Gen. Anderson succeeded Gen,

foreign bond-holders, and on Wizards
resumption of control year ago he was

kosser was right in running the line
from Glendive to Great Falls and thence
via Cadets Pass, and that Anderson
greatly increased the cost by the route he
chose. However, Anderson will go down

During the recent visit of the Manitoba
and Montana Central magnates to Butte,
it was given out on the q. t. that the Mon
tana Central would be extended to the
coast as speedily as possible. In the re-
organization of the Manitoba board Of
directors, two of the Canadian Pacific mil
lionaires were taken into the manage
ment, and it is the general opinion that
this means an accession of large amount
of capital to the Manitoba. While the
officials of the road were here one of them

EASTERN WOOL MARKETS.
A General Review of the Situation on
the Seaboard.

General Review of the Situation on
the seaboard.
BOSTON, May 16.-In "a view of the
seaboard wool markets." the American
Wool Reporter says: "It IS almost impos-
sible, in single wool report Of any one
of the larger markets, to give all the in
fuences that are at work, and much that
is of interest is omitted. The wool re-
ports as given in detail each week, have
shown since the new year falling off in
the sales and slight lowering of prices
as compared with boom prices of No
vember and December.
"While the demand for wool has de.
creased and prices lowered, it is some-
what out of the general run of things to
expect to see firm market at this period
of the year. Nevertheless, the wool mar
ket is firm today. The value and lasting
quality Of this strength is question that
naturally presents itself to the grower,
who may want to know what policy to
pursue-to consign or to sell-and if to
sell, when? o--t =-.--,.
1.-THE strength of the market today lies
mainly in the barren condition OF the wool
lofts and the small stocks manufacturers
have, combined with the feeling in the in
terror. Manufacturers were undoubtedly
better supplied in November than many
rave them credit for, and the boom fol-
lowing election was not so much from a
scramble after stocks by manufacturers
as from speculative movement on the
mart of dealers, some of whom are still

New YORK, May 22.-Henry Willard
was asked whether he would make a
statement for publication with reference
to the arrest of Richard Booklet for chal-
longing him to fight duel as reported.
Mr.. Willard said: "Yes; am willing to
do so, slough I regret very much the
necessity of it for the sake of the family
of the young man. Booklet is the son of
a prominent official at Berlin and grand
son OF the late Prof. Booklet, the celebrat-
ed philosopher and nephew of Professor
Rudolph Won Gneist, we'll known
rs one of the most distinguished
German jurists. Young Booklet came to
this country about two years ago with
letters of introduction from his relatives
to me- tried to be friend him in various
ways, but he showed an inclination to
crankiness and yagabond habits from the
first. He would not accept any settled
position offered him, but preferred to
rove about the country as a peddler., He
tried to become member of the Oneida
community and finally became associated
with socialists and anarchists. His father
occasionally sent me small amounts of
money, which were at once remitted to
him. He never had cent of credit with
me. On the contrary, advanced him
money several times to relieve him OF
distress. When received the challenge

markets, combined with the views of the
interior growers.

FINLEY CAUGHT.
AL SLOANE CAPTURES THE ALLEGED
MURDERER.
An Exciting Chase that Seems Like a
Dime Novel Adventure-How
Sloan Managed to Garry
Off Finley.

Considerable surprise was caused
among the sheriff and his officials when
word came yesterday that James Finley
had been arrested for murder. It appears
that acting on some intimation Sheriff
Downing received his deputy, j oe Hamil-
ton, proceeded to Sun River and there
met Finley and AL. Sloane. The latter
had tracked the alleged murderer for
some time.
The crime with which Finley is
chnrged was committed about a month
ago. Finley, two Indians and a s'tin-
horn" gambler were together on the Flat
head agency when quarrel arose, fol
lowed by fight. In the encounter it is
alleged that Finley killed an Indian
and fed. Major Roman promptly issued
circular to sheriffs and AL Sloane sci
out in quest of Finley. Sloane kpows
all about Indian habits. This aided him
in tracking Finley, whom he found in
the country north of Sun River. Sloane
who is q powerful man of determined
look, took steps to secure his prisoner
and accompanied him to town where he
was safely "jailed'' while Sloane spent
the evening in observing the fine streets
and the attractions at the Park theatre
The story of the pursuit and capture of
Finley reads like q romance.
At the Instance of Major Roman, Sloane
set out in quest Of Finley. He provided
himself with horses and hired some half
breeds to go with him. He crossed the
range and pushed forward to the Piegan
agency, enduring much hardship on the
way and incurring considerable expense
for the half-breeds knew that he needed
them and they became costly companions.
At length Sloane got a clue to the where
abouts of the fugitive. He kept on the
trail until the other day he found himself
near an Indian camp. On going nearer
he saw about 80 Indians assembled.
Among them was one whom his sharp
eyes saw was Finley, although he was
disguised in Indian clothes. Sloane re.
solved to lose no time. Accompanied by
two half-breeds, he dashed boldly into the
crowd and seized Finley. The Indians
were amazed and were about to defend
Finley when Sloane hustled him to a
horse, compelling him to mount and then
rode off. Sloane hired two more trusty
alf-breeds, placed them in charge of
Finley, and then set out for this city.
Resolving to keep clear of Indians he
made long circuit and came here by
way of St. Peters Mission. Here he in
formed Sheriff Downing of his success
and asked him to go back with him and
arrest Finley. The sheriff sent his effici-
emit deputy, Joe Hamilton, who returned
last evening with his prisoner
Laurent Finley is about 80 years old
and is stout enough to weigh ITO pounds.
He comes from Joco and is half breed
Of light complexion. 1t is alleged that
he was concerned in the murder of stwo
in June last year.
Sloane lives on the reservation and
owns band of horses.
A telegram announcing Finley's arrest
has been sent to Missoula.

