Increasing Silver Circulation.

WASHINGTON, September 2.-Treasurer
Jordan said to-day that the policy adopted
by the treasury department to secure
better circulation OF silver coin is meeting
with gratifying success. During August
there was paid out from the different sub
treasures $1,677, ,444 in standard dollars,
and 81 ,495, ,502 in fractional silver coin,
which amounts were largely in excess of
the issue of silver during the correspond
ing month of last year. Mr.. Jordan says:
ssThe withdrawal OF 81 and 81 notes from
circulation was made necessary by the
rapid accumulation of silver in the sub
treasures. It was expected in this way to
create demand for silver coin. That the
plan was successful is shown by the large
output during the past month. So far no
formal eonaplaints or protests against the
withdrawal of ST. and 81 notes have been
made. Applications haYe been, however,
received for huge quantities Of small notes.
In each case answer has simply been made
that the issue of those notes has been sus-
pended for the present." Treasury Off
cials express themselves as much encour-
aged by the present state of finances, and
predict an improvement in the general
BUSINESS Of the country.

w oo1 Market.

The demand for wool in Boston and
Philadelphia seems almost unlimited at
prevailing prices, and the sales enormous,
larger than were ever before known in
the history of the trade in either city, if
we except the years of the war. Never
theless, prices do not advance materially,
although the conditions ali seem to favor
higher prices. The reason is simply this !:
Manufacturers have already sold their pro-
ducts ahead, at low prices, and are free
buyers within limits that will save them
from a loss. Beyond that point there is no
market for wool. On the other side sellers
have paid, in the country, more than it
was worth in market when it was pur-
chased, and are cheerful sellers in Boston
at prices that will save them from loss.
After the frightened holders and the
equally frightened manufacturers have
sold out and bought in enough to make
them easy, we expect to see very solid
market, with rather short supplies in all
the leading markets, and prices little
better than they are now-as much better
as any general Improvement in business
will warrant.
We find it impossible to get up any
strong faith in a permanent improvement
in wool, until we can see other branches
revive. There may be "boom,' = or, as
grain men say, "bulge," but wool cannot
scar alone to any extreme height, and stay
up long.-Chicago Wool Journal.

INDIAN DEVILTRY.
A War Party of Crows Succeed In Getting
Away With Good Band OF. Horses.

From Ferd. Kaiser, who arrived in this
city to-day from his sheep ranch on Eagle.
creek, in the Bear Paw country, we learn
that war party Of nine Grows stopped at
his place few days ago, en- route south
to their reservation, with band of thirty
horses which they had stolen from the
Piegans and settlers. About half Of the
animals were fine, large American horses,
but none of them were branded. They
were by no means Indian horses, and it is
something of a puzzle where they came
from.
The Indians said they had had fight
with the PiegaLs at the Sweet Grass hills,
but as to the result Of the battle, if they
had one, nothing was said. They broke
camp at Eagle creek about o'clock a. m,
and in four hours afterwards Lieut.. Bach
us, with detachment of thirty men, ar
rived at the ranch, in pursuit. The troops
followed on with all possible speed, but
evidently did not catch the Indians before
they had crossed the Missouri, AS was de-
SlECus DeHlS WlIuOuU IdGIOIIS lOi IOilS
seige, Lieut.. Bachus and command re-
turned to the Coal Banks, and, we under
stand, will renew the pursuit from that
point.
These are the same Indians reported a
few days since as having passed the hay
camp on the Sandy, though it was sup
posed then that they were Bloods, from
the north. Mr. Kaiser says the party was
we'll equipped, and larger, finer looking
Indians he says he never say. They made
no attempt to molest him or his property,
being evidently well satisfied with the re-
suit of their marauding excursion.
Lieut.. Bachus and party left the post at
midnight and made splendid time in pur-
suit, and it is only to be regretted that
they did not take sufficient rations to have
continued the march until the red raiders
were captured.

one of the possibilities of the near future.
Such line will prove of .inestimable value

What They Say.


Red Buckland says that notwithstand-
ing his face is swelled up with neu-
ralgia, he completed his harvesting on
Saturday last.
Range men, farmers and others say that
such season for grass was never known
before. The prairies are as green as in
the spring, the only fear Is that 1t will
freeze before the grass is cured, in which
event stock will suffer for want Of nutri-
tious food.
Mr.. Paris Gibson expresses the belief
that Montana will yet be the great wheat
producing section of the northwest; that
the bench lands are more productive than
the lands on the bottoms and the yield, es-
pecially with season like the past, will
be greater owing to the soil being warmer
than in the bottoms. This belief Is con-
ffrmed by farmers who for the past two or
three years have been experimenting with
grain on the bench land with results that
have astonished them.

mills at Great Falls say they will be ready

during the campaign last fall, declares the
Virginia congressman to be one of the
most incessant takers in political fight
he ever listened to. The two statesmen
were trayelieg together through the south
western section of the state electioneering
for Cleveland and making sometimes as
many as twenty or twenty-five speeches
day. In fact, whenever Mr.. Tucker dis
covered several men talking together by
roadside he. without further ceremony,
walked into their midst and delivered a
brief speech on the struggle then going on.
One morning about o'clock these two
gentlemen were passing through a piece
Of woods when they came upon hanging
party. The rope had been placed around
the victims neck, and the chief execu-
toner Informed the prisoner that he
might have ten minutes to say anything
lie desired in his own behalf. Mr.. Tucker
saw an opportunity, SO Mr.. Blackburn
says, to work off few political remarks.
He pushed his way through the crowd
and requested the condemned man to di-
vide his time with him.

A Substitute for Buffalo Robes.

