Tile NEW AGENCY.

(,,..i. l •l;etl , p)cia l Agent, and Maj. Fields

IAOlin~y For a Location.

3m1.sr Edwin C. Fields, U. S. Indian

a;e, t t Fort Belknap, who was in the

.itv lais t wek. informed us that General

Hlenry ,le;atl, a special agent of the gov-,rnoiwn. arrived at his agency last Mon-

y ;: ,week ago. Gen. Heath and Major

i'iel(ls. a:ccompanied by Lieut. J. F.

fJustor, spent six days last week travel-

i(g ,ver the reduced reservation, which

wil ir the future home of the Gros\'•tn.,~t and Assinniboine Indians, for

tie purpose of locating their new agency.'The ,rentlemen traveled over a large por-

0,•o: of the new reservation and found,~,eral good locations, but the place for a

aw agency has not yet been decided up

on. (;en. Heath, who is about 60 years,1o1., is a Virginian and a West Point grad-

uaate. who followed the fortunes of the

south with distinguished gallantry, and

won for himself a name in history. Heopened the battle of Gettysburg with his

division and took a prominent part in

that memorable battle. Gen. Heath yes-terday paid Fort Assinniboine a visit for

the purpose of meeting some warm per-sonal friends among the officers stationed,;t the post. We are glad to know that

the general contemplates spending a dayat Fort Benton before he returns east.

Sweet Grass Placers.

I)uring the past week several partiesfrom the Sweet Grass Hills have visited

Benton, all of whom brought gold dust in

different quantities. The latest arrival is

Mr. J. C. Wilson, a miner, who reached

the city last evening, and who, besidesbringing in several ounces of the preciousmetal, had the misfortune to lose anounce by an accident caused by thebreaking of the bottle which contained it.During a conversation with the proprie-

tor of one of the hotels, Mr. Wilson in-

formed him that he was hauling dirt tothe nearest water, about one and a halfmiles, which yielded $10 per load andt hat another man called Dutch Chris,working alone, was clearing $18 per day.In recently cleaning a bedrock flume, heinformed the proprietor that $3,000 had

been realized. lMr. Wilson believes as do

many other old miners-that there arelots of gold in the Sweet Grass Hillswhich is being brought to the surface by

t•hose working there.AS-

G(eographical Information Wanted.

On the 3d of July last a petition was re-ceived from the Sweet Grass hills for a

post office, and forwarded to the 2d as-

sistant postmaster general. On July 9thi L was referred to the 1st assistant post-master general for the reason that the pe-t ition did not state what state or territorythe Sweet Grass hills were in. That of-ticer in turn referred it to Delegate Toole,requesting him to locate the place in Mon-tana. Delegate Toole referred it to JudgeTattan and requested him to make thepetition specific, stating where the Sweeti rass hills were located, who the appli-

cant for postmaster was and the nature ofthe service. If any one coming in fromt lie Sweet Grass hills will call at or writeto this office the matter can be satisfacto-rily arranged.

Mysterious Disappearance.

.Joe Hirshberg, who came in from Ben-ton on Monday, reports the mysteriousdisappearance of J. V. Goss, a sheep herd-er, employed by Hobbins & Hefferman, onlast Sunday night. Goss brought hisherd to Richter & Hunt's old place on theTeton in the evening, ate his supper and

went out, and has not been seen or heard

,f up to date. As the missing man wasntellhgent, sober and industrious, and

:as accumulated $2,500 besides fivea:onths' wages due from his employers,i is sudden disappearance and continuedabsence are inexplicable except on thetheory that he has either committed sui-c•de or met with an accident. Hirshberg

states that Goss was rather fine looking,iut had the appearance of a man in poorhealth or suffering from some chroniccomplaint. Possibly, in a fit of despond-,ency he may have dro rwned himself in the

Teton, or in wandering about may havefallen over the bank or in to some coulee.

We learn through official sources that othe contract for a tri-weekly mail servicebetween Lewistown and Fort Benton has Ibeen awarded to E. B. Young, of San I

Francisco. Service will begin on August16th. The delay of a month was probablydue to the interference of "strikers" foranother line. A mail sack for the newline has been at this office for some time.-Fergus County Argus.

A SOUND COLORED MAN.

