ing in Egypt" her latest play. Speaking
of her appearance in that play at that city
recently, the Omaha Republican says: ..
"a large audience came out to see Egypt
in the evening, and again it has to be re-
corded that our theatre-goers witnessed a
fine performance. Miss Ellsler showed her.
self in an entirely new character or rather a
series o~fcharacters. As the naively innocent,
vet bright and keen-witted young girl, she
presented a picture full of charm-and as
the Princess Yeddo she presented a study
for an artist. Miss Ellsler's versatility in
the dual characters may also be character
lied as marvellous, the two natures pre-
sented being so entirely dissimilar. She
was twice enthusiastically called before the
curtain. Her costuming wax elegant, as,
indeed, was that OF the ladies OF her sup
port. Mr.. Weston appeared in an entirely
different character from that OF the after.
noon performance. He assumed the part
of Colonel Burberry, an American Prince
who had made o fortune in crackers. He
did some rather clever comedy work"

The Montana Union Begins Its Many Inn

Work has begun at Anaconda, on the

day. Several hundred men ara employed
and their number will be increased by the
addition of q large crew now snroute from

when the entire force will number over 400
men.
In addition to the trackage improve.
ments, the company has also decided to
follow the suggestions of Superintendent
Law, contained in his report, made to tne
directors when he assumed charge OF the
road, and will erect machine shops
at which all repairs to engines
and cars will be made. The shops
however, will not be built at Butte, as at
6rst intended, but will be located at Ana
conda. Their location at that point was
decided upon after the very liberal oner OF
the citizens of that place had been thor
oughly considered. In addition to giving
the company, free, a site upon which to
build the shops, the citizens further guar.
anteed the company, free Of
charge, ample water power to run
the shops, which will make a yearly saving

worthy OF the most serious consideration.
Butte offered no inducements to the COM
The shops will cost $1,000 0 aud win

the necessity OF send g work to Omaha,

The repair shops at South Butte WILL con,
tinue in operation as before and the general
offices OF the company will remain IN thls
city.
With all the improvements bow begun
finally completed, the Montana Union will
be one of the best equipped as well as most
important ~''little'' railroads in thecountry.

Rabbit Destruction in Australia.

The royal commission appointed some
time ago to consider the question OF the
destruction OF rabbits by organized propa-
CATION of disease and other methods has
recently made a report on the subject. The
| general conclusion reached is that no evil
dence has yet been found to warrant the
belief that any known disease can be so
employed as to exterminate rabbits.
| Among the plans tried was one proposed
BY NJ. Pasteur for the incubation OF rab-
bits with chicken cholera. This has
not proved O. success. 1t has been
found impossible to disseminate the poison
widely enough. The commission cannot
recommend that permission be given to
| disseminate broadcast through A~ustralisa
disease Chicken cholera) which has not
been shown to exist in these colonies, and
which in other countries prevails in disas-
trous epidemics among fowls, but which
has never been known to prevail naturally
among rabbits. Apparently nothing new
in the way of fighting rabbits is proposed
except possibly the compulsory erection oil
rabbit proof fencing.

ONE OF THE FLOODS HORRORS.
The Mother Who Trusted the Lives of Her
Little Ones to the Flood.

