According to the GlObe-Democrat
the postmasters in Missouri, being Re-
publicans, are too angelicin disposition
and propensity, and too utterly eff
cient to be removed by the incoming
administration. Unfortunately, there
are several wicked persons in our Conn
monwealth who don't tie to the G.-D.'s
tow-line. These perverse beings in
sist that there are plenty of Democrats
who are fully qualified to fill the posi-
tons named, and as these p. BIS. will
have some ''infiooence" with the pow
ers that are soon going to be, we fear
the aforesaid angels will have to 60.

Just as he was about to begin work one

Something more fierce than Texas
''Norther" or a western blizzard struck
Decatur right where she lives, yesterday
morning about II o'clock. Our inform
ant states that the Union Hotel and de-
pot were unroofed, as were also several
other houses in the town.
The wind ''blew great guns" as the
sailors say, and swinging signs and back
fences went visiting, and held close
communion for time.
The river was in lively mood for some
minutes and it looked as if the Tennes-
see had turned back and concluded
to run up stream.
The steamer Ida, cut loose from her
moorings and objected to the up stream
arrangement, so the Ida compromised
matters by going into somebody's back
yard, and dry docking herself. Another
steamer concluded to 60 to the bottom
Of the river until the storm would be
over, and she has kept out of sight ever
since. 1t is expected she will ''bob ul
serenely," with the aid of derricks in q
day or two. When our informant left
Decatur, the cyclone had also left, but il
was still raining.

DELAYED Indian Supplies.

Complaints have been received at the
Indian Office, Washington, through a
special agent that the Northern Mon
tana Indians were in danger of freezing
this winter for want of sufficient cloth
ing and blankets. They have a sutfi-
cheney of food, but this years shipment
of clothing has not reached them. To-
day Secretary Lamar inquired of the
contractors, through their New York
representative, and found the goods had
been shipped from New York in Sep
tember. The contractors were at once
directed to take all steps possible topush
the shipments through before cold
weather sets in. Tracers will be sent
after them, and it is expected that there
will be no difficulty in providing the
Indians with blankets before very cold
weather arrives.

Montana Improvement Company Suits.
AWashington special says: Mr.. Sparks,
commissioner Of the general land Office,
does not approve Of the policy which AS
sistant Secretary jerks has laid down, of
suspending thirty suits in Montana against
those who are charged with taking timber
from the public domain. He has written
a letter to Secretary Lamar protesting
against this action.
A dispatch from Washington says that
notice will shortly be given the Northern
Pacific to cut no timber on its own lands
unless it has patents to them. The Inter-
ior department takes the ground that the IT,
tie to these lands is still in the United States
and though the Northern Pacific has an
equitable title it yet has not full right to
90 on and remove the timber. Of course
necessary timber for road-building pur-
poses will be allowed.
If the Interior Department proceeds
much farther on this line it will regulate
Montana's prosperity clean out of exist
ence.
