MIssouLA, April Especial. !
Spring has come, the trees are bud
ding, wild flowers are in bloom
and the green grass springing up
everywhere (excepting in the
streets). Plenty of snow in sight,
but it is many miles off on the tall
peaks of the Rockies, and serves
only as cold reminder of the
past winter. Building operations
are in full blast, hundreds of men
and teams busy and earning good
wages. A visit to Missoula at the
present time. if you have no very
special ties elsewhere, will cause
you to settle down in this beauti-
full, enterprising and growing city.
Here you can make money and
enjoy good healthy living at the
same time.
The great natural resources of
Missoula county are being de-
veloped rapidly. and hundreds of
people from all parts of the United
States are immigrating to this
wonderful rich country. The city
of Missoula is peculiarly healthy,
having the advantages of a high
altitude, being 5000 feet above
sea level, and yet being sheltered
from the cold East winds and open
to the chinook winds of the Paci-
|, .ic Coast, caused by the Japan
Ocean current. Vegetation luxu-
rates in such climate; and we
have that grand combination, the
bracing air of the Rockies and the
comforts of an eastern locality.
Where is the man, woman or child
who does not long for the or
chards, gardens and lawns SO nu-
merous in the East. Missoula is
noted for its many advantages,
but especially for its many COM
Portable homes.
BY investing in Missoula real
estate at the present time you
will be sure to net profit of at
least 100 per cent. in the next IL
months. Mcconnell. Cook & Co.
are sole agents for much of the
best property in Missoula, and Of
fer many bargains in all parts OF
the city; but we wish to especially
call your attention to the new
plat, McCormick's Addition No.
2, lying a half mile west of the
business center of the city, which
addition is commonly known as
the Garden and Orchard Addi-
ton" to Missoula; it receives that
name from the fact that the soil
is excellent and well adapted to
gardening, and there are hundreds
of thrifty and bearing fruit trees
growing on the lots. There is
great deal of satisfaction in hav'
ing home. and instead of barrer
lot a well-cultivated garden with
plenty of water for irrigating pur
poses. Fruits, flowers and vege
tables of all kinds grow readily
and successfully on the lots in the
McCormick's Addition No.

Gen. Miles, dated Long Pine. Neb., Dec.
lG, as follows: Gen. Brooke reports
that Two Strikes ard about 500 indians
are now camped at Pine Ridge agency,
and these, with the other Indians at Pine
Ridge and Rosebud, are all that can be
drawn out of the disaffected camp. The
others are defiant and hostile, and are de
termined to go to war, and there is no
hope that any other effort at pscifcation
would be successful He estimates the
number of'men in the hostile camp in the

$. A. Kean & Co. Fall.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE private hank
ing house of s. A. Kean & Co.. one of
the Oldest in Chicago, will not open its
doors tomorrow. Nj. Kean made a
statement to the press tonight announcing
the suspension. He declined to estimate
the liabilities or assets, but was OF the
opinion that every claim will be paid in
full. They have been negotiating for
some time, he said. for reorganization
either as a state or national bank, and ex-
pected TO reorganize without stopping
business. 1t had been found, lowever.
that it would be impossible in the short
time to raise the necessary funds to con-
tinue business with safety pending the
reorganization. Ii was thereupon deter
mined to accept the next wisest COURSE
suspension. Our business. continued
Kean, has grow too rapidly the last year
or two for our capital and the s~tripgency
Of the money market made 1t impossible
for us to turn over our securities again at
once after we had loaned money on them.
Our nominal capital was $1,000 y but in
the reorganization it would be $500. 900.
The firm. which was formerly known as
Preston. Kean & Co. has done a large
business in floating city, county and pub
lie improvement bonds. These, when not
otherwise disposed of, would be pledged
TO banks for call loans. At New York
and other Eastern points these loans haze
recently been called for heavily, and the
drain on the house apparently reached the
limit today. Another factor wal the cir
cumstance that the demand for the securi-
ties of comparatively newly settled dis
tricts, such as are largely dealt in by
Kean & Co., had fallen off TO a considera-
BILE extent. The deposits in the institution
recently aggregated between 5000. 900 and
500, 900. Wide celebrity was given the
house some years ago by the extraordinary
incidents following the defalcation of It's
cashier. Ker. who was traced TO and
brought back from Peru. and. after a long
legal fight. incarcerated in Joliet.

not satisfactory 10 every detail TO all the
senator's, but was accepted as the
best possible compromise. The caucus
also instructed the committee on the rules
to prepare and report a cloture rule. 1t
is understood that it will be framed on
the lines of the rule proposed last session
by Senator Hoar and will provide for or