The Mother Who Trusted the Lives of Her
Little Ones to the Flood.
The Fem family at Johnstown consisted
OF husband, wife and eight children. On
the afternoon of the food the husband
went to the butcher shop, but never re-
turned. He was early swept away in the
flood. The pretty. pale little wife and
mother, as the food came into the house,
gathered her darlings in the parlor and told
them not to be afraid. as God would guard
them. Up surged the rushing torrent and
they went to the second floor. Again the
devoted mother babe her little ones be OF
good cheer-that papa would come with a
boat and take them away. Up, up swelled
the waters and they were forced to the
upper story. Soon their heads were beat
ing against the ceiling. As she wrung her
hand while her heart was breaking. the
little ~ related her story.
Mamma" said my eldest child, a girl,
wouldn't it be better to 60 outside and
die in the open air." Yes my dear" l
said, ''we'H make a raft and all go down
Together" l fought my own INT my
children's way to the window and opened
it. caught a piece OF plank and on it put
the eldest child, with a hasty kiss and a
"God bless you" "Then l let it float
away into the darkness and the roar of the
waves" Six times, she said, were these
frail banks freighted with precious cargoes
and a~rgosies OF pious trust. The children
were frightened, but obedience was part OF
| their creed, and they made but little pro-
test.
"Now came the turn of the last child, Bes'
! sic, the 4-year.old. Ore al fancy what it
| meant. The last and dearest. There was
| scarce breathing space in the room now.
and il haste was not used death would
come there at once. On a broad plank
| Bessie al fastened securely, and was
dashed, as had been the Others. II loved
| them all: oh, how l loved them all" said
| the mother, but l had two kisses for Bes'
sic, for she was Toms favotite and was
such a good child. She put her arms
around nv neck and said, You knowy you
| said God would take care OF me always
mamma. Will he take care OF me now?
81 told her he would and she need not zeal
| and then she was carried away. I'm not
| afraid, mamma she called out, andI heard
| her. although I could not see her-and
| that's all: except that the root was tori
| off and l foated off on it, and some Italians
saved me at Kernville, sixteen miles from
here"
s'And the children, Mrs. Fem? / hope
they all escaped" i~nquiringly whispered
b~ystander.
"You have found two Of them dead, Bes
| sic and George, and there is not a mark or
Bessie's face, and oh I am so tired. They're
all gone, every one, eight OF them, and l an
going home to Virginia after all these year,
to rest and try to think"
The poor, bereaved, death'stricken wo
man was nearly crazed. She is only ont

Their Cases Set For Trial.
The remaining three doctors indicted for
unlawfully practicing medicine in the terri
tory, were before the district court to
plead, yesterday.
The, first one arraigned was DR.. Weyer-
horst who entered q plea Of not guilty to
each of the two indictments against him.
Hearing was set for June Is and 49,. (,
DR.. c. Fl. Schultz, one Indictment. en-
tered the same plea and his trial was set
for June 10.
DR.. E. P. Beale. two indictments, also
entered a plea OF not guilty and hearing OF
his cases was set for the 10Th.
DR.. Harding, who was arraigned the day
before, was also in court and his case was
SGT for the 18th.
The outcome OF the trials which ever
way they are decided, will result in a final
decision touching the validity OF the law
under which the indictments were found,
for an appeal will be taken from the de-
| cision of the lower court, and such a thing
as the matter being finally carried to the
United States supreme court may not be
an impossibility.

falls the leaves move upward toward each
other till they touch. The secondary lea
stalks slowly droop till they are nearly
parallel with the main leaf stalks, which
in their turn fail till they point to the
ground. Thus it folds itself at the close o.
day, and there is no doubt, il it were not
allowed to sleep, it would, like ourselves
soon die. This 10 not only an example ol
the necessity OF sleep for the repairing o.

| which will digest raw beef as readily as it's

leaf is provided, fluids are poured out
which resemble the gastric juice OF the ami

| The matter of the insect body or meat Is
| thus absorbed into the substance and It's
sues of the plant as food taken into the
animal stomach is digested and becomes
part OF the animal fabric. In the animal,
digestion can only be commenced by the
brain force acting by means OF nerve upon
the gastric glands; we may, therefore con-
cede that it is the action OF the same
power in the plant that produces the same
effect.
There is no structure in plants, so far as
it's functions are concerned, more wonder
full than the tip of the radicle. The course
pursued by the radicle in penetrating the
ground must be determined by the tip.
Darwin wrote: ut is hardly an exaggera-
ton to say that the tip Of the radicle, en-
dowed as it is with such diverse kinds OF
sensitiveness, acts like brain of animals.
The brain, being seated in the extreme end
OF the body, receiving impressions from the
sense organs and directing the several move
ments."
I do not quite agree with this, but I be.
lieve it to be another example OF that
brain power which is the cause OF all plant
movement. In the commencement OF plant
life we find, in the case OF the pea or bean,
for example, the radicle emerges at one end
OF the seed and the plumule at the other.

Darwin thought it was, because that
would have the same effect upon the plu-

that is the existence OF a directing force or
brain power.
