THE HORSE GROWERS.

They Resolve that II Is Best Not to Have
Distinct Organization.
At the meeting Of the horse. growers at
Helena Thursday, says the independent,
motion was adopted requesting the
president to appoint a committee of seven
to report plan for the permanent organ
ization of horse growers association,
whereupon the president named Joseph
Scott, P. II. Poindexter, q. j. Morrison,
John Brabinberg,. Len Lewis, Daniel
Flowerree and Nelson Story as such com
mittee.
After about an hour of del,beration the
committee reported as follows: @
"Xeur neaa,~ittee begs to report that we
do not recommena the organization of a
separate organization devnfadlta horse in-
terests alone, but heartily endorse the
efforts of the Montana Stock Growers
association and the territorial board of
stock commissioners. In addition to this
your committee recommends that at the
next session of the legislature an effort
be made to pass law taxing the horse
interests an additional mill for the pur-
pose of employing special detectives and
we further recommend that some legisla-
ton be secured SO that the board of com.
missioners be empowered to dispose Of
all stray horses now running on the
ranges and leading so many discharged
cowboys into the paths Of horse thieving
and the money so realized be applied to
the fund for the horse interests.'
After devoting some time to discussion
the motion to adopt the resolution as read
was carried and the meeting adjourned.

Street vs.. Common Cars,

The following important item of the
test shipment between the common stock
cars and the Street improved stable car,
made by the Mizpah Live Stock com
pany, from Miles City to Chicago, was
given the Independent by the live stock
agent of the Milwaukee railroad. Last
week the Mlzpah Live Stock company
made an important test of the merits Of
the improved Street stable cars over the
old car. August 10 Mr.. Holt, manager of
this company, carefully selected out of
twenty-four cars Of cattle thirty-nine
head, taking cattle as hear weight as
possible, Out Of this number cut Of
eighteen head was made and put into a
common stock car, and the other twenty
one head was loaded in one of the Street
improved cars. The eighteen headlin the
common car were carried to jamestown,
OAK, where they were unloaded and fed
and were also unloaded and fed upon
their arrival at st. Paul. This car was
billed via the Chicago, Burlington and
Northern railroad. The Street car CON
tanning the twenty-one head was billed
via the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
railroad and was run thraugh from Miles
City to St. Paul, where they were un-
loaded and rested and reloaded the next
day and sent into Chicago. Upon the
arrival in Chicago of the cattle both cars
We're weighed and the sllrinkage on the
commaH car Of cattle was found to lie
ninety.on pounds per head, while those
IN the Street stable car was only thirty
three pounds per head, showing differ
ence In favor Of the Street stable car of
fifty-eight pounds per head. The stable
car costs 5 per cent on the. rate more
through to Chicago than does the COM
mon car.

Political matters are very quietin Great

Political matters are very quiet in Great
Falls and Cascade county, considering
that in one week the democratic county
convention will be held, to be followed
soon afterward by the opposition conven-
ton. There is no animated scramble for
the offices, or at least it is not apparent
on the surface. 1t looks as If, in some
cases at least, the offices will seek the
men instead of the men the offices, which
is something rare in local politics. We
hope to see good men nominated, so that
the affairs of the new county may be sue
cessfully and wisely administered, as they
have been during the past year. The po-
litical complexion of the county is not
definitely known, but it is certain that
neither party has very large majority.
The pArJy That nnmin mates the best men is
likely to be the winner and this 1act
should not be overlooked by the demo-
Gratis next Saturday.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
"WEDNESDAY AUGUST 20, 1888.
DAILY EDITION
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The Tribune is pleased to note the sue
cess achieved last evening by the Great
Falls Electric Light and Gas company
when for the first time the works were set
in motion and the electric light turned
on. The experiment was great success
and from the first moment everything
worked in exact order and to perfection.
Most Of our business houses were lighted
last evening and two lights were set up
on Central avenue, one in front of the
Park hotel and the other ct Murphy,
Maclay & Co.'s corner. In every case the
utmost satisfaction was given and the
general verdict is that the electric light is
an immense success.
The system in use is the Edison incan-
descent, the best in existence either for
house lighting or for the streets, and Mr..
=. McMullen, the general agent, says there
is not a better plant west Of St. Paul than
that of the Great Falls Electric Light and
Gas company, which, by the way, Is
wholly home institution with some of
our best citizens at its head The works
have been put in with reference to the
future as well as the present, as only
about 20 per cent of their power is now
taxed. When Great Falls is city Of 49,
900 people, and that time Is not very for
in the future, the present plant will suffice
to furnish all the light that may be re-
quired by the city and its inhabitants.
The company begin operations on pay
ing basis and it will not be long until it is
one of the best investments in Great
Falls.
The principal stockholders are Ira
Myers, president; E. g. Macay, T. E.
Collins, L. G. Phelps and Paris Gibson,
and to these gentlemen the city is in

