twenty-five Cents a Kiss.

A lively row is in progress at Burns, a
little town about twenty miles from Buf-
falo, New York, growing out of new
money raising scheme introduced at a
church social held there in the Luthe-
ran church parlors. The church is heav
lily in debt, and the ladies advertised a
social in the church to raise money to
pay the preacher and buy some coal.
The men of the congregation had all
been seen and informed that the women
had a big surprise for them. The men
were out in full force and fairly packed
the rooms. Across one end of the room
was curtain. When the curtain was
suddenly withdrawn there stood six of
the prettiest women in the congrega-
tion, blushing and smiling, each bearing
upon her bosom placard upon which
were the words: "You may kiss me for
twenty-five cents"
1t was fifteen minutes before the de-
-ice began to work, but when it did sill
yer quarters fairly showered in the
aprons of the young ladies' circle Old
and young eagerly rushed to the front
to exchange coins for kisses. The show
lasted only for a short time, when the
curtain was again drawn. Then the
storm burst. Women were jealous of
their husbands, and dozen or more
family fights were started at once. Soon
it was announced that the women would
pose again in a short time. Then the
angry women tore down the curtains
and blew out all the lights. Scrambling
for the door followed, and for over two
hours church members gossiped and
fought on the sidewalks. They finally
dispersed and factional church fight is
the result. No services were held at the
church last Sunday.

The Water Right Case.

The trial of the case Of Samnel r,
Holiday and others against David p
RANKIN and others, which has been
pending IN the district court during the
past two years, was begun Monday
morning, Judge F. K. Armstrong of the
Ninth Judicial district presiding, owing
to the incapacity of Judge Henry.
Plaintiffs IN the case are S. L. Holiday,
l.. II. Shatfer, Board of County Commits
sioners, J. r. Hathorn, J. P.Lillv and
Rhodla E. Thompson, represented by

Smith, M. NJ. Wilson, K. Wilson and
Daniel Maxey, represented by Luce &
Luce and W. A. lines of Bozeman. while
John T. Smith appears as attorney
for NJ. S. Ballinger as intervenor. This
action is brought to establish the rights
OF large number of claimants to the
waters of Trail creek, which empties
into the Yellowstone river just above the
canyon. The result of the litigation is
OF almost vital Importance to number
OF the litigants, as the stream. from it's
source to confluence with the Yellow
stone, passes through one of the most
populous and fertile portions of the
famed Paradise valley and is relied upon
for irrigation Of these lands. The jury
men, who were excused from further at
tendance on the Doth ult until Monday,
appeared on that date and after jury
for the trial of the water case was Sc
cured the remainder of the panel were
excused for the term. The jurymen Sc

o. M. Hatch, Jake DeHart, J. w. John
son, Samuel Schott, Frank Irvine, S. r.
Shrake, John H. Harvat, John O. Sax, J.
j. Berkey and David Gregg. The case
has occupied the entire attention of the
court during the week in hearing evi-
dence, and will probably not be con-
cluded until some time during the com
ing week.

RED LODGE NEWS.
From the Pickett

Thomas McKeever, the Cooke City
millionaire, is in Red Lodge on a visit.
Henry Morse came in from the Cora
Lee mine at Grove creek Monday after
giant powder and supplies, and brought
in some splendid looking ore.
The many warm personal friends and
admirers Of Sydney Fox, the bright
young lawyer, will regret to learn that he
will leave Red Lodge and will locate in
Bozeman. Mr. Fox is a young man of
marked ability, and is popular in all cir
cles of this city. We predict brilliant
dent that in few years he will be
in the front ranks of the legel profession
in Montana.
1t is little quiet in Red Lodge at pre-
sent and it is furthermore perfect folly to
think the boom and animated activity in
business can be on all the time. 1t is an
actual pleasure, however, to run news
paper during the tame season of the year
anywhere. We are not mean enough to,
say that it is so tranquil in this city that
we can hear each others pulsations and
endearing tn robs of the heart or look at
the smoke that ushers from the stove
pipes of our neighbors and tell exactly
what they are going to have to eat for
dinner. We like to see it quiet occasion
ally, SO the croaker can have chance to
show his fine Italian hand on the horos-
cope of futurity.
independents: Every owner of clay
bed in Montana is requested to send
sample to Secretary j. w. Eddy of the
Helena board of trade They will be sent
to Akron, Ohio,where tests will be made
of their quality free of charge, and the
returns sent to the owners, showing the
quality of the clay and it's adaptability
for use in pottery making. Samples Of
pure white sand will also be received for
tests. President Muth of the board of
trade will send several samples from his
clay beds near Kalispell. The gentleman
in Akron, who will make the test has
had practical experience in the pottery
business, and may conclude to establish
a plant in Montana should the right
kind Of clay be found. One of the requi.
sites of a good clay for pottery purposes
is that it shall be free from lime. The
white sand is used in annealing the
ware. 1t is we'll known that there are
large deposits of clay in various parts of
the state which have never been tested
for any other use than making brick,
and it is quite possible that many of
them are valuable for pottery, tileing and
similar industries.

