Prof. Anderson Entrusted with Work
of Much Importance.
During the past season Prof. F. W.
Anderson, our special agent for the
United States department of agriculture
has been engaged in working up two
subjects Of immense importance to stock
growers and farmers, viz: The investiga-
tion of the fungus diseases Of our native
and cultivated plants and the investigation
Of the capabilities of Montana as stock
raising country. His report on the latter
subject has been received at Washington
and calls forth high praise. DR.. Geo.
Vasey, head of the botanical division
there, says he will try to get thousand
copies for Mr.. Anderson to distribute to
whom lie sees fit. H
This report which is entitled "The
Pastoral Resources of Montana" de-
scribes the general features of the ter
ritory geographically; tells about the
mining prospects and agricultural possi-
bilities iE different counties; gives faith
full details concerning our climate and
its effects upon stock. A considerable
space is also devoted to the kinds of
native grasses which so largely contribute
to the making of Montana horses and
cattle the fine animals they are. This re-
port will do a great deal to open the

O'Clock, in Usage City, by ]. G: Names,
who returned unexpectedly to his resi-
dence and found Mcconnell taking his
departure. Believing Mcconnell had
been guilty of improper relations with
his wife, McManes opened fire with a
pistol. The general took to his heels, but
received two bullets in his back and fell
to the ground. McManes gave himself
up, making the statement that Mcconnell
had been the cause of the separation of
himself and wife, and ruined the lives of
botl. of them. Mcconnell is still alive,
but physicians say his wounds will prove
fatal. He is one of the most prominent
attorneys of the state, and the affair has
created very much of Il sensation. Re-
ports of his improper relations with the
woman have been current for some time
in Usage City. He was brigadier- gem
eral in the Army of the Potomac, and
was prominent in Grand Army circles,

Outrage by White Caps.

scHAMoK1N, Pa, Jan. Thomas
Hague of Coal, who runs saloon in a
small mining village, two miles east Of
this place, was whipped by White Caps
last night and thrown in the creek with
ropes attached around his body and kept
under the water until almost dead. Three
miners, on their way from work, ap-
preached the spot where the outrage was
being perpetrated and were forced to-
stay on the scene until the White Caps
had executed their vengeance. The
leader informed the miners that they had
seen Hague attempting to commit an as
sault while geing to Schamokin early in
the evening. Intense excitement prevails
in this place and in the coal townships.
The people have received warning to
stop indulging in drunkness, gambling,
etc., or they will be the next to be visited
by the White Caps.

King william Dying.

/ LONDON, Jan. H. Private dispatches
from The Hague report that the general
idea there is that King William is dying.
"a regency is regarded as SO inevitable
that cabinet meeting was held today to
discuss the question Of calling it into i'm
mediate being, and another meeting will
be held tomorrow. The utmost anxiety
is felt about the the Luxemburg success
ion, which will naturally devolve upon
Adolph, duke of Nassau, but which, it is
suspected, the King of Prussia may ap-
propriate on the ground Of ancient claims
to the Orange heirship, which the Kings
OF Prussia asserted up to the time Of the
pragmatic sanction. The duke of Nassau,
who is only few months younger than
the dying king, hates and is hated in re-
turn by the Hohenzollerns quite as bitter.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Jan. 19.-seven
persons fleeing from the smallpox
scourge in Denver, arrived in this city
last night en- route east. They say that
from the best authority that could be OBJ
tained, there are 75O cases of the disease
in different stages now in that city and
that fully 700 of them are in the city
pest house. The newspapers of the city
have refrained from making mention OF
the scourge, and hundreds of people
are daily thrown in contact with it
through ignorance. Within the last two
or three weeksa number of people affllct-
ed with the disease left Denver and
stopped in different towns in Kansas.
