Since introduction of spelling matches. many words have come prominently into notice--words that were previously comparatively unknown. For instance, we find Antiseptic, meaning: preventing and stopping all fermentation and decomposition, and Analgesiant: Painkiller. Then there is Antipyretic: cooling down inflammation and fever heat. These three words, so often mis-spelled, are three of the cardinal virtues of something that will cure many a bad spell, and that is Salleyliea, pronounced Sal-i-cyl-i-ca.

It Will be alert-lew With Condemned Man-He Mill Object. to Manclntf and Would to be Mhot. A reporter of the INDEPENDENT called at the jail last evening in company with Mr. Ig. Millei for the purpose of interviewing Henry Fohrumn, who is sentenced to be huug at uoon to-day.

The condemned man was found the jail office conversing with the sheriff aud some other gentlemen who had called to see him. He was seated on his cot (he has been sleeping in the office for several nights past, under guard) talking animatedly and seeming excellent spirits. One unacquainted with the circumstances would never have suspected that this was a man con- denied to suffer death on the gallows within a few hours. Fohrman showed no hesitation whatever in talking about himself and his approaching execution. lie said he had no dread of death, but very much disliked to be hung-only, however, on account of the disgrace of such a death.

If allowed to choose he would prefer to be shot, and. if possible, by three German soldiers. He gave no explanation of this preference, except that it would suit him better--not because it would be an easier death but that it would be a less disgraceful one. In referring to the killing of Jacob Kenck he said he felt no contrition for his act, although, if it were to do over might not do it. But at the lime he tired the shot he was controlled by an irresistible impulse.

Yet he felt no moral responsibility for it, for the reasons which had urged him on to the commission of the deed were sufficient to convince him that he was fully justified. The evidence presented in court included most of these reasons, but there were other motives, plain to hisownmiud, could hardly be expressed in words. As to the future Fohrrnan has no fears. While believing in a future state, his faith in that respect is entirely different from that of Christians. He believes that when men die they merely change form and that their spirits pass into birds, beasts, plants, or some other form of animal or vegetable life.

From this he argues that one's acts here can have little effect on his future state. The condemned man has been guarded day and night ever since he was sentenced to death, as it was thought possible that he might attempt suicide. He has told Mr. Miller that he did at one time have some thought of attempting suicide, if opportunity offered, to avoid the disgrace of hanging, but this idea he gave up a week or ten days ago. The report that the old man's health is rapidly failing is entirely untrue.

His physical condition is much better than it was at the time he was placed in jail. Ilis life in prison has been comfortable, he has slept well, and despite his seventy years (he was born in November, 1813,) he is in comparatively good health. His only anxiety seems to be that no mistake may be made at the gallows. He received with apparent unconcern the announcement that the Governor had refused to pardon or reprieve him and is fully resigned to die. The gallows on which Fohrman will be executed has been used on several previous occasions.

It consists of a strong frame twelve feet square and eight feet high, with upright timbers at each side projecting nearly seven feet above the platform and connected by From the centre of the cross-tree hangs the rope aod immediately underneath it is the trap. One side of the trap is hinged, while the other side rests upon projecting lips of a heavy rod which by the slight movement of a ever at one end turns and thus withdraws the support from beneath the swinging side of the trap. The gallows has been carefully tested and will be in excellent working order. The execution will take place at or near noon to day. Diamond Dyes at COMSTOCK'S Drug Store.

HKI.EKA, May Sunday issue of your paper contains an extract from the report of the Beutou grand jury which censures Major Young for depredations committed by the Piegau Indians, aud charges that the rations issued to these Indians are not sufficient for their support. As I know something of these Indians and of their country, I wish to say that as the reservation has a very extensive boundary line, it is as impossible for the agent to oversee and prevent stray Indians from killing stock, as it is for the stockmen to prevent their cattle from ranging upon the Indian reserve and that the Indians do not receive sufficient rations because the government appropriation for a population of more than 3,000 is only $35,000 per annum, less five a cents week per capita. This aud similar other attacks upon Major Young are made for the following reasons, viz: 1. The people of Benton and vicinity are nearly all stockmen aud their ranges are over-crowded. 3.

The Blaekfuet reservation contains many million acres of the best grazing lands in Montana. 3. Major Young always has resisted attempts to reduce the of the reservation and open Indian lands to settlement. It is certain that the Government must tit some time open these lands to settlement and while the agent may be unwise in trying to delay the inevitable it is certainly unjust to attack the agent instead of the department for ration issues, and a land policy which his superiors sanction. Respectfully, A READER.

