Miss Kellogg's Purchase.

Clara Louise Kellogg is a lady of
much more than ordinary brilliaucy in
conversation, and has general infor-
nation with reference to the country,
its people. topography, natural re-
sources and curiosities which would re-
fleet credit upon a scientist or historian.
Like all women of this class, whose
broad intellect is ever reaching out for
new developments and a higher intelli-
gence, Miss Kellogg has a passionate
fondness for the curious, and yester-
day morning hearing that Indian curl
osities could be secured in Bismarck,
she called a newsboy from the plat
form and told him to bring her the fin
est specimens of handiwork he could
find. The boy fastened away and
soon returned with several very pretty
articles, among them being hand
somely beaded riding-whip, which the
sweet-voiced singer purchased for
$3.50. The news of the boys success
in making a profitable sale to the ia
nous lady soon spread among his as
sociates, and while she was admiring
her fancy whip in tho corridor OF the
hotel, pug-nosed, loudvoiced boot
black rushed up to where she stood,
and cried, in voice that attracted the
attention of the gentlemen in the Of

DR.. Koch, the discoverer of the COM
ma bacillus, is below medium stature
and is much bent in figure. He has
thin hair, full beard, and deep-sunken
eyes, entirely obscured behind promi-
nent glasses. He PAGES backward and
forward steadily as he speaks, knitting
his brows as he uttcrs the slowly flowing
words which contain mines of truth
and the results of years of ardent in
vestigation. Probably no other man
of 40 has enriched science to the same
extent; yet from his looks few would
guess it.

FALSE STATEMENT.

We have reliable information that
Mr.. Pat Tierney, Of Iimberline. (who
by the way, is a republican. and was the
most prominent and conspicuous figure
head, and yelled more Justify than any
other person at the reception of Col. San
ders at .Timberline) wrote a note to
Major Pease, stating that Gilbert Dallas
and Jones Watson, detailed as a solicit
ing committee BY the knights of Labor
of Timberline. 10 collect subscriptions
for the locked.out miners, were not
authorized TO collect such subscriptions,
and that the funds so collected were to
be converted into democratic fund, to
be used for campaign purposes. In
justice to these gentlemen, we will say
that they are both red hot republicans,
and, SO far as we have been able to learn
have not mentioned politics while dis
charging the important trust imposed
upon them by the organization of which
they are members at Timberline. These
two men are among the most substantial
citizens of Timberline and have the re-
spect and confidence of all good citizenz
of that place. 1t was found necessary to
secure money to keep the wolf from the
door, until funds should arrive from the
east, and we hope that the committee
will meet with success and secure liberal
donations.

AN INTERESTING coMMuNIcAr1oN.

We are in receipt of letter from P.
R. Tierney of Timberline, in which he
expatiates to some length upon the ac-
ton of Chas. Carson in the Timberline
school matters. He accuses Carson OF
securing the appointment of a new
board of trustees for the purpose of hay-
ing new school building erected, to
cost 81 900, and that an election was held
at which many illegal votes were cast.
He reports conversation with Mr.. Car.
son, who, he says, informed him that he
had scared away Prof. Easton, who was
selected to teach the school by the old
board, by telling him that the miners of
Timberline would lynch him, should he
go there.
In conclusion Tierney says; "I wish
to state that the correspondent of the
Couries tells a falsehood when he says
that the notice (of election) only called
for two mills on the dollar; as it called
for 2 cents-and if 1 am the party he
represents as being the bulldozer, he il
also liar and cur of the lowest type
|, as well as other taxpayers, saw that
it was useless to vote, consequently we
did not" Tierney claims to be repub-
lican, but says that he cannot vote for
Carson, whom he has known since 1858.

A GOOD COUNTRY.

S. D. Howes is in town direct from
Thompson's Falls, where he owns a
ranch near town and is carrying on the
dairy business. He is infatuated with
the country around Thompson's and
saws that the mines of the Wardner dis
trict are immense and that tons of ma
chinery are being shipped to them daily.
The climate he says is beautiful the
whole year around, there not being ten
days of bad weather all of last year.
Mr.. Howes revisited Bozeman for the
purpose of selling his old homestead of
l20 acres, which he promptly succeeded
in doing, Jno. Nelson paying him $500
therefor. This place adjoins Mr.. Nell
sons, and is good farm, with fence and
some ground broke, but no buildings
thereon.
Mp Howes in August lost three yalu-
able horses through the medium of
horse thieves, and is offering reward of
$75. for information that will lead to
their recovery.
