Rosa Schmidt, a German girl Is years old, was
sentenced to two years N the penitentiary for
forging a check bearing the name of DR.. Cor

ployed as a servant in his family, found his

bright and very Shy and retiring. Her family
live here, and are very good, honest people.
Great efforts were made to secure her pardon.
The judge who condemned, the jury who
tried the attorney who prosecuted her, and
numerous outsiders signed the petition, because
her fate has excited general sympathy. The
papers were forwarded ia Governor Ross three
weeks ago, but no action has been taken.
Yesterday the penitentiary contractor called
for the prisoners here and left with them for
the penitentiary. Among them was Miss
Schmidt. She was very submissive, making
no cutlery. Despite her quietude the man in
charge placed a chain around her white neck
and yoked her to an exceedingly brutal negro
convict, who goes up for term OF years. In
this condition she was driven through the
streets to the depot and in this condition she
will probably make the long trip to Hunts
vile. Tho action of the contractor has
awakened widespread Indignation. All the
dailies here have treated the subject editori-
ally in the strongest terms. Despite the girls

never been o whisper against her virtue.

reaches the prison is cOnjectured. The most

ABRAMS As

John Burbridge who was confined in the sta
tionhouse for contempt of court, at Helena,
made 8 attempts Tuesday to commit suicide.
He at first resorted to the time-honored Gus
tom of hanging by the neck until he was dead,
but his bed clothes did notmake halter suffi-
ciently strong to hold him suspended in mid
air. He then took nail from bucket and
tried to sever his jugular vein,
but his colored cellmate caught him
in the act and compelled him to desist. Later
he tried to extinguish life by eating lime, but
was again foiled. Burbridge came to the city
Saturday and began to drink very excessively.
He was witness in a case in the Jurors
court Tuesday morning but was too drunk
to testify and was locked up for contempt.

Lowenstcin Says No Bribery Was
Attempted.

Friends of Cant. Burger declare that
not only has he been the target of abuse
from the Republican county committee,
and subject to insult and humiliation at
the hands of a few ardent committee
men, but in addition thereto he was
offered a sum of money at diff
ferent times if he would leave
the track. A gentleman who is
pretty well acquainted with the Repub-
Iican candidate for county treasurer
stated that Mr.. LowenStein had made
direct offers 10 the captain il he would
withdraw. and Furthermore told him
that he could name any sum within re a.
son. and even though $4,000 were the
price of rclinquished ambition. the old
line Republican would see that the
money was forthcoming.
''Why. the story is absurd" said Mr..
Lowenstein. Il never offered him any
money in my life. Possibly his friends
may have offered TO pay his campaign
expenses, a day or SO after his nomina-
tiOn, if he would have the good sense to
withdraw, bat l know nothing what

Profitable by Fattening With 1t.
An agricultural writer in the Des

stances justifies their position, that good
Fat beeves will be in demand next
spring and summer, and that the pres
ent crop of corn can be safely put into
them with that object. 1t is not like it
was twenty years ago, when it was con-
sldered that nothing less than thirty
months OF three-year-Old steers were fit
to ripen up for the market. But with
the improved breeds, steers of almost
any age can be prOfitably fattened
for market. When they are fat
enough they are old enough. But they
are never old enough until they are fin
ished and pumped out with flesh and
fat. Warm quarters, warm water. care
ful attention and a plenty of corn mixed
with good sweet rough food, will make
any steer as No. in market either next
May or next September, and pay for
their food and care. Use, if possible,
all of the immense crop at home. on
hogs, cattle and horses. Cease selling
the cream of your soil at 25 cents a
buShel. Abandon the practice of max
ing slaves OF yourselves by selling corn
for less than it costs to raise. Railroads
are independent. Make yourselves in
dependent by shipping all of the prod

densed form. Howl less, but study and
