nine and a picked nine from the city. The
game was not very exciting, as it was too
much one sided. The score ended &c to 3,
in favor of the printers. From the play
ing of the picked nine. it was evident that
with a little practice, they could soon play
a good game.

The Cattle Boom Ended.

The year 1885, says a correspond
ent in the Press, witnessed lower
prices for beef in all the eastern mark
cts than has been known since 1880,
and that Notwithstanding the fact
the receipts were lighter than for any
year except one in the past five. The
sudden advances in the price Of stock
cattle, which commenced early in 1882.
was due to the large purchases made
by foreign syndicates, principally in
Texas, but the propulsion was felt
throughout the herds of the west.
The newspapers took up the theme;
the depression that began to prevail
in other Industries served to turn es-
pecial attention to this, and many
stock companies were organized on a
large scale Conservative stockmen,
who found their wealth doubled al
most in day, sold their herds in an
ticipation of a reaction, but the i'm
petus had been given to bring about
cattle craze, and tho sympathetic re-
lations that seemed to spring up be-
tween producers and the various
classes of middlemen maintained the
piece of beef at unprecedentedly high
fip,1res fn,. three yaars
What the ruting rate will be the
coming season is hazardous to say but
Judging from all circumstances it is
fair to assume that it will be as much
lower proportionally as the price last
year was lower than the previous one.
Never before were so many marketa-
BILE beeves held over upon the range.
The eastern markets are likely to be
glutted beyond their capacity for dis
posing Of the product at prices the
shippers will hope to obtain. As a
consequence the shrinkage in the val
ne of range herds will be considera-
BILE; but it is only a return to normal
conditions. and sagacious stockmen
will trim their sales accordingly The
companion industry OF sheep raising
experienced long period of depres-
sion, aud is again thriving.
Choteau county affairs will not snf
fer by possible decrease in the as
sessed valuation of cattle, for there
are many indications that the number
now upon our ranges viii be doubled
by herds that will be driven here from
southern districts. The stockmen's
profits have been large. They have
enjoyed long harvest and should
not complain # their future gains will
be somewhat reduced by reaction
that will benefit the many consumers.

Montana's Sange Stock.

Manager Concord of the Concord
Cattle company, with headquarters at
Miles City, IN speaking of the condi-
ton of stock says: Il have just re-
turned from our range, extended 200
miles south of the Northern Pacific.
We have $4,000 head of cattle on
these ranges, and they all are in fine
condition. There is but little snow
and we now have no fears for the rest
OF the season. All cattle south of the
Yellowstone are doing we'll; and 80
are what few sheep are there. There
is plenty of prime beef on the range
now.

Who Hoyie Was.

According to Hoyle'' is a common
phrase, and ,Hoyle's Games" are
widely known; but many card players
labor under the impression tina Hoyle
was reformed gambler, who turned
his attention to book-making as a
means Of keeping out of the poor
house. Edmund Hoyle was Lon
doner who died in 1896, aged 81. He
was among the first who took a spec
ial interest in whist. did much to per-
feet the game, and after it became a
craze, devoted several years to teach
ing it at guinea lesson. He was
paid $4,000 for his first treatise on
whist, published in 1743, when he
held government Office in Ireland.
Toward the close of his life he reyis-
ed it and included other popular
games.

The Adn,ssG7a Bill.


The bill introduced IN the senate
BY Mr Voorhees,. for the admmission
of Montana, provides:
Five hundred thousand acres of I'M
appropriated lands shall be reserved
for school purposes, and seventy-two
sections Of land for the support of an
agricultural college; seventY-two sec
tions for the use and support OF a
school of mining; seyenty-two sec
tons for deaf and dumb institution,
fifty sections for the erection and
maintenance of executive buildings,
fifty sections for a state penitentiary,
fifty sections for an insane asylum,
and that all the hot springs within
the state are granted for such pur-
poses; 10 per cent. of the net proceeds
Of the sale of public lands after Jan
uary 80, 1890, shall be paid to the
state for school purposes. All the
laws now in force shall be continued
2rovision is made for the appoint
meat Of judges and other federal Of
HcerA, by the president, and for the
government Of the court.
Senator Voorhees, expects, in return
for his support Of the bill to admit
Dakota, that the republicans will vote
for the admission of Montana and
Washington territories as states, for
which he has introduced bills. Both
of these territories have democratic
delegates in congress and he assumes
that they will continue to give dem
ocratic majority after being admitted
to statehood. It is also said that the
Texas senators will support the Da-
kota bill with the expectation that the
republicans will vote for the division
of Texas into three states. A bill for
this purpose has not yet been intro
duced, but the proposition is being
advocated, and is increasing in popu-
larity.

that country, together with numerous
other esca pades too numerous to
mention in detail His first idea
while here in town at large was, after
having taken unto himself confed-
crate, to commit burglary upon a
certain house IN town, in which house
they had every reason to believe there
was large sum of money concealed.
The scheme Of holding up the train
then received due attention, but was
discarded as being too risky. The
prospect for loot upon the Utah &
Northern road was then carefully
considered, but it was not feasible
from the fact that the pecuniary
means necessary for their transporta-
over to the locality in question was
not in their possession. So in order
to get something upon which to work
to enable them to obtain the necessa-
ry equipments, etc, the Dcadwood

being near town and not likely to Of

is known and it is presumed that they
