the belief seems to be exceedingly well
founded that the press here referred to
as the Lewis press is the first printing
machine that came to Montana
To resume the sketch of the press
itself. Two or three years after the
publication of the East Bannack News
, Letter" j. Allen Hosmer, a printer, be-
gan the publication of a county paper
| in Beaverhead county. and went to
Bannack for that purpose. The enter
prise received little or no encourage
ment and the paper was afterwards
printed at Virginia City. Hosmer's pa
per, the "Beaverhead News" failed and
the little press was dumped in cor
ner in the Post Office" where it re-
manned until presented to the Historic
cal society. The press was successive
ly owned by Messrs. Tom Deyarmon,
Tom Baker, A. B. Kiser and w. w.
Cheeley, proprietors of the Madisonian
The relic of early printing in Montana
was presented to the society by Mr.
Cheeley on Aug. 20, 1897.
This machine, Insignificant as it is,
played a very prominent part in affairs
of state in 1854 and to it is due the
credit of being pioneer anti-monopoly
machine. Judge M. H. Lott, in an ar
ticle in the Madisonian, is quoted as
saying:
I'm 1854, when the territory was Or
ganized, my brother John S. was ap-
pointed territorial auditor. In the fol-
lowing winter the first territorial legis-
lature ordered some printing of blanks,
which he offered to Tilton & Dittes,
but they, supposing they had the only
press in the territory, put the prices so
outrageously high that l, who was in
business with my brother in Nevada,
knowing of the press being in Bannack
went over and bought it, with the
types, and we did the printing of Ii
censes and other blanks ourselves. The
press was subsequently sold to Allen
Hosmer, who printed the Beaverhead
News and Trip Down the Yellowstone
on it."
The mechanical CONSTRUCTION of the
old press and Its method of operation
will be seen at a glance. The entire
affair is about two feet square. The
cone-shaped contrivance is a roller with
a handle, by means of which it is re-

he says, exist, we believe, anywhere
than are found in our gulches; while
rich quartz leads abound through our
territory. The amount of precious met
ais existing in these leads will not be
known for hundreds of years; for none
can estimate the period when they will
be exhausted So that the future of
Montana Territory is bright and daz-
Zling."
Speaking of the placer diggings at
Virginia City, the Post says: Many
persons are taking out $3.50 per day to
the hand. Wages are high, from Sc to
S12 per day. Old miners have the pref
erence, as they are worth much more
than green hands. Anything in the
shape of labor commands high rates
The other side of the picture
is this-we desire not to deceive but to
give facts. All the claims around our
city, as matter of course have long
since been taken up. These must be
purchased, and that too at very high
figures. A pilgrim. as the emigrant

appear in enlarged form. But" adds
Mr.. Lowell, just then the Alder gulch
stampede occurred and Bannack was
depopulated; so that the enlarged
News Letter did not materialize"
In sketch written by j. r. Wilson
entitled The Press of Montana" and
read at the first meeting of the Mon
tana press association, the sentence oc-
ours, In September, 1863 D. w Tilton,
now OF Butte, arrived at Virginia City
bringing with him small printing out
mt, consisting of small job press and
a limited number of fonts of job type"
From this the inference may be drawn
mat Mr. Wilson was under the impress
sion that Mr.. Tilton's was the first press
employed in Montana. The logical
conclusion, however, clearly seems to
be that to Lewis belongs the distinction
or being the pioneer printer of the ter
ritory. In support of this belief it may
be we'll to state that the Lewis press
was brought to Bannack prior to the
Alder gulch stampede, as per the state
ment of Mr.. Lowell quoted above and
OF others. The rush ITO Alder gulch oc-

editions of the News Letter" must
have been issued in May, 1868.
Attention may also be called to the
fact that Joaquin Miller's History of

Boiling Eggs for the Bishop,
the Penny MAGAZINE.

From the Penny Magazine
Bishop Paret (Episcopalian) of Balti-
more some time ago was the guest of
an Episcopal family in West Virginia.
Learning from the bishop that he liked
hard boiled eggs for breakfast, his hos
tess went to the kitchen to boil them
herself.
While so ngaged she began to sing
the first verse of the we'll known hymn,
Rock of Ages" Then she sang the
second verse, the bishop, who was in
the dining room, joining in. When it
was finished, there was silence. The
lady herself came into the room few
minutes later, carrying the eggs, and
the bishop remarked:
Why not sing the third verse;"
The third verse?' she replied. "Oh,
that's not necessary"
Il don't understand" replied Bishop
Paret.
why. you see, bishop" she replied
when ! am cooking eggs l always sing
one verse for soft boiled and two for
hard boiled"