He Wears a Cleveland Badge and Gives HisReasons for It.

Among the latest ornaments worn bymany of our citizens as showing theirpolitical status are the Cleveland andHarrison badges. Observing this morn-

ing one of the former resting ccnspicu-ously upon the bosom of Mr. Gibsont Finn,a colored man of unimpeachable charac-ter residing in this city, he was imme-diately approached by a RIVER PRESS re-porter, who said:

"Good morning, Mr. Finn; like manyother good democrats, I see you are outthis morning with a Cleveland badge."

"Yes, sir," he replied; "I wear it therebecause I don't care who sees it, andwhile there are many who are for onething in reality and another for the sakeof policy, I am for that flower that bloomsalone in the fullness of light and folds noleaves unopened to our view."

"As the time for the election of countyofficers is fast approaching, I suppose thebadge you wear is an indication of theway you will vote?"

"I have always voted the republicanticket," answered Mr. Finn; "it is not onlymy choice, but that of my race, yet Idon't propose to move at the crack of anyparty's whip. The time has come in thewest when we have a large number ofgood men from which 'o select our countyofficers. We can get good men out of thedemocratic party, and when the right manis put up I will certainly vote for him,"

"What is your idea of a good county of-ficial?" asked the reporter.

"One, who in the first place is compe-tent to fill the office to which he is elect-ed; one who is not prejudiced, and whorecognizes the rights of and the duty toprotect every American citizen regardlessof race, color or previous condition of ser-vitude. When a man of this kind runsfor office, he will certainly poll my vote,"replied Mr. Finn.

The Faber pusher acknowledged theforce of the argument and donned aCleveland badge the next minute.

Eating Watermelons.

A watermelon, even though a sixty-pounder is not intended to be eaten inpublic, nor is one watermelon, no matterwhat its weight be, more than enough forone healthy person. This fact is well-known to every country school boy. Theart of eating a watermelon and keepingcool are as simple as in the days of longago. The rind should be cut with a shortbladed knife, so that when the melon isdivided the heart of it shall rest in one ofthe halves in one luscious juicy lump.The knife should then be carefully wipedand put in the pocket. Then the coatshould be taken off and the sleeves rolledup. Plunge the right hand under one endof the heart and the left hand under theother; lift the dripping mass to mouth,and fall to. The juice will trickle downyour arms and saturate your face, butwhat of it? There is plenty and to spare,though the feast is the rarest to be foundon earth.-Atlanta Constitution.

The Grain Acreage.

Recently the Winnipeg grain exchangesent out circulars to wheat.buyers throughthe province, asking their estimate of theincreased acreage under crop this seasonover last, in wheat, barley and oats. Inanswer to these circulars returns are com -ing in promptly, and when all are in fropnthe different districts the acreages givenby each will be calculated so as to give theaverage result for the whole province.Already from tAe returns received, it isapparent that in• some districts there hasbeea*large increase in barley, and butlittle in wheat. This state of affairs isjust revered-ii other districts, there be-

ing not more barley than last year, butan increase of 15 to 20 per cent. in wheatarea. The exchange has adopted the mbstpractical means within their reach to getat the grain acreage of the province forthis year.-Morning (Winn.) Call.

The Fruits of Advertising.

A few days ago John Lee lost a valua-ble cuff button, and like a sensible man,he immediately advertised its loss in theRIVER PRESS and offered a reward to thefinder. Yesterday morning the buttonwas found by a young lady and left atthis office. She did not claim the rewardindividually, but informed a reporterthat whatever Mr. Lee saw fit to givewould go with other funids toward pro-curing the new window for the Episcopalchurch. Mr. Lee, with many thanks, re-ceived the button, and the reporter re-ceived a very liberal sum from the gen-tleman which he turned over to the find-er, who will apply it to the purposenamed.

Wool Notes.

Just as we go to press we learn that Dr.Willard's clip of 73 sacks was sold latethis afternoon to Mr. F. H. Putman for17% cents.

We also learn that MIr Jacob Severancehas concluded to consign his wool, andwill ship one portion to the house ofFenno Bros., and Childs, and the other toLuce & Manning, of Boston.

Death of General Sheridan.

Special to the River Press.

HELENA, August 7.-General Sheridandied at 10:20 p. m., the 5th inst.

