Daring Exploit Of Coyybeys.

A traveller ON the Northern Paciicreports
the following thrilling incident: When the
train stopped at Medora, Montana, the
headquarters of the Marquis de Mores and
Theodore Roosevelt, some ten or dozen
cowboys, mounted on their typical horses
of the plains, were cutting all kinds ofcapers
and giving a sort of free show, for the edif-
cation and amusement of the.citizens and
passengers. They were putting the horses
through reckless eyolutions and maneuvers,
giving an exhibition of equestrianism that
astonished the tenderfeet on board the
train. The boys had just come in.from
roundup, and were flush with money and
considerably flushed with Dakota :tangle-
foot. The railroad bridge, which spans the
Little Missoury river at this point, is at
least 100 feet above the surface OF the
water. To enable footmen to ,cross a
narrow plank walk-not more than
two feet wide-is laid along on the ties.
from shore to shore, in the center .of the
bridge. 1t requires steady nerve for a man
to make the trip successfully, without losing
his balance and falling through between the
ties into the river far below, which, ofcourse
would mean certain death. Two OF the cow
boys-more reckless than their companions
rode their horses upon the track at a rapid
gait, and then, in single file, dashedon to the
bridge and made for the other side, fly
ing along on the narrow plank walk just as
ii they were racing across the prairie after
an obstreperous bovine
The spectators were thrilled with horror,
and expected to see the two daring men
dashed to death at every jump the horses
made. The riders yelled vociferously, and
rode with the same easy confidence they
always display when at home upon the
plains.

No event in the last 20 years has
created SO profound and widespread
an interest among New York shipping
merchants, steamboatmen and yachts
men as the performance q short time
ago Of the little steam yacht Stiletto
In beating the fast steamer Mary Pow
ell. The Stiletto is conceded to have
shown speed Of "a miles an hour in
her race with the Mary Powell, which
was up the Hudson river. Since that
event, wherever the little boat has APP
peared, she has been greeted with a
chorus of steam whistles, and has ex-
cited the most eager curiosity. It is
stated that if the principles of her con-
struction were applied to a large sea-
going steamer, the trip across the At
lantic could be made in three or four
days. Whether they CAN or will be so
applied appears to be undecided at
present.

Since the company has Strengthened
out the curves between New York and
Philadelphia, the speed of trains has
been increased. A reporter says that
rarely a day passes that some train
does not run between the two cities,
ninety miles, in 100 minutes, and very
little attention is paid to it, In fact,
the great mass of travellers are in con-
tented ignorance Of the high speed.
The quickest time on record going
west Was made on the night OF May 6,
when Nine. Fursch-Madi's special
train, which consisted Of engine 953,
in charge Of Driver F. B. Jones, one
coach and a parlor chr, the latter for
ballast, ran from Jersey City to Phil
adelphia in one hour and thirty-two
minutes, exclusive of fve-minute
stop at Trenton. This almost equals
the fastest recorded time coming east,
made by Engineer Osmund with 10.
comotive 724, which made the trip in
ninety-three minutes, including two
full stops and three slow downs.

While woman suffrage in this coun-
try has it's ups and downs, and per-
haps more downs than ups, in Eng
land the whole controversy is shortly
to be brought to a focus in the candi-
dacy of Helen Taylor, step-daughter
of the late John Stuart Mill, for aseat
in parliament. 1t appears that while
there is no recognition in law OF wom-
ans eligibility to this honor, there is
no law to prevent her winning it if she
can. The cable says that the lady is
likely to get the election. If so, the
commons may have a worse job on
it's hands than Bradlaugh.

best time for skimnlnS milk was just at the
time tho cream was beginning TO
turn sour. He offered several suggestions
regarding the churning and sailing OF but
ter. The salt used should be such as would
dissolve readily Care and neatness in
packing he argued, was an important point
to be observed. and the butter after pack
ing should be kept in a dark place under
sixty degrees in temperature. In reply to
a question, the speaker gave the opinion
that the feeding OF swill aad brewry refuse
to COWS would have a serious effect on the
quality Of the butter produced.
o. c. Gregg of Camden, Lyon county, was
then introduced, and also gave practical
talk upon the subject of dairying, covering
to some extent the ground which had been
gone over by the other speakers. He main
tanned the principal incidentally that indi-
vidual dairy butter made with the same
care as is given to the making of creamery
will excel the creamery in quality. He gave
some valuable hints in relation to the selec-
tion and keeping OF COVE.
There were beef COWS and mich COWS, he
said, and the more beef you had the less
milk you would get. The burden to Mime
sofa dairylng was that our COWS are not
good enough. The cold winters OF Mime
sofa were an advantage rather than a dis
advantage in the dairy business. Warm
days worried COWS and turned milk sour.
The methods of churning and mixing but
ter were graphically described. The speak
er did not believe in keeping butter for
months. The markets demanded .'fresh
butter" and the farmers were making but
ter for the markets.
Resolutions were adopted thanking the
citizens Of Moorhead for their hospitalities,
j. j. Hill for his gift OF a special train and
all who had in any way contributed to the
success or pleasure OF the OCCASION; also ex-
pressing hearty appreciation of Mr.. Hills
public and spirited efforts to improve the
cattle interests in the Red river valley.
The Dairymen were bounteously enter
tained by the people OF Moorhead, but it
would take too much space to detail the So
cial side OF the affair. They had lots OF
fun and enjoyed the meeting very much.

