A Ballad OF Moments
All through tho hours Of night,
The unrcmitting rain

AL through the hours OF nignt
The unrcmitting rain
Beats with its footsteps light
Upon the window-pane;
Again and yet again,
Tho raindrops count aright
To ears Of slumber fain,
The moments in their flight
How slow, alas, how slow
The reckoning they recite
As moments come and gol
When Dawn leads up her bright
Young Hours, rosy train,
How ready for delight
The world and we remainl
For burdens that constrain,
And shadows that alright
Old memories that complain,
And dreams in black bedight-
The presages Of woe
Have lost their dismal might
As moments come and go.
The moments that in spite
Distil the tears Of pain,
Descend like infinite
Raindrops, on heart and brain
Each one separate bane;
But moments that alight
Like dewfall on the grain,
Refresh us and requite
So gently, none may know
Or sound Of them or sight,
As moments come and go.
ENVoI.
Ballad, in black and white
Make now this sentence plain,
Bear witness thereunto;
Wrong shall give way to right
And night Of day be slain,
As moments come and 60.

Fire at Philipsburg.

Great excitement was occasioned at
Philipsburg Wednesday by the discov-
cry of fire in the shaft house and hoist
ing works OF the Bi-Metallic mine of
the Granite Mountain group, owned by
st. Louis parties, bat operated sepa-
rately. 1t was known that the day
shift of some 100 men were down in the
lower levels at work and much anxiety
for their safety was felt by their friends
and the whole camp. Nothing could be
done for the men at the burning shaft
and attention was directed to the old
working shaft, now used for an air
shaft. This shaft only reached down
to the 200 foot level. When the men
below discovered the working shaft to
be on fire they came up to the 200 foot
level and came out safely to the surface,
to the great JOY of their friends and the
entire community. The shaft did not
burn down to any great depth and the
flames were soon extinguished. The
burned works will be Immediately re-
stored.

10 CENTS
Railroad Items.

The Northern Pacific has just issued an
annual tariff sheet ON live stock from Da-
kota, Montana and Idaho points to Chi
cago and Milwaukee. There are no ma
terial changes from the old schedule.
A Journal Winnipeg special says:
The negotiations between the Northern
Pacific railroad and the Manitoba govern
ment, including an extension of the
Northern Pacfic SO as to compete with
the Canadian Pacific at all points, have
been brought to successful conclusion,
and an extra session of the Legislature
will be called to ratify the agreement.
Justice VanBrunt in the supreme court
chambers at New York on Saturday
granted temporary injunction order to
show cause on August 2d why it should
not be made permanent, restraining the
Oregon Railway and Navigation company,
its officers and agents from building
branch lines and doing certain other acts
which are objected to by Brayton Ives,
Edward Sweet s. Go. and Charles Colby,
who own 665 shares of the stock. These
parties are suing for permanent injunc-
ton in the supreme court.
The terms of the agreement between
the Northern Pacific and the Manitoba
government have been made public. The
Northern Pacific agrees to build this year
the extension to Portage and next year to
continue the line to Brandon. No arrange
mcnts are made us to branch line extern
slons. The agreement calls for the main
tenance of maximum rates from the prov
ince to Duluth on wheat and certain other
classes of freight. This rate is considera-
bly, lower than the Canadian Pacific rate
from Winnipeg to Port Arthur. The
agreement also distinctly stipulates that
| the Northern Pacific shall not enter into
any pool arrangements with the Canadian
Pacific

Refuse to Sign the Treaty.

NCAuoC ~ 0sSh tAAC AC0Ny.
The Sioux Indians at Standing Rock
agency have refused to treat with the
commissioners sent to induce them to
sign an agreement giving up portion
of their lands. Their ultimatum was
given the commissioners Monday. John
Gross was chosen to present the ultima
tum to the commission, assisted by
Gaul and other chiefs. Gross referred
to the other treaties broken by the
whites and spoke about the Black Hills
treaty. Chairman Pratt had said that
their lands could not be taken except
by consent Of three-quarters of the In
dians. This was the proposition of the
other treaty. How then did the whites
take the Black Hills when they only
got about 800 Indians to sign? The In
dians were fools then, as they have
always been in making treaties, and we
hope we and our children will talk slow
and not be fools hereafter. You move
other Indian tribes among us off the
land given the whites. We do not want
this and the other tribes will not like it
either. The whites owe us much under
the treaties Of years ago. The govern
ment should give us what it now. owes
before it asks for more. We have our
crops to look after and must get back
to work. We will not sign. We came
here because our agent asked us to and
we did not want to shame him. You
cannot get us to sign. After Gross had
finished, Gaul was called, but simply
reaffirmed what had been said.

laf. one of the Bohcmians, drew a revolver
and shot Phillips and Larkins dead. The
Bohem,ans then ran to their houses and
barracadea themselves, while the dead
mems friends got reinforcement and were
preparing for an assault which would have
resulted in much bloodshed had not the
police arrived and arrested all interested.
There are new reports of frauds discov-
cred in the importation of sugar at New
York. The report is that the refincries
have been guilty of stenciIing sample
bags of sugar with the government stencil
mark, the sugar thus stenciled being of a
lower grade than the sample bags of sugar
really imported, and that then these
falsely stamped bags had been substituted
for the genuine bags and the classification
made and the duties paid upon lower
grade than the cargo really imported. A
difference of one degree in the test would
make difference of $4,000 in the
United States on an average cargo.
The house has passed bill permitting
Wyoming territory to select, protect and
lease school and university lands and the
senate has concurred in the amendments.
In the discussion in the house on the bill
Mr.. Toole ot Montana offered an amend
ment that other territories bs included.
Mr.. Holman, chairman of the committee,
said if the amendment prevailed the bill
would be laid aside for the present. MIR.
Carey of Wyoming said that he had
worked three years to get the bill through
congress and hoped it would not be dc
layed. Mr.. Toolc then withdrew his
amendment.
1t is stated that there is a possibility, if
no more, that the prosecution of the Bo-
bemiau dynamite conspirators at Chicago
may result in the capture and punishment
of more important criminals. Appear,
ances point to John Most as the arch CON
spirator. His trail shows at intervals all
through the plot. State Attorney Long
necker and Inspector Bonfield are con
yinced that Most belongs in the dock
with the four Bohemians and no stone
will be left unturned to put him there.
Considerable information which from the
nature of things cannot be made public is
already in the inspectors hands and there
is chance at every turn that the missing
links may be picked up.

A Kansas Feud.

n war has broken out in Stevens
county Kansas, between Hugotown and
Woodsdale men whereby no less than
seven men have lost their lives. On the
28th ult. Sam Robinson, city marshal of
Hugotown, and Mr. Cook of the same
place went to the Dudley ranch, on Pony
creek, accompanied by their wives, to
look up some cattle which they were
trying to buy. While taking dinner,
Deputy Sheriff Short Woodsdale man,
accompanied by five other Woodsdale
men, rode up to the party and asked
Robinson to surrender, as he had war
rant for his arrest. Robinson said he
would go short distance from camp,
leaving Cook and the ladies behind, and
there give his enemies a chance to take
him. He did so, and on reaching con-
yenient spot both parties opened fire,
with the result that four Woodsdale
men were slain The other two fled and
Robinson escaped without scratch.
Cook hastened to Hugotown and gave
the alarm and soon an armed squad
went to their assistance. Meeting lot
of Woodsdale men, an encounter took
place, in which three more people were
killed and number wounded. John
Cross, sheriff of Stevens county, was
one of the men killed in the second
fight. The names of the others killed
could not be learned. According to re-
ports, the whole country is virtually at
