BOULDER SYNDICATE.

Work has been suspended on the mines
Of the Boulder syndicate, pending neso-
gotiations for an extension of the bonds
on the several claims. The work so far
done, on account of bad roads and other
impediments have not been sufficient to
show up exactly what the properties are
werth. It is thought the syndicate will
get an extension and that work will at
the several properties of the syndicate
prove the district to be one of the richest
in Montana.

"GIDDY GIRLS" TO GO TO FLORIDA.
A Unique Party of Ladies' to Visit tho Scene
of n Big Snake Story.


Three ladies who call themselves the
giddy young girls " will start from this city
on Saturday on a six weeks trip to Florida.
The ladies are Mrs. Piss Williams. of Mont
clair, N. j., who is eighty-two years old; Miss
Jep,ha Harrison, of Orange. who is seventy
six years old, and the wife of ex-Congressman
j. L. Morris, of this city. who owns up to

Mrs. Slade is one of the pioneers of the
Indian River, and fifteen years ago had a
thrilling experience with a rattlesnake. In
her kitchen, she says, she found one day a
snake as large around as u woman's arm
cooled in a heap in the doorway, head erect,
ready for n spring.
With great presence of mind she caught up
a kettle of scalding water aud emptied it on
the serpent.
The snake wriggled and squirmed, ex-
tended itself in u trail the length of the
kitchen. and in q few moments was dead. 1t

fortunate, and in 1876
he had the church upon a better footing.
For SOM time the congregation was with
out a permanent church, but a building was
finally secured ut the corner of Stanton and
Forsyth streets. that had been formerly CO.
cupied by the Methodists. 1t was purchased
by Father Wayman for $50, OOO. This imme-
diately aroused new interest among the
parishioners, and when, after the church had
been repaired and remodelled, it was finally
dedicated July IA, 1878, it was crowded with
worshippers.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Eugene Dikovitch, of the Order of st: Fran
els, and the sermon was preached by Father
W'ayman. The building was decorated with
in and without with flags and branches, and
the church was named in honor of st. Stanis-
laus, the martyr Bishop of ,!Cracow. Alto
gether it was a great day for the Poles on the
east side.
From hat time the church has grown in
numbers and in rrosperity. Father Way
man was succeeded in 1882 by the Rev.
Hieronymus Klimetski, who still has charge
debt OF the church, which was nearly $40, 900
when he became pastor, has been reduced to
$4,000. The congregation has increased from
a few hundred 2 noo until at the present time it
school has been started in the basement of
the church which has an average weekly at
tendance Of 800 to 400 pupils, and the inter
est of the Polish population of that vicinity
in the welfare of the little church is steadily
increasing.
Fa her Klimetski. the pastor. has passed a
life full of thrilling vicissitudes. He was
born in Russian Poland. in the year 1886, and
received his theological education in his ma
tive country, He was ordained as O priest in
1859 by the Bishop of Paranowski. In 1868,
when the revolution in Poland broke out, he
became a chaplain in the army of the patriots
and served his country valiantly. As a re-
ward for his patriotism, when the war was
over he was expelled from the country by the
new rulers. He went first to Rouen, where
he remained two years, and then went to
Paris. where he lived six years and saw all
sides of life at the gay capital.

his countrymen and went to the far West,
settling for a while in the town of Lac rosse.

FORCING THE DEBT PAYMENT.

The Ways and Means Committee Of the
House is said to nave agreed to report q bill
authorizing the Secretary to purchase bonds
at his discretion with any surplus in the
Treasury.
This may be q wise precaution against q
financial panic caused by a lack Of currency.
But it is not what the Democratic party is in
power for.
It will be time enough to pay the debt as It
natures. The sinking Juno will take care of
IL. It is wrong to tax this generation further
for the blessings to be enjoyed by the next
one. It is not right to place discretion for
bond purchases in any mans hands. Whether
he uses it or not, he will be subject to and be
charged with speculative designs.
The Democratic party has promised to stop
the surplus by reducing the taxes. Why
doesn't it beginp
