The Interesting Experience Of q Dakota
Sheep Owner.
The jamestown, N. d., correspondent of
the Minneapolis Journal writes as follows:
John Nichols, who recently arrived at
jamestown with 5000 head of sheep, which
he and his drivers brought through the
Bad Lands Of Dakota, kept a diary of each
days incidents of the trip. The journey
through the Bad Lands was crowded with
noteworthy events, and to the lover of nat
ural history was decidedly interesting. In
the Bad Lands nature seems to have left ev-
licences of some of her queerest creation.
This entire county between the Missouri
river and the Rocky mountains, from be-
You'd the Canadian line to Texas, is said,
by ~geoloRists, to have been the bed of some
ancient sea, that stood long after tho ole

appeared. In this sea and on the shores
were crowded the animal life of TINT pa

-Four Republican State Committeeman
Meet for This Purpose.
The call issued some time ago for a meet
ing of the republican state committee in
this city evidently was considered a matter
of very little Importance by the various
committeeman. But three of them were
present besides Chairman B. i. White, of
Dillon, and Secretary James b. Walker, of
this city. These were Joseph Davis, of
Lewis and Clarke; H. r. Rolfe, of Cascade,
and thomas A. Cummings, of Fort Benton.
Yhe business of the meeting was not likely
to arouse much enthusiasm as it consisted
of settling up the remaining accounts of
last YEARS. campaign. There is an indebt-
edness of about $500 in small a~ccounts.
The committee met in parlors lob and l05
of The Helena last evening to ciear this
matter up. Secretary Walker thought
there would be no difficulty in doing this.
The result of last years election was not
discussed to any extent. The early agrees
siyeness of the Montana democrats in the
coming campaign of education was referred
to, but no plans were made for the repub-
lican campaign.

Methodist Ecumenical Council.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-To-morrow the
ecumenical council of Methodists will be-
gin its sessions in this city. Once before
in the history of the church have the
branches s%pringlng off from the parent
stalk come together and. laying aside all
differences, listened to suggestions of the
best men of all divisions and
sought to find means to pro-
mote the common good. That
was in London ten years ago, and SO abund-
ant was the ensuing harvest of good works
that it was resolved to reassemble for JON
ference at the expiration of every decade.
The council which convenes tomorrow will
have 800 delegates, representing all
denominations and branches of the Metho-
dist church in all parts of the world. The
council, like its predecessor, will be con-
fined to discussions. From its nature there
can be no legislation.

TRIAL OF DR.. BRIGGS.
Set for November 4 by the Presbytery OF
New York. WV.

Set for November 4 by the Presbytery of
New York. y.
NEW York, Oct. 6.-The New York
presbytery resumed its work this morning.
After some routine work was disposed of
the Rev. A. Schilard, of the committee
appointed to answer DR.. Briggs protest of
May IL, arose and began to read his report.
DR.. Briggs interrupted him by asking in a
spirit of fair play that his protest first be
read, because many who were now present
had never heard it. 1t was read. In it DIR.
Briggs protested against the appointments
of a committee to prosecute him, for vari-
GUS reasons. among them that he was not
given sufficient time to answer the charges
against him and that advantage was taken
of his absence in Europe. Schiland then
read his report. 1t urges that no charges
had been presented when the protest was
made. and no thought of q protest was
necessarily maintained; 1t was u committee
of inquiry only, to consider the inaugural
ardrsss in its relation to the confession of
faith, which was the subject of general
criticism and widespread dissent, and
of whose apparent teaching a number
of p%resbyters had already entered
most emphatic protest and adverse judg-
ment. This the committee had to deal
with, not DR.. Briggs personally, but with
the contents of an address publicly and of
fcially made BY him. If this address mis-
represented or was misunderstood it was
surely of great concern to DIR. Briggs, but
he wrote to the committee that even if he
were in better health he would not attend.
DR.. Briggs certainly gave assent to the cor
rectness of the address as published, al
though no had protested, slt would seem
that your committee was appointed to con-
slider my inaugural address and not to con-
slider any explanation Of it I might desire
to make"
For this and other reasons the committee
had decided that the action of the prssby.
terry was entirely proper and according to
the usage of the denomination. DR.. Birch,
chairman of The prosecuting committee,
announced that he was about to serve DIR.
Briggs with q copy Of the indictment, and
by arrangement with accused the trial was
set for Wednesday, Nov. 4. TIL trial will
be public in all probability, although the
manner of conducting it is yet to be de-
cjded.
The following committee on revision of
the confession of faith was appointed to
report at the November meeting: Minis.
listers VanDyke, Spenning, Marllng, Kerr,
Rossiter, Forbes and Chaplin; Elders L. G.
Strong, M. w. Dodd and E. w. Dodge.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.