When it became apparent that the buff
falo was undergoing very rapid process
of determination, dealers in and manufac-
turers of robes began to cast about for
substitute for the robes which had formed
such universal protection against the
rigor of northern winters for so many
years. Many different kinds of pelts were
brought into market, the most acceptable
being Russian dog skin which obtained
favor both with manufacturers and con-
sumers, but this is new in danger Of being
supplanted with the hide of the Galloway
cattle, which aside from the defects occa-
stoned by branding is nearly the equal of
the famed buffalo hide. The striking re-
semblanee of the Galloway to a buffalo is
the subject Of constant remark, and it
would not be strange if they succeeded
the bison in supplying the world with its
winter protection. They have the advan-
tage of the buffalo in color and texture
of fur to begin with.

Mysterious Scourge.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, September "A
great deal ofaexcitement prevails in Clay
county, in this state, over malignant
form of disease which cannot be explained
by the local physicians. Every hour
brings the news of another death. The
malady is thought to be flux, but it is
more fatal disorder, with symptoms SINH
lar to cholera. In the family OF Squire
Sizemore four sons died within a few
hours, and others of the family are sick
with the disease. 1t is mostly confined to
children, who are attacked with sickness
and die in very short time, being paral-
yzed with pain. Sycamore creek region,
where the disease prevails, is sparsely
populated with hardy class of noun
taineers. The disease seems to be of the
same nature as that which prevailed in
southwest Virginia and the adjoining part
of Kentucky last year.

Some Pertinent Questions.

Editor OF the River Press
Is it right for white man, who is sup
posed to be civilized, to live with a squaw
without the least semblance of marriage
ceremony?
Is it not crime against the laws of
both God and man?
Has the man who will do it any respect
for himself, his sisters or the mother that
bore him?
Is he not lost to all sense of decency and
honor?
Is it not stain upon a community that
man is allowed to live, in open violation
of the laws of civilization, by keeping a
mistress, whether she be white or colored? :?
Should he not be given to understand
that his actions bar him out of decent so
ciety?
What is the duty of the Indian agent in
this matter?
Should not the grand jury have some
thing to say upon this subject?
Are the local officers Of the law justified
in passing this thing over in. silence and
ignoring its existence?
Who cares to bring his mother, sister or
wife into community where such things
are allowed? QUERIsT.

Correcting History.

WASHINGTON, September General
Logan and wife have arrived here from
the Thousand Islands and report that the
highly entertaining story about their mar
row escape from drowning while their
photographs were being taken is a pure
romance. The facts are that while sitting
for photograph with marine back
ground, some one stepped on the side of
the boat and tipped it SO it shipped water,
but it dill not overturn, and the only dam
age suffered was wet boat. One end of
the boat was on the bank all the time and
the water was not more than knee deep
anywhere around them.

Bright. But not Booming"

These words indicate with sufficient ac-
curacy the business prospects. The i'm
provement in feeli ng and in actual trade,
which has now continued longer than at
any time since the depression began, pre-
vailed throughout the past week the
slight reactions being quickly recovered
and the general tendency being onward.
The local exchanges for the week amount
ed to$61 ,844, ,959, gain Of 6,500.000 over
the corresponding week last year, and the
balances were more than 81 900, 900 larger.
The New York bank clearings were over
$1,000 900, larger than in 1884, and $42,-
week. The bank statement was again ia
vorable, the loans increasing $2,614 900,
and the surplus reserve falling off over
ST. 100000. Although the new deposits
overtopped the loans by about 81 100000
the call for .noney has improved, and the
gain in deposits is attributed to the pay
ments and collections upon merchandise.
The activity in the New York stock mar
ket is indicated by the sales Of nearly p
25O, 900 shares during the week, the larges
number credited to any week save one
since the rise began. And though "a of
the transactions comprised but fifteen
stocks the average number dealt in daily
eighty-six against sixty during the past
three months, showing an activity
throughout the list that has heretofore
been absent. The somewhat improved
demand for money has not yet advanced
the rate of discounts, as it could not be ex-
pected would be the case, in view Of the
greet accumulation of money; but it is
noted that s'lenders'' are showing less in
clination ''to make long time invest
ments.'' Unless all signs fail, money will
not long be as cheap as it has been during
the last six months.
The general tradereports point to slow
but steady gain. The prices of wool tend
upward, and the activity of the past six
weeks is maintained. Bleached cotton
has advanced 215 per cent, and brown
sheetings have started upward. The i'm
provement in iron, if not quite up to the
enthusiasm with which the ssturn Of the
lane'' was welcomed, is very encouraging
to the manufacturers, In drygoods and
general merchandise, the feeling reported
from Philadelphia is true of this market; !;
it is 'suniformly more hopeful than at any
time during the past year, although, as
was said at the start, no "boom" is looked
for, nor indeed desired, by those who re-
alize what it means.-Boston Advertiser.

Rumored Purchase of the New York
Herald.

New YORK, September 3.-The Tribune
says: A report is current that John w.
Mackay is negotiating with James Gordon
Bennett for the purchase of the New York
Herald, with the intention putting John
Russell Young at the head of its editorial
staff. Mackay is interested with Bennett
in the Bennett-Mackay cable, in the con-
struction of which $4,000, 900 is said to
have been sunk for Bennett 5 share of the
enterprise. Mackay is reported to hold
mortgage on the Herald. Mackay's
wealth is much talked about in this con-
nection. He is said to have $21, 900, 900
in securities locked up in his strong box,
bringing from four to eight per cent in
terest, in addition to his cable investment
and his interest in the bank of Nevada.
Gossip runs that he would be able to back
the Herald with $4,000, 900.
