For Grand Larceny.

Great Falls. Aug. 17.-Charles Nordquist
was brought in from Belt this morning
and this afternoon was arraigned before
Judge Race on a charge of grand lar
ceny. He pleaded not guilty and his ex-
animation was set for Saturday after
noon. D. F. Smith, the complaining wit
ness alleges that he has misappropriated
a check for $50 which Smith made out to
George Orden, Nordquist's brother-in-
law. Smith says that after he had drawn
the check Orden elected to take the cash
and so Endorsed the check and turned {
to account, receiving his money. The
check was put back into the check book
and only day before yesterday was its
absence discovered. Then Smith came to
town and was surprised to learn that his
bank account was just $50 shy. The shy
ness was caused by the payment of the
Orden check and it bore the Endorsement
of Nordquist and also that of Mrs. John
Gonsoir. who had cashed it for Nord-
aust. 1t was learned that Nordquist and
a man named Rich had left Barker on
foot for Belt, and there he was intercept
ed by the deputy sheriff His bond was
fixed at $3.50.

INCREASE SHOWN.


County Is $5,s3O,39O.
Great Falls, Aug. 1.-THE total value
of assessable property in Choteau
county this year, according to the re-
vised tax roll, is $5,S30,390, an increase
of about S245,O00 over the returns of
1898. The tax levy, as fixed by the
board of equalization, is as follows:
County levy: General fund, 51a mills;
contingent fund, mills: Poor fund. 1la
mills; road fund, ~ mills; bridge flu" d,
IA mills: bond fund, 1ss mills; school
fund, 31s mills; total, Is mills.
The levy for state purposes and the
special taxes upon live stock is as fol-
lows:
State funds: General fund, 2h mills;
stock indemnity. Is mill; stock detec-
tive, ~ mills: sheep inspector, 1a mill;
bounty fund, mills.
The addition of two mills to the
bounty fund, made by the state legis-
lature last winter, appears in the tax
levy this year for the first time. The
cattle assessment of Choteau county is
81, 1885, and the state, county and
special tax levies make total of 27R
mills. which calls for the payment of
about S3S,T00 in taxes upon this class
of property.
The sheep assessment of Choteau
county this year is $1.247. 127, and the
rate of taxation under the state, cOun-
ty and special levies is 26 mills This
will call for taxes to the amount OF
about 400 upon sheep assessed in
Choteau county.
On all property except live stock the
levy for the state and county purposes
is z01a mills, which will produce, at a
rough estimate, about $4,000. The to-
tai amount of taxes under the several
levies will be in the neighborhood of
S13T 900.

COOKING BY ELECTRIC CURRENT.
Experiments Have Proved More Success
ful Than Was Anticipated

Among the many uses to which cleo
tricity is now being put, none promises
better results than it's application to
cooking. For some time it has been
used for the heating of the o'clock tea
kettle in Chicago's social circles. elimi-
mating the dangers which are always
incurred when an alcohol lamp is used.
A tea kettle, coffee pot or chatting dish
may be adjusted to the nearest lamp in
a house wired for electric lighting.
The experienced cook knows that
there are dishes which are never seen
in their perfection 10 feet from the fire
that cooked them. People who have
peevish over the way years have de-
Perforated the flavor of some simple
early favorite of the table. Electrical
appliances have done something to
bring back the old conditions. Griddle
cakes baked on a steel griddle, electri-
cally heated to the exact temperature,
lightly brushed with oil, and a crisp
delight as they are Tipped from griddie
to plate. But while this appliance can
be used with the illuminating current,
IL requires an extra attachment, as that
current is too weak. This is generally
put in at the leg of the dining table.
Up to this time electricity has been al
most exclusively used by the woman
who makes a fad of experimental cook
ing, and she has her electric kitchen
fitted up like small laboratory, far
from the domain of the family cuisine.
The whole paraphernalia might fit in
to a tiled closet almost anywhere, so
hooded and ventilated that no odor es-
capes into the surrounding rooms In
one of the apartment houses in New
York dainty little electrical kitchens
have been fitted up where the tenants
have asked for them, although the
apartments were not designed for
housekeeping originally.

