CHICAGO, May pa morning paper
publishes what it processes to be the pa
pers left by DR.. Cronin. The following
are extracts: June 18th, 18S8John Le-
roy in convention of the N. B. made four
| charges with specifications against Alex
Sullivan, Michael Boland and Denis c.
Feley. The charges were violation of
their oaths Of membership and offices;
neutrality-suspicious. of funds of U. B.;
3rd-Betrayal of trust and interests of N
B.; 4th-Malfeasance in Office at the Clan
ma Gail convention in Chicago in August,
1888. The above named were elected
members of the executive body and by
that body members of the revolutionary
directory. 1t is charged that the men
named deceived and misled their collie
gues on the revolutionary directory who
represented l. R. B., with whom they are
sworn to act in unison and to assist in
revolutionary work, and by such deceit
and misleading created misunderstand-
ings and distrust between the two allied
governing bodies of the Irish revolution
ary movement. They levied on the ex-
ecutive body of the U. B. in the name OF
the revolutionary directory during the
years 81. '82 '83, and 'S4, sums of money
amounting in aggregate to $128,000 and
received and expended the same, and or
dered it expended without the knowledge
and consent of their colleagues. Of the
revolutionary directory it is alleged that
they, together with d Fanen of Leadville,
subsequently audited their own accounts
at a meeting of committees and appoint
ed to try these charges Aug. 20, 1883, in
Buffalo. DR.. Cronin was present as one
of the committee. Sullivan objected to
Cronins presence as an enemy always
trying to injure him. The committee
consisted of six. Four of these found
Sullivan and his colleagues all right, but
locally and Cronin made minority re-
port sustaining their charges,

The Milwaukee house maintains its
prestige as the house for the wayworn
traveller.
MIR. Williams, atthe railroad shops, has
some fine grade short horn COWS and
calves for sale.
Maj. Roman was In the commercial city
OF the northwest yesterday. The major
has an eye to business.
1t is now time for the Tribune to CON-
mence its free trade articles which it
gave during the campaign last fall.
At the Delmonico neat, sweet, amia-
BILE, polite, attentive, industrious girl will
find pleasant, constant and profitable en,-
ployment.
The crowd "waiting for the news of the
Neihart Branch" is the attraction at Wet
zel's. Pete is a daisy on caricatures,
with Tod.
The grand jury found no true bill in
case of J. c. Hunt, but up to the time of
going to press the Tribune hasn't got out
any extra mentioning it.
Why didn't the Bladder, when pre-
tending to print the court proceedings,
include the Shamrock case, the most i'm
portant civil case on the calendar, in
which judgment for plaintiff of 5000
and costs was rendered?
A party of ten engineers of the North
ern Pacific passed through last evening
to Fort Benton where they will run a line
from Fort Benton to Billings. A line
will also be run from Wolf creek through
to Otter creek, pass to Belt creek and
thence to Great Falls.
Yesterday afternoon, few miles out
from the city, the NJ. G. north bound ex-
press knocked fine looking horse from
the track and the animal to show it's met
tie, jumped up and scampered across the
valley like scared deer. A sheep, how
ever, a few rods distant, in attempting to
cross the track, did not fare 80 we'll but
had one Of its legs cut off.
Mr.. Milligan of Hound Creek, near
Deep creek, says that he tried for several
years to get a service to the post Office at
his place to no effect; but it didn't take
Thomas II. Carter but about two weeks
to put it through, and service will COM
mence the first Of July from Great Falls
twice week. 1t will he great boon to
the people in that section.
Those who failed to see the attraction
presented by Germ & Davenport last
night, missed a genuine treat. The cur
tain dropped upon nothing which should
be hidden from the view of the ''most
fastidious" The tablaux were great and
impressive. The great play of Sheridan
Knowles, Virginius, represented in three
pictures, was excellent and the Venus of
Milo chiseled in marble is certainly no
more attractive to the really cultured,
than the representation in living statuary.
Our friend Mayo having disposed of
his business here, will, on Sunday, leave
Great Falls for the east accompanied by
Mrs. Mayo to visit fIiends and to put on
the market the Broad Guage Presser-f foot

This remarkable hemmer will make q

Prof. WilietS. Assistant Secretary OF
Agriculture has under consideration a
letter from Ireland. which he thinks
may offer a solution OF the economic
problem: What shall take the place
OF wheat on farms where it can no
longer be raised ut a profit?
The writer, who has been familiar
with flax : growing and linen man
u~facturing since 1910, says IN his in
tercsting communication: There are
only two establishments WCaying-one
ut Webster Mass, and tie other AZ APP
pleton, Wis, the latter doing but lii
tie, and neither weaving ANYTHING
finer than crash. There is nothing in
the climate Oh soil conflicting with the
assertion that just as good flax and
linen may he produced in every State
IN the American Union as IN any coan-
TRY. Germany now spins aud Weavcs
the finest linen, and she has no cs-
sentially different climate from Amer
lea. Many things become successful
IN America from the facility with
which the people take up and adopt
Improved processes and appliances,
and this may be the salvation OF the
linen industry, of the importance OF
which there IS no question. There is
every reason why the American farm

Ducks Killed by Lightning.

A strange sight was witnessed here yes
terday during a very severe thunderstorm.
when the storm was at its height an
enormously large flock of ducks was seen
coming from the north. 1t was undoubt-
eddy the largest flock ever aeen in this
section of North Dakota. The sky was
black with birds, and the number was
variously estimated at from 500, 600 to
l, GOO, coo. They were terror stricken,
and flew along wildly, making a great
noise. Instead of flying high, they sour
ried along close to the grond, and the
tapping Of their wings provoked a tn.
mutt that could be plainly heard above
the roar of the thunder.
Suddenly there came a vivid flash Of
lightning followed by a terrific peal of
thunder. At the first flash hundreds Of
the birds fell crying 10 the ground. The
storm began TO grow in its frightfLl in
tensity and the ducks became more ter
roiized each moment. There came an
other fash more vivid than its predeces-
sor and thousands Of the fowls fell heav-
lily 10 the earth. Two more flashes in
quick succession and the slaughter was
even greater. Swarms of the birds dc
scepded rapidly and lay in heaps upon
the ground. Their death was appar
emily instantaneous, for there was not
even the Tapping of a wing as they fell.
The birds that escaped flew on, still keep,
ing up their hearse cries. After the storm
wss over great heaps OF the ducks were
found on The grond. Probably 10000 OF
them were killed by the lightning

The bulletin of the Storrs School Ag-

tains detailed accounts of experiments

others were let alone. All were re-

"Ihe lesson which these experiments

1t is not simply for the sake OF killing

Weeds are his enemies, but drought

insufficient for full yield even when no
drought is apparent. The soil has re-
