Montana Exhibits.
The Misscula Gazette.

1 AC AIlSSCultl ottACCtC.
Hon. Waiter NJ. Bickford says
that the timber exhibit for Montana
at the Worlds Fair is going to be
something very creditable. G. E
Woodwork, the timber man Of the
Northern Pacific, is going to take a
hand and in addition to some beau
tiful specimens and will prepare a
monograph on the subject in con
nection with the exhibit. He is
probably as well equipped for the
work as any man in the state.
The world will also be able to
see what Montana can do in the
way of fruit growing. By the use
Of a liquid preparation recently
invented the fruit will be preserved
in large jars in way to retain
their color, size and freshness and
it is believed that Montana's ex-
hibit of cherries, apples and p]umbs
raised on irrigated ground will ex-
ceed that Of any other state.

IME-MUSEUM MAGAZINES.

Mrs. James 6. Blaine, jr., testified
on the stand in Deadwood that a
magazine-publisher has offered her
$500 for an article on Marriage
and Divorce" That fact gives a
startling idea of the dime museum
plan on which some of the alleged
'leading magazines" are run. The
leading competition between them is
to get articles, reviews, essays, any
thing of any kind from people who
are for the time notorious. For the
merit of the article they care little or
nothing, provided it has a notorious
name signed to it. 1t happened not
long ago that a gentleman who had
studied subject for forty years,
who in that time had written many
hundreds of columns on it, who had
exerted a far-reaching influence in
America, but had preferred to do his
work without securing notOriety,
sent an article to leading ma gazine.
The editor wished to publish it; it
was timely, he had seen nothing on
the subject SO good, but he had
engaged articles from celebrities for
months ahead, and by the time they
were used the article from the
genuine expert would cease to be
timely That is the dime-museum

SACRED RELIC OF SHILOH.

Mr.. William Quinn, now connected
with the Post-office Department in
this city, has just received prayer
book which he prizes more than any
thing else in his possession. The book
belonged to his father, Col. F. Quinn,
Twelfth Michigan Regiment. On the
fy-leaf is this inscription: "Col. F..
Quinn, from Mary, March II, 1862"
It was presented to Col. Quinn by his
wife when he entered the war be-
tween the states. 1t was picked up
on the battlefield of Shiloh, April 6,
1862, by w. A. Pyles, a confederate
soldier, and by his brother, Willis c.
Pyles, presented to John Ingram
Bivouac Association Of ex-Confeder-
ate Veterans.
A notice Of the book and its his
tory was published in some of the
papers, and this notice was sent to
Mr.. William Quinn by friend. Mr..
Quinn wrote to a member OF the
John Ingram Bivouac stating that
the prayer-book belonged to his
father, and asking thati it be forward
ed TO Washington. He received the
book yesterday. Col. Quinn died
several years ago. His wife survives
him. II Washington Post.

ROUGH FUNERAL WEA TIER.

A Washington dispatch of a
recent date says: Representa- tive
Belknap, who has returned from
Kentucky, whittier he accompanied
the congressional committee appoint
ed to attend the funeral of the late
Congressman Kendall, tells a re-
markab1e story of the hardships en-
countered by the committee in
reaching the home of the dead con-
gresham.
The late Mr.. Kendall resided at
Liberty, KY, 80 miles from Moore
head, the nearest railroad station
Arriving at Moorehead, the party
took carriages and drove over noun
tains and valleys, through the
toughest country in which any of
them had ever travelled.
THE weather we encountered"
said Mr.. Belknap yesterday, was
the coolest l have ever experienced.
A blizzard ragged all day long, and
the thermometer on the high noun
tain ranges was several degrees
below zero. The roads were in such
condition that we frequently had to
take down the fe noes and drive
through the fields for miles. The
bridges were all w ashed away, and
we were obliged t o seek shallow
places where we could ford the
streams. We had NIX means of know
ing how deep the water was, and
on numerous occasi ons it washed in
to the bodies of our carriages.
"In descending the mountains the
tired horses could not hold the
hearse back, and we had to tie a
strong rope to the rear axle and
hold it back by main strength.
Senator Warren, w o was a member
of our committee, was almost frozen
to death, and we were obliged to
leave him at roadside house until
our return When we arrived at
Liberty our carriages were all badly
damaged, and the hearse was in such
condition that we could not bring it
back with us. Our only food during
the two days we were en- route was
a jar of pickles, a few sandwiches
and hard-boiled eggs. These were
soon frozen stiff, and we were un-
able to eat them.
81 have roughed it good deal ir
my time, but this experience was the
most trying ever had. One of ouI
drivers was so badly frozen that he
will probably be crippled for life"

GOVERNMENT SUPER VISION THE
HIGHWA Us.

