A full house gathered at the Pa

berg the wonderful feats of the
bicycle Queen, Miss Annie Sylvester,
and the bicycle race between the
young lady and Mr.. Chas. johnson:
Her riding was marked by several
extraordinary feats which have
never been attempted by any other
lady rider in the world. After alf
hour spent in this severe exercise
she entered into a mile race with the
gentleman named. The distance was
accomplished in 4. O4, the race being
declared q tic. At its conclusion
Miss Sylvester was presented with q
beautiful bouquet by some one
whose uame was not learned.
The young lady has made mile
upon rink in 3.04, and on the track
IN 8. .16; but as the race last evening
was more of an exhibition Of grace
full riding than trial of speed. she
made no effort to beat her former
record. Tomorrow night and Tues
day night she will appear in Anacon-
de-. We bespeak full houses for the
bicycle Queen.

The School Census.

We are under obligations to Mr..

TO the present and preceding cen
suses of children under q years of
age IN District No. l.
Whole number of children between
the ages of four and II years 2,193,
divided as follows: White males l, 1873;
white females 1,O36. African descent,
males 5, females 16. Total 2,193.
Under fonr years of age. White
males 4O7; white females 419. OF
African descent: males 3; females ..
Grand total for 1884, 1924.
To show the increase during the
past four years the following data is
given.
The whole numter of children in
the district under p years of age
in 1880 was 1882; in 1881
the number increased to 1,499; In
1882 it reached 1894 =; in 1883 it ran
up to 2,3S3, and the present year
gives the district 1924. This increase
in school census children is, we be-
lieve, unpreced edented in the hlstery Of

AN IRREPARABLE LOSS,
An Artist Becomes a Raying Maniac,
And Destroys an Almost Completed
Picture.

And Destroys an Almost Completed
Picture.
Some months ago the Hon. w. A.
Clark and his associates, proprietors
of the Great Shoshone Falls, made
arrangements with q celebrated
English artist to make painting of
the Falls and the grand scenery
around them. Last summer the
artist visited the Falls and remained
there month Studying them from
every point. He then went to
Omaha to complete the painting. In
October Mr.. Clark called upon the
artist and found him busily engaged
upon the work. The painting was
9x15 feet, and in design, color and
execution gave promise of being a
great work of art. Mr.. Clark intend
ed to take the painting to New Or
leans to embellish tine Montana
Headquarters in the W.rld's Ex-
position at that city.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Dewey,
one of Mr.. Clark's partners, found
posted on the door of the artists room
q card bearing these words: mo ad-
mittance for a month. Gone to the
country" A day or two later Mr..
Dewey, thinking strange of this, got
q policeman, and was about to force
an entry into the studio when they
discovered that the artist was in the
room. After some persuasion they
prevailed upon him to open the doos,
when they found himato be ravipg
maniac. Everyth ing in the room
was turned topsy-turvy, and the
painting, which had been almost
flushed, was all daubed over and
literally ruined. Mr. Clark and his
associates had advanced him during
the progress of the work considerable
sums of money, and paid all his ex-
pepses to the Falls. all of which, of
course, is lost. The unfortunate man
was 80 fully engrossed in his work
that his reason became dethroned.
He was placed in the Insane Asylum,
and this great picture and the skill
of a great artist are unfortunately
lost to the world.

Keeping q Carriage.

One of the petty worries of fashions
bic life is the administrative parapher-
MALTA connected with keeping a
carriage" The bother of the horses
falling periodically i'll, each time on the
very day you most especially wanted
them; the anxiety of damaging the mar
ket value of the beasts by late hours in
the cold and wet; the high jinks of an
Incorporate or dishonest coachman (re-
commended to you doubtless as an Al
in the coachman worlD the mysterious
and expensive ways of forage contract
ors, veterinary surgeons, and livery
tailors, all make up sum total of
botheration and annoyance which hun
dreds of people have found quite past
endurance. This has led many gentle
men of average means to buy their
own vehicles and have them horsed and
attended to at livery stables. The ami
mails are guaranteed to be always in
good health and at hand, the men like
wise; and the yearly cost can we'll be,
for obvious reasons, much under that
of amateur housekeeping, and yet yield
a good profit to the stable-keeper.
What is, however, wanted, in order to
let the public have fair trial of this
harrassing and more economical way of
keeping carriage, is for large livery
establishments to be built in the various
centers of fashion, especially designed
for the particular work required. The
experiment, we hear, is being tried in
Liverpool on this scale by well-known
horse dealer of that town. He has
erected building for the purpose. 1t
is situated in the Seton Park District
the Belgravia Of Liverpool The floor
space of the structure covers over
1000 square yards. The carriages are
taken up on lift to the first floor,
and the conveniences for doing so are
such that the vehicles will keep their
smart newness much longer than they
possibly could in any ordinary private
town coach house.-Lo1ado7a Builder.
