Fir!*l Visit to Montana—
" n four of the Military Division
ot the Missouri.
(ien. Schofield, commanding the military
division of the Missouri, with head
quarters at Chicago, accompaned by Mrs.
Schofield and two of his stall, Maj. Sanger
and Lieut. Schofield, arrived iu Helena
Saturday and remained till this morning.
This distinguished soldier is making an
extended tour of observation through the
largest and most important of the military
divisions of the country—a division which
contains about two-thirds of the army of
the United States, and to which he was
called upon the assumption by Gen. Sheri
dan of the chief command. Gen. Schofield
yesterday received many calls from citi
zens of Helena at the International Hotel, I
where he was quartered for the day, and
was greeted among others by a number ot
ex-soldiers who served under his command j
during the late war The General reached j
this point on his official jaunt >y "ay
Denver and Salt Lake, traveling over the
narrow guage roads to the intersection of
the Great Northern Toroughfare at Garri
son. From this latter point he went as far
west as Fort Missoula, turning back from
that post on Friday last. Depart
ing from Helena this morning, he
stops for a day at Fort Ellis, and
proceeds then to the National Park, where
a wee k or more will be spent in viewing
the geysers, waterfalls, and other objects oi
interest. The special car provided by the
Northern Pacific takes the General and j
party forward to Livingston and ofi' on the
Park Branch to the termiuus. From Mam- j
moth Hot Springs suitable military escort i
md transportation have been provided, and j
t h>' trip through Wonderland promises to '
be a specially enjoyable one. Lieut. Scho
field, who in past years performed a good :
deal of trooper campaigning in Montana in
connection with the Second Cavalry, will
be about a« b ,,>011 a K ui de as the party will
want in their tour of sightseeing. He is
l( uite familiar with the topography and
trails of the Park, having been there on
more occasions than due. A memorable
reconnoisance was that of August, 1877,
when this gall;- it young officer was dis
patched with three troopers to learn and
report the direction taken by Chief Joseph
and braves in their hurried swing through
the reserve following the battle of Big
Hole. His erraud was bravely executed,
and with it will lie recalled the rescue of
the Carpenters, brother and sister, and
Mrs Cowan, who had been among the pris
oners captured by the Nez Perces. Schofield
was pursued by the Indians, but succeeded
in eluding them, and brought his soldiers
and citizen charge safely into Fort Ellis.
A Sore Affliction.
Mrs. Mary Judge, a resident of Minne
sota. is in Helena, making her home with
Judge L. N. Smith, having come to Mon
tana to recover the remains of her son,
whom she learned had been killed by the
Indians near Miles City about a year ago.
And to show how oue trouble after another
seems to be following the heart-stricken
parent since her arrival \she has heard of j
her daughter going crazy and being sent to
an insane asylum, aud ouly last night she
got word that a favorite son named Barney
had died ou the 24th ult. at Minneapolis.
To Arrive To-day.
The distinguished temperance lecturer,
Henrietta G. Moore, is expected to arrive
by this evening's traiu, and will lie the
guest of Mrs. K. H. Howey during a pof
tion of her stay iu this city. She will be
met at the depot by the reception com
mittee appointed for that purpose, com
posed of Revs. Garvin and Woods, Rev.
Tobey and wife, Prof. Howey and wife,
and others. Her lecture takes place at the
Opera House Tuesday evening under the
auspices of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union. A cordial invitation is ex
tended to all.

The Small Hoy Incendiary.
It is just about a mouth ago since the
last fire occurred iu the city, caused by
small boys kindling a bonfire in a barn.
The Methodist church and parsonage in
this city were once destroyed by the same
cause, and at a still earlier day there was a
feed stable on Rodney street destroyed by
the same means. Is there no remedy ?
We Itelieve there is. There are several

parent's business to know where the chil

parent s business to see that they do not
get matches auil do not build fires. It is
the business of people also to keep their

Good Indians.
W. A. Hedges, just in from his sheep
ranch on the upper Musselshell, reports a
general time of horse-stealing by red and
white thieves. At a short distance lrom
one of the narrator's sheep stations a party

the immediate consequence was a fight.
Th ere were only seven of the Piegans to

dead, and one Crow was killed. The Crows
were out iu quite a large party and showed

