Celebration at
GttpnUer.
<

Promptly at twelve o'clock On the
morning OF the Fourth the anvils
doomed forth their salute to the Ma
tons birthday, and Dupuyer's celebra-
ton was commenced. The din was kept
up for several hours and our patriotic
citizens crawled out of bed to partici-
pate in the days observance, as sleep
was now altogether out of the question.
Owing to the fact that the weather
had been threatening for several days,
the pavilion was not built, and the
morning exercises land the dance in the
EVENING" were held in the new church
building, which had been decorated and
otherwise prepared for the occasion.
F. D. Kingsbury, in a few well-chosen
words welcomed to Dupuyer the many
visitors who were with us. The Dec
laration OF Independence was read by
DIR. W. Il. Cord, while probably the best
Fourth of July grafton ever listened to
by a Teton county audience was de-
livered by the Rev. A. w. Hammer.
This, together with the singing OF pat
riotic songs by the school children, con-
stituted the morning exercises.
AT 100 D. IN. came the Mysteriarch
parade, followed closely by the base ball
game between the Pondera club and one
made up of Conrad Ditch and Dupuyer
players. At the end of the game the
score stood Is to 9 in favor of the Dupu-
ycr -Conrad team.
Owing 0 the refusal of the agent to
allow the reservation horses to come
here, the races at the new mile kite
shaped track on the bench north OF
town were not carried out as advertised
However, Dupuyer never does anything
by halves, and the committee arranged
races to accommodate the horses pres
emit. The quarter-mile dash was won by
Tom Manix's Klondike. Time, 24M
The pony race by S. l., POtter's TOpsy
Time, 81. The half mile, as well as the
mile race, was won by Ed. Tanner;
Knock Em4AH Ed Ganong acted as
starter, while E., E. Leech, Ernest
Savory and Timothy Conner we're thu
judges of the races. 4
In the evening, under the direction O
Messrs. Jones and Potter, as fine a dis
play of fireworks as was ever shown i
northern Montana, illuminated tn
heavens.
After the fireworks came the gran
free dance in the church building, tn

Weekly Trade Review.

Bradstreets 2eekly review Of trade
says: Exceptional firrSNess in prices
at the highest level reached. a reason
ably small rate Of business mortality,
undiminished industrial activity, per-
haps most manifest in all branches of
trade in which iron, steel and other
metals enter, and large bank clearings,
reflect to some extent the improved tone
of stocks; but likewise, large payments
on previous profitable business are
among the features reflected in trade
advices. Enlarged shipments of bread
stuffs, induced by crop damage reports
at home and abroad, have not been suf-
ficient to offset liquidation on the late
moderate rise, but this is partially ex-
planned by continued good advices from
the spring wheat crop, confirmed by
liberal receipts at primary points
Iron and steel display all Of their old
and some new strength in the urgent de-
mand for the balance of the year. The
outlook in the trade as regards next
seasons labor scale Is still unsettled.
Union operatives are asking materia;
advances, which are, to some extent,
likely to still further enhance values.
Active demand for refined sugar has
apparently induced some relaxation in
the war among refiners, and raw sugars
share in the advance this week.
Business failures for the week number
17S, as against 100 last week, but COM
pare with 221 in this week a year ago,
256 in 1897, 234 in 1896 and 292 in 1895.
Bank clearings are of course in excess of
last weeks small total, due to holidays,
aggregating $1,S16 1858 or 80 percent
larger than last week, and are per-
cent heavier than in this week year
ago, so percent larger than in 1897, are
nearly double those Of 1896, and SO per-
cent in excess of 1892.
Retail trade has been improved at the
east by the very warm weather, and tex
tiles show no sign of weakening. There
is less speculative demand for wool, but
more general inquiry resulting in fair
business, and the statistical position of
this trade is apparently unimpaired.
Firmness of cotton goods is still a
feature and higher prices for finished
products are foreshadowed.

FRENCH MINISTRY RESIGNED.

Paris, June 13.-Shortly before O'CLOCK
last evening the boulevards presented a
typical Partisan scene. The sidewalks
were crowded with lounging boulevard
iers and every seat at little tables in front
of cases was occupied by a Parisian
intimately discussing the races at Auteil
and everything but the debate in the
chamber Of deputies.
Suddenly the newspaper vendors
rushed along with patches of papers hot
from the press, shouting Fall Of the
ministry" and Special editions" Prom
enaders looked at each other half in
credulously; but the next moment each
newspaper boy was the center of mob,
everybody snatching up the papers.
Carriages, facres and big four-horse
char-a -bancs were just returning along
the grand boulevards from the races, and
their occupants jumped out and Joined
in the melee for the possession of the
papers.

The Weather and Crops.

Boston, June 13.-The United States
department. of agriculture, New Eng
land section, issues the following climate
and crop bulletin for the week ending
June II:
The weather has been generally partly
cloudy to cloudy, with an average amount
OF sunshine. Intense heat prevailed dur
ing the first part of the week, the daily
mean temperature ranging 10 to 20 de-
grees above the normal, with maXima OF
80 to 95 degrees. The latter half of the
week was considerably cooler The
weekly mean temperature for the dis
trict at large was &C degrees, degrees
above the mean of the previous week.
The precipitation consisted mainly OF
local showers and rain on the It'll insult
ticient in quantity to relieve the drought.
In southern and northwestern Connec-
ticut western and central Massachu-
Sets little or no rain fell. The total fall
in Rhode Island was very small. In
other sections from rs inch to rs inch
was recorded. The drought may be
broken this week, as heavy rains have
fallen south and west.
Our correspondents are practically
unanimous in the opinion that the gen.
eral situation has not improved during
the past week, notwithst andng that
| showers occurred in numerous localities,
which, under ordinary conditions, would
| have been sufficient for all needs. AS it
was, the ground greedily received all the
rain that came, and would have readily
absorbed a much more copious supply.
If anything, the drought has increased,
and crops on soils quickly affected by
dry weather have ceased growing and In
many cases have gone backward. On the
other hand, crops on moist soils have, in
certain instances, made satisfactory
growth, especially when we'll cultivated.
Many farmers are considering the ad-
Instability of cutting grass Immediately,
and, in fact, in someof the southern sec
lions hayng has already begun. In other
sections corn is being extensively plant
ed to replace grass. Streams continue
low and falling. Cows are failing in
milk, and stock is being fed at the barn
The outlook is assuredly of discourage
ing character, and a serious crop short.

