until dinner. after which he
spent the evening IN social conversation
with the members Of his family. In the
words OF Col. Grant, who Is too busy 10
receive callers, "Father Is feeling quite
well to-day. The pain in bis throat was
q little increased to-day, perhaps owing
10 the change OF the air.

Sir Northcote's amendment moves on
the second reading of the consolidated
fund bin fresh vote of censure against
the government, and concludes in the fol-
lowing words: ''The House having shown
their readiness to vote supplies refuse
their assent until informed Of the present
policy and purposes for which the money
to be granted is to be applied"
BITTERNESS OF THE ATTACK.
Lord Hamilton, in moving considera-
tion of this amendment, said: ''The
Right Honorable the Marquis of Harting-
ton, Secretary of State for War. has lust
made the most extraordinary statement
which ever fell from a Minister in this
House. After announcing their intention
or taking hhartoum the government have
announced tonight the abandoning of
Soudan, after having murdered 5000 or
l0,OOO men. Yet the government
expect this House to acquiesce
silently in their policy. The greatest
danger to the country is the
lncapacity of the men in office. TConser-
vatlye cheers. The government have
surrendered every one of the questions
between them and Russia. The Prime
Minister has altogether abandoned the at
titude by which the government obtained
the vote of credit. The great objection l
nave to the Premiers policy is that from
the. very day he assumed office until now
he has shown readiness to sacrifice any
body and anything to save himself" Cries
of "Hear! Hearw]
THE GOVERNMENTS REPLY.
Mr.. Chamberlain, President of the
Board of Trade, taunted Lord Hamilton
with inconsistency in asking for informa-
tion from the government that could not
be relied upon. Mr.. Chamberlain said
that the House would be unable ade-
quatelv to judge the conduct of the gov
ernment until all the papers in the case
were presented to it. He contended that
the object of Sir Peter Lumsden's mission
had to a great extent been achieved.
He was glad to find Lord Hamil-
ton advocating the position that
faith should not be placed in Russia, and
that the only course was to 90 to war.
When the general elections came the gov
ernment would remind the opposition of
their policy, and it would then be seen
whether or not the country was tired of
peace.
CENsURE DEFEATED.
Lord Hamilton's motion to adopt Sir
NOrthcOte's resolution of censure was de-
ieated by a vote of 230 to 260 The ma
jOrity consisted entirely Of Liberals. The
Parnell1tes voted with the Ministry. The
House received the result rather list
lessly.
In the course Of the debate on Lord
HamiltOn's motion Henry Chaplin, Con-
servative, charged that the expenditure
of so much blood and treasure and ruin
as had been caused in the Soudan were
due to efforts to save the seats of an lmbe-
cile Ministry.
Lord Randolph ChurrhW. Conservative,
admitted that the meaning u! ne amend
ment was To enable ihe Ministers TO quit
their seats with grace and dignity. The
tories, he said, had shown that they We're
not war party, hut that those who had
obtained vote of ELL 100000 were.

no law against such trick, but it is not
a fair representation of the people. 1t is
not true expression of the opinion OF the

Atchison, colored, was found riddled with
buekshOt. by whom the murder was

OF white men, who secured the country
for him, but failed 10 find him.
ScipiO was terribly enragod at
the men for pursuing his son and
several times threatened 10 kill them. On
riday last be went TO the houses OF some
white people In the woods where men
were getting saw logs and said: "lhs is
your day but tomorrow IL mine. / will
get your scalp" He also advised white
families 70 leave there at once. These
threats are believed 10 have caused his
death at the hands OF some Of the white
men Of the neighborhood. The son is a
desperate man and has bOasted OF having
assaulted four other white women. III
caught be will be lynched.
