THE RIVER PRESS. CITY AND STATE. F;o m Saturday 'e special meeting of the board of . county. commissioners is called for Thursday, March 28th, for the purpose of re organization and such other bush sees as may come before it. A private letter received from Fred H. Scott, of Clear Creek, states that after l es weeks of medical attention he has r ecovered from the effects of being caught in the February blizzard. His ma ny friends will be pleased to see him getting around again. Mrs. Moore, her daughter, Miss May, and two sons, 011iver and Claire, re- turned to Fort Benton last evening, af- ter a stay of six months in the vicinity o f \a alla Walla, Wash. They will go to Steele. and make their home with Mrs. Moore's son David, of that place. The residence of Andrew Nottingham, on the upper Shonkin,. was destroyed by tire on Wednesday last. A large part of its contents was rescued from the flames, but the building was burned to the ground. The disaster was due to defective stove-pipe art...eget - Dents. It is reported that James Crane, for- merly the Great Northern railroad agent at this point, has secured the position of traveling live stock agent for the Chi- ca go and Northwestern. He will assume the duties of that position about May lst, with headquarters at Fort Benton. George Baker, foreman for Mrs. Kelly, returned last evening from Coutts, N. W. T., and will make his headquarters at the Kelly ranch, on the Teton. For five months past Biker has been riding the line from Coutts east% ard, to keep Montana cattie from crossing the Can- adian border. Great Palls Tribune: Mike Connolly was yesterday tined $10 and costs for carrying concealed weapons. His re- volver was discharged in the Globe theatre, accidentally he claims, and the bullet fortunately entered the floor do-, ing little damage. Officer Hamilton put him under arrest however for carrying a gun, a practice that is useless and against the city ordinance, and more liable to get into trouble than out of it. The commissioners of Cascade county made a settlement with the county treasurer at their recent meeting, and 'found a deficiency of some $30,000 in the county funds. The amount was repro tented by a deposit in the Merchants' National bank. of Great Falls, which suspended in 1893, but the treasurer was held personally responsible and the county attorney instructed to bring suit against his bondsmen to recover the ap- parent shortage. From Monday's Daijv. The annual meeting of the Montana Stockgrower's Association will be held at Miles City, on April 16th. Among other building improvements going on around town. we note that A. Westfall is replacing his old residence with a new frame structure. The Bozeman Chronicle announces tbe advent of seven new babies in that town the past week. This looks like the long expected revival in one branch of American industry. Montana hens have got a great rustle on them, and local markets in conse- quence are well supplied with \fresh ranch eggs.\ In Helena dealers are pay- ing from 15 to 20 cents a dozen, while in Bozeman 10 cents is offered. The citizens of Lewistown, with a good business eye to the welfare of that community, have organized a board of trade. The movement starts off with a good membership, and with well -directed effort promises to be the means of se curing benefits which could not be reached by unorganized efforts. Judge Pomeroy, recently appointed to the eleventh judicial district, has ap- pointed Ed. L. Bishop. of Choteau, as his court stenographer. Mr. Bishop Wt s one of the applicants for the judge atop itself, but did not consider that cir- cumstance as a detriment to his accept- ance of the position of stenographer to his successful opponent. T. F. Healy was taken by surprise yes terday morning by the arrival of his brother Joe, who has been absent for some eight years past. He left Fort Benton in 1887, and since that time has traveled nearly round the earth. Most of the time has been spent in the South African gold fields, and part of it in British Guiana, and Mr. Healy's experi- ence in those regions of reputed wealth is not of a highly favorable nature. The hardships endured outweigh financial consderations, end Mr. Healy considers himself lucky in being able to return to Men tan a. from Tuesday's Daily.

