Farm Products.
The census report on agriculture In
Montana, just issued, shows that f3,3
farms we're enumerated there on June
|, 1900, valued at s62, oe6, 900. OF this
amount, s5 per cent represents the
value of land and all improvements
other than buildings. The value of
farm implements and machinery was
S3,671 900, and livestock, S52, 16l, 1913.
The total value OF the farm property
was $117, 1858, s2a,
The total value Of farm products for
1899 was $2s, s16.957, of which SO per
cent represents animal products and
81 per cent value of crops, including
products cut or produced on farms.
The total value OF farm products for
1899 was nearly five times as great as
for 1850, but part OF this gain doubt
less Is due to more detailed enumer-
alton in 1900. The gross farm income

Iowa Man Who Attempts to Stand on
Onicers is Shot to Pieces.
One of the worst shooting affairs
ever witnessed in the vicinity of JEFF
ferson, Iowa, took place early Satur-
day, resulting from an attempt TO ar
rest Horace Shipman on peace war
rant.
For some breach of the peace the
previous evening a warrant was sworn
out for Shipman and placed in the
hands of Marshal John Swearingen
for service. DR.. c. H. Grimmel, Ship
mans family physician, went ahead of
the marshal, to attempt to have Ship
man surrender peaceably. Shipman
agreed to this, but when Swearingen
and Deputy Sheriff Fred Kendall ap-
peared at the door he warned them not
to come in, under penalty of death.
Swearingen, undaunted, started to
pull his revolver, and Shipman fired a
load of shot, striking the marshal in
the lower part OF the face and killing
him instantly. Dr. Grimmel and the
deputy beat retreat, leaving the
body of the marshal upon the porch.
Sheriff Anderson went to the scene |
of the shooting, deputizing a dozen
citizens to assist him. Hundreds of
persons gathered near Shipman's
home, and for three hours watched the
battle. Five hundred shots were
poured into the large two-story house,
Shipman replying from windows,
and door. The fire COM

CUBA IN NEED OF MONEY.
THE NEW REPUBLIC STARTS OUT WITH

Sessions VIII Attempt to
Borrow Money.

President Palma and his cabine
: have decided on plan which they
hope will relieve the economic situa
ton In the country, says a Havana dis.
patch. A message will be sent to con-
gress, probably this week, for that
body to pass upon, which sets forth
the recommendation of President Pal
ma and the secretary of agriculture
for the ameliorstion of the condition
of affairs.
This measure calls for the expendi-
ture of S3,500,000, to be distributed
among the sugar growers and cattle
raisers. Three million is to be ad-
vanced to sugar planters at the rate of
so cents an arroba or twenty-five
pounds; to be returned in two INSTALL
ments in February and March. To
cattle breeders will be paid premium
of IS for each COW imported for breed
ing purposes up to 100, 900. Further
than this, all such cattle will be adj
mitted free of duty. There also is to
be an increased tariff on many articles
imported now under small duties to |
raise the money to be distributed. An |
internal loan, secured by bonds, will
be necessary.
President Palma, in discussing the
matter, said:
1--WE are afraid the senate will not
act on the reciprocity question at this
session, and Cuba needs immediate
help. There are thousands of men idle
and the conditions are bad. We must
take some steps to save the sugar in
iustry and stimulate the cattle indus
try, which we hope to bring back to
is former prosperous condition. {
1.-The loan will be taken up in two {

President Concludes no Cannot 3rise
About Reciprocity at Present.
1t has been determined that no re-
ciprocity treaty with Cuba can he sub
mitted at the present session of con-
Rress. II was at first planned that in
the event Of the failure of the admin
istration managers in the senate 10
secure favorable action on the Cuban
sugar BILL treaty would be drafted
At once. This was on the understand
ing that Senior Quesada, tho Cuban
minister, had full powers and that
treaty could be drawn in Washington
entirely. 1t is stated now, however,
that this cannot be done and that any
draft OF treaty must 90 TO Havana
and be returned before it can be sub
mitted to the senate. This, of course,
cannot be accomplished in tho short |
'pace Of time intervening before ad-
lournment IL the estimates Of the
eaders that congress will adjourn by
July 4th are correct.
No confidence is felt in administers
Ion circles as to the ability of the
enate managers to secure the ratifi-
alton and while the president may feel
allied upon to put the matter TO a test,
will be rather with the idea Of dem
nstrating his own purpose to do
verthing possible for Cuba than in |
ny expectation that two-thirds vote
Dr. ratification could be received.
