GEN. sHERMANs MONUMENT.
The Old Soldier Designed 1t Himself Not
Long Before His Death.

Work has been begun on the monu-
ment which has been designed by Gen.
Sherman himself to mark his grave in
Calvary cemetery, st. Louis. The
monument is being made by the New
England Monument company. A few
weeks before his death Gen. Sherman
called on Mr.. Garfield, OF the monu-
ment company, and explained his
views as to a proper monument to
mark his grave. A drawing was pre-
pared, and after it was somewhat mod
flied according to suggestions made by
the general he accepted it, saying he
would place it among his papers and
leave a request for his executors to
carry out the design. The monument
is to be made OF what is known as fine
hammered Westerly statuary granite
OF light color. 1t will be 4 feet inches
by 3 feet 8 inches at the base and 9
feet @ inches high, and made in three
sections. 1t is to stand beside the
granite cross which Gen. Sherman a
year ago erected to the memory OF his
wife

The Presidents Speeches.

Chicago News. independently Pres
ident Harrison is demonstrating anew
that he is master OF the art in making
short speeches.
While he was in the u. s. senate Mr..
Harrison was not i'm the habit of max
ing n few remarks on everything that
came up. lie did not take very ac-
tive part in the routine debates, but
usually reserved his energies for
speeches ofconsiderablel length. These
were able, but they had the fault ofbe-
ing too much like his colleague Voor-
hees' efforts; that is, they were rather
bombastic and suggestive OF dema-
gogy. They seemed out of place in the
senate. 1t was not until Mr.. Harrison
had been nominated for the presidency
that he developed an unexpected abil-
ity to condense his thoughts and give
them to the public in smaller and
pleasanter doses. The speeches he
made at his home in Indianapolis in
the course OF the campaign OF 1888
were llol ciS Siloll eto bio-C iC 10
ing now but in view of the fact that he
was then dealing in detail with national
issues they were models OF brevity.
He seemed to have initiated Mr.. Blain' s
oratorical methods with good results.
Since that time he has made many
speeches to gatherings ofvarious kinds
and it is noticeable that instead of be-
coming garrulous, as might have been
expected, he has acquired still greater
conciseness and simplicity.
On his present extended trip he has
displayed this trait OF breviloquence
to a marked degree. His addresses
have been of just about the right
length and the right kind. He has
said neither too much nor too little
On each occasion he has managed &c
please his audience in spite that up to
this time he has been speaking to peo
pie whose political views are radically
different from his own. He has made
no blunders. This is all the more re
markable when one reflects that his
talks in almost every instance touched
, upon some matter of general as wei
as local interest. Hecould easily hav'

A. M. Esler's Nerve.

About ten days ago the Independent
published the news OF the bonding of
the Dandy mine, on Toad mountain,
in the Kootenai country, by A. NJ.
Esler OF Helena for SITS, 900. Refer
ring to the transaction, the Spokane
Review has this to say:
Much has been said of the "nerve"
displayed by r. c. Chambers, of Salt
Lake, in purchasing the Ontario claim
at Park City, Utah, for $50, 900, when
all the work on the claim was a thirty
foot shaft. But that "nervy" trans
action is completely eclipsed by Mr..
Esler's ''nerve" in paying SITS, 1000
for the Dandy, a claim on which a
shaft has been sunk about forty feet
and tunnel run about the same dis
tance. OF course the Ontario at the
time of it's purchase was the best-look-
ing prospect in the camp in which it is
situated, and since has proved won
derfully rich mine, having paid up to
the 31st OF March no less than 17S
dividends, aggregatIng Sl1, 100000.
The Dandy is not the best-looking
mine in Toad mountain district, but
is the first westerly extension of the
silver Ming, now known TO De the
richest mine in America for the depth
attained. At "A depth of l62 leet over
81 100000 worth OF ore is exposed
more than was or is in sight in any
mine in America at the same depth.
A. Nj. Esler, the purchaser OF the
Dandy, is associated with Montana
men of large capital. 1t was he and
his associates who had the "nerve" to
take hold OF the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van mines at Wardner, Idaho, after
the properties had been rejected by
mining men in San Francisco, Denver,
Chicago and Omaha, as too low grade
proportions to work. Within ninety
days after taking hold OF these prop
critics he had a concentrator in opera
ton, and from that day the C9ur
d 'Alene country took rank among the
bullion producing camps of Idaho.
Within ninety days machinery will be
on the Dandy, and if coke can be got
| into the country a smelter will be in
operation within six months. This is
one of the reasons why the Miner has
asked the government to begin work
on the road from Nelson to Toad
mountain. The road must be built
before machinery can be placed on the
Dandy or the Iroquois or the Silver
King.

