Today William Henry Theodore Dur- rant Took the Fatal Drop. S an F rancisco , Nov. 10.—Theodore Durr ant, condemned murderer of Blanche Lamont and. the presumable slayer of Minnie Williams, in this city in April, 1895, was brought over from San Quentin prison today and upon being taken before Judge Bahers shortly before noon, was sentenced to be hanged on Friday morn ing. Durrant’s attorney again entered tech nical objections to the proceedings, but the judge overruled them and pronoun ced’ judgment slowly and impressiyely, ordering that the young defendant be hanged on Friday, Nov. 12, between tho hours of sunrise and noon. As the words “ Friday, Nov. 12,” loft the judge’s lips, a mnrmvr of horror rang through the room. Two short days to prepare for death after two years of false hope and encouragement! Women hid their faces, while men craned their necks to see how Durrant would take it. He expected it ; he never flinched. When the gaping mob was disposed of Durrant was handcuffed-and taken back to San Quentin and tbe condemned cell. L ater : A stay of proceedings has been granted and now there is no telling wheth er Durrant will ever hang. D u r r a n t W i l l lla n g . W ashington , November S.—Tho United Slates supreme court today affirmed the decision of tho circuit court for the Cali fornia circuit, refusing a writ of habeas corpus to William Henry Theodore Dur rant, under sentonco of doath for tho murder of Miss Blanche Lamont, in San Francisco, in April, 1895. Rented and Sold State Lands. CUolenn Herald.] Harry D. Moore, state land agent, re turned this morning from Lewistown, where on Monday he rented and sold a lot of state lands that were recently ap praised. Mr.. Moore is satisfied as to tho results, of- the : deal?and. brought back a nice sum of money for”the school fundof. the. state. Thé county - seat'of Fergus county was the scene of one of the largest and most representative gatherings of stockmen 6ver witnessed the day” of the sale. Bidding was generally pretty lively, the bidders recognizing that it was a splendid opportunity to acquire some very desirable land. Mr. Moore rented in all about 70,000 acres at the rate of §60 a.section, realiz ing about §7,000. He sold outright 300 acres at §11.50 per acre. Providence on the Side of” Protection. fDozomaa Courier.] / A bountiful wheat’yield in the United States this year and the good prices re ceived for it haB done more to set the wheels of industry going than all that gold bug legislation could accomplish in a century. The foundation stone o f pros perity must rest upon the farm, and when our farmers aro prosperous the rest of the population will Bhure in it. Providence and not tho republican party is what has brought prosperity to tho farmers this year.—Red. Lodge Picket. Two old-time farmers of Gallatin coun ty (both old-line democrats) were discuss ing that same subject in Bozeman. One of them took just about the same ground as the Picket, advancing the same line of argument ; only giving it additional em phasis by crediting the greater portion ofjour present prosperity to the prevailing famine in India. After waiting patiently for his neighbor to clinch his conclusions, the other propounded the following per plexing intei rogatory : “ How is it, my friend, that under democratio administra tions the famine^alwaya happens to be in the United State« ?” ’ Proceeding, the second speaker added : “ Now, I have been voting the democratio ticket ever since I was old enough to cast a ballot, but ! have cast my last vote for the candidate of that party. I don't pretend to know mnoh about the tariff question, nor the necessity o f protecting the manufacturing industry of the country, but I have made up my mind to hereafter cast my lot with the political pax ty that has always been in partnership with national prosperity.” Another farmer, who had overheard the conversation from a convenient distance, drew near, and, addressing the first speak er, propounded the following pertinent question : “Say, neighbor, how is it about the Wonderful advance in the price of wool ? D o the starving people of India eat wool ?” \Without attempting to answer, No, I suddenly ascertained that it was time for him to do a little shopping, preparatory to going homo where he could sit down and read at his leisure such profound argu ments on economic questions and indus trial prosperity as are always to be found in the free silver and