A Chicago Scandal.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-For some time past
rumors of disagreeable nature have
been disturbing the minds of the congre-
cation of the Ida Street Methodist Epis-
copal church, and they have at last cul-
minated in scandal that has caused I'M
precedented excitement among that quiet
and religious community The alleged
culprit is the Rev. j. P. Brushingham,
pastor of the above named church. He
was arrested last evening on a warrant
charging him with illegitimate parent
age, sworn out by Miss Eva Parker, a
young lady of eighteen who has recently y
become mother The lawyer charges
that the whole thing is an attempt at
black mail Mr. Brushingham gave
bonds in the sum of $500 for his appear
ance in the criminal court. He will also
have a church trial, which will take place
soon, and in the meantime will suspend
his labors as pastor.

Presidential Straws.

New YORK, February 3.-Those who
know what is going on in democratic
state politics say that Cleveland's chances
of securing the delegation from New
York to the democratic national conven-
ton are growing less as the weeks roll on.
Good judges say that the opposition 70
Cleveland is now more intense and better
organized than it was four years ago.
Hills friends here make no secret of the
fact that he is a candidate for the presi-
dental nomination. He has the support
of the Tammany leaders and the nomina-
ton of eS-mayor Cooper, or Mayor HeW-
lit, as vice president might bring the sup
port Of the county democracy, which fac
ton the president has been taking such
good care of.
ex-governor Watson G. Squire, OF
Washington territory, at present stopping
at the Hoffman, says that there is
remarkable strong sentiment in the fal
west in favor of Phil Sheridan as the
republican nominee for president. For
ali that, though, he believes that the next
campaign will be in its most essential
feature repetition of the last. Cleveland
and Blaine head the tickets.

Manitoba Aroused.

ST. PAUL, February 3.-The Winnipeg
correspondent of the Pioneer Press tele-
graphs that perfect storm Of indignation
has been created among the independent
members of the conservative party over
the proposition for compromise with the
dominion government, and the Canadian
Pacific outlined in the conservative meet
ing at Brandon. The proposition con-
demns the selection of Norquay as con-
servative leader, and declares that all
agitation for the completion Of the Red
River Valley railroad should be aban-
doned if the Canadian Pacific makes GER
tain concessions; among them, that its
monopoly shall be abandoned in 1891
]. B McKilligan, one of the most promi-
nent conservatives sends in his resigna-
ton as a member of the Conservative
association, and says: "It agitation is
necessary to accomplish our ends, it will
be the Dominion government that is te
blame for consequences"
The correspondent declares his belief
that Manitoba is on the eve of an agita
ton far greater than any previous.

A saucy Sea Dog---Henry
Georges Sacrifice.

BERLIN, Febl uary 5.-The European
journals recently printed the Austro-Ger-
man treaty. In official and diplomatic
circles this is regarded as an attempt to
force the czar to Immediate war Or COM
pei him to submit to terms for perma-
nent peace dictated by the allies. The
substance of the treaty has long been
known to both the Russian and French
governments. At the time of its incep-
ton at the conference between prince
Bismarck and Andrassy at Gastien in
August, 1879, confidential disclosures
stating the character of the compact were
made by prince Bismarck to the car as
an inducement to break off the negotia-
tions for a Russo-French alliance. Ii
Russia continues to arm and push for
ward masses of troops, menacing points on
the frontiers, and if the pending negotia-
tions for an offensive and defensive alli-
ance with France should succeed, the
central powers will not wait the conven-
ience of the French and Russia govern
ments to declare war.

states of north and south Dakota possess
in an eminent dgree the conditions requi-
site to entitle them to admission to the
sisterhood of states. All persons will
agree, he said, that the treatment received
by the territory from the hands OF con
gress regarding this matter of statehood,
is without parallel in the eountry's his
tory in its neglect and injustice. He held
that an excellent reason for the division,
and admission of two parts of the terri
tory as distinct states was that the fune-
tions of the government could be better
exercised by two states of medium size
than would be the case if the territory in
its large and unwieldy condition was
admitted as a whole.

Home and Foreign Woods.

BosToN, February 4.-The Boston
Commercial Bulletin has collected from
woolgrowers in all parts Of the country
statistics showing the cost to growers OF
raising pound of American wool. In
summing up the result the Bulletin will
say tomorrow editorially: American
fine wool costs the grower without his
own profit or freight to mill, from one to
five cents more secured per pound,
according to grade, than the correspond
ing grade Of free foreign wool would
cost the American manufacturer at the
mill. American medium wool, similarly
costs the grower from one to three cents
more secured than the foreign imported
woods cost the manufacturer. The pre-
diction is made that the removal of the
duty on combing or clothing wools would
destroy the raising of Merino wool in this
country. But in the states and in Canada
today sheep might be grown not for wool
but for mutton. As Merino sheep do not
make good mutton, Southdown or Cots
void sheep, which do make good mutton
would take their place.

REALTY IN DEMAND.
Prospects of Busy Building Season in
the Coming Spring.

