MONTANA NOTES. Jack Lucas was laid out by Jack Ramsey, who claims Spokane Falls as his home, In a sparring eon-tes- t at the rooms of the Eureka Pleasure club at Helena Friday evening.' Three thousand and five hundred men arc engaged in grading on the Northern Pacific railway between Missoula, Mon-tana, and Wallace, Idaho. They ex-pect to complete the forty miles yet to be constructed by the 1st of November. Sportsmen should remember that it is unlawful to kill deer, antelope, moun-tain sheep or rocky mountain goat be-tween January 1 and the 15th of Sep-tember of the"amo year. The killing of elk and moose is prohibited by law for six years. A half breed named "Will" who had been working for Mrs. Nut Collins, on tho Canadian & Great Falls railroad near Moulder, took an overdose of mor-phine, and in a few hours he wasgliding through the unknown regions.. No cause assigned for the rash act, unless he was tired of his job. , Joseph Lnmprcy, an old settler of the Hitter Hoot valley, died last week. Mr. Lamprey came to tho Milter Root valley witli the Hudson May company in 1842, and wintered there that winter trading with the Indians, and returned with the company next spring. In 1844 he returned to the valley and made it his home. An accident occurred at the race track at Helena Friday, which may provo fatal to Frank Whitlock, jockey for Haticock & Phelps. He' was Working out Viceroy, and while going at a pretty fast clip the horse stepped in a gopher hole. The animal fell, throw-ing the jockey violently on the ground, striking upon his head and falling be-neath the horse. A doctor was sum-moned, and upon his arrival at the track he found the jockey in torrible pain. No bones are broken, but it is feared that internal injuries were sus-tained. Whitlock is a Denver boy, 16 years old. Nt.'MEitouH Mormon families from Utah have located in the Sun Luis val-ley in Colorado, and it is said that others are likely to. follow. Tho Re-publican in speaking of this Mormon settlement says: . ( The Oentlle prejudice against the Mormons ought not to interfere with thin Immigration, for the Mormon strength In Colorado can never beoome great enough to cut much figure In politics, All Mormons settling in this state do art with the full recognition of the fact that polygamy will not be tolerated. Apart from their polygamous teachings and practices, the Mormons are valuable nddltlons In any coun-try to the agricultural population. They could take a valley like the San Luis, and, cut-ting It up Into small tracts, bring It to a very high state of cultivation. That valley could be made to sustain a lirgo population under the careful system of tillage which prevails among the Mormons. ARRIVALS AND CLOSE OF MAILS.

Lead has won a great victory in con-gress. This is another piece of tgood news for mining men. A meat famine is anticipated in Bos-ton, but so long as tho beans hold out nobody will care a great deal. 5 Mavok McKinley has renewed bis grip on his congressional Beat. His constituents him with a whoop and a hurrah. The Chicago Inter-Ocea- n says the oyster is waiting ior an opening. The man in whose face the opening is, is also waiting for the oyster. PENITENTIARY INVCHTtHATIOV. The Denver' News' has investigated tho Colorado penitentiary, the result being an expose thai is by no means creditable to the institution. Many of the convicts complain of rotten meat and other tainted food with which they have been supplied, and of cruelties equal to those of a Siberian prison have been practiced. In one case a convict was "hosed" so that ho became insane, and was sent to the asylum where he died in a few weeks. Convicts are hoisted by their wrists-- by what is called a weighing machine, and other tortures are indicted, simply upon the bare accusation of the guards, and without any opportunity for tho accused to be heard. The News says that the warden Is bold and defiant in these out-rages. He declares: "I shall lot them know who is master here. I hose them and I string them up. I did not invent these ideas, but if I could not break the men with them I would set about mak-ing something that would. This ain't any school?" Such a man is simply a brute. He should be at once dismissed, and thero should be a radical reform in Colorado's prison management. The fact is that in every state tho closest watch should bo kept upon the management of peni-tentiaries. As a rule the authorities become altogether too lax in their dut-ies in this respect, and the publio know lit tlo or nothing of what is going on within prison walls. Frequent investi-gations would remedy many evils, which, if allowed to go unnoticed, worse and worse. Kansas City is so far behind the dato that the papers there have not yet censed to roast the base ball umpire when the home club is defeated. A FOoL.girl in New York swallowed insect poison when she found she couldn't go to a picnic. Iter choice of means was good, and just about her size. FLORIDA ALIGATORS SCARCE. A Dealer Finds the Mtxlcan Supply Pay Him Much the Better. Joseph Smith has brought a cargo of alligators from