The Cattle Sale.

Bozeman Chronicle: Nelson Story
OF this city was in receipt of tele-
graphic offer OF twenty-five dollars per
head for his cattle one day last week.
He accepted the offer by telegraph,
and on Friday Matt Murphy of Miles
City, at the head of the Montana Cat
tie company, arrived in the city for
the purpose of closing the deal, but
has not done so as yet. Mr.. Murphy
represents one of the wealthiest and
most extensive cattle outfits in the
west. This company purchased the
Ashford herd recently, and 1T is said
has just closed a deal for Thos. Nc
Guirl's band. Story's herd is one OF
the best in the state and is said to
contain from eight to twelve thousand
cattle, many of them fine four, five
and six-year-old steers. Its isprobable
that if it is sold il will bring MIR. Story
$500, 900 in cash. Part of this band
has been grazing on the Crow reserva-
tion at a cost of fifty cents per head,
and only the difficulties which beset
Mr.. Story's efforts to keep his herd
there at any price makes him willing
to sell the herd, which was, when cattle
were cattle, the foundation OF his for,
tune.

CHOKED BY A PYTHON.
A Snake Charmer Barely Escapes Horrible
Death.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Prof. Henri Bel
mont of Paris, a snake charmer, was
all but choked to death at the Grand
Pacific hotel last night by python,
which he had taken to his room with
other reptiles in box. The occupant
of the room adjoining the professors s
was awakened by Belmont's cries for
help, and, with others, burst into the
apartment, where a horrible sight was
presented. Lying on the bed, his face
black from suffocation and his eyes
bulging from his head, lay the snake
charmer Around his body was tightly
coiled the king of snakes. The dia-
mond-shaped head was waving to and
fro and from the horrid mouth shot
the long black, forked tongue in anger.
The smaller snakes had disappeared
under the bed, where they were kissing
and squirming in heap. "Ontwis hees
tail, family whispered the half-choked
professor. "I'll grab his head while
you untwist his tall" shouted Clerk
Newberry, and with a spring he ecaught
the writhing serpent by the neck close
to the head. 1t took all the clerks
strength to untwist the steel coils o.
the reptile. When the arms of the
professor were free he grabbed the ser
pent and threw it into the box anc
quickly shut the lid. The python j.
about seven feet long. Belmont wa!
informed that the hotel was no mu
scum, and with his box be sought an
other hotel.

RETURN OF SENATOR POWER.
hontana's Senior Representative in Congress
Talks Interestingly.

Senator Thomas C. Power returned
home Friday night from Washington.
The senator is in remarkably good
health. but is glad to be again among
his old friends in Montana. Senator
Power stopped off for few days at
Chicago and Minneapolis on his way
west and had an enjoyable visit with
ex-senator Gilbert Pierce, OF South
Dakota, while in Chicago. Mr.. Pierce
is the new editor of the Chicago Tri-
bune. The senator will remain in Hell
ena about fortnight and then return
east for his wife, who remained behind
to select furniture for their handsome
residence on the West side. In speak
ing of Helena, he said it was to the in
terest of all to pull together and make
a united effort for the progress OF the
Capital City. The Burlington road, he
believed, would be sure to come TO
Helena before long, and it's coming
would be a great thing. The great
snow fall in the mountains the past
winter will be Of inestimabe benefit to
placer miners and farmers dependent
upon irrigation for their crop. Mon
tana cattle in the east are 30 per cent
higher than they were at this time last
year. This will be encouraging to
stockgrowers, and, with the mild
weather of last winter, which enabled
all stock to pull through in good con-
dition, stockgrowers ought to be happy
and prosperous. Owing to legislation
which the senator was mainly instru-
mental in passing, binding twine will
be from % to 33 per cent lower than
heretofore.
The country is in a flourishing CON
dltion. Farmers are getting better
prices for their grain than at any time
since the war Larger crops have
been planted, and everything seems to
indicate general prosperity. In regard
to President Harrison's trip, the SEN
ator says it is one every president
should make at least once during his
term. Congress ought to appropriate
money sufficient to defray the expenses
OF the Journey. The president does
not visit Helena on this trip for the
reason that he has been here several
times and is now travelling through a
region never before visited by him.
The senator is stopping at the Hell
ena, where he will remain during his
stay. When the new Power residence
at the base of Mount Helena is ready
for occupancy he will live there with
his family, when not attending to his
duties in the senate of the United
States. His new residence is one of the
finest in the state. 1t is built of ma
tive Montana porphyry, the same as
that contained in the Power block on
Main street, and is handsomely
trimmed with sandstone

HE Is NOT BROKE.
Director Leech Says Uncle Sam Has $685.
O00,000 Of Ready Cash Money.
He Scouts the Idea Of Any Present or Future
Lack Of Funds.