Miss Moore as a Temperance Moralist.
Miss Henrietta G. Moore's address at the
Opera House last eveuing was heard by
some hundreds of our people interested in
the cause of temperance, of which the
gifted lady is an earnest and eloquent ad
vocate. The vice of intemperance was vig
orously assailed and absolute prohibition
stated as the only remedy for the evil.
High license was a poor substitute and in
effectual iu dealing with the liquor traffic.
She favored separate and distinct political
action of Temperance people. Tariff, free
trade, civil service reform, were of minor
importance compared with the pressing
issue of temperance. Nationally and lo
cally, she so construed it. The Republican
and Democratic parties were likened to two
cats. One, long pampered, had grown sleek
aud fat, and of no good. The other, starved,
lean and hungry, wanted a chance at the
other's expense to grow as sleek and fat
and worthless as its rival. In other words
between the two parties, principles were
not so much at stake as the offices. By in
ference, the temperance people were the
elect, and they only should be voted for
and placed in power. With that the moral
millenium would come, crime and pauper
ism be no more, and in State and Nation
all would be well. In substance, but brief
ly expressed, such faintly portrays the
lady's political ideas. Of course, not all,
nor many, who in one way or another work
in the cause, adopt Miss Moore's more rad
ical views. They differ widely as to meas
ures intended to mitigate or suppress in
temperance, and not agreed as to the meth
ods liest to sanction and the channels wis
est to seek through which to effect mater
ial and lasting good. The lecture as a
whole was fascinating and instructive, and
held the audience interested to the close.
Miss Moore has hardly been overestimated
as a logical and earnest reasoner, and few
of her sex equal her in power and persua
sion upon the platform. This afternoon
she addressed a meeting of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union at the Grand
street Methodist church. On Thursday
evening she speaks in Missoula, aud later
enters upon an engagement of some weeks
in Washington Territory.
Presbytery ot Montana.
Quite a large congregation assembled
last night at the Presbyterian church upon
the opening of the Montana Presbytery.
The assembly was called to order by the !
Rev. T. V. Moore, the presiding pastor, and
the retiring moderator. After a prayer
and scripture reading, Mathew 25:31, and
singing, the Hon. Cornelius Hedges was
introduced, who delivered an interesting
discourse from the text of scriptures just
read. The PrÄbytery then elected Kev.
L. E. Hanna temporary clerk, and the Rev.
E. P. Linnell, of Miles City, as moderator.
After a report of the Committee of Ar- ;
rangements, the Presbytery adjourned un
til 9 o'clock this morning. Meetings were
announced for 12:30, and 2 and 5 o'clock
p. m. to-day. To-night there will he a
prayer meeting service at the Presbyterian
church, led by the Rev. R. M. Stevenson,
of Bozeman. The subject for a discourse
to-night, "The Baptism of The Holy Spirit
The Great Need of the Church."

ident Oakes to the Stoekgrowers Associa

Sudden Death.
Barney McArdle, a well-known miner
and prospector for many years, who lived
out on Silver creek, was found dead in his
cabin at about 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. He was leaning back upon his hunk,
when found, and appeared to have died
while in the act of lying down. His part
ner had left him only a short time pre
viously to go out and hunt the horses, and
on returning found McArdle as above
stated. Coroner Steele went out and held
an inquest, resulting in a verdict of death
from natural oauseS. McArdle was buried
Monday in the Helena cemetery.
The Bet Taken.
The straw of the "prominent old time
Republican" that appeared among the
political chaff of the Independent yester
day as indicating the direction of the
Presidential wind in the State of New
York has been taken up. That is, the bet
of $1,000 that Cleveland, would cyry New

publican of Helena, and a check for $500
on the First National Bank of Helena is
placed in the Herald office and E. W.

