A Double Murder Reported on the Flathead Reservation. Missou.a, July 23.—[Special.]—It is reported that two half-breeds were killed on the reservation last Saturday by Indi ans and there is some excitement in this vicinity in consequence. Nothing definite is known except that more Indians than usual are seen moving about the Southern portion of the reserve. A few days ago Major Ronan disbanded the Indian police on account of disobedi ence of his orders and, if there is any trou ble, the civil officers of Missoula county will probably be called on. Everything is quiet today and nothing is heard to con firm these disturbing rumors. The evils resulting from habitual costive ness are many and serious, but the use of harsh, drastic purgatives is quite as dan gerous. In Ayer's Pills, however, the patient has a mild but effective appmcent, superior to all others, especially for family use. —— SUNSET Cox, The New York Politician Passes Through Helena, Hon. 8.8. Cox and wife arrived in Helena yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock by special train over the Northern Pacific, and re mained in the city until the arrival of the delayed west-bound train, upon which they went on to Portland. Mr. Cox has just finished a tour at the National Park, and on reaching Helena received the sad tidings of the death of his sister and his aunt, which occurred since he left home. He was much grieved in consequence and, instead of stopping over at Helena to partake of the hospitality that was about to be ex tended by our citizens, went right through to the coast. The few hours he spent in Helena yesterday with his wife were divided between the hospitable homes of Major Maginnis and Mr. C. F. Ellis, Mrs. Ellis being a cousin of Mr. Cox. Owing to the sad news that met the party at Helena they were entertained in the quietest pos sible manner and had few callers during their brief stay. Mr. Cox, however, took occasion to say that he felt he had been misrepresented by the newspapers in regard to the object of his western trip. He had come out solely for pleasure and had no thought of politics in visiting Montana. Mr. and Mra. Cox will spend two or three weeks on the coast and may revisit Helena on their return trip, providing they decide to go east via the Northern Pacific. DEMOGRAGY’S STRAITS. How Territorial Partisans are Com municating With the National Committee.

He had a letter from Calvin S Brice certi fying to discretionary power in the matter, Sunset Cox will be bear tought and an effort is being made to tender him a recep tion in reward for his eleventh hour con version on the subject of Territorial ad mission. Upon the strength and which such a reception would give , he would agree to come back and stomp the Territory for free trade and the seven Dem ocratic aspirants for the Senate. Not Badly Hurt.