The dedicatory ceremonies Of the new

notable event in the history of the city,
and was a E ost interesting occasion to
the large number of visitors present as
well as its own people. The weather
was delightful, and the program, which
began with march by the members
from the old hall to the new one, was
carried out as provided. A very large
number of the members joined in the
procession, which was led by the First
Regiment band. Upon entering the
new edifce the band struck up, Climb
ing the Golden Stairs" and to that
air the members entered the spacious
hall. to find that It's beaties oS shown by

with their stained glass effects, under

simple-prayer by the Rev. B. W. Child
law; address by Henry C. Urner on be-
half of the real estate managers on de
livering the keys to President Morrison;
response by President Morrison. Then
followed a peculiar and interesting
feature. 1t was the singing of an orig
inal hymn to the tune of ''Old Hundred. )"
The hymn was composed by Supt. Sid
ney d. Maxwell. The band played the
air, the entire audience arose, and the
old melody filled the spacious hall.

Early Balloon Accents.

The following, taken out Of an old
book, says a writer in The Leeds Mer-
curry, will give an idea how the early
balloons were inflated, and will show,
also, that Baldwins decent in a para
chute is an old invention: son Sept. 81,
1902, NJ. Garnerin filled his balloon with
hydrogen gas at ST. Georges Parade,
North Audley street. The gas was made
from diluted sulphuric acid, together
with quantity of iron filings, placed in
thirty three casks to generate, and by
communication with three larger casks
or receivers, and then by tubes to the
balloon. at o'clock the balloon rose
with its long appendage of the parachute,
the aeronaut in the little basket. Tens
of thousands Of spectators were fixed In
establishment and admiration at the gal
liant adventurer. For eight minutes the
balloon continued to ascend till it ar
rived at such an immense height as TO
be scarcely visible. When Garnerin cut
away from the balloon the parachute did
not expand Immediately. 1t fell with
great velocity for short space CT time,
when it opened, and the descent became
gradual, but attended with a remarkable
oscillation ike a pendulum Of clock.
These vibrations became less IS the
ground was neared The balloonist de-
scended in a field near the smallpox hos
pital at ST. Pancras without injury to
himself or the parachute.

SCHOOL EXAMINA ATOMS.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
The New York Herald, in discussing
the problem of how to improve our
schools, declares plumply that the an
nual examination is farce, giving as
its chief reasons that those most rever
end, grave and potent seignors who sit
over the pupils while the teacher is con-
Quoting his inQuisition embarrass and
brighten them, and thus cause their
knowledge and wits to forsake them.
We think the Herald is right in its
Judgment. Education on general
grounds is not matter of dress pa
rade A child's knowledge can not
be called out as per bill of fare
to order knowledge is most natur
ally and best called out by making a
child perfectly at ease and interesting it
through some topic of conversation
which will induce it to draw on its store
of facts. There is q parrot that is being
taken around the country on exhibition
which repeats the Declaration of indie
pendence with admirable expression, but
cannot be drawn out a cents worth on
Jefferson's sublime aphorisms, except
under the terroriZing presence of its
master.
We have doubtless had too much of
the parrot system of education in the
past. Mere knowledge is not the end of
education, but only the means to an end.
That end is mental growth and the en-
couragement of the love Of an indepen-
dent pursuit of knowledge for ones self
in later years. Better that child should
remain dull at school than that it should
acquire lasting dread of books. by rea-
son Of the forcing process and the over
awning presences at examinations.