The Eggleston bill changing Arbor day from the third Tuesday in April to second Tuesday in May is amend- atory to the codes, consequently it does not take effect until July 1. Arbor day this year will be April 16. A warrant was issued in Justice Crane's court yesterday for the arrest of Geo. Edwards and Clay MoBroom who did unlawfully and by force of arms obtain from Ben McMahon a certain sum of money, against his will and con- sent. The offenders were duly arrested and lodged in jail, and will probably have a hearing in the justice's court to- morrow. The whereabouts of John Hammer, the lone Missouri river fisherman, is in- dicated by the following clipping from the Helena Independent: \John Ham - flier. who lives below Billings. arrived at the capital yesterday with about 400 pounds of white fish which he had seined in the Yellowstone. Mr. Hammer was a little doubtful as to what the new fish and game law says about seining, but he thought he would risk it and sola his fish about town. The old law, he says, made it lawful to seine on the lower Yellowstone and below the falls of the Missouri.\ NEW MINING LAW. Provision of the Code Relating to Ouartz. and Placer Locations. The new code makes some very radi- cal changes in the method of making quartz and placer locations. The law of Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming and other states is followed closiely. A shaft or tunnel ten feet deep must be dug before the location notice can be recorded, this shaft must always reads solid formation. The time for recording is extended to ninety days after locating, instead of twenty days as at present. In case of relocation, if the old discovery is used, it must he sunk ten feet deeper. A provision is that the locater may, if he desires, have a United States deputy mineral surveyor make a survey of the claim before the location notice is re- corded and if the field notes of the sur- veyor are attached to the recorder no- tice they are prima facie evidence of the truth of the matters contained therein. School Finances, District N. 1. At the recent meeting of the trustees of schoo: district NQ. 1 (Fort Benton dis- trict), the following exhibit of finances was presented by the clerk: To the Hon. Board of Trustees of School District No. I, Choteau Coun- ty, Montana.

Doctors prescribe it, med ical journals recommend it, more than a million mothers are using it in place of Paregoric, Bateman Drops, so called soothing syrups and other narcotic and stupefying remedies. Castoria is the quickest thing to regulate the stomach and bowels and give healthy sleep the world has ever seen. It is pleasant to the taste and absolutely harmless. It relieves constipation, quiets pain, cures diarrtui and wind colic, allays fever- ishness, destroys worms, and prevents C onvulsions, soothes the child and gives it refreshilas and oaterel sleep. Jaaitc- ria is the children's panacea --the moth- er's friend. Castoria is put up in one size bottles only. It is not sold in bulk.

Its Present Location No Incon.enience to the Transaction of Business. Butte Inter Mountain. A few days ago the Inter Mountain contained an article concerning Mon- tana's port of entry. Ground was taken that as the beautiful little city on the river had ceased to be the objective point for home and foreign shipments, it had also ceased to be the logical port of entry for the district composed of Montana and Idaho. This statement should be modified, or rather revised, its real intention being to convey the fact that railroads had created trade and distributing centers throughout the state remote from Fort Benton, their creation, however, in no wise lessening its availability as a port of entry. From data received since the article was written it appears that over 95 per cent of dutiable goods shipped into the state enter it at Sweet Grass, a point as near Fort Benton as any other consider- able town or city south of the boundary line. A glance at the map of the state shows this, and it also shows that as far as the business of the office of collector of customs is concerned, its interests are and may be as fully subserved at Fort Benton as at any other city in Montana or Idaho.. Therefore neither economy nor convenience demands the removal of the port of entry from the time honored city. e--0— CAPT. JOE TODD. An Old Upper Mi.sonri River Navi g ator Will Enter the Pulpit. The following associated press dis- patch will be of interest to those ac quainted with Missouri river history, during the prosperous steamboating day: ST. Louis, MO., March 22.