BoxEaxAN, May g. Especial. The Butte
and Bozeman celebration was one Of the
greatest days Bozeman has ever seen. The
weather was Ane and the verdure 20 fal
advanced as to make beautiful picture
for the citizens Of the mining town. A
delegation from the board Of trade went to
Logan and met the Butte party, which 90
cupiod nine coaches and was composed of
fully zoo people. The excursionists were
provided with music by the Alice band and
in charge Of Jimmy McCaig. The party
were united in praising tho road bed of the
new road and the grand scenery en- route.
Arriving at Bozeman they were welcomed
by the local band, the firing OF cannons,
and speech from General Wilson, of the
board of trade, responded to most happily
by Frank Cobett. The farmers who had
come from near and far, together with the
! townspeople, then took the excursionists
for ride around the city, first taking
them to the hill east of town where the
whole valley in all its loveliness could be
seen. The visitors were then taken to the
city hall where dinner was spread
for them. After this they visited various
parts of the city, the bands in
the meanwhile furnishing music for the
immense crowds on tho streets. At
O'Clock those who wished to ride were con-
veyed to the depot, while those who pre-
ferred to walk followed the Bozeman band
on foot. singing Marching Through
Georgia." At the depot several more
speeches were made by Mr.. Dolman, Mr..
Bray. Mr.. Hennessey and others Of Butte.
Then. with three cheers for Bozeman, re-
sponded to by three for Butte. the merry
party pulled out for home, declaring that
they had enjoyed their visit immensely.
Every store on Main street was decorated
with bunting and flags and the appearance
OF the town suggested grand and glo-
rious Fourth of July. Bozeman people re-
gard this as the greatest day in the history
of the town.

Took = Shot at Them.

BOWMAN, May 26.-[special.]-It il
thought that Martin Hooker. who came
near killing Sheriff Robertson and Night
Watchrnan Robinson Saturday night, will
be made the subject of special grand
jury, as the regular jury has been discharg-
ed. Besides being in contempt to the
court who ordered him to release the prop
erty he will be tried for wilfully attempting
to kill peace officer. Hooker was ordered
out of the building, upon which he believed
he had claim, and on Saturday night took
possession of the basement, which had not
been dismantled. The officers were at once
summoned and an attempt made to take
the infuriated man, when he shot and
came within two inches of killing both Off
GERS. A friend of Hocker's then went in
side of the dark room and persuaded him
to submit, an act he loudly regretted as
soon as he was disarmed. In the mean
while. and directly after Hooker had fred
the shot Sheriff Robertson returned the fire
in the dark and from the bullet hole in the
bed it is evident that he came near hitting
his man. Hooker made trouble once be-
fore by burning the books probate Judge
directed him to bring into court.

The Giddy Ohio Girl.

cannot resist telling you, apropos Of
Urbana people, a story that for years has
gone the rounds in Washington of an Ohio
girl who is not a native of Urbana, al
though she has frequently visited there
She spent one winter in Washington dur
Ing the Hayes administration. She was
bright, clever and fascinating, and she ap-
peared night after night in a succession of
toilets so decollete as greatly to shock
the priln dowagers and prudent mammas
of society. During her stay at the capital
q few sporadic cases of smallpox made
their appearance. The pretty Ohio girl
was frightened. Meeting the late DR.. Gar
nett at an evening reception, where the
Bcantiness of her attire was unusually no
ticeable, she said with the faintest ap-

''Oh, doctor, am coming to your office
to be vaccinated tomorrow" looking down

Advantages OF Voice Culture.

Study Of the voice embraces study of the
bnt1re human system. In order TO have
musical voice there must be physical
strength; hence cultivation OF the body is
of primary consideration to the vocal stu
dent.
The organs of sound are the lungs and
the vocal chords. Correct standing posi-
ton Is, therefore, the first thing the wise
instructor will teach his pupil. If the chest
IS held erect the other organs Of the body
are brought into correct position and the
lungs are enabled to do their proper work.
Upon the control of the breath depends the
quality of the voice; hence exercises which
strengthen the dinphragmatic muscles are
Of the greatest value to one desiring mu-
steal tone. To know how to breathe cor
Sectly Is to know, after ell, the secret Of
perfect health. Singers and orators Illus
trate constantly the value Of this knowl-
edge, As a rule, people do not breathe
deeply enough, the lungs never get filed
with air, and as air is their only means Of
publication they become, when deprived Of
it, diseased.
It is claimed by wise physicians that
there Is no disease in the vocabulary of hui
man ills which cannot be cured by nat
ursl process of respiratory exercises.
Hence it happens that people take up voice
work oftentimes simply as g means Of
gaining health and strength. In dia-
phragmatic gymnastics breathing exer-
rises are followed by tone producing exer-
discs, in which the diaphragm on the one
side, the abdominal muscles on the other,
come together like the lips of a wise, slim
ulating the stomach, liver and whole ali
mentary canal If the voice is improperly
used natures laws are defied and number
less diseases ensue Various bronchial and
catarrhal troubles can be directly traced to
wrong vocal practice. From the physio-
logical standpoint alone the knowledge of
the voice is indispensable to every one de-
string perfect health.-Jenness-M Miller Mag

second in the five mile race on the Olympic
club gymnasium track, the winner, GiInnly,

year he won the mile handicap run at the
university games in Am. 55s.; and on May

