Died.


Edward Rice, youngest son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. j. Leaning, of this city, died
Sunday, Jan. II, Of pneumonia. 'sDeath
loves shining mark, - and surely the pale
messenger did select one when he laid his
icy hand on the subject of this notice.
Two years and eleven days had swiftly
passed since he came to gladden. the house
hold Of those whose hearts are now we'll
nigh breaking. He possessed to remark
able degree all those charms Of actio.
which carried him i4resistibly to the hearts
Of those who knew him. He was just
shaping his first syllables Of household
talk, and these, with the grace and sweet
ness of his disposition, made his presence
a joy as they now make his death a crush
ing bereavement.
For three long weeks he battled against
disease, and the patience and manliness he
displayed through it all told of the supe-
rior character of the little boy who was
contending SO bravely for lite. The fun
eral took place Monday afternoon at three
O'Clock.

Boston Wool Market.

There has been no change in quotations
of Montana wool for several weeks past
20@23 for fine and 21@26 for medium.
These quotations are apparently nominal,
as it is well known that the supply of
medium wool was about exhausted several
weeks agos The market continues strong
for all grades-of wool. There is great in
difference on the part f many dealers to
sell at present prices, and strong conti-
dence that prices will go higher before
they will b, lower. The tone is really
stronger at the beginning OF this year than
it has been for fully ten years, for with
the new year manufacturers are generally
out of the market to a great extent, and
take no great interest much be ore Febru-
ary, when they are at work upon heavy
goods. The fact that these heavy goods
promise to bring an advance TO correspond
with the increased cost of wool has more
influence upon the market than anything
else. The feeling is bullish and many lots
of wool have been marked up.

The Republicans and the President.

WASHINGTON, January l5.-The repub-
liean Senators met in causus at halfpast
ten this morning and adjourned at half
past one. Their purpose was to compare
views with regard to the right of the SEN
ate to information as to the presidents
reasons for making removals from office.
The fact was stated that many of the in
quiries addressed to the heads of depart
ments by the chairmen of committees re-
main unanswered, but up to this time in
dicate no purpose to refuse to give this in
formation. No formal proposition was
made and no action was taken. While a
wide variety of opinions found expression
with regard to the propriety of raising
formal issue with the administration at
present upon this question, the majority
were of the opinion that should the in
formation sought not ultimately be forth
coming, the republicans will, in justice to
the men who have been removed and sus-
pended for supposed cause, be required to
take some formal action in the senate to
secure the information Or an avoWal by
the president that he will not give his rea-
sons for making removals. There was
unanimous concurrence in the opinion
that the removed officials have right to
know whether they were removed for po-
litical reasons or maladministration of
their trusts, and that it is the senator's
duty to secure the information if possible.

Rule Resclnded.

TNRoNTo, January ia special to
the Globe from London says: The privy
council has agreed to rescind the new rule
in relation to the lanling of live cattle
in the United Kingdom. The regulation
was that no cattle could be landed alive
from a vessel which had touched at
scheduled port within thirty days. Var
ious representations have been made to
the authorities here, and the first Cana
dian cargo coming within the operation of
the rule was treated exceptionally, and
cattle were allowed to be landed.

RAILROAD TO RIMINI.
If Properly Encouraged the Proposed
Branch Will be Built

Substantial and lasting benefits will IS
sue by the construction of the proposed
railway to connect the Ten Mile and Red
Mountain mining districts with the North
ern Pacific trunk line at Helena. Those
at the head of and promoting the enter-
prise should receive every possible en-
couragement to commence and prosecute
the undertaking TO completion. Not less
interested than the communities 1T either
end of the proposed branch are the inter-
mediate residents along the route of sur
vey, and it is hoped that no distractions
will present in the matter Of right of way.
We presume ne impeachment OF the kind
owner through whose lands the line, il
built, will run will grant free entrance 60
and passage throagh their property. The
feeling. SO far rs we can ascertain, seems
TO be entirely friendly to the project, and
the advantages to farmers and residents
generally along Ten Mile of railway priv
efybody interested give such assistance
and welcome TO the enterprise that is ex-
pected there is little doubt that the pro-
posed line will be built and put ia opera
ton the present year. Let one and all
give the project their hearty conntenance
and best encouragement Herald.

New YoRK, January 13.-The Post
says the situation in regard to the cut in

unchanged, and that the Baltimore &
Ohio is carrying large number of pas

considerable difficulty in procuring Penn

this city and Baltimore. Already ticket
agents of that line have received orders
not to sell more than one ticket at a time

"A. Plea for the Old-Timer.
FoRT BENTON, January 20, 1888

Fort BENTON, January 20, 1886.
Editor OF the River Press:
1 noticed an item in the RIVER Press
yesterday in which pilgrim is credited
with saying that ''it made him tired to
hear old-timers talk of sufferings, years
back" etc. Pilgrim must indeed be a
tenderfoot. There is no question but suf-
tering was intense among the old-timers
IL the palmy days Of the fur trade, and it
is not to be wondered at that they speak
with pardonable pride of their dangers.
mishaps, etc., and a happy issue from it
all. During a residence of many wears in
Fort Benton | have had an opportunity of
becoming acquainted with many of the
old-timers who braved tempest, storm.
and dangers from Indians, and it has not
been my fortune to find them boastful.
They rarely speak of these matters, unless
drawn out, and then speak Of it modestly.
lt would no doubt surprise the pilgrim If
ne was told that parties had subsisted for
days on poisoned wolf, while i'll pursuit Of
their ay6cation Of wolfing; that intense
cold had kept them beneath their blankets
for two and three nights, while water and
wood we're far distant, and Indians were
liable at any time to pounce down upon
them. 1t is true that it affords an old
timer much amusement TO stuff pilgrim
with improbable stories, but as rule they
are more credulous than our pilgrim APP
pears to be. For myself have great re-
spect for these men Whorsvere s.the ad-
vance guard OF civilization, and who,
unalded, have made the country habtable
for the pilgrim Of io-tlav. Does the nil
