1t is not such an easy matter to
decide, when one considers there
are upwards of a dozen stocks OF
clothing in Helena, and the un-
wary, or the customer not posted,
isss liable to drop into a. store
where their neighbor can buy
much cheaper, because they
question the price. All will agree
that a business house that would
sell you a suit for $1o after an
effort to get Sis would rob you
of IS if you cid not ward them
off in stating these facts. We
appeal to the public: (which

senSer train on the Santa Fe road was held
up tonight about 1880 by five masked men.

torious Dalton boys who have been seeu in
this neighbot hood recently They boarded
the tram at Whorton and detached the
engine and express car and proceeded two
miles south and robbed the express car OF
al the money it contained. II is believed
That the amount stolen is not very large.
Passengers were not molested, but more
frightened lot cannot bo imagined. The
bandits informed them when they procee d
cd on the engine and express car that they
were to remain with the coaches in order TO
secure themselves. They obeyed.

CROP REPORT.
In Uniformly Good Condition Throughout

WAsmaaroN, May 9--The condition of
winter grain on tho first dny Of May, re-
ported by tho statistioian Of tho departments
of agriculture, was an follows: Wheat 070,
rye 97.2, barley 9G.2. This is an ndvanca In
wheat of one point during April and quite
ns much in rye. The uniformity Of condl.
tion is somewhat remarkable no atRts nv
crage being lower thah 93. The condition
of moving lnnda is also high, averaging ~.
ranging from 30 to 100. The average for
spring pasture Ia 9S, ranging from 13 ~
100, except n drop in Utah to 10, and
In New Mexico TO S3. The eastern
slope of tho Rocky mountains comes within
four or five points OF full condition and
the Pacific coaat is near tho maximum.
The progress of spring plowinR has been
greatly retarded by excess OF moisture IN
central and southern belts, the proportions
planced being reported at 6s.a per cent.
The average for several previous years has
been n per cent. The eastern states report
favorable conditions for spring work and
fair progress to date. In all southern states
it has been delayed by heavy rains and later
by drought, which rendered plowing ditil-
cult and imperfect. In the Ohio valley ex-
cess of moisture delayed plowing through
March and interfered with its progress In
some place during the first two weeks OF
April. Work has progressed rapidly since.

had the best of the fight up
to the twentieth round, when the

the thirty-third round White was quite
weak and G oggy. After that he took
fresh courage. but up to the irty-fourth

is generally believed that early fruits were

high winds with frosts did some
injury to wheat oats, barley and fruits.
Reports from Michigan are conflicting as
to the damage to fruit by frost, while in
Ohio the damage is estimated at from
thirty 10 eighty per cent. In Kentucky all
fruits suffered severely. Grapes were
ruined. and many gardens have to he re-

cherries were slightly damaged by rain,
but other crops are vastly improved. In
Oregon, the weather has been beneficial,
but more rain is needed. East of the Cas-

BECAME PANIC-sTRICK EN-.

Precipitate Adjournment of the Reichstng
to Prevent Bismarck's Appearance.
Copyright, 1891, New York Associated Press
BERLIN, May 9.--The reichstag to-day
finally passed the sugar bill by vote of
159 to 126 and approved the spirit taxation
amendment bill. The house then adjourned
until November II, after giving three cheers
for the emperor. The week was full of
legislative work. The trade regulation bill,
which had been before the house for year,
was passed by large majority. The only
opponents were socialists. Tho closing tus-
sci over the sugar bill arose from an amend
ment offered by members of tho center
party providing for consumption tax of
eighteen marks to be levied and that boun-
ties be gradually abolished within five
years, one and one-quarter marks being
given during the first three years and one
mark for the following two years The
sugar members warmly opposed the amend
ment Chancellor Won Caprivi supported
the proposal and declared that if the
amendment was rejected the government
would bring i'll bill next year which would
make provision for a transition period for
the abolition of tho bounty. Upon this
declaration the opposition gave way.
The act of the Brussels anti-slavery con-
ference was also adopted. Talk in lobby
attributed the expedition with which the
reichstag closed to feals of the eovt rnment
of the sudden appearance of Bismarck i'll
the house with bombshell utterance
against the Austro-German commercial
treaty. the governments labor measures,
and it's general international policy. Dep
utieG Stumm and Knudsdorf went to Frcid-
erichsruhe Wednesday with the object of
asking the prince what his intentions are.
Bismarck advised energetic opposition
to the sugar bill, and promised to
governments projects when he took his
the leader of any party. His sympathy re-
manned with the old cartellers. and it
grieyed him to see the former coalition
broken and factions attacking each other.
The tenor of The princes speech confirms
predictions regarding his attitude in the
reichstag. The prince wants to form a
coalition of conservatives and national
liberals against the government. The en-
peror's perception of coming danger melted
him to give expression to his stand on
his speech at Dusseldorf. which was an out
spoken menace against systematic opposi-
tlon. Papers differ over the exact words
used by his ma jesty on that occasion. The
accepted version makes him say, after re-
ferring to the opponents of his labor and
commercial policy, zone alone is master in
this country 1t is |. None other shall |
suffer near me.'' The official version of the
speech was modified after days of minis
terial deioe,ation. On this authorities are
trumpe ing. but the words remain and they
will abide branded in the memory of the
nation.
