W. L. Curtis, the well known cor
respondent, in an article on Col. d..
b. Henderson, the next speaker of the
house, has the following which shows
the kind oi stuff the great lowan is
made uf:
At the battle OF Shiloh Henderson
got IA lump Of rebel lead which has
been a source Of trouble to him ever
since. The surgeons cut off his leg
on the battlefield to save his life and
made "a poor job OF 1t. The wound
never healed, and four times since has
that leg been amputated, the last
time about two years ago. The
quality Of General Henderson'snerve
may be judged by the fact that on
that occasion he declined to take
ether, but sat up on the operating
table and directed Incorporation him
self. Three times before II had been
badly done without his supervision,
and this time he intended to have 1t
right.

It was left for the Helena lude-
pendent TO ~reiteratc the exploded
story about the cruelty OF American
troops toward Filipino prisoners.
The New York Evening Post was the
first to give publicity to these tales
of barbarity which were promptly
and emphatically denied by the Fill
pino commissioners who are on the
scene and know what they are talk
ing about. The Post was cornered
but like all c%opperhead sheets did not
have the honesty or decency 10 retract
it's charges. II anything, American
troops have been far too lenient in
their treatment of the rebels. 1t IL
not characteristic OF Americans to
resort to cruelty, on the other hand
they are noted for their generosity
and humanity in dealing with pris-
oners of war. In all of the letters
received from Montana soldiers we
do not know OF an instance where
mention is made of cruelty in the
treatment Of prisoners, and we be-
lieye when our soldiers return To tell
their experiences in the war they will
give the lie to such reports.

GOOD PRlCIS FOR WOOL.

Edward +. May, the well-known
%woolbuyer and member of the firm
OF jeremiah Williams 4 Co., Of Bos-
ton, is the first buyer to reach Great
Falls this season. Mr.. May has not
visited the state in quest Of wool
since 1885 and his presence now
would indicate n desire to get hold
OF some of the valuable clips for
which northern and central Montana
are noted.
To u Leader reporter Mr.. May ex-
pressed the belief that Montana wool
will bring as good prices this year as
last, providing the quality ri the
wool is the same, and some Of the
best OF it may even command n
higher figure. The demand, however,
is likely to be more or less spccula-
tive, as il demonstrated by the fact
that at the present time wool brings
q higher price in the west than the
east. The greatest trouble to be an
t'cipated this year Is the effect of the
hard winter On the quality OF the
wool. II there are breaks in the
staple caused by bad weather and
insufficient feed, il will OF course re-
duce the value OF a clip materially,
while II a clip is a good, long, sound
staple, it will likely bring the top
price, all herconditions beingequal.
Altogether, Mr.. May IL Of the opin-
ion that the coming season will be a
good one for the grower, and that
much money is liable To be made in
the next few years in the sheep bust.
nes
Mr.. May thinks it quite likely that
some of the best clips will bring
higher prizes than last year. while
Others will scale considerably lower,
the result being that the whole will
average slightly higher.
The Boston market report seems &c
support Mr.. Mays views as 10 tbs
prices that will prevail. and the Lon.
don wool sales on the 24th inst. ar,
expected to further strengthen the
market.
Good prices for wool will In a meas
ure make up for the loss OF lamb,
SUSTAINED by growers during tn,
severe spring weather. The stapl,
will be better than was anticipated
a month or two ago.

The last issue of he Juab County
Republican clearly shows the animus
Of It's attacks against State Senator
Smoot, also the identity OF the real
author Of the Republicans abuse. One
Of our main reasons for taking up the
matter was our desire To positively
identify the source OF the charges
against Senator Smoot. That object
has been attained, and the Republican
admits that its charges are all basel on
hrarsay several times removed. and
practically admits them due TO a
disappointed political aspirant. There
Is therefore no use of continuing u dis
puie. when nothing but hearsay and
jealousy can be advanced on the other
side. We are, however, sorry tor that
disappointed representative Democrat
