Surveyors Of the Northwest to Be
Paid Soon for Work
in '88.
A Fighting Chance for Some Pub

Liberal Appropriations for Surveys in
tho Northwest - For an Artesian
System and for Irrigation.

WAsHINaToN, June A.-[Speoial. lit will
be interesting to the deputy surveyors in
the northwest to know that for the first
time in twelve years payments will all be
made this year before the appropriations
lapse, thereby avoiding all necessity on the
part Of the surveyors of presenting claims
to congress in order to secure their just
dues. The interior department. is just
about to distribute to about forty deputy
surveyors in the Dakotas, Montana, Wash
ington, Kansas and Colorado, $100, 600 appro-
priated two years ago for work done in 1888.
This is unusually quick time, although the
cash is two years over due. Unless the
money is paid prior to July l, the appropri-
alton lapses under the general law, and
special legislation will be needed before the
payments could be made. This has always
been done heretofore, involving considera-
BILE additional expense to the surveyors.
The house took up the silver problem to-
day on a question of concurring with the
senate amendments for free coinage. All
the men who voted for free coinage some
days ago will do so now. It may pass the
house, but the anti-silver men believe there
will be enough eastern democrats against
free coinage to defeat it.
Western men who want public buildings
have fghting chance to get them yet. A
number of members of congress, whose
buildings have been favorably reported in
the committee of the whole, and those who
are next on the calendar, have plainly told
the republican leaders that these bills must
be taken care of before any federal election
law is taken up. The rebellious spirit ex-
hibited by these members may allow the
buildings to be taken care of. In this sevent
the building bills in the new states will
pass.
1t was finally decided to make the amend
ment for increasing the appropriation for
surveys, 100000, applicable for the four
new states, and alone for surveys. The
provision may meet with resistance in the
house, but large part of the sum will be
secured. The irrigation committee has de-
cided to report two approximation bills, one
for $3.50, 600 for an artesian system, and the
same amount for an irrigation survey. The
public lands,' irrigation, and agricultural
committees of the senate 1--we decided to
support a bill repeating the arid land reser-
vation law.

Montana Wool Market.

FoRT BENTON, June 24.-[Speciall J. The
two large wool warehouses in this city are
now receiving heavy consignments from the
sheep ranches in the surrounding country,
and from this time ON the warehouses will
be kept busy. Shearing has been somewhat
later than usual this season. and several
flock owners have not yet commenced oper-
ations. There are but one or two complete
clips on the market, and the bids made by
buyers are as usual somewhat below the
views of the wool grower. The clips shorn
early in the season show considerable dirt,
and with these as samples, the buyer
argues that the wool is worth less
than last season. The growers, however,
claim that the recent heavy rains have
cleansed the fieeces to considerable ex-
tent, and that those now being sheared will
be very desirable property. The sheepmen,
as general rule. expect to get prices s,mi-
lar to values ruling last season, and base
their expectations on the fact Of shortage
of supplies in eastern markets. This condi-
ton has resulted in sales OF Texas woods il,
their home markets at 10 to 23 cents, and
the Montana flock master looks to similar
values for his own product.

to Find a Brutal Husband.
AT lanta Constitution.
s'After had walked over 400 miles
and suffered the pangs Of hunger for
many weeks to find him, he kicked me
and threw me down stairs"
Young and pretty Mrs. Deborah Stark
stood facing her husband, Marcus, in
the Essex Market police court yester-
day morning, as she thus accused him.
A few months after the death of her
parents Marcus Stark made his appear
ance in the little country town, and De-
borah fell in love with his handsome
face.
Learning that she possessed farm
and $4,000, he married her, and i'm
mediately commenced to Squander the
little fortune in a most reckless way.
1t was not long before the money was
all gone, and Marcus sold the farm.
Leaving his young wife and two pretty
little children to live as best they could,
he came to this country.
She managed to borrow just enough
money to buy Storage ticket. Fail
ing to secure enough money to carry
her to Hamburg, which was over 400
miles from where she lived, she started
with her two little ones in her arms to
walk.
1t was eight weeks from the time she
started that she arrived in Hamburg.
HatlesS, shoelesS and dying from hum
ger, she sank unconscious to the ground
with the little children in her arms.
She was taken to the hospital, where
she lay for many weeks lowering be-
tween life and death.
On being discharged from the hospital
she Immediately sailed for New York,
and arrived here month ago.
Last Wednesday afternoon she stag
gered through Hester street. Weak from
the want of food and exhausted from
wandering about, she sank unconscious
to the sidewalk.
A policeman was about to remove her
to the station house, when young and
pretty woman appeared and asked to be
allowed to take her and the children to
her home.
"My husband is coming" said the
young woman to Mrs. Stark at supper
time.
In another moment the door opened.
A handsome young man started to
enter. He caught sight of Mrs. Stark
and stood Oh the threshold as if petri-
fed. She looked at him for moment
and then ran to him with glad cry.
Marcus! Marcus!" she exclaimed,
as the threw her arms about his neck,
at last have found you!''
With an oath upon his lips he threw
her to the floor and brutally kicked her.
Not satisfied with this, he dragged her
into the hall and threw her down stairs.
Mrs. Stark No. 2 Immediately disap-
peared and the police were unable to
find any trace of her.
In the Essex Market police court yes
terday morning, Stark, who was dressed
exceedingly well, was held for trial

