SAINT Louis, December 31.-A special
dispatch from Saint Frances, Arkansas,
says: William Herrig, a wealthy planter,
has for some time past been jealous of
attentions paid his wife by William Mat
thewson, and forbade him to come to the
house. On Tuesday Matthewson called
and invited Mrs. Herrig to take a drive.
While the woman wes getting ready
Herrig shot and killed Matthewson, and
then forced his wife to drive to Matthew
sons house with the dead body On her
return she found her home in flames,
and was shot and killed by her husband.
Herrig then fed. Mrs. Herrig was form
erly an actress in Pauline Markham's
company, and later was in w. H. Lyle's

A Creditab1e Showing.

The growth of insurance business is
one OF the best tests of business prosper
ity. In this respect Great Falls makes a
splendid showing. The insurance
agency OF Taylor & Gibson find on sum-
ming up the years business that they
have insured property to the amount of
100000: while last year the risks
amounted to only $4,000 This increase
is largely due to the growth of the CITY.
but it is also due to the good manage
ment of Phil Gibson, who represents
nine leading companies, and conducts
business promptly and satisfactorily. He
exercises good judgment in taking risks.
and enforces strict compliance with the
customary conditions and precautions.
As the result the entire fire losses since
the town was founded about two years
ago, amount only to thirteen hundred
and fifty dollars (S1, ,350)
This security from fire may be attrib-
uted in part TO the solid brick or stone
buildings which warrant merchants and
householders in carrying less insurance
than is common elsewhere.
The companies represented by Taylor
d Gibson are all strong corporations.
They include the Commercial of London:
Hartford of Hartford, Connecticut; North
British and Mercantile, of Edinburg;
Home and Phoenix, of New York and
Hartford; Niagara of New York; Liver
pool and London and Globe of Liver
pool; California of San Francisco, and
the Commercial of California. During |
the coming year the firm expect to in
crease largely the business in their in
surance department, which is carried on |
IN counting house that excels all others
IN asthetic taste.

Reduction Works,

Without going into details, the Tribune
can announce to its readers that all ar
rangements are now completed for the
establishment at Great Falls, at once. OF
the most extensive and important reduc.
ton works in the United States. The
company has been organized and all ar
rangements, down to the smallest details
made. The stockholders in this great en-.
terprise number some of the most emf
nent and wealthy men in the country, in
Guiding as we'll a number of practical
mining and smelling men of the west.
The works are to be on a gigantic scale,
and with the tremendous water power of
the Black Eagle falls as motor, the best
smelling coal in the Rocky mountains
within Is miles and every desirable class
of ore and f1ux convenient, can there be
eAio 1Sdoe poeSlU1e uOuUU O1 Tie success OF
the enterprise?
We have good grounds for saying
that the work of preparation and CON
struction will begin in short time, and
this taken in connection with the inn
provement of the water power at the
Black Eagle falls will at once give en-
ployment to hundreds it not thousands
OF men. No undertaking of such magni-
tude, taken in connection with all its
has ever been inaugurated
in the mountain region, and it is needless
to say that it means unprecedented
growth and prosperity for Great Falls.

WOOLGROWERS!
AN APPEAL FOR UNITED ACTION
AGAINST A LOW TARIFF.
President De1ano Deems Urgent Action
Neutrality-suspicious. and Reso-
1utions Work for
Woo1growers.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 3O.-The
following appeal has been issued:
| VERNON, Ohio, December 25, 1ss7.-Tt
| the Woolgroners Of tie United States: The
sentiment favoring free trade in this coun
| try has been augmented to the extent Oh
| the presidents influence. In announcine
his sympathy with those who do not en-.
courage American industries and domes-
tic labor, the executive has signified his
| contempt for your industry by proposing
the repeal of all duties on imported wools
You number about 100000 voters, and
give employment to as many more. Ey-
cry state aud nearly every county in each
state OF the Union has focks and flock
masters. Your t1ocks generally are small.
your wealth limited and your locations SO
scattered as to render organization and
united action difficult.
Once the producers of 3n0,O0O.0OO of
pounds Of wool annually, valued at about
10O,o00,00O, you have seen the unfriendly
legislation of 1883 check yonr growth and
actually reduce your f1ocks in number
and your annual clip in quantity to the
extent of Is per cent. These results fol-
lowed small reduction of the protective
duties. Now the president proposes their
abolition so that South America and Aus
tralia with other foreign nations can sup
ply the consumption of the United States
spindles and looms. The officers of our
our national society desire to organize a
resistance to this cruel attempt in order to
secure its defeat by active consolidated
resistance.
| advise that you petition Congress
freely from all parts of the country, send
letters to congressman from every dis
triet, have each association of wool grow
ers, state, county, township or town, pass
and forward appropriate resolutions,
incite the grangers or associations of hus-
bandmen to unite their voices with yours
in urging congress to promote the well
fare of agriculture like enfranchised
freemen, ready to obtain justice and
avoid oppression by making those in
authority understand their wants. If
you have not large or consolidated wealth
you have votes Exercise wisely the
power which this privilege gives. The
founders of our republic placed it in the
hands of its people to correct the errors
of those who make or administer our
laws without insurrection or violence.
The executive has been misinformed.
Remove the deception, and let him and
the nation know that you will not sub
nit to the proposed injustice without
struggle. C. DELANo.

A Cheese.Eating Dor.

There is dog living on the West
Side, says the Buffalo Courier, that
has recently developed the strangest
appetite that ever excited a canine bal.
ate. The other day dozen cream
cheeses were bought, and when they
came they were set on shelf in the
laundry. the weather being so cold that
1T was not necessary to put them in the
refrigerator. A few hours later, when
it came time to place the cheeses on
the table, they were nowhere to he
found. The dog had don't task me any
questions expression on his face, and it
was believed he had stolen them. Still,
as they were wrapped in tin foil, il did
not seem as though the dog could have
relished them, and, besides, the cook
vowed that she had not seen the dog
near them, and that il he had attempted
to steal them he would have attracted
attention. The disappearance of the
cheeses remained mystery for quite
two weeks, when the mistress OF the
house was one afternoon attracted to
the yard by the barking of the dog and
on going to the door she saw the dog
pull out from under pile of rubbish
one OF the missed cheeses. He then
carefully unrolled the foil with his
paws, and devoured the contents with
undisguised gusto. The remarkable
part of it was that the dog had had
sufficient sagacity to store the cheeses
and partake of one of them each day,
instead Of disposing OF the entire num-
Der at one sitting, as most dogs and
probably all children would do. His
love for cheese is accounted for by the
fact that his grandparents Tor one Of
them were English bulldogs.
