DEATH OF JAMES X. LOWELL
The Poet and Diplomat Peacefully Passes
to the beyond.

BosroN, Aug. %12.--James Russell
Lowell did at lilo o'clock this morning.
His death was caused by an affection
of the liver together with other ailments
incidental to his advanced age. At the
mansion of the Elmwood estate, where
Lowell died, there were no members OF
the family present today but a daughter
anil s~on-in-law of the poet. His body
lies in his own sleeping apartment,
where the last hours of his life were
spent. The nurse, who watched over
him during his illness, is still at the
house. He was present at his bed side
from the time when he became uncon-
scious Monday evening until he died
early this morning except for an absence
of a few minutes. His death was eX-
tremely painful. ,
Although it was known he could not
live much longer his death was never
theless rather unexpected. Late Mon
day afternoon after a few hours bright.
ness he began to wander again, aho
whatever be said after that time was
aimless. in a few hours he became un
conscious and rcgalned ms

to death waA 50 easy ina

There were present at his bedside wher

A MONTANA CATTLEMAN.
He Breaks a Couple of Ribs but Stays by
the Roundup Till "a shipment
Is Made,

Mr.. Nj. T.. Miner, the wcll-known north
Montana cattleman, came up from Malta
on Wednesday mornings train. Mr.. Mil
ner's visit to the city is partly due to
existing necessity of nursing "a couple of
fractured ribs produced by his horse
slipping and falling upon him. The gen
tleman has been in the saddle for weeks
on the roundup, but the fall knocked
him out. but he continued with the out
fit until he made a shipment of twenty
one cars containing $50 head of prime
beeves. He says the constant rains
have been prolific of accidents on the
round-ups this year owing to the very
slippery condition of the ground, and
quite a number of cowboys, one of whom
he claims to be. is laid up for repairs.
Speaking of cattle shipments reminds
the TRIBUNE scribe that Mr.. Miner is
the pioneer cattle shipper in Streets
stable cars in the northwest Some
years ago he became convinced that the
old style cattle cars were not only a bar
barous conveyance for cattle. but that
they entailed great loss to shippers by
reason of shrinkage in weight in beeves.
He was the first to order a train of sta
bic cars and was well repaid for the eX-
ira expense in the better condition of his
cattle at their arrival at the Chicago
market and the reader sale and better
price he received for them. Very few or
no beevcs are now shipped in other than
stable cars by Montana stockmen. Mr..
Miner will remain in the city several
days. He finds a host of friends who arc
pleased to meet him and see him looking
50 well, Notwithstanding his recent pain.

The building outlook in the city was
never better. The foundation proper Of
the new school house is in; the magniti-
cent architectural beauty of the Tod
building is beginning to show in the
second story and the brick partitions be
low are finished; the rich brown sand
stone of the First National bank and
Townsite building is showing high above
the ground and its massive steel and
iron work is the admiration of all be-
holders. On two sides the walls of the
Wilcox building are up, while a large
part of the frame work and flooring is
finished. Up stairs in the Cory block
the-calcimining and glazing have been
finished and the corner room below is
almost ready for occupancy. The opera
house excavating has long since been
finished and the walls of the foundation
are partly in. These are but the larger
buildings and take into no consideration
the numerous dwelling houses springlng
up all over the city.

Ricycle Club and Gymnasium.

The meeting last evening for the Or
ganization of a bicycle club and gymna-
stun. proved a success in every respect.
After a run to Black Eagle falls and re-
turn, about fifteen Of our twenty-five
wheelmen met in the directors room OF
the First National bank; organized and
appointed committees OF constitution,
gymnasium apparatus, membership and
then adjourned until $50 Friday even
ing. 1t was estimated that the running
expenses, including o rent, steam
heat, electric light, shower bath and re
pairs would run from $40 to 500 per
month and that the cost of apparatus
would approximate $500. This latter
amount to be met by entrance fees and
subscription, and the running expenses
by dues of say $3.50 per month. They
purpose giving musical and athletic en-.
tertainments during the winter and td
thus enable themselves to add music

athletic quarters in the near future
Such rooms will fill a long felt need as {
place for glee club rehearsals and meet
ings of similar organizations.

crowded house, discussing and lllustrat-
ing the issues of the next great cam

democratic club of sixty members was
organized. The officers elected are as
follows: President, S. NJ. Moore; vice
president, Carl Nelson; secretary, II. j..
Skinner; treasurer, Henry WEIGH. The
club will hold regular meetings and will
do a good part toward maintaining and

Recess lecture is spoken of as highly in
structive and interesting. The gentle
man will visit various portions of the
state in the interest Oh the good cause he
espouses, and will doubtless be cordially
received everywhere.
Sand Coulee can claim the distin-
guished honor of having organized the
first democratic club for the campaign of

Importance Of the coming contest for

ARTESIAN IRRIGATION.
A Geological Expert Interviewed-Gov-
m Survey of Montana.

