ABILENE FAIR.

Address TO the Public from the Progressive
! Committee of Abilene-E Everybody Invited.
| To the Citizens of Adjoining Counties.
! We have undertaken the holding of a
| district fair, at Abilene, on the LIST, ID
and Sd Of October, next, for the benefit
of this entire section of country. The
fair is intended for no county in par
ular, but for ALL for 10 individual, but
for the whole people.
Encouraged by the magnificent success
of the district fair held at Abilene last
October, and to meet the wishes of the
many friends of the movement all over
the country that the fair should again
be held at Abilene, we have so an
nOunCed, but we will state that when
ever the people of this section desire it
that we, and other citizens of Taylor
county, will cheerfully aid and earnes tly
work for the success of the fair TO be
held at any other point that may be
selected in the district.
And we would suggest the ACCESSIBILITY
of a permanent organization composed
of an equal number of representatives
from every county, to take charge of
future fairs
The fair is not local matter, and we
earnestly invite every county to select
one or more representatives TO attend the
district fair at Abilene, next October, to
look after the interests of their respective
counties, and to assist in the manage
ment of the fair, and when you select
your representative, please notify our
secretary, Mr.. John HOeny. By doing
this the interests of every county can be
thoroughly watched by home repre-
sentative, and better satisfaction guaran-
teed
We believe that collective county eX-
hibit will be of great benefit TO your peo-
pie, and to encourage them premium OF
$50 has been offered for the best county
exhibit, Taylor county not to compete as
the fair is to be held at Abilene. Should
this feature prove to be a success, q much
larger premium will, no doubt be offered
in the future. The benefit to your coun-
ty from such an exhibit can hardly be
estimated, besides we have made ar
engagements with the Texas and Pacffic
railroad to carry any and all of these
county exhibits to the Dallas fair, with
out cost to you, if you so desire it. By
all means your county should be repre-
scented at the Dallas far by a good ex-
hlbit, such as it has the capacity to make,
and the exhibit made by your county at
the district fair here can be transferred
to Dallas with but little trouble.
In conclusion, we will say that we will
do every thing i'll our power to make your
visit here next October a pleasant one,
and we trust that every one of you will
come and bring with you something for
exhibition. There is not one of you who
cannot bring something that would be
credit both to your county and to the
fair. Respectfully,

Work on the Opera House Continuing
for the Opening in Three Weeks.
John Mcguire came over yesterday from
Helena, where he is playing the Rose Os.
born company. to see how matters are
progressing on his theater here. He has
six men at work on the building finishing
the interior woodwork When asked az to
the liens placed on the building by the work
men, he said he had taken steps to have
them lifted and in the meanwhile work will
continue uninterruptedly getting the thea
ter ready for opening in about three weeks.
Mr.. Mcguire was positive as to the theater
being ready to receive the Rose Osborn
company in three weeks from nextMonday.
This week the company is playing in Hell
ena, and, by the way, the members of the
Legislature get a free show there tonight.
Next week the company is booked for
Great Falls and Fort Benton. The follow
ing week they return to Helena and play
there, and the third week they are
booked to put in at Missoula and other
points on the circuit in the western part
OF the Territory coming by way Of Ana
conda to Butte, bS which time Mr.. Ma
guire says the new temple of Thespis will be
ready to receive them.
All the house will be painted and fres-
coed in the meanwhile, Nj. Mcguire stat
ing distinctly that everything in this line
would be completed before the opening.
Mr.. Paxsou, h escenic artist. will set to
work at once, a frame for this purpose
having been erected yesterday. The time
is, of course, too short to get ready a full
set of scenery, only those pieces immedi-

"THE BIsMARCK DYNASTY
A Sever Arrangement of the Iron Chancel-

tion.

A Severe Arrangement of the Iron Chancel-
Tor and His SON In an English Publica-
tion.
LONDON, January 31.-The "Contem-
porary Review" has q long anonymous
article on 1.-THE Bismarck Dynasty" in
which is a disagreeable attack ON the meth.
ODDS Of the Chancellor and Count Herbert,
and which gives them a very severe scoring.
The Chancellor's youthful brawls and in
trigues with women are gone over and com.
mented on. The article affects to dismiss
as uncalied for the insinuation that Primo.
Bismarck wished for the death OF the Em.
peror Frederick, but it lays stress on the
TACT that the idea that his ascendancy
might be replaced by Emperor Frederick
was q nightmare to the Chancellor. He
furthermore knew from Frederick's refusal
to discuss state matters with Herbert that
the latter would succeed his father. who
could therefore be surprised" asks the
writer, had Bismarck wished the cancert to
make haste?"
The article also severely criticizes the
present Emperor, and calls him a pet pupil
Of a cynical master, who found no difficulty
in treating his mother after Count Herbert's
own heart.
The article is generally attributed to Sir
Morrell Mackenzie and it is supposed to
have been inspired by the Empress Fred
erick.

THE American Shipping and Indus
trial League began Its annual session at
Washington, Wednesday. General Pit
kin made the opening address, which, it
is stated, was q strong argument in
favor Of Government aid In American
shipping, by subsidy and by discrimi-
nation in Its favor" 1t is further stated
that he regarded the establishment Of
American shipping Of the utmost i'm
portance." The general neglected to tell
his auditors that the destruction of
American shipping was due to our in
famous tariff system, and dates from the
imposition Of the same. OF necessity a
high protective tariff is destructive of
commerce, because nations, like people,
when Disseminated against in trade
matters, will insist On ~retaliatory trade
methods, the result being disastrous dis
examinations. For this reason, every
nations hand is against the United
States, and the result is the ruination of
our shipping industry, which once was
great. On the other hand, England, with
her low tariff and liberal international
trade policy, Is Queen Of the seas, her
vessels are in every port, and her flag
kissed by every breeze the world around.
These facts speak volumes for low tariff
principles.

