It is unnecessary for me to say that I appreciate very highly the spirit which prompted this action. ! am acquainted with very few, if any, of the members of the Board, and, therefore, have the right to conclude that its action was hxsed solely upon the merits of my services which I re gar«! as all the more complimentary to myself. 1'lease temler to the Board my sincere thanks for the honor it has con ferred upon me. Very truly yours. X. I*. HILL. Temperance people are watching the working of the prohibitory law in Iowa. The Daienport (Iowai Democrat has gath ered re(iarts from a number of cities in the State with a view to learn how it operate«. The correspondents from fifteen cities pio nounce it a dead uilure, and those in three Others regard its su;-cc*s as doubtful. The Democrat says that in Davenport, the total number of saloons has im-reased thirty nine over the previots six months, and drunkenness is now g-eatlv increased." If this testimony is reliable it is evident that in Iowa, at least, prohibition does not pro hibit. Yelloirtiom Journal : Let our Uommis , gionere speedily prepare for the erection of < a proper addition to Caster county's court house. The grounds around it are ample, whilst the building itself is circumscribed. W all arranged otfi«-ee and good library •{uartere are pressingly needed. The erec tion of the same would both beautify and enhance the court Louse property, to say mithiug of the great convenience to I« thus secured. The cost need not neces sarily be large. The United States allows annually the suffi of $4t»0 for rental for court house purposes, such as suggested, and thit amount would be fair interest up a $4,000 investment. , From the Dailv Herald of January 21. An Incendmrv Blair. East night,at aliout *:30o'clock the torch of the mcemliary was discovered to have set tire to some baileil hay in (he building corner of Main and Gtb avenue, lately otru- pied by the Johu W. Eowell M agon Com- pany. Tbe blasa was discovered by some young gentlemen who were coasting down 6th avenue, ami M«a*rs. Hovey an«l Chand- ler gave the alarm and burst oj»en the tloors and commented to extinguish it with snow. Other |«arties came to the rescue with buckets and blankets ami soon had the flames in check, while others tumbled the tales of hay out into the street. The alarm brought out tbe fire department, but the fire being so completely under control when it got upon the ground they «lid not go into action. The discovery of a bucket of coal oil close to the burning hay was evidence conclusive that the tire was the work of the incendiary. The hay belonged to Charles Lehman, and the loss is but trifling. - ■ Kinky Mountain Owls. The ewreises were opened by a charm- ing "instrumental duet " by Miss Klein- schmult an«l sister. These ladies have the > ' la«-alty of drawing the must pleasing melo dies from the piano, sh« wing not only rare skill but u thorough appreciaticä of music, The paper read by Mr. Von Tobel was a i scholarly ellbrt, ami showe«l care and pains taking in its preparation.

I^Roy, Rudolph Von Tobel ami others respond e«l with choice selections. Mrs. 8. G. Murray reciteil a humorous satire ou science, as giveu by a fashionable school graduate. It is neeilless to say that this accomplished lady brought down the house. The Indian quest mu was discussed by Mr. A. J. Craven aud Prof. K. G. Murray with that luminous perspicuity usually displayed by those who never saw a ball dozen redskins in their life. However, tbe Indian still r«-mains. The arguments were confined mainly to the expediency of compelling the Indians to liecome owners of this land anil to give up their reserva tions. The arguments were able and in teresting. ' The exercises closed with an oration by A. T. Brown from the text of "Hard Times. " a most interesting an«l instructive production. As a whole the exercises were of un usual interest, and were listenetl to by a large audience. On Friday evening. January 29th, Rev. R. B. Tobey will lecture on Tom Payne. The Romance of Marriage. We chroniele<l the other day the mar riage at Sun River of Mr. Stanley Mafiee, of Eagle Rock, to Miss Cleo Myers. The lire*-; little lady, we are t >ld. journeyed alone sixteen hundred miles, from Geneva. Michigan, joined her tietrothed at his ran« h on the Benton road, and proceeded w ith him to Sun River, where Rev. W. J. Hunter made the couple man and wife. There are a numlier of happy wives ami mothers in Montana who, in the years past, journeyed singly and alone from the «listant States anil wedded here the men to whom they hail pledged their troth. In Helena there are several such settled in pleasant homes, who are the wives of excellent husliamls aud the mothers of splendid mountain-born children. We bid more of these good, true-hearted women to come to the Terri tory and seek their promised husbands. In such cases the woman can offener «-oiue to the man thin the man man. can go to the wo Hlooded Cattle Charles Anceney, of Gallatin county, one of the pioneer cattle and horse breeders of | Montana, returned re«-ently from theStat«« with four ear loads of thoroughbred and high grade cattle. Twenty-five head were Rolle«!- Angus thoroughbreils—twenty-four cows and one bull ; also four hea«l of thoroughbred Shorthorns am! the balance of the lot high grade Shorthorns. Mr. Am-eney also brought one fine thorough bred imported Norman stallion, which weighed 1,500 pounds anil cost $1,800. The animal was purchased of M. W. Dunham, of Wayne, 111., and was brought from B" ranee this year. Mr. Anceney says, from his own observation in breeding, he be lieves Eolled-Angus and Shorthorns to be the two best brevis of cattle in the world. He says the finest «alves he ever saw were a cross with a high grade Shorthorn- cow and a thoroughbred Eolled-Angus bull, tbe same being the property of Kstill Ac Elliott, of Howard county, Missouri, who will ex hibit them at the fat stock show at Chicago next season. Coasting on the Sidewalk. I To-day, at about 1 p. m., a little boy ««me down on a Broadway sidewalk fa« «. downwards, on a sled, and as he was about to cross Jackson street he came within an ace of running under the wagon of a China man, who was driving a pair of horses. Any other horses than'those old stagers which have lieen driven about the streets for an age would have run over the little fellow and probably killed him. but luckily the horses stopped and allowed the lad|to pass in front of them. It will not be so always, and unless the dangerous practice of coasting on the busy thoroughfares is stopped there will be loss of life to the coasters and probably to others Iron, run away teams.