A Geological Expert INSTRUMENTATION
eminent Survey of Montana.
Mr.. Robert Hay, a geological expert of
the department of agriculture, arrived
in the city Tuesday. His mission is to
make a survey of the country with a
view to recommending to the govern
ment the sinking of a~rtesian wells for irri-
cation purposes. The scope of country
over which the diminutive party of some
half a dozen have been experimenting
for several years past is a large one, ex-
tending practically from the east line of
the Dakotas to the Rocky mountain foot
hills and from the Canadas to Mexico,
New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado,
have already been covered and Mr..
Hay has just left North Dakota.
In South Dakota experiments have
proven very beneficial. One we'll was
sunk there, where there CHANGED to be
little rain this year and the bene-
fits of irrigation were thus made
very manifest. Wells in these two states
had to be sunk to a considerable depth,
running from n near Iankton of 400
feet to a l,5OO foot shaft in North Da-
kota.
MI. Hays peculiar duty is to examine
the stratification of a neighborhood and
see if artesian wells are a possibility.
After him follows Col. Nettleton, the
chief engineer, who decides whether ir-
rigation from these same wells would be
practicable. denominations from which
an accurate judgment could be formed
have been made as yet in Montana. To
day the gentleman goes to the falls
and after that some idea may be ar
rived at.
The ~geologist, on acquaintance, proved
to be a quantity, agreeable, scientific
gentleman. He strolled about the city
with Il TRIBUNE reporter commenting
admiringly on all he saw.
He paused as he passed the First Ma.
tional Bank and Townsite building, and
pronounced its stone the finest Of build.
ing material, fully equal to any Of Colo.
RADIOS famous stone. He leaves for the
east the latter part of the week, but eX-
poets to return again.

INVESTIGATING The AFFAIRS.
stockholders of the HarrIsonburg Com.
panv Looking Into the Books.

An adjourned meeting Of stockholders of
| the Richmond and Harrisonburg Land
Company was held yesterday afternoon in
the rooms of the Richmond Bar Associa-
tion, over the Merchants National Bank.
The committee appointed at the former
meeting tOlnquire into the state of affairs
submitted its report. This was not in such
| shape as was desired and action upon it
was postponed. Three evenings we're
spent in the examination of the books of
the company before this was prepared aud
every facility extended them.
IL was decided TO continue the commit
tee and give them authority to employ
counsel and take such other steps as are
necessary TO protect the interests of the
stockholders. Major q. S. Stringfellow
and Mr.. +. II. Mcclure have been retained
for this purpose.
1t was intimated that the originators Of
the company had not put in their share of
money when President Pelouze, who was
in the room, stated that the promoters
had put in 81 600 each, whereas it was
claimed that those holding like position
IN a similar organization had only con-
tribute6 IS each.
Continuing, MIR. PelouZe said that one of
the promoters of the company had failed
TO take his stock, and that if any of those
present wanted 1t they could have it at the
original price. If there was not enough
20 60 around they could have his also at
promoters terms.
In conversation with DISPATCH reporter,
Mr. Pelouze claimed that the,company was
as substantial as any in existence and
owned good real estate. The disahection,
he insisted, only existed among few OF
the stockholders who were disappointed
because they did not speedily realize large
profits on their investments.

The NIornrt Muslcale.

The summer weather last night depleted
the audience Mt the Mozart musicale very
percephbly, but those who attended were
well repaid for their efforts, the musicale
being one of the most interesting of the
season.
Miss Kunkel, the Philadelphia soprano,
has a large, round, full voice and sings
with excellent expression and fine artistic
feeling. Her selections were tritle
heavy for the taste of the audience, and
for that reason her reception was not as
enthusiastic as il would have been had she
sung ballads instead of German songs.
Her excellent stage presence and her
splendid voice made fine impression, and
il is TO be hoped she may appear again:
Miss Prince rendered some piano-torte
selections very acceptably, but seemed to
be suffering from nervousness.
Mr.. Auty has very fine voice, a pure
tenor in quality, and sings with exquisite
taste. He is one of the hnest tenors ever
appearing at the Mozart milsieales.
Mr.. Rakemann, the violinist, has fine
technique, and played his difficult selec-
tions admirably. Mr.. Marshall played the
accompaniments very acceptably.