free trade papers of Montana. Now, no one disputes the Picket’s gen eral proposition, that “The foundation stone of prosperity must rest upon the farm, and when our farmers are prosper ous the rest of the population will share in it.” -And yet, if the “ rest of the popu lation” have nothing to give in return for the farmers’ products, it is hardly appar ent where the general prosperity can come in. In order for the farmer to bo reason ably prosperous he must have n remuner ative market for his surplus products, and tho best market in the world is u home market. For then there is a recir procity of interests and a community of of well being. As Lincoln tersely ex pressed i*, “ for.then you have both the manufactured article and tho money at home.” ’ If Providence is toT>e credited with our returned' national prosperity, it must be because it is a silent partner of republican protection—in league with patriotic im pulses, political integrity, superior busi ness sagacity and wise statesmanship—for there is not an instance on record where this country has experienced any degree of prosnerity while under democratic management, and it is hardly probable that there ever will be. Each recurring day appears to give additional emphasis to tho fact that Providouco helps those who help themselves. The following from a lato exchange ex plains tho entire present situation in a nut shell : Protection means increased manufac tures,at home. . Increased manufactures means in creased employment. . Increased employment means increased earnings. Increased earnings. means increased consumption. Increased consumption means increased demand for articles consumed. Increased demand for articles consumed means increased prices. Do you understand how it is that all articles which the farmer has to sell have advanced, in price ? » t \ Î î < '<•»>-» *•!»-’ -i - .. — —1 » • ♦ i -.rrj.r'v l . .

' W ashington , D, C., Nov. 8 ,1S97. J ust; before the onset of tho recent storm, wh§se widespread ravages through out the whole Atlantic coast region have been - fully recounted in the Associated Press'dispatches, I made a trip down the Potomac to Glymont, on the last boat‘of the excursion season. The day w a b fair almost to perfection and never did scenery appear more beautiful than that unfolded to our eyes as the steamer swept onward between those historic wooded Bhores. The banks of the Potomac for many miles below.\Washington- consist of low-browed hills which sweep upward in successive natiffal terrnces until they reach a height of two or three hundred feet and thence stretch along the horizon iu a rounded silhouette of unvarying curves, each new bend, bringing to viow a picture which is in almost every 6ense a replica of that just pa6scd. There is not mucii of ma jesty In the scene, but it is rarely beauti ful in the serene and quiot peaco which reigns over the landscape, aud, so far as the face of nature goes, suggesting noth- ingoil.its thrilling story of savage ambush, bristling war fleets, of massed and march ing hosts aud blood-sHced fields. Nothing can surpass tho beauty of the autumn forest which, aflame with color, like an endless garland, docks tho hill slopes m brilliant contrasting reds, pur ples, yellows aud greens, such as aro never seeii'in our monotonous evergreen forests. The’voyage lakes in tho arsenal grounds where tho Lincoln conspirators wero hung, old Alexandria wiib its stirring traditions of the revolution aud of tho civil war, tho decaying ramparts of old Fort Foote, tho newer masonic walls of Fort Washington, tlie 'recently broken ground for tho pro posed FortSlioridaD, thostntoly baronial- like home of Washington at Mount Yer- nori, aud Marshall Hall, the one time resi dence of the man who, by his wise inter pretation of the constitution, did more to save to tho world the work of the colonial patriots than any man who over lived. These river trips aro popular hero all through tho summer and the boats carry thousands out of the stifling air of the city to the cool resorts of Biver View and Marshall Hall, or to the salt water buth- jpg^tbLOolpnial * B each and,.Old Point Comfort.’