A SALES.
TWO Wool Clips Actually soId-Four-
teen Cents Offered.

From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The local wool market has been,
rather poor the past two days, the
sales yesterday being ever less than
those OF the day proceeding. The
growers are not showing a very anx
ious disposition to sell at the prices
quoted and seem to think that by
holding a few days or shipping on
their own order that they will realize
more. The hot weather has. in a de-
gree, had something to do with the
light sales also. for the buyers do not
feel like looking at very much wool.
Two large clips were offered yester-
day, but at last reports the highest
bids on neither had been accepted.
The only sales recorded aggregate
$4,000 pounds.
The following are the results of
the days dealings:
Louis Hoffman. White Sulphur
Springs; 100000 pounds. The high
est bid was 1895 cents from jeremiah
~ 80
williams q Co. Mr.. Hoffman does
not think that he will accept the offer.
Montana Cattle company. Merrill;
1ss6,v0o pounds. jeremiah Williams
& Co. were the highest bidders at IA
cents. The offer had to be referred
to John T. Murphy, the president at
Helena, but at last reports, last
night, nothing had been heard from
1t.

SHEEP MANS IDEA.
Considers Billings as Good Place for
WooIen Mill.

SaUNSe Hl&H tfNsv SVsSsS ~ fWHTN%~e I#InMI
II have noticed with much interest
the efforts Of The Gazette to stir up
your monied men and sheep owners
in the matter Of building a wooden
mill at this point" remarked q well
known woolgrower Of the northern
part Of the state who happened to be
in the city a few days ago. Modesty
prevented him from permitting his
name to appear, but he is a man of
standing and prominence and well
known business sagacity. II am sur
prised," he continued, that some of
the enterprising. and far seeing men
of your community have not long ago
taken up the matter without waiting
for a newspaper ostell them what a
good business proposition such an
enterprise would be, not only for the
community, but for the promoters
themselves. The capital required to
launch such an institution need not
be unreasonably large. Twenty-Five
thousand dollars. to my way Of think
ing, would prove ample as a starter.
You have excellent building material
In your sandstone right at your doors
and 1t could be quarried and delivered
for a ridiculously small amount. Then
you are located in the very heart
Of the wool growing regions Of east
ern Montana and have the added ad-
vantage Of having two lines of railroad
to put you In communication with the
territory to which you wonld have to
look for q market for the finished
product. Coal can be had here at
reasonable figures, and II it were de-
sired to employ some power other
than steam to operate the plant, I
think it could be had from the river.
The fall the Yellowstone has is sui
Acient to furnish all the water power
needed for almost any sort Of a man
ufacturing enterprise. AL that would
be required would be to go above the
city the required distance and build
a dam and operate the mill by water
direct or install an electric power
generating plant and locate the mill
at almost any point desired.

A New Medical Work,

We are in receipt of advance pages
OF the new domestic practice work in
preparation by DR.. M. @. Keith, of
Bellville, Ohio. The general intro
duction of over thirty pages gives
general history of medicine from the
time of Hippocrates to the present in
its leading features. The author is
happy in Illustration, forcible in
asserting a theory, and convincing in
conclusions. That the work differs
from the accepted medical theories of
the regular school is true, but it is
not to be scotfed down by cYnics who
refuse to Investigate it's claims for
recognition. Its sensible method of
treating fevers and their causes will
appeal to reading and thinking people
whatever the opinions of the medical
fraternity may be as to their merit.
Intelligent people understand that So
called medical science is bundle of
absurdities and its practice is one
round OF experiments. Science in
surgery is acknowledged but theory
in medicine that administers poisons
such as iodine, calomel, strychnine,
phosforus; anti-febrine, anti-pyrine,
muriaric acid, creasote, aconite, bella
donna and snake poisons is of ques-
tionable value as medical science.

Jee, how pleasant this cool weather
feels.
On Wednesday, July oath, probably
the hottest day in our memory, some
of our neighbers we're threshing all
day.
We believe that the thermometer
should be quoted what it regi sters in
sun, not in the shade, as all the farm
ers work in the sun.
1t is reported that on the Oath the
thermometer reg istered in the sun
from 125 to 145 deg, In the shade lis
above zero.
Thos. Pecinoysky was overcome by
heat one day last week. 1t took his
physician some time to restore him;
he is now out of danger.

The corn crop which was considered
by many to be failure will be up to
the average, oats are above the aver
age. 1t is the pastures in this locality
that show most the effect of the ex-
cessiye heat.
Threshing is progressing finely, grain
is turning out o. K, much better
than expected.
The harvest has come and gone,
most every body is kicking about
small crops. We lind these same

THE RIcEvILLE FIRE.

on Saturday, July goth, the noon
day quiet of Riceville was broken at
1880 by the alarm of fire. Thirty
minutes later the entire business por-
tion of the town was sea of flame.
For two hours the fire tiend reigned
supreme and at the end of that brief
time no less than sixty buildings were
in ruins and twenty-five families
homeless. In spite of the awful
heat the citizens fought heroically to
save their places of business and homes.
but their efforts counted for little
against the terrible fury of the flames.
Those who were close to the origin of
the fire had time to get few, if any, of
their goods to place of safety, many
goods being destroyed after being re-
moved. Many of those who lived in
the second stories of the store build
1ngs were fortunate to escape with
their lives. The fire started in the
rear of building owned by Mrs. G. r.
Potter and occupied by the Cooper
Bros. as meat market. In a few
seconds the entire building was a
mass of flames and soon the buildings
on both sides were burning. x
Although but d few minutes ELAPSED
between the time in which the fire
started and the time that the build
ing was destroyed Mr.. Mosher. the
post master, succeeded in saving all
of the mail and all but one of the
valuable books. 1t was only by
a miracle that the residences in the
south part of town escaped. Those
who Went up from Elma and Alta
Vista on the special train did valiant
service in nsaying Smiths lumber yard.
The Alta Vista boys took their fire
engine with them and were supplied
with water by two locomotives.
Without the fire engine the lumber
yard would undoubtedly have burned
and had it done so the larger part of
the buildings south of the yards
would have burned and also the ele-
vators, stock yards and coal sheds. A
number of those who fought the fire
were overcome with the heat but no
lives were lost. A strange feature of
the fire was the number of human
vultureS who seemed to think it their
privilege to profit by another's mis-
fortune. While many were doing all
in their power to save property anoth-
er class, and a more numerous class
than one would think, seemed to have
no interest further than to see how
much they could steal without being
caught. And this work of ghouls con.
| tlnued after the flames were extin.
gulshed. Sucn deeds at such time
makes one wonder if all who have
mans face are really human. Below
we print a list of the losses and insur-
ances as nearly as can be learned at
this time. This does not include a
number of small buildings, barns, ice
houses; personal property such as
clothing, jewelry, ETC., or the secret
societies. The totalloss viii, undoubt-
edly reach 5000. 600.

Pleasantries.

Mead, the veteran editor of the Plain
Dealer, met with genuine surprise,
planned by his good wife and daughter
Lauraine, in commemoration of the
77th anniversary of his birthday.
Invitations were extended to a numter
of Mr.. Mead's gentlemen friends, who
gathered at his home about $50 and
Immediately took possession. The
evening was passed pleasantly in social
converse, and in the dicusion of a del

their regard for Mr.. Mead, he was pre-
sented with an easy chair, and a silk
umbrella. AT seasonable a hour the
guests departed wishing Mr.. Mead
