The Editor Wasn't Blufrcd.

Virginia City, May 2G.-No doubs
it will be gratifying to the ncwspa-
per fraternity to know that there is
at least one editor in the state who
will not have his dignity triacd with.
In other words, he will not be
monkeyed with. On Friday last a
man came into the Madisonian office
&nd in a brusque way inquired for
the editor. Mr.. Cheely, being pres
cnt, mcekly pushed himself forward
and answered to his name. Lewis,
the man inquiring for the editor,
who has figured SO prominently in
the police courts this week, immcdi-
ately began abusing Mr.. Cheely for
writing him up in his paper and did
a good deal Of threatening, but con-
trary to the rule, in place Of trying
to cool the fellow Gown with pleasant
words, Cheely at once landed right
hand swing on Lewis; face and invit-
cd him out. Lewis at once accepted
the invitation, but as soon as he got
out he kept right on going and has
not shown up since.

Protect the Farmers,

On October Q, 1891, corn sold in
Mclean County, Ohio: at an average
price of Of 40 cents a bushcl. En-
pirc township, according to the as
SCISSORS return, produced in 1891 a
total Of l50, 100 bushels Of corn.
The crop Of 1896 was practically the
same. At 40 cents a bushcl this corn
brought the farmers s771,959. The
average price on October Q, 1896, in
Mclean county: was is cents Il
bushcl: 50 that the actual value Of
the current crop is sos: G3s-a loss Of
1921. In 1891, oats sold at an
average, on October 0, Of 2G cents q
bushcl. The yield in Empire town
ship in 1891 was so, 900 bushels. AS
suming that the production was the
same in 1896, the crop realized on
the basis Of 1891 values, $2l ,O34 E.
The average price on October 9. 1896,
was 10 cents bushcl, Or 5000, Il
loss Of 81 II: :944 on oats: or SCI ,2G5 on
oats and corn alone. There was pur-
chased in Leroy, in 1891, 1870, 900
pounds Of wool. The production has
declined over onc-hall since then,
but that is fairly chargcablc to the
democratic free trade policy-to the
| enactment into law Of the Wilson
bill. The loss on the wool crop of
Empire township this year, as com
pared with lS9l--thc price then be-
ing is cents pound and 10 cents in
1896 is SO. 400. On these three
items alone the farmers Of Empire
township were S71,GG5 poorer in
1896 than they were in 1891. And
still we wonder at hard times among
the farmers, distraint for rent pro-
ccsscS, and inability Of men who own
land to pay their dcbts.-EX.

Great Falls Justice Says Those Withou

Great Falls Justice Says Those Without
Them Can't Collect Bills.
Great Falls, May 26.-For the past
two days Justice Hughes has been
engaged in hearing the case Of Ben
jamin and Pelzery dentists, against
Sylvia Bryant, an inmate Of house
Of i'll fame, an action to recover 1902
for work performed upon Sylvia's
mouth. The defendant. brought a
contra bill against one of the de-
PENDANTS for a sum equal to the
amount sued for. The case has been
an exceedingly racy one and has held
a crowded. court room two days.
This afternoon Justice Hughes
handed down his decision which cs-
tablishes q precedent inasmuch as
the court holds that when a profess
sional man fails to take out city Ii
cense, as required by the city ordin-
ance, he has no standing in the court
to collect any bill for work done. OF
the work, 81 worth was done prior
to April 80, 1896, to which date the
firm had paid up license. Judg-
ment is therefore rendered for this
amount in favor OF the plaintiff and
Judgment for the defendant for the
balance, the work being done while
the firm had no city license.
The case has excited no inconsider-
able amount Of interest as, doing
business in Great Falls, there are
about a hundred persons who have
never paid any license and who refuse
to pay. Under the decision these,
Including doctors, lawyers, notaries
and other professional men, arc not
entitled to any judgment for work
performed. 1t is expected that a
test case will be made by these per-
sons and carried to the supreme
court for the purpose Of getting an
opinion on the matter. IT the de,
cision of Judge Hughes holds good
on rough estimate, it is 1igurec
that there is $250,00O Of outstanding
bills in this city which can never be
collected by the process Of law
There will be no appeal il the pres
ent case.

