REFLECTIONS FROM pom.

PoN, KY, May 23.-In the general
dearth ofnews, the "moonshine" cap
lures, near Evansville, in Todd COun-
", afforded deal of interest. The
work was done by Marshal Wickliile
and among those selected TO assist,
Officer Tom Allen, of this county,
proved one of the most efficient. The
names of the party captured are Mer-
ideth Wells, Walter ONeal, Urian
Williams, Willie Hardison, and three
others named Swinnie, Gates and
Welbone, They were all taken to
Greenville, but it is quite likely, they
are at home before this. They are
usually taken before Commissioner,
who holds them for further trial on a
bond of $500, or less. This is gener-
ally forfeited and the lads go back to
their homes to the pursuit of fortune
in honest () avocations.
Ii the law were rigidly enforced,
that section of country composed OF
Northeastern part of Christian and
the counties adjacent would, no doubt
yield rich harvest to the Marshals
and other officers in the service of the
Government. But Notwithstanding
the fact, that revenue and prohibition
laws are frequently violated, and no
matter what we think of the policy or
justice of such laws, we are compelled
to admit that dissipation and kin
bred evils, in this county are on the
decrease.

Suckers Catch Even.

Evansville, May 23.-(Special.) y
The sudden collapse of all the "policy
shops" in this city this afternoon has
created considerable excitement, by
reason of deep-laid fraud, which
seems to have accomplished the re-
suit. The thing was brought about
by the concerted action of a'large
number of players who selected the
same combinations and played them
in the different shops TO the con-
sternation of the dealers these COM
binations all won, and when they cal
culated the loss they found they were
out about $4,000. Uniformity of the
combination used by such large
number Of players and the fact that
il won, aroused suspicion, and the
dealers refused to pay the loss. 1t
transpires that there is but one '1eg-
ilimale" policy office here, and that
all the rest are merely interlopers
who have made such inroads upon
the business of the Legitimate" office
that itsproflts were enterly destroyed.
II is claimed that this protected of
flee has put a robbery game on the
rest in order TO drive them out of the
field. Some color is given this theory
by the refusal of the protected Office
10 accept the mysterious combina-
ton which was so successful, al
though several attempted TO play it at
their office. The whole affair has the
appearance of dog-eating-dog.

Men and Women Whe Are Pictures OF
Strong Health and Happy Spirits.
The Tyrolesc are by no means fond
of very hard work. Money is not to
them what 1t is to their neighbors, tho
Swiss. They love pleasure, and will
ingly take lower wages If they are al
lowed plenty of time to amuso them
selves. The schools, too, do not carry
education 10 the extent which prevails
universally through Germany and
Switzerland, and l must confess that,
for purely agricultural population,
as the Iyrolesc are reading. writing
aud arithmetic, with good religious In
struction, are enough; and certainly
here you see no signs of overworkcd
brains. as are only too often to be met
with in the former mentioned coun-
tries. Here the children are pictures
of strong health and happy careless
spirits.

of tho Tyrol, AMI 1t is difficult to de-

mountains half-covcrcd with smiling
pastures, dotted here and there with
little chalots, and higher up one dense
mass of pine forests. Sometimes you

gold and silver ms the yellow and
white water lilies CLEAN in tho sun,
while in the distance there is n range
of snow-cnpped mountains raising
their glittering crests hcavenward,
and standing out in bold relief against
the bright clear blue of the sky. How
often have i sat at The foot of some
pine clad mountain and watched the
sun go down, listening the while to

On saints days there are generally

FREIGHT RATES.

At the present time Helena has the
same freight rate from the east over the
Northern Pacific as Bozeman enioys
but from the west the rate to Helena
remains unchanged and is therefore con.
siderably lower than that to Boze
man. In view of this Bozeman asks
that it be given the same rate from the
west as Helena has. Many of our mer.
chants find it very convenient to pur.
chase their goods from the west, espec-
tally is this true of sugar which is sent
out over the Canadian Pacific in bond
and under the present order of freight
rates can he laid down in Helena five
cents hundred cheaper than in
Bozeman. 1t is believed by our mer-
chants that when this matter is brought
to the attention of the proper officers of
the Northern Pacific that they will
grant Bozeman at least the
same rates as are in force at Helena, and
with that view in mind our merchants
have forwarded to Mr.. Hannaford a full
statement of their grievances.