Mexico to New York. Mr. Smith was asked by a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter why he went to Mex-ico to hunt alligators, and replied: "Alligators are playing out in Florida. In fact, they are becoming scarcer in all parts of the United States in conse-quence of their skins being so much in demand that manv persons have en-gaged in alligator hunting as a means of making money. The alligators have never been hunted by the Mexicans, but I soon had them at it. At first I shot theiW but a Mexican conceived the Idea of harpooning them, and carried it out so successfully that we followed that method afterward. I was down there eighteen months, and during that time I secured hides to the amount of $50,000. "It is quite exciting to take a sports-man's lamp, fasten it on your head on a dark night and quietly sneak along the river bank, and, finding one of these monsters lying at the water's edge, harpoon him. It takes a steady hand and quick eye to strike them right, and a strong arm to bold him after ho is harpooned." WASHINGTON NOTES. Mrs. Elizabeth Lund of Tacoma, after having mado two unsuccessful attempts at suicide, has been placed in an asy-lum. Edwin Moore and Frank Gatzer, two young men of Tacoma, went hunting. They quarreled over the game and Moore killed Gatzer. ' The boys were neighbors and of respectable parents. A special dispatch to the from Hamilton says: Herman Huchner, employed by the Hamilton Townsite company, was killed while blasting stumps. A charge of giant powder was touched otf, and the de-ceased with the rest of the men ran to what was thought to be a safe distance. The stump was blown to pieces, and a large piece came down and, striking the man on the back of the head, broke, his head, killing him instantly. As far as known he was not married and has no friends or relatives. Bunco sharps continue to infest the Sound packets on all lines. The latest uttempt made wns Thursday, while the City of Kingston wns on her way to Vic-toria. Among the passengers was H. C. Macaulay, connected with orie of the Victoria banks. When near Port Townsend Macaulay was approached by a stranger who him to play a friendly game of casino. The stranger dealt Himself four fours and his opponent four deuces. Then he offered to bet $50 that Macau-lay could not take the trick. The lat-ter accepted the wagor. The gambler built sixes with his fours and Macau-lay'- s deuces and won the money. Macaulay then complained to Captain Roberts, who held the steamer until the arrivul of the police who bluffed ihe sharpers into returning the money. Macaulay would not prosecute and tho "sure thing" man was released. Kansas City's brewers had a picnic the other day and rodo in wagons cov-- i ercd with bunting. Bunting is quit appropriate for the makers of buck beer. Kino Kalakaua of Hawaii Is likely to be dethroned. In that event he can pursue his poker playing without being bothered with the momentous affairs of state. An Exchange of Trade News, K. C. Star. Undertaker (to hackmnn) How's bizf ; Hackman Driving. You? Undertaker Dead. Scientists say tho world will come to un end in 5110 years. This is comfort-ing to the people who are now dead, but it rathor cramps tho builders of Salt Lake's new city hall for timo. Dr. Justin is very successful in bursting his dynamite guns. His second experiment, like bis first, resulted dis-astrously. Tho gun went off with the dynamite, and has not been seen since. THE TOADS OF UKLI.EVI'E. A telegram from Bellevuo, Idaho, re-quests God to bless the toads when not otherwise occupied, and gives a pretty good reason, too, for preferring the re-quest. A few weeks ago the couutry was parching and grasshoppers were holding high carnival in the golden grain. The siren song of tho hopper mingled with tho basso profundo sound of the swear words of the agriculturist lent a weird sort of an air to the entire Bellevuo scene. In this strait somebody happened to think of the efficacy of prayer, and eve-rything else having failed the community tried it. It is a peculiarity of people that they first try insect powder and grad-ually work up through other remedies to prayer. These people prayed, and lo, a dark cloud appeared hovering over tho ulllicted territory and a heavy storm of rain, toads and other articles camo upon the land. Mostly the storm was of toads, however. Thosn fell everywhoie until the country was well covered with them. Then the storm quit and the second soction of fulfilment began. Tho toads laid about them, and in just forty-tw- minutes, mountain time, tho lust grasshopper had faded into a mem-ory and a toad. And so the wheat nud oat crops were saved. But this is not all. So soon as their work was done the toads sickened and began dying off. Naturally they died in tho fields whero they had been busiest, and today the grain of Uellevtie is galloping toward the heavens because of tho fertility lent tho soil by tho de-composing toads. The Idaho farmer now goes gaily about his work festoon-ing his future with tidings of groat joy and swearing by the toad which killed tho grasshopper. In