James Russell Lowell, late minister
to England, said in Boston the other
day. can English naval officer told
me only a short time ago that our
policy with regard to a navy was on
the whole the best. DO not create a
navy, said he, until you need it, and
then build your vessels with all the
latestmodernim improvements I don't
know but that he is right. OF course
it would take a little time and would
cause an enormous outlay OF money.
| don't think, however, that we shall
be.called upon to use navy against
England right away. The relations
between the two countries could not
be more pleasant or friendly, vet war
is not animpossiisility. Wehave Eng
Ish blood in our veins, and we have
gust as much English pride as those
across the water. Neither country
would consent to s,e bulldozed: but
that is not likely to occur. The policy
that has been maintained between the
two countries is, I think, the wisest
that could be pursued, and l am con.
fident that my successor will do lust
right Mr.. Phelps IS a man OF great
ability. Personally, he.is one OF the
pleasantest gentlemen / ever met. i
am sure the interests Of our country
will not suffer in his hands,

The European wheat crop is esti-
mated by Fry & Co., Of England, to
be 6O,OOO,OOO bushels short Of last
year. They say there "must soon be
a reaction in the worlds wheat mar
ket." Good wheat is the cheapest
production in sight to-day, because it
is necessity Of the world, is a short
crop, and is selling at cheaper rates
than it can be produced with profit to
the farmer.

Great interest is felt here about the con-
dition of Senator Sabin, says the Washing
ton correspondent OF the Cincinnati Times
Star. He made a good many personal
friends here during his two winters in the
senate. He has never essayed any orator.
lcal Efforts OF any consequence during his
term thus far, but has been as attentive to
duties as the embarrassed condition OF
his finances would permit. Personally,
Sabin is a very agreeable and companion
able gentleman. Coming here as a mil
ionaire and senator, he found time and
willingness to treat everybody, whatever
his station or duty, kindly, and in a way
that tmade personal friends forhim wherever
he was known.
A report has been received at the navy
department from Admiral Jouett, announ-
cling the failure by the parties interested to
settle the disputes in the United States of
Colombia. He says: The political differ
ences between the two parties are OF such a
nature that a peaceable settlement is quite
impossible at this time. Hostilities are
likely to continue indefinitely. Govern
ment troops are marching on Barrouquil-
leaders of the liberal party in Colombia.
The troubles on the isthmus result from
local politics and from, the fact that many
depraved characters congregate there. He
anticipates hard fighting in Colombia.
The receipts from internal revenue for
the fiscal year which will end this
month will not exceed $1l3,OOO,OOO,
which is $2,oOO,OOO short of the esti.
mates made by the treasury department
Had it not been for the postponement for
seven months of the collection OF taxes due
on spirits in bond, the receipts would have
reached nearly $11S,O0O, 900. For the
eleven months ending with May the total
receipts were over $8, 8,OOO,O short of the
amount received for the corresponding
eleven months of the preceding fiscal year,
hthe entire loss being in the receipts from dis
titled spirits. s.

The Weekly Report of Gen. Grants Cont,i.

DR.. shrady sent the Medical Record Of
the 25th the following official bulletin OF
Gen. Grants condition:
The progress of the disease from which
Gen. Grant is suffering, barring accidental
complications, is slow. Comparing the con-
dition OF the patient with what it was a
month ago, the changes which have taken
place can be appreciated. Taking this
period OF time into consideration, it
can be said that the swelling under
the angle of the lower jaw on the right side
has increased and become harder and more
deeply fixed. 1t has shown tendency to
progress in a direction downward and for
ward upon the right side OF the neck, and
the infiltration extending into the neighbor-
ing glandular structures. The pains in these
parts, although fortunately not frequent
nor severe, have a significance which can
not be ignored. The liberation OF the right
side Of the base Of the tongue has become
coarser and more Irregular although it's SUI
perficial area has not perceptibly increased
Ihlsis the seat Of pain occasionally in swal-
lowing, and when certain examinations of
the throat are made. The destructive pro-
cess on the right side Of the avula is appar-
entity qulescent, although a new portion of
the margin of the palatal curtain is showing
a tendency to break down. The voice has
been reduced to whisper, due partly
to the infiammatory involvement Of the
vocal cords and partly to the nervous
atony OF the latter. There is some improve
ment Of the general strength, the appetite is
unchanged, ,and the usual amount ofnourish-
ment is taken. The removal to Mt. Nc
Gregor has SO far proved beneficial. It has
enabled the patient to recover the lost
ground and thus, in q measure, has count
er-balanced the effects OF his local malady.
