Farmers Contemplate Going Into Lines

TOPEKA, Kan, March "A new alliance
movement contemplates the formation of q
huge grain and live stock trust, including
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa.
Frank McGrath, president of the Farmers'
alliance, says the project is one of the re-
suits of the failure of alliance legislatures
to pass certain bill. Legislation, he saw. ia
too slow for the achievement of alliance
objects. McGrath says district alliPncas are
being formed in every congressional district
and provisions are being made for building
cold storage and grain depots. The
district alliances will be made up of
sub-alliances, and in this way constant
communication from individual members
OF theGlllance will be had. mo individual
member will sell his grain to option men.

ls obliged to sell his grain will be taken bv
the alliance. The same thing viii! follow
with cattle. We will have agents IN Kansas
city, chicago and st. Louis, who will keep
district alliances posted as to the market
demand and upon this information
the demand will be supplied, and no

wheat will be on the market and there will
be no speculating in grain before harvest.
-Four states in this trust will practically
control the wheat and cattle markets of the
United States. The hardest thing we have
have to deal with is fixing prices. We
mean to ascertain the exact cost of pro
duct and add reasonable profit to it. Ihe
new scheme is modelled in detail after the

BozEMAN, March 3.--[Special. The
opening Of the new hotel Bozeman was a
grand affair. Fully 1000 guests were
present. Livingston sent a delegation of
about 80 people by the morning train, and
they were shown over the city during the
day. Several Prominent citizens of Butte
were present: also citizens from Helena.
The train service from tho west prohibited
a crowd coming from that direction, but
the number from the east was under es-
timated. The visitors all expressed them
selves as delighted with the hotel and ita
service. Music filled the halls, and as soon
as the immense throng could be accom-
modated ut the tables dancing was COM
menced, to be continued until early morn
ing. At nine o'clock the Bozeman band
took the place of the regular orchestra
for an hour or more. The dinner provided
by the hotel was something beyoud
that usually found at a Montana hostelry
and was pronounced by old hotel men to be
as fine as anything ever gotten up in the
state. The hotel is provided with English
porters, ,colored waters, French cooks and all
the accessories of n first class modern ho-
tel. 1t is impossible to say how many par
took OF dinner, but meals were served until
~ O'Clock. BY this time if seemed as if the
whole town was present to partake of the
festivities and to celebrate the oreninR of q
motel needed for SO many years.

moved that henceforth the naval budget
must slate the total number of war ships

Harcourt said this was similar to the note
of alarm which naval experts issue to in
duce the nation to believe tho naval and
military expenditures enormous as they are,
would be inadequate in the event of war.

INQUIsITIvE WOMEN,

Two of Them Will Journey Alone Into
Darkest Africa.
LONDON, March 2.-Mrs. French Sheldon
has left London en- route to Africa. She
took with her very little except her cloth
ing, and as little of that as possible. This
includes pair of boots reaching above the
knees, any quantity of India silks of the
finest texture, few light Jaeger dresses
and just enough to get on with scarcely any
washing and yet have plenty. She takes an
English tent and a peculiarly constructed
and very light chair. in which she and her
single companion, a former Cunard stew
ardess. can even sleep at night. This will
be borne by twelve carriers, in relays of
four.
Mrs. Sheldon disclaims all mannish in
tent and garments, and is going in a
woman]y way to find out what she desires
before the opening of road across Africa
and the result of the Stanley explorations
shall destroy the native habits of the peo-
pie. She will en- ploy about fifty people,
natives, to be secured at Zanzibar,
choosing those who have proven
trustworthy under Stanley's lead, and
have become gentle and easy to
deal with by his example and influence.
She and her attendant will be the only
white persons in the expedition. Mrs.
Sheldon has no missionary or commercial
motives beyond her individual impulse.
She has travelled much and has been in
North Africa. She carries two beautiful
revolvers and a machine belt. She will do
some astronomical work, and has had some
from Mrs. Richard A. Proctor.
Her explorations will be published, and she
will 90 where no white woman has ever vet
gone. In a word, Mrs. Sheldon designs ap-
parently to do her African travelling in IA
and civilized a fashion as she can,
without the eccentric character which
usually accompanies this sort of fad. Mr..
Mr.. Ward and others have given
her some valuable hints. Despite innum-
erable applications, she will have no white
man with her.

Sterling :
S[LYBRNA ARE

Sterling Silverware is synony-
NOUS with elegance. Wherever
you find ono you usually find the
other. It is sought after more and
moro as tho world grows older.
The silversnaiths of to-day produce
handsoner things than were ever
thought OF twenty-five years ago,
and for much less money. Ma.
chinery and improved methods
have wrought the change. Once
the silversmith was an artist in
the highest sense of the word.
Now the artist knows nothing Of
the hammer or blowpipe. He sim
ply designs his work and turns it
over to the virtual silversmith, a
mere workman, and a thousand
duplicate patterns are made for the
delight of as many uses, at a price
never possible under the old re-.
gime.
