4 ST. Louis Forecast.

St. Louis, July 16.-It becomes
more and more evident each day as
the time for the meeting of the pop
ulist national convention draws near
that members OF that party will
clash over the endorsement Of Bryan
for president. Letters from all parts
of the country are pouring into the
national committee headquarters,
some dcnouncing and some demand
ing the endorsement Of the demo-
cratic ticket, and everything indi-
Gates that there is decided differ
ence Of opinion. Many of the popu-
list leaders are awaiting the coming
Of the free silver senators who boltcd
the republican convention. Upon
the course they take will depend, in
Il measure, the action OF the Bryan
following. If the republicans come
out openly for Bryan and the Chicago
platform, the opposition may not
make much OF a fight. a very strong
wing Of the party, headed by Chair
man ,Taubeneck, Sergcant-at-Arms
Mcdowell, Chairman Rozellc of the
Missouri state committee, and many
Of the members of the national com
mittcc, propose to make a fight fol
the adoption Of the Omaha platform
instead of an endorsement uf the
Chicago declaration.

Sheep on the Election,

The opinion which sheep owners
entertain of the coming election is
shown in the following transaction
which took place between two sheep
men: a few days ago T.. e. Leach
of Dupuycr and James McDcyitt Of
Pondcrs, both large sheep owners,
were in the city. Mr.. Leach owned
$500 sheep on his ranch near Du-
puycr which he sold to Mr.. McDcvitt
upon the following conditions: should
William J. Bryan OF Nebraska be
elected president of the United
States in November next, Mr.. Nc
Dewitt is to pay Mr.. Leach 81 per
head for the sheep. Should William
Mckinley Of Ohio be chosen president
Of the United States in November
next, then Mr.. McDevitt is to pay
Mr.. Leach So perhead for the flock
The sale is bona tidc and the transfer
has already been made, and on tho
election Of president hangs 50 500 t(
be put in the pocket of either Mr.
Leach or Mr.. AtcDcvitt.-Lcadcr.

EX.GOV. RUSSELL DEAD.

SchOckcd.

Quebec. July 16.-Ex-Govcrnor W.
e. Russell, of Massachusetts,, was
found dead this morning in 3. +.
Sutton's fishing camp at st. Adelaide,
near Grand Pabos, Quebec. When
he passed through Monday on his way
to the salmon grounds lie was in the
best Of health. Grand Pabos, the
nearest telegraphjc station to St.
Adclaidc, is a little fishing place Of
300 inhabitants, and there are few
facilities of getting more explicit in
formation at present. 1t appears
that this morning the guides found
that he slept longer than usual, and
when they went to wake him up it
was found that he was, dead. 1t is
supposed he died of heart disease.
Boston, July l6.-The first news OF
Ex-Governor Russell's death was re-
ceived with almost incrcdulity in
this city. Even the members of the
law firm with which he was associat
ed refused to look upon the matter
seriously when asked to verify the
rumor Of the cx-goycrnor's death. Il
was not until after the press wires
had been busy for some time that
ycriiication of the sad news was OBJ
| taincd The most that could bt
learned here until late this Afternoon
was contained in the following tclc
gram to Joseph B. Russell, brother 0
the ex- governor, and signed by Col
Harry Z. Russell: "Will found dcat

According to the recollection Of
the Oldest resident in these parts,
the hardest rainfall ever known in
Deer Lodge was experienced at the
noon hour Sunday. The lightning
which accompanied the storm was
terrific and is known to have struck
several different places in the city.
The store Of VIM. Coleman was struck
shortly after the storm was at it's
fury and that some lives were not
lost is a miracle. The lightning
struck the top Of the house at the
foot OF the flagstaff, tearing a hole
about six inches long and an inch
wide. 1T came down the iron front
of the building, made a small hole
in the casing Of the north window,
followed up a miniature tubing which
drains the frost from the windows:
and out on Il wire which goes across
the window This was half melted
and was scattered over the show cases
in front of the store. Under this