Miles City is putting forth strong of
fort to secure Il WOODEN mill. Thisshows
enterprise on the part of our Yellowstone

hat Great Falls, situated in the midst
of the best wool-growing district of the
west, and with its water power and other
facilities, is the strong point in Montana
for such an enterprise.

Ahother step t0rWArd IN the progress
of our city will be made soon
when the electric light works will be set
in motion and many of our business
houses are lighted by the electric ray.
This promises to become popular enter
prise and soon not only the business
houses but the principal streets of the
city as well will be lighted by electricity.
The system to be used here is the best in
the world and the plant Of the Great
Falls Electric Light and Gas company
has no equal in the territory.

There is popular superstition TO tbs

the chief end of beauty is 10 polish
her iilbert nails. train her arched
brows, devise new schemes for be-
witching her fellow-creatures and wear
rs many becoming costumes as Provi-
dence or her husband sees fit To give
her. In many cases this is true. no
doubt. but so frequent and admirable
are the exceptions that the justice Of
the belief is completely Overthrown.

FcRT SIITH, Ark, April 2s.-Three
executions took place here yesterday un-
der sentence, passed by Judge Parker Il
the United States District Court on Feb
ruary 2. The victims were: Owen ID Hill, a
negro. for the murder of his wife on july

OF Charles n. Wilson. in the Ci1ctnw Va.
tion, In lss5; and George Moss, negro. for
the murder OF George Taft. in the Choc-
taw Nation, in September. IsS7.
The condemned murderers each spent A
good night. Hill was heard praying sew
eral times. He ate very little breakfast.
and spent most ot the morning in PRAYER.
Moss broke down and cried. Hill repeat
edly declared that he was ready and i'm
patient to 90. Crow talked very little.
and seemed in better condition than
either of the others.
At ten O'Clock the men were given each
neat suit Of black clothes. Crows
clothes were much too large, and he
laughed at the fit they made.
The death warrant was read by Deputy
Marshal John Carroll to each Of the men
separately, In the jail corridor. at ls:i0 d.
m. They all listened TO I. without any
emotion. except Hill, who WIS very ner.
vous and could not talk. Tho prisoners
were then shackled, and the procession
started for the gallows with guard on
each side, Moss taking the lead. They
walked steadily, Hill singing loudly an
improyised farewell. They mounted the
scaffold steadily, Crow with half smile
on his face, and Hill still singing. Upon
his breast he wore large card bearing
the letters M. S. b., made OF hair his
mother, brother and sister had sent him
On the scaffold, n short, fervent praye,
was offered, and they were placed on ths
death-trap while the ropes were being al.
justed- Hill kept up his running song o
farewell and good will TO all. saying b,
was standing ut the doors Of Heaven. Tn.
others did not utter word after mount
ing the scaffold. except to say farewell I,
the guards.
At five minutes past one the black cap
were adjusted, and four minutes later III.
trap was sprung and they were launche,
into eternity. Beyond a slight conyulsior
neither OF the three men made any motor
after the fall. Their necks were broken
and death was painless. Hill was pro
nounced dead in thirteen and half min
utes; Moss in eleven minutes. and Grow
in fourteen and a half minutes. The exc
eution was Witnessed by about City per
sons.
