extraordinary series of accidents has en-
abled me to discover the truth in time. "
The colc lel bowed a submissive head;
he had expected no less. Only he ven
asked to display any. Now, mamma,
you can please yourself about marrying
Colonel Byng. l don't see why you
shouldn't marry him if you like him,
and, after all, l suppose most people are
bound to have false teeth at his age.
He can have nice new set made by
some teetotal dentist, and in the mean
time he can be i'll /; so that there may be
an excuse for postponing the wedding.
But it must be clearly understood that
I shall only hold my tongue upon the
condition that l am allowed to marry
Ned, and that l am given money enough
to set up house with. Unless that is
agreed to neither you nor Colonel Byng
shall ever hear the last Of tie way in
which you have spont this bank hol'
day"
The hail porter, who had been an in.
terestcd and sympathetic auditor Of the
above colloquy, here took leave to re-
mark: 81 think, ma'am, if you was to
act as the young lady proposes it would
be best for all parties. Mr.. Wainwright,
for instance, is q gentleman very high
ly thought Of in the profession, and for
him to be oTertook as he has been today
is most unfortunate and unusual
thing
"Why, I thought you said just now
that he was always getting drunk" in
terrupted the colonel.
81 may have said SO, sir, replied the
porter discreetly. SIN the hurry Of the
moment I may have said SO, Similarly,
I might in the course of conversation
repeat what I've just seen and heard.
But you may be sure shall be as silent
as the grave, sir, in the case anything
is given me to keep in mind of my
duty"
Mrs. AtheTton, as has been said be-
fore, was good natured woman, and
she began to laugh. 1t is better, she
may have reflected, to laugh than to be
1llSACu at
"Go home and 10 ILL.," she said to
the colonel. giving him little push.
''If you think you can be well again at
the end Of week, we won't tell our
friends what has been the matter with
you, and while you are recovering l
will see the lawyers and make certain
settlements. Really, when one comes to
thiak Of it, it wouldn't have been at all
pleasant to be upon bad terms with our
children; SO all has fallen out for the
best"
Including Colonel Byng's teeth, :"
remarked Blanche demurely. "But l
am sure he will take care not to let
them fall out again, and perhaps he
will take care not to fall out with me
again either"

10 convince them both. The conversa-
tion, however, WIS a perfectly amicable
and agreeable ont Colonel Byng was
pleasantly surprised in Mrs. Atherton,
whom he found 10 be handsome, well
preserved woman Of the world, with
blond hair which looked natural and
manners which we're quite evidently so.
"The long and the short Of it is, }"
she remarked, With n good humored
laugh, "tha; doa't intend to provide
your son with an income and that /
don't see WHY I should. So the match
is of. am sorry for Ned and Blanche,
but really it isn't my fault and l dare
say it isn't yours. Is there any reason
why we should not ali remain friends!"
"My dear lady, none whatsoever"
the colonel hastened to respond. ''Fol
my own part, / cm only say thnr / feel
extremely grateful 10 Ned for having
been the means of introducing me to so
charming an acquaintance, and perhaps
if he makes his fortune at the bar-as
why shouldn't he-he may yet be per-
mitted to renew proposals which, of
course, he had no business to make
now. But quite agree with you that
in the meantime the match must be
off,"
These two amiable and selfish per-
sons thoroughly understood one anoth-
sr. Mrs. Atherton thought none the
worse of Colonel Byng for declining to
part with money which he naturally
preferred to retain for his own use and
behoof while the colonel asked nothing
better than to maintain friendly rela-
tions with lady whose hospitality he
was soon privileged to enjoy, and who,
as he reflected, must eventually be-
queath her ample means to her only
child He did not mean to so to any
personal expense in the matter, but he
was very willing that Ned should be
made happy and rich, and he foresaw
that Mrs Atherton would not remain
obdurate forever. In the plenitude of
his good nature he procured invitations
for the widow and her daughter to the
houses of certain relatives and friends
of his where they might otherwise have
found some difficulty in effccting an
entrance, and he assured his son that
the situation called for nothing more
than the exercise Of a little ordinary
patience.
Ned Byng, fortunately, was very
reasonable young man. He had great
confidence in his fathers acuteness and
knowledge Of the world; he had the
bost of reasons for believing that

Three Hundred Thousand Inches Of
Madison River Water Appropriated.
T. A. Davis and Ed McNamie of Salt
Lake City have located 800, 600 inches
of water in the Madison river, which
they propose to utilize in generating
electric power for use in various cities
in Montana. The notices of location
were filed recently with the county
clerk. The water is to be taken out of
the Madison river three miles east of
Red Bluff.
Just what these gentlemen J.. oppose
to do with this vast power they are
keeping to themselves, but it is under
stood that they propose to transmit the
current to Montana cities where it is a
valuable commodity.