—Capt. Joe Todd, one of the most popular steam- boat men in the Mississippi valley, ar- rived home today and announced his de- termination to quit the river and go into the ministry. The captain Was in com- mand of the steamer City of Sheffield, of the St.. Louis and a.'enriessee River Pack- et Company. He left his boat at Flor- ence, refusing to take it back to St. Louis, for which city he took the train. Before leaving St. Louis on the down trip Capt. Todd became converted at one of Sam Jones' revivals, now being held in Mishitaw. As a result he decided to give up his business of steaintriating and go to preaching. Capt. Todd was one of the must open- hearted and popular men in the upper Missouri fleet, which played an import- ant part in transportation matters in the early eighties. Ile was at different times in charge of the Black Hills, Benton, Rosebud, and other well known boats which plowed the waters of the upper Missouri, and has hosts offriends scat- tered throughout Montana. There is no lose without some compensating gain, and while Capt. Todd will be missed from the ranks of steam boating, he be a valuable recruit to the pulpit. friends wish him happiness, long and success in his new field of labor. a Ward Primaries. will His life Primaries were held in the various wards of the city on Saturday evening for the purpose of selecting one alder- man for each ward and choosing four delegates and four alternates to attend the city convention. The primaries were of a non-partisan character, the general desire being to secure good mu- nicipal government, irrespective of the political complexion of its make-up. The outgoing alderman of each ward was renominated in every case, a result which will be accepted as a public en- dorsement of their stewardship. The nominations for aldermen are as follows: First ward, Dr. C. D. Crutcher; sec- ond ward, Joseph Sullivan; third ward, Thos. F. Healy. Delegates and alternates to the city convention were chosen as follows: FIRST WARD. Delegates. Alternates. Geo. Weckerlin F. D. Kingsbury W. F. Knox Jno. Sullivan Jere Sullivan W. R. Early SECOND WARD. G. W. Crime GOtis. Howell E F. Sayre N. T. Chemidtin J. W. Henderson T. Coatswosth c. M. teaming Joe. Milligan THIRD WARD. F. Morger T. Matthews G. F. Lewis I. Hunsberger Wm. Davis, Sr. W. K. Herber W. S. Stocking B. L. Powers Ward committees for the ensuing year were selected as follows: First ward—A. 0. DeLorimier, W. F. Knox, H. J. Wackerlin. Second ward—Thos. Clary, G. B. Mc- Laughlin, N. T. Chemidlin. Third ward—W. K. Herber, B. L. Powers, Geo. Ulrich. The proceedings were held under the new law governing primaries, which re- quires three judges, one of whom acted as c!erk, and voting awl done by ballot. The City Cony...Mum A non-partisan city convention was held last evening at tfe Grand Union club rooms to nominate a mayor for the ensuing year. The convention organ- ized by electing Jere Sullivan as tempo- rary chairman and Geo. W. Crane secre- tary, the temporary organization being afterwards made permanent. It is generally conceded that Mayor Chas. Rowe has made an excellent di- rector of municipal affairs, and an ac- knowledgment of this sentiment was made by the convention suspending the rules and re -nominating him for another term by acclamation. Mr. Rowe, in a few appropriate remarks, thanked his supporters for the honor tendered him, and expressed his purpose to discharge the duties of the position to the beet of his ability. The platform of the move- ment was brief and to the point: \Econ- omy and efficiency in municipal govern men t.\ The proceedings closed with the ap- pointment of Messrs. A. 0. DeLorimier, Thos. Clary and W. K. Herber as the town committee for the ensuing year. MR. ROsENCRANN INDICTED. The Authorities Could not Fetch Him in Helena But Butte Fixed Him. BUTTE, March '..10.—The United States grand jury to -day indicted L. J. 'Osten - crane, the Helena postal clerk fur opening and destroying a number of registered letters on July 13, of last year on his run on thie.caseat Northern be- tween Havre and Kalispel. Deputy United States Marshal Haley went to Helena and arrested Reseencrans and he was at once released on a $1,500 bond. The indictment will be transferred from this district to Helena and he will be tried there. Rosencrares was arrested some months ago and the- ioatter laid before a United States grand jury at Helena, but they' refused to indict him because of his high codnections and in- fluence in Helena, it is claimed, and the matter was brought before the Butte jury. 'OUNCE oh' PREVENTION \ Proclamation of the Governor lug Sheep. - -- HELENA, March 20.—The governor to- day issued a proclamation forbidding the importation into the state without inspection of sheep from Oregon, Nevada, California, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma and New Mexico for the reason that if brought here they are liable to bring with them \scab and oth- er loathsome and contagious diseases.\ Importations will be eilowed upon cer- tificate of state veterinarians that the sheep have been inspected and found free from disease. The governor says he has reason to believe that sheep from any of the places named are liable to bring scab or other diseases. The pro- clamation does not forbid the passage of goal sheep through the state, but during passage they cannot be unloaded for grazing. Arid Land COM Concern - HELENA, March 23 —Gov. Rickards this afternoon appointed the following gentlemen arid land commissioners for Montana: J. T. Armington of Cascade; James A. Talbott of Silver Bow; Ed- ward W.

