night from r.. w. Page, who is in charge
of the party, apprising him that George
Freeman, one Of the chainmen, had been
drowned in Milk river. The news was
sent from Harlem. MIR. Page says the
party is camped at a point on the river
about nine miles from Harlem and there
is but little water in the stream. The bed
of the river is mostly q~uicksand and the
only way Mr.. Page a account for the
drowning IS that the man attempted to
cross and went down in the sand before
he could be rescued. Freeman, the
drowned man, was a young Englishman
about twenty. one years of age. The party
had just finished running the eighth
standard parallel meridian from Conrad
to a point neal Malta, a distance of about
1870 miles, and is now at work running
section and township lines in Choteau

Continued discussion brought out the
fact that no grade had been established

Suicide or Hoax?

H. W. Krans of Craig informs the
TRIBUNE that some men whom he had
employed driving timber in the Missouri
river about a mile above Hardy, found a
corked bottle floating in AZ eddy. In
the bottle was q note which contained
the following message:
"Any person finding this note will
please notify my wife of my death.
Geo. NJ. Hartman, Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr.. Kraus sent the note to the mayor
of Cleveland with a request for him to
find out if there had been such a person
there.
Nobody Of that name has been seen in
that part of Montana so far as is known
and the origin of the startling message
is wrapped in mystery. Evidently the
bottle and note are the trick of some
practical joker or Hartman committed

Mr.. Hill Expresses Surprise and Pleas
ure at the Rapid Growth Of
the Cataract City.

President James j. Hill of the Great
Northern railway, accompanied by d. G.
Shepard, Peter Stems and Mr.. Barney, of
the Barney, Smith Il c.. manufacturing
company, left st. Paul by special train
Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock and arrived
her. at 1880 p. M. Wednesday, making
the trip in SO consecutive hours, includ-
ing all stops for fuel, water, etc. The
run from Glasgow here was made Ia
seven hours and from Benton in a little
less than one hour. Engineer Smith
brough the train through from Minot
and Conductor Hulett was in charge
from Glasgow to this city. This record
OF long distance running is hard to beat,
and it shows what may he done on the
Great Northern with its splendid track
and easy grades. Some Of these days
the regular lightning v%estibuled express
will make this time.
On arriving here the party was met by
Mr.. Paris Gibson and soon afterwards
they proceeded to the falls to note the
progress VI eNcIlS ~ budt plhCc. AL
were deeply impressed with the immen-
sity and Importance of the work at the
Black Eagle Falls, both on the great
dam and the Boston u Montana smelter.
Mr.. Hill, who knows all about water
power, inspected the dam closely and ok
pressed his satisfaction with the progress
made and the durable character of the
work.
, Returning to the city the distinguished
party lost no time in preparing for a trip
over the Belt mountains railroad to the
end of the track and the mines of Barker
and Neihart. They were joined by Mr..
Paris Gibson, c. o. Parsons, and j.. T.
Arlington and left for the mountains
about 6 O'Clock las, evening. 1t is expect
ed they will visit the mines today and re-
turn to the city tonight.
MIR. Hill noted with surprise and evil
pent pleasure the rapid growth and i'm.
provement of Great Falls and doubtless
made some mental calculations as to what
would be the advancement and popula-
ton five years hence. Not being a mind
reader we are unable to reproduce these
mental figures.
On their return to this city the party
will continue their journey to Helena
and Butte. The fact that Mr.. Hill is &C.
companied by D. c. Shepard and Peter
Stems, the great railroad builders, is in
itself an indication that work on the
western extension is soon to begin.

A Good Opinion of Great Falls.

MIR. M. L. Kelly, Mrs. j. A. Yore'sf faith
or, arrived from st. Louis yesterday and
will remain several days. Mr.. Kelly Wis
tied Benton five years ago when Nj. Glib
sons scheme of founding a town on the
present site of Great Falls was looked up
OF as a wild scheme. He is greatly sur
prised at the wonderful changes which
five years have wrought. He is a large
property holder IN st. Louis and believes
in the stability of real estate values in
manufacturing centers. Such a point
Great Falls promises to be within five
years and parties who invest now will
profit thereby.

the brick yard, are making rapid progress
with the work. They have a large force
of men employed and are pushing
the construction. The plant will
be 70x1O0 feet and will cost about $4,000.
Few u citizens realize the size and i'm
pOrtance of an establishment of this kind
or that they will soon be able to drink
homemade of the best quality.

