AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER
Steamer Rosebud of the "BIock P'
Line Sunk in Very Deep
Water.
She Had Made Many Trips to Fort
Bent0n-Was a Swift
Vessel.

The following dispatch to the Mime
apolis Journal, dated Bismarck, n, D.,
will be of interest to all old residents of
Fort Benton, and, in fact, to every Mon
tanian who remembers the halcyon days
Of 1.-THE head of navigation"
The steamer Rosebud, of the Benton
Transportation company, has sunk in
about 25 feet of water, and now lies
Careened over, one end buried in the
sand at the bottom of the river and the
other supported above water by the plling
which IS driven along the shore. The
boat IS SUM beyond recovery, and men
are at work saving whatever Of portable
property can be carried ~ehoreward. A
line has been made fast to the boilers,
and it Is possible that they may be saved
from tho wreck, The hull of the boat is
in all probability a total loss"
In the days when s~teamboRting on the
Missouri river was at its height; when
Fort benton, Helena, Fort Macleod and
all the tributary country received sup
plies from st. Louis and annually shipped
hundreds of Thousands of buffalo hides,
the Rosebud WAS II familiar figure on the
upper Missouri, and many who are now
residents OF Great Falls made frequent
voyages on her.
She was a comparatively small boat.
having a light draft, and could make the
trip up the river when larger and heavier
boats were unable to pass the bars that
SO often were encountered below Fort
Benton.
She belonged to the "Blocz p" com
pany, in which Commodore Power had
a controlling interest, and generally
made more and more RAPID trips than
any other vessel of that company.
Since the Great Northern reached
Great Falls and the decadence Of the
old town down the river began, the
Rosebud had piled between Bismarck
and Sioux City. She was comparatively
aged, but in good condition, and would
have continued in the service for many
more years if she had not been wrecked,

%Searlre, live stock agent Of the Great
Northern, was a visitor in Lcwistown
the first of the week, this being his first
trip to the basin this season. For the
next two months he will be frequently
among us, soliciting wool and cattle
shipments for his road. Last year his
efforts were very successful and Great
Falls proved IA great wool market and
more cattle were shipped from Benton
than any other point in the state. He
thinks the prospects are even better
this year, and will be busy for some
weeks explaining his reasons to Fergus
county stockmen. Mr.. Searles' wife will
come to Lewistown soon, to spend the

THEY ARE REPUBLICAN BONDS

The Republicans in the House have
decided to let Buffers bill against the
issue of bonds die ON the calendar.
The Southern and Western Republi-
cans begged Reed ito not let it come to
a vote, and give them chance to fool
the people just one more time. Here
after every bond ISSUED will be Re
publican bond, for if the Republican
House had passed the Butler bill there
would have been no issue of bonds by
the President without special Congress
sional sanction. As it now is, failure
to pass Buffers bill makes THE Republi
cams doubly responsible for all bond
issues, for the doubtful act under
which the President has acted is of
Republican parentage.

DoUGHT0N FOR GOVERNOR.

TO the Editor: The Democratic
party this year needs its strongest
man for Governor. / have looked the
field over. and while there are other
good men named, / think that Hon
Rufus \. Doughton, of Allegheny
county, Northumberland, will
make the strongest candidate the
party can name. He has been before
the people of the State ten years as
representative in the House from Ale
ghany. as Speaker of the House, and
as Lieutenant-Govern the past four
years. His promotion, which has been
rapid. has been due to his wisdom, his
conservatism, his level-head, and the
fact that he has the confidence of the
whole people. No man who knows
him doubts his integrity or his good
Judgment. He is not a candidate. lie
will not push himself. He is patriot
who is well equipped to lead. He will
lead the party to victory.

DAVIDSON COMMENCEMENT.
The Annual Meeting of the Board of
Trustees.