Bellevuo the toad has been chosen for a prominent place on the city seal, and great are the honors shown him. And, further, a religious regard for prayer nnd its power has been sown in that country. The ministers say that no medium is too mean for tho dissem-ination of good. Shall any man count it strange, therefore, that the toads of Bellevuo lead the people out into a purer, better, nobler life where the wicked cease from rustling and the guilty come out second best; whero no grasshoppers ahall eat the standing grain,' and whore tho soil is as fertile as the Imagination of the liar who first told this tale of toads? TnE fact that President Harrison at-tended church on Sunday moved tho eastern correspondents to telegraph several hundred words to their papers. What if Harrison had gone to a dog light? The New York people have con-cluded to let others build Grant's mon-ument, Bays a Denver paper. This is about as near a conclusion as tho work of building the monument has reached or will reach. NEWS OF THE COAST. Last Monday the engineer of the Cen-tral Pacilio passengor traiu, near Palis-ad- o discovered ties and rocks on the track. The train was hastily stopped, but no traces of the train-wrecke- could be found. Mrs. Charlotte Miller, recently of Seattle, but formerly of California, tried to commit suicide because Dr. Miller, from whom she was divorced 11 years ago, refused to let her see her children. IShe was saved, but threatens to take her life at the first chance. Eddie Emerson,' one of Portland's small boys, amused himself Monday by putting rocks on the street railway tracks to see the cars jump. The lust timo he tried it ho did not run away fast enough, and it was his leg which jolted the car. One wheel passed over his body and he received injuries which will probably prove fatal. Fred Smith, employed on a wharf at Victoria, B. C, took pity on a poor follow who wanted help and gave hiin the use of his cabin. The succored in-dividual at tho lirst opportunity moved everything out of the cabin, nailed down tho windows and doors, and He took everything in the world his benefactor had. E. C. Knowlton of Pasadena was en-tertaining his children by blowing a tin whistle Sunday, when, under the strong musical inspiration and the force of suc-tion, the cap, about the size of a silver quarter, was loosened and Hew down his throat. Doctors probed far iuto the stomach unsuccessfully, and were about to give up the job, when the funeral notes of a dead march led their instru-ments hnlf way down the windpipe aud Mr. Knowlton s life was saved. The Carson Tribune says: A Washoe valley man boasted of his power to charm bees. He fell asleep in a hay-tiol-and some mischiuvous comuaniohs stirred up a bumble bee's nest to mark tho power of the charm. It didn't work. The bee charmer had to run a couple of hundred yards and jump into a creek to get rid of the pestiferous in-sects. The bee is a bird that it doesn't do to monkey with. A gentleman who wrote concerning tho price of board in a country town is said to have received this telegram in reply: "Board $20 a week, including washing up the carriage and piano agent, Robinson." He wrote in answer that, though both pianos agent hod carriage needed cleaning, he was not accustomed to such charges in a board bill, and soon after learned that the original copy had run thus: "Board, $20 a week, including washing, use of carriage and piano. Ague Robin-son." 7-- The democrats of Ohio in their state convention disproved the charge that they were in sympathy with tho Mor-mons. Tbcy pledged tho party to a strict enforcemont of the test-oat- h and n registration, Dominick McCaffrey was arrested New York tho other day for prize fight-ing. For once The Times protests against an injustice being done a rough. McCaffrey isn't a lighter and cannot tight hard enough to disturb the peace. It is difficult to transform fruit to flora, still when tho announcement is mado that Senator Plumb proposes to quit tariff nnd light prohibition it is with extreme roluctance that we re-frain from saying that this Plumb is a daisy. Another crowd of patriots have been blown into kingdom como by the ex-plosion of a cannon at a sham battle, the scene this time being Athens, Pa. If cannons wore as fatal in war as in peace, there would be few survivors on tho pension rolls. George W. Peck had been grinding away in Milwaukee for years before ho was taken up and elected mayor and now tho people there want him for gov-ernor. AH these years Peck has evi-dently been hiding his political light under a bushel. Among the most sensible plauks adopted by the democrats of Idaho in framing their platform was one de-nouncing the employment of Pinkerton thugs; also the one favoring the elue-tio-of United States senators by a di-rect vote of the people. The Seashore t.lddy Letters. Baltimore American. You will notice that the giddiest let-ters from the seashore those that paint the seaside maiden in the fanciest hues, aud describe her dress or lack of it with a delail that is fairly alarming-co- me from the pens of women.