GALLATIN COUNTY TRAGEDY. A Well Known Rancher Murdered i Cold Blood. BOZEMAN, March 23—A courier ar- rived in Bozeman early this morning from East Flathead, about 30 miles from Bozeman, a ith information of a shooting affair in which Dave Humphrey, a prom- inent ranch man of that section, was tbe victim of the most dastardly outrage perpetrated in tnis section for many years. Last evening Humphrey hear his dog barking and upon going to the door to speak to him, be was shot in the stomach ny some unknown person, and after six hours of awful agony died at 1 o'clock this morning. Before he died he was asked if be had any idea who shot him, and he said: \I am a dead man, and Joe Cole did it.\ Last fall Humphrey 'es stepdaughter, who married Cole, ran away with John L. Giesey, a bachelor living on the adjoining ranch, leaving three children. Mrs. Cole has since returned to her husband and Gie- sey is again on his ranch near by, and it is thought that some new phase of this old trouble was the cause of the shoot- ing. _ Awarded Highest Honors—World's Fair. •Dit; CREAM BAKINÜ POWDER MOST PERFECT MADE.

BUTTE, March 21.—Private information has been received here to the effect that W. A. Clark has purchased the large copper refinery, copper wire works and brass works of William Wallace & Sons at Ansonia, Conn. The deal was corn pleted some days ago, and it is stated by friends of Mr. Clark who are in a posi- tion to know, that the consideration was about $1,000,000. The plant is a very extensive one and its purchase leaves no doubt that Mr. Clark has finally succeeded in arranging to refine his own copper, which he has been anxious to do for some time. It is understood that he will commence ship- ping the matte from his United; Verde mines in Arizona to Ansonia at once, and that those properties will be worked to about their full capacity. The product of the Butte Reduction works will also, no doubt, be sent to Ansonia for final treatment. The United Verde mines are second in size and richness only to the Anaconda wines, and by working these properties and his pew retitiery to their utmost cc- pacity Mr. Clark probably expects that his output of copper will be large enough to attract some notice in the cop- per market. ANSONIA, March 22 -- According AO Thomas Widiece, the announcement from Salt take of W. A. Clark's pur- chase of the firm's copper refinery and brass works in this city is premature. The Montana millionaire is at present in Europe, and there is a prospect that a deal will be consummated. (meat Eats N EWsPA PER. . It. Proprietor Convicted of ‘Vrongfutly Using the Mails.

Park County (7outtutsstoners liestrained by the C.burt. LIVINGSTON, March 21.—C. S. Hefter- lin was successful today in his action brought to restrain the commissioners of Park county from erecting the pro- posed court house. There were two questions raised by the plaintiff. First, that the county is incurring a liability therefor in excess of $10,000 without first submitting the question to the qualified voters of the county for their approval, and, second, that the present indebted ness of the county, is in excess of 5 per cent of the assessed valuation of the property within the county. It was further claimed by Mr. Hefferlin that the $3,200 paid out by the county for a building site several years ago is includ- ed in the appropriation now made, and, added to the amount set aside for build- ing purposes would make the total amount expended by the commissioners for a single purpose over $13,000, 1.3,000 in excess of the constitutional limit. It was on this point that Judge Henry per- petually enjoined the commissioners from constructing the STATE EXAMINER. Dave Bogert Knew What fie Was Work- ing For HELENA, March 21.—The govern nor to night appointed David D. Bogert of Missoula to be state examiner. Bogert was the main worker for the passage of the bill before the legislature and the appoin 'Dent is a recognition of his ser- vices in that direction. 'His assistant wilt be E. T. Stetson, chief clerk of the late house. Charged With Counterfeiting. Byrrk, March 21.— The police today arrested L. W. Currier, a locksmith, and George Perkins. alias C. F.
