And the Boys Let Him Hold the bag for
Antelope.

And the Boys Let Him Hold the bag for
Antelope.
A canvasser for a Helena loan and
building association paid a visit to Glen
dine last week. He fell in with the boys
and they showed hin all there was to the
town. Then they determined to show him
how to hunt antelope. He was willing to
learn, never having hunted antelope in a
wild state before. The boys and their
guest left about dark and vert a mile or 80
up the ooulee. 1t was a dark niaht-just
such q ono as to make antelope hunting
both exciting and profitable. Once on the
ground the arrangements were soon made.
The solicitor was given a red lantern and
q bag, Now hold the BAG, oren and swing
the lantern" said the leader, and we'll 90
up the coulee and chase the autelopes in.''
The solicitor obeyed instructions and the
party left wi9h the exception of Editor Joe
Widmyer, who staid behind TO write up
the CAPTURE Of the antelopes. For
hours the solicitor stood holding, the
mouth of the sack open with one hand and
swinging the red lantern with the other.
No antelopes came. His arms were aching.
but no WAS determined to be a thorough
bred hunter and chung to hope. He got
hungry, too. but even his appetite could
not conquer his desire to capture a live an
telope.
"Tired?' asked Widmyer.
mo, not very" replied the solicitor, as
he took a fresh grip on the bag.
well, | guess Ill just 60 up the gulch a
piece and see if there are amy bears
around" said Widmyer. "If anv wolves
or n herd of buffalo come while Pm gone,
just hoiler.'
"All right"
Left to himself, the solicitor changed
hands on the bag and the lantern several
times to relieve the strain on his muscles.
He was getting very tired. His muscles be-
gun to feel like skewers had been run
through them and heavy weights attached.
Nobody came in sight but II young man in
Il tall hat and carrying Il gun.
He said he was cunning for snipe, and
passed on. Finally the lantern vent out.
There was no further use to wait, az ante
lope, according to the Glendive sporting
fraternity, will not run into II sack unless
attracted by a red lantern. The solicitor
went back to town. 1t was nearly day
break. The first people he saw were his
hunting companions. He reported his
failure to secure any game and set up the
drinks. Some time later il began to dawn
on him that the boys had been playing with
him. Then ho left Glendiye firmly con-
WINGED that he had been taken for a tender.

MUsEM ENTS.

Tho Roetoniana wero again greeted by .
fine audience Mt Mings last evening. Fat

sented, waa sung In a most sntihfactory
manner. The plot of tho opera il well
known to most Helenaites. II ia o series Of
lovers plights which end happily M IL usual.
The scene iB the orient and this together
with the clever construction offers oppof-
~tunities for many picturesque scenes. The
general rendition OF the opera IL beyond
criticism. Tho leaders were In Gno voice,
the chorus was strong and well trained and
the settings II costumes were bright anu
effective. Among tbs singers not heard IN
Robin Hood were Mr.. Hoif, MIR. Nichols,
Julistte Gordon and Grace Reals. Mr.. Hoi's
Interpretation of julian Hardy, the
war correspondent was exceedingly good.
His acting was marked by n %breezlLess that
was part .culnrly pleasing. His beautiful
tenor voice was heard best in the song, MY
Native Land" for which he was rewarded
by storms Of applause.
Juliette Gordon WAS II graceful and pretty
princess. She has n clear soprano of excel
lent range and sweetness. Her duet with
Vladimir WAS a gem.
Mr.. Nichols was ar amusing M%ustnpha.
The other members of the company were AS
clever as in Robin Hood. Mr.. Barnabee
can keep an audience in fun in any oharac-
ter, but ~ proprietor of n harem he fairly
shines. Jessie Bartlett Davis WAS II charm
ing Vladimir, and IN the white uniform was
a most picturesque figure.

Gould himself has taken. is believed to
nave considerable significance. 1t is
claimed that the bonds were issued and &C

western railroad it was voted to issue 3d.
0 1000 in bonds, "for improvements and
the extension Of such lines as may be neces-

lief that it refers to an extension of the
road from Fort Casper, Wyoming, INTO
Montana. 1t was learned yesterday from a
gentleman from Custer county that q party
of surveyors have been operating in the
southern part of that county for the past
two or three weeks, but just who they were
working for it was impossible to learn, the
men telling different stories. The line il

Custer county to Miles CITY, then into Dav-
son, midway between the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific, taking a direct
course through Fergus county, then down
into Meagher, tappingth the mineral and stock
growing sections of that county. then by the
most feasible route to q connection with
the Union Pacific. This route, while it
would parallel the Burlington extension in
some sections, would give the Northwestern,
to a large extent, q rich field of its own,
and owing to the close traffic arrangement
with the Union Pacific, would give tho
latter Just the chance it wants for increas-
ing it's Montana business. That the Union
Pacific is anxious to have q better hold in
Montana there is no doubt; and while its
agreement with the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern may tie its hands just
at present, this does not apply to it's ally.

Cheap Rates viii be Scarce.

Cheap Rates VIII be Scarce.
If people want cheap railroad rates to
their annual conventions or gatherings of
any kind that people from all parts of he
country can take advantage of there are
only three places in the country in which
they may hold such meetings. These are
Chicago, st. Louis and Cincinnati. Owing
to the Alton boycott and the refusal Of the
Alton to allow it's competitors in the West
ern Passenger association to exchange Ger
~titicates with the boycottinR roads, for
the reason that if it did so it would not
have an equal chance to secure its fair
share of the business, as the boycotting
roads will not accept its tickets, no excur-
sion rates can be made from western terri
tory to any points but those named.
The reason that these three cities are
exempt is that the Alton has direct
communication with two of them by
its own lines and with the third by the
direct line leading there from st. Louis.
AS far as can be seen at present there will
be no reduced rates to the National Educa-
tional convention in Toronto in July from
points west of Chicago or to the annual
encampment of the Grand Army of the Re
public in Detroit. The Alton is willing
that certificates should be exchanged with
the direct routes from Chicago to Toronto
for the first mentioned event, but will not
agree to their exchange with routes via
Niagara Falls or Buffalo, and the other
roads won't have them unless they can have
them by all routes.
Intending tourists, too, may find them
selves cut out from reduced fares to their
~favorlte summer resorts. The western roads
have failed to come to any agreement in
regard to them. The zone of contention is
the basis on which the rates shall be made.
Some of the roads val Il rate from st.
Louis to st. Paul that will not apply via
Chicago. The Alton will not agree to that.
1t wan the same basis to govern via Chi
cago or Kansas City as is in effect by the
direct routes from st. Louis to st. Paul.
The difference concerning these rates pre-
vents rates from Chicago to Wisconsin and
northern Michigan points from being ar
ranged. Hotel keepers at these summer re-
sorts may find themselves without guests
the coming season and the passenger rev
enues OF the roods may be cut down very
materially. What the final outcome of the
present deadlock will be remains to be seen.
