A business mans son had been at

How Whaling Ships Winter In the
Arctic,

In the fall, JUS before it gets so
cold that the ice forms, the ships
huddle together, and each puts
down two anchors, one at the bow
and one at the stern, and these hold
them from striking against the
shore or one another until the ice
forms around them and freezes
them solidly. Then the anchors
and ruddcrs are taken up, and, with
lumber which they have brought
from home the whalcrs build a sub
stantial house over the ship. Then
they get the eskimo TO build sort
of snow house over the wooden
house and, so, with all this covering
to protect them, they manage TO
keep warm and comfortable with
very little fire, however cold it may
be out-of-doors. Sometimes they
put in double windows, the inside
ones being made of slabs of ice, like
the curious windows of the igloos
The white men do not live in these
temporary houses built on tops o
the ships, but in the cabin and fore
castle, just as if they were cruising
ont To the sea. The house is sim
, ply put over the ship to keep tn
real places warm, and right well
does its work. This "house' how
: ever, is very useful as place fo
. taking exercise, for ship-carpentel
Z ing work, and for any small jot
. that may be necessary. The Esk
+ mo also congregate there, especial

Fire This Morning.

At about 4 o'clock this morning an
alarm Of fire was heard In the vicinity
of Seventh and Palmer streets. Owing
TO the hour very few were present at
the scene until the blaze broke through
the roof, which served as beacon To
draw n crowd, but by that time it was
too late TO save anything but some
furniture and the adjacent buildings.
1t was learned that the building
belonged TO Major Snyder, of
Fort Keogh. AT the time the
fire was discovered the occupants of
the building, Mrs. Vaughn and her
daughter, were asleep and were
awakened by parties on The outside.
The building was valued at $1,000.
The same parties were burned out
once before this year at the corner OF
Sixth and Pleasant.

piece, will he produced at the Grand
Opera house Tonight. The announce

should insure crowded house. l..
abouuds with thrilling situations,
marvellous scenery aud startling me-
chanical effects. II is a gallery play,
and the gallery goes wild over it.
Though of Il highly sensational order,
ii Possesses considerable merit and Of
course contains many thrilling and
effective situations. The plot is strong
and il based upon the folly and ban
ishment from his fathers house Of q
youth through the villainy of the
fathers business agent; hi subsequent
return and repulse by the father, his
interview with his sister, which il
seen 10y her lover, who at the instiga-
ton Of the villain, believes il to be an
appointment, aud rushes Off in a jeal-
Gus rage. Almost immediately shot
Is heard, the brother falls dead and as
the lover rushes to the scene he il ac-
cused Of tire murder by the villain,
who is also his rival. He is con-
demned, sent to prison and while in
prison is visited 10y the person who
has caused his misery, aud who taunts
him with the betrothed faithlessness,
goading him into an assault in
which he knocks his accussr
senseless. Believing he has killed
him the wretched man 4 Ms his
victims clothes and makes his
escape. He next appears in the dis
guise Of an italian tramp at the door
III his sweetheart's home In the dead
of winter in driving storm and sees
the man whom he thinks he has MUIR
| dered making love 10 the woman OF
his heart. JOY at the knowledge that
he is not a murderer is dimmed by the
thought that he is no longer loved
aud he sinks, exhausted aud misefa-
ble to the earth. He il picked up 10y
the father aud daughter, led into the
house, and being summarily elected
by his rival, turns upon him, aud in a
thrilling picture declares his identity.
The last act exposes the villainy, fixes
the murder upon the true criminal and
ends the trials OF the faithful lover. -

Important New Coal Works.

1t is well known that all the de-
presures through which the rivers
How in eastern Montana are valleys of
denudatlon. This fact has been well
established 10y geological observation;
that is the elevation of certain deposits
such rs the clays, sand-rOck and the
Ignite coal veins; all correspond one
with the other, on either side of the
Yellowstone in thickness, character
and altitude. From this data Il recent
instrumental survey has recovered the
same deposit Of rock, clay and coal on
the south side of the river, at a shorter
distance from the city than
those heretofore mentioned near
the Comstock ferry on the opposite
side of the Yellowstone river. This
find is situated on the Haines butte,
near McBride's residence, about one
mile from the city. Here, Messrs.
Gibbs, Lansing q Co., have, during
the past twenty days driven an adil
or entrance with slight downward
grade from the surface level, dis
lance of $50 feet, under this prominent
high land, and have found the same
block, shining, black and compact
coal, common to the same vein on the
north side of the Yellowstone now
being worked by Col. Comstock. The
true solution of the coal question has
not yet been reached as 1t is possible
with this outlook TO deliver coal in
this city at 81 per ton.
