What lit Costs Her to Dress.

city schools to a young man who, with the
unreasoning propensity OF this generation,
was kicking vigorously on account of the
large amounts OF wealth which he alleged
were annually sqt,andered by women. Ill
might surprise you to know how little a
woman's wardrobe really represents .

''Suppose you give me an estimate" re-

said, is candidate for matrimony, and
for that reason felt lively interest III the

girls whose expenses for clothing excee,
5000 annually. My expenses do no
amount to more than that, and | have tc

items would be: Two tailor-made dresses

Oakley Halls Sign.

Oakley Hall, the editor Of Truth, played
neat game on confiding lager beer sa-
loon keeper. The saloon keeper in ques-
ton owns the building next to the New
York approach TO the East River bridge.
Everybody crossing the bridge mast pass
within few feet of the beer saloon keep
er's building. Oakley Hall Went to this
confiding Germ n few days ago and said
ss4sss-s agreernent was
made at a rent of $1,000 .r $1,000 year.
Then Oakley Hall moved up and, as soon
as he had planted his desk, started ont
into the street. A short time afterWard he
reappeared with gang of painters, who
swung a s,affold from Mr.. Halls windows
and began to paint the wall of the build
ing, which opened directly on the bridge.
They painted this a dead white first, and
then began to put in gigantic letters the
word TRUTH" The German saw what
a tremendous advertisement this would be
for the paper, and rushed over to the city
hall to restrain the editor of Truth from
advertising on his building without pay,
but he found that ex-Mayor Oakley Hall
had been there before INN, and had got a
permanent injunction from Judge Dono-
hue restraining the saloon keeper from in
terfering with it. 1t was shreWd move,
and will prove very profitable one.

A Noble Pugilist.

LONDON, Special Gable, Jnne 2, 10 p. n
Lord Charles Beresford has entered tn
prize ring. The arrival of Jem Mace ant
his Maori noyice was no sooner announced
than his lordship's aristocratic blood wa
stirred for a fight. He challenged th'
Maori and Mace, and a set-Eo Wltheu
gloves was arranged. Sporting circles be-
came interested, ana even the fashionable
world was eager to patronize the fight
Jem Mace accepted the challenge, and the
| fighters met in a specially engaged private
room. The prince OF Wales was present,
and was surrounded by large number OF
aristocratic sports and private gentlemen.
There was also number OF the ''taney''
in the near neighborhood of the ring.
Heavy betting was indulged in, andsthe
fun was enjoyed immensely by those pres
enU. After several exciting ROUNDS, in
which excellent science was displayed on
both siueo, Mace failed to come to time,
and finally acknowledged himself badly
beaten. LORD Charles won an easy VIC
tory, and almost without Il scratch. Her.
pert olade, the Maori, who had been anx-
ieus to have Il round or two with Beres-
ford, looked on with amazement as the old
tighter, Mace, received the pummeling
from his noble opponent. When Lord
Charles had finished with Mace and had
received the plaudits of the company, he
invited Slade 10 take a turn, but the Maori,
warned by the woe-be-gone appearance of
Mace, refused to enter the ring or risk any
encounter with Lord Charles. Mace took
his defeat quietly. The Maori seemed
much chagrined at the result of the fight.
He had counted on getting some reputa-
ton in England, and his breaking down
at the first challenge is regarded with sus-
picion. 1T is now known that Lord
Charles had lntiMated to his royal highness
that an English gentleman could always
whip professional fighter and that he had
expressed determination to meet Jem
Mace ard the Maori giant at the first op-

THE KRING FAMILY.
How the Much-tried Murderer's Sister
Fell i'm Love with Esian, Relieving
Him Her Cousin.


One of the many mysteries of this case
has been that part pertaining to Emm;
Kring, sister. Even at times when tEit
exigency of the case seemed TO require al
forebore introducing tilis girl. On the iir-t
trial the deposition of a physician from
| Illinois was read wherein the first mentions
Of the girl was inade. The defendant
Swore that the sister Was hopelessly Insane.
There was no opportunity to crass-"xam-
| inc, and the matter has never since been
| offered in evidence. The true story OF
this reads like ii romance. Charles kring,
Sr., the father of Charles f. Krihg, was a
German farmers son. When a young
man, it is claimed, he married "a young
woman. Charles f. Kring was born ut
the union. The two were separated, when
Airing, 81, came to this country. Ailer
living here few years he married his
present wife, by whom he had two boy S
and three girls. He saved quite d fortune.
The son came to this country, was taken
10 his fathers house and was represented
to be a nephew Of the old man, by de-
ceased relative in Germany. Whether the
young man was aware Of the deception
that was practiced on the family or not is
a detail that will probably never be known.
The family lived in peace for long time,
and Emma, one of the girls, grew up and
was accounted an exceedingly pretty girl.
In daily contact the young pair lived for a
long time. eating at the same table and
circling about the same firesde. A tender
affection s',rang mp In the young girls

King, the object of her love, discovered |

secret of his youthful error must be ex-

AT LAST.
The Iron Horse Reached the Helena
Depot Yesterday

At fifteen minutes before | o'clock YES
terday morning the shrilI shrek of the To-
comotive announced to those who under
stood the signal, that the track of the
Northern Pacific had reached the Helena
depot. The Importance of the event had
a. trae ted Il large number of our tizens to
the depot. Track-laying was continued
until the center OF Last Chance gulch was
reached, and here a halt was called. This
was about the middle of the afternoon.
From the time the track reached the depot
until evening, the streets leading to the
depot were full Of people going down to
see the track-laying outfit and the first To-
comotive. Several of those who went
down took with them flags and ribbons to
decorate the old black horse, Mig" who
has worked on the rail car ever since the
track passed Mandan. The decorating
ceremonies were informal. When the
workmen were ready to move the car to
take off the two last rails, the flags were
placed on the old horses harness and the
ribbons We're wound about the headstall
and reins Of his bride, and also on por-
tons of the harness. Old Mig didn't
put on any airs about it, however, but
pulled the car forward as unostentatiously
as though the admiring eyes Of hundreds
were not watching his movements. After
the last rail was spiked down mig" was
brought up into town and attracted much
attention ON the streeta,
Before proceeding with the track-laying
toward Mullan tunnel, the track-laying
outfit will finish the side tracks ut the
depot. This will probably take two days
1t is understood that trains will commence
running to Helena the first Of next week
1t will be some weeks probably before the
road will be turned over to the operating
| department, and until that time only Z
mixed train will be run, the same as now

Profitable Horse Raising.

Horses suitable to match in pairs for a
gentleman's carriage, and also to go single
in the coupe are profitable to raise. To
obtain these, select healthy mares, 10 to 16
hands high, and formed with good temper
and spirit, fine action, and as much style
as can be got combined with the above re-
quisites. The horses to breed to these
should be as perfect in all things as
the mares; special attention being paid to
kind disposition, good eyes, feet and legs.
In one or more of these four points
carelessly chosen stations are often most
blameably deficient. AS like begets like,
it is out of the question to expect choice
offspring from diseased or imperfect par
ents. The stallion ought to be l51a or
l6h hands high, and weigh, in proper
flesh. 1850 TO 800 pounds. His breed
ing must be good, either of the trotter Or
rsce horse class. Objection may be made b
some of the latter; but It OF pony build,
kiud temper, sound, with extra broad flat
sinewy legs, clear tough hoof,