MONTANA MATTERS. The Butte electric light machine still remains closed down. A pile driver is at work on the eighth crossing of Hell Gate, There are rumors afloat of soon to be promotions at Fort Missoula. Engineer Connor is progressing rapidly in luying out the station at Lavalla creek. Templin, a workman at Marent's gulch, had his leg broken by a falling timber last wsek.

The go-as ypu-please skating contest at the Missoula skating rink last week was won by George Amiraux. About one hundred persons have passed Silver Bow en route to the new discovery reported in the Coeur d'Alenes. The city marshal of Missoula is allowed $75 per month, beside fees. Policemen are paid $3 per day, and fees. Miss Frances Willard, a Pacific coast temperance lecturer, will make a tour of Montana the coining summer.

Romaine Son recently brought over from Washington Territory a band of 160 horses for the Western Montana market. Butte has passed an ordinance prohibiting gift enterprises, lotteries, patent medicine vending, and gaming devices on the streets. Montana towns along the Northern Pacific road are likely to be given plenty of flrst-closs theatricals from the time the road is completed. The statement published a week or two ago to the effect that a carpenter was killed by falling from one of the piers at Miircnt's incorrect. A Coeur d'Alone chief offers 375 cayuse ponies to any white man who will marry his daughter.

There's a chance for one of the boys to get a start in the stock business. The Missoula city council has passed an ordinance prohibiting noises at night, either vocal or instrumental. This will put a stop to brass horn and piano practice when one's neighbors are wanting to sleep. Lieut. Cook's command has been withdrawn from the Jocko reserve, where it was stationed for several months, keeping whiskey sellers and hard characters generally off the reservation.

Julius Steinhart, a Portland drummer, visited Missoula and sold goods there without paying license, and then left for the west. The sheriff has gone after him with a pressing invitation to return. A Butte citizen, after having paid stage fare to Helena, wanted to withdraw the deposit, and the agent could not refund, To get even, the man rode over to Helena and walked back the next day. There is nothing like getting even, after Union- Freeman. St.

Paul, Fargo, Bismarck, Miles City, Glcndive, Livingston, Bozeman, Helena, Missoula, Spokane Falls, Walla Walla, The Dalles, and others form a strong combination of towns along the route at convenient distances for traveling companies to visit while en route to and from the Pacific coast. Judge Wade, while in Custer county, instructed the county treasurer to refuse payment on warrants to the amount of $10312, issued by the old board of county commissioners subsequent to the passage the act of legislature declaring their offices vacant. The Missoula boys say that if anybody wants a name of base bull, they will organize a world-boating club. In view of the fact thnt Helena has repeatedly published the fact that' the ballists of this city are just aching for a racket with somebody, the statement of the Missoula boys is quite child like and bland. The Miles City Press says: We learn from Charles W.

Savage that when ex- county commissioner Briggs loft St. Paul in haste and secrecy to avoid arrest, he left behind him his wife, with only five dollars in money and a month's rent due. Mr. Briggs was married, we beliovn, last winter in St. Paul before be entered the furniture business.

His wife is the object of general condolence. Stealing Stock from the Crow India UK. LIVINGSTON, May has been discovered that an organized band of rustlers are running off stock belonging to Crows on the Wyoming borders. The Indians are asking for protection.

COUNTRY ORUE11S RESPECTFULLY SOLICITED. Blankets, Quilts. Trunks and Valises, An Interesting Statement. A large amount of the real property in ern Territories hiubeen transferred without much attention being paid to the titles, the result of which is tbat very many titles are defective, and It is unsafe without a thorough examination to buy or loan money on real property. Especially in this the case In Uclena and Lewis and Clarke county.

Manv instances exist wherethrough the carelessness of conveyances, property has been Improperly described, and frequently lands are described as in one section, or townshlp.when in reality they are in another. Many deeds have nut been placed upon record, and a serious break in the rhiiln of title Is the result. By Insisting upon having an ABSTRACT OF TITLE FURNISHED FROM LOCKET'S ABSTBACT OFFICE Before pitying, loaning money on property, you may avoid littgiilion. Having nurclKisod the exr.hislve right to use Henry Wlllson's Comprehensive System of Abstracts In Lewis and Clarke county, and having had a complete Abstractor the HecorJs compiled, 1 am now prepared to furnish an abstract of title to uacn Town Lot, Tract of Laud, Placer and Mining claim in the county.
