The Salvation Army.

Last evening the Salvation Arnly-forty
strong, headed by brass band-paraded
J and X streets. The singing of the men
and women, the rattle of the tambourines,
the music Of the brass instruments, and
the beating of the drums attracted the at
.ention OF everyone, and both sides of the
streets were lined with spectators, five hun
dred of whom followed them to the United
Brethren Church, Fourteenth and K
streets, where religious services were held.
Ordinarily the parade of the army in this
city consists of three men, three women and
two children, while their musical instru-
ments are cornet, bass drum and two
tambonrines. The accession to their ranks
comes from Stockton, Oakland and San
Francisco, and this is what they call their
summer campaign. They all wear the
regulation suits, the army badges, and
march with military precision. Among
the new corners are some good exhorters.
and there is no lack of enthusiasm at their
meetings. The street parades and services
at The Fourteenth street Church will con-
tinue throughout the week They go to
Woodland next week.

A Colusa Man Steered Against a Brace
Game and Robbed.
VIM. Quarles, of Colusa county, COM
planned to Chief of Police Lee yesterday
morning that he had been steered against a
" brace faro game and robbed of S12O on
Monday night. His story is that he arrived
at the depot on that evening, and was met
by friend named JEFF. Morrison, who was
expecting him and was there to meet him.
His friend introduced him to Leonard
Sledge, and the three walked up Second
street to Arthur Miller's saloon, on the cor
ner OF Second and ]. Here they took sew
eral drinks, and finally Quarles said he
wanted to get something to eat, as he did
not dare to drink anything more without
eating. Sledge said E: =" Let IS go and play
little faro first, and we will win a good
supper" Quarles was persuaded, and they
went upstairs TO room where there was q
faro "lay out" The dealer and case
keeper were the only persons in the room
when they entered. Sledge and Quarles
commenced playing, and it took Just two
deals to relieve the latter of $120-about all
the money he had. He says he did not
win one straight bet, but did "call the
turn" once at the end of the first deal,
Sledge and Morrison were arrested bv
officer Agner yesterday morning for con-
spring, but Quarles was unable to tell
who the dealer and case-keeper were.
He gave the best description of them he
could.
Sledge fatty denies all knowledge of the
game, or any of the circumstances related
by Quarles. Morrison, however, corrobo-
rates all of the statements made by the
Colusa man, but disclaims any knowledge
OF the game, or that he was at all instru-
mental in steering" him to it. He adj
mitted to the Chief, however, that Sledge
gave him $40 after the game was over.
Sledge and Morrison were both charged
with conspiring. When their cases were
called in the Police Court they were con-
tinued until to-day at 10 o'clock.

Chinese Incendiary.

S. L. Goddard, of Florin, has had
Chinaman named All See in his employ for
four or FIVE years, who has been consid-
cred half crazy but harmless. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Goddard came to town, and
soon after he left his place his packing
house was discovered to be on fire. Parties
who ran towards the building saw the
Chinaman standing near it with bottle in
his hand. He waited until they had nearly
reached him, when he ran off towards the
Sacramento river, bareheaded and across
the fields. The building burned so rapidly
that it is believed the Chinaman had scat
tered kerosene oil over it and set it on fire.
The packing house was completely de.
stroyed, entailed loss of several hundred
dollars

A Midnight Fire.

About five minutes past II an alarm of
fire was sounded from box 63. The de-
partment responded promptly, and found
the fire to be in a small brick house at
Front and o streets, one door south
OF Messrs. Bassett & Minford's large
planning mill. The whole interior
of the building was ablaze when
the department arrived, and the
porch and sidewalk were on fire. All
that saved the mill was its corrugated iron
roof and sides. Both engines were promptly
upon the ground, aud soon two streams
were playing on the fire, and it was checked
almost instantly. The building faced the
railroad track, and the c. P. yard engine
was there to render assistance # necessary,
but it was not needed. The
building was badly damaged inside,
the partitions being burned out. The
loss OF furniture could not be much, as the
place was bagnio which was KEEP. by the
notorious Mrs. Anderson, who kept that
"robber's roost" for awhile at Fourth and

The Cottony Cushion Scale.