PAwNBROKER AND BORROWER.

r." Eh AND
1t is probable that every state in the
Union has a law to protect the unfortun-
ate people who are compelled to be the
patrons of the pawnbrokers of the land.
In California the law allows the pawn
broker four per cent. a month, and re-
quires that he shall keep an article six
months before the owner forfeits his
right TO its redemption.
Under this provision the poor but in
dustrious needy have an opportunity for
retaining their property.
Montana seems to have no such pro-
vision for the protection Of her poor. 1t
is the opinion Of many that the present
Legislature ought to pass an enactment
to meet this requirement. As it is, the
borrower is completely at the mercy Of
the capitalist. The latter dictates the
price, the percentage and the terms
generally, and II the borrower does
not. by reason Of inability or otherwise,
redeem his pledge within the few days,
weeks, or months agreed upon, he has no
alternative but to permit the article
precious, perhaps, for the old memories
that cluster around ito pass forever
from his possession.
The Legislature ought to help the poor.
The others generally help themselves.
Such a measure as that here suggested
would do much good. in that it would
come to the relief Of the needy.

THE RESERVATION TROUBLES.

interviews with Two Stock Men COM
cerning Grazing and Other Privileges.
Says the Livingston "Enterprise": tom
Kent, the well known sheep man from the
Grow reservation, was q visitor in Living
ston last Saturday. He has recently had
an interview with Agent Bristol OF the
Crows in regard to the white men and their
belongings being moved of. MIR. Kent said
that the agent did not realize that he WAS
driving away from their homes some men
who have lived there from fifteen to twenty
years. He fully agreed with the agent,
however, that it would be much better for
the Indians il the worthless squatters who
had came on the reservation within the
past two or three years were driven Oh,
but he thinks that some Discrimination
should be used, and that the order com-
polling all white men on the reservation to
leave is a harsh and unjust measure.
Mr.. Kent is fully in earnest in this mat
ter and ID much attached to his Indian
wife and family OF children and resents
ANYTHING that casts a slur upon theui.
Such men as he are OF benefit to the Crows
and should be allowed to remain. He has
considerable property, but not nearly as
much as he is credited with, and what
property he has got will be the Lawful
heritage of his Indian family. 1t will make
them people Of independent means aud will
afford to the Indian AN example OF the
results OF industry.
A conversation with A. NJ. Quivey, the
United States marshal ON the Crow reser-
walton. develops many pointsin the trouble
now going on between the squaW men n
the agent that are not perhaps perceptibie
to the observer from the outside. He seems
to think with many others that the agent
is pushing this business too far and that
there are quite q number OF white men who
ara entitled to remain ON the reservation
and who are an actual benefit to the In
dams. Mr.. Quivey has himself been for
| many years o resident among the Indians,
and while his philosophy has become some
what Influenced by his surroundings, he
still retains much OF the quickness and in.
telligence that must have characterized
him when q young man.
He is said to be an influential adviser oil
Plenty Couee, whom he characterizes az
the ''smartest Indian on earth" Plenty
Coues most certainly ia the most infuen'
tial Indian among the Crows, and a man
who can control him id any way has q
great power for good or evil among the
tribe. Mr.. Quiyey was asked why the
agent had taxed the cattlemen for loading
cattle at Huntley and Custer stations. H.
said that it was necessary to prevent men
from grazing their cattle on the reservation
for an indefinite time under plea OF waiting
to load.
He said hat he had known OF several in
| stances where cattle men had driven in on
to the Indian lands and kept their cattle
there two months, thus deriving benefit
from the Indians grass lands without pay
ing toll. 1t had become necessary, in his
opinion, to tax the cattle on this account

The Old Placer Camp Destined to Become
an Important Ore Mining Center.
It was learned yesterday On good au-
thority that the mines near Bannack and
at Elkhorn are in a fiourishing condition.
Outside capital has been invested there,
and the present development Of some Of
the properties in the neighborhood por.
tends it's future Importance Al a mining
center when it shall have access to rail-
road. The inhabitants ave subscribed to
stock for telephone connection with Dillon,
and are alive to the c~onveniences OF mod
ern civilization, and it will probably at no
distant day be connected by rail with the
outer world, as there is a good route for a
branch OF only twelve miles in length over
an easy grade.
The placer mines at Bannack are by no
means played out, as may be judged from
the fact that a Helena syndicate has pur-
chased a number OF them below
the town, and it's agent, Mr.. Kelly,
expects soon to mining
operations. Phil Shenon's mines are said
to be improving in richness with depth and
he has q bonanza in sight. The Magnet
group and other mines in the Elkhorn dis
trict are being developed this winter with
encouraging results. j. L. Cochrane has
eighteen inches of 1S0-ounce silver ore in
sight on a new find within three-quarters of
q mile of the Storm group. It ia now being
developed by q shaft $50 feet deep from
which prosecuting will be done this
month. J.S Meade & Sons ale working
the Poiaris and making their regular ship

ment work near Bald mountain, where the
prospects are said to be encouraging.

Improved Property Values and Valuable
Coal Discoveries Bringing It to the
Front.
John Sullivan, an old-timer and an en-
pI0ye OF the Parrot mine, returned last
evening from the Flathead country, where
he has q ranch and stock interests. He
states that the price Of property has i'm
creased 100 per cent. since last spring and
that investors are going there continually.
Since the close OF navigation on the lake
Indians have taken advantage of the situa-
ton to monopolize the carrying trade into
the Flathead country from the foot OF the
lake and in doing SO charge what they
please, making extortionate charges to
strangers. He makes the same statement
in connection with the houses at which
travellers stop along the road,
