Married.

At the parlors of the Choteau House in
this city, on Wednesday January 25th
1888, at 2:30 o'clock p, m., by the Rev.
Father Turnell, Mr. Frank Mcclure and
Miss Katie Whalen, all of the Marias in
this county. Mr.. Will Collins acted as
best man and Miss Ruby Davis brides
maid. The bride wore cream white satin
trimmed a la turquoise, with white kid slip
pers and wreath Of orange blossoms.
Miss Davis wore dress of albertras, dark
maize color, trimmed with dark garnet
surah silk We extend our heartfelt con
gratulations to the happy pair, and add
the sincere wish that their barque may
glide smoothly down the stream of life
with not a single whirlpool to mar its
placid course.
Thursday morning about o'clock the
first sleigh containing parties who, the
evening before, attended the wedding fes-
tivities of Mr.. Frank Mcclure and Miss
Katie Whalen, hove in sight, and was
Immediately followed by many others.
From these who attended words seem in
adequate to express the pleasure and in
joyment which reigned supreme through
out the night. The music was all that
could be desired; dancing commenced at
Z o'clock and continued until six this
morning. At II o'clock asumptuous we'd
ding supper, such as was never seen be-
fore upon the Teton, was spread and of
which the assembled guests freely par
took. OF Mr.. and Mrs. Whalen, who are
well known for their generous hospitality
and their untiring efforts to add to the
wants and pleasures of their guests, too
much cannot be said Among the long
lists of presents we find the following,
but owing to the fact that in some in
stances cards were misplaced the donors
of some of the presents could not be as
certained:
Chas. Rowe Revolving butter stand
and knife
Will Collins and Ike Clark, Sofa
Mr.. and Mrs A. c. johnson. Camp

Mr.. and Mrs J. w. Tattan, One dozen

A bronze statue of handsome Durham
bull, with dropped horns, was last but not
least, a present from the brides brother,
little Johnny.
On the return trip the road proved
singularly uneven between the Teton
and Benton for the large sleigh contain
ing the musicians and several other par
ties and it capsized several times; for
tunately but little damage was done save
to bury Tony in the big fiddle. He was
finally dug out, and came to the front
smiling, with the neck of it in his hand.
A prominent dry goods clerk was much
excited during the trip, and it took the
combined efforts Of several of the heavy
weights to persuade him to keep his seat
With some little trouble and vexation,
caused by the rapidly disappearing snow
under the influence of powerful Chinook
wind, the Benton delegation reached home
more than pleased with their reception by
the happy parents of the bride and groom,
at their home on the bank Of the Teton.

A NEW RAILROAD
To Be Built with the Aid of the Ohio
River Company.

10 BE Built with tn0 Alu VI tho o'o
River Company.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July GA
special meeting of the stockholders of the
Ohio River Railroad was held yesterday at
which President Geo. w. Thompson, sec
retary w. N. Chancellor, Joseph B. Neal,
Esq, V. B. Archer attorney for the road
and C. G. Martin were present. A large
number of shares were represented, Mr.. G.
@. Martin voting the proxies. The meet
ing WAS called to take action upon prop
osition by which the Ohio River Railroad
Company was to aid the Ripley and Mill
Creek Valley Railroad Company in build
ing it's road by guaranteeing the principal
aud interest of fifty thousand dollars worth
of bonds and issued by the Mill creek Val
ley Railroad. At the meeting it was vot-
ed TO guarantee the bonds.
The action of the stockholders now goes 70
Messrs. Camden, Pratt and Clark, the Ex'
ecutive Committee, for ratification, which
ratification will doubtless be given to-mor-
row. This insures the building of one Oi
the mcst important feeders to the Ohio
river road, beginning at Ripley and run
ming thirteen miles into the interior Of the
State. The valley through which it will
pass furnishes large quantities cf timber
in various forms. 1t is expected the road
will be done before winter.

