EDWARD r. CROSBY'S WILL,

He Refers with Much Severity to His
Wife's Hatred.
The Helena Independent prints the
will of E. F. Crosby, who committed sui
eide recently in that city. 1t is note
worthy that the will is Of recent date, in
dicating that he may have had suicidal
intentions before the fatal day. He writes
with much bitterness of his wife and yet
makes her father one of the executors.
The document is as follows:
l, Edward Floyd Crosby, of the city of
Helena, county of Lewis and Clarke,
Montana, being of sound and disposing
and memory, do make, publish and de-
clare this to be my last will and tesla
ment, so follows, that is TO say:
First, l direct my executors hereinaf-
ter named, as soon as possible after my

funeral expenses.

the property and estate of which I may
die seized or possessed, or to which l
may be entitled, whether real, personal
or mixed, CT whatsoever nature or kind,
and wheresoever the same may be or be
situated at the time of my decease, to my
daughter, Margaret Floyd Crosby, her
heirs, executors, administrators and as
signs absolutely forever. The purpose
and object Of leaving my property to her.
| hereby declare to be that my wife,
Jane Eliza Brewer Crosby, shall have as
little as possible of my estate, only taking
that portion which the law gives and al
lows her and which l cannot will away
from her, she having declared to me on
many occasions during the last 10 months
that she hated me and wished for nv
death, and more lately IN the presence Of
a witness that she would be delighted to
leave me forever.
Lastly: l hereby nominate the Right
Reverend Leigh r. Brewer, bishop of
Montana, and William B. Crosby, of 1870
Broadway, New York city, executors Of

THE Pioneer proee continues to de-
nounce unsparingly :the Mckinley bill.
1t says: "The people of the country, and
especially of the west, have no use for a
policy whose cardinal principle is the
absolute prohibition of imports and the
destruction of u foreign trade. McKin-
leyism is not acceptable in their sight.
And the passage of this tariff bill is a
stroke of luck for the democratic party.
1t is an argument which its nag
will use, not without effect, IN their ap-
peals to the farmer and the working
man; and the men who voted "aye" on
wednesday will feel, both in their per-
sonal and their party fortunes, the conse-
quences of their error. The senate will,
we have no doubt, stand between the
country and the Mckinley bill; 1t will
take care that the republican party is not
1rretrievably committed to this mistaken
and inexcusable policy. But even its
wlsest action can scarcely repair the eg-
regious error of the lower house." At
last accoun the senate had come to the
conclusion that it would not undertake
TO revise the bill thoroughly, but would
allow the house to bear the burden of II.
The senate is really as weak-kneed as the
house and is trimming sails for the com
ing storm,

IN Boston, the greatest wool market in

very choice and light sold as received for

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1880.
VESTS REPORT.

Senator Vest may have done his bes
for the stockmen, but they will not derive
much comfort from the practical sugges
tons in the report of his committee.
Senator Vest first asks that efforts be
made to induce England to abolish he,
inspection flaws. These laws protec,
British cattle more effectually than a
high tariff and are not likely to be aban-
doned. The British stockmen are con.
WINGED that the dressed meat competition
is keen enough without adding to it the
Montana steer in all his native vigor.
The national inspection which the com
mittee also suggests at places of export
will not remove the objections of British
stockowners. Many of them will hon.
estly distrust the efficiency of such in
spection and all will find pretexts for ex-
GLIDING u herds.
The committee also suggest that all
discrimination against improved cattle
cars should be removed so as to place
live cattle and dressed meat on an equal
basis as regards transportation.
1t seems that after all the noise and
buster which the investigating commit
tee made it is unable to devise any plan
that will enhance the value
OF live stock. At this late
hour, congress is not likely even to con-
slider seriously the proposed plans. Mon
tana s~tock.owners must rely upon them
selves for such measures as will enhance
the value Of their herds and flocks. Con-
gressional committees cannot be relied on
to speak out boldly and Independently or
demolish the combinations which depress
the price of cattle and raise that of meat.

What 1t Costs

Must be carefully considered by the great
majority Of people, in buying even ne
cessities of life. Hoods Sarsaparilla
commends itself with special force to the
great middle classes, because it combines
positive economy with great medicine
power. 1t is the only medicine of which
can truly be said 400 Doses for One
Dollar" and a bottle taken according to
directions will average to last a month.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflsmed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infsmed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, ard unless the infamation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its ror-
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an Unfair
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrb) }
that We cannot cure by taking Halls Ca.

LOfIeFY's Last Leg

The recent action of the Adams and
United States express companies in
issuing instructions to their agents to
decline receiving any more Louisiana
lottery business must satisfy the most
sceptical believer in the force of pub
lie opinion that the days of the lottery
are numbered, and that before It's
present charter expires its franchises
will be comparatively worthless, Mr..
Damsel, manager of the Adams Ex-
press Company ofSt. Louis, who is
just back from the first regular meet
ing of the board of management since
the lottery act passed by congress
went into effect, said yesterday,
when asked by reporter,
In reference to the matter:
"Yes, the board decided that all
lottery business must be excluded from
our Offices, and Issued Instructions
that our agents should conform their
actions in regard to the lottery bust
ness according to the rules and regnla-
lions of the post office department.
We shall pos lively decline all lottery
business, although in 30 doing We sac
riGce large patronage. The compa-
ny's action is based on the high moral
ground that whatever is decided to be
injurious to public morals and good
government should be condemned
alike by all. The United States ex-
press company has taken the same
stand that we have, but do not know
what action, if any. has been taken
by the American express company"
