NEW NEWSPAPERS.
Two Very Creditable Debutantes In the
Field.

We received this week Vol. l, No. of the
Missoula Gazette, an column folio pub
lished by the Missoula Publishing Cow
NJ. Beckford, President, F. G. Higgins, Sec
retary and Treasurer, W. j, Mccormick,
Editor and II. NJ. Pierce, Manager. 1t is
decidedly handsome paper, with all new and
we'll selected type, and with Major McCor-
mick as editor will be a Democratic power
in the Territory. We welcome him back,
even if but for the campaign, and trust tho
Gazette will have abundant success.
Another handsome newcomer is the Non
tana Register, published at Bozeman, with
George Anderson as editor and publisher. 1t,
too, is printed on clean faced new and tasty
type and makes us feel rather embarrassed IN
our old clothes. The salutatory is we'll writ
ten, and indicates clearly it will advocate
Prohibition in Montana. While it does not
ignore the value of ''moral suasion" it thinks
NO one should find fault if the temperance
movement should "crystalize in the
form of statutory enactment absolutely
prohibiting the manufacture, importation
and sale of alcoholic liquors as beverage" /"
or why any good citizen should find fault
with the application Of the law in any COM
munity where majority of the people are in
favor of it. 1t will be independent in poll
tics AZ far as the old parties are concerned.
We believe Mr. Anderson is capable and
conscientious in the line of work he has un-
dertaken. and however 1t may differ as to
methods for the general good we bid him
welcome to the field and trust the right and
he best may prevail.

Rocky Mountain Husbandnaan, Sd.
1t is, indeed, matter of serious regret to
note the lack of independence manifested by
the Democratic Central Committee of the
Territory, which convened last week in
Helena. We are reliably informed that
there was not free trader on the committee
OF single one who endorsed President Cleve-
lands message, ami to their credit they ap-
pointed anti Cleveland men to represent the
Territory at the national Democrat attic conven-
ton at St. Louis. But they capped the eli
max by passing q resolution endorsing Gro
yer Cleveland aud the administration. Why
men representing q Territory whose every
interest is protection, should endorse free
trade policy and administration, a man who
has proved false to the only principle in the
national Democratic platform effecting
the welfare of the Territories, and whose
policy towards our people has robbed them
of mail facilities justly due, aud which is
calcul lated to clog the wheels OF progress is
more than we can tell. We believe it ls the
duty of every citizen of the Territory, OF
whatever politics, to resent the wrong offered
our young and promising industries and re-
buke the administration that refuses ade'
quate mail service to the struggling civiliza-
ton of the Rocky mountains, while it com
plains of the millions accumulating annually
in the national treasury, to resent the at
tempt to annihilate one of our most promis
ing industries, the wool interest, and pander
instead 10 British gold. Cleveland is not
endorsed in Montaua, notwithstanding what
the party organs say, by even five hundred
Democrats, and should there be an issue
where an expression could be had Mr.. Cleve-
land would find it out.

THE INCORPORATION MATTER.
Tho Map Completed and Petition Circulated

No time has been lost by the committee in
having map prepared of the lands within
the proposed incorporation boundaries, and
defining the three wards or districts as may
be, whether the census shows 500 or less in.
habitants. The newly included portions ex-
tend the east boundary to line running
north and south through the Schlicting
house; the north boundary running east and
west about 100 feet beyond DR.. w. w. Hig-
gins residence. The area included is about
40 acres. The committee has established
the districts or wards by east and west lines
across the entire town site. The First ward
includes everything north of Second Street;
the Second ward all between Second and
Fourth Streets, and the Third ward all south
division that could be made, the First and
Second wards including both residence and
business portions of the town, SO that there
will be community of interest in each.
Mr.. OBannon prepared the petition,
which was circulated yesterday, and this will
be presented to the Commissioners at their
next meeting, that suitable person may be
selected to take the census, which will deter
mine whether it is to be town or city of
the second class. If there should be special
meeting of the Commissioners this month it
would greatly expedite matters. as the cleo
ton on incorporation could then be ordered
at the June session, and it will take over
two months thereafter, at best, to set the
government in operation.

SOLVED OR UNSOLvED7
The Nj Iystery Of the Murder of John Dem
Madame Eckart Says She Did It.

On the night of October q, 1879, John
Dem, a wine merchant, corner Jackson and
Wood streets, Helena, was murdered in his
cellar presumably for his money. The
murder was brutal one, his head being
crushed with some blunt instrument. It ere.
ated a great sensation, the more so as the
perpetrator could not be discovered, and
suspicion attached to many innocent as we'll
as the one guilty person. Nearly nine years
have passed. Recently Mrs. NJ. A. Eckart,
who has been in the artist and Photographic
business in Helena for some twenty years,
took sick. and after a lingering illness, died
last week. During portion of her illness
she had as nurse Mrs. Holmes, of Helena,
said to be trustworthy and reliable, who,
after the death of Mrs. Eckart, stated to
Herald reporter that, on her death bed, Mrs.
Eckart revealed to her the name of John
Denn's murderer, under the Injunction that
she was not to report it until after her death
The confession was made with all the neces-
sary tragic accessories of closed doors, stim-
ulants, rawlings, etc. Mrs. Holmes held to
her secret until after Mrs. Eckart's death,
and then refused to give the name except to
protect some innocent party, but under the
provocation of 'out with it, from Mrs.
Eckart's daughter, Mrs. Jesse Sch wobe, the
nurse sent for the Herald reporter and stated
under the most solemn protestations that
Mrs Eckart confessed II killed John Denn."
There are still many doubts as to the truth
fulness of the confession, notwithstanding
the solemn circumstances under which it
was made, and her relatives assert that she
was not in Helena, but in Virginia City,
when the murder occurred. 1t is not i'm
probable legal steps will be taken to deter.
m inc the facts.

Notice

We invite the attention of the farmers of
Deer Lodge County to our lines OF Harvest
ing and Haying Implements, and suggest
that they now place their orders for Mowers,
Rakes and Binders, and save disappointment
by waiting until all machines are sold, as
has been done for several years past. The
Crown Mower is justly celebrated as being
the hghtest running, closest cutting and
most durable Mower in the country, and is
fully warranted in every respect to be as
claimed. Its large sale is its best recon-
mendation. showing that the farmers OF this
section recognize its superiority over all
others, and have no fear of breakage or de-
lays while using it. The Hollingsworth Rake
is well known to be the best made, and as to
the Esterly Binder, we challenge any Binder
sold in Montana to enter the field and com
pete, this being the test we ask and invite to
prove the 'Esterly" is the King of Binders

amounting to s3,O0O0lO, to a new set of

This looks vastly like drawing out of busi-
