General Manager P. P. Shelby, of the
Montana Central returned to Helena on
Monday and is gratified with the arrange
ments lie has perfected at Portland for
through traffic. The Montana Pacific is
the name under which business will be
conducted under the new arrangement.
Going to San Francisco by way of Ogden,
Col. Shelby says the route from st. Paul
is 225 miles shorter then the Northern
Pacific. Going to Portland, connection is
made with the Oregon Short Line at Poca-
tello, thence to Wallula Junction, and on
the Oregon Railway and Navigation line
from that point to the scaboard. The
Northern Pacific has dissolved it's connec-
tion with the Q. r. & n since this ar
rangement was made with the Manitoba
and Montana Central roads, which has re-
suited in the Northern Pacific handling
all its freight traffic itself, going by way
Of Tacoma and the Cascade tunnel. This
latter route, Col. Shelby says, makes but
a few hours difference in the time which
can be made to Portland by the two roads,
the slight difference being in favor of the
Northern Pacific.

IN FROM BARKER,

We had the pleasure of a visit from J Ohm
+. Williams, of Clendenin, Tuesday
Mr.. Williams is rustler from Rustler-
vile. At his mine, the T. W., he has 150
tons of first-class dry ores, ranging all
the way from rs to 785 ounces silver to
the ton, and plenty of it. He has shaft
on the vein fiftytive feet, the vein run
ming Northeast and Southwest. the CON
tact vein between porcelain and lime,
and averaging four feet in width.
The work on the Moulton, owned by
Clifton & Go, is progressing finely. They
have a shaft of between forty and fifty
feet and working continuously
The Tiger, between the 7. w. and the
N1oulton, owned by Hurley & Conley,
also the Harrison, west Of the Moulton-
all on the same vein--are good and prom
Using prospects.
A fine ore body has been struck on the
Nora B., after running a 1O0foot tunnel,
and they are following up the vein with
excellent results. 1t is undoubtedly one
of the future great mines of the camp.
In the Pride of the West they have run
a tunnel along on the vein for IS feetand
have made cross-cuts into the ore-body,
exposing large amount of ledgemattcr.
The ores are rich carbonate assaying
from 20 to 500 ounces of silver, and 80 to
40 per cent lead to the ton
Messrs. Wilson & Co., are working in
dustriously Oh the Wyandotte, running
tunnels and sinking shafts. The ores are
Galena and carbonate, ranging high in
silver and 80 to 60 per cent lead.
New locations are being constantly
made and there is certain prospect, as
soon as the spring opens, of a great in
hux, of miners and lively times, which
will be made very lively as soon as the
railroad strikes the camp.
So far, it is the universal experience of
the miners of the Barker, Neilart. Wolf
Creek, Yogo and all the mining districts
of the Belt mountains that the ores get
richer and the veins larger as the work
ings descend.

Dancing commenced promptly at 8
o'clock and was continued till the "wee
sma' hours"
The superb music for the occasion was
furnished by the celebrated Race string
and cornet band.
The hall was handsomely decorated
with the stars and stripes, emblems of
the Order and much unique and tasteful
festooning.
Too much praise cannot be awarded
the committee of arrangements, Messrs.
W. P. Wren, G. NJ. Webster and F, f.
Shur, through whose indefatigable
labors this Silver Anniversary of the
Order in Great Falls was broug lit to such
happy close.
The gallantry of the Knights of Pythias
is again emblazoned upon the outer walls
OF popular approval. An Order whose
liberality and courtesy prompts COM
plimentary banquet of such magniti-
cence to its friends, who are circum-
scribed only by the capa-
city of the assembly hall, deserve,
as they have always received, the ap
proval Of the good and the true of every
land where its benifcient influences have
extended.
In behalf of all the guests and of the
citizens of Great Falls generally, we
wish the Order, during the second quar-
ter century of its progress, even more
brilliant achievements than have marked
the history of its first quarter century
just closed.

'wITHOUT FOOD OR WATER.
"HELENA, Mont, Feb 14.-The cattle i,
the northern part of the Territory, ac
cording to A. G. Webster, stock raiser O
that section, are in famished conditio,
owing to lack of water and food. Mr.
Webster fears there will be great loss
among the cattle of the ranges"
Is that true?
L. NJ. GAsKILL.
| The. foregoing is an illustration of the
vicious effects produced by the propaga
tiQn of a falsehood. If a truth had been
uttered, it would simply have been passed
us in commplace accord with the sstame
and cold facts" in the case and that
would have been the "end ont" But
lie-fying on the pinions of the myri.
ads of false spirits that fill the circum-
ambient air around us-who have no use
for truth-will travel with the light
ming speed of ten thousand rays of dark
ness. We have already published our
unqualified denial and it has been tele-
graphed through the country that at no
time in the history of the tock-busi-
ness of Northern Montana were the cat
tie and sheep interests in more sound
and healthy condition. There is prob
ably more fat beef now OH the ranges
than ever before at this season of the
year. Parties coming in from the ranges
in different directions say that it is almost
impossible to find carcass of an animal
that has died on the range this winter.
For few days preceding the late light
snow, cattle undoubtedly suffered a lit
tie for want of water in some sections, al
though not sufficient to cause any par
ticular shrinkage in flesh. Though the
snowfall on the plateaus and prairies of
Northern Montana has been unusually
light the present winter, the SHOWS in
the mountains have fallen to about the
usual depth. 1t is believed by the old
settlers here that we shall have an un
usual amount Of snow and rain during
the spring and early summer They say
this is almost invariably the case when
the preceding fall and winter have been
dry.
stock-growers say that, owing to the
small amount Of moisture that has fallen
during the past two or three months, the
grass on the ranges is much stronger and
more nutritious than usual. It is the uni
versal testimony of the cattlemen that a
dry fall will cure the grass in better CON
dition than wet one for the reasons
first, the rains wash out portions cf the
nutriment from the grass; and second,
that in wet fall the grass is kept grow
ing and full of sap till the frost comes
and these self-curing grasses thereby lose
many of their nutritive properties.

