MoNTANA'S BLIZZARD.
1t Caused a Loss of S5,OOO.OOO TO Cat-
tie and Sheen Owners.

Great Falls, Mont, May 2O.-The
heaviest cattle and sheep loss in the
history of Montana, the damage of
which will be $5,OOO,OOO, has beel-
caused by the terrible snow storm
which has been raging for the past
three days. In some sections fully 30
per cent. of the sheep on the ranges
have perished. Three herders, at
least, wandered away in the binding
storm and have been frozen to
death. An aged herder employed at
Portage was lost Sunday. Two more
in the Shelby Junction country, en-
ployed by the Floweree Cattle Co.,
are missing and there is no hope that
they can be found alive.
Herders have abandoned their
focks on every hand and fled for
safety to the settlements and
ranches. Nothing like the fury of
this storm has ever before been wit
messed in northern Montana. Of a
consignment of 600 cattle bound
from Havre all but five We're found
frozen stiff. Losses are reported on
every hand and this district will feel
the effects of the losses for years.

Manila, May 1s.-Capt. Clough
Overton, of the Fifteenth cavalry,
and Private Harry Noyes, who were
killed May Is at Sucatlan, Mindanao,
met their deaths at the hands of in
surgent prisoners whom they were
guarding. Their companion in this
duty, Private Hartlow, was wounded
at the same time. Capt. Overton's
troops had been scouting in the de-
partment of Misamis, on the trail of
the insurgent leader, Flores. The
cavalrymen captured so of Flores fol-
lowers and confined them in a house
at 'Sucatlan. Capt. Overton and
three men remained to guard the
prisoners while Lieut.. Cameron con-
tinued in pursuit of Flores.
The prisoners suddenly broke out
of the house where they were con-
fined, secured their bolos and rushed
the four Americans on guard. Over
ton was slashed with bolo and bled
to death. After escaping the insurg-
ents gathered and renewed their at
tacks on the Americans. The caval-
rymen who was not wounded repuls-
ed the enemy and defended his dead
and wounded companions until the
return of Lieut.. Cameron. Capt

only three men to guard so and for
having neglected to destroy the in.
surgents' bolos.

trance into the hall was an ovation.
Cheer after cheer rang through the
building as he came down the aisle.

group of friends as ne reached the
rostrum, and for time was unable
to reach his chair. No sooner was he
seated than a young woman, Miss

knowledge the honor with repeated
bows.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 8, %

VASd1NdION, u. w., NOV. 0, 10.
The time for convening of the
extra session of Congress is at hand;
and it looks as if the only subject
to be considered is the question of
Cuban reciprocity, which, by the
way is the petadministration scheme.
Not only that, but the Republican
party seems to be irrevocably bound
to it. The justice or expendiency
of it many time-honored republicans
question, but these are generally al
ligned with what's now -a-days term
ed the trust faction of the party.
These men look upon the passage
of the Roosevelt reciprocity meas
ure as an invasion of their vested
rights. Mr.. Roosevelt, on the other
hand, believes that tbs the bounden
duty of this government to legiti-
mately protect it's ward, and in every
respect perform the duties of true
guardians a relationship which, in
passing, is of our own creating.
At the present the passage of this
measure seems reasonably assured
but the democrats will use it as a
means of getting before the country
their veiws on the tariff question.
Many speeches will be delivered
on both sides. The democrats will,
however, be given full opportunity
to speak their minds, while the re-
publicans will content themselves
with few strong speeches which
will go to the very marrow of the
subject.
Representative Richardson of
Tennessee will not be the Democratic
floor leader this year, or more prop
erly speaking, during this Congress.
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
has been selected to fill this posi-
tion. This is the highest honor a
minority in Congress can bestow
on member. He will have it in
his power to shape issues for his
party to large extent, and his sue
cess in this respect depends very
much on his tact, foresight and nat
ural leadership. There are many

Faribault county. In 1874 thew
moved to Dundas, Rice county, and
in 1881 they came to Marshall
county locating in town of Warren

his share of pioneering and has suf-
fered all the hardships incident to
pioneer life. When he came to
southern Minnesota there we're no
railroads. and he has had to haul
wheat 80 miles to the mill in order
to have it ground into flour. Since
coming to this county deceased has
by industry and hard work i'm
proved and developed a fine farm,
where he would have spent many
pleasant days had not his life been
cut short by the dreaded fever.