Although for several days past but lit-tle hope was entertained that GeneralSheridan would recover from the illnesswhich has so long prostrated him, yet thenews of his death will be received withdeep sorrow and poignant grief through-out the country. Philip Henry Sheridanwas born in 1831. He received a militaryeducation, being a graduate of West Point.Early in the late war he was appointed tothe command of a cavalry division. Hisvictories at Winchester, Cedar Creek andFive Forks made his name famous as afighter and successful general wherevert-he English language is spoken. He wasmade lieutenant general of the UnitedStates army in 1869 and upon the retire-ment of General Sherman, he was pro-moted to the chief command of the armyin 1883. The duties of his high officehave been discharged with that fidelityto his trust and with that efficiencywhich have distinguished him in everyofficial position he has occupied. In hisdeath the country loses one of the firstmilitary officers of the world,-a braveand honest man.

Another great name is added to the listof those who have passed to the unknownbeyond. Another name takes its place be-side those carved high upon the scroll offame. Another, the best years of whoselife were unselfishly devoted to hiscountry ar.d to his country's cause, andwhose deeds are embalmed in the memoryof the American people lies silent in death.Fighting Phil Sheridan is no more.Requiescat in pace.

Mc-Intire, Choteau's county attorney, theparty proceeded to Lethbridge, whereHoppe was examined with the resultabove stated.

THE KEY NOTE SOUNDED.

Voorhees, of Indiana, Opens the DemocraticCampaign in a Ringing Speech.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., August 4.-Sena-tor Voorhees sounded the key note andopened the Indiana campaign before alarge and enthusiastic audience here to-night, in a very strong speech wherein hediscussed finances, tariff, labor, surplusand the general political issues of the dayfor some two hours. The salient points ofhis speech are submitted in the subjoinedsynopsis:

MR. VOORHEES SAID

every movement in the machinery of thegovernment set in motion by republicanleaders and managers, has been to swelland bloat the gains of the rich and increase the burdens of the poor. The re-publican conspiracy to fasten the fangs ofthe money power on the struggling bodyof American labor took its first great stepwhen the authorizing legal tender cur-rency in 1862, the greenback, the immor-tal and glorious greenback, was discrim-inated against and made non-receivablefor duties on imports and for interest onthe bonded debt.

NO FINANCIAL MEASURE Iwas ever more oppressive and destructiveof the rights of labor in its results thanthis. The senator declared this act en-abled the bullionists of Wall street torealize a profit in "naked speculation"with the bonds and currency of the na-tion of nearly one hundred millions ofdollars. I do not believe any people onthe globe, the senator said, would havesubmitted, unless restrained by force tothe monstrous act of congress of March,1869. By one dishonest stroke of a dis-honest pen, guided and held by dishonestleaders of the great party, the debt whichlabor has to pay was swollen 25 per cent.The speaker then quoted a letter writtenby John Sherman in 1860, wherein Sher-man said: "I think the bondholder vio-lates his promises when he refuses to takethe same kind of money that he paid forhis bond." Why, asked the speaker,should not the greenback come to thefront at this time when the interests ofthe laboring classes are under considera-tion? Persistently stigmatized and cari-catured as

THE RAG BABY FOR YEARS,

denounced as dishonest money, a fraudupon the business and the commercialworld, yet it stands to-day with its pur-chasing power as great as the greatest.The republican candidate for presidentsuggested in 1878 that an idiot asylumshould be erected for believers in green-backs. I believed in greenbacks then, anddo now and I take my place alongside ofyou under Gen. Harrison's intolerant, bru-tal criticism and denunciation. He can-vassed the state in 1878 as a candidate ofhis party for the senate as I did as thecandidate of mine and the people of In-diana decided by more than 3,000 majori-ty that he was

NEARER A FINANCIAL IDIOT

than I was and that I should go back toWashington. No relief, the speaker de-clared, was offered to labor by a resort tothe excise system. On the contrary, thissystem was made the pretext for still fur-ther encroachment on the part of mon-opoly and against the rights of those whotoil. The two acts of congress, of 1862 and1864, by which protective duties weremade to ascend to a pike's peak altitudewere demanded on the express groundthat the manufacturer should be com-pensated for the amount of his internaltax. On this point, the speaker quotedextensively from Senators Morrill, Allisonand others. For nineteen years the re-publican partyhas caused the people topay the manufacturer at least