WAsHINGToS, April 27.-A Star re-
porter this afternoon asked the di-
rector of the mint for an explanation
OF the statement made by him that
there was an available cash balance OF
S35S, 100000 in the treasury. Leech
says he holds that gold and silver GER
tificates amounting to S495, 900, 900
represent trust money, that is, coin
that has been deposited by individu-
ais, and the government has issued
certificates to pay back the same on
demand Possibly the $1,000, 900
placed with the treasury by national
banks for keeping their currency in
good condition is trust money, but as
congress has just ordered the money
placed by national banks for retire
ment OF their circulation to Recovered
to conceive why this is any more
sacred. The remainder OF the money
in the treasury, some S35S, 900, 900,
Leech holds belongs absolutely to the
government. Prior to 1855, he says,
the available balance in the treasury
was always shown as the amount of
money which actually belongs to the
government. The S10O,000,0O0 in
gold, purchased by the sale OF bonds,
for resumption purposes, was always
included as portion of the available
balance prior to that date, and there
is no reason why it should not be.
Nor is there any reason why legal ten
der notes, issued in the purchase of
silver bullion, are any more a current
liability than other greenbacks. They
are the same class of legal tender
money. They are not silver money,
as people generally suppose. They are
issued, in the first place, in the pur-
chase OF silver bullion, but as they
come back into the treasury are re-
issued for all purposes.
The fact that the secretary is anxious
to convert all assets into the most
available form of money is no indica-
tion that there Is any shortage in
treasury funds. In accordance with
the act OF congress trade dollars, bull
ion and subsidiary silver coins will be
recoined as soon as new designs are
decided on. Whether the secretary
should decide to extend the AZ per
cents at the rate of 2 per cent would
simply be d business proposition. II
imagine the recent order suspending
purchase, and the policy OF the secre-
tary regarding the 4112s, arises more
from consideration of the fall of the
money market than any present or
anticipated lack OF funds"

MADE HIM GET INTO HIS HOLE.
Party Of Bozeman Boys Kill Bear and
Cap.ure the Cubs.
lBozeman Chronicle. I


On Monday afternoon a party OF
boys, among whom were the city herd
ers, in riding around over the reserva-
ton spied black bear and two cubs.
They were driven into the hole from
which they had just emerged for the
summer and rocks piled in front OF the
den to keep her bearship Gagged, or
rather caved, until the party couldg get
guns, for not one OF them had a
weapon. After securing a gun loaded
with buckshot, which was placed III
the hands OF Bert Stanley, the barrier
of rocks was taken down and the boys
waited for Mrs. Bruin. They did not
have to wait long, as the infuriated
bear came out with open jaws on the
run. She was received with the load
OF buckshot full in the face, whereupon
she retreated to her hole. Bert then
borrowed Bud Story's pistol, and by
hard work managed to squeeze him
self through the mouth OF the cave.
Once inside he had plenty OF room to
use his arms and proceeded to do so,
while the bear, mad with pain, snapped
and growled, and, if it had not been
blinded by the buckshot, would have
made short work OF Stanley. As it
was, however, the light from the
mouth of the cave permitted him to
take deadly aim, and with the first
shot at such close quarters the bear
was killed. The skin was then taken
and can now be seen at Benham's $
gun store. The bear was black one,
not overly large, but big enough to
make it warm for whole regiment of
unarmed boys if it had been so in
clined. The skin is quite valuable, the
hair being long and very thick. Two
cubs were found in the cave and were
taken to Kings ranch, where they will
be reared. The Chronicle has pub
lished a great many bear stories, but
for q true account of bear killing We
think this one goes little ahead of
anything yet in print. There are very
few people who care to enter the den
OF wounded bear. The prospect gen
orally is anything but inviting, but
Bozeman boys are schooled in danger
and it was as much pleasure TOR these
boys to chase a bear as IL would befor
an eastern boy to risk his neck at q
game Of loot ball.

Found a WOIf Pir.

As Barnard & Leas were excavating
yesterday morning for their new brick
block, after digging down through some
three feet Of did clay. where it was
supposed the bosom of mother earth had
never been disturbed, they suddenly
struck what at first appeared TO be a
stone wall. The oldest iuhabitant" was
consulted, and declared there had never
been building in that locality. Mean
time they kept on excayaiing, and con.
tinued the investigation. and finally it was
learned that away back in 1886 one w.
H Edwards had lived near this spot, and
as protection against the wolves, which
were very numerous and bold in those
early pioneer days in these western wilds,
had dug pit and constructed wolf trap
which in later years was filed with stone
and other rubbish and all was forgotten,
and three feet of clay had accumulated
thereon.