FOLDED HANDS.

Pale, wifhered hands, that more than four
score years
Had wrought for others soothed the hurt Of
years,
Rocked children cradles, ceased the fever's
smart,
Dropped balm of love ia many an aching
heart;
Now, stirless folded, like wan rose raves
pressed,
Above the snow ana silence of her breast:
In mute appeal they told OF labols done,
And welI-earned rest that came at set Of sun.
From the worn brow the lines of care had
swept
$ II IN Angels kiss. the while she slept.
had smoothed the eebweb wrinkle quite

And given back the peace OF ehildheed's day.
And on the lips the faint smile almost said:
@None knows iife's secret but the happy
dead
50 gazing where she lay, we knew that pain,
And parting could not cieaye her soul again.
we were sure that they who saw her last
In that dim vista which we call the past.
Who never knew her old and laid aside.
Remembering best the maiden and the bride,
Had sprung to greet her with the oiden speech,
The dear sweet names no later lore can teach,
And Welcome Home they cried. and grasped
her hands;

AN ENORMOUS RAINFALL.

The Signal Service at Washington re-
ports that the spring of 1889 will go down
in local weather annals as one which has
broken all records since the Signal Office
was established, SO far as the amount of
rainfall is concerned. The months of
April and May especially have been mark
ed in this region by a succession Of heavy
rains which generally lasted for several
days at a time. During the month of
April more than twice as much ain fell as
in any other April since the Signal Service
was established, and May has been as bad.
The total rainfall for the month Of May
has been 1913 inches, or 7.21 inches in ex-
excess of the rainfall Of May of last year.
The record Of the last three months exceeds
that for the same period of last year by
10. Is inches.

OF DYsPEpsEa.


One of the NEST common causes OF dys-
pepsia is eating heartily when the system
is tired and jaded. When exhausted by
either mental or physical work we are
usually r%avenously hungry, and Of course
turn to food as q means Of restoration.
The fact is seldom appreciated that the
stomach shares in the depression caused by
oyerwork, and hence at such times is una
bic to perform It's ordinary duty. The food
taken then is but very slowly digested and
before the process is completed fermenta-
tien often takes place. II it does the con-
sequence is that we are in a worse state
than If the food had not been taken, for the
fermentation generates acid and gas, which
d turn rot only interfere with digestion,
but excite other disturbances.
In a very strong and healthy person the
m effects eff eating when the system is
much fatigued would not be so marked as
n one below the standard of health. Very
aervous individuals suffer from the habit
and If debilitated they arc quite sure to
crow more so If Is is persisted IN. When
very 'tiged aud hungry it is always best
50 rest for a time before eating, or TO take
some such simple pickup as hot milk,
which should be slowly slipped. That is
very refreshing, indeed. and usually meets
the requirements qnite as well as an alco-
holic slimHlant.

Make Decision.

Daring our late war men were compelled
to take sides-for or against the Union.
We are now in the midst of another war of
vastly more Importance TO the welfare OF
this state. On which side are you? On
one hand stands the saloon with its auxil-
iaries-the gambling den, the brothel;
with its firm allies-the gambler, the thief,
tho burglar, the libertine, the low and de-
graded Of all humanity. Are you in that
crowd9 How can a decent man array HIM
self with all that vicious and dangerous
part Of our inhabitants This is not sem
timeut, but a pure, simple statement of
the ease. Before God, we believe that the
liquor traffic is undermining this republic,
and the man who arraigns himself on the
side of the saloon annot be a patriot.
The wisest men of this land share these
same views, and unless the saloon is for
ever outlawed. we as a people will awake
toolate.

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.

Christianity, thank God, is coming to be
more and more practical in its aspect and
work. We are coming to feel more and
more, that a religion that has everything
for a future world and nothing for this
world has nothing for either. a religion
that neglects this present life, is a mother
who neglects her infant with the expecta-
ton that manhood will set everything right.
There is a class of persons who spend their
lives in trying to be good. There is another
class who spend their lives in trying to do
good. Genuine goodness is something
more than a mere self-seeking for eternity.
1t is something more than that sort Of pious
living which means little else than a safe
and sagacious investment in the skies. 1t
is a working together with God in this
world for the uplifting and ad-yancementof
the human race. 1t is a seeking to lessen
the pains and burdens of life among the
toilers and the s~trugglers. 1t is a reaching
out after the children Of poverty and want
the hapless little ones who have been
hurled p~rematurely against the life-wreck-
ing problems of existence. Help that can
run to help the helpless, and comfort the
comfortless, always keeps closest BIZ the
side of God.
Perhaps we shall find at last, in the day
of final disclosure. that the deepest and
most far-reaching influence that we ever
exerted was the influence that we exerted
over the helpless ard neglected little chill
dren OF the streets. Perhaps we shall find
it to be the best work we ever accomplished.
At all events, it is well to live well. And
he lives the longest who lives the best. He
is great who eonfers most of blessing on
Northumberland B. Cooper.