Not Till August.

WASHINGTON, March 21.--It is authen-
tically stated to be the settled policy of
those who have the affairs Of the House
in charge to devote April to the consid-
GRAFTON of the tariff. There are PROPOSE.
tions before the committee on rules from
the leading committees of the House,
asking for the assignment to important
measures of days, the aggregate of which
requests is thirty days. It is not prob
able that many of these requests can be
refused. With the assignments already
made and those which must be made,
May would be consumed. In June the
national presidential conventions meet,
when. according to custom, partisan mat.
tiers will not be brought up for consider
alton in the House. The consequence ia
that during a considerable portion of
June no business is likely to be transact
ed in the House, except that which is of
routine character. Adjournment is not
possible before August.

Land Office Appointments.

President Cleveland is equipping the
land Office with good material, and there
is now every reason to believe that the
President intends to persevere in his
honest endeavors to purify department
which, of all others, had fallen into the
most disgraceful condition under success
sive Republican regimes. When Gen.
Sparks retired from the land office there
was an apprehension manifested in many
quarters that the heretofore rigorous
land policy of the administration would
be relaxed, and that the corporations
would succeed in securing successor to
Sparks who would follow the precedent
set by Republican land commissioners of
looking more carefully after the inter-
ests of the land rings than the interests
of the government. But whatever fears
may have been entertained on this score
have been disrelled by the appointment

The winter now almost passed has
been one of the worst known for years
in the destruction of life in the United
States. Wave after wave of intense cold
has swept over the broad continent, car
rying human life with it. The severe
cold of February on the eastern coast
will long be remembered as a period of
destructiveness to human life and pro-
ductive of much suffering, while the
blizzard of January in Dakota and Min.

sheltered people perished on the bleak
plains, will never be forgotten. Happily.

From One Who Knows.

A Butte correspondent, writing to the
Pioneer Press, states that the Clark =
Fork route is the only one by which a
railroad can be built and operated to the
Clark's Fork mines. The writer of the
article either exhibits gross ignorance
of the matter of which he treats or a
reckless disregard of facts in making
such statement. The proposed course
of the Clark's Fork road lies through
the Clark's Fork canyon,-a route that
Engineer Gallagher, who made partial
survey of it two years ago, is credited
with saying was better adapted for
natural scenery than natural railway
grade. 1t also takes circuitous course
through Wyoming, only to encounter
an impassable barrier in the way of
high mountain range, OH the opposite
side of which is Cooke City and the
developed mines of the district. On the
other hand, the proposed route of the
Cinabar & Cooke City road is along the
almost natural water grade of the yell
lowstone river and the Soda Butte creek,
and the only, obstacle interposed to its
construction was a failure to secure the
necessary right of way through por.
tion Of the Park that is devoid of any
natural curioslties and unfrequented by

less attack on Gen. Hancock. The gen.
eral opinion is that Senator Ingalls, is
too deep in the hole to get out, and since
it is known that Ingalls, was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor
of Kansas in 1884, and made strong
speeches in favor of Gen. Mcclellan for
President, he has lost the respect of his
party friends and is regarded as politl.
cal shyster.

ingalls, will close his official career al the

will hurt him in mind as well rs in pock-
ct. He will lose s., 1000 year, a private

The president has sent to the senate
the nomination of Mr.. Stockslager, of
Indiana, to be commissioner Of public
lands, and that of Thomas j. Anderson,
of Iowa, to be assistant commissioner.
Mr.. Stockslager has been assistant COM
missioner ever since the Office was Great
ed. and has earned this promotion by
the ability and efficiency he has shown
in the performance of his duties. His
appointment is endorsed by all people
who are interested in the proper admin
istration of the land office, for, while he
is not crank, he is able and honest.
Mr.. Anderson, who is appointed assist
ant commissioner, belongs at Knoxville,
Iowa, and was the democratic candidate
for governor of that state at the last elec.
ton.