MAY Result Fatally.

Fitchburg, Mass, June 13.-Willis L.
Russell, farmer of Lunenburg, is locked
up in Fitohburg Jail charged with shoot
ing Peter 0ustafson, Swede, employed
by him on his farm, from the effects of
which it is believed the Swede will die.
Gustafson, who has been in Russels
employ for some time past, has lately
been addicted to drinking, and Mrs Rus
sells patience had become exhausted.
Sunday, while Mr.. Russell was away,
Mrs. Russell ordered the man to clear
out. When MIR. Russell returned he sent
his wife'to the village for an officer while
he remained at home. During her alb
sence Gustafson returned and attempted
to enter the door,, butRussell barred it
against him and ordered him away.
Gustafson then tried to force an en-
trance through window, when Russell
fired at him, the bullet striking him in
the shoulder, passing through into the
lung.

A FIatterinq Testimonial.

Havana, June 13,-The municipality of
H. vana has presented to General Max
limo Gomez a certificate naming him as
an adopted son of the city. The cere-
mony is regarded as high honor, which
has only been bestowed upon such men
as Marti, the elder Cespedes, Calixto
Garcia and Antonio Maceo. Gomez, in
receiving the distinction, is the choice
of the principal cities of the island, all
of which have named streets after him.
The action is generally approved except
by those who habltually oppose him
They say 1t is merely flattering a man
who Is close to the Americans.

The fall of the cabinet was probably
as little of a surprise to M. Dupuy him
self as to parliament or the country,
though it is said he looked rather for
presidential crisis, and had an eye on
the presidency for himself. The crisis
has come, however, rather sooner than
he expected. People were becoming
tired of M. Dupuy's shifty and oppor-
tunist policy, and he is blamed, first. for
not preventing the anti-Loubet demon
stration at Auteuil, which it is held he
might easily have done. and, secondly,
for OVERRIDING the military preparations
last Sunday at Longchamp, as If to
show that M. Loubet dared not show
himself in public without an army to
protect him. Dupuy's idea was prob
ably the same in both cases-to discredit
the president in the eyes Of the nation.
Another cause of dissatisfaction is his
failure to order the immediate prosecu-
ton of General MERCER. But the last
straw was the overbearing conduct of
the police Sunday, which greatly an
noyed the Socialists
Negotiations had already been going
on amongst the disconnected deputies
and, when the chamber met yesterday
M. Dupuy, seeing the large majority
wishing his fall deliberately rode for it
He might perhaps have averted defea
by accepting a coorless order of the
day, but he obstnately insisted on
vote of absolute confidence.
1t is understood that M. Loubet /.
well content to be rid of premier whC
has brought i'll luck, as the super
stitu-ous believe, to every president un
der whom he has served, namely. Car
not, Casimir, Perier and Faure.

Then the people settled down again at
the tables, read the brief bulletin, 1.-THE
government has been defeated in the
chamber and rendered its resignation"
shrugged their shoulders and looked at
each other with a half amused air.
Every trace of interest seemed to dis
appear and the matter was barely dis
cussed throughout the remainder of the
evening"
The 1lrSt news came as a surprise. but
after that Paris accepted the event in
the spirit of oriental fatalism. The fact
is Dupuy's fall was merely a matter of
date. Every Partisan knew he was
standing on the threshold of resignation.
He was not Dreyfusite enough for the
Dreyfusards and too Dreyfusite for the
anti-revisionists.
Nevertheless the vote in the chamber
yesterday came as a surprise even to the
voters, and the Hobbies of the Palais
Bourbon We're afterward crowded with
excited deputies warmly discussing the
prospective results of their own election.
The vote in the chamber of 376 against
1O9 in favor of the priority of M. Vail
lant's motion instead of the order of the
day submitted by MN. Saumande and
Charruyer as asked by NJ Dupuy, was
the first telling of the ministrys funeral
bell. The general opinion among po-
litical men is that Dupuy should then
have accepted the situation, instead of
draining the cup to the dregs
The minority in the final vote on the
motion of Nj. Ruau consisted of moder-
ate Republicans, while the rghtist re-
dictionaries, the extreme Republicans
and the Socialists Joined in the unholy
pact to overthrow Dupuy, who immedi.
ately left the chamber amid leftist shout!
of "vive la republique" and proceeded
to private room. After brief consul
taton with his colleagues he drove t.
the Elysee palace with the resignation
of the cabinet.

the same until in front of the hotel.
The baby carriage, with the baby OF
julius Hartnick in the same, was
standing in front.of Schlikau's shoe
store, when the team struck it, knock
ing the carriage over and breaking the
infants shoulder blade. From there the
team proceeded south, knocking the
sign down in front of Juhnke's shop.
and then making the corner around
the bank, where it upset the wagon,
and then the team ran straight for the
saloon of Fred. Fixsen, where it broke
several windows from the front of that
building. Kopischke was afterwards
arrested on the charge of leaving his
team unhitched on the public thorough
fare. He plead guilty and was fined
$40 and costs.
