Mr.. ]. II. Mcknight, off. II. Mcknight
& Co, Fort Shaw, spent several days in
town the past week. Mr.. Mcknight says
Great Falls has improved wonderfully
since his last visit, and will now compare
fayorabiy with other towns in this section
Of the Territory. We wish Mr.. Mcknight
could be induced to locate here.
a man was bucked off a cayuse in Sun
River n day last week and sustained in
iuries from which he died the following
day. Deceased was from Oregon, and
was engaged in driving a band of horses

had no friends that were known of. we
understand his name was Pierce.
There is no question but that the COM
m~issioners will take favorable action re-
garding the establishment of the road
from Great Falls to Bullshead. IL the
public is to be deprived Of a thorough
fare to the capital of the county, just to
please the caprice of a few uninterested
parties, 1T Is high time tor another election.
The test made of the iron ore found in
such abundance in the Sand Coulee has
proved highly satisfactory, and those
who are in a position to know, say that
taken in connection with the vast body of
coal, its worth can hardly be estimated.
It seems quite probable at this writing
that the parties interested, will make a
move looking toward its development still
this season.
Paris Gibson and County Commissioner
Wetzel arrived from Benton Monday.
They came over the new road from Bulls
Heal to this place. Mr.. Wetzel says the

the road and report

The Chandler syndicate have a number
Of miners sinking q coal shaft on their
land just below the Great Falls. The
shaft is now down thirty OF forty feet,
and will be sunk to the depth Of the river
bed, where they expect to unearth a bed
Of hard coal. Their expectations of discoy-
ering hard coal is based upon theory and
the general formation OF the contiguous
country. There is q known vein Of coal
which crops out at that point, which has
been prospacted to some extent, but this
is not the vein which the parties now
prospecting, are looking for. They say
that if they succeed in having their pres
ent expectations realized, that the syndi-
cate have a railroad scheme under con
sideration, which will be inaugurated
without delay.

The Fourth passed off quietly. Al
though no celebration was contemplated,
owing to circumstances, there were never
theless quite an influx Of people in town
from The surrounding country. Some
patriotic denizens made the early morn
resound with frequent explosions of pow
der in an anvil, which was made to do
service in lieu Of q annou Some little
attempt at decoration was made. In the
afternoon z free for-all horse race, fer a
purse of SEQ, created some little stir.
There were five horses entered. w. z.

closed with a ball, which was well attend

The location Of Great Falls, together
with its surrounding resources, places 1t
in a position that it can avail. the coming
OF renewed prosperity, without being ma
t~arially affected. To be sure, We are anx

We can all rest assured chat 1t has a future

perhaps a year.

Gen. Grant Dead.

Mt. MCGBEGoR, N. Y, July 23-S
a.m.-Gen. Grant is dead. He has
inst breathed his last quietly and with
out struggle. The family and at
tending physicians were at his bedside.
He was conscious nearly to the last, a
short time before he died recognizing
his family by his eyes. Death resulted
from exhaustion.
Although anticipated for weeks and
months the contents of the above tele-
gram affect the nation as it has been
affected only by the death of Lincoln
and Garfield, and to-day, throughout
The world, men of every nation mourn
that the great warrior-statesman has
reached the great beyond that the
magnanimous defender of right and
truth has gone to meet his just re.
ward. The mighty warrior is van
quished, but defeated only that his
future may be ten-fold more brilliant
than when he excited universal admir-
alton in his brightest days. Yet in
death is he still victorious, in that the
whole world mourns, although COM
forted by the knowledge that his mis-
sion was fulfilled, The last moments
of the great general we're calm and
peaceful, as though his immortal
words, LET there be peace" had ban
ished deaths cruel pangs Thus ends
. career unequaled in modern history,
but his memory will be reyered by flu
ture generations as the greatest man
of his day. No need TO recount his
deeds of heroism; they are household
themes throughout the length and
breadth Of the civilized world.

Items From ArmadaIe.

Few and short are the items we have and We
hopefully think Of next week.
Brcwn, Of the "Fiying Goose'' ranch, had
dance at his place on the 18th inst.
We saw ye editor at the ball play--he being
admitted within the 'charmed circle, y
Barley in this town Is mostly in shock, and
within two weeks wheat harvest win be ID full
blast.
Chandler, who umpired the game Of ball at
Kondell, is eminently fitted for such work.
Being well posted as to the rules and regulations
of the game, he is not the man to yaccilate on
60 back on his decision and gives general satis-
faction.
Electric storms have been frequent here Of
late, plenty Of lightning and thunder with yery
little rain. Have also had high winds, but
none Of these things have injured our crops Ia
the least, and soon they will be out Of harms
way. =
The grading across the bottom west of town
will be completed next week and then we shall
have the best grade and finest etreet in the couu-
ty. Much credit should be given to Com,
Higgins for the thorough and artistic manner
in which he has made this long needed i'm.
provement.
The farmers picnic at Rondell is among the
things Of the past, bat it was good one in
every respect as hundreds Of the visitors can
testify. The attendance was very large and or
derly in the highest degree, no drunkenness or
fighting being Witnessed among all the multitude
assembled The grounds were in good shape
shady and cool, and the refreshments were
plentiful and well prepared-the amueemeDts
varied and numerous, and everything to please
the eye or taste was ct hand. We felt little
pride and satisfaction in having the Rose club
win in the base bali game bat shall leave It to
your correspondent at Rondell to report the
game more fully. We spent delightful day,
saw some good farms and crops, made some
new acquaintance and arrived home in good
time.

