TO the Editor Of the Dispatch;
Please inform me If 500 coupon bond,
which was issued by the State Of Mis-
souri, in 1861 Qherefore when the State

Immediately after the war there was
adopted constitutional amendment re-
pudiating all the war debts of the States
in the Confederacy-that is. all debts
made for war purposes. All such bonds
are. therefore. worthless.
We presume the 500 bond issued in
1851 was for war expenses. If. however.

DIARIES FOR MONTANA.
U. u. Allen Purchasing Cows and
Preparing to Establish
CreamerfeS

U. q. Allen, a prominent Montana
creamery man, was registered at the
Merchants yesterday. Mr.. Allen is in
terested with a number of other Mon
tana men in company recently organ
lied to start what will be the largest
creamery In the state Of Montana The
company has already purchased 1000
acres Of land under irrigation. and ex
htbited its faith in Montana as g. dairy
Ing state by investing in a large plant.
MT. Allen is in the city completing ar
rangements for the new enterprise, and
Is purchasing dairy COWS at South ST.
Paul. Mr.. Allen says:
In the whole state of Montana I do
not think there are over a half dozen
Of quite recent origin, depending upon
the stock men for milk 1 think that
there is a great future for Montana as
a dairy state, although at present it
depends almost entirely upon the prod
uct OF other states. The beauty of
dairyfng in Montana is that it costs
very little to feed the cattle, as they
can be turned loose on the ranges in
the morning and rounded up every
night without any expense Of feeding.
There Is no expense in raising the
young cattle, if they are bred at the
right time Of the year. The dry COWS
are turned loose and rustic their own
living the whole year, except during
very severe weather. In Minnesota
and other states principally engaged in
dairying, the farmer has to feed the dry
cows and yearlings for several months
of the year, which increases materially
the cost Of production. In Montana
the grass cures as soon as the cold
weather comes on, and yet retains it's
nutrition.
Many people will wonder why more
dairying is not carried on in Montana,
If the state offers the advantages
claimed for it. The answer would be,
think, that the people have made so
much money in beef cattle out there
that they have had no time to give to
dairying. And further, butter making
and keeping dairy cows require great
deal of labor, and, as long as the ranch
men can turn their cattle loose on the
ranges and see them make money for
them without any physical effort On
their part, they will not go into bust
ness which requires so much labor.
eff we are successful in the manufac-
ture of butter, a few years only will
pass before Montana will be able to
produce the amount Of her own con-
sumption in butter. The cost of pro-
ducing butter in Montana is much less
than here, while the ruling price there
is much higher than the Minnesota
product brings at home"

IS HIS SECOND TERM.
j. II. Sullivan Again Sentenced to
the State Prison.

]. H Sullivan, who was convicted last Fri
day of the crime Of grand larceny in the Sec
ond degree, received the maximum sentence
for his crime yesterday-five years at hard
labor in the Saltwater prison. Sullivan's
counsel, Mr.. Wilde, moved the court to grant
new trial, but Judge Willis denied the mo-
ton.
Asked what he had to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon him, Sulli-
van replied that he had nothing to say.
The court then asked the prisoner If he had
ever been convicted before of any crime Sui
livan confessed that he had served a term in
the state prison under a conviction of grand
larceny in the first degree.
The records show that Sullivan was con-
victed in 1890 of exactly the same offense as
In the present instance, to wit: Picking
mans pocket of watch, except in the former
case the crime being committed in the night
time constituted grand larceny in the first
degree the minimum penalty for which was
then five years. The jury recommended Suli-
van to the mercy of the court and Judge
Kerr, who was presiding, imposed the mini
mum sentence.
In imposing sentence yesterday, Judge Willis
remarked that inasmuch as Sullivan had not
manifested any disposition to reform. as the
result Of his Imprisonment, the court would
impose the maximum sentence for the crime
Of grand larceny in the second degree The
court thereupon pronounced the sentence
committing Sullivan to the state prison at
hard labor for five years.
Sullivan is 81 years of age

PROPOSED PAVING TO WAT.
Board of Public Works Delays Ac-
ton ON Two Streets.

The board of public works yesterday post
poned action on the paving of Nelson avenue
from Summit to Western ard adway from
Seventh to Mississippi street, until May l.
The report of the city engineer to the board
gave the total frontage on Nelson avenue as
400 feet Gates A. Johnson appeared on be-
half OF property owners, representing $500
feet, to protest against the paving being done
this year. The street, Mr.. Johnson said
was not in frst-class condition, but there
were others in worse condition, and with
some repair it could be made to last another
year. City Engineer Rundlett said the pave
ment had been down eight years and was in
a bad condition. The cost per front foot
for asphalt paving was estimated at s.. % per
front foot. e. H. Judson stated that only
two or three of the property owners were in
favor of new paving this year, and the ma
jorfty favored small assessment for repairs
rather than a pavement. The hearing
was adjourned to May 1, but with the present
opposition a new pavement on the avenue
this year Is not possible.
The question of the paving of Broadway
from Seventh to Mississippi streets was also
laid over until May l. CAPT. Berkey and other
property owners insisted that the street was
In fair condition now and there was no
need of burdening the property owners with
assessments. The estimate of the city engin-
that 1t would cost 81 20 per front foot
to pave with asphalt; $780, with sandstone:
and $40, with brick.
The board approved the street force nav
roll, amounting to $1709.10, for the two weeks
ending jan 20.