MOntana's Schools

| MOntana's schools
Independents: State Superintendent
Cannon has made his report for 1891 to
Governor Toole, who is the president of
the state board of education. The work
OF the past year has been progressive
throughout the state without exception.
The apportionment for teachers has been
increased over that of 1890, S79,498, while
the total receipts for school purposes
show gain of s183,O3O9S The amount
paid for teachers wages exceeds that of
1890 by S47,76S. Superintendent Can
non says it is gratifying to note that the
inducements offered capable teachers in
the payment of salaries commensurate
with the services to be performed has
had the effect of drawing to the state a
large number who have had professional
training for their work and whose ac-
quirements are of the highest order. OF
those who have graduated from normal
schools there has been an increase of
thirty over 1890, and gain of 100 in the
number who have attended such schools
without finishing the prescribed course.
There are many teachers in the schools
who without special training have done
excellent work, and the superintendent
recommends that some provision be
made for schools of methods in each
county, presided over by those who are
masters in their lines. Such schools
would be great benefit in aiding those
who have not had the advantage of pro-
fessional training al d would supply the
place of normal or training schools until
the time the state establishes it's own.
The number of children between the
ages OF 8 and q who attended school in
1890 was 27,821, and in 1891 it was 29,-
1853. In 1890 the number enrolled was
1890, and in 1891, 19.O51. The average
daily attendance in 1890 was 1O,614.O9,
and for last year, 12,O92.8. The number
enrolled in private schools for the CORE
spending periods was 1850 and 1,736,
and the total enrolment, public and
private. was 1920 and 2O,787. There
are thirteen children in eastern institu-
tions at the expense of the state.
Special taxes, the superintendent says,
have been cheerfully assumed to build
school houses that are credit to the
people and an honor to the state and
places Montana in line with the most
progressive states. The increase in tho
value of school buildings and sites ia

Terrible Holocaust.

A disaster, apalling in horror, bring
ing to mind the terrible occurrence IN
Park Place, still fresh in the public mind
occurred in New York city early Sunday
morning The Hotel Royal, that well
known landmark, which has stood fol
more than a quarter of century at the
southeast corner of Sixth avenue and
Fortieth street, burned to the ground
and large number of persons were
burned, suffocated and crushed in the
ruins. At the time of the disaster there
were nearly $50 guests in the house, and
the hotel employees, all told, numbered 90
OF this number Of people, five have thus
far been found dead, six are in the hospl-
tai and 63 have been reported alive
The number of dead will probably not ex-
ceed, at later estimate, 80. The scenes
were heartrending and appalled, even the
tiremen and policemen who are used to
such scenes. Soon after the fire broke
out ambulances arrived from the various
hospitals. Many physicians whose resi-
dences are in the neighborhood were
quickly on the scene and did all they
could to relieve the injured. Nearly
eyery one of the 124 rooms of the hotel
on it's five floors were occupied by guests
many of them being transients. In fact,
all the rooms save four had been taken
at o'clock in the morning, when Rich
ard Meares, the proprietor, went to bed
When the flames burst from some un-
known origin near the elevator shaft
the entire building was instantly envel-
oped in flames.
The origin of the fire is unknown. 1t
started in the basement near the eleva-
tor shaft, which was located in the mid
die of the building. The flames were
first seen pouring out of the cupalo OF
the roof, directly over the elevator shaft,
by the engineer of Sixth avenue elevated
train, who stopped his engine directly
in front of the hotel and blew the loco
motive whistle loud and continuously
This unusual sound awoke many sleep
ING people and brought policemen to the
scene. who at once sent in fire alarm
The dead and missing and injured are
reported as follows:
Daad-Unknown woman, 40 years old'
fractured skull and burned about the
body; unknown woman, about 2o' eooo

of iewelry; unknown man, about % years

CONGRESS ut Last Takes Action.


A bill. has been introduced at Wash
ington requiring all baking powders con
tanning alum and ammonia to be so la
beled. This is step in the right direc
tion and has been long foreshadowed by
the action of state legislatures, boards
of health, food commissioners, ETC., in
this matter. The bill affords needed
protection to the public, for the evi-
dence as to the injurious effects of alum
and ammonia is very heavy, but it will
nevertheless be fought bitterly by the
manufacturers whom it affects, who are
accustomed to sell their goods as ''pure
cream of tartar,' absolutely pure" etc.
The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses a drug in his powder the
name of which he does not want to have
printed on his label it is prima facie evil
dence that there is something wrong.
We hope the subject will be vigorously
prosecuted all over the country, not only
as regards baking powder, but also other
food adulterations.
This bill may incidentally benefit the
makers of pure articles, but if it should,
this is only an additional point in it's
favor

Montana Animals.

Mr.. John Sinclair of Great Falls is
putting up complete collection of the
animals of Montana for the Chicago ex-
position, says the Montana Mining Re-
view. A grand old elk, with his five
foot antlers, is now king of the exten-
sive menagerie, but when the moose and
buffalo take their places he may lose his
crown. Already put up IN this fine col
lection are the elk, black tail and white
tail deer, antelope, mountain sheep,
mountain goat, cinnamon aud black
bears, mountain lion, lynx, buffalo, gray
and prairie wolf, otter, beaver, porcu-
pine, skunk, prairie dog, five kinds of
hares, marmots and squirrels, mountain
rats, tortoises and foxes and others.
This collection also has fine display Of
birds. There is fine flock OF swan, into
which are admitted pelican, a crane
larger and finer than any Audubon or
Baird described. There are also the
