The city was shocked yesterday by
the receipt of intelligence of the death
of the Rev. L. p Linnell, at Bozeman,
on Thursday. The Rev. Armstrong
received the first intelligence of the
sad end. From the meagre informa-
tion at hand il seems that Mr.. Linnell
for the past two weeks has been i'll.
He was first taken sick in Helena,
where he remained a week, and then
went to Bozeman where he remained.
1t is thought that the primary cause
of his sickness was originated while on
a trip to the Great Falls country,
where he made very long ride around
that country, he having travelled over
400 miles. During the trip he was
lost on the prairie for a day and night
without food or water, and was quite
feeble when he reached settlement
Mr.. Linnell came to Miles City in
1888 and took charge of the Presbyte'
rian church here. This position he
very acceptably filled until he was
promoted to the responsible position
of missionary for Montana, in which
time he has continually been travel
ing for the good of his church. The
deceased was about 3s years old. The
remains will probably be taken east
tor interment.

Twas Ever Thus.

There is no further news regarding
the fast train service on either the
Northern or Union Pacific roads. Mr.
Odell is still on the coast and nothing
has been heard as to his success
in making the contemplated arrange
ments in that regard with the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company
Certain il is that the Northern Pacific
will not put on such train unless the
Union inaugurates the movement
The Union has announced that it will
do so, but 1t is said that IL has failed to
make expected arrangements for con,
nections with roads east of the Mis-.
souri,. 1t is estimated that it will cost
$1,000 per day to run the additional
fast train, and the increase in revenue
will he very small. 1t may be said
that there is no certainty that either
road will put on the fast train, but it
is practically certain that If one does
the other will follow suit.

Grave fears are entertained by the
majority of the stock men recently
from off the ranges, that the cattle in.
terest of this section of the territory
is in danger of almost universal ex-
tinction. In numerous interviews
with those most prominently con-
nected with the range interest and un-
doubtedly conversant with the state
of affairs In all its nakedness, but one
sentiment is expressed, that of the ter
rihle condition of the range and the
inadequate supply Of grass for winter
feed. The cattle having cleaned up
all the grass to be found on the bot
tom lands and valleys, usually sufii-
cient to run them through until fall,
are now drifting out upon the high

the only subsistence upon which they
can depend throughout the winter
months, " hen the low lands are COW

The Indestruotibility Of Jarrah Wood.

In the course of a recent lecture be-
fore the Society of Arts, London, by
Mr.. P. L. Simmonds, he spoke of the
excellent qualities of the Australian
tree known as the jarrah.
In the discussion which followed, Mr..
Simonds said he was connected with the
timber trade, having had thirty-two
years experience in western Australia.
The jarrah wood of that colony was
acknowledged, by those who knew its
qualities, to be about the next
thing to everlasting, and he hoped
that In the next year a few
cargoes would come to England. Al
most everything in western Australia
was made of this timber, work boxes,
pianofortes, buildings, wharves, and
1etties; it seemed to defy all known
forms Of decay and was untouched by
white ants and all other insects, so that
ships built Of it did not require to be
coppered. 4.
It had been used above ground and
below, in almost every situation in
which timber could be placed, and was
durable in all. On the table was a
specimen from tree cut thirty two
years ago, which had lain on the sur
face nearly all that time; it had been
exposed to bush fires every two or three
years, to the sun during summer, to
wind and rain during the wet season,
and was as sound now as the day it was

AT the invitation of Mr. Tannaker
Buhicrosan number, of ladies and gen

been spared to make the village com

to produce 9 very picturesque interior.

Chugging for suckers.

(Dingman's Ferry (Pa.) Cor. New York Sun.
Chugging for suckers is an ancient re-
creation. When the courageous ances-
tors of the sucker.chugger of to-day set
tied down on the rock-ribbed hills of
Pike county there was no picKerel nor
bass nor perch in the ponds. There
were plenty of suckers and bullheads.
The former were worthless in the sum-
mer, and the latter buried themselves
in the mud in the winter. Suckers
wouldn't bite through the ice during the
season when they were good to eat. One
day some one of these first irstlings of
the forest cut a hole in the ice ON a
pond to draw water up in q bucket with
a rope to it. While he was looking down
into the hole some one else was chop
ping a stick of wood on the ice a short
distance away. Immediately following
every ''chug" Of the ak. suckers hurried
by The hole in schools. =
An idea struck the settler. He tied
some hooks on the end of stick and
stuck them down in the hole. When
the AK came down and Jared the ice
along came the suckers, and he ierked
out two big ones the first time he tried.
That put an end to the peace and quiet
that had always reigned in the sucker
family during the winter. Every pond
in the whole region was filed with chug-
ging parties in less than no time, and
the cabins of the settlers became savory
with the smell of fried suckers. Their
descendants may have degenerated in
many things, but when it comes to up
and-up scientific chugging for suckers
they are there every time.

A queer way of employing ants is re-
ported by an English gentleman who
has been travelling through one of the
provinces of China. 1t appears that, in
many parts of the province of Canton,
the orange trees are infested by worms;
and, to rid themselves of these pests,
the natives bring ants into the orange
ries from the neighboring hills. The ants
are trapped by holding the mouth of a
lard bladder to their nests. They are
then placed among the branches of the
orange trees, where they form colonies;
and bamboo rods are laid from tree to
tree, to enable the. antst to move through
out the orangery.