in the latter's own handwriting. Miss
Held has fol about year past been an
assistant in the Office of the clerk of the
supreme court, and to her falls the duty
of transcribing the decisions handed
down by the judges of the states high
est court. Previous to her engagement
with the state Miss Held had charge
of the force of young ladies en-
ployed in the state library by
the West Publishing company. She is
exact, careful and extremely method
ical, and here training in these differ
ent positions has given her knowledge
of the law possessed by few ladies in
the country. She is one Of the most
pleasant cOnverSatiOnaliSts in the cap
ftol, and is an accomplished and cul-
tured young lady.
Miss Mary A. Pendergast, of the
state superintendent office. is daugh-
ter of President w. w. Pendergast, of
the state agricultural college, and oc-
cupies the dignified position of being
the senior, in point of service,
of the entire force of la
dies now in the capitol. Miss
Pendergast is thoroughly acquainted
with the work of the educational de-
partment of the state, and State Super
Intendent Kiehle would be quite at sea
without her. She is graduate of one
of the state normal schools, and is,
therefore, thoroughly qualified
teacher, understanding the needs and
the demands alike of the educators of
the state. She is, by long odds, the
quietest girl in the capitol, but she has
been known to smile on several oc-
casions-at least her friends make that
Statement.
Locality cuts some figure even in the
appointment of the female portion of

Mrs. w. n. Richardson, of the inSur-
ance department, was born in Prince

ant of one of the oldest and best fami-
lies of that state. She was married In
1875 to w. N. Richardson, of Streator,

member of the board of trade, Chicago,
whose failure and death occurred some
seven wears since. Mr.. Richardson. now
clerk in the insurance commissioners

state longer than any other lady, save
one. and by her womanly character and

Value of Light Artillery,

Frank Leslie's Monthly.
.sLet me give you bit Of history"
said downtown leather merchant the
other day, s'that many student has
overlooked. The objects of peace are
not all that leather figures in, for it is to
leather that we owe the Introduction Of
light artillery Leather cannon have
been actually tried on the battlefield,
and, what is more, turned the tide OF one
of the greatest battles of modern times.
The inventor of leather artillery was
certain Colonel Thomas Scott, Scotch
man in the service of Charles l. of Eng
land.
"He constructed guns of hardened
leather and eXperimentally tried them.
The result was that they were pro-
nounced superior to guns made of brass
or iron. But the colonel did not live long
to enjoy the greatest triumph of his in
vention. He died in 1884, and a monu-
ment erected to his memory | have seen
in church yard in London. This monu-
ment represents him as an armor-clad,
fierce-looking man, wearing heavy
mustache and pointed beard.
''ln the very year OF the colonePS
death the effectiveness of his leathern
artillery was amply proved on the men,
orable field of Leipsic, where, September
z, 1881, Gustavus Adolphus achieved
his splendid victory over the imperial
lists under General lilly. 1t is said that
it was owing to the invention of Colonel
Scott that the victory was obtained.
'The guns were found to be so easily
carried that a small battery could fly
from one part of the field to another,
and thus artillery be brought to bear
where most needed-a thing impossible
with the heavy artillery of that period.
Certain it is that leathern artillery was
used in this great battle by Gustavus,
though it is equally certain that the
guns were never used afterwards. The
reason of that, however, was that the
leather guns having demonstrated the
value of light artillery, way was dis
covered of making the metal guns lighter
and the greater durability of the latter
gave them the superiority"

st. LOUIS Republic.
Sadawaga lake, large-sized pond in
Nottingham, VT, has one of the most
remarkable islands in the world within
its borders. The island is larger than
any farm in the neighborhood, contain
ing over $50 acres. Its pecuiiarities lie
in the fact that it daily shifts its posi-
ton, being first on the north
then on the south and again on
the east or west borders of the
lake. 1t is known as 1.-The Floating
Island" and has kept up its aberrant
voyage since time out of memory. 1t
has many trees upon its surface, some
of which are twenty to thirty feet in
height, besides an immense thicket of
cranberry bushes. 1t is rare that por-
ton of the island breaks off and sinks
to the bottom. and its stability has made
it favorite resort for picnickers and
others seeking an outing. Holes have
been cut through the crust and fish
caught, much after the fashion of catch
ing them through the ice in winter time.
