Nelson, the Great Stallion, Beats His own
and the Worlds Record
KANKAKEE, ILL.,, Sept. 26.-A large
crowd witnessed today's racing on the
kite-shaped track of the Kankakee driv-
ing park. The weather was COOL and the
track perfect. Nelson, the great stallion
from Maine, trotted to beat his own re-
cord and the worlds stallion record of

Messrs. Fl. F. Mark, A. T. Furney and
H. H. Kreasler, from Pennsylvania, have
have bought through Thos. Gahagan, the
property occupied by the Merchants
restaurant. The lot is 25x150 feet on
Central avenue and the price paid was
S11, 900 cash or $40 per front foot. This
is the highest price ever paid for real es-
tate in Great Falls, yet in view of the
splendid location and the rapid growth

Crushed Unaer the Wheels.

HELENA, Sept. 29.-Chas. Lawson was
crushed and maugled in a terrible man
ner in the Northern Pacific yards about
1O:3O Sunday morning, and yet so sudden
was his taking off that although two men
were within a few feet Of him. no one
knew Of the accident till the jolting Of
the cars going over his body suggested
the idea that a man might be under the
wheels. Lawson was a brakeman and
was standing on the end II a car to which
some couplings we're being made. lhe
Jar Of the engine striking the car caused
him to lose his balance and fall. When
found he was lying on his face q TOUT
cars and the engine had gone over nis
body Just shout the waist, cutting him in
halves. Lawson was a sober, Industrious
Swsde and had been employed abontthe
Northern Pacific yards about a year.

How Long! o How Long!

The report of poor mail sevice between.
Great Falls, Barker and Neihart,, seems
to attract no attention from the officials.
The office has been removed from
Mann's to Barnum's, a distance of one
hundred yards, and the driver of the
stage refuses to stop at Barnum's for
mail. Thus it accumlates at Mann's for
weeks and is passed on to the camps only
when some ranchman or traveller takes 1t.
This state of affairs IS an outrage on the
people of that region. The TRIBUNE has
discarded the use of the mail service to
those points and finds the seml-weekly
train to Monarch more reliable.

A Bright and Breezy Batch of Items
From One of Our Great Mining
Camps.
Especial correspondence of the T%RrBuNr.l
NE1HART, Mont, Sept, 81, 1890.
General activity prevails in our camp,
the CHATTER Of carpenters hammers can
be heard in all directions. A small sem
sation was occasioned by DR.. Mccain
commencing to build a house on a lot he
bought from the Compromise company.
Mr.. Muller, our county commissioner,
entered a complaint against the doctor for
obstructing the county road. A warrant
was issued and he was arrested and taken
before Ju:tice Choate, who held him to
appear at Dull mex term of the district
court and fixed his bond in the sum of
$500. The doctor refused to give the
bond and was sent to the county Jail. He
is nov on his way to Livingston, being
taken before Judge Henry on a writ of
habeas corpus. So ends the first chapter.
Very few loungers or idle men to be
seen about our streets or saloons, there is
work for all who are inclined that way.
But there appears to be enough laborers
at present to supply the demand. A
goodly number of strangers are coming
in who appear to have an eye to business,
and all of whom appear to be pleased
with the outlook.
The owners of mining claims-not pat
ented-are now doing their yearly repre-
s%entation work, and we hear almost daily
Of large bodies of ore being discovered
in the old locations in places where they
were not known to exist.
A Mr.. Van Arnsda,e, from Aurora, Ill.,,
came in yesterday. He Is making Ii gen,
eral examination of the mines. | have
heard it is his intention to put in a smell
ter here.
The new Frisco hotel will open for
business October 1st with a grand ball.
Registration Of voters is progressing
slowly. Very little interest appears to
be manifested in the election, but there
is time enough yet to start the pot to
boiling. No me appears to be particu-
larly grateful to Mr.. Carter for what he
has done in congress for this part of Mon
tana. NEIHART.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The investiga-
ton into the charges preferred against
Postmaster Wheat by Representative
Enloe was continued today and a large
number of witnesses examined. The
most important testimony was given by
VIM. e. Bradley, who said he was &C.
quainted with Postmaster Wheat; had
never performed any work as clerk in
the house, but had been sworn in as mes
senger. Young Wheat had come to his
house and asked him if he wanted to
make some money by being sworn IN
place Of a man who was expected in a
few-days. This mans name was Denney.
He was simply to have his name on the
roll, Wheat doing the work. Wheat told
him he would not even have to come to
the office and would receive $5 for his
trouble In being sworn In. This was
early in March. At the end of
March he drew something over
sixty dollars, all of which
except IS he turned wei to Walter
Wheat. Young Wheat also got Repre-
sentative Caswell to endorse his applica-
ton for a place in the government print
ing office. At the end Of April he was
still on the rolls in place of another mar
named Hall. This time he drew SOC. 81.
In accordance with the wish of young
Wheat he kept this money for o week.
He then settled with young Wheat. There
was some discussion as to what sum he
should keep. Wheat wanted to pay him
$5, while he thought he should have one
half. AT this time Postmaster Wheat
was present and suggested to Walter that
he get G'aswell to withdraw his endorse
ment of witness application. The mat
ter was finally settled by his retaining
$40 Of the money. Finally he wa dis
charged by the postmaster.
Representative Caswell, representing
Wheat, called the attention of the com
mittee to the act making an appropriation
for the house posnfice and commended
that Its phrascology gave to the postmaster
absolute right to $4,000 appropriated for
carrying mails.
]. E. Raven, an employee of the house
%postotice, testified that Culbertson told
him he had paid Wheat over 800, and
that at the time of the publication Of GER
tain charges in the newspapers concern
ing Wheat, young Wheat had come to his
(Culberuson's) house and on his knees
had begged him to take back 800 and
turn il over to o third party. Walter
Wheat, the postmaster's son, then took
the stand. He testified that he did most
of the work for which Bradley was paid
and was entitled to the money he re-
ceived, W

