EC- ULTSTOIILT, ILT o t s ,X 3 7 - ^ \U -T o lic Prcducflon o f Tin Plate. W ashington , Sept. 30.—The re port of the special agent on the production of tin and terne plate for the quarter ended June 30 shows an aggregate output of 41, 866,053 pounds, of which slightly more than 49 per cent was from American block plate. Manufac tures during the fiscal year 1891 aggregated 13,640,719 pounds, of which 9,296,533 were from Ameri can plate. During the fiscal year 1893 there were 99,810,202 pound« manufactured, of which 43,599,924 were from American plate. The \report on imports and exporta of plates indicates that the entire consumption of the United States during the fiscal year 1893 was ^20,000,000 pounds, of which more than 15 per cent waa of American manufacture. Postal Receipts Ball Off. W ashington . Sept. 30. — The Oapitol has this: “ An annual in crease oi from eight to 10 per cent in the cress receipts of the post office department isWually count\ ed upon. In the month of Junt- the department showed an in crease of gross receipts a little over eight per cent; in July the increase was only a little more than three per cent; in August there was an actual falling oil of four per cent as compared with the leceiptsof August a year ago. This means simply that the gen oral business of the country has fallen oil’, as indicated by these figures, and the deficit in postal revenues is likely to be not lour or five millions for this year, as expected, but rather eight or ten.” mineral entry. The lands involv ed are located near the city Great Falls, and are said to be very val uable. T a k in g Car© o f \1 keinsolvcs. Phillipsbur Special: When the new county (Grnite) was or ganized, it became necessary to provide suitable quarters for the county officials and a court room. One of the county commissioners has a building that was just the thing and it was leased. Then it was fitted up for its new use, hard ware and the other supplies were needed and these were furnished by another commissioner. When prisoners were confined in the county jail they had to be fed, and the third commissioner furnished the groceries. , When the bills for these items were presented at the last meeting of the commissioners they were promptly allowed. The county attorney objects to their payment, as he says that a county commis sioner has no legal right to sell anjMhing to die county. He pro poses to resit their payment and ! he re ~i s_e v e y y , pru pec Ltlia t Granite county will witness' a struggle similar to that which has been go ing on in Silver Bow county for months. Public opinion is, divid ed in regard to these bills, there being those who side warmly with the county attorney, while others insist that the commissioners are aM right. There is a third faction, which contends that the officers had a right to sell the goods and lease the building, but that their charges are excessive. And so the battle wages. — — ■■ \■ Sw inging OuUvarcL. [Toledo Blado.] ®MD*. MORTGAGES and all kinds of legal toutrnmenie dravrn up. • MOTEAU, - - - - MONT. I . •• EAR R E T T . A - C .

W ashington , Oct. 2 — Coraptrol ler of the Currency Eckles has au thorized the organization of the Northern National Bank of Gre; t Falls, Montana, by Albert M. Scott and associates. Knocked Out. W ashington , Oct. 2.—Assistant Secretary Sima has affirmed the action of the commissioner o f the general land office, holding for cancellation the mineral (stone) enlnes of Pari* Gibson,and others upon placer claims entered by them in the Helena (Mont ) land district. The assistant secretary affirms the judgment of the com missioner, holding that the lands in question being a part of a school section passed to the state on its admission into the union, and therefore were act subject to “ The gates of Oastle Garden never swing outward,” said Presi dent Harrison several years ago. At that time the statement was true. The steady prosperity of the coun try under republican rule, the cer tainly of finding work here at wages more remunerative than they could hope to obtain, brought the working people from Europe in a financial stress.. But the re. uii- ing paralysis of business, has changed the flow of the tide. Wnile many -imm grants still come, a return stream has started, and for the past seven of eight weeks the number of emigrants returning to th«ir Eropean homes has been greater than the total of new arrivals. This is probably the first time in our.history that more people emigrated to Europe than came from there to the United States. ' C O C H K A N IS A V I L L A I N . His House Discovered to bo a Monster Thiove’s Den. Henry Cochran, w - •. ole $134,- 000 in gold from the United States mint, and who is posing as a weak- minded man is shown to have been a consummate scamp. For years he lived alone in a big house in Darby, a suburb. The building set back one hundred feet from Woodland avenue, and is perched on a hill. Chief o f Secret Service Drummond investigated the house. In the parlor, dining-room and other apartments where the pub lic visited were religious pictures. Bibles and hymn-books. In the cellar was found a false door, which flew back by touching a spring. This led into a tunnel that ended at the street, the mouth being concealed by glass. In the house were trunks full of clothing, thirty-two new hats, a razor for .every day in the month, and twen ty pairs of shoes. Six crucibles for melting gold were also found, as well as dies for making coun terfeit coin. He had the top of \his house fitted up like.a smelting-? room, and could drop to the cellar on a trap door and then run out the tunnel in case he was surpris ed. False panels in the walls showed secret closed and the place was iif reality a monster thieve’e den. Cochran was a de vout Presbyterian, and shielded his wickedness under a religious cloak. Generous ' ; r j * iai. Senator Caaaeron, of Pennsyl vania, in a recent speech on silver said: “ I will not vote to ruin Colorado or Nevada. I will vote to help them, and in return will ask their help to assist the other weak in terests that are struggling through out the union for existence against heavy odds. I will vote in such a way as to lighten the many diffi culties of the southern states and aid them to keep abreast of the national movement. I will giyo support to every portion of our union, rem He or tie ir, but I wi 1 not knowingly deny assistance to any, least of-all to a weak or strug gling slate. Pennsylvania sent me here to be generous as well as practical, and you may be sure she will stand by me.” X?. \ W \ ^TTZEXFXaTH“, I L A W Y B t e , . H A .
