JUDGE aALBRAITH,s SUCCESSOR,

The retirement Of Judge Galbraith from
the bench OF the Supreme Court OF the
Territory will net take place init the COM
mission for Mr.. De Wolf arrives, and un-
til then the Suprsns Court will not take
overt action in the matter OF assignments.
But the longer the matter 10 delayed, the
better assured the remaining members of
the Court may Be that when Mr.. De Wolf
receives his commission it is tacitly accom-.
panied by appointment to the Second Ju-
dicial District. A. was stated before, his
appointment was aaked OF the President
as Judge Galbraith's successor in the Sec.
ond District. The President has appointed
more A~ontanians or rather residents of
Montana to Office than any OF his prede.
cessors, and in complying with the wishes
OF the gentlemen who urged Mr.. De VOLTS

lar inquiry - to his qualifications to sue

DR.. Bovett, Deputy Territorial VET, was
in Deer Lodge Valley a few days ago and
saw on the range there over one hundred
horses afflicted with the mango. He was
old that over three hundred animals were
affected in the same way. The temperature
was about thirty below zero at the time OF
DR.. Bovett's visit. and many OF the horses
were suffering greatly from the cold. having
no hail on their sides or bellies. Eight or
ten of them had died from that cause, and
many more were Likely to follow suit. The
mango il very contagious. and it a NANCY
horse rubs himself against a tree or a post,
the next horse that rub there is pretty GER
tain to catch the disease. DR.. Eovett says
the mango is very easily cured if the proper
measures are taken, but comparatively few
stock owners know how to treat it.

dence written in 1885 upon the prospect

heading for the Pacific, though it had not

in question had a 6, cd deal OF general

Wind River Mountains to JacksOn's Hole

through the box canyons to Eagle Rock;
thence by choice of severa Out to Salmon
River and down to that stream to an uu-
named terminus. The correspondence is
now reproduced, presumably to influence
the final location of the road, but it is not
likely that the road will cross country so
far north. The Lest pass over the Wind
River Mountains into Jackson's Hole is
over 5000 feet above sea level, and though
the approaches are tolerably easy, the ele-

Dies MONIES. Iowa, January 1O.-Gov-
lernor Larrabee's biennial message was de-
aSHred to the legislature this afternoon.
OF saking OF the prohibitory law, the Gov
saor says: Much progress has been made
sery4e enforcement Of the prohibitory law.
eou1 onlv has public sentiment much i'm
Wired in relation to it, but judicial off,
cots are more disposed to secure it's
enforcement. Many judges give strong
testimony in its favor, showing that where
it has been we'll executed there have been
marked reductions in criminal offsnses and
also in court expenses. During last year,
and particularly during it's latter hall, there
has been . decided falling of in psniten-
tiary eonviets, and a very large number OF
them for the first time in years. There
has been q marked improve ment in the
condition OF the poorer people, especially
in the families of laboring men addicted to
strong drink, while there is
VERY LITTLE DIFFICULTY
| now in enforcing the law in the rural dis.
tricts and a very large majority of the
counties. There are still a few portions of
the State, particularly some of the larger
cities, where the law is not enforced. This,
however, does not include all such cities,
for in Des Moinss. Sioux City and Cedar
Rapids, three OF the largest and most rap
idly growing cities OF the State, the pro-
hibitory law ia now INC has been for the
past year we'll enforced. The Constitution
makes it incumbent upon the Governor to
enforce the law. Citizens have again and
again called upon me to enforce the pro-
hibitory law in a few counties and places
where. as yet, but little regard has been
paid to it. l in turn have called upon
judges. sheriffs and other officers to aid IN
accomplishing this, but l regret to say
without success.
KNOW OF NO MEANS
at the command OF the executive which can
be relied upon to secure better results in
the future, therefore l recommend that a
joint committee of the General Assembly
be appointed early in the session to INQUIRE
into the reasons for the nonenforcement Of
this law IN certain communities and
whether officers are neglectful of their du-
ties. l think some measures should be
adopted to quicken the coneciences of Off
Gals VINO neglect or refuse to perform their
sworn duty, or else provide a way for their
suspension or removal. It is a disgrace to
the State to have its authority so openly
defed. Our people are strong in their con-
victions that this law should be enforced as
well as others, and it is the duty of the
legislature to provide means. The au-
thoriry OF the Legislature in these matters
is no longer a subject OF dispute. The re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States settles hat question.

There are several varieties of feas, but
they are so much alike that their differences
are interesting only to scientific people. The
cat flea will do as well as any to show us the
process of breeding. During the spring and
summer months she simply drops her eggs
into the fur of the cat, but in the autumn
and winter she CLUES each firmly upon a hair.
These eggs are so mail as to be barely visible
to the naked eye, but under the microscope
they are, very beautiful, looking like the
l~oveliest pearls, and are perfectly translu-
cent. The flea deposits nearly 200 at n time.
running about and dropping them here and
there. They soon hatch into small, white.
footless worms. In from ono to two weeks
thoy go into cocoon. Nothing can be prettier
than this cocoon. l wish | could show it to
you, but will try 20 describe it. 1t is like n
flask of clear glass, tinged at tho edges with
pearly tints, and dotted over with gold. The
littlu sleeper within lies in a circle, Is rose
colorcd, looks like the delicate petal of u
flower. In about six weeks he reaches ma
turity. At first he is not larger than n mite,
but when well fed grows quickly in size and
strength.
Fleas nro quarrelsome, and great fighters.
When several are confined in a glass, they
will stand on their hind legs, striking Mt
their opponents with the others, and Ri
over aud over each other, losing legs and an
tcnnn, and at last giving up their lives in
tho fight. There is Il record OF a flea which
lived ten days after such an encounter, with
no a%ntennn, three plates of Ills side Lrokcn
i'll, one eye gone and with only four legs,
and these cut Off TO the first joints.-S. L.
