Met a Bear in the Snow.

Mr. Miller, VanDykc's partner, walked
in from the Springs by the way of Robin
son, with two other men during last
month, says the Castle News. They got
lost not far from Robinson and lay out
over nj ght with but little covering, and
Miller froze his feet badly. In the morning
they started in the direction of the sound
of wood chopper, and while floundering
around in the snow, which was nearly to
their arm-plts, they saw monster clnna-
mon bear approaching them. None OF
them were armed, and as the old bear
didn't show any inclination to vary his
course they had to turn back and take
round. about way to the wood choppers
cabin.

A Yery HOmely Little Beast.

New York Dispatch: A dromedary
was born in the BarnumBailey men
agerie early this morning. 1t is the ug-
liest thing in the world. 1t seems to be
pretty much all legs, and the legs are
such ill-shapcd, big-jointed, uncontrol-
liable things, and the body is so redicu-
lously small and the neck so long that
the little beast seems to be big in the
wrong place and badly put together all
over. But it is pert, for it stood up and
stared around with wide-open eyes be-
fore it was an hour old. It is not easy
to read the female dromedarie's emo
tions by the expression Of her counten-
ance, but the mother looks good deal
as if she was ashamed of tt, which is
not to be wondered at if she has any re-
gard for style.

feet. 1t is supposed that the iron, by
catching, knocked him off the cage.
The physicians OF Helena are on the
warpatl,, ON account of some remarks
which Rev. Kelsey, the pastor OF the
Congregational church in that city made
at the funeral obsequies of the late
DR.. Eckles, which took place last Monday.
The medical fraternity feel that insult
was thrust at them, and one of them ex-
pressed his opinion in very forcible lam
guage, considering it to be the greatest
piece of egotistical annoyance promul-
gated by prcsumptuous ignorance of medi-
cine, that could be imagined. No reason
for tue remarks made by the reverend gen
tleman is given, but it is presumed that
being believer in homeopathy, he took
advantage of the occasion to make his
views known and to give the physicians
present some pointers as to how they
ought to treat an invalid.
The bill to satisfy the agreement made
bv the northwestern Indian commission
with the Gros Ventres, Picgans, Bloods,
Blackfect and River Crows, has passed
the senate. For the purpose of carrying out
the terms of the agreement, $430,00c, to
he Immediately available, is appropriated
and an additional section to the bill as in
troduced provides: Lands to which the
right of the Indians is extinguished under
the foregoing agreement are part of the
public domain and are open to the opera
ton of the laws regulating homestead and
pre- -emption entries and to enter under
the laws governing the disposal Of coal
and mineral lands, but are not open to en-
try under any other laws regulating the
sale or disposal of the public domain.
An amendment having been made to this
bill looking to treaty for the removal Of
the southern Ute Indians from Colorado
a committee of conference was ordered,
and Senator Dawes, Daniel and Stock
bridge were appointed.

Smith administered on this property
and took it all. Alexander Smith had
a father, mother, brother and sisters liv-
ing besides Greenberry, who were en-
titled to a share of his estate. The COM
plainants in this case claim to be heirs
OF Greenbarry's parents, brothers and
sisters, and they allege that the estate
left by him has accrued from Alexsn-
der's property, and therefore they are
entitled to share of it. The citizens
of Benton would be glad to see the es-
tate divided, as the niggardly way in
which it has been handled has been q
drawback to the prosperity OF the
county.
Prescott Memorial.
With the general advancement in
science, art and and culture throughout
our noble country there has sprung up
desire on the part of oul ancient fam
illes-those whose ancestors were num-
bered among the Puritans-to trace out
their lineage and learn from whence
they emigrated; their motive for so
doing; where they landed on these
shores, and to become acquainted with
their characters; their struggles in ad-
versity and times Of prosperity. At no
period has there been SO much interest
manifested in genealogical records as
the present, and there is not city In
our broad republican country but what
numbers among its citizens men who,
were they in the land of their ancestors,
would be of titled rank. Among the
oldest families in America stand the
Prescotts, the first one having landed at
Boston, Mass, l65O At present hardly
a state or territory but what is the
home of some, and among the list of
governors, statesmen, authors and re-
nowned professional men, the name OF
Prescott is honorably recorded. About
twenty years ago genealogical memo
rial of this family was published, but
through the indifference or neglect of
several branches Of the family many
omissions and imperfections occurred.
Having been requested by numerous
members of the family to edit and pub
lish new memorial, embracing the
contents of the first, together with all
the recent changes (such as births, mar
riages, deaths, etc., Prof. F. Prescott
Bullock, of Assinaboine, NJ. T., has
agreed to undertake the work, provid-
ing hearty support and assistance will
be rendered him by the family.-Helena

