Editor Evening News.
If you will give me little space in
your paper I will tell you something
Of our end of the town. First, we are
having several houses built. H. A.
Pain has built another room to his al
ready handsome building, which is very
ornamental as well as convenient; also
Mr.. Frank Cross has bought house
and lot and fitted it up handsomely by
decorating house and yard, and rumor
has it that he will further decorate by
furnishing it with a lady as mistress
Of same, and Ninth street will lose one
of its charming young ladies. But
your correspondent wishes them many
pleasant moments in their welded life,
as will the NEWS also.
We have no artesian we'll vet, but
have good light at nights which gives
light to all the hill, and everybody is
well pleased.
Health in our burg isgood, only one
case of sickness being reported.
Wishing you success, I am yours

There were no cases come to trial in

The meeting Of the soliciting CON-
mittee on cotton mills, set for four this
afternoon, had only five present at half

press.
The j. p. Morton Camp, G. A. r.,
will unite with Camp Pat Cleburne in
decoration of soldiers graves on de.
coration day. 1t will be the gray and

The proprietors Of the NEWS are
much gratified at the manner in
which their efforts to improve the
paper are being rewarded by q rapid
increase of its circulation.
Warrants are out in Justice Jack
Harrison's court for several parties
one charged with shocking language in
quarrel over husband, aud the other
for parties charged with vagrancy.

The escapade at the Pacific saloon
on Wednesday night will appear before
the police court tomorrow morning, and
public sentiment can afford to wait the
developments of the trial, which will
be more reliable than reports which are
always tinged with the effect Of excite

Camp Pat Cleburne held very lage
and very animated meeting last night
at the Office of Justice F. A. Makeig.
A programme for the ceremonies on
decoration day, which occurs on the

Ball, the negro who struck another
on the head with brick mould on
Wednesday, and account of which as
sault, as developed in the police court
in trial for assault yesterday morn

evening, was re-arrested yesterday by
the county authorities and held. His
examining trial before Justice F. A.
Makeigs takes place this evening, or
in the morning. The charge is assault
with intent to murder.
i A decision of Judge Hurt of the
court Of appeals makes it obligatory
in justices in issuing warrants charg-
ing abusive language to set out in the
warrant the exact language alleged to
have been used. The result is that
the warrants issued by the justices in
such cases are the vilest documents
that were ever written by pen, and
contain language that would make q
nymph du pave blush for shame and
sicken even an imp of the lower re-
gions.

Montana Cattle

The present price of beef on hoof is
causing some uneasiness to the cattle
growers of ofMontsns. Referring to the
prices quoted at Chicago, Helena
paper says they present serious mat
ter, and il possible some remedy must
be devised, "for we are so far away
from market that any further decline
In the price OF beef on the hoof, or any
increase in freight rates by railroad,
will involve some OF our best people in
hopeless bankruptcy" In view Of the
fact that in Oregon, Washington ter
ritory and elsewhere the invasion of
pasture lands by tillage is lessening
rapidly the beef-producing capa city
OF the country, suggesting that the per-
iod is approaching when We shall have
to import beef, instead Of being export
ers, there would seem to be no good
reason why cattle raisers in Montana
OF anywhere else in the country, should
be alarmed as TO the furture Of the in
dustry. The present situation is very
likely not altogether favorable to the
raisers of cattle, or at least those remote
from the markets, but it appears prob
able that this can not long continue.
Meantime, II will be wise to leave the
remedy to the operation Of natural
causes. .-Omahs Bee.

The Early Spires.
Notes and Queries.


 As the very earliest churches had no bells, and therefore no belfries, there spires. When bells were first used to summon worshipers they were small and were suspended in small bell tur- rets bel cots. After large bells were made high and rich and imposing steeples were erected for their reception. Communities vied with each other to make them magnificent as possible and in the number of bells they placed in them. They seem in early instances to have been placed at the west end of churches, probably in continuation of the custom in vogue before they were required of placing strong towers there for the purpose of defense
 Eventually central towers were adopted, in cru ciform buildings especially These combined the purpose of belfry with the addition of a vast open space in the interior, which gave light and grandeur to 1t. Small edihces may have been con- tent with low conical spires spirelets in these remote times, but years passed, succeeding builders made them more and more pointed or needel like and generally of the same height as the towers which they were placed. Every church tower was either finished with spire or intended to be so finished at future time.