BEN Buffers advice to Mr..
Parnell is to take the first opportu-
nifty to rise in the house of COM
mons, tell the story of his entan-
clement with Mrs. O'Shea and then
finish in the language of the Savior,
"Let him that is without sin cast
the first stone" It is singular,
but SO far as we remember Ben has
always carefully refrained from fol-
lowing his own advice when people
charged him with SINS Of various
sorts. He never "fessed up" On
the contrary, Ben used to hire a
private detective to scout around
and find out the peccadilloes ofhis
enemies, and when he had 'em well
cornered he would rise and charge
'em with twenty sins to one they
had conjured up against him, and
prove 'em. But a mans practice
is very frequently different from
his preaching. Ben always sus-
pected that if he should get up and
invite his fellow congressman who
we're without sin to heave a rock at
him, they would Immediately let
fly the rocks, sin or no sin. So he
never took the chances.-Lincoln

The statement of the condition
of the state and private banks of
Nebraska at the end of June, 1889
and on October Is, 1890, shows a
fair growth of business during the
fifteen months, the increase in
loans and discounts during that
period having been about two mil
lion dollars, while the resources in
creased over one million. The &C
count Of general deposits shows a
gain of nearly three million dollars,
the surplus fund was somewhat in
creased, and generally the state
ment of liabilities is more favora-
BILE for the latter than the former
date. The new banking law ap-
pears to have worked well, and
thus far none of the reasons urged
in opposition to it have been iusti-
fed by results. It is believed that
Nebraska now has as safe and we'll
regulated a banking system as any
in the country, and all hat seems
to be required is that it shall con-
tinue to be faithfully enforced.

LEAVING out all questions Of ex-
pediency, it is supreme nonsense
to assert that there is none to take
the place Of Parnell as leader Of
the Irish parliamentary party. Re-
gard for Parnell, even that which
amounts to blind idolatry, is no
justification for sighting the abil-
tiles of William O'Brien, John
Dillon, Michael Davitt, Justin Nc
earthly and others that might be
named. The father of the land
league has shown himself capable
Of successful generalship. O'Brien
and Dillon have each conducted
campaigns in Ireland without the
aid or encouragement of Parnell,
and by their commanding force, in
genuity and dash outwitted the
power Of the government with its
trained machinery, and displayed
in a marked degree the elements Of
leadership. Justin Mccarthy is
not as aggressive as either of these,
but he is a statesman, Of broad
mould; conservative, yet forceful,
brilliant without pyrotechnics, and
fully capable Of u~pholding the
home rule cause. If the Irish party
will give either Of these men the
confidence reposed in Parnell, their
record is sufficient guaranty that
the aspirations Of Ireland will be
vigorously and faithfully pushed
to victory.-Bee.

A BILL extending the right of
suffrage to women at all elections
has been passed by the Oklahoma
House of Representatives, and it is
likoly to go through the Council,
as it will have a number Of able
champions in the Upper House.
Equal suffrage appears to be more
popular in the newer states and ter
ritories than in the older sections
of the country which have been set
tied for many years. This may be
explained upon the ground that So
cial pleasures present stronger al
lurements to women than politics,
as their interest in public affairs
seems to decrease in an exact ratio
to the multiplication of the COM
forts and refinements which comes
with the increase of wealth and the
rogress of civilization.

PETITIONS are said to be in cir
culation all over the state asking
the Legislature to pass a law plac-
ing the moneys collected from fines
and licenses into the general fund
Of the counties in which they are
collected, instead of the school
fund of the cities and towns. It
has been a common complaint
among the farmers for several
months that they r obliged to
pay more than their share of the
expense Of furnishing criminals,
while the cities absorb the even.
ues arising from the liquor bust
ness. Before insisting upon a leg
%islative enactment changing the
disposition Of the funds it will be
well to take a look at the state con-
stitution. Section 5 Of article
VIII is as follows: Call fines,
penalties and license moneys ar1s-
ing under the general laws of the
state shall belong and be paid over
to the counties, respectively, where
the same may be levied or impos-
ed, and all fines, penalties and
license money arising under the
rules, bylaws or ordinance of cities,
villages, towns, precincts or other
municipal subdivisions less than a
county shall belong and be paid
over to the same respectively. All
such fines, penalties and license
moneys shall be appropriated ex-
clusively to the S and support of
common schools in the respective
subdivisions where the same may
accrue" If the present arrange
ment is to be attacked, therefore,
it must de done by a constitutional
amendment and not a Legislative
enactment. And should the mat
ter be brought before the people it
will be an easy matter for them to
between the two systems

PROFESSOR LANES report of the
condition of Nebraska schools
shows the steady growth of the
state. The increase in the enroll
ment since 1888 is nearly twenty
five thousand and in the number OF
school buildings $50. Expendi-
lures have also increased by $780,
900. An interesting figure in the
statistics Of the schools is the num-
Der of sod and log houses. Hun
dreds of these are in use and they
have considerably increased in
number during the last two years.
This is good evidence that the from
tier is not yet wholly a thing of
the past in Nebraska. Whether or
not we have any Lincolns or Gar
fields in embryo, we ri sure at
least hat we have the sort of era
dies in which greatness has often
rocked heretofore.