One of Judge Davis most exciting
experiences during those memorable
times occurred in connection with
Charles Slade, the notorious outlaw.
who had killed at least a dozen e
One day Slade had amused himself for
several hours by riding through the
town and into houses, and shooting at
everything within range. Finally, the
people tired Of his actions, and deter
mined to put an everlasting quietus on
them forthwith by lynching him.
Slade, who knew Judge Davis person
ally, sought refuge from the mob in
his court room. The ~vigilantes press
ed upon him, and Slade, in order to in
timidate them, drew a revolver and
pointed it at Judge Davis head in a
manner that meant "If you attempt to
harm me, l will kill your judge first"
Judge Davis induced the mob to leave
temporarily, and then advised Slade
to fly for his life. The latter promised
to do so, and started away, but turned
back when he saw the mob outside,
and the members charged upon the
court room and captured him. A few
minutes later SHADES body was oscil-
lating at the end of a rope.
This instance was made famous by
Mark Twain, but he gave it several
touches Of humor, which were prob
ably not apparent at the time.
Judge Davis practiced law in Mon
tana until 1869, when he removed to
st. Louis, Missouri. In 1880, he gave
up his profession on ccount of i'll
health and devoted his time to specu-
lation in mining stocks, through which
he accumulated a comfortable fortune"
If he lives till the 2Sth of the present
month, Judge Davis will be 81 years
Of age.
A later dispatch conveys the infor-
nation that Judge Davis is dead. The
news was received in Virginia by E. H.
Bartlett through Lyman Monger.
Monger is now a wealthy nan in Han
nibal, Missouri, but in the stirring
times of 80 years ago, he WAS one OF
the bright lights of Alder gulch.
Monger is the man who put the rope
around Jack Gallagher's neck.

DEATH OF AN OLD TIMER.
DIR E. T. Wager At One Time a rromi-
nent Physician of This City.

Dr f. +. Yagera At One Time "a Promi-
nent Physician of This City.
From the Oheron, Benson Co., N. D.,
Echo, we CLEAN the following in regard
to the death OF one of the early set
tiers in Virginia City, who will be well
and favorably remembered by all pio-
neers:
1t Is our sad duty to chronicle the sud.
den and unexpected death of DR.. 4. T. Va
ger who passed into the great beyond
wednesday morning, somewhere between
the hours Of 10 alnd II. 1t was startling
news to the people OF this community aud
especially to our town people who had con.
versed with the doctor only q few hours,
yes. minutes. befPre the sad news reached
their ears. The doctor. when in the pres
ence OF these people. appeared as well and
talkative as ever.
When found, he was sitting IN his char
as he was when last seen alive in his office.
Heart-tallure was tho cause OF his sudden
death. MIR. Wager was born near Louis
vile. Shelley Co., Ky, and was sixty years
Of age at his death. He leaves one son and
a daughter to mourn his loss. TIT funeral
services will be held in the Congregations!
church, at $50 this afternoon, conducted
by Rev. O.. 2. Champl,u, and will withou,
doubt be largely attended.
The deceased was a graduate of the
Louisville Medical College and has tor the
past thirty or thirty.ive years been prac-
tioprp hto ~~o(ont~o ~,el ---
For a number Of years he practiced his pro-
tessiOn IN Missouri and Montana.
He was one OF Benson county's pioneers,
having settled here IN the fall OF 1885. ana
has since made friends far and near. No
matter who called him. he went without q
murmer. He was always found at his post
OF duty. ever ready and willing to minister
to the wants OF the people. He was kind
and sympathetic t. his patients, always
cheering and encouraging them IN theii
darkest hours. The reaper OF death could
not have laid bis hand on one who would
be more missed than the one he has called
from our midst. Death, after all, is a dark,
ening and a disappearance OF those We
love. and we must be content to take it so.
1t is only a question, more or less, where
the darkness shall begin aud what it shall
eclipse first. 70 others who have loved the
dying and have gone before him. it is rot g
darkenlng but q dawning. Perhaps tt
them it is the brightest dawn, when it hat
been the most Opaque and colorless sunse1
on the side OF earth.

weekly Market RevIex.

Cotton.-The prediction made in this col
umn last spring that many and wide fuct-
uations were to be expected has been
abundantly verified. Nor was the past
weeks market one of the least eccentric.
Early in the week January deliveries ad-
vanced nearly 40 points to S.75ci then re-
acted nearly 30; when the bureau report
came out prices rose again TO SIC, turned
weak and declined over % points closing
about 10 points lower than the week be-
fore Near months showed still greater
weakness. The bureau report coming as
low as eA2, while much lower than the
trade looked for, was only what was pre-
dicted in our last weeks review. II was
certainly extremely bullish and the ac-
ton OF the market was, therefore, disap-
pointing.
Several causes may be mentioned az
conducting to the decline. such as the
financial disturbances in New Orleans Va
creased receipts and some European war
talk But the main influence was the
fact that tho public had taken on go DC
load, anticipating a good rise to realize
apOn; when these tried to sell the bears
sold also. and nobody wanted to buy. Al