Davidson, ". c., June -(SpeciaD-
The Board of Trustees began its an
nual session on yesterday at II a. m.
Among the members present from the
eastern part of the State, were: Geo
w. Watts, Esq, Of Durham; Rev. c. G.
Nardell, of Newbern, and Rev. ID. r. H.
Johnston, of Elizabeth City. From the
far South, representing the Presbytery
of Florida. Rev. S. c. Caldwell, ITALIA
hassee.
Besides the regular routine business
the board confirmed the appointment
made last fall by the executive com
mittee to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of DR.. w. S. CurrelI
and formally elected to the chair of
English Prof. Thomas =. Harrison,
PHI ID. (Johns Hopkins University
They also elected Prof. w. !. Martin.
NJ. ID Ph. d.. University of Virginia.
to succeed his lamented father as Prof.
of chemistry and as Bursar. They
also adopted the recommendation of
the executive committee making pro-
vision by which DR.. H.S.Smith will be
allowed to devote a portion of his time
to canvassing and travelling in behalf
of the college with a view to keeping
it more prominently before the notice
of the public.
The rain yesterday afternoon damp
ened alike the lawns of the village
and the spirits of the young ladies, but
is such slight measure as to help the
looks of the first named as little as it
hurt the latter.
Tuesday evening found the crowd of
visiting young ladies swelled beyond
the usual limits and a gay and bril-
liant scene met the eye as one entered
the doors of the handsome and richly
furnished literary halls of the ''Eu"
or "Phi" Societies at p. m, to wit
ness their annual celebrations.
In the "Eu' Rev. j. r. Fogartic,
ed an able and philosophical address
on the two opposing theories as to the
science of sociology-the' 'mechanica"
and the Organic"
The valedictory speech was made by
c. S. Clifford and the response by
r. S. Eskridge.
In the phi Rev. i. Aston Ramsey
was the orator of the evening. His
theme was "The disadvantages of an
aimless Life as contrasted with one
of Purpose''-the speech was highly
complimented.
The valedictory was delivered by
r.. d. Johnston and was responded to
by w. A. Goodman.
These formal addresses are always
followed by quite a number of brief
extempore (?) and often witty speeches
from old alumni and other visitors in
both of the society halls. These after
maths are among the pleasant features
of commencement and are always
looked forward to by the boys with
great expectancy.
The last closing event of Tuesday,
and though last, not least in the esti-
nation of all who were present TO
hear and enjoy it was a delightful
concert given by the mandolin Glee
Clubs. The clubs after a season of
successful practice are in fine trim
and credit to the college. They
make beautiful music.

referring to the young woman, would
have been i'm his place. DR.. Smith was
exceedingly happy in his remarks to
this bright young man, saying, by the
Way, that he had never taken medal
but that he had consoled himself with
the fact that they didn't give medals
in those days.
The closing eXhortation of DR.. Smith
to the Young man was beautiful and
the presentation was a fit companion

made many friends by his power OF
speech alone. He made some real Ieb

THE PEOPLE WANT A STRAIGHT
ISSUE.

What the country wants at the
coming election most of all. ana
what it must have ii we are ever
to gain any degree or nnahclai
peace, is a great popular division
on the one question of keeping to
the gold standard or adopting nee
silver coinage and another stand
Springfield Republican.
The Springfield Republican Is IN
favor of the gold standard, but IL
voices of the sentiment of honest men
of both views. The people are entitled
to a straight affirmative and negative
vote. If the majority of the people
want the single gold standard, they
ought to have an opportunity to say
so, and the whole country ought to
acquiesce when a majority has so de
clared. If. on the other hand, the
majority of the people are opposed 10
the single gold standard and in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer. the issue ought to be clear-cut
and direct, and when they have spoken,
legislation making the peoples Will
the law of the land ought to follow.
There are two classes of politicians
who are doing all in their power to
prevent direct vote ON the silver
question: !. The McKinleyites who
declare that the tariff is the over
Swallowing Issue. These are men who
want the chance of writing tariff
bill that will give them carte blanche
to rob the people freely and systematl-
calIy under the forms of law. 2. The
loud and blatant advocates of free
coinage. who have used the popular
lust demand for bi-metallism, as cry
upon which to ride into office; who,
now that the opportunity is presented
them to secure free coinage, declare
that the Democrats are going to nomi-
nate free coinge candidates to enable
the ''gold-bugs" to win.
The people who are really honestly
for free coinage need not be moved
by the nervous chatter of either class.
The people know the selfish motive
that actuates both of these classes,
and will attend to them properly in
You can't fool all the people all
of the the time"