The New Congressional Library Will
Have Room for 1000, 900 Books.
Work on the new Congressional Library.
Building in Washington mas begun again.
Workmen began digging the excavations in
1886, the year in which the original law was
passed, but when the chief OF engineers took
charge in June, 1899, only about one-half of
the foundations had been laid. Since that
time no fault can be found with the progress
of the work. Before the close of the work
ing season of 1889 the foundations were COM
plete, and very fair start was made upon
the building proper. Last year was busy
one, and when the regular building oper-
ations closed in December, the entire base
ment story had been built, that being the
first story above the ground. The corner
stone of the building was laid August 2Sth,
without ceremony of any sort.
This will be- when completed, the largest
library building in the world. Its outside
dimensions are 463x332 feet The great
public reading-r0om in the rotunda will
have diameter of 100 feet. When the
structure is opened to the public in 1896 it
will contain shelving sufficient to stow away
100000 books. This is expected to accom-
modate all the books received at the library
for the next thirty years, the present rate
of increase being about $4,000 volumes
year. But when the million and a half
mark is reached there will still be room in
the building for 100000 more books, so
that if the structure lasts that'long it will
be century before another building to hold
the library's collection will be needed.-N.

A clever pair of embroidered velours

Don't dust your furniture with feather

stirring the egg around. Use cloth If it
is lightly oiled so much the better for the

Don't put furnishings with big designs in
a small room: it will make the room look
the smaller. Keep in the rule of proper
ton. It's like little woman with skinny
face wearing big football of hat which
only accentuates her sharp features the
more.
Don't be vague in your furnishings and
get this and that and the other thing because
each by itself is pretty, but take the object
OF a room first into consideration and live
up to it; then take one color as guide and
select all others in harmony with it.

Twelve Cases in Which They Have Re-

SIDNEY Ohio. April 14.-David III. Nc
Cormick, man who has worked in the
mines at Leadville. Colo, for twenty years,
is visiting relatives here. With him are
two large jack-rabbits. He is taking them
to his. home, Huntington, w. Va. to use
their eyes in an experiment to restore the
sight Of bis cousin, a young man pamed
George Handley, aged 81. who has been
totally blind for seventeen years. He lost
his sight by bursting gun-cap, but the
optic nerve Is believed to be intact. Unless
1t is the operation will surely be n failure.
but if not destroyed there is chance for
success. Mccormick says he knows of
twelve successful cases. The yonng rabbits
will not be used until September, as they
will then have their full growth. Their
eyes now are almost as large as the human
eye, and of a beautiful brown color. Hand
ley does not know of the proposed expert
ment, but as he cannot lose anything he
will doubtless try it. He will be taken to
Philadelphia, and after the experiment will
be confined In dark room several months
providing success seems probable. The cost
of the experiment will be $1,000 and Hand
ley's friends have raised the money for the
purpose.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

rounds of the hospitals, it. has been found
impossible TO restore any of the lost senses.

Tommy Singers case. and promptly set to
work to have him sept to Boston, so that
she might educate and train him. She PRO-
ceeded in a peculiar way.
1t appears that two years ago. while visit
ing liz PittsbuTg, Helen was presented by
Benjamin Wade with magnificent mastif.
The blind mute and the dog became much
attached, and Helen's heart well-nigh broke
when her companion recently met his death.
Mr. Wade, hearing of her loss, sent another
dog and $50 in CASH Just about this time
Helen heard of Tommy Stringer. She be-
came interested in the case, which was very
similar to her own. and at once de-.

Helen Keller, as is we'll known, is learning
to talk, and Is confident OF being able to
teach Tommy the same difficult feat There