Missoula County Timen : We infer from talk among the heavy ta\ [layers of Mis soula aud other parts of the county that a movement will soon lie started to counter act the influence of persons who, it is claimed, are liable to mislead mem Iters of of the legislature on the subject of county division. , I The Eotts «Sc Harrison Horse Company ha\e 1,1100 head of horses ou their Mis souri river ranch, near Townsend, M.

Miles City Journal : Whatever legiti mately contributes to the sjietsly a«l\an«-e meut anti permanent prosperity of Miles City in a legitimate point of view should be sjteedily adopted. To this end we have strcummsly advocated the selection of this point for the pro|«osed Easte rn penitentiary of Montana.

The committees and other particulars are given in an ad vertisement in to-day's Herald. Stockfroietr'» Journal : A prominent stockman reported on Thursday that he had ridden down on the north side of the Yellowstone river to Terry and up on the , south side from Bad Route to Terry, jiass ing some 2,000 head of cattle on the route, and was surprised at their excellent ap pearan«-e. He bad seen only seven head of dead cattle on the trip, and stock gener ally seemed to lie standing the cold well. A «orrespondent, writing from the serve, contradicts the published report of a big carouse on tbe part of the Elatheads at the time of the payment of their claims by theNornern Pacific. The writer says: "The Indians on this reservation to-day, num bering over 1,500, will show a smaller per centage of drunkenness or disorderly i-on dn«-t of any nature than any civilized white community of one-tenth their num ber." Yestenlay a message was telephone« 1 to Marshal Hall'onl giving notice of a skir mish going on lietween a lot of yelping, tigting care, in these words: "Sav '■ Hello! Is that you. Marshal? There is a whole regiment of dogs down on Broadway, with their right resting on Main street, faring south, with an evident movement «m the city authorities. Be advised, so as to turn the enemies left and attack their, in the rear." The Missoula Timen of the promised Ter ritorial Eress Association: There can probably l»e no iloubt—there ought to be nom- —of the success of this movement. The meeting of newspaper people would not only lie a source of recreation and pleasure, ami afford a lietter aojuaintance. but would elevate the work of the profes sion, liecause it would stimulate ambition and heighten energy. We lielieve tbe call will lie responded to with alacrity. YtUenrtAemt Journal: While the press of Montana have emphatically marked their disapprobation of th>- principle of the appointment of non-residents to the Gov ernorship, there seems a general desire to distinguish lietween the principle and the person, who under its operation, receives the lienetit of it. With scarcely an ex ception the Territorial press has evinced a disposition to accord Governor Carpenter a courteous reception and a fair trial. Our impressions of the Governor lead ns to be lieve that be appreciates the situation, and will carry himself ao as to meet the ap proval of tbe people generally. Inh r-Mountain : Ex-Governor Eotts is one of the most active Republican meci here. Economy is his hobby and he pro poses to cut public expenses in every di rection. He is engaged in a good work and if he will direct his energies where they are most needed, he will greatly popularise himrelf with the people. It is hoped, how ever, that he will not go to the extent of making an effort to reduce the salaries of county treasurers, as is reported. Mr. Welch, tor instance, is under an $80,000 bond. So is Mr. Baldwin, of Lewis and Clarke. Their labors are continuous and their responsibilities great To reduce their present <om pensa tion would be unjust. Where the county fonda are large, as is the case in the lending counties of the Ter ritory, men elected to control them should be adefjuately paid ; otherwise good men will not accept important public trusta, and public moneys would be confided to irresponsible parties. : ; I PERSONAL. — L.