In June following he won mile run at
the Golden Gate Athletic club games,

time. he won the half mile and mile cham
pionship runs, IN 2m. As. and ON. 5-os
respectively. For this the Olympic club
presented him with q handsome special
medal. In April, 1885, Scott won the mile
run at the university games IN Am. SIS,
and on April 20 he captured three mile
run on the Olympic club gymnasium track
In I'm 53 ass, establishing the coast rec
ord for that distance. In November fol-
lowing, for the fourth time, he won the
half mile championship race in 2n- 4-os-,
after about ten days training. Since that
time he has not competed, his duties as
leader and captain of the Olympic Athletic
club, both of which positions he has held,
having taken up all his spare time. He Is
also president of the Pacific Coast Anna
teur Athletic association, which Office he
has held for several years. The success of
athletics on the slope is largely due to the
untiring efforts Of W. A. Scott. He stands
6 feet in height, and tn condition weighs
100 pounds He is a member Of the Olym-

ya,ue of Ammonia In Baking.

The carbonate Of ammonia is anexceed-
ingly volatile substance. Place a small
portion of it upon knife and hold over
flame and it will almost immediately be
entirely developed into gas and pass of
into the air. The gas thus formed is a
simple composition of nitrogen and hydro
gen. No residue is left from the ammonia.
This gives it its superiority as leavening
power over soda and cream of tartar used
alone, and has induced its use as a supple
ment to these articles. A small quantity
of ammonia in the dough is effective IN
producing bread that will be lighter,
sweeter and more wholesome than that
risen by any other feavening agent. When
it is acted upon by the heat OF baking the
havening gas that raises the dough Is lib
Grated. In this act it uses itself up, as 1t
vere-the ammonia is entirely dihused,
leaving no trace or residuum whatever.

s.rable in biscuits, etc, and SO sought after
by professional cooks, is said to be I'M

Unarmed, unprepaTed, taken by surprise,

stained the clear, bright sea with blood for
many yards round.
Seldom has any crime been more swiftly

more than 500 years. And then, a. final
monument of Sbeikh Yokdah's unsparfng
vengeance for his lost darling, Der rufhanly
! destroyer, DON Jose de Saera, was subjected
to all the frighttul and lingering tertures
that Oriental cruelty could devise, and
when death at last came TO his relief his
corpse was hacked 20 pieces, and his CORY
head placed in triumph on the topmost

Uranus.

TRAINS vas- discovered by Sir William
Herschel in 1Ts1. The other planets then
known had been observed ever since men
BEGAN studying the stars. Herschel,
e1veeninp the heavens with his reflector,
came mon an object that he knew was not
a fixed star. In day or two it had moved,
and he ANNOUNCED the discovery Of a comet,
for no one dreamed Of the existence of an
other planet. 1t was nearly year before
its claim to be a planet was fully estab-
lished.
The excitement caused by the unlocked
for event WINS very great, and honor and
fame were HeFschsFs reward. King
George III knighted the diseoverer, en-
dowed him with a pension and provided
him with means for constructing the
forty foot reflector with which he after
ward discovered the Two inner satellites of
Saturn. 1t was found by reckoning back
that several other astronomers had made
observations on the star, but had not dis
covered it's true character
Little is known of Uranus, the smallest
of the four giant members Of the system,
making its slow circuit round the sun in
| eighty-four years, at a mean distance OF
eighteen hundred millions of miles. There
are indications in its spectrum OF a dense
atmosphere, its disc is hattened at the
poles and faint bands or belts are visible
| on its surface.
| The satellites of Uranus are an unsolved
problem. Herschel discovered two satel-
lites in 1857, and announced the discovery
of four more in 1873. No other observer
has ever seen them, although the younger
Herschel made diligent search for them
with telescope similar to the one used by
his father. Lassell looked for the four
lost moons invain, but in 1851 he found
two additional satellites, that probably are
not of the quartet seen by Herschel, as
they are among the smallest objects re
vealed by the telescope.-Youth's Com