The Sioux VIII Not Give Up their Lands.
ST. PAUL, MINI, July ga Stand
ing Rock Agency special says: The ulti
mstum of the Indians was given to the
commissioners yesterday. The Indians
were in council all Thursday, and many
speeches were made and every Indian gave
his assent to 8 proposition not to sign the
treaty. John Grass was chosen to present
the ultimstum to the commission, assisted
by Gall and other chiefs. Grass referred
TO former treaties broken by the whites,
and spoke about the Black Hills treaty.
After Grass had spoken, Gall was cali
ed but simply affirned sll that had teen
done, said Chairman Pratt told Grass that
he had no more right TO speak than any
other Indian. This remark was resented
by an Indian grunt all around, and Grass
said he had the same right to speak for
the Indians who had chosen him as Pratt
had been for the whites.
At Pratt's request the Indians hnslly
agreed to stay until Monday. but said
their minds were not like children and
that they would not sign then.

A Paper that Establishes Porter's POSI-
ton Beyond u Doubt.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 29.-Ex-Goyernor
Porter's withdrawal from the Gubernator-
ial contest was the absorbing topic about
political headquarters and in the hotel
lsbbies to-day. 1t was wholly unexpected
and came with such surprise at moment
when the local primaries were overwhelm-
ingly in his favor, that nearly every polit-
ital clique is inclined to attribute differ
ent causes as prompting the withdrawal.
The following is Governor Porter's letter
on the subject to State Senator Henry NJ.
johnson, of Richmond:
INDIANAPOLIS, July %, 1888.
My Dear Sir:-The pressure of my en-
gagements has delayed my reply to your
letter. At the conference of the Lincoln
League Clubs in February last, Istated in
apublic speech that would not be candi-
date before the Republican State Conyen-
ton for nomination for the office OF Cover
nor and that my name would not be pre-
sented to Convention. Several gentlemen
were present who were understood to desire
the nomination, and the declaration was
properly interpreted by them as
being in the nature of pledge
that l would not stand IN
their way. have never
since said that would be q candidate,
but on the contrary, have stated to many
persons would not, The partiality OF
friends has recently, notwithstanding the
declarations so thoroughly evinced itself
in favor of my being nominated, that
feel il TO be incumbent upon me in reply
to your letter to renew the statement, and
to give you authority TO make it public,
that shall not be o candidate before the
convention, and am not obliged to add
that could not accept q nomination even
if it we're rendered. / have taken an &C
tive part in every Republican campaign
since the party was Organized, except one
which occurred while was holding office
at Washington.
after this long service, the State Con-
ysntion will, am sure, refrain from press
ing upon me candidacy to which l would
he averse, and which should feel Obliged
10 decline. But while shall not be can
didate, shall not be Indifferent to the sue
cess of the Republican party nor shall my
voice he silent in the important campaign
on which it is about to enter.
From the time the campaign shall be
gin until it has closed, by every effort that
can beetow, / shall give whatever L an
able to secure the triumph of the Republi
can national ticket and the success of the
candidates, who shall be nominated at oul
State Convention.
Yours sincerely,

INDIANAPOLIS, July 29.-Ex-Governor
A. G. Porter tonight informed Attorney
Kitchener and other friends that he posi-.
lively and emphaticslly declined to be
considered as candidate for the Guberna.
torial nomination, and would not accept a
nomination if il were rendered. He reit-
Grated that he never desired the nomins-
ton, and, in view of Lieutenant Governor
Robertson's recent and repeated declara-
ticns that be (Robertson) was an ayowed
candidate for the Governorship, he was
constrained to announce that he would
under no circumstances permit his friends
tn use his name in . contest for an Office
that he does not, and never did, seek.
At late hour tonight Governor Porter
eorroborated the accuracy of these state
ments TO the correspondent of the Associa-
ted Press. As a matter of political inter-
est, this absolute declinstion of Governor
PorteI's is only second in Importance
throughout Indiana to General Hsrrison's g
nomination. 1t is thought many Of Por-
ter's friends will now tender their support
to Congressman George W. Steele, OF Ma
rion, Ind, who thus becomes . formidable
opponent to Col. Robertson for the nomi-
nation.

The Daring Work Of 1eYear Old Horse
Thief.

