A BEAR STORY.
How -Four Silver Tips Were Received at
John chapman's Ranch.
billings GaEette.l

Billings Gazette.
While John Chapman was in here
from his Wyoming ranch this week he
told OF thrilling experience his wife
had recently with four silver tip bear,
a she bear and three cubs. John was
away from home at the time the four
bears made their debut, but he inter-
early supper Mrs. Chapman stepped
out OF the kitchen door intending to
place a pan of milk in an clubhouse.
She had just closed the door of the
kitchen, when looking up she was con-
fronted by four bear, all up on their
launches and within a few feet OF her.
She screamed and rushed into the
house and told the hired man the
cause of her fright and assisted in find
ing the cartridges for a rifle that stood
handy and then sank into a chair ex-
hausted and helpless, while tine hired
man made an onslaught on the bear,
killing the old one and two of the cubs.
When Mr.. Chapman arrived he found
his vile IN an alarming condition, her
nerves being at such tension that he
feared she would 60 into Mysteries.
That night she complained of hearing
q bear screaming outside, and finally
to please her John got up, and taking
his gun went to the door, where sure
enough was the remaining bear stand
ing out in the cold and whining and
screaming for his dam. The cub lit
out for the brush when he heard John
coming, but in the morning dogs we're
turned loose on the trail and young
bruin was gathered in to complete the
family. The cubs werefully halfgrown
silver tips and averagtd $50 pounds
each, the she bear was a big one, as
large as a COW. There are many bear
in that locality, but they have never
before been quite so familiar. Mr..
Chapman will send the skins down to
Taxidermist Soule for tanning and
convert them into robes.

Asbestos Mines.

Asbestos is now one of the very use
full minerals in the improved arts of
the civilized nations. A fine, fibrous
silky variety, which is mixed with
flax and woven into cloth, is now used
for a great variety of purposes. When
woven with flax the linen is burned
out, leaving a silky, incombustible
cloth, which is used for great variety
of purposes. The ancients wrapped
dead bodies in this cloth when they
were committed to- the funeral pile to
save the ashes uncontaminated for
the urn. 1t is also used by actresses
for underclothing as a safety from
foot lights, and also for st age curtains.
When soiled it is cleansed in the fire
made of it for important documents
and records.
Two extensive deposits OF this use-
full mineral are now known in Mon
tana. There is one about forty-fve
miles from Bozeman i'll a dyke of SER
pentine on Meadow creek. The vein
is some thirty feet wide. The variety
known as wood asbestos is most
abundant in this locality. There is
another locality about four miles from
Henry lake in Madison county. The
deposit is said to be very extensive
and of the best quality. The speci-
mems we have from this locality could
be easily made into beautiful cloth
and paper. 1t belongs to the variety
known as amianthus, and is of the
best quality.-Mining Review.

Columbia Rules the Blue.

Up from the broad, white-breasted sea
A voice comes loud and clear;
Through foamy lips it speaks to hearts
That never knew a fear;
And this the burden of the strain,
Inspiring, deep and true:
Columbia s gallant sailor lads,
They sweep the ocean blue!'
Her steel-clad sentries DER the deep
Belch out in tongues OF flame;
From cape to cape their thunders leap
And loud defend their fame.
No alIen insult may be borne,
When hearts are stout and true;
In piping peace or battle time,
She still shall rule the blue"
Each brave blueiacket's heart beats high,
When from the peak unfurled,
The Starry Flag tlles to the breeze,
A challenge to the world!
Like lightning flashing from the rift,
Our guns sweep straight and true;
Their fiery hail our foes assaiI
And crimson dyes the blue.
A hundred years of battle storms
They've faced, nor ever quailed;
Aloft, triumphant, floats their flag,
Ger all the seas they've sailed.
With Perry, Porter, Farragut-
A band of heroes true
Mid roaring guns and squadrons' rush,
They've ruled the ocean blue.
From Newfoundland to Mexico
That ensign proudly flies;
From Flattery's Cape to Guadalupe.
1t counts our victories.
On stranger coast aud distant beach,
Full many a ship and crew
Have sunk to rest on oceans breast.
But still we rule the blue,
Up! up! Ye gallant tars, arousel
Your dogs of war awake
The Squadron White clears for the fight
When honor is at stake.
That voice of steel the foe shall feel,
For fear we never knew;
Come veal or woe. the world shall know,
Columbia rules the blue.

BYNUM OUT FOR MILLS.
The Indiana Congressman wirhdraws from
the speaksrship Contest.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Congress-
man Bynum OF Indiana has come out
in card withdrawing from the speak
ership race. In his card Bynum says:
81 never pressed my candidacy and
only consented to the use of my name
until it became evident that the con-
test was narrowed down between Mills
and Crisp. 1 shall heartily support
Mills. While many candidates are
strong tariff reformers, none so prom
iaently represent the position of our
party on this question as Mills. He
Is known to the people as a prominent
figure in the house on this question,
and his defeat would in a great meas
ure be accepted as the abandonment
OF the issue. The tariff Is the issue
upon which We must win in 1892, and
there should be no semblance of wav-
ering or halting at this critical period.
Unless the party stands firmly and
oppressively In favor of this issue the
farmers of the northwest, who gave US
such sweeping victories in 1890, will
become discouraged, and may aban-
don hope OF success through the organ
ization OF our party"

How to Drink Milk.