AN HUNDRED MILLION A YEAR

in consideration of a tax paid by the man-ufacturer to the government. The moneykings have thus far resisted every effortto reduce mountainous tariff duties, bywhich they have drained the earnings ofthe people. Senator Voohees declaredthe labor interests of the country need incriculation every dollar that can be sparedfr~g the expenses of the government, andyet there

IS PILED UP AS USELESS,

surplus enough of the people's money topay down in cash more than $200 forevery day since the birth of Christ. Touch-ing upon the republican internal revenueplank. Senator Voorhees said: In thisChristian land and age men sometimespoken of as Christian statesmen havenothing better than free whisky and to-bacco to offer the people in response totheir cry for relief. The slave holders ofthe south once belonged to a class whichcomposed the money power. They oncewere the monopolists of cheap underpaidlabor. The most bitter and implacablesupporters of slavery, thirty years agowere in fact, the most successfnl andefficient abolitionists of the nineteenth

century.THEY STRUCK TOO FAR

and their blows came back to destroythem, and so it will be with the purseproud, insolent and misled tax-eaters ofthe present day. By making no conces-sions to the overtaxed people, by refu;iEaga single dollar of reductions of the noees- 1

sities of life, but on the contrary insistingthat whisky and tobacco should be free,the manufacturers have done more topromote the ideas of free trade in thiscountry in the last few months than theeloquent and gifted tongues and pens ofFrank Hurd, Henry Watterson and DavidA. Wells. The speaker touched upon thepart Gen. Harrison took in suppressingthe riots in 1877, and closed by sayingthat, as attorney for Blaine, Harrisoncommitted a crime against the state bydeclaring, in the dismissal of the Blainesuit against the Indianapolis Sentinel,that justice could not be obtained in thestate. (Cheers.)

THE GUILFORD MILLER CASE

A Decision Effecting Titles to 1,500,000Acres of Land.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-The secretaryof the interior to-day rendered a decision

in the somewhat celebrated case of the

Northern Pacific Railroad company against

Guilford Miller. The secretary holds:

briefly that when the map of the main line

was filed and accepted in 1870 the general

route was fixed, and statutory withdrawal

under section six of the granting act be-

came operative. Statutory withdrawal

having once been put in operation could

not again be exercised, its authority beingexhausted. The central route being oncefixed could not be amended or changed ex-

cept by legislative authority. As no such

authority was given, the attempt to changethe general route by the map of 1872 was,

WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF LAW.

As Miller's land was not within the limitsof statutory withdrawal under the law of1870, it remained public lands subject tosettlement, notwithstanding the filing ofthe map of 1872 and the attempted with-drawal of the land by the commissioner ofthe general land office. The secretaryholds that section 6 of the granting act tothe company absolutely prohibits thewithdrawal by the executive of lands onthe line of the road from the operation ofthe homestead and pre-emption laws, andthat in attempting to niake the withdrawalof lands for indemnity purpose the com-missioner did that which was prohibited.The railroad company selected Miller'sland as indemnity for lands lost withinthe Yakima Indian reservation, but thesecretary says inasmuch as

THE SUPREME COURT

said in the Butts case that a fee simpletitle to lands within Indian reservationspassed by grant to the company subject tothe right of occupancy by the Indians,the company is not entitled to indemnityfor lands within said reservation andwhich have passed to it by its grant. Theeffect of this decision is far reaching andwill affect about 800 cases now pending inthe general land office, and probablyclaims of many settlers which have notreached them, The denial of the right of

the company to indemnity for lands with -

in the Yakima Indian reservation iLsaid to be equally applicable to otherIndian reservations along the line of theroad, and will have the effect of reducingthe indemnity claims of the company verylargely, probably to the extent of a millionand a half of acres. About two hundredcases now in the central land office will beaffected by this decision.

Appeals in Land Cases.

WASHINGTON, August. 4-By order ofthe secretary of the interior, hereafter ap-peals from the decisions of the commis-sioner-general of the land office under thetimber culture, desert land, homestead,and pre-eniption and mineral land laws,will be considered and decided by FirstAssistant Secretary Muldrow. Exception-al cases will be decided by the secretary.
