They Ire Confident of the Ultimate success
OF Their Cause.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-This morn
ing's session of the woman suffrage con
vention was opened with prayer Ivy Alice
j. PIckler of 5, nth Dakota. The first
three addresses of the session were upon
the subject of the last South Dakota cam
paign. in which the question of woman
suffrage in that state was a failure. These
addresses were made by Emma Smith
Devce and Alice Picker of South Da-
kota, and Henry d. Blackwell of Massa-
chusetts. Mrs. Picker said the suffra-
gists' first reason for o success Vas that
they did not get votes enough to win.
The other reasons were not material. She
mentioned n number of reasons, however,
the most prominent being the fact that
there were three tickets in the field from
the highest to the lowest office in the
state. Under these circumstances the
friends of suffrage for ONE were timid
about taking up any new issue. This
campaign, she felt sure. laid the founda-
ton for ultimate success in South Dakota,
and that ut no distant day.

A SHOCKING MURDER.

"Buckshot," y Norwegian, Meets with q
Cruel Death.
Saws the Montana Democrat: LAST
Saturday William Parrot. residing on
Box Alder creek, brought in word Of the
killing of a Norwegian known as "Buck-
shot," but whose proper name at this
writing we have been unable to learn.

ascertain, are as follows: On Monday
night, February is, "Buckshot," who was
in the employ Of John Butterfield as a
sheep. herder, and William and Victor
Baker, half brothers of Butterfield,
were at Butterfeld's ranch, and a
dispute arose between the Bakers and
.Buckshot' as to the correct p%ronuncia'
ton of the word "Meagher;" some bad
words were exchanged between them,
when suddenly M Of the Bakers arose
and struck "Buckshot" over the head
with a heavy chair, the other striking
him with his ;.st at the same time, telling
him to the floor; at this juncture, it is
said, Butterfield interposed and stopped
the affair from going any farther; the
wounded man laid there without any
medical aid being summoned, or in any
manner receiving medical assistance until
Friday afternoon at 5 O'clock when he
expired from the injuries received in the
ARRAY.
Sheriff Sullivan left for the scene Sun
day, returning Tuesday night with Vic
tor Baker, the other brother having Sc
cured a horse from Butterfeld, ostensibly
for the purpose of going up to his camp
IN the mountains after his blankets, but
since leaving has not been seen nor heard
of. Tue sheriff left several parties on
the lockout for Baker, and Wednesday

New YORK. Feb. eileen. Samuel

been interviewed regarding the re-
ported purchase of the Chicago, St. Paul
& Kansas City by the Great Northern, in
in which Gen. Thomas and his asst GATES
are largely interested. Gen. Thomas ab-
solutely denied the story and made a very
significant statement, showing the status
of the Chicago, Burlington & Northern
in which President Hill, of the Great
Northern, is known to be largely inter-
ested. The statement by Gen. Thomas
Is also considered to indicate close rela-
ions between the entire Burlington sys-
tenn and the Great Northern. He said:
I'VE do not need the Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City in order to secure ar en-
trance to Chicago for North western lines,
IS we already possess a line to Chicago,
with valuable terminals, in connection
with the Chicago, Burlington g. Quincy.
We have been In possession OF this ter
minal for SIX months or more. As
to the extension of the Great Northern,
the work Is progressing constantly toward
the Pacific coast. President Hill is now
in Europe, and it may be that he is plac-
Ing bonds for future use. We have more
than enough money to do all the extern
sion work that can be accomplished dur
Ing the next year. We raised this money
through the Barings before the panic, and
were lenders Of $8,000,0OO to $S,OOO,O 900
on the street during the stringent times.
1t WAS loaned by Kidder, Peabody e. Co.
for US. We are now building from a
point this side of Helena to Spokane

plete that portion of our line. From
there we will probably continue on to
Seattle, and Mr.. Hill may be negotiating

five of the fifteen bondsmen of ex.County

237 of the latter's defalcation during
four years of his office ending January
80 last. The complaint is verified by the
present county treasurer, Ro' ert Pa,ten.
1t is more than likely the amount will be
paid over to the county without u contest,
although there IS a rumor that some of
the bondsmen claim deficits III the bond
and consequently cannot be held liable.
II it understood that the bondsmen
realized nothing on the property con-
veyed to them, for the reasons that va

TuberculOs.
TuberculO

g
TuberculOs.
BERLIN, Feb. 27.-PrOfessor Liebreich
at a meeting of the Berlin medical So
ciety, at which he described his new
method of treating tubercul0s, is by in
jections under the skin of a solution of
cantharidate of potash, dwelt o n the fact
there was no pain or subsidiary disturb
ing effect, and that improvement was re-
markable and rapid. Large doses, said
the professor, irritated the kidneys
slightly, but not a%larn,ingly. DIR. Herman
spoke in praise of the harmless nature of
the new remedy, saying its effects were
easily borne by patients who had been
subjected to its influence. Professor
Liebreich replying to criticisms which
have been made upon the new system of
incubation, said 1t was not specific against
tuberculosis, but he claimed 1t acted
upon all diseased tissues having reduced
the power of resistance by producing
serious transudation. The professor de-
tailed the prescription for the preparation
of the new solution as follows: Two.
tenths of a grammsO f cantharidine. four
tenths of u gramme of hydrate of potash,
or three-tenths of a gramme of hydrate
of maroon. These ingredients. says Pro-
fpssOr Liehreich, should he diluted with
twenty cubic ceutimetres OF water and
then warmed in a water bath until a clear
solution Is obtained. While wal NTH is
maintained the water should he gradu-
ally added until II reached the mark,
when the solution becomes cold. Cold
water should be added until the whole
amounts to exactly one litre,
