THE COLONEL WASN'T vACoINA1ro.

The old colonel was seated before a
south window at an early hour when
he was informed of the approach of
the vaccinating brigade, says the At

He walked to a rack in the hall and
got an ancient rifle; then he Shout
dered it and walked to the veranda.
The brigade bore down on him, but
halted at the gate, held a brief con-

Fine morning, Colonel"
"A d-n fine morning, gentle
men," was the Colonel's response.
And then the brigade passed on.

The state board of pardons has APP
proved the action of Acting Governor
Spriggs in granting unconditional par
dons TO Henry Kingery and William Will
cox, who were sent to the penitentiary
from Madison county November %, 1894,
for five years for highway robbery. The
pardon lets them out about seven months
sooner than if they had served their time
with the usual allowance for good be-
havior.
George Turner, who has been working
all of the summer on the new barracks
at Fort Yellowstone, says that before he
left there were about five or six inches
of snow on the ground and the game
was coming down from the mountains
in large numbers A herd of 500 elk
grazed on rise above the fort, and it
was common for deer to come down into
the camp. The stage drivers said that
mountain sheep were seen sometimes in
punches of as mary as IL on the cliffs.
During the year just closed Montana
stock inspectors recovered 1904 head of
strays, the value of which, three quar-
tiers of a million dollars, was, or will be,
distributed to their owners. The board
reports the total value of Montana
stock output for 1897 to be $9,500,000.
During the year 1921 cattle were mar
keted outside of the state, while about
10000 were consumed within it. The to-
tai output was about 1000 cattle short of
the number shipped during the season of
1896, but as prices were better during the
year just ended, more money was re-
ceived by the Montana stockmen than the
previous year.

John Dauterman and John Goetsch. and
Foy bonded half interest for $4,000,
the life of the bond being Is months,
from Oct. /. Rich ore was found near
the surface. and tunnel is now being
run which will tap the lead at consid-
cradle depth. When in 80 feet the min
ers encountered an immense iron lead the
width of which is as yet unknown. 1t
carries gold in small quantities and may,
some day, be valuable for fluxing pur-
poses. Mr.. Foy has no idea of abandon

thinks is a continuation of the same vein.
Dividends by the Reco.
The Reco mine, in the Slocan, on Jan
uary paid a dividend of 100000, max
ing the total dividends paid to date $751;
600, of which $250,000 was paid since Jan
uary !, 1897. S. M. Wharton, one of the
owners of the mine. said the other day
that another 100000 dividend will be
declared within 60 days. Mr.. Wharton
is also interested in the Cliff mine, near
Rossland, and says it will soon be one of
the dividend payers.
Must wait for Money
Beginning with the year the smelters
have adopted new rule that will hardly
suit mine owners, says a Wallace, Idaho,
dispatch. Heretofore they have made
contracts with shippers by which they
could have ore sampled at various sam
ping works and final settlements would
be made on the basis of the samplers as
say. Since January they have declined
to make any more such contracts, declar-
ing their final settlements would be made
on the mineral in the ore as shown at the
smelter. The result of this would be that
instead of knowing just what the ore was
worth, and being able to draw for the
amount the day it was shipped the mine
owners can not know the value of car
of concentrates until from four to six
weeks after shipment is made.

Mr.. BLISS HAS DOUBTS.
Does Not Believe All He Sees In the
Papers About Indians.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-W E. Curtis wires as
follows to the Record from Washington:
Secretary Bliss and the officials of the war
department do not credit the sensational re-
ports that. are telegraphed to the St. Paul
papers and repeated to the other papers of
the country. They do not conform at all to
the official kilograms received at the war and
interior departments. Both the Indian agents
and the military authorities In Minnesota are
keeping vigilant watch over affairs. They
report that only small portion of the Pill
lager band is in state Of instruction and
that no assistance or even sympathy is being
offered them by the members of the neighbor-
ing tribes. On the contrary, the secretary of
the interior is advised from most reliable
sources that the old men of the Pillager band
are using all their influence to prevent any
further disturbance and to persuade the Of
tenders to surrender themselves.
Gen. Bacon reports that the hostiles num-
Der only thirty or forty young bucks, who

Oct. fO).-The Spanish newspapers in
Manila are reveling In the unprece-
dented atmosphere Of freedom and crit
icise the American authorities in a
way they never would have dared to
criticise their own government. for the
Spanish censor has now joined the
great army of unemployed, and the
United States censor confines his at
tention to cablegrams going abroad
The Oceania and Popula of Aug 81
contains a fierce article, entitled
Chaos, pointing out that no other
word can describe the condition of
Manila under it's new rulers The ar
ticle complains that the American au-
thcrfties have removed public officials
and have failed to appoint their sue
ceSsOrS, thereby creating great confu-
sion and hardship to the population Of
the Philippines. The editorial says:
Thousands of poor trades people, la
bOrerS, contractors and others have
been doing business for the municipal
authorities of the different wards, and
now everything Is stopped, and the
poor people cannot even get the money
due them for work done or goods sup
piled prior to the surrender. To thou
sands in this city one small silver dol
lar makes all the difference between
starvation and contentment, yet all
the dollars in the treasury have been
seized by the Americans. Perhaps
some day all debts shall be paid, but