The cottony cushion scale, one of the
most destructive of insect pests, is said to
be found in number of the yards in this
city, and in some cases they have become
so numerous that trees and shrubbery will
have to be cut down in order to destroy
them. F. A. Ebel, the well-known florist,
says the trees are badly infected, especially
orange and lemon. At the southeast cor
ner of Eighth and G streets, On the north
side of H, between Tenth and Eleventh,
and on both sides of H, from Twelfth to
Thirteenth. He says he has no doubt but
that an inspection of the citrus trees
throughout the city will find this dangerous
pest widespread. The City Trustees should
do something to stop its ravages before it
gets beyond control.

gTIs NOT SO MUCH THE PATTERN

1T is NOT SO MUCH THE PATTERN
or even the style that makes suit of clothes
becoming TO the person wearing it, but the fit
of the garment. This fact has long been appre-
ciated by us. We we'll know that the majority
of people who buy ready made clothing expect
to be fitted as properly as if they had had their
measures taken and the clothing cut by expert
men. To this class of trade we say that we keep
a corps of tailors employed, whose business it
is to alter the garments so as to fit properly.
Our instructions are that all work must be care
fully done and neatly finished The intending
purchaser of clothing in our house can thus
feel that what they buy will be properly fitted,
and without extra charge to them.
Among the goods that came to hand the
other day was line of Mems Dark Brown
Sack Suits, in patterns somewhat shotted with
red dots design that will suit the generality
of trade, being neither too quiet or pronounced.

have, medium i'll weight, are well worth the at

Au Revoir.

Mr.. F. M. Wilson, who has for the past
three days been enjoying a recreation
from the confining labors incident to
newspaper work, is preparing to take the
first train for Helena, and from thence
will go direct to Nevada creek on the
''west side' of the range, whore he is
largely interested in the live stock and
dairy business. During his residence in
Fort Benton Mr. Wilson has made many
warm friends who will deeply regret his
departure. Heis identified with the in
terests of our city, being the owner of a
nice block of real estate which he prizes
highly. We hope some day to state that
he has taken up his permanent residence
here. For the present we can only say:
"Adios; may good luck attend you"

From Mr.. E. Van Norman, of Toronto,
Canada, whe is direct From ST. Paul and
reached Fort Benton by the west-bound
o'clock train Monday morning, we gath
cred the following information: Il left
ST. Paul. said the gentleman, "last Thurs
day and have been three days upon the
road. We were delayed in some places by
small Washouts Sunday we were delayed
| twelve hours awaiting the completion of
bridge about 25 or 80 miles east of Fort
Belknap, which was finished on Sunday
morning at late hour and there only re-
mains now one gap of about one hundred
yards to be completed before trains can
run through This gap is also east of
Belknap, but don't remember the number
of the crossing. Sufficient force is at
work to complete the job easily in one
day, and it was at this place that the
transfer was made was informed that
another passenger was Immediately fol
, lowing us, which we presume will meet
the east bound train of last night at the
Washout, and which will be the last trans
fer made The track is now clear of wa
ter and see no reason why freight and
passenger trains should not run on time.

Edison on the Labor Question.