Judge shipman, of the United States
court of New York, on the 28tli ult. dis
missed suit against the great Credit
Mobilier The suit was begun fourteen
years ago by Rowland Hazard and others,
Stockholders of the concern, against Sid

matter has since been pending IN the

The report of the coroner's jury in the
case of the explosion of the boiler Of the
steamer "Julia," at South Vallejo, CAL,
on Feb. 20, whereby the vessel was
wrecked and seventeen lives lost, finds
that the boiler was not sufficiently strong
to carry the amount of steam registered
and the United States inspector of boilers
was careless and negligent IN not making
the proper examination of the thickness OF
the boilers: it also condemns the use OF
petroleum as fuel, and says the fireman
on duty was not properly qualified to fire
with fluid.
The remains of a foully murdered Chi
naman were found IN lonely hut on the
banks of Bitter creek, near Rock Springs,
Wyoming, on March 21. The mans
throat has been cut from ear to ear, and
his face was frightfully mutilated. Teeth,
shreds of flesh, and pools of blood cover
cd the floor. The Chinaman was killed
for his money, as he was known to have
about 5000 in his possession. 1t is be-
lieved that the crime was committed 10y
Cinnamon. The deed bears the finger
marks Of Mongolian, and four of them
have been arrested on suspicion.
David N. White, cx editor of the Pitts

home in Swickly, Pennsylvania. "Dea-
con" White, as he was Familiarity known

to Pittsburgh and purchased the Gazette
He was an uncomron,ising opponent Of
slavery, and in 1866 published the call
for county convention to form new
party. The call had few signers, bu
when the convention met every district in
the county was represented by dul,
elected delegate. A strong ticket was
nominated, and from this sprung th'
great republican party. The following
year convention was held at Lafayette
hall In Pittsburgh and the national organ
ization formed.

That School Meeting.

Last evening a meeting was held by
R. Livingston at the public read
ing room for the purpose of stating
his position with reference to school mat
ters. He opened by declaring himself
native of several countries, but before he
ended his remarks the audience thought
he was a cross between blathersklte and
the latest improved wind mill. The bur-
den of his remarks were to the effect that
debts against the district had been de-
cided by eminent legal authority to be
invalid, or at least doubtful claims. lie
was humorous at times-so humorous that
the audience almost drowned his remarks
by applause. He was also dry, very dry,
and repeatedly ''took water" This does
not refer to any statements made by the
speaker.) No other candidate made
plea for public suffrage. as better judg-
mcnt indicated that the usual good sense
Of the electors would prevail without re-
sorting to objectionable Advertising"
The statements made by other speakers,
however, were sufficient refutation of his
charges. At the close of remarks made
bv parties conversant with the facts, a
motion was made to adjourn. "Trustec"
Livingston suggested that as the meeting
was one of his own manufacture it could
not be adjourned, but it adjourned ''all
same.''

The postmaster-general has trans
mitted to the house through the secre-
tary of the treasury revised estimates
of postal expenditures for the next tis-
cal wear. In the case of the item for
the hire of clerks in postofices, which
was originally set down at $5,65O,OOO,
ian increase of 100000 over the current
appropriation,) it has beer found neces-
sary to increase the estimation, to $5,-
$4,000, and adds special item of $780,
coo for unusual business. The original
estimate Of 100000, for rent, light and
fuel for postoffices, owing to the re-
classification of offices, has been in
creased to $3.50 900, and separate item
of 1925, 900, to provide for extraordinary
allowances. The estimate for free de-
livery service is increased 100000 to a
total of $6,OOO,OOO, to meet the immense
annual increase in the carriers work.
An increase of $25, GOO is made in the es-
t,mate for mail depretlations, and the
statement is made that the service was
self-supporting last year.

Butte Miner: The news that Judge
DeWolfe was yesterday assigned to the
second judicial district will be relieved
with satisfaction by all citizens OF the
district, particularly those who inter-
ested themselves in procuring his ap-
pointment. 1t was especially with the
object in view of having the beneht OF
his legal attainments in the important
class of cases that are more numerous
in this district than elsewhere in this
territory that his appointment was
songht. The fact that Judge DeWol1e
has won golden opinions from all
classes during his short term OF service
in the third district is the best evil
dence of his peculiar fitness for the du-
ties of the bench and the wise discrimi-
nation of those who proposed his ele-
walton to the bench.

The Rocky Fork.