As the spring approaches, the demand
for real estate is increasing and property
is held at firm prices without much dis
position on the part of owners to sell.
The suggestions regarding building
association are received favorably and
one may be founded soon. The steady
progress of the preparations for the re-
duction works inspires confidence among
property owners and miners. Within
short time, the site has been definitely
located. all the brick in the market has
been bought, and arrangements have been
made tor the lumber. The construction
of boarding houses for the men will be
commenced Immediately and the railroad
track will be extended so as to carry ore
and coal direct to the reduction works,
which will have a daily capacity of 200
tons.
The following sales have been made
by the townsite company since the first
Of the month. A lot has been sold to
each of the following persons at the
prices appended: Walter D. Westcott,
81 900; Hotter Lumber company, 1,100;
Mary D. Higgins, $1,000; S. c. Ashley,
$4,000; John Ellis, $500; Thomas Jones,
5000; F. H. Meyer, s., 100; F. Angermier,
ST 1000; Peter Michels, $400; John G.
Crowley, two lots, $500.
Most of these lots have been bought for
immediate improvement. Building will
proceed briskly as soon as the frost is out
of the ground and perhaps sooner.
Workmen are already busy On the Hoteh-
kiss g. Hawkins block. The demand for
building material will be large. The
construction of the permanent depot and
the other terminal buildings of the Man
itoba and Montana Central railroads will
employ many workmen and will also
consume much building material.
At present every house on Central
avenue is occupied. This speaks strongly
| for the growth of the city, as some blocks
were built there TO meet the future de-
mand for large stores rather than the
present business needs. In like manner
are residences, small or large, in request.
Dwellings are picked up readily at rents
| which pay 25 per cent. and over on the
| investment. Persons who intend to
build houses should prepare promptly in
order to be in advance of the rush which
/ will set it.

The woodville Tunnel Completed.

BUTTE, February 4.-Daylight was let
through the range at Woodville at 6
o'clock yesterday morning. The contrac-
tors have been nine months building it.
Work was done by hand entirely. The
contractors bored 24415S feet last month,
which is the best months record without
the use of power drills. Mr.. Ray, the
engineer in charge, says all that remains
to be done before tracklaying on all the
road this side of the Wickes tunnel, is to
ballast the grade and build a few trestles
The latter are nearly built. The longest
one is TAO feet, and the highest 80 feet
Tracklaying will be commenced April 1
and the first Montana Central train will

Flocks and Herds Well.

HELENA, FEBRUARY 4.-Colonel Wall who
is IN from the Judith country, reports the
winter in that section pretty much the
same as elsewhere in Montana. The cold
weather and snow were formidable while
they lasted, but the chinook had BAN
ished both, and lifted the embargo on
herds. Stock losses so far would not foot
up to the usual winters average, and
focks and herds were in good condition.
BY travelling over the Montana Central

two days from Helena, it being only 60
miles of stage ride from Great Falls.

A Saucy Sea Dog.

OTTAWA, February Admiral Hen
age, who has assumed command of the
British fleet in the Pacific, has in his re-
port to the British government drawn
attention to the inefflciency and weak
ness of the squadron on the Pacific coast.
When here the admiral said that if he
had been in command of the station
when several Canadian schooners were
seized by the United States revenue cut
ter Corwin last year he would have given
the Yankee cruiser a sample of what
British justice was. The admiral is said
to be hot headed old sailor, and ii
would surprise no one here to learn that
he had got Great Britain into some sort Of
sauabble before the summer is over.

believe that they realize the necessity and
appreciate the value Of churches in their

The Methodist Episcopal church of
Great Falls is cooperative branch of the
saviour's kingdom, gladly working har-
moniously with all agencies having good
moral aims, and in community so anx-
ious to develop along the highest lines of
commercial, social and moral prosperity,
we feel sure of continued sympathy and
support. Having been in the work of the
ministry in the Rocky mountains since
1872, and identified with the growth OF
our marvellous country continuously
since, feel convinced that no section of
the northwest has greater reasons to con-
gratulate itself on the outlook of its
church work as we'll as its social and
commercial prosperity, than our own
Great Falls. Northern Montana has
advantages greatly superior to many sec
tions in all the elements that make up
great country, and from the character Of
the people who pioneered the way, and
those now coming, look for an era of
social, commercial and religious develop
ment unparalleled in the history of the
territory.
intellectually, Montana has been
awarded by official statistics Of the United
States, the highest place of any state or

hope when the next census is taken that
her moral and religious character will
stand as high. F. A. RIGGIN, A. III.

Decline in Sugar.

SAN Francisco, February 4. - Raw
sugar has declined in price to 515 cents
per pound, and the cause of the reduction
is said that surplus is expected on the
coast during the coming year. Much
sugar is being imported from Manila
and Central America to compete with the
Hawaiian trade. 1t is thought the re-
fineries of this city will have surplus of
$4,000 to 10000 tons, which will probably
be sent to New York in its raw state.

Then he came forward and informed the
Judge that friend of his was about to
marry and he wanted to know what par

Rolfe, divining correctly that the young
man sought the license for himself, said:
IF the girl you are about to marry is I'M
der age, that is, minor, the consent OF
her parents or guardian must be obtained.
This consent must be ia documentary
form and be witnessed by at least one
person. If the girl is under sixteen, you
and she will have to wait till she attains
that age. / will need the CHRISTIAN and sur
names of your parents and those OF your
bride. | will also require the age, resi-
dence and place of birth of you both and
statement as to whether either Of you
were married previously. All this
should be accompanied by fee of So.
Then any district or probate judge, JUS
tice or minister can legally marry you,
but whoever does SO must return the
license to me within three months or be
liable to a fine. Let me give you
blank
The young man took in all these in