Thomas Edison, the electrician, when
asked by newspaper interviewer what
he thought of the Keely motor, replied:
IT have never seen it, so have no opin-
ion about it. But all the results he is
said to have obtained can be got fror<
compressed air. All the air in this room
can be condensed into liquid that could
be carried in flbert shell, and it's explo-
sive force would be tremendous. Skill
fully released and reconstructed, it would
move great machine" In reply to the
question:, ''When motive power gets to be
four times as cheap as it is, Mr.. Edison,
what will become of the laboring MANI"
He will be enriched by it. Machinery
will be his slave. See how machinery has
multiplied in the last fifty years. AS a
direct result, wlrkingmen get double the
wages they did then, and the necessities
of life cost only half as much In other
words hand worker can to-day buy four
times as much with ten hours of work as
his father could fifty years ago. For the
first time in the worlds history skilled
mechanic can buy barrel Of -four with q
single days work. The machinery in the
United States represents the labor Of
1,OO0,0o0,0oo men, or fifty times as much
labor as that of all the men in the conn-
try.
.When motive power is still further
cheapened say in another generation I
believe that the unskllled laborer, il sober
and industrious, can have house Of his
own and horse and carriage and q
library and 3 piano. It is terrible stu
pidity that leads some laboring men to
suppose that machinery is their foe. It is
the thing that gives them independence

HAYSEED IN HIS HAIR.
But no Slouch of Sprinter as Some Stock
men Found.

Chicago Times: Mr.. Owens had hay
seed in his hair He looked as though he
had blown into town on load of garden
truck And when he said he could run
faster than any man at the stock yards a
scornful laugh went up that ripped every
canvassed- back ham in the packing house.
Out at the yards there is a young man
named Charles Cody. He is sprint-run-
ner and no mistake. There is tradition
in the town of Lake that he has wings.
Mr.. Owens has no wings at all, and it is
cold day when a man who has no wings at
all gets left. Mr. Owens heard that Mr..
Cody had run hundred yards in 1015
seconds and
HE COMBED THISTLEBLOOM
out of his whlskers with his knotted hands
and said: "I'll jest run that air feller, by
gum an sasafras, I will" Mr.. Cody was
willing, and last Tuesday match was
made for race of 100 yards for 500 a
side It was run off Wednesday on a
planked alley about 4 o'clock, and 1000
people turned out to witness it. No bust
ness was transacted at the yards Every
body quit work and everybody marched
to the track with iron plunks to wager on
Cody The friends of the Nebraska man,
who came in on the same load of hay, or
rather cattle-for Mr.. Owens deals in
steers were there before them. They
also had e
ss SOME HARD MONEY
and they bet it on Mr.. Owens, taking the
short end Of ten to eight, which was reck
lessly offered by the confident stock yards
people, who thought they had a sure
thing and that Mr.. Cody would move
away from theNebraska agriculturist that
Mr.. Owens would think he was going the
other way Mr.. Owens was guyed freely,
and the crowd laughed when in prepar
ing for the run Mr.. Owens removed a corn
husker from one pocket and carefully laid
it in another.
Mr.. Owens, he laid low. There was
over 81, 900 up on the race when
THE MEN JUMPED OUT
at the firing Of pistol. The stock yards
people grinned when they started, but be
fore the sprinters had gone a dozen
yards an expression of deep gloom spread
over the faces of that crowd. The Ne
braska mans big feet few through the
air as if they intended to say farewell to
his legs and move to Iowa, and when the
goal was reached Mr.. Cody was SO far in
the rear that he couldn't see the hoosier
with telescope. In other respects he
was doing quite well. The street cars at
the stock yards were not extensively
patronized that evening

An Old Timer.

The Board of Trade is in receipt of
letter from an early navigator, Mr.. James
Harkness, of St. Louis, who was of the
firm of Labarge, Harkness & Co, who ran
a line of steamers on the Missouri river to
Benton as early as 1862. The names of
their boats were the Shreveport and Emile.
Among other interesting items he men
tions Mr.. Thomas Cruise as one of his pas
sengers to Benton in 1862, and that Mar
garet Park at Great Falls was called after
his daughter, who was the first white
woman who ever visited these wonders of
the Missouri. Mr.. Harkness expresses
vivid recollection of many of the old
timers Of Montana, and among his inti-
mate friends were Col. w. F. Sanders and
Hon. Granville Stuart Herald.
