PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.


The name of Captain Joe Walsh was
presented TO the convention for this
Office by f. i. Law in a ten minutes
speech that won round after round of
applause and which must ever be
counted as one Of the ablest, most for
cible and eloquent nominating speeches
ever delivered in the county. Mr.. Law
did himself proud. It may be added
that he has been found working for the
benefit of the party, reunitiDg of all
factions, and an earnest advocate of
harmony during the recent contests.
+. +. Law deserves well of the repub-
lican party, and we now predict that
his party will recognize his ability and
worth when opportunity presents itself.
The remainder of the ticket was nomi-
mated by acclamation and is as follows

A CAVALRY POST.
Carter says That Fort Missoula viii Not
Be Abandoned.

Missoula. July 2S.-If what Senator
Carter said when here is true, there is
good reason To believe that Fort Mis-
soula will be r~eoccupied. and probably
by cavalry. The senator stated positive
ly that the post had not been aban-
doned, and that il is carried by the war
department as an active station. The
removal Of the fixtures, according to
senator Carter. does not signify that
there will be no Others brought here. He
was positive in his statements regarding
the situation. and says that II will not
be long before there is something def
mite in regard to the future OF FCIt Nils
soula. In "A short time 1t is expected
that there will be some order made by
the war department that will settle the
matter for the present. n it is the
opinion Of those who are i'm a position to
know that this order will be encourage
ing to the people of Missoula.

They tell rather good story about
II. r. H., the prince of Wales. A
couple of weeks ago he was taking a
walk in st. James park before break
fast, when he found himself followed
by welldressed but crazy-looking
old woman. Having seen this woman
before, and probably guessing what
her object was, the prince resolved to
take no notice of her, but continued
his walk until obliged to turn home
ward. The woman immediately stood
before him and curtsied. The prince
raised his hat and tried to pass on. II
have a grievance, your royal high
ress,' began the stranger, producing
from her handbag roll of closely
written parchment. "Ach, madam.
these is not re first time / have been
taken for re prince of Wales:" was the
reply in a gruff voice with strong
German accent. After flashing n
glance of deepest scorn upon him, the
cid lady put away her precious docu-
ments, remarking: II have the honor
to have known all the members of the
royal family, and, if my eyesight were
Iot becoming bad nowadays | should
not have made such an astonishing er-
ror as to take you for the prince"
The prince of Wales again took off his
hat. smiled and proceeded on his way.