THE FARMERS PICNIC.

The farmers picnic in this town last Friday
was the largest attended and most successful
affair Of the kind ever witnessed in northers
Spink or southern Brown county. AS usual on
such festive occasions the town flag was raised
early in the morning and during the forenoon
continued TO fan gentle zephyrs of welcome to
the throng of incoming visitors String after
string Of teams poured in from every direction,
loaded with men, women and children well pre-
pared to minister to the inner man fair share
of the days enjoyment, At about IL O'Clock
the crowd had reached over one thousand, with
out exaggeration, and both groves presented
solid masses Of happy people moving to and fro
beneath the grateful shade. The Aberdeen and
Mellette brass bands were in attendance and az
various intervals produced excellent music.
Between IL and IL O'Clock several prominent
speakers were introduced, but, not being in heart
ing distance, We are unable to summarize the
drift Of their remarks. Among those who spoke
were Messrs. w. T.. johnson, G. A. Bliss.
w. c. Allen and @. W. Swift.
Without attempting to describe tho bountiful
repasts that were spread about and the justice
with which each was discussed, we will pass cd
TO the afternoons amusements. at 8so'ciock
the matched game of baseball between Rose and
Werner was called. The ganiew was 'intentiy
watched throughout, and, while nearly everyone
was betting heavily ON Warner, some Of the bets
being as high as FIVE to one, the following score
win show the resnlt:

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is about
to take legal steps to verify her claim
to the authorship Of the poem aLaugh
and the world laughs with you,Y which
the bumptious Col. John A Joyce, of
Wisconsin, insists is child of his ossn
brain. Mrs. Wilcox is unable to state
to what extent she has been damaged
by Col. Joyce's outrageous claim and
her lawyers now have their heads to-
gether trying to solve that problem.
Col. Joyce is one of those men who
recklessly claim a great deal more
than they are entitled TO, aud it
would not be surprising to near that
ne claims to be the author Of the
plays attributed generally to William
Shakespear.

The Mustard Law.

Through somebody's oversight the
amendment to the act relative to nox-
ious weeds passed by the late legisla-
ture was omitted from the volume of
session laws recently issued, and the
secretary has had it printed in pam
phlet form. Following are its pro-
visions;
Every person and every corporation
shall destroy upon all lands which he
or she shall occupy all weeds of the
kinds known as Canala thistle, cookie
burr and wild mustard, at such time
and in such manner as will effectually
prevent their bearing seed such time
and manner of destroying such weeds
shall be prescribed by township boards
Of supervisors, or by boards Of county
commissioners in counties which shall
not be organized into townships, and
the same shall be published in the
county not less than two weeks before
the time prescribed.
Provided, That If there be no news-
paper published in the county then
written notices of the same shall be
posted the same as election notices
are posted in lien of publication.
Every overseer of highways of every
township CT county shall also in like
time and manner destroy all such
weeds that may grow either on the
highways of his road district or on any
unoccupied land therein or on any
occupied lands therein which the oc-
cupant thereof shall refuse or neglect
to so destroy. For SO doing such over
seer shall have compensation, payable
out Of the township treasury or coun-
ty treasury, as the township board OF
supervisors or board of county COM
missiopers, upon the representation Of
his account therefor verified by his
cath, and specifying by separate LENS
tie charges (on) each piece OF land,
described in the same, shall deem
reasonable; and the respective ac-
counts so paid, except for the de-
struction of such weeds upon the
highways shall be placed on the tax
roll of the township or county, as the
case NAV be, in q separate column
headed. "For destruction of weeds
is 4 tax against the lands upon which
such weeds were destroyed, and be
collected as other taxes, and the entry
Of such tax on the tax roll shall be
conclusive evidence of the liability OF
the land SO taxed to such tax.
If the occupant Of any such lands
or any such overseer shall fail to de-
stroy such weeds as SO required such
occupant or oyerseer shall forfeit not
less than five dollars nor more than
fifty dollars. The chairman and each
supervisor Of every township or the
chairman and each commissioner OF
counties not organized into townships
shall prosecute promptly for every
such forfeiture which he shall have
reason to believe to have been incur
red.