The Daring Work Of q 16-Year Old Horse
Thief
CHICAGO, July 2s-The police have
succeeded In capturing sixteen-year old
robber, whose achievements in the horse
stealing line are unparalleled in this part
of the country. His name he gives as
Edward Brown, and he claims to have
come here from Kendall county, Texas,
about the 9Th OF June. Brown came In
with car load of Texas ponies, and when
his friends had sold their stock and re-
turned home, he formed the acquaintance
of Charles Crane, aged 19, and also haillng
from Texas. Brown soon proposed that
they 90 into the horse stealing business on
a large scale, being convinced that IL
would be very profitable. A business
partnership was formed between the two
Texans and a barn rented on tie West
Side of this city that would hold about
twenty horses. Nightly forages began ana
were unsuccessful. The boys hired hVe
men as grooms, bought hay by the ton
and oats by the carload. In less than
twenty-four hours after they started In
business they had stolen five horses and
sold three of them for liberal price. The
boldness OF their plans was remarkable :
They would hitch two stolen horses TO
stolen carriage and drive along Mich
igan avenue until they saw team
which suited them. To see good horse
meant ownership for them for they would
follow it home and in all probability Be-
cure it that night. They stole them from
Hyde Park, Grand Crossing, South Chlca-
20, Englewood and other suburbs west ana
south. Their stables became full OF valu-
able horses, and citizens began to frequent
the stables for the purpose of buying stock.
The business prospered exceedingly ana
the cowboys blossomed out In radiant
raiment.
July IL, however, was fatal day for the
adventurers They stole a morse and buggy
from North Side citizen and drove to
blacksmith shop near by, to have some
slight repairs made. While waiting, one
of them stole the blacksmith's watch and
was soon accused of the theft. Both drew
revolvers and compelled the blacksmith to
apologize for the charge. As soon as the
boys had left the smith complained at the
Lake View Police Station, giving good
description of the bandits. A detective
was detailed on the case. He was
about to give up the search in the early
part of last week when suddenly he saw
the boys driving west on Washington
Boulevard. He secured horse, followed
them to their barn and shadowed the place
for three or four days, as he could not be-
lieve that they alone could have been
guilty Of such a gigantic scheme Of horse
stealing as was before his eyes.
Crane became suspicious and fled, but
Brown was arrested. On his person was
found $500 in cash. Twenty-Five horses
and Is stolen vehicles have already been
turned up, and more are coming in every
day. The horses are uniformaly fine and
the vehicles range from dog cart to
four hand. Brown confessed everything
to Capt. Villiers. The stolen property Is
being restored to the proper owners as last
as it can be secured and identified.

SMUGGLED OPIUM.
Immense Quantities Brought to the United

Immense Quantities Brought to the United
States Through Canada.
OTTAWA, July 29.-Advices from Brit
ish Columbia say that the receipts OF
crude opium are assuming enormous pro-
portions. The quantity consumed in the
country has within the past few years in
creased at an alarming rate. Fifteen fac
tories for refining the crude material are in
operation in Victoria, which. according to
returns now at hand, used 40, 600 pounds
of crude opium in the manufacture Of the
refined article.
Nine-tenths of this, an officer of the Do
minion customs says, is smuggled across
the border into the United States, as any
one of the fifteen factories has a capacity
for producing more than sufficient to sup
ply the whole Dominion.

The Senators Postpone the Date for Re-

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator ALI
son said this evening that the prospects
were tariff bill would not be reported to
the Senate before the last Of next week. II
will be remembered that when be and
Senator Aldrich were arguing in favor Of
reporting tariff bill, they virtually
promised it would be completed within
two or three days. Now it is the last Of
next week, which is after the 1st of Au-
gust, and then it will probably be an
other week before the report comes,
which will be nearly the middle OF Au-
gust.
One of The most experienced Republi-
cans of the House, hearing Of the informa-
tion given by Senator Allison, said that II
o bill be reported, and an attempt made
to discuss il, Congress would not adjourn
before the 1st OF November. Democrats
are beginning to insinuste that it is the in
tention Of Republicans TO prolong the de-
bate until after the elections.
