The smallpox situation at Bridger is
practically unchanged this week. There
are no new cases reported.
The death of Henry Willard recalls
to old-timers of Butte the famous driv-
ing of the golden spike on the Northern

Bridger train.
State Veterinarian M. E. Knowles

to the Northern Pacific railway at
Laurel caught fire and was entirely
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
about $1,000. The household goods be
longing to the man who ran the pump
James Fraser, were mostly saved.
1t is being demonstrated more and
more every year that if the arid lands
of the west and of Montana are to be re
claimed, it will be due not to the effort:
of the people of the west and of the
northwest, so much as to the work o.
the merchants, manufacturers and job
bers of the east.

Washington, Dec. 3-Caroll d. Wright,
commissioner of labor, has completed his
10th annual report. 1t embraces data rel
alive to highest, lowest and average wages
paid and the hours of labor in 81 countries,
provinces and colonies, exclusive of Al
states and territories in this country. This
compilation is taken from authentic oili-

inquiry The very nature of the work pre-
vents any summary. 1t gives quotations
for each country as far back as any official
statement was to be found and down to
the present year. These quotations are
for 1859 occupations and subdivisions OF
occupation. The facts are taken from
nearly 1900 different official reports and
they cover 900 definite results.

Annapolis Won.

Philadelphia, Dee 3-On Franklin field
the navy retrieved its defeat OF last year
by thrashing the army by a score of IL to
I. 1t was fierce contest from beginning to
end and was only won by the hardest kind
of playing on the part of the Annapolis
cadets. The West Point boys, in the face
of defeat, never for a moment weakened III
their play and won the applause of the
multitude of spectators for their glmeness.
Neither team played gilt edged football,
but what they lacked in the finer points
Of the game the eevens made up by the
zeal and earnesmess with which the players
went at each other. Their tacklng was
marked with a reckless abandon which
stirred the army and navy officers in the
crowded stands into wild enthusiasm.

refusal to receive Mr.. Kruger has
caused general surprise here. Most of
the morning papers make it an excuse
for articles sympathizing with the Boer
statesman and condemning the kaiser.

Lohengren," says the Echo de Paris,
"but simple disciple of Bismarck.
His attitude is dictated by the inter

identical with those of England"

famous telegram of 1896 to Mr.. Kruger

Newport, Wash, Dec. Am accident
which may cost the life OF Engineer G.. C..
Carter occurred on the Great Northern
railway one mile east of Newport. Light
engine 72S, running as the second section
of No. 4, left Newport about 3 p. m, and
While rounding curve where the track
leaves the river bank it is supposed the
tender left the track, dragging the engine
with it down a 80 foot embankment.
Neither Engineer Carter nor Conductor G.
h. Burlington, who we're in the cab seats,
had a moments warning of the impending
disaster. Fireman James Lynch, who was
on the engines deck, putting in a fire, felt
the tank jump the rail but had no avenue
of escape and went down with the engine
unconscious of anything further until res
eued from beneath the cab. He was only
slightly injured, while Conductor Bufling
ton was badly bruised about the head anC
shoulders. his right arm and leg sus
tanned severe bruises. Engineer Carter wa
pinned beneath the engine and scalded con
siderably by escaping steam and waite
from the boiler. He also sustained frac
ture of the skull, and is supposed to hav
received internal injuries that will proba
bly, prove fatal.
The engine is total wreck and lies a
! the bottom of a steep embankment. Tn
escapes of Burlington and Lynch with thei
lives is nothing short of miracle.

FREIGHT ON SOUTHERN LINE.

Commenting upon the earnings of
Southern railroads the Boston Finan-
cial Information Company. says:
THE Southern roads, particular
ly Louisville and Southern Rail
way, are already feeling the
good results OF the increased price
of cotton. Increased prices work fav
orably for the railroads i'm two ways.
The higher price results from good
demand. which insures the freight of IT
in instances at increased rates, while
the larger price not only allows, but
urges the producer to indulge in the
luxuries as well as the necessities of
life, and the railroad has to carry them
10 him. Cotton is not the only thing,
however. as it used to be, in the South.
