The wedding was simple and beautiful,
and was performed by DR.. Byron Sunder-
land. There was no formal order observed
in the supper room, but the collation. was
served and the guests sat at the small ta-
bles or slowly promenaded the room and
discussed the menu and chatted over the
event of the evening. The toilets Of the
ladies were grand. The white house was
elaborately decorated. Just after supper,
at $3.50 o'clock, the president and bride
said hasty goodbye to their friends and
left the house through the private en-
trance. A closed carriage awaited them,
and as they entered and the horses started
off a shower Of rice was thrown at the
carriage. A number Of reporters, think
ing that the president would endeavor to
slip away, tried to keep track of him.
This was reported to the president, SO he
instructed his driver to go out by an al
mo-t unused route. His carriage went to
the Baltimore 6 Ohio railroad depot,
where a special train was in waiting to
take the president and his bride to Deer
Park. They vii! probably remain at the
park about week, during which time
they will occupy small cottage attached
to the hotel.
The wedding presents were many, but
they were not exhibited, nor was any lls'
furnished. Just as the ceremony began
the presidential salute was fred by q bat.
terry Of artillery near the river and the
church bells began Ginning the wedding
march.

the president: ssPray accept my sincere
congratulations on your marriage and my
best wishes for your happiness
A London paper, in commenting on the
marriage, says: s'It was graceful ACT
on the part Of Mr.. Cleveland to show that
the president Of the United States does not
derogate from his exalted position by
making his wedding OF the plainest and
simplest character.

The New Bishop CT Missouri.

Rt. Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, D. D.,
bishop of Utah and Idaho, whose election
as bishop Of Missouri was announced re-
Gently, was born in Windham, Greene
county, New York, in 1887. He was ed.
ucated at Delhi academy Columbia college
class of 1859. and general theological SEM
mary, New York City. He was ordained
to the ministry in 1862, and began his
work as rector of Zion church, Morris,
Ostego county, n. Y. He remained at
Morris until he was elected bishop OF
Utah, Idaho and Montana, to which office
he was consecrated in 1867. At this time
he was the youngest bishop in the Episco-
pal church. He at once entered upon his
work, residing for year at Helena, Mon
tana. afferward and until the present time
at Salt Lake City. In 1880 Montana was
erected into d separate Jurisdiction. He
has been very successful in his work, and
probably is as we'll posted on Mormonism
as any man in the country. lie was elect
ed bishop of missions once before, IN 1868,
but declined He is a man of. fine
physique and preacher Of more than US
ual ability. It is not at all certain that he
will leave his present field for Missouri.
He is married and has four children.
Bishop Tuttle is pleasantly remembered
by the old residents Of Montana who will
be clad to hear that he has been honored
by being elected bishop Of Missouri.

the next morning seven more had appear

Der it is evident that they have come to

Wouldn't it be good idea for some one
to start rabbit canning establishment or
squirrel pot pie factory. Prairie dogs
may not be quite as sweet and tender but
they cannot run so fast as the former.
The ground was becoming very dry;
bench grain began to look discouraged,
the creeks began to fail and water wheels
turned more slowly. There was an anx-
ious wishful look in the eyes of ranchers
and a longing for big black clouds until At
last the rain came. Gentle showers fol-
lowed one after another and all nature
seemed to rejoice.
Everyone is later than usual in seeding
partly on account Of SO much bad weather
In the early spring, and from the large
amount of new ground being sown as we'll.
The epidemic of the nature of distem-
per prevalent among horses seems to have
become quite generally wide spread. The
symptoms in nearly every case are about
the same, beginning with cough follow
ed by catarrhal like discharge from the
nostrils and attended by fever. AS a gen.
eral thing the infected animals rush to the
watering places very early in the morning
TO quench their thirst.

Not a Pleasant Sight.

WASHINGTON, May 27-Oneof the most
remarkable and at the same time hun.ilat-
ing spectacles that was ever seen IL con-
gress took place in the senate to-day, when
George Hearst, the new senator from CAL
ifornia, delivered what was intended to be
an eulogy upon the life and character OF
his predecessor, John f. Miller. Hearst
never made a speech in public before, and
was entitled to some allowance because OF
his tnexperence; but he had stimulated
himself to undergo the ordeal of a maiden
speech until he was in a condition OF ex-
treme intoxication. He read his remarks
in manner that caused the other senators
to exchange glanees Of Indignation and
provoked laughter in the galleries

here that $50 teams are at work on the
western extension of the Manitoba system

graded. It is expected that the solving Of

soon settled for the Montana Central by
the building of this line to strike the river
at this point. The rails needed between
Red Mountain and Great Falls may come
up the river from Pierre or Chamberlain.

NEIHA.RT NOTES.
: Concentrator to be Built-the Mines
Improving and Everybody Happy
Over the Outlook.

A meeting was held at Neihart on the
Goth ult. to take into consideration the
proposal made by Mr.. Oberly regarding
the erection Of a aconcentrator at that place.
The meeting was called to order by
Judge Payne. Prof. Grenier was elected
Chairman and E.. j. Sanford secretary.
The professor stated the object of the
meeting. and then introduced Mr.. Oberly,
who made a strong argument in setting
forth the necessity and benefits that would
be derived from the erection of cvncen-
traitor in the camp. At the conclusion of
the address Judge Payne put a few ques-
fions to Mr.. Oberly, which were satisfac-
torlIy answered by that gentleman, after
which the meeting adjourned. Mr.. Ober-
ls is. an agent of the Jackson, Henry Mfg.
to. of Denver, Colorado, and came here in
tne Interests of the Hudson Mining Co. to
draw plans and specifications for the erec-
on oEa concentrater together with its es-
timated costs and capacity. tie is very
favorably impressed with the present
hart has very promising future, with
more ore on the dumps, for the amount of
development, than any other camp in the
territory with the exception Of Butte.
Since his arrival he has devoted large
proportion of his time in examining the
principal mines, and to his surprise has
discovered, by practical tests and other
| wise. that the ores are good concentrating
ores His impression of the camp is such
shat he will probably erect a 3concentrator
INDEPENDENT of the Hudson Mining COM
pany. Many Of the mine owners have
expressed willingness to donate por-
ton of the ore now on the dumps towards
tue enterprise. Mr.. Oberly seems TO be a
man of excellent Judgment and ourpeople
are Of the opinion that he means business.
| He lett for Butte to-day via White Sulphur
Springs and will return in two or three
weeks There are strong probabilities
that we will have one and probably two
commentators in operation within three
months.
