AUSTRALIAN WOOL.

Col. j. II. Rice, one of the largest
wool growers in northern Montana,
submits the following article TO the
Anaconda Standard on woolgrowing
in Australia.
During the three seasons ending June 30,
.ISY2, the shipments Of wool from Austria
liza increased by no less than 10000
bales, or b per cent Of the total quantity.
During the year ending June 80, 1898,
there was an increase of $4,000 bales adj
dftionaI, making the total increase in the
Australian wool clip nearly 100000 bales
within four years.
The of this enormous
growth in the Australian production has
been n drop of 30 per cent in prices, and
protection alone has saved the American
woolcrowers from being compelled to sell
their wool for the same money. The Aus
tralian clip is liable to extraordinary and
Unprecedented growth in the future, be-
cause artesian wells have been sunk in
New South Wales and Queensland. afford

wood shavings a now be used in
many processes of manufacture. The
latest use, however, that wood has
been put to is to transform it into a
food by means of a chemical process.
The method has, of course, come from
Germany.
Every one who has studied a little
of chemistry knows hat wood is
composed largely of cellulose, and
this substance, which is a complicat-
ed organic compound of carbon, n.y.
drogen and oxygen, is very closely
allied to grape sugar. In fact, it Is
only necessary to add the elements
of water to the former to produce
the latter, and this may very easily
be done by boiling with a little dilute
sulphuric acid (sulphuric acid which
has been mixed with water). In this
way the cellulose in the wood is con-
verted into grape sugar, very whole

German physician, adds to this about
40 per cent of meal of wheat, pats or
rye; also phosphate and bone ele-
ments. Thus a sort of wood glucose
cake is made, which car be used In
place of oilcake as food for cattle

A NERVY JAIL0R.
A Daring Attempt at Jail-Breaking Frus-
trated by a Jailor's Nerve.

Bob Nestal, Ed Moore and Martin
Wilson, three men confined in Jail at
Billings on the charge of highway rob
berry, Tuesday morning made daring
attempt to escape. Moore u sweep
ing the corridor under the supervision
OF Tailor Stoli. When thejailort turned
his head a moment to unlock a cell
Moore struck him with a slungshot,
telling him to the floor. The TAILOR,
while falling, had presence of mind
enough to throw the keys to the outer
door over the banisters into the coal
box. After the prisoners had found
the keys they started for the stable,
where the sheriff's horses are kept.
Stoll in the meantime had regained
consciousness, and going to his office
procured a rifle. When he reached
the gate Moore opened fire on him with
his revolver, but luckily missed him.
Stoll.returned the fire, wounding Moore
fatally. The other two made their
escape, but were soon captured by a
posse which ent out after them.

Committee.

At a special meeting of the Fergus
County Bar association held this 31st
day of January, 1894, the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, An all-wisc Providence has re-
moved from the active duties of life our
honored and esteemed fellow worker, Edgar
White Morrison, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That our heartfelt sympathy
be extended to the brother in our midst,
aud to the bereaved mother, whose absence
from the death bed OF her son makes her
loss but the harder TO endure.
RESOLVED. That we recognize in the
death of our friend and c~o-worker, Edgar
White Morrison, the loss of one who, for
learning, diligence and fidelity, had few su.
periors in the legal profession of the state
OF Montana; that we admire, as WI have
always done, the wonderful display Of re-
serve force with which, to the very last, he
maintained his hold upon the narrow
thread of life which alone for years has
held him to his chosen vocation; that we
deeply regret hat one who for years has
shown such remarkable will power should
thus, in the early years OF life, be removed
from the scenes among which he had been
So successful; that we honor his memory
aud revere in him that pre-eminent quail,
~ication which made him, abu,, all things,
IA man.
RESOLVED. hat copies Of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to the members of his
bereaved family; that they be spread upon
the records of the Fergus County Bar as
ISOLATION, OF which he was the originator.
that copies of them be furnished to the
FERGUS COUNTY ARGUS and to the Montana
Democrat for publication.

A BelIed Rat.

A report of a very queer law suit
comes from Paris. During last season
4 house in .he Avenue de Neuilly was
suddenly and unaccountably infested
by rats. They swarmed all over the
place, and what was peculiarly irri-
tating seemed to confine themselves
to that one horse. The owner man.
aged to trap one of the swarm and
having a mechanical mind construct
ed a wire moose, which he vas able
to slip around the captive's head.
This collar was furnished with a
aall silver bell. and so equipped the
at was set free. OF course he found
his comrades, or tried to do so, with
the result that that special house in
the Avenue de Neuilly had peace at
last.
Near by there lived a studious gen.
tleman of nervous temperament, the
plaintiff in the forthcoming action.
He was wakened in the night by a
curious tinkling sound, which came
ON fitfully, and seemed to proceed
from every corner of the room. He
Lit a candle and timorously proceeded
to search. There was nothing visi-
BILE, and yet the mysterious sound
was distinctly audible. He tried to
think 1t was imagination, but fail
ing, decided it must be ghosts. 1t
was clear the house was haunted,
and haunted, too, by day as well as
by night. For weeks he could not
sleep, and the anxiety told on his
health. At last a gossiping servant
learned the truth, and the victim, in
stead of laughing at his own creduli-
ty. has begun an action against the
man who belled the rat.-Paris Let

Thursday of last week by a vote of POI
to 40, after the vote to recommlt was
lost by l79 to 103. The bill now goes
to the senate where 1t will probably
not be taken up for two or three weeks.
Just what disposition will be made Of
it is hard to foreshadow. 1t would not
be strange if the bill was rejected en-
tire owing to the income rider. There
seems to be no doubt that the bill will
be amended i'll many particulars, In
which case it would have to go back to

Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, that great Re.
publican newspaper, has not suffered by
the recent era OF financial depression but
has gone right along adding to its founda-
ton stones-a large and substantial circu-
lation-with a stride that under the cir
c~umstances is truly wonderful. At one
time additions to the subscription list were
coming at the rate of 500 to /, 100 per day
for the daily issue, and as high as 1,50O
per day for the Weekly Inter Ocean.
The result of this is to place it easily at
the head of the list of great Chicago news
papers. 1t is certainly a good, clean. family

several weeks, died at his home III
Philadelphia on the Sd inst. Mr..
Childs had gained a world wide fame
for his great benevolence rather than
for literary achievements. He started
in life Il poor shop boy and with abil-
ity and perseverance was soon on the
road to fortune. He became proprie-
tor of the Philadelphia I4edgerin1S34
and was in control at the time OF his
death. He was Il strong friend of the
printing fraternity everywhere and his
sympathieS went out to the humblest
employees. The printers OF the United
States have reason to revere his name
for his instrumentality in the estab-
lishment OF a home, known as the

and his death will be widely mourned.