1t has been suggested that the
American roads be placed under a
system of government supervision,
and be divided somewhat as the
French roads are:
First, national roads. These to be
built and maintained by the general
government, and Relocated with ref
erence to military and postal require
nentS.
Second, state roads. These to be
built and maintained bycounties and
townships, and be located with ref
erence to classes just mentioned.
Those who advocate this idea say
that if our common roads were i'm
proved by some such plan as this,
we should soon have them in charge
of competent and educated engineers.
The national roads would probably
be in charge of army engineers the
state roads in charge of engineers
graduated from the agricultural and
medical schools; and the neighbour
hood roads in charge of local men,
who, once having had the example
set them of how good roads are built,
would be entirely competent to do
what is usually necessary to be done

HIGH PRICED PRA YERS.

Insurance Commissioner Merrill in
his recent Argument before the legis-
lative committee on insurance against
the open-and-shut endowment orders
mentions a striking instance of the
way the officers of those organiza-
tions have heeced their dupes. One
of these orders had supreme chap
lain who received salary of $500
a year, and whose sole duty consisted
in offering prayer at the assemb-
ling of the supreme council, which
met but once in two years. Practi-
cally he drew SIS, 900 for prayer.
This man was not clergyman, be it
said. 1t must have been an interest
ing study to watch his face when he
offered up prayer to that God who
has comm handed, "Thou shalt not
steal."- Boston Transcript.

in making road oflesser Importance.
But even under such a plan as this,
each county should have an engineer
to design the difficult work, determine
upon location of routes, and inspect
constructions and repairs. Strange
as it may seem, the proper location
of a country highway presents to the
engineer more complex problems
than the location of railroad
Country people do not understand
this, and are not willing to believe
it, therefore the crossroads store
keeper and the village blacksmith
are usually thought to be entirely
competent to decide upon the best

TT WAS THE DALTON GANG.

Parsons, KAN, July 15.-It is now def
nitely learned that II was the notorious
Dalton gang that committed the train rob-
berry in Indian Territory last night. The
gang has been camped IN the territory for
some time between Prior Creek and
the place where the crime was commit
ted. Last night about 9 o'clock they made
their wav to Adair. bringing their Win
cbesters 10 bear upon the station agent.
They proceeded to ransack the station of
ali the v~aluables. This ACCOMPLISHED they
calmly sat down to await the arrival of the
north-bound passenger train due there at
9:40 F.. NJ. The entire contents OF the safe
were secured.
In the skirmish that took place between
Captain Kinney, chief of the railroad police
force. and the Indian guards while the
robbery was taking place Kinney received
a slight wound in the shoulder and one OF
the guards received a bullet IN his leg.
Two stray bullets entered a drugstore up
town and seriously injured Drs. Young
blood and w. l.. Goff. who we're sitting IN
the building at the time. Con has since
died from his wounds and Yo~ungblood Is
in a dangerous condition. .
The exact value of the plumber obtained
by the robbers cannot be learned, the rail
road officials refusing to state the amount
taken. 1t is thought to be no large
amount. A strong guard was sent out from
Vinita to endeavor to overtake the despe-
radoes, and a large reward tor the capture
and conviction of any OF the gang Will no
doubt be offered.

BOWLING GREEN. July 15.-While making
excavations for an improvement upon the
lot OF Mrs. l.. J. Boxer, of this town, the
workmen exhumed the remains of o hui
man being. Relics found scattered amid
the decaying bones proved the skeleton to
have been aFederal soldier. The fact that
the grave was very shallow barely two
feet deep. and that the body was buried
with the face down, indicates secrecy and
haste. Our oldest citizens cannot recall
any circumstances in explanation. The
lot on which the remains were found is IN
the heart of the town. and many people
now here were living here during the war.
and it is only fair to inter that If the
burial had been open some n or more OF
these would have remembered it. The re-
mains will be boxed up and sent to the su-
perintendent Of the Federal cemetery at
Fredericksburg for interment.
