A Storm Blows the Roof Or and Levels
tho Fence.
DEER LODGE. May N.-[Special. THE
strongest wind storm within the reoollec-
tion of the Oldest inhabitant has prevailed
here the whole day. The barometer early
this morning indicated rain, but instead
wind storm came up. IT was SO strong
that it was difficult to walk on the streets
and very few were seen there. At one time
an alarm of fire was given, but it turned
out to have been false, but had it been true
it would have been disastrous. Business
signs were blown away and other small
damage done throughout the town.
The greatest damage was at the peniten-
tiary. All the fence on the west side and
half the fence on the east side was blown
down and the remainder of the fence SO
badly injured that it will be Of no use.
The tailor shop at the west side of the in
closure had its roof torn away, the sky
lights in the main building were broken
out, the tin roof OF the main or center
building was blown away and altogether
the damage to the penitentiary buildings
and property is estimated to be about
$1,000. At the time the storm first came
about fifty prisoners were exercising in the
yard. All at once the wind came and the
fence blew down. The alarm was given
and all the guards flew to the yard to pre-
vent the escape of the prisoners and drive
them into their cells.
One prisoner, Allen Lewis, colored, SON.
fenced from Lewis and Clarke county for
three years for burglary, died to-day at the
penitentiary of consumption. He will be
buried tomorrow.
Stock Inspector j. Conley arrived to-day
with Jesse Bingham, whom he arrested at
Bear Paw mountain for stealing cattle in
Nebraska.

Bosros. May N.-The sixtieth annual
meeting of the American Unitarian asso-
citation began to-day. The nominating
committee was instructed last year to
formulate and adopt method for the cleo
tion Of directors, the report recommending
as provisional for this year the adoption of
the method used in the election of Harvard
overseers, with certain notifications. In
regard to women ON the board the report
says that while it is fitting that men have
the practical management it is equally fit
women participate therein. and recon-
mends that in every annual election the
name OF one woman be placed in the list of
nominees. This would secure the presence
of three women directors on the board at
present. The report was not adopted.
The report Of the directors states that the
record Of the year is satisfactory. Men
and money are in demand, however. The
report speaks especially hopefully of work
in Japan.

cent Pam American Conference
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The president to-
day transmitted to congress a letter from
the secretary of state endorsing the report
of the international American conference
on the international American bank scheme.
In the letter the president says it is not the
purpose to involve the United States in any
financial responsibility, but only to give to
the proposed bank a corporate franchise
and promote public confidence by requir-
ing that its condition and transactions be
submitted to scrutiny similar to that exer-
cised over our domestic banking system.
The subject is submitted for the considera-
tion of congress in the belief that it will be
found possible to promote the end desired
by legislation, SO guide d as to avoid all Just
criticism.
In the letter to the president Secretary
Blaine sets forth the advantages to be de-
rived from such project, and says in part
"The merchants of this country are as de-
pendent upon the bankers of Europe in their
financial transactions with their American
neighbOrs as they are upon the shipowners
of Great Britain for transportation facili-
ties, and will continue to labor under those

Outside Of the sugar schedule the tariff bill
increased duties to an average of 58 per
cent, and the pending measure would raise
the average to between GO and 20 per cent.
This would result in preventing imports,
destruction of commerce. Mckinley said
the measure was substantially the bill

tically the same IA the Mills bill 1t was bill
not to increase the rates of duty but to pre-
vent frauds upon revenue. The conference

seems to be rather applicable to our
Texas blue grass just now-one hears
far more about it, and to its praise, in

THE GAZETTE. A LADY.
Waco Tex.
Most persons will recognize the insect
by the common Game given, for it goes
by that name almost everywhere. 1t is
an insect of wide range, being found, we
believe, in every state in the Union,
scientific name, mantis carolina.
The mantis is all insect of either
greenish or brownish color, measuring,
when fully grown, from two TO two and
q half inches in length. The main part
of the body is near as large as q
man 9 little finger, though it has q long,
slim neck, upon which sits queer little
wedge shaped head, which it can turn
about at will to look at you. 1t stands
well up on four long legs, and holds
lifted in front of its head a pair of heavy
arms, bent up at the elbows, as it were,
m owes slowly, with kind of hitcning
motion; is provided with a pair of wings,
which enable it TO fly, though it does not
often use them.
The mantis is one of the most harmless
and most useful insects We have. 1t
never bit or injured anyone in any way :,
and it lives exclusively on other insects,
most of which are of an injurious char
acter. Flies are its very delight. 1t
catches fly between its lifted arms and
holds it up to its head until it is vorac-
iously devoured, reminding one some
what of squirrel gnawiug nut.
How the mantis got such bad reputa-
ton is more than l can tell, for 1t GER
tanly deserves nothing of the kind.
Peoples fear of it seems to be quite gen =
eral, however.
