SUDDEN DEATH.
A Montana Character Dies at the Sill.
yer Bow Station.

At Silver Bow station yesterday morning
there was a sudden, and to some extent,
mysterious death. which occurred on the
platform. The victim was a man well
known in Montana, named Patrick Nc.
Evoy, who is said to have borne rather a
hard character. He was found on the
platform at an early hour suffering intensely
and although every effort was made to
save him, he died about Z O'Clock. The
coroner. DR.. Whitford, was at once notified
and responded. A jury a at once sum
moned and from the testimony taken it
vas ascertained that McEvoy had been in
Silver Bow but a few days; hat he
had been drinking very hard dnring all the
time; that on Wednesday night about mid
night he walked into the depot office and
asked for a drink OF water, and de-
claring that he had been poisoned and was
burning up. The water was given him and
he drank it, but Immediately after again
complained that he had been poisoned and
that he wanted more water. At the sug-
~gestion of a Dillon physician the sick man
was given oil, but without avail, and the
man died al Z O'Clock as above stated.
The casual examination OF the man showed
that his throat and tongue had been burned
by some powerful drug. 1t was stated,
but not positively, that the man had
aSkeu SOLne OHe IOi d uiluh VI Il4uoI,
and that he had been given some oncen-
trated lye, which if true was the cause Of
his death. The inquest was adjourned
until this morning, when an autopsy will
be held by Drs. Whitfcrd, Labrie and
Carroll and the stomach examined Two
important witnesses who were lot present
yesterday will be produced to-day and
compelled to testify. Fromth statements
thus far made it is reasonably certain
that in an attempt to play a practical joke
some parties have committed murder.
The inquest to-day will, it is expected and
hoped, develop the true inwardness OF the
affair.

Some Practical and Useful Suggestions

Editor MINER

Editor MINER
If you will as cheerfully give space in your
valuable paper to the following receipt for
children suffering from cholera infantum as
l give it to the many soul tortured and
heart-broken mothers that know lot what
to do, you will receive many thanks. l
have known this remedy to heal and cure a
number OF children when they mac been
given up by the physician. Generally the
stomach is very tender n sore, the least
bit of food irritates and makes worse.
Nothing can be kept on the stomach, moth
ing digests. This condition often comes
from giving lime water too strong. The
worst case l ever seen, and the attending
physicians, three in number, said they
never had a case where the patient was SO
terribly emaciated, was my own child
there was not a partical OF flesh on him.
He looked like a skeleton covered with
brown wrapping paper-his joints being
purple, on account Of a poor circulatieH:
the physicians gave him up, and for
three weeks he knew nothing, or
appeared that way. First l gave him Cod
Liver Oil and wine three different times
when everyone thought he was dying. l
held him in a large pan of hot water fully
fifteen minutes, wrapping him Immediately
in hot flannel. When he had sufficiently
recovered to want to eat l let him have
nice, fat smoked bacon. Then l took
graham four-say a pint-put it into
three quarts OF water and boiled it four or
five hours over a slow fire; set it off. let it
settle and then strained the liquid off. l
then took the liquid and added a pinch OF
sugar, a mite OF salt and nutmeg, and
boiled the mixture q minute and then let
it cool, and l had one OF the finest baby
foods that can be made. 1t heals the bow
els; they do not vomit it up; it neither
curdles nor sours in the stomach; is nou
ishing and fascinating. My child was a
and it was lime water given SO strong that
came near causing his death. He was two
years old before l ever gave him anything
except the above and a very little milk.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Much Speculation Over Its FL
nanCial Affairs.
Es
Representative Mills Preparing q New
Measure Which Will Re-
duce Taxation.

NEW York, September 1O.-Dispatches
from Boston were received here to-day
stating that there is evidently an iron-clad
agreement between Kidder, Peabody &C.,.
Lee. Higginson & Co. and President Adams
of the Union Pacific to keep secret the de-
tails of the arrangement by which the float
ing debt OF the company has been provided
for. President Adams was reported as de-
clining emphatically to talk upon the SUBJ
ject except to say that the $50, OOO, 900 Of
the floating debt, which has been troubling
the company has been provided for on ex-
cellent terms, too. for the corporation. Out
side information ia to the effect that the
company has sold outright a certain
amount of bonds for cash. In addition it
has placed another large block of it's securi-
ties in the hands of banking houses and
has obtained a loan on them. On the lat
ter transaction the lenders nave an opt
ion to buy the securities outright within u
certain time, while the company has the
right to take up the securities on certain
conditions With 1 a certain time. What
securities were pledged and what sold isnot
known, although the sales were probably
on the Short Line and the Kansas Pacific
Consols, while those pledged were st. Joe
& Western and more or less valuable Sc
curities of other roads, of which the Union
Pacific has a large supply.

TIMBER
An Important Decision Regarding Rail-
road Rights.

WASHINGTON. September "a circular
has been issued by the Land Office modi-
flying a former circular, issued by that bu-
reau prescribing the rights of railroad com.
panies in cutting the timber from the pub
lie lands. The circular states that the tim
Der can be cut only during the time of the
construction OF the railroad. and immedi-
ately adjacent to the line OF the road un
der construction. No more timber must
be cut h is actually required for the con-
structiOn OF the road bed, bridges, culverts.
ETC., and such timber cannot be cut
for fuel, station-houses. sheds and
other structures. The trees cut must not
be less than eight inches in diameter, and
none but authorized agents of the railroad
company will be allowed to cut the timber.
Railroad companies are not authorized to
sell the timber so cut to other companies
or individuals. The companies are pro-
hibiteG from cutting timber on public
mineral lands. Indian reservations or
public parks. The right of the company
to cut the timber expires at the expira-
ton OF five years after the definite
location OF the section. This circular
materially modifies the old circular in lin
iting the territory within which timber can
be cut to the immediate vicinity OF the line
under construction, al it has been the prac-
tiCe to cut timber anywhere within the ter
minal limits of the road. Another import
ant modification is the limitation Of the
time within which the companies may cut
timber.

THE UNION PACIFIC DEBTS,
How the Company Has Borrowed
Money to Meet Them.

BosTON, September o. The important
negotiations which for some time past
have been quietly carried on between Presi-
dent Adams, OF the Union Pacific railroad
company. and representatives of certain
leading Boston banking houses were con-
cluded to-day. Under the agreement
reached the firms in question are to take q
large amount OF bonds of the railroad
company at various issues, paying cash
therefore. The provision is also made for
the taking up of $6,OOO,OOO OF the out
standing floating securities of the company
as they mature between now and the close
of the year. None OF the money thus fur
nished the company is for less than
three years. 1t is understood
that q portion of it, if the company so
elect. can be paid off at an earlier period.
The average rate OF interest will be some
thing less than S per cent. The company
agrees for a certain length OF time to place
no more of it's securities Of the issue speci-
fled on the market, except at the request of
the firms in question. This arrangement
provides for all the outstanding notes OF
the balance Of the floating debt represent
ing the pay rolls, now accrued coupons and
accounts with other railroad companies.
The whole transaction amounted to a sale
OF bonds and aloan on collateral. Exactly
what the agreement is cannot be learned.
Neither are the securities sold and pledged
known, though it Is presumed they are
st. Joseph & Western bonds of which the
company owns about $1,000, 900.