THE TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.
Important Information from the Sec
retary of the Wyoming Stock
Association.
In answer to inquiries instituted by
Governor Crosby concerning the Texas
cattle fever outbreak in Wyoming, the fol
lowing dispatch, containing important in
formation, has been received :
Cheyenne, Wyo., August 2. — Hon. Jno.
Schuyler Crosby, Governor : Texas fever was
started by cattle brought by rail through
from southern Texas. The infected dis
trict is between Ojallola and Maxwell on
the Union Pacific road. The disease is in
the droppings, and any range cattle will
take it from grazing near the trail or bed
ding grounds of those cattle. Several herds
have gone North. The Union Pacific is to
give me a full list of owners and destina
nation of such herds as have Come by rail.
Will send you copy if desired. Your stock
men cau then judge of the route taken by
them. ' THOMAS STURGIS,
Secretary W. S. Y. A.
To supplement the foregoing advices.
Governor Crosby has requested Secretary
Sturgis to telegraph him all obtainable in
formation of the mentioned list of cattle
owners and of the herds whose destination
is supposed to be Montana. The Legisla
ture has provided no means by which effec
tual police measures may be employed
against the introduction of diseased cattle,
but it is understood the Governor is de
termined to keep them out of the Terri
tory, if possible. To that end, if neces
sary, he will take the responsibility of em
ploying police agencies and of enforcing
such vigorous quarantine regulations as
will most effectually protect the stock
ranges of Montana against the danger of
this plague.
Measures Taken to Protect the Cattle
Interests of Montana.
!
Following his proclamation, issued to
day, establishing a quarantine against the
admission of Texas cattle into Montana
by rail, Gov. Crosby dispatched the General
Manager of the Northern Pacific, Mr.
Oakes, as follows :
Helena, M. T., August 5. — Thomas F.
Oakes, Vice President Northern Pacific, St.
Paul :—For the protection aud in the in
terest of twenty millions of dollars in
vested in cattle in this Territory, I have
issued a proclamation establishing quaran
tine against the admission of Texas cattle
into Montana by rail. What action can
the Northern Pacific take to effect a
hearty and immediate co-operation ? Of
course the quarantine will be raised as
soon as our inspectors report the danger
from infection passed. Am officially in
formed from Wyoming that Texas cattle
are cn route for Montaua by rail, via N. P.

Office of Police Magistrate.
The case of the city against Martin &
Reynolds, professional gamblers, who are
running what they call a private game in
the International Hotel, was up this morn
; ing before Police Magistrate L. N. Smith.
We welcome back to Helena a merchant
of early days, Dave Goldberg, and back
int0 the Herald adver tising columns the
The case was called, but when the City
Treasurer saw the list of names that were
to go on to the venire, and learning that
they had been placed there at the sugges
tion of the defendants, he demanded a new
deal and a cold deck. Officer Quirk was
then directed to summon a jury of good
and competent men. The case was post
poned till 2 o'clock this afternoon. This
is a case where an action is brought by the
City Treasurer against F. L. Martin and
G. S. Reynolds, alias "Bismarck
Joe," for gambling without paying
full city license. It appears that Martin
and Reynolds are running a table of "stud
poker," for which they pay a license of $25
per month and $10 additional per month
for keeping a gaming house. It is under
stood that the suit is brought to recover
$37.50 for a license laid on "any other
game" not mentioned in the city ordinance
concerning licenses. The adjourned case
was called this afternoon before a compe
tent and intelligent jury of responsible
citizens, and the jury fees paid by the de
fendents' attorney, when it was discovered
that a principal witness, one who had taken
a hand in the game on a certain day, had
skipped, been bought oft', spirited away,
gone to be an angel. The case was then
dismissed on the motion of the City Attor
ney.
Frank Frisbee a Defaulter.
We clip the following from the Oregonian
of a recent date, giving an account of a
little episode in the career of a well-known
Montanian. The article is entitled "The
defaulting hank clerk." "Nothing has
been heard of Frank Frisbee, the assistant
exchange teller of the First National Bank.
It Ls quite certain that he went away with
no intention of returning, liis residence
having been cleared of furniture without
his landlord having been apprised of the
fact. He got away with something over
$5.000, which was all attracted in oue
day. He appears to have made careful
calculations in regard to the matter. He
left on the steamer of July 26th for San
Francisco, feeling certain that his theft
would not be discovered till the end of the
month. He has probably timed his move
ments so as to connect at San Francisco
with the steamer for Australia, as it would
be useless for him to attempt to escape
from justice in this country. Frisbee has
been employed in the bank about ten
months.

Broadway, for instance, are sections of pipe
of at least three sizes—from three inches
down to as small as one and one-half inch

pipe between Rodney and Main thus be
made of uniform and sufficient capacity.
