When used for Cotton it not only
starts the plant early and gives it
vigorous growth, but causes it to fruit
well and mature early and perfectly,
making the finest lint. 1t does not
impoverish the soil, but improves it.
There is not a single article which

For Corn there is no crop upon
which the use OF a good commercial
fertilizer pays better. In an ordi-
nary season it will pay 100 per cent
profit on the cost, and in case of
drought, many instances have come
to our knowledge which in conse-
quence of the early start and vigor-
Gus growth given the crop by the fer
tilizer, it has made a large yield,
while other fields, of as good or bet
ter land, were cut off by the drought
and scarcely yielded anything.

PLEURO.PNEUMONIA:

II is demonstrated beyond doubt that
peuro-pneumonia exists In Chicago. Near
" two thousand animals which are being
fattened for killing have been exposed to
the disease, and several have died from its
effects. This is matter in which Mon
tana is concerned deeply. The stock inter-
ests oi this Territory are among her most
valuable possessions, and should not be
jaoparaiGed in any possible way. Doubt
less the quarantine established by local in
spectors in Chicago and the vigilance exer-
rised by them will go far toward prevent
ing IA spread OF the disease. but it is a mat.
ter in which the stock-growers' associa.
lions OF Montana should also be on their
guard. 1t is much better to take every
precaution against the importation OF the
dreaded plague, even if those precautions
are expensive and troublesome, than to be
obliged to make still more costly fight
against it after it has gained foothold.
The stockmen and dairymen OF the Terri.
tory have the right to expect the most
rigid protection, and the present instance
is one where il should be vigorously exer-
ti<ed. Quarantine measures should be
adopted at once.

CHICAGO, September 26.--The following
crop review will appear in this weeks issue
of the Farmers Review: The weather has
continued unusually favorable for growing
corn, and bulletins from Iowa, Wisconsin,
and Illinois indicate slightly more favor

BILE q month ago. The crop has certainly
not gone backward as q whole during the
past four weeks, but reports as to the

acre will be considerably below the aver.
age. The lowest averages are reported
from Wayne, Stevenson, Mason and Boone
counties, where the yield is placed at
seventy bushels. In Wabash, Stark. Pu-
laski, 10, Davis, johnson, Greene, Fulton,
and Coles the yield is estimated at twenty.
Ave to thirty bushels. In Crawford, Etting-
ham, Kankakee, Mcdonald and Wood
ford the yield is placed at thirty-tive to
forty bushels.
In Iowa, the averages followed closely
those OF Illinois. In twenty.one counties
reporting this week. the lowest estimate il
twelve bushels for Fayette county, and the
highest forty bushels for Grundy, Potto-
wattomie, Winnesheik and Jackson coun-
ties. In Davis, Ringgold, Wayne. Warren
and Washington counties, the yield is es'

Gage and Toma counties twenty-five bush

REPORT OF INDIAN COMMISSIONERS
Tho Horrible Condition Of MInncsota
Indians.

Indians.
ST. PAUL, September 26.-Messrs. Wright
and Larabee, the Indian Comm;s;o on, which
had been arranging treaties with the In
dians OF northern Minnesota, are in the
city for a few days. In addition to the
facts already published about the treaties
made, they report most determined ef-
fort on the part OF men interested in the
sale of whisky to Indians to prejudice
them against the commission. The theory
is that so long as the Indians can be kept
outside Of reservations and open to the al'
vance of whites they can be led to part
with the money they make from the sale ol
rice and blueberries for whisky.
The Indians OF Leech Lake Reservation
sold this season 900 worth OF berries
and the commissioners state that the larger
part ofthis goes to buy whisky. AtWhite
Oak Point the Indians werefo in most
deplorable condition. In some instances
they had been so completely demoralized
and 80 entirely robbed cf the means Of sub
sisteuce that they ould eat the dead bod.
les of diseased horses. The men were in a
revolving condition and seemingly lost to
moral sense, while the women were made
articles OF merchandise. The last scene that
the commissioners witnessed as they pulled
out to their canoes from White Oak
Point was touching. Upon the bank
OF the lake in the midst of chilling rain
sat a poor Indian woman shedding tears
over the act OF an unnatural husband who
had Just sold one OF her children, young
girl no more than l Z years OF age to some
lumberman for sack OF -four.
It ID said by the Commissioners that
there are many instances where
girls are as good as sold to
whitemen and after being robbed
of all they have most dear, are turned
adriit with babe in their arms and an.
other girl taken in their place. The com
mission will visit Mile La Co reservation
and will go thence to Fond Du Lac, Boise
Fort and Grand Portage to complete the
work in Minnesota. They will, il it he not
too late, 20 to Dakota, stopping at Fort
Berthold, and from there to Montana, and
thence to Washington Territory, Oregon
and Idaho.

The Anarchists.

CHICAGO. September 2S.-Aflidavits to
support the motion for a new trial for the
condemned Anarchists was filed by the at
torneys to-day. The usual plea entered is
that the verdict is not supported by the
evidence and it is also urged that counsel
for the State employed form OF argument
which was calculated to prejudice the jury.
The chief point urged, however, Is the story
telegrapked from indianapolis shortly al
ter the conclusion OF the trial to the effect
that man entered saloon in that city
one or two days before the Haymarket
massacre and exhibited O sachel intimat-
ing that 1, slaughter would occur in Chicago
in few days. The theory OF the defense
is that this mysterious stranger had q
quantity of dynamite bombs and is the per-
son in all llke,, ,,a0od who threw the bombs
into the ranks OF the police. The manner
in which the jury was summoned before
whom the defendants were tried is also OBJ
iected to.

ST. LOUIS, September 26.-The English

entitled "Mr. Virgins Prophecy" says

writer, "claims to have predicted the

ance OF either sort could steer clear OF his
predictions. He loudly proclaims that on
the goth inst. there will he another great
earthquake, one OF the most terrific sub
terranean upheavals ever known on this
continent. He knows that such a predic-
ton will attract attention to his name
and that ii no disturbance should take
place ON the Goth or near enough to that
date to seem like the fuliillment OF his pre-
diction, people will soon forget the
failure OF his prophecy and be ready
as ever to listen to him again. 1t may be,
however, perhaps asked whether there is
not some reason for regarding the 29th OF
September as q day of danger. Even Wig

this year than in any September OF the
coming century. On the contrary, he argues
that there has already b,en one great

that the imprisoned forces OF the earth

many years and possibly for centuries.

Schwatka's s exploring party was found at
Yakula and all the members were well.
They were able to ascend Mount St. Elias
only 1900 feet and the most experienced
OF the party considered it impossible to
reach the top. Commander Nichols says a
special Grand Jury has been sitting the
past week and attempts were made to pro-
cure indictments against the ringleaders oi
the Chinese trouble at Juneau, but no evil
dence could be obtained and no indict-
ments were found. The Captain and Mas.
ter OF the remaining English schooner were
tried for the illegal taking OF seal in Behring
Sea. They were found guilty and sentenced
to short imprisonments. All four vessels
have been libeled. Captain Nichols thinks
appaals will be taken from all these judg.
ments.

Manning will not take his place at the head
OF the Treasury Department on the first OF

ought to know that he will be found at his
desk as soon as reasonably cool weather
sets in. His physicians advised him not to
return to Washington while there is pos

advice. When he does return to his Office
it is certain Manning will not undertake to
work as hard as in the past. He will be re-

that demands upon his strength will not be
SO great as formerly.
