LOCAL NEWS. From the Daily Herald of January '•* i'. I*. Sterling. The proceedings of the Supreme Court this morning show that F . P. Sterling, of Helena, has been admitted to practice in all the courts of Montana. This is a com pliment to a comparatively young lawyer, and especially is the honorable position more noticeable and deserving when it is known that when Mr. Sterling came to Helena, in 1874, he worked at his trade and shoved a jack-plane for a living. During Mr. Sterling's residence in Helena he has l>een an active Republican, and in 1876 was appointed Receiver ot the Helena U. S. Land < iffiee, and in "77 w as re-ap pointed by President tirant; a position which he filled with great credit to him self for more than the usual term allotted to Federal officials. Afterwards he held the position, by appointment, of Public Administrator, an office he held until he was elected by the people to the position of Probate Judge in 1882, an office which he holds to-day. The crowning honor is that which the Supreme Court confers this morning and which is a just tribute to the merits and qualifications of an efficient, energetic and popular servant ot the people. Weather Signals. The United States Military Signal Office is located at the military headquarters, lower Main street, rooms Nos. 14 and 15, which are fitted up with all the appliances used in the signal service. A record of the weather is received twice a day from all the military posts in Montana. In ex amining the wind gauge at the Helena office yesterday (a beautiful and wonderful mechanism, worked by the power bf the wind upon revolving cups on top of the building and registered by electric wires ; the fact was disclosed by the accommo dating operator that there was less wind at Helena than at any other station at which he had ever been located. When it is known that Mr. Morrison, the observer, has l>een stationed at Helena previous to and during the solstice, a time of year when the winds are at their greatest strength, the situation is favorable to Helena over other places east, where the wind has been higher and the temperature much lower. Especially are these facts noticeable just now, when blizzards, snow storms and gales prevail in the Atlantic States from Maine to South Carolina, when at the same time the people of the Rocky Mountains are enjoying bright suns, calm weather and beautiful days and nights. Constitutional Convention Hall. The hall for the meeting of the Consti tutional Convention is in the second story of the new building erected by W. S. Paynter, on Main street, at the foot ot Broadway, with' entrance adjoining the drug store of Paynter & Comstock. The hall has been nicely carpeted and furnished throughout in an elegant and comfortable manner by Secretary John S. looker. A desk is provided for every member, supplied with lock drawers, stationery and writing utensils. The room is well lighted in front and rear, and chandeliers and lamps provided for night sessions. The hall is so situated that every convenience and comfort ot the members has been looked to. Mr. H. F. Galen has placed at the disposal of the Secretary adjoining rooms for committees, etc., which are accessible on the same floor. Lobby room has not been neglected, and provision is made for reporters. The hall is well heated. Army Notes. Lieut. Col. John J. Coppinger.of the 18th Infantry, now awaiting orders, has been directed to report in person to the Com manding General of the Department of Dakota for assignment to a station, (Fort Assinalwrne). Major William Arthur, Paymaster, has l>een ordered to Washington, D. C., for temporary duty in the office of the Pay master General. The Army and Nary Journal of the 5th inst. reports Gen. Thomas H. Huger, U. S. A., on leave from Helena, and visiting old friends in New York City, and making his headquarters at the Everett House. Marriage o* R. B. Harrison. Omaha, January 10.— R. B. Harrison, son of Senator Ben. Harrison, of Indiana, and superintendent of the Assay Office in Helena, Montana, was last evening married to Miss Mary Saunders, of Omaha. The bridal party was a very large one. Malicious Mischief. The indiscriminate poisoning of dogs in Butte has led to the publication in that city of the section of the criminal laws pre scribing the punishment for such offense. We believe that no harm has l>een done to the licensed dogs in this city, but as a pre ventive against such an assault upon our canine friends we print the following sec tion of the law: CRIMINAL LAWS—CHAPTER XII. Section 171. Every |)erson who shall wilfully administer any poison to any cattle or domestic animal, or maliciously expose any poisonous substance with in tent that the same shall be taken or swal lowed by sny cattle or domestic animal, shall, upon conviction, be punished by im prisonment in the Territorial prison for not less than one year, nor exceeding three years, or by a fine not exceeding five hun dred dollars, or by both such line and im prisonment. Yellowstone and Missouri River Nav igation Company. Articles of incorporation have been filed in the office of the Secretary of the Terri tory for the Yellowstone and Missouri River Navigation Company, with a capital of $10,000 in 200 shares of $50 each. The object is to transport passengers