CAUGHT A TARTAR.-On q recent
trip through Ohio a peculiar incident
occurred which | think will bear tell
ing. "A follow drummer who repres-
ents a Chicago house and myself were
on route to Cleveland and ut q station
at which our train stopped, among the
idlers and sightseers that we're con.
gregated about the depot was a tall,
hulking fellow with his trousers in his
boottops and his hands thrust deep
into his pockets. Just as our train
was ready to start my companion
thrust his head out Of the car-window.
and, addressing the rustic individual
just mentioned, said
How far is it up to the farm?"
whats that ?" said the rustic.
II say, what's the name of this
town p,
"Oh, this is Chenworth."
Just then our train began moving
away from the station and tho drum
mer, to have some fun with the cOun-
tryman, yelled at him you're a
fool. You don't know beans "
who's n fool !" exclaimed MIR.
Rustic.
You are" retorted the drummer,
shaking his fist at him, as the train
disappeared from the station, then
Siooc" my "iioo" III JOlIlSu III UlS
laugh caused by his rencontre. Just
then the train came to a stop and com
menced backing up toward the depot.
My drummer friend realized suddenly
that his rustic acquaintance might
wantt to renew the subject lately under
discussion and amid the a of laugh
ter from every man in the "smoker "
made a break for the baggage car, and
none too soon, for the moment the
train came to a standstill on a siding
to allow IL west-bound train to pass in
rushed tho excited rustic, with u blood
in his eye."
"Where is he 2" he exclaimed.
SHOW me the Teller hat says I'm Il
fool" looking right and left in search
of the drummer. "Ill tear hi, heart
out and feed it to the dogs"
Just then the west-bound train ar
rived and our train commenced to
owe forward again, and to avoid be-
ing carried away our cnraged rustic
was obliged to hastily leave without
the heart of the hiding drummer, who
soon ceme back into the car, amid the
jeers and gibes Of his fellow-travelers.
AT the next stop our joking drummer
completely ignored the gaping rustics
at the station.-New York Recorder.

There is n probability that the cow
boy race from Chadron, Nebraska, to
Chicago may be declared of, or carried
out under difficulties. The human
tarians of the country are protesting
against the cruelty to the horses that
will be used in making the seven hur-
dred miles journey. The Chicago In
ter Ocean and other papers are advis-
ing the officials of the states through
which the riders pass, to enforce the
law against cruelty to animals. Prof.
Swing, III u n recently, was gen
erously applauded for denouncing the
scheme as barbarous. He said Chi
cago wanted to see the cowboys of the
plains. ave ali want them to come,
but come as cavalty, crossing the June
prairies in easy marches, camping by
some stream al night" There Is a
chance for brutal treatment of horses,
and it is more than probable that sew
eral bronchos will be ridden to death
or rendered utterly worthless through
the eagerness Of their riders to win IA
purse and II little cheap fame. Should
relays of horses he substituted instead
of relying upon one pony to make the
distance, the chief objection to the race
would be removed, and the test of en-
durance made human and governed 10y
laws of self-preservation. Since the
above was written the daily papers con.
tain the news that the race has been
declared off.

Big Timber as a Shipping Point.

This year Big Timber is receiving more
patronage from the Judith Basin than ever
before and simply because those who
Travelled the road last year are all going
again and the increase iu traffic is largely
from that point.
Parties who have ordered consignment
to that point are well satisfied with the
promptness ia forwarding and there can
be no question but that it is the only good
road out "f the Basin. The Benton road
is perhaps shorter, but through II muddy
country and over the Arrow creek hill, un-
questionably the worst hill on any road.
Great Falls is much further, is indirect for
freighters and, moreover, is not popular
as n forwarding point among those who
through IL worse country than any, poor
feed, alkali, bad hills and the longest road
OF any, but it must be said that freight
and express are both promptly forwarded.
Big Timber is open to none Of these oil
iections. There is not a bad hill ON the
road. Much of the way is a gravel bed
and water and feed are excellent aud pler-

greatest of all is the fact that you have IA

venient. Thirty-three miles to Ubet, if

Mr.. Geo. +. Wright and Miss Ruth Fisher
both of Utica, were united in the holy bonds
of matrimomy by the Rev. Geo. Edwards

number of friends from Utica and Phil
brook. The bride was dressed in white
silk, tastefuIly trimmed with lace of the
same material, and ''she was as fair a
bride as ere the sun shone on" The bride
was the recipient of numerous handsome
and useful presents which were duly in
spected. Dinner, ordered by the groom
and served bv Mr.. Lamb, left nothing to
be desired in thnt line. At 10 o'clock the
bridal party was escorted to the town hall
where the pleasurable pastime OF dancing
was INDUCED in until early morning, inter
rupted only by the call of. our aforesaid
worthy host to a supper second to none
ever served in the state.
On the morning OF the 25th the newly
married couple left on a short pleasure trip

with a writ, overhauled the Wyoming

The Boston Herald, which ought to
be good Democratic authority, in lis
issue of May l9th, speaking Of the con-
dition of the wool market, says: The
wool market is depressed. There is,
in fact, almost an utter decentralization
of both demand and values. 1t is tend
ing to make buyers Of the new clip
most remarkably careful. Ihe feeling
in the trade here is very pronounced
that wool must be bought this season
on a basis of free wool. The coming
clip, already offering in some sections,
must he bought by the dealer or the
manufactures and held six, eight or
twelve months, as the CASE may be,
and during that time it is pretty likely
to become worth no more than the
same grade of wool from abroad is
worth. laid down here free of duty,
through the effect Of actual tariff legis-
lation or agitation that Is leading to
legislation. For this contingency the
buyer of wool in this country must pre-.
pare himself, and the trade seems to
lie most thoroughly aware of this con
dition of affairs"

The goody goody people of the east
than they do an Indian, and probably
because they do not come in contact
with either, are greatly alarmed for the
welfare of the Mongolians. They are
apparently afraid the wild and woody
people of the west are so vicious and
so prejudiced against the Cinnamon
that they are liable TO rise up and
drive them into the Pacific ocean.
Now, there is no cause for alarm on
this score. While western people may
have good reason to oppose the admis-
sion of any more Chinese, they are no,
going to i~ll-rreat those already here.
Nor was the law which the Cinnamon
1t required no more of them than Is
required of every citizen at general
elections, that Is, To register their
names. If Cinnamon did not care
enough about remaining here To com
ply with this simple demand there
cannot be much hardship in the de
portation of them. Had the admins
tration not been so vacillating, but
shown "a determination to enforce the
law in advance, larger numbers would
have registered. The Chinese waited
for a supreme court decision and are
now anxious to register. But it is a
qu' stion whether they can do SO after
the time set has passed. The Indian
and Chinese worshippers of the east
are now hoping that the law will be re-
pealed at the next session of congress,
little means with which TO enforce the
law.