Bob Sees Sherman.

the room in the same manner that
he would penetrate restaurant, and
was about to thrust out his ham-like
hand to clasp the delicate digits Of
the secretary and say "How dye
John," when Mr.. Sherman slowly
turned his eyes on him.
The glance contained whole polar

shivcred. His big hand fell limp at
his side and he began to fdgct with
his hat. Por an instant he remained

Hon. Charles Hartman.

Few men in congress arc more pop
ular than bright, brainy Charlie
Hartman Of Montana. rs he generally
called by his associates.
During the SLOW and sometimes
nonotonous talking that goes on
in the house, it is quite cdifying to
suddenly become conscious Of the
fact that the gentleman from Mon.
tana has something to say, for he is
no mean orator, has an excellent
voice and is Il thorn in the side Of
every monOmctallist on the floor.
The money question is a ticklish
enc for a golditc to tampcr with
when Mr.. Hartman is present. for he
has been known to silence his oppOn-
cnt by asking few questions.
Although Mr.. Hartman is an ar
dent bimctallist, his political conyic-
tion DO not interfere with his genial
temperament. for his friends in and
cut of congress are legion. Wash

SETTLERS A2NfING.
Getting Ready for the Settlement OF OId
Scores With the Cheycnncs

Miles City, May 25.--1n response
to a telegram the coroner went to
Rarringcrs ranch, in the vicinity Of
the Cheyenne agency, to view the
body Of Hoover, the sheep herdcr,
which has been found. Some weeks
ago the hcrdcr disappeared, but
search failed to find any trace Of him.
1t was feared that lie had been muir
dercd by the Cheycnncs, he having
accideatly run onto some bucks kill
ing cattle. The coroner left this
morning. Nothing definite will be
known till the end Of the week
though it is generally concluded that
the Indians have killed him.
Miles City, May 27.--T}e body Of
Hoover, the sheep hcrdcr who disap-
pcared some weeks ago, was found
pierced by two bullets, and tracks in
dicatc that the killing was done by
Indians. The coroner has not yet
returned, but the stage that arrived
today brings news of much excite
mcnt among the ranchcrs on the
Upper Tongue river and Otter creek.
Many Of the ranchcrs have sent thcil
families to Sheridan and the men
have congrcgatcd at the big ranch on
Otter creek. The Indian squaws and
children have gathered ut the mis-
sion, while the young bucks have
gathered at Lame Deer. 1t is the
purpose OF the settlers to demand the
surrender Of the murdcrcrs. Ifthcy
arc not given up trouble will prob.
ably follow.
The stage and telegraph today
brought in orders for number OF
guns and much ammunition to both
hardware houses, which will 60 out
by the mornings stage. Invitations
have been set to settlers on Powder
river to join the settlers in making !;
demand that will result in either
stopping the numbering Of white
men by the Cheycnncs, or in wipine
out the tribe that has ever been !;
menace to the white settlers and ca t.
tlcmcn in the country contiguous tc
their agency.

carrying the body Of Il woman up the
bclfry on the date of Blanche La
mont's murder, which cifcctuallv dis
poses Of that document and proves
the unrcliablty OF the writcr AL
though this letter was mailed at
Monte Vista, COL, four days after
Bryant made his affidavit, he states
that he never saw either Gibson or
Durrant to his knowledge, but that
two women, Hester Hicks and Hen
rictta Bigsby had offered him $4,000
to swear that lie was in the church
at the time the murder was commit
ted and that Gibson committed the
crime. Nothing is known of either
woman, and in the light of recent
events Chief Lees has no hcsitancy
in pronouncing Bryant prodigious
liar.

Washington, D. c., May 2G..-Thc
agreement which has been reached
between the conference committee
Of the two houses on the matter Of
tue forestry reserve is not satisfac-
tory to the western senators and
representatives and they viii exert
every possible element to defeat it.
The conference report provides an
appropriation Of $50, 900 for the sur
vcy Of lands that have been or may
be designated as Il forest reserve by
the executive order. 1t suspcnds
Clcyeland's order of February last,
but provides that '';sil lands en-
braccd in Cleyeland'S reservation Or
der not disposed Of otherwise before
March l., 1898, shall again become
subject to the operations Of such Or
dcrs and proclamations as they now
exist or may be hereafter modified
by the PRESIDENT"
Mantle declares strongly against
the so-callcd compromise. 1t seems
probable that the senate may reject
the conference report when a vote is
reached, bnt Judged by the votes
heretofore taken in the house that
body is likely to insist upon an ac-
ccptancc Of the report.