and freight on the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. The carter extends for twenty years from I)eceml>er 27, 1883. The principal office is at Glendive. Trustees—George R. Tin gle, W. W. Maybee and W. H. Raymond, all of Glendive. From the Daily Herald of January ll. STREET RAILROADS. It is only about six months since omni buses were introduced into our city, and already our people are clamoring for street cars. If it is the outgrowth of legitimate travel and business, it is all well euougb, but if it is the result of overgrown ambition or to promote the sale or enhance the value of real estate in certain localities, it ceases to become a matter of equal general importance. It is certain that more than one such en terprise could not succeed at present, and if two are attempted it will kill both. As a friend to the enterprise we will do all we can to prevent its failure. We believe it to be for the interest and advantage of every part of the city that the grade to the depot should be com pleted as soon as possible. W ith plenty of skilled railroad laborers in the coun try it ought to be a short and easy job. We believe the City Council should say that if within a certain time the one to whom the first right was granted did not actually commence work and prose cute it diligently to completion the fran chise should be forfeited and thereafter be conferred upon that individual or company that would give the best secu rity for the earliest completion. It may be said that the City Council should show no special favors, but grant equal privileges to all comers. This is only true with qualifications, for it might be the very way most effectually to defeat a project in which the public has a great interest. It belongs to those who propose to put money into such a pro ject to consider whether it will pay. It is for the City Council to consider only how to promote and protect public in terests. In any event, the Council should reserve the right to regulate the fare and reduce it whenever the profits exceed a certain rate of interest on the legitimate cost. Hon. James Fergus. The venerable gentleman from Meagher county to the Constitutional Convention, and who is now in the city, is the oldest member of that body. He has just made the trip from the Judith Basin across the country by stage to Junction, on the Northern Pacific railroad, and from there to Helena by first class cars. His sight of the railroad on the Yellowstone was the first he had seen in twenty-two years. He reports but three or four inches of snow in the Judith Basin aftl at Maiden and Fort Maginnis, but south of that portion of the country, as he approached the Yellow stone, the depth of snow increased to eighteen inches. Since he left home a few days ago there has been almost a con tinuous chinook, which no doubt has cleared the Judith country entirely of snow. The stock interests there were in good condition, and the cattle and sheep prosperous and hopeful. Mr. Fergus is a pioneer in the Judith country, as he was in Lewis and Clarke county nineteen years ago. He is now probably over three score and ten, but looks hale and hearty for one of his age. While he manages about three thousand cattle and a band of valuable thoroughbred and Americau horses, he has plenty of time at home to pursue his favorite course of reading and study, which has occupied so much of his time in all the late years of his life. His election to the Constitutional Con vention is a fitting tribute to his experience as a legislator and a compliment to the constituency that elected him, and it is eminently proper to say that a convention to form the State of Montana would not have been complete without the contribut ing presence of James Fergus as a mem ber of that honorable body. It is his in tention, after the session is over, to make a visit with his wife, who is at present in Helena, to the Pacific coast, to remain there until spring. The Funeral of James Delaney. James Delaney, who died last Sunday in Jefferson county, was buried this morning from the Helena Catholic church, where a Mass of Requiem was celebrated at 10 o'clock. The Remains were then followed to the Catholic cemetery by a number of friends and relatives of the t deceased in sleighs. Mr. Delaney at an early day was a resi dent of Helena, and afterwards of Silver Star, where he has many friends whose early regard was drawn to him by his modest, unobtrusive and gentlemanly course of life. At the time of his death he was a resident of Jeffersop Island, where he had a fine farm and stock range, well stocked with American horses. He died from the effects of an injury received by being thrown from a horse some time last snmmer, from which he suffered constantly nntil his death. He leaves a wife and one child, has a brother Moses in Washington Territory, and a sister (Mrs. Hays) at Un ionville. He was universally beloved by his neighbors and friends for his many virtues and sterling qualities as a citizen, husband and father. May he rest in peace. New Land Office Ruling. The General Land Office has recently issued the following ruling, which has the sanction of the Secretary of the Interior : To Registers and Receivers : The practice of allowing parties making a homestead or timber-culture entry