IT BRINGS TOP PRICES
Fat Steers and Good Market
for Their Beef.
THICK AND NUTRITIOUS
A Fine Crop of Grass on the Ranges
This Year - Montana Cattle Get
the Highest Returns in the
Chicago Markets.

Great Falls, Aug. 17.-As compen
spring, the cattlemen are likely to have
both fat steers and a good market this
fall. The grass on the ranges was slow
in growing, but it is now both thick
and nutritious and the effect on the
stock is very appreciable. In former
years the Montana shipments have
reached the top prices and there is no
reason to believe that this season will
be any exception. Dakota beef of
rather Indifferent quality has already
brought from $3.50 to $5.25 in Chicago,
and this is the very beginning of the
market. Following the rule of pre-
vious years. Montana stock will consid-
cradle exceed this price. The following
yearly records show the place held in
the Chicago market by Northern Mon
tana beef:
In 1898 the range beef receipts at Chi
cago were officially reported at 195546
head. and prices were from 1925 to IS
per 100 pounds. The top figure of the
season was secured by a Northern
Montana shipment made by George
Drabbs of Hinsdale, Valley county,
which was the only outfit to reach the
IS quotation.
In 1897 the Chicago market received
233, 549 head of range cattle and quo "a
tons ranged from SO to $3.50 during the
| season. The top priceSof $3.50 was paid
for a Northern Montana shipment load
ed at the Benton stock yards by I. G..
Baker of Highwood.
In 1896, according to the Union Stock
yards authorities, range cattle to the
number of 271. 915 head were on the Chi
cago market and the prices of the sea-
son were from $3.50 to $40. The top
price of $40 was paid for six head of
choice Northern Montana steers owned
by George Drabbs of Hinsdale, and the
next best price of the season was $i.25
for a shipment made from Chinook by
C. w. Price of Fort Benton.
In 1895 the Chicago market had big
| beef receipts from the range, the total
for the season being reported at 4S0 1926
| head and prices ruled at from S2.75 to
$50. In this year of heavy receipts
and wide range of values. Northern
Montana beef brought the top price of
| the season with a shipment made by
| Simon Pepin of Havre, which sold at
$50 per 100 pounds.

The Latest News Concerning the Cascade
Boys in Alaska.

Boys IN Alaska
Great Falls, Aug. 17.-P. j. McDermott,
one of Cascade county's contingent in the
Klondike writes the following letter to a
friend in Belt. 1t contains the latest
news from many of the Great Falls and
Belt boys in that country and, although
it is not very encouraging, it will interest
many. He writes:
MY Dear Mike-I have been thinking
for some time of writing you, but the
fact of the matter Is ! have had nothing
to write about. Besides this, l know you
saw J. OBrien, Ed Martin and others,
who told you much more than ! could
write, and then Aunt Peggy's mail serv-
ice is so beastN in this country that a
man has no courage to write, for the
chances are so great against his letter
ever reaching its destination and. should
it have that good fortune, it is a doubtful
matter as to whether you get an answer.
But there is a friend of mine going out
as soon as the river breaks uD and | will
send this letter to the outside world with
him. There are great many people
going out this spring and it will be all
the better for the country, for every
thing is overdone here at present
II saw a man from Dawson a few days
ago and he said there were 5000 men in
Dawson waiting for the washup to COM
mence. There are more broke men in this
place than any country l ever saw. Thou
sands of people came in here last spring
from the Eastern cities who never saw a
mining camp before in their lives. They
did some little work, some of them more
than others, and very few struck any
thing. and now the majority of them are
out of grub and have a distressing tale
of woe to tell. There has been but one
new creek struck since 1 have been here.
That is in Alaska and a tributary of
Forty Mile river. There was one claim
sold there for 100000 and several for less
amounts. I've got a bench claim. the
