THE LIBRARY.
Preparations for Moving into th'
New Rooms.

New Rooms.
The Board of Directors of the Public
Library met yesterday morning, Presi-
dent Dobinson in the Chair, and Direc-
tors Davies, Jones and Hanchette and
the Librarian, Miss Kelso, present. The
Committee on Removal reported that the
books in the Library will be moved into
the new City Hall on Monday next, and
the Librarian was instructed to adver-
tse in the daily papers that the Library
would be closed until further notice after
Saturday, but the newspaper room would
be kept opeu the Downey Block until
further notice, or until the newspaper
room in the new City Hall was ready
for use. Subscribers will be requested to
return books to the Library on or before
Saturday.
1t was decided to offer a premium of
$40 for the best design of seal for the
Library, the design to be such that it
can also be used for book plate, and all
competitors to hand their drawings to
President Dobinson inside of the next
twenty days.
The report of the committee on the es-
innate for the expenditures of the Library
for the next year was read and adopted,
and the Librarian was instructed to pre-
pare copies Of the report to present to the
Council and for each of the newspapers
An informal discussion followed as the
best means to secuse donations of books
for the Library. 1t was decided to bring
this matter up at later date, and the
Board adjourned to visit the Library
rooms in the new City Hall. 1t was the
general opinion that at least 10000 vol
umes should be added to the Library by
the citizens.

EIOcutiOn Gives an Exhibition.

ElOCuttOn Gives an Exh1DhtlOh.
The Rev. E. r. Bennett, of Pomona,
gave an address before the members OF
the Olympian Literary Society of the
Los Angeles University, on Tuesday
evening of June 18th. He took for his
theme, "You Can if You Think You
Can" He spoke of the possibility of at
tanning to almost any sphere OF useful
ness, and said that only those who
thought they could, even could attain to
the topmost round of the ladder Of fame,
and that the great cause of the do wnfall
of the nations in the past was the lack of
men, not of citizens who wore mems
clothes, but real live men of brains and
heart and purpose to do great things,
and men that do because they think they
can. At the close of the address the
speaker was rendered the unanimous
vote of thanks by the members of the
society.

1T LOOKS THAT WAY.


Belief that the Montana Central Will
Build to Anaconda Growing Stronger.
For some time d strong belief has beer
prevalent that the Montana Central would
be extended to Anaconda. Notwithstand.
ing the repeated denials OF the report by OF,
ficers OF the company, the belief has not
been dissipated, but On the contrary it has
grown, and the frequent visits OF President
Hill of the Manitoba to Anaconda of late
have only tended to strengthen the convic,
ton.
Yesterday Mr.. Hill, accompanied by Sir
George Stevens, president OF the Canadian
Pacific and a director OF the Manitoba, Mr..
Morgan, OF Drexel & Morgan, and Mr.. & iiss,
OF Bliss, Morton & Co., two o! the wealth
lest banking houses of New York City, and
Colonel Broadwater, president of the Mon
tana Central, arrived in the city on a
special from Helena. They were met at the
depot by Major Dawson and taken in car
riages to all OF the principal mines on the
hill. Afterwards they boarded their train
again n proceeded to Anaconda and
made thorough inspection of the smelling
works at hat place. Returning they met
Marcus DAILY at Stuart, that gentleman be-
ing enroute to Anaconda, and who, al
though in the city when the visitors ar
rived, was unable to meet them at the
depot, on account Of indispositiou, he then
being at the residence of M. J. Conneli. A
lengthy consultation ensued, purport OF
is known only to the participants. The re-
suits, however, seemed to be particularly
pleasing to Mr.. Hill, for he was seen
to smile unusually brightly, and was
in a particularly good humored mood dul-
ing the balance of the journey back to the
city.
That the conference, however, WIS in
some way connected with the much talked
OF extension of the Montana Central to
Anaconda, seems to be an accepted fact.
Correctness of suDposition, of course, re-
mains to be proven.
The party did not stop here on its re-
turn. but continued on east to Great Falls
and st, Paul.

