He Bagged the Ghost.

Casey Qowa) special: There
is little pond known as Silver
lake four miles west Of here, and
near it a school house, in which
the bellies and the beaux of the
neighborhood are wont to hold a
lyceum. Recently a ghostlike ap-
partition has caused nightly terror
in the neighborhood. Several
nights ago the apparition fright
ened a farmers team which ran
away, tipped over the buggy and
nearly killed the farmers wife.
The husband procured a shot
gun, loaded it with buckshot and
then lay in wait for the ghost for
four nights, getting frostbitten in
the mean time. Last night he
filed the ghost full of buckshot> :
1t cried: "My God. don't shoot
any MORE" and fell PROSTATE.
The ghost was carried home by
the shooter and cared for. No
one but the attending physician
has seen him, and he refused to
give any name. He is suspected
to be a land seeker who wished to
scare owners and buy adjoining
land cheap.

Caused by Electric Sparks.

Inquiry at the store OF D. J. HeDnessy &
Co. as to the cause OF the fire which oc-
CURED there on the second floor on Tues.
day evening elected the information thatit
could only have occurred from sparksfrom
the electric lamp falling through a hole in
the globe which hung from the ceiling over
the table on which the articles lay that
were consumed. 1t seems that this has
occurred before in another store in town.
This shows the necessity of seeing that
the globes are replaced with whole ones
whenever broken. In the present instance
the goods only smouldered, creating q
dense smoke, the smell of which penetrated
to the lower floor before the fire had reached
any proportions. The table on which the
goods lay was fortunately out OF the way
OF draught that might have famed the
smouldering fire into flame, or the damage
would have been much more serious than
it was.

Roman Letters in Germany

The Germans nave shown themselves to
be conspicuously free from national prsiu-
dice in their prompt adoption of the metric
system of weights and measures. The one
other thing which the world, and especially
the scientific world, expects OF the German
nation, is the abandonment of the antigua
ted, grabbed, sight destroying characters
of the Gothic alphabet, to which it still
pclings. The movement in this direction is
rapidly gaining strength, and it may not be
many years before the Roman characters
will be universally employed. 1t will inter-
est those who are Obliged frequently to refer
to German books to know that since 1866
the society which is ~agitating this matter
has nearly doubled in numbers. On it's lists
are now over 4,436 names including mem.
bers of all Observation-Disclosures physicians,
booksellers and merchants. In 1886, out
of 6,913 books On artistic, scientific, mer'
camille and industrial subjects, 5,316 were
printed will, the Roman letters.

Wild Angora Goats.

Virginia, New, "Enterprise": In Eureka
county are angora goats that, escaping
from ranches, have become wild. They
now range the mountain peaks. A hunter.
last week, killed a fine buck as it was in the
act of leaping a chasm. The Eureka "Sen'
tinel' says of the animals: 1.-THE wool, in
places, is at least eighteen inches long, az
white as snow, and as soft as silk. The
animal weighs 1913 pounds" It might be q
good plan to turn these animals loose in
certain mountain ranges. r%efraining IRON
killing them for a few years until they had
become numerous and sufficiently wild to
shift for themselves. They would replace
the mountain sheep now fast becoming ex'

Improvements Contemplated by Property

Improvements Contemplated by Property
Owners This Spring.
1t was learned yesterday that Curtis q
Majors, as agents for the n OF the
Mount Vernon Hotel, had notified the pres.
emit tenant that her occupancy would cease
on the LIST of May. The owners have de-
cided to meet the growing wants OF Butte
for hotel accommodation by enlarging the
Mount Vernon and fitting it to resume the
place it originally held as one OF the lead
ing hotels OF this city. The alterations
contemplated include the extension OF the
hotel on the west side and the addition oil
another story with a handsomefrontfacing
the Central school square.
A certain Helena capitalist has been
over here frequently Of late, and he has
been putting out feelers looking to the buy
ing of the Centennial hotel lot on the
southwest corner OF Main and Granite.
The owners held it at $45 1000, aud n o.
them yesterday said chat in Helena such a
lot upon a similarly central corner OF a
prominent street would bring $500
/ readily. The Helena capitalist has been
| seen here in close confab with one OF the
| leading hotel men OF that city. who mas
| also been in town often OF late, which
leads to the impression, that, il he can
come to terms with the owners. another
hotel will be reared on the site OF the old
Centennial.
A good deal OF building will be begun when
spring opens. 1t is understood that Mr.
D'Acheul will put in effect a plan he has
had under contemplation for some time o.
| adding another story to his Main street
drug store.
Messrs. Rosenthal and Jonas intend to
| add a story to the stores on Main street
occupied by Jonas tailor shop and Muir
| ply & Cannon.
Mr.. Jonas is having plans drawn for q
residence on Montana between Granite ano
Broadway on the lot he recently bought on
the west side of the street north OF the
alley.
| James H. Lynch recently bought a lot or
the east side OF Main street above Copper
for which he paid $4,000, upon which he
| will erect a two-story brick this spring.
Together with the addition to the Nc
Dermott Hotel, there is likely to be quite
an impetus in the building trade the com
ing season.

Changing the Presumption Laws-A Vile
Tunnel Job-The Ballot Box Thieves.
WASHINGTON, February 27.-Ths con-
ferees on the general land bill have practi-
caily reached an agreement. It is, in a
measure, like the House bill which pro-
vided for the repeal OF the presumption
and timber culture laws, and a substitu-
ton Of a general and effective law to pro-
tect actual settlers upon the public do
main.
The special congressional committee on
the Washington aqueduct tunnel has re-
ported that there are not ten continuous
feet of solid work in the tunnel; that q
number OF sub.inspectors have been lille
gally paid under fictitious names, and
that, while Major Lydecker and Lieutenant
Townsend cannot be held guilty Of corrupt
practices, they have been careless to an
extent that cannot be condoned.
Senator. Hoar, yesterday, offered an
amendment to the deficiency %appropria-
ton bill. to enable the President to offer a

conviction of the persons, or either OF
them, who unlawfully carried away and de-
stroyed the bill books and ballot box at

Photographing Bullets in Motion.

Phot0graph1ng buAAets In Mo1ion'
The interesting process Of photographing
rife bullets in motion, by means of the cleo.
trio light, presents some remarkable phe-
nomena, Judging from the experiments made
by Mach, the Austrian chemist. In his
operation his plan is to illumine the bullet
by letting it break an electric currentformed.
bat the velocity of the bullet must exceed
that OF sound, in order that the conditions
oil the air before and behind the proiectile
can be shown. After various experiments
he succeeded in his efforts to photograph
prolsctiles fred by Wernal and Jurde guns,
having respectively an initial velocity of
438 and $50 meters per second. The pho
tographs obtained in this manner showed
an air formation in front of the bullet hav-
ing the form of a hyperbole, while behind it
almost a vacuum was formed, in which, when
the initial velocity was very great, there
were some curious spiral motions. From
the description given, there appeared from
these photographs to be a great similarity
between the motion of a body through the
water and that Of a proiectile through the

tains, and wal disposed of by the hunter
to ont of the big butchers. 1t was fully as
large and as heavy as q big horse, and was
one OF q large flock that, after losing one OF
their number, got away. Hunters say that
both the Sacramento and the Guadalupe
mountains are fuller Of large game, such as
elk and bear, than sver beforein the history
of the west, and from the latter range
which lies partly in New Mexico and partly
in Ell Paso county, Texas, there are well
authenticated accounts Of q herd OF buffalo
roaming through its hidden and almost in
accessible f~astness. That section is a
veritable incognito. and will remain so un-
til the railroad from El Paso to White
Oaks is built. ..
