At about three O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, VIM. F. Goeein, better known as the
kerry Eagle" came into town and in
formed the authorities that q man had
been killed at his house, up Tongue river
about three miles. Judge Cotter hastily
empanneled q jury and proceeded to the
scene of the murder and there found the
body of man named McCarty, an old
timer of this town, who led a precarious
life, doing all jobs about the town and
worked at the railroad awhile as two
time checks were in his possession. Ow-
ing to the unreasonable hour the jury
did nothing there, and the body was
brought to Miles City and the inquest
was proceeded with to-day. A represent
ative of the Press interviewed Goggin
this morning and from his rambling talk
made out as nearly as possible that Cog
gin was in town Monday, boneht . jug of
whisky and started for his ranch at about
three O'Clock, carrying the whisky with
him. McCarty was stopping at the ranch
and Goggin said they were going to have
q big Christmas spree. According to
Goggin's statement when he reached the
house he saw blood on the doorstep, and
inside lay McC'arty, all bloody and with
four holes in his head, probably caused
by blows from . pick. The man was
quite dead. Goegin was in state of in
toxication bordering on insanity, and
coolly proceeded to cook and eat his sup
per, and then lighting four candles in the
shack, proceeded to town to bear the
horrible news.-Miles City Press.
"Kerry Eagle" or VIM. F. Goegin, is
known by the writer. He was at one
time soldier at Fl. Keoeh and when
sober was an Industrious, hard-working
man; but under the influence of liquor
became wild and hilarious, usually get
ting into fight. One bleak, cold winter
morning ne was found a short distance
from Miles City, lying asleep, almost
frozen, with bag of potatoes at his head,
a sack of -four at his feet and four-lighted
candles around him. When drunk he
was loud ip threats which were regarded
as harmless, and resulted in kerry"
spending large portion of his time in
the bastile. He is an Irishman from
Kerry, and from the loudness of his yells
was called an Eagle; hence the name of
.sKerrv EAGLE"

THE EXECUTION.

Last night the prisoner wrote a note to
the CHRoNIcLB, which is published in
another place; then wrote three >letters
to relatives; after which he composed a
song and laid down to sleep. About one
o'clock he woke up and began singing
and afterwards laid down and slept
soundly, until reused by his jailor. At
an early hour Rev. Stevenson of the Pres
byterian church, who has been with him
for the past ten days arrived and up to
the hour of execution sang and prayed
for the doomed man. He partook of q
light breakfast and appeared remarkably
courageous, more SO than he has been

remarkable indifference to his fate.

Fashions Freaks.

Velveteen skirts for dresses are fash
ionably trimmed with bands of fur.
Knitted black stockings are the latest
craze among fashionable young ladies.
In making up the female form divine
for promenade padding is carried to an
extent approaching deformity.
Muffs are shown of wooden goods
lined with fur, or with merely a fur
border stimulating lining.
Poppy red velvet is used in blue cloth
costumes. Red squirrel bids fair TO rival
gray for cloak Innings.
Chenille will form a leading feature.
mingled with gold and silver braid, for
both capoteS and large brim hats.
Clusters of autumn foliage in velvet
are arranged an sets for the bonnet and
muff decorations to be worn later on.
The sets of natural beaver (cape and
muff) are in great demand for young
ladies, but otter is most confined to caps,
bands for trimming and the like, its ex-
penSe standing in the way of its use for
more important purposes.
This season the straight skirts sug
geSt the employment of fur in wide
bands round the bottom of walking
l'dresses of velvet and Velveteen and
many are thus finished. Coats, too, are
thus bordered, the simple lines suiting
well material and trimming.
There is but one little change to note
in the fashions of FAIRS. The most i'm
portant this season is the introduction
of a a cape with long, square ends, after
an old fashion worn a hundred years
ago. This is a very elegant garment,
only made in handsome furs.

Smoking Sisters.

AS sit writing, can see an open
window, and little way off fair girl
smoking cigarette. She puts it to her
lips, draws a fair mouthful of smoke,
and pufs it out in a faint blue cloud
from nostrils and lips. Morally speak
ing, there is no crime in smoking a
cigarette, but l shall be sorry when it
grows natural to me to see lady smok-
ing without noticing it. There is
species of wickedness in it | rather like,
but that is only in people whose wicked
ness Is the most attractive thing about
them. l don't know why smoking
should become man, and yet be I'M,
ladylike in a woman. Some men are
appropriate to cigarettes, some men are
appropriate to cigars, and some are per
fectly natural with a pipe. A dude
with cigar is overbalanced; a strong.
bearded, manly fellow with cigarette
is homogeneous; a little man with big
pipe, is ridiculous. But an old woman
with short clay pipe takes the cake.

And then she gathered few more clust-

dictionary, where they wouldn't be dis
turbed for two months. And the next
morning one of her eyes were shut and
the other was going, her nose was as
big as a pear, red as new wagon, and
shining like peeled onion. Her cheeks
were notified and her whole face looked
like the glamour of an autumn hill side
on a "hurrah." The glamour and
dreamy beauty of this autumn leaf
business usually fades into a bitter
recollection when she who gets the leaves

The Education OF Girls.

That girl has the best education, who
is the most thoroughly qualified to take
care of herself in hand to hand fight
with the world. Who has basis OF
good judgment, practical knowledge,
and common sense, in which to start in
her self-sustaining career. Who is
armed with the able weapon of a trade
or profession with which sheis familiar.
and whose conduct is. governed by ex-
acting principles of natural integrity.
Such q girl possesses g fortune in her
own right which no fluctuations of bust
ness circles can depreciate, and who
will never become a drag upon opulent
and unwilling relatives. With health
and strength ana a fair start In the race
for life she will reach every milestone
of success. Nor wear out or grow
discouraged by the way; and not infre-
quently she will outrun her Wanting
brother, and even stop to lend him q
helping hand.
The properly-balanced, well-educated
girl Is aware that she can do one thing
well and she bends all her energies to-
wards its accomplishments She con-
centrases all her forces, instead of scat
tering them, and has something to show
for it. She is the best accountant or the
cleverest writer, or the most successful
saleswoman, or the hardest worker in
the sciences music, physie, law-what-
ever her talent destines her for. She
studies with an aim, and understands
what she learns. Her mind is a store
house, net a sieve, and she endeavors
to absorb quality rather than quantity.
anc comprehend TO her own enlighten-.
ment what she studies. The wretched
system of forced culture in which girl
learns little French and Latin, a smat-
tering of mathematics, glance at polite
literature, and great deal of poor
piano playing, has been abandoned in,
favor OF a more sensible curriculum
commensurate with her value as CO.
worker with her brothers.
