ROBBED ON HIS WEDDING DAY.
Andrew Moulton of Stanford paid our
town visit the other day and on being
interviewed stated that he was after
suit of clothes and a sum of money which
were in another mans possession, and he
wanted the other man. 1t seems that one
day last week Moulton went to his room
to dress up in his best clothes for his own
but found his garments gone
and all the money he had in the world /
gone too. Being deputy marshal he |
soon formed an opinion who had them,
and took the trail of four men and fol.
lowed them here, arriving here one day
too late. He followed and overlook them
in Neihart. The next day he took one of |
them back to Stanford when the fellow
proved himself innocent, and he was re-
leased. We have not yet heard whether
MIR. Moulton married the girl or not. If
he has we invite his wife and himself to
our dance. M. E. RITT.

Gov. Richards thinks that it will be
broken shortly, though he admits that he
has no substantial grounds for the belief.

to the thought. Another prominent re-

believes that it will continue long time.

SUPPLYING ANACONDA.

the sand COulee Coal Company Receive
an Order From Anaconda for
25O Tons Of Coal Daily.
The Sand Coulee coal company is now
finding the demand on its output much
greater than ever before and although
they produce from 1000 to 1900 tons
daily they cannot keep fully up with the
orders. Besides furnishing coal for the
Montana Central R. r. and nearly the
entire system Of the Manitoba, the local
demand has increased many fold. They
supply the Montana smelling works, the
Boston i Montana and Parrot at Butte
and now comes the Anaconda with
standing order for $50 tons of lump coal
every day. The result will be an in
creased force and output at Sand Coulee.
Superintendent Burrill says if the com
pany will give him the men and cars he
stands ready to fill all the orders that
can pour in on him.

a NEW CATTLE PEST.

Something About the New Cattle-Pest
that has ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
Disease and the Remedy Recommended
by the Department of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Last summer a new
pest was reported in cattle in New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland and Northern Virginia.
The pest has again made its appearance this
summer. II is a small fly, half the size of
house -fly which settles in great numbers around
the base of the horns and on other portions of
the body. where it can not be reached by
either tail or head 1t sucks q moderate
amount Of blood, reduces the condition of the
cattle and lessons the yield of milk by from
one-third to one-haf. This new pest has been
investigated by the Department of Agriculture
through the acting entomologst l.. O.'How-
ard who has succeeded in tracing the entire
life-history OF the pest. He thinks that the
fly lays its egg, usually at night in freshly
dropped cow-dung and that for the develop
ment from the egg through the maggot
stage to the perfect fly again a space OF only
twelve days is necessary. He says this rapidity
OF reproduction accounts for the wonderful
number in which these flies appear, and il fol-
lows with reasonable certainty that the in
sect will pass the winter in the quescent
stage at the bottom of dungs dropped late in the
fall (the approximate date TO be determined
later. The preventive is obviously to lime
the dung in the fall in places where the cattle
preferably stand at night. At the present time
applications may be made to milch cows and
valuable animals which will keep the fires
away The applications may be % fish oil and
pine tar with a little sulphur; (2l tobacco dust,
when the skin is not broken; (3) tallow and a
small amount of carbolic acid.

Reading Aloud.

If you ask eight people out of ten
now, they will tell you that they hate
being read to. And why? Because
from their childhood they have been
unused to it, or used only to such mono
tonous drones as robbed even the
s.Arabian Nights" of half their charm.
The husband, at the end of hard days
work, returns home to pass the evening
absorbed in his book, or doing over
the fire, while the wife takes up her
novel, or knits in silence. II he read
to her, or if he could tolerate her read
ing to him, there would be community
of thought, interchange of ideas, and
such discussion as the fusion of two
minds into any common channel cannot
fail to produce. And it is often the
same when the circle is wider. l have
known a large family pass the hours
between dinner and bed time, each one
with his book or work, afraid to speak
above his breath, because ''it would
disturb papa" Is this cheerful, or
wise, or conducive to that close union
in a household which is a bond of
strength through life, which the word
can neither give nor take away? / can
not blame them, for they all read abom-
inably.
But it was not always so. In the last
century-even as late as fifty years ago
reading aloud was regarded as an ac-
complishment worth the cultivation of
those Especially those who lived in the
country with pretensions to taste; and
it was, consequently, far more frequent
ly found enlivening the domestic circle.
There were fewer books, fewer means
of locomotion, fewer pleasures of win
ter nights outside the four walls of the
country parlor. The game of cribbage,
or the sonata on the spinet, did not oc-
cupy the entire evening after six o. clock
dinner; and Shakespeare and Milton
were more familiar to the young gener-
alton of those days than they are now
mainly, L feel persuaded, because they
were accustomed to hear them read
aloud. The ear, habituated to listen,
is often Il more safe conduit to the
memory in youth, than the inattentive
eye which rapidly skins page.-Nite-