credit for the fee and commission paid by them on a cancelled prior entry is discontinued. The fee and commission paid on entries of the above mentioned character cancelled for conflict, or because they have been erro neously allowed and cannot be confirmed, will be repaid to the proper parties upon their making application therefor, as pro vided in the second section of the act of Congress, approved June 16,1880, embod ied in circular instructions of Angnst 6, 1880. Applications for the repayment of the above fees and commissions mast conform to the requirements of paragraphs 11,13 and 14 of circular of Angnst 6, I860, but the affidavit required in the last paragraph of number 14, will be dispensed with. N. C. McFarland, Com'r. P/om the Daily Herald of January 12. A Sensation Spoiled This morning the Independent, under the caption of''Have We a Gould Among Us? ' undertakes to make a point against the Herald in the matter of the estate of Nick Millen. It is another dodge of the 1 Democratic organ to reach the "great pop ular heart." The Independent falsely states I that the Herald is endeavoring to hold the estate to the contract made by the late Nick Millen, contrary to the wishes of the executrix, Mrs. Millen. The facts are that, some days ago, Mr. Riddle, bookkeeper in the store, called at the Herald counting room and said that Mrs. Millen, desiring to ent down expenses, wished the advertise ment discontinued. Our business manager replied that he "would see about it." Subse quently Mr. Fisk called upon Mr. Nick Kessler, the uncle of Mrs. Millen, and her bondsman and adviser in the matter of the estate, and requested him to say to Mrs. Millen on behalf of the Herald that the contract for advertising did not expire until August 1st, but that we considered it cancelled by the death of Mr. Millen ; and in view of the fact that Mr. Millen had been one of the most liberal patrons of the Herald during the past fifteen years, if Mrs. Millen would furnish a change of copy we would cheerfully give the space in our columns three months free of charge. Mr. Kessler replied that as soon as the ap praisement was made there would proba bly be a closing out sale, thanked us for the ofler and said he would mention it to Mrs. Millen the first time he called. Awaiting the termination of the appraise ment the old advertisement has been con tinued. We dislike very much to parade these private business matters before the public, hnt in this case we are compelled to in order to refute the false assertions of the Independent. Gans & Klein. Consolidation of the great clothing firm of Gans & Klein has commenced to-day, and clerks, sleds, express wagons and em ployes are busy moving the stock from their upper store down to their large busi ness house on the corner of Main and Broadway. The consolidation means a good many things—first, a concentration of two elegant stocks of goods into one, ander one roof, where the whole number of sales men are brought side by side for advan tageous and quick work. It means further, that the stock will be distributed into two rooms, as before, but so close together that a customer for retail or job lots can go from one to another, the same as thongh the rooms were on a continuous plane. By improvements made in the store room on the corner of Main and Broadway the whole of the building is devoted to the dis play of goods under their proper heads. Additional windows have been opened in the respective rooms so that the whole house is probably the best lighted business house in the city. A vride flight of interior stairs connect the upper with the lower story and makd a very handsome and con venient improvement for the benefit of customers and clerks. The consolidation means economy in rent, a saving of lights and fuel, a better display of goods and, as a consequence, low prices at wholesale and retail. All classes and branches of industry in a community sympathize with each other and injury to one means corresponding in jury to all. Let us patronize home in dustry. Only in this way will the com munity be prosperous. ***** The Independent management has always practiced what it preaches in this particu lar and hence asserts these opinions with greater freedom than it otherwise would. The above from the Independent is enough to make ns all snicker. A cheekier enunciation has not recently appeared from that source. As the public well under stands, the Independent has discriminated against home industry and gone all the way to Minnesota to buy the product of cheap labor and placed it in competition with that of local workmen. It has pro cured and used for weeks type matter pre pared in Minneapolis and paid for at the pauper rate of ten cents a thousand "ems," and pitted it against the labor product of Helena, which commands a higher rate. This practice was persisted in day after day and week after week, nntil thorough ventilation of the meanness throngh the Herald columns shamed the Independent into an abandonment of its contemptible scheme. "Let us patronize home industry ; * * The Independent management has always practiced what it preaches in this particular." Out upon such hypocracy ! Shame upon such falsification, such incon sistency ! Statement of the Business ot the Helena Postoffice for 1883.