. T ” Although it. is said that Mrs. McKinley has bravely determined to undertake all of the trying duties which devolve upon tho hostess of tho white house, those who know her best fear that she will be unable to sustain the ordeal. It is hard to imag ine a more striking contrast than that which lies between the present and the last “first lady of the land.” Mrs. Cleve land was not alone endowed with a most remarkable and impressive beauty, but was possessed of a fund of physical strength and nervous vigor such ns, dur ing her regime, surrounded with an at mosphere of unfailing light and cheer, tho executive mansion and enabled her to become an untiring entertainer. Mrs. McKinley, though she has responded so far in an unexpected manner to tbe de mands made upon her, has tho halting stop, thin and worn expression nnd tho paleness which belong to the confirmed invnlid, and when the days of the long, crushing receptions come, it would seem little short of a miriclo if she does not fail in the terrible task. However, the president’s wife is said to have a patient, amiable and sweet temperament, and all will wish her woll in her new plnco and hope that her - brave resolution to fill all of its exacting duties may be happily iealized. I met Dr. Mary Walker the other night at the Nansen rccoption, and if tbe effect of her dream of dress reform wero to transmute the femnle contingent of the Saxon race into Buch utter hideousness ns that which marks her uusexod fnco and form, I should set my faco unalterably against much so called “ progress.\ The learned doctor wears her hair short, at tires herslf throughout in male dress, and makeB a spectacle calculated to call tears to the eyes of the gods. Her facial linea ments are a caricature upon the sex she travesties—hollow eyes, high cheek bones, shadow cavernous recesses below, aud a head that would ornament a prize ring, mark her distinguishing point, while her claw-hammer coat hangs from the scraw ny shoulders with shocking nngraceful- nesa. - What she seeks to do no one seems to have a dear conception of, but in her twenty-five years' crusade she has made almost no converts to her radical doc trines, is qnito truo. I find the following announcement in a late issue of the Wasaington Star : “Mr. A. W. Lyman has retired from tho position of chief Washington correspond ent of tho New York World and has accepted an important oditorial position on tho Now York Sun. Mr. Lyman was some years ago a Washington correspond ent of iho Sun. William Shaw Nownn, who has long been a staff correspondent of tho World, succeeds Mr. Lyman as Washington correspondent.” Mr. Lyman looks wretched, so thin and pale is ho that he actually presents a ghastly appearanco. His condition is tho effect of malaria, by which he was pros trated during tho summer. Tho following postoffice appointments hove been announced : Chns, F. Wilson, atBlosaburg; Mrs. Lola Smith, at Junc tion ; Jay K. Wilson, at Eknlaka,' .and Wm. G. Smith, at Dnrby. Tho/postmns- ter general is about to establish a post- office at Buckeye, Jefferson county. Jas. M. Martin, of Choteau, has boon granted a pension of §8 por' month from Juno 18, 1895. A. H.

L. Smith,- of Sand Couleo. That the ground is fertile is amply at tested by tho fine crops to be seen on every hand ; but perhaps tho most notice able feature of tho place is the immenso barn whero are stabled nightly about 20 fine cows, and whero their provender for the winter is stored. At tho -side of the house, peering out from under a high ledge of rocks, are seen a door and windows, apparently lot into solid rock; on opening tho door you en ter a good sized room, lighted entirely from the front, with brick walls, plastered, and n cement floor. Here aro kept all tho milk, cream and butter—and such a place for milk was Dever soon before, at lenst Dot by the writer. There aro long, narrow spaces at the sides enclosed by a wall about two foot iu height, where the jars and caus of milk are kept in cold running water 'all the timo. The water is supplied by a never- failing spring, hundreds of feet beyond, which was discovered years ago by coal miners, who left a royal reservoir for tho overflow, a tunnel about 700 feet long, eight feet wide and eight or nine feet high, a continuation of the milk honse just de- cribed. « The back wall of tbe room is formed like the sides from briok, cemented, and rising several feet above the usual depth of water in the tunnel, which can be reg ulated by means of a fauoet placed in the wall about six inches from the floor. Above the back wall is an open space of abont three feet, from whence iaanee a cold current of air, making the atmos phere o f the milk house very much like that o f a refrigerator.