Some complain, says a contempo-
rary, that they cannot drink milk
without being distressed by it." The
most common reason why milk is not
well borne is due to the fact that
people drink it too quickly. If glass
OF it is swallowed hastily, it enters the
stomach and then forms in one solid,
curdled mass, difficult of digestion.
If, on the other hand, the same guam
tity is slipped, and three minutes at
least are occupied in drinking it, then
on reaching the stomach it is SO di-
vided that when coagulated, as it
must be by the gastric juice, while di-
gestion is going on, instead of being in
one hard, condensed mass upon the
outside of which only the digestive
fluids can act, it is more in the form
of sponge, and in and out of the en-
tire bulk the gastric juice can play
freely and perform it's functions

PLANS SELECTED.
Montana's Building at the Worlds Fair.
Helena Herald.1

Helena Herald.1
The committee selected by the state
commissioners of the Worlds Fair
to decide upon plans for the Montana
building at the exhibit met in Butte
the 21st inst. The committee is COM
who is chairman, Phillip Lowell, of
Dillon, DIR. Pease, OF Twin Bridges, DIR.
A. H. Mitchell, OF Deer Lodge, and q.
NJ. Hayes, of Billings. Eight plans
were originally submitted, but at Butte
the choice narrowed down to two, and
the plans presented by Galbraith &
Fuller, OF Missoula, were finally
adopted. Thesegentlemen secured the
first prize and Omeyer & Thori, of St.
Paul, the second. The vote stood
four to one for the Montana archl-
tects.
The committee also decided to have
President DeWolfe go to Chicago on
December 9th for the purpose OF meet
ing and consulting with the board on
affairs pertaining to Montana's build
ing. This the committee considered
necessary, and, accompanied by Mr..
Galbraith, who will submit his plans
to Chief Architect Barnum for ap-
proval, Mr.. DeWolfe will make the
trip. After the plans are approved
Mr.. Galbraith will advertise for bids
for the construction of the building,
and at the next meeting of the board,
which will be held in Butte on the first
Monday in February, the contract
will be awarded.
The plans, as accepted by the COM
mittee, are very handsome, the design
for the building being of the classic
style of architecture, and when the
building is erected it will undoubted-
ly be a credit to the state. The esti-
mated cost OF the structure is about
SIS, 900.

ting OF more than fifty per cent OF the
timber of each class growing on any
acre. Monthly statements under oath
are required giving the descriptions OF
the tract from which the timber is
cut, the amount cut, and how disposed
of. No trees shall becut and removed
less than the specified number OF
inches in diameter, except for needed
roadways through the timber. A per-
son cutting timber is required to cut,

MODERN INVENTIONS.


Among the recent inventions is a
calendar that will register for the next
200 years, besides telling any date
figure within that period.
Papier mache oil cans, which are
now being made, are very durable and
Impervious to any spirit or oil likely
to be used in a machine room.
White tar is OF of the latest inven-
tions or discoveries. 1t will not be-
come soft under the suns rays in any
climate, and is expected to be lar gely
yachts.
A Frenchman hasinvented process
for obtaining chlorate of potash by
electricity, the feature about it being
that the by-products are OF sufficient
value to pay for the whole cost OF
working.
Very satisfactory results are now
being obtained by some at the English
paper manufacturers in bleaching
paper by electricity, the process rem
dering the paper perfectly white with
out in the least injuring its strength.
A late invention, the cushion car
wheel, is described as being thick
rubber band placed between the tire
and center OF the wheel, and which
acts as a cushion, absorbing all vibra-
tions. The rubber is so attached as
to make any danger from hot box
or from corrosive action an impossi-
bility.
One OF the latest electrical novelties
consists of the usual alarm clock with
an electric attachment, which includes
in circuit one OF the rollers at the bot
tom of the legs OF the bed. When the
hour arrives at which the sleeper has
set the alarm his weight closes the cir
cult and the bell rings until the sleeper
gets off the bed. A spring adjustable
to the weight OF the person is used.

He Hunts with Cats.

Charles Walcott, a well-known busi-
ness man of Indianapolis and splendid
rifle shot, has two cats which retrieve
small game better than the best
trained dog. One is a tiger striped,
half Maltese cat, and the other is a
cat of black, white and gray. Mr..
Walcott also has a thoroughly trained
retriever and the cats and dog are in
separable companions.
Whenever Mr.. Walcott makes his
appearance with his rifle the cats set
up series of yowls and when the rifle
is sighted, for instance at sparrow,
the cats will crouch In eager expecta-
ton, lashing their sides with their
tails and carefully watching every
movement of the fated bird. Ii the
bird lodges among the branches in its
tall like flash the cats spring up a
tree and they will take great risks in
reaching the limbs to which it clings.
Mr. Walcott is very tond OF house
hold pets. The first-named cat came
to him a stranger, and by that name
she is known. The mother cat was
accidently taught to retrieve. While
Mr. Walcott was in feeble health and
confined to his premises he amused
himself by shooting sparrows, which
were given to Stranger to eat. In this
way she came to follow him whenever
she saw the gun. She will follow a
wounded bird from tree to tree and
from house to house, sometimes for
blocks away, and she seldom fails in
retrieving.
The other cat is one of her progeny
and he caught the retrieving contagion
from her. Both are excellent hunters.
Mr.. Walcott is firmly of the belief that
if cats are properly trained they will
make better retrievers than the finest
dogs.-Exchange