The .Silver Bow county tax levy is thirteen mills, the same as last year. A marriage growing out of a leap year proposal will shortly be celebrated in this city. Several new veins of coal have been dis covered north of Sixteen Mile Creek, Gal latin county. W. N. Macqueen, the post trader at Fort Keogh, has been appointed postmaster at that place. Dr. Barkley, of Radersburg, wants to purchase from three to five hundred head of stock cattle. Thirteen mills is the assessment rate adopted by the Gallatin County Commis sioners for 1884. It is estimated that by midsummer 20, 000 miners and prospectors will be in the Cœur d'Alene gold fields. An effort is being made in Missoula to secure mail service from that town to Eagle City in the Cœur d'Alenes. About fifty Montanians were at Los Angelos, California, when Col. Sanders left there a few days ago. Dr. Mussigbrod distributed $300 worth of presents to the inmates of the insane asylum during the holidays. The Miles City Journal advises the new Townsend paper to unfurl rhe Republican banner and get into good company. On the 26th ult. a patent for a concen trator was issued from the Washington office to Charles H. Wetzel, of Butte. At Corvallis on New Year's eve the blacksmith shop of F. P. Kern war totally destroyed by fire. Loss $2,500. No in surance. It is intimated that C. W. Savage & Co., of Miles City and Livingston, will resume business without loss or injury to their creditors. According to figures printed by the Avant Courier, Bozeman last year put up wards of a quarter of a million dollars into buildings. The New North- West made a New Year's present to its subscribers in the shape of a bird's-eye view of Deer Lodge, the home of that enterprising paper. Cyrille Patenaude, of Helena, has re cently patented a miner's candlestick. It can be arranged to suit almost any position and is a quite clever invention. John DickersoD, of the Minneapolis Journal, has disposed of Prospect addition to Bozeman, (which he purchased of Mr. Crowell two years ago,) for $30,000. The Knights of Pythias of Bozeman, by the authority of the Supreme Lodge, K. of P., have organized a section of the endow ment rank with a membership of thirteen, The output of the mines of Beaverhead county for the year 1883 is estimated at $1,250,000. Of this sum the Heela com pany at Glendale is credited with $1,000, 000 . H. W. Cole, the electrician, on behalf of his company, has brought suit against the Independent Publishing Company for $495, amount claimed to lie due for an electric plant. During the past year Montana exported, by way of the Missouri river, 1,128,000 pounds of wool, 360,000 pounds of bullion, and 500,000 pounds of hides, furs and peltries. Professor Von Rost of the University of Bonn, who visited the Park last summer, says that at least 25,000 bushels of lime are stacked every hour at the Mammoth Hot Springs. A company has been incorporated to construct a steamer to ply between Glen dive, Fort Buford, Poplar River, Bismarck and Pierre, to connect at the latter place with the Northwestern railroad. A man named Hall lost his way when traveling with a party to the Cœur d'Alene mines, and when found was nearly starved and frozen. He was taken back to Heron, and from there to the county hospital at Missoula, where he died from the effects of his exposure. A snow-shed at the eastern end of Muir tunnel has been completed, 612 feet in length. Another is being put up at the other end, and when trains run through the tunnel in a few days from now, the snow-sheds and the run throngh the tun nel will make nearly a mile of covered track. "Hoop-la!" yelled a jubilant printer as he emerged from an underground passage way of the Independent last night ; "we've killed the last "snake"—-there's not a squirmer left in the den !" This morning's paper shows that the typo didn't shont too previously. Not a "snake" plate appears in its columns. L. P. Williamson, who runs a stage line throngh a portion of Texas, where the Dominion Cattle company is located, says, that thirty-four thousand head of steers, ranging from one to three years old, will he driven next snmmer by that company to a range (in eastern Montana. The drive will be the largest ever made to the North. For a period of about threee months this office has not received a copy of the Ben ton Record. On the other hand we ^ave send daily a copy of the Chronicle. — Boze man Chronicle. If the Record has really not petered out it has a poor way ot showing it. The only paper which reaches this office from Ben ton is the River Press, which has never missed an issne. The Record has not been seen for several months. It is stated that the Anaconda mine has made an arrangement by which the North ern Pacific will hereafter transport its ore to market. The shipments from this source during the winter are estimated at 2,000 tons per month. The ore comes down the Utah and Northern to Garrison, from which point the Northern Pacific picks it up and carries it forward in unbroken balk to New York. Diphtheria at Deer Lodge still keeps the schools closed. The New Northwest says : "Much discretion is being exercised here in avoiding exposure to the disease, in the nse of disinfectants, in keeping the children from assemblages, and from taking colds and largely to these facts we believe is due the limit there has been to its ravages. It is well now that its entire disappearance should be awaited before again assembling the children." PERSONAL — J. R. Oglesby, of Townsend, is in the city, and will spend a few days visiting with his friends. —Dr. James Jorgensen, Receiver of the U. S. Land Office at Walla Walla, is in the city for a short visit. —P. J. Millen, of Troy, N. Y., brother of the late Nicholas Millen, has come to Mon tana to visit his brother, George, and sister, Mrs. Standah^r, whom he has not seeu for twenty years. —John M.

CATCH ON TO THE BOOM! If You Don't YonTI Get Left. For twenty years Nick Millen has had this sign and latch string out, welcoming to his store thou sands of miners, stockmen, ranchmen, business men, the ladies, boys, and girls. The Boots and Shoes that Nick sold them alwaysgave such satis faction that being customers once they were cus tomers always. And now the long-looked for railroad is here. Tlie engine comes snorting and puffing into the depot, and a few hours thereafter more cases of boots and shoes are landed at the sign of the Big Boot. Nick Millen wants his customers to under stand that, with thegreatly increased facilities for shipping, and cheaper freights, he is enabled to sell goods at greatly reduced prices. Goods the best, assortment the largest, prices the lowest, at Nick's. Call—you will be welcome ; if you can't call, send your order by mail to wly-augl NICK MILLEN, Helena, M. T. A careful comparison of Dr. Price's Special Flavoring Extracts with other flavoring extracts in the market, will convince any person that for strength and delicacy of flavor, Dr. Price's is far superior. While the other flavorings have a dis agreeable, turpentiny taste and odor. Dr. Price's is as natural as the fruits from which they are made. New Saddle House. Wm. Glassman, late of Roberts ii Glassman, proprietors of the Cheyenne Saddle Shop, Helena. M. T., has purchased the businessof L. H. Rosen cranz, of Fort Benton. Mr. Glassman has a wide spread reputation as a saddler and the following is a testimonial of some of the most influential stock men of the Judith Basin, which speaks for tself: Judith Basin, M.
