r. S. Hamilton returned from Helena
last Thursday accompanied by Mrs.
Hamilton who had been under the doc
tors care at the capital for several
months past. The coach on which they
arrived did not reach Lewistown until
4 p. IL. owing to a mishap on the Mon
tana railroad at Dorsey, the forward
truck on a refrigerator ear beco ming
d~islocated and jumping the track. Mr..
Hamilton says Helena is lively but
nothing to what it will be when the legis-
lature meets.
The Christmas number of the Daily
lntcr-Mountain, containing forty six
pages, has reached us. The issue is a
credit to the Inter Mountain plant in
all its features. While considerable at
tention is given to the mining interests,
Of which it is an able representative,
all industries and all sections of the
state received liberal space. Fergus
county has an excellent writc-up from
the pen of Mr.. Hal. Hoffman, now con-
nected with the ARGUS. The illustra-
lions throughout the number are good.
The storm which was threatened in a
steady wind for ten days or more broke
into a shower OF snow last Friday
night and several inches of ''the beau
tiful' fell on the level. On waking up
Saturday morning those who imagined
they were in the banana belt realized
that they had a taste Of genuine winter
of the sort that is usually welcome at
Christmas. On Saturday the wind
abated and the weather resolved itself
into a uninterrupted calm that has as
suredly given Santa Claul good sleding
into Lewistown.
During the past year very few civil
cases have been settled in the district
court in this county, mostly because
there has been no time to take them up

with suits the parties to which have
been patiently waiting, in some in,
stances, for over a year. No blame can
be attached to the court in this. how,
ever, as it is impossible to foresee the
probable amount of business months
ahead, and the law provides that tn,
terms must be fixed in January for the
next year. AS this condition will bI

will reside in L~ewistown, a suggestion
has been made to Judge Elect CheadlC
that, in setting the terms, he fix tn,

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
wheat Develops stronghold strong
Demand for Hogs.

! CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Wheat was nervous
but developed considerable strength. The
| local trade was Inclined to sell on the Esd
lower Liverpool cables. Their otferi ngs
were easily absorbed by commission
houses. Paris had a further advance of
1-261 centime Bradstreets reported a
decrease of 1,254. GOO bushels in the world s
visible. Shippers continue TO report a
good cash demand, but find the elevator
people unwilling to sell.
Corn closed little better than Monday:
1-Sd1-4c better. Early in the day there
was a rather easy tone, but the entire
range was only 3-ic. Liverpool was La
esd lower. and there was some talk OF n
moderate increase in Western offerings.
There was better weather. The closing
clearances. The shipping demand was only
fair. In the last hour there was some
demand for futures from interests which
are supposed TO be long on q large scale.
The oats experience was similar to the
corn, a fractional yielding early and a
recovery at the close. The days range
was only Lie. The demand for futures
was from local shorts There was come
sympathy with the wheat frmness.
Another light hog movement today gave
strength 10 provisions early, but selling by
packers and rather liberal realizing sales
brought about a small decline, and the
market closed steady. The purchase of a
line of ribs was credited TO a large local
packer Continued light hog receipts are
bound TO affect the prices Of product sooner
or later. The cash demand" was moderate.

The Commissioners yesterday Afternoon,
made report favoring the extension of
Columbia Road east to Stueben Street. and
offered substitute bill for the one which
has been introduced in the Senate and
House, with this object in view. The sub
stitute, It is said, is materially the same as
the original bill. but it is more explicit in
its provisions as TO how the land shall be
acquired for the extension.
Ii is estimated that 1880 square feet
of land will be required to make the ex-
tension and the cost Of the work will be
s24, 76S at the rate OF sixty cents per foot.
In their report the Commissioners state
that Columbia Road is the only street run
ming east and west which connects Col
umbia and Washington Heights with the
other sections OF the suburbs north OF
Clifton Street. which does not run through
to Sheridan Avenue.

CARRY HEAVY INSURANCE.
Some Members of Royalty Have Theil
Lives Insured for Very
Large Amounts.

The late duke of Edinburgh's life
was insured for 100000, and that
huge sum will have to come out OF
the Golfers of the insurance societies
Scarcely a single English insurance
company was without some interest
in Prince Alfred's life, but the criti.
cal state of his royal highness' health
during the past four years had given
the companies ample warning that
the day of reckoning was approaching.
They will not, in consequence, be
heavily hit by the dukes sudden death,
even though the sum is one of con-
siderable magnitude, for most of the
firms had secured themselves with
guarantee societies.
Royalties have ever been extensive
insurers. Many of them, while they
enjoy practically unlimited incomes
during their lives, are unable to be-
queath anything except to their eld-
est sons. Insurance gives them the
opportunity of makin~ some provision
for their younger sons and daughters.
King Humbert of Italy was no ex-
ception to this rule among the royal
houses, and his tragic death will make
heavy call upon some of the in
surance societies, who will pay out
considerable sums to Queen Marghe-
rita. London underwriters are ap-
preciably affected by his death.
Queen Victoria has been small
gold mine to the insurance companies,
owing to her majesty's long life. Not
only did the queen insure her own life,
but hundreds of leases in the city ex-
pire with the queen and the holders
in consequence have all insured her
majesty's life. The prince of Wales
is similarly insured for largo sums,
but there are net many large policies
on Kaiser Wilhelm.