A PERILOUS POSITION.
Tom OchiItree's Niece Saved From
Fearful Death.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-Hanging by her
in the fifth story of the Victoria Hotel,
yesterday afternoon, a fair-haired,
beautiful girl made a thousand per-
sons shudder as they thought Of her
probable fate, and hearts warmed in
unison as they saw her dragged from
her perilous perch and fall into the
arms of her uncle, Colonel Thomas
Ochiltree- It was the first time in his
life, as he afterward said, that Tom"
Ochiltree was nonplused.
In Keokuk. Ia, Ochiltree has niece
of whom he thinks more than mankind
ordinarily is given to think Of nieces.
She was scarcely in her teens when
she was thrown from a horse and sus-
tanned an injury that afterward served
TO unsettle her mind. The girls con-
dition became worse as years passed.
and at a consultation of physicians
summoned by Colonel Ochiltree a few
weeks ago it was decided that she must
be sent to some sanitarium for an op-
GRAFTON and long course Of treatment.
Yesterday she accidentally learned
what was to be her fate, and when her
uncle knocked on her door she jumped
to the window and out upon the fire
escape, crying out against her proposed
incarceration.
Promise me that you won't take me
to the sanitarium and I won't jump,
she called with her face pressed
against the bars of the railing.
Ochiltree tried to argue with her, but
che No Cha would have
dropped from sheer exhaustion, but as
Ochiltree hesitated, a form flashed
through the window and grasped the
slender waist of the girl as she, fright
ened by the apparition, released her
hold. 1t was nip and tuck for mo-
ment, and the crowd below uttered cries
of alarm as the man who had come
to the rescue hung half balanced over
the railing.
The weight of his chest and shoulders,
with the added burden of his arms,
dragged him out and downward as with
his feet he, seemingly in vain, sought
to secure a hold that would place him
in a position Of safety. The blood
was surging to his head and his senses
reeled when the stalwart Colonel sprang
forward and caught both forms in his
arms. For a second. the three hung
motionless above the crowd. The feet
of the first rescuer had given up their
brief purchase. Both he and the girl
hung unsupported, save by the Col
onels strength.
Slowly Ochiltree began to pull in. The
weight seemed a ton to him. With
one arm he encircled the two forms,
with the other he clung to the fire es-
cape. Slowly he drew up the double
weight until the first man was able
to grasp the iron rungs and the aged
Pescuer. In another moment the three
were safe upon the landing.

APPENDICITIS.
It's Comparative Rarity in Eng
land.


Now that appendicitis has been given
a respectable antiquity, perhaps the
English practitioner will begin to rec
ognize it officially. The difference be-
tween the frequency of appendicitis in
England and in America is something
astonishing. We have talked with in
telligent English physicians in large
practice, and they have assured us that
they do not see three cases a year, and
with consulting surgeons who operate
almost as infrequently We can hardly
believe that all this discrepancy is due
to the greater frequency of the disease
on this side of the Atlantic, although a
decided difference is proved to exist by
the rarity with which appendicitis mis-
chief is found in the routine autopsies
at the great hospitals. Our English
brethren, with characteristic frankness
and self-depreciation, explain it by the
statement that appendicitis is the rage
in America, and we diagnose it to
please our patients. Others, even more
benighted, ascribe it to the fact that
we eat "such beastly lot of fruit a
weak and reprehenSible habit fit only
for children and ''furriners." The truth
probably lies between us, too great an
enthusiasm to be fully abreast Of the
pathologic procession, on our part, ana
too strong a tendency to keep a safe
distance behind it, on theirs Possibly
the mixture Of nationalities and
changed environment, in our new coun-
try, may make our atrophying ap-
pendicular remnant" even more vari-
able and unstable. English corre-
spondent of Journal of the American
Medical Association.

The thirty-six Galician laborers who
have been imprisoned in Oahu Jail
since November, 1898, for deserting
contract service with the Oahu Plan
tation, We're released to-day upon or
ders from Attorney General Cooper,
Hackfeld & Co, who We're the contract

the cabinet a formal consent to their

These Galicians were lot of over
2O0 brought here more than a year ago
under three years contract. The strik-
ing laborers complained of alleged i'll
treatment by an overseer and refused
to work. After a trial before a mag
istrate, they were sentenced to be held
in jail until they consented to return
to the plantation. They have been in
durance ever since.
The British steamer Carmarthenshire,
Captain c. H. Burch, arrived this morn
ing from Yokohama with 601 Japanese
laborers. Owing to a suspicious case
of fever on board the vessel was placed
in quarantine, and will be held until
DR.. Day is satisfied as to the nature of
the disease. The Carmarthenshire was
brought to anchor near the Pacific Mail
wharf, and the hundreds of Japanese
on board swarmed over her deck to
see the sights Of the place that is to be
their home. OF the Col that will be
landed here, ninety-five are women. The
men came to work as contract laborers
on various plantations. Five japanese
are on board, bound for San Francisco.
One stowaway was locked up below.
The vessel left Yokohama ON the 18th,
and her officers report an easy trip,
but some of the japanese suffered Sc
verely with seasickness. Even after
the vessel was anchored several Of
them lay helpless on the deck. The case
that attracted the attention of the
Quarantine officer is not thought to be
a dangerous fever, but a careful dag
nosis will be made.
The Carmarthenshire will leave for
San Francisco on Monday if she is
allowed to dock and unload in time to
do so. She is a regular steamer Of the
San Diego line, and has been at his
port several times before. In addi-
tion to her human freight, she brought
a large cargo of rice, beans, japanese
pickles and general merchandise.