A Morphine Fiend.

A writer in the "Pall Mall Gazette"
gives a very graphic description of the NOR.
phine habit, which is apparently growing
among the community at al alarming rate.
and causing the devastation to body and
soul in a degree which can only be realized
by those who have the misfortune
to witness it's effects upon it's un
.ortunate victims. There are three
distinct stages OF morphine absorb
ton, all OF them brief in dura-
ton, the last one briefest of all. During
the first stage the results are purely
pl%easureable; they bring a draught OF fresh
life into jaded limbs, aud the subject lives
in a glamorous sense of vague happiness.
l n time, hos ever, a change ome DER the
spirits OF this rose-colored dream. It's
continuity becomes broken by dreadful
intervals of reaction, during which
the victim is oppressed By all ths
of intense melancholy and
weakness, from which relief can
only be obtained by continual repetition OF
the process OF injection. In the third stage
the drug has obtained II complete mastery,
Ind although the subject feels hat she is
drifting out OF life, she il practically power
to ave herself. We're it possible, how.
to analyze the mental condition of
5he victim during the hours of reaction, it
be possible to realize, also, the tor.
lures of the damned.

Attention having been called to the
last words reported to have been uttered
by Roberts at the gallows. it is proper to
take notice of them, if only to correct the
false impression gaining currency that
they were intended by their prompters to
convey. For they could only have been
uttered by the condemned at the instance
of some designing, evil-minded person
who was actuated by malice. To say
that they were utterly false is hardly
necessary. They implied active effort By
these gentlemen to have the sentence
take effect, when the fact is that they
refused-emphatically refused
to sign the petition for Communication Of
his sentence to Imprisonment for life,
and, al they were perfectly entitled to
do, expressed the opinion among their
friends that to interfere with the sem
tence of the court would be doing the
a grave injury. The abject
malice Of the individual who could
a condemned criminal to such
IN abuse of a privilege accorded to him
BY custom can only be explained as pro-
from a naturally vicious and
ieprayed mind and will simply awaken
he detestation OF all who become cogni-
ant Of it.

His Wife Was Hard to Please.

President Lincoln had been during our
most stormy weather to visit the camps of
the generals in Virginia and taken a violent
cold. Mrs. Lincoln was in despair, and one
day said to Secretary Stanton: II do wish

bed now and suffering a~gonies withIhis arm
from acute rheumatism. / don't know
what to do. He goes out and keeps at work
every moment"
Mr. Lincoln waved his long arm at the
secretary, saying: "Well. Stanton, there
ought to be nj comfort for my poor wife,
anyhow-the same that the poor man JEFF
ferson had, whose only son died. Did you
ever hear the story"
"His friends, family neighbors and church

arose and said: My dear friends, we have

Standing Up for His State,

Lieut-Gov. w. T. Davies was at the Cir.

pe%rturbale expression Of face. He never
talks much, but he thinks a great deal.
He was one of the few people OF this state at
the reception given by the Lawyers club
OF New York to President Harrison during
the Washington centennial. After the re-
csption a young gentleman who happened
to be sitting beside Mr.. Davies on a sofa
opened a conversation, said he was from
Pennsylvania, and kindly entertained him
with a long discretion on the various quail
ties OF the state. Mr.. Davies listened as
attentively as if he had never heard a
word OF the commonwealth before. and
even politely expressed his astonishment al
OF marvellous things that were told
him.
You ought to take a trip to Pennsyl-
vania," said the young advocate finally.

tain when it comes to altitude, but it
makes a great show on the prairie. Its
highest point, Butte St. Paul, is only g..

level is only 500 feet higher than the prai.

two-thirds Of it in North Dakota and the
remainder in Manitoba. This rounded
lakeland, for that is the real formation, is
fifty miles long by thirty-fve miles wide.
Forests of oak, beach and aspen cover it.
Springs break from the edges and send
little streams down to lose themselves in
the prairies. There are numerous lakes on
