The County Investigating Committee
Makes Report Which is
Published in Full.
A Special Meeting of the Board il
Called for Next Saturday
Afternoon.
The Presence and Cooperation Of the
ofthe County Officers and TaH-
payers Generally Invited.

There was good attendance at the
board of trade meeting yesterday after
noon. President Harris occupied the
chair. The minutes of the previous
meeting we're read and approved.
The matter of the discrimination in
live stock rates between this city and
Fort Benton occupied the attention Of
the hoard for some time. The difference
in rates was characterized as an outrage
against this city which should not be
tolerated. If there is to be any relief
next year the board must see to it that
the matter is placed before the railroad
authorities for their consideration. The
committee having the matter in hand
was urged to lose no time in having the
injustice righted.
Mr.. Scott, chairman OF the county in
vestigating committee, presented the
following report, which was read and
approved:

Gentlemen: Your committee ap-
pointed to furnish you with information

that little, if any, Of the information
furnished is entirely new, as most Of it
has been made public in some form at
different times. but it has been the aim
of your committee to so combine and
present the matter as to give you com
prehensive idea of the situation with a
view to determining where retrenchment

ing the amount of public revenue neces-
sary to be raised therefor by taxation:

Cliho rd Won.

CHICAGO, Oct 3l.--Clifford won easily
at Hawthorne yesterday afternoon in the
sweepstake mile and quarter race, in
which he, Io Tambien and Lamplghter
fought for an $4,000 prize. Fully 10000
people were present and Yo Iambicn
Was the popular favorite. Odds were
three TO five on her, eight to five on Cliff
ford and ten to one on Lamplighter. 1t
took nearly 20 minutes to get the horses
started for lo Tambien acted badly.
After the start she quickly took .he lead,
but as the horses neared the half Cliff
ford began to gain, and as they passed
that mark he and Yo Tambien were neck
and neck, with Lamplighter clear out Of
it. When the stretch was reached, Cliff
ford was two lengths ahead of the marc
and at the finish was - lengths ahead,
with Lamplighter 20 lengths further
back. Clifford finished in 2:00aI Yo
Tambien's friends say her edge was
taken off by Saturdays race and had the
big race been run then the result would
have been different

a considerable sum each year. There is
no provision whereby this money can be

there being no bonds payable for some

suit. Your committee recommend that
an effort be made to refund the issue of
S20,0007 per cent bonds and replace
them with $4,000 of the $4,000 issue
now unsold. This will liberate the S15,-

mans home is his hobby. He owns nine
teen acres at Cryder's Point. part of
the immense fortune he has made has
been expended upon this novel place.
Every summer Mr.. Hermann devises
something new for it.
Hermann was born in Paris. His
father was doctor and an amateur per-
former Of magical tricks. His brother
was a great magician twenty-five years
ago. Hermann was kidnapped by his
brother when he was wears old and
taught the art. He went to Vienna after
few months and then met his mother,
who had gone to take him home. The
doctor had great horror Of the stage, and
the elder brother, inheriting his talents,
mad stolen away to make his fortune. a
family quarrel ensued, but the S-year-old
Eterrmann stOutly refused to leave his
brother aud his arts. He was only
l6 years old when he began his
career as a magician. Hermann says
his best audiences are Chinese. They
are clever, and appreciate the tricks of
the great prestidigItateur. In San Fran
cisco not long ago he gave a midnight
performance for a Chinese tea merchant.

great buckskin bag within the dark re-
cesses of the barman's fortified bed.
A wonderful old curio is the L Unicorn at
Bowes, all unknown to the people of
England themselves. Like the village it
is dead in the shell. Its oaken timbers,
as those in Raleigh's old home at ough-
al. seem everlasting, but its moaning
belfry, its empty stables, its crumbIing
dove-cotes, its forlorn brewhouse, its
empty taproom, its grass-grown inn
yard, and even its present occupancy by
a strange creature, halt-plowman and
halt-schoolmaster, who stares listlessly
up and down the Great North Road for
occasional victim in wandering bicyclist,
less frequent literary tramp, or yokel
from the near fields. all serve to empha-
size by contrast the cheer and stirring
days that once were here.
AT everywhere in England along its
grand old highways where stand these
crumblng monuments to the mellow
coaching days, there remains but mourn
fuI silence where there was an army of
helpers and horsekeepers: where the
oow-legged postboys, in their high chok-
ers, high hats, huge buttons and gorge
Gus wastcoats, led lives of positive re-
nown; where the tinkle of harness brasses
and clatter of hoof were endless; where
"RuIe Britannia" from shrill-keyed bu-
giles enllVened the constant departure and
arrival OF coaches; where the smart cry of
''frst pair oup' set the inn-yard and sta
bles in high commotion, and where,
through the livelong day and night, a
great roadside inn, like the Unicorn, was
the brightest, hvelest, cheeriest, most
harum-scarum and delicious place to be
found in all the length and breadth of
"Merrie England"

CUPID'S HOLIDAY,

Twas the merry month of May;
Love was on holiday.
Woods and flowers, birds and trees,
Such environments as these,
lie quite needed to restore
HlS temper, as ii was of yore.
Love is not an idle lad,
No, indeed! It's quite too bad

why Cupid lives just for the sake
OF making lives both far and near
so full OF love they seem less drear

Regardless always Of the looks.

they have no fear OF duplicating
themselves, for fun they're bound to take
When they go of to rusticate.
He climbed o'er hills and tramped througl
fields,
And where an old oak broadly yields
It's bounteous shade, lie paused for rest:
And here the lad is at his best
tor nature always makes the heart
reduier victim for his dart,
So tired was this lovely child,
Beneath these influences mild

Then INTO dreamland swift he passed

But, when to speak he would begin

Quick poised with bow in hand ne waits,
While he the maiden contemplates.
She hesltates, then turns to 90
Unmindtul she of Cupids bow;
Hold ON, my lass, I'm hereI" he cries.
Then OIL the arrow swiftly flies.
The lassie pauses quite dismayed,
In truth ii was as Cupid said.
In every life he plays part
The arrow pierced her falterinr heart.
And now she does not care to go!
"Ahn' Cupid cries, Il told you sop
"In little matters of the heart
You may rely upon my DART"
And having thus the maid entrapped,
He slings hls quver to his back.
Then trudges otf-this happy boy
And leaves them to their new-found Joy.
So, twas in the month of May
Cupid took his holiday;
But whereer the wee elf went,
Doing good his time was spent
Busy he whateer the weather
Molding youthful hearts together,

OLEOMARGARINE.
Twenty-four Thousand Tons Annually
Used in this Country.

Used in this Country.
Hidden away in dark and cobwebby
corner beneath the roof of the Treasury at
Washington is a room filed with a mys-
terlous assemblage Of queer-looking APP
paratus which has the aspect Of an al
chemists laboratory. Yet the work done
there has to do not with gold or vital
elixir, but with the analysis of food and
drink. 1t is the chemical division of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, and one of the
matters 1t has in charge is the detection OF
fraud in the sale of oleomargarine for
butter. The Kansas City Journal ex-
presses surprise on learning that the con-
sumption of oleomargarine in this coun-
try has doubled in the last five years.
The people Of the United States eat ,O00,-
600 pounds of it every month, or $4,000
tons annually. Nearly all of il is put up
by the great meat packers of Chicago,
Cincinnati, New York, Providence and
Kansas City. The manufacture of it is
lawful, but it is not permitted to masque-
rade as butter in the market. Suspected
samples are pOunced upon by revenue
agents and submitted to chemical tests