R. G. DUN & CO.'S REPORT.
The Commercial and Manufacturing Inter
ests of the Country In Good Condition.

The Commercial and Manufacturing Inter-
ests of the Country in Good Condition.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-R. G. Dun u
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Liquidation in nearly all kinds Of specu-
lation comes to disappointment of many,
in connection with largely increased sup
plies of money, and prepares the way for
healthier trade in all Legitimate branches.
With lower prices there appears decided
improvement in exports of products, and
the decrease for the past three weeks is
now only ~ per cent, comparing
with last year. Imports are much en-
larged by effort to get goods into the
country before the new tariff goes into
effect, but the current accounts of each
increase are exaggerated; the value of
all imports for three weeks has been but
15h per cent. above last years record.
Considerable increase appears in woolens,
linens, silk and other dry goods, but
there is fair prospect that merchandise
exports will now exceed in value the i'm
ports for the month. Grain does not
move freely as yet, but exports of cotton
exceeds last years materially, and pro-
visions move in large quantities.
Reports from other cities show re-
markable activity in all branches OF lesi-
innate trade. The excess of bunk clear
ings over those of corresponding weeks
last year, in all cities outside of New
York, rises to sixteen per cent for month
thus far, and at western and southwest
ern points the gain averages about twen-
ty-three per cent. Though money is
very active at most points, and rather
stringent at many, the volume Of business
does not seem to be anywhere curtailed
thereby, and reports as to collections are
much more favorable than usual. Great
industries, as reports already cited show,
are decidedly active, mill manufac-
turer having especially improved, with
much more satisfactory orders. Cotton
manufacture is sustained by a large de
mand for goods and the numerous minor
industries expected change of duties Ia
said to be the basis Of greater activity
Iron is more firm at Philadelphia, and Is
not much pressed for sale here, though
some Chicago sales in this region are re-
ported, but the demand for bar increases
with advance in price, and plate and
structural mills are crowded, though
steel rails arc still inactive, Some i'm
movement Is also reported in coal. There
has been much liquidation in stocks
without serious decline in prices or any
excitement.
The business failures occurring dur
ing the last seven days number 219 az
compared with 100 last week. For thu
corresponding week last year the figures
uunro 100 -Nf.

A HISTORICAL SICKLE.

There will he placed on exhibition
in Concord in few days, AT the Office
Of William GeatOn. says the Man
chester, y. II. Mirror, a sickle which
mas been i'm the possession Of the de-
sceudanlS Of Captain John Locke for
nearly zoo years On account OF its
great value as relic George Locke
Of this city, in whose family it has
been kept for many wears, has had it
mounted in handsome oak case, to-
gcther with portrait Of his Grand
father, William Locke. who was the
grandson of Captain Locke. and will
present it to the New Hampshire His
torical society. The following de-
scriptiOn will explain the part taken
by this sickle in the thrilling Indian
warfare Of the early history of the
state:
This sickle was broken in com bat
with Indians and presented to the
New Hamps hire Historical Society at
Concord, 1880, by George Locke, of
Manchester, New Hamshire, the
grandson Of William Locke, who
was the great-grandsOn of Capt. John
Locke. This is the instrument with
which Capt. Locke fought his last
battle against eight Indians, who
ambushed themselves in his field on
JOseIym's Neck in Rye, now known
as Straw's Point. The Indians came
upon and killed him August %, 1890,
he being 20 years old"
Another account says a boy was
with him, who secreted himself under
bundles of grain and escaped. Capt
Locke, after being shot, partially cut
off the nose of an Indian with his
sickle. The sickle was kept in the
family of William Locke, the fourth
son of Capt. Locke. Afterward it fell
into the possession of William, the
great-grandsOn of Capt. Locke. The
great-grandsOn removed from Rye to
EPSON in 1850, thence to Alexandra
in 1908. George Locke, who has lived
for many years in this city, has never
shown the sickle to any one, and it
was not until friends convinced him
of its great value that he thought OF
presenting it to the Historical society.