In an interview with an Independent
reporter Col. Sam Word said that while
the company was at no time liable to the
laborers for grading said railway, and
While it was the obligation of the con-
tractor who had IN writing undertaken to
build, equip and finish the road, to pay
the laborers for this work, yet, when the
contractor failed to meet his obligation in
that regard, the railroad company did
pay the laborers and did pay for their
board while they we're waiting on the
contractor for their pay. In this connec-
ton desire to state, inasmuch as individ-
uals as we'll as newspapers have had much
to saw about it, that Dennis Ryan, as con-
tractor OF the Rocky Fork railway COM
pany, made a contract with one Enoch
Hodson for ties to construct said road, by
which he obligated himself to deliver 3O,-
600 in October, 10000 in November, S5,-
900 by December Is, and the balance OF
125, 900 by December 81. Mr.. Hodson
has never delivered tie under his con-
tract, though he has received on account
thereof $4,000 on his contract. 1t is a
matter yet to be settled between him and
Mr.. Ryan. have in my possession a
written contract dated August "a, 1887,
by which Mr.. Ryan, for consideration
therein named, agreed to construct, equip
and complete said railway by January 1,
! 1888. And l will say, further, that all
contracts made for grading, ties, timber,
etc.. on account of said road, were made
by the agent of Mr.. Ryan, fully autor,
lied by him to make the same; that Ryan
has failed to carry out his contract, and
our company is in no wise to blame
That others will soon undertake what
Ryan failed to accomplish is confidently
expected as the result of recent negotia-
tions. At no time has any one connected
with the Rocky Fork road, as laborer OF
otherwise, been a charge on Yellowstone
county.

AT 8 mass meeting held in the
courthouse last Monday night, il
was decided to lake steps at once to
organize a stock company TO start
canning factory. Il was agreed 10
incorporate the association, to raise
$4,000 TO put the factory in opera
ton, and the shares were put down
al s25 per share, allowing each one
70 take as many shares as be wishes.
1t is proposed to begin work as soon
as $4,000 can be raised. We trust
that the committee appointed for
that purpose will have no difficulty
IN raising the requisite amount.
This is az enterprise which should
be Literally subscribed to, and cheer
fully aided By our citizens. Ii is a
home enterprise in which we all
should feel deep and al abiding
interest because its object 10 TO
bUild up the town and the country
around. And it is philosophic
fact that We cannot build up the
town without st the same time,
building up ourselves. While We
are building up tue town We are cir
cuisting money, and enhancing the
value Of property. The canning fac
tory will furnish employment for 8
considerable number OF hands, who
will require provisions and clothing.
not only for themselves, bus also for
their families. 1t will require q
number OF timers who will also have
TO be fed and clothed. Il will cause
a number Of vegetable and fruit
growers 10 settle around the town
and they will need provisions
and clothing. All this will increase
the circulation Of money, and where
money eirculstes freely there is
prosperity. Let the project go for
ward, subscribe the necessary funds,
and build up the town. We hope
TO be able TO chronicle next week
that the necessary amount TO begin
work has been subscribed.

SOME Of our enterprisIng citizens
have q project on foot 10 organize a
fair association. Mr.. j. L. Shinn
proposes TO give very liberal lease
on 40 acres Of land near town for a
term OF ten years. a soliciting ecm-
mittee is already out and l25 shares
at $1,000 each have been taken.
Parties away from town and in other
towns have expressed = willingness
to aid the enterprise by taking
shares, and the project promises
certain success. Like our other en-
terprises we have only 10 stand by
1t to secure success. There is no
question but that fair properly
conducted, "a fair for the exhibition
OF products, would be conducive 10
the best interests Of the country. II
is another means Of developing and
improving the country. 1t stimu-
lates q generous emulation among
the people that causes them to put
forth their best efforts, and best
judgement to produce the best
things, best in quality aud quantity,
whether they be Of the farm, stock,
or genius. A fair also shows up a
country to the best advantage. It
enables the people to see what the
country is and what it can be made
with the proper care and attention.
BY united effort we can have g fair
that wall be credit to our county.
Wa hope the enterprise will meet
with abundant success.

TIE Mills tariff bill has had such
al effect on the political element Of
our nation that the Blair bill has
dwindled into iusignihcance. The
Mills bill is one Of much more in
portsnce, much more in accord with
American institutions, much more
conducive Of the nation 8 prosperity.
Il proposes 5 reduction Of the tariff
OF s45, 900, 900, annually; taxes will
be reduced that much. The tariff
effects every section, every industry,
and every individual in the United
States. The republicans are very
much excited and indignant over
the measure, and are mastering
their forces to defeat its passage
They have no argument 10 make
against it, no phiiosophlc ground on
which to oppose it and they are re
sorting 70 ridicule. But this tariff
reform has taken such hold on the
American people, and become 50 in
ierroven with the industries and
enterprises Of this great nation, that
it cannot be yanquished by satire
and ridicule. The bill will have q
struggle but it is thought it will
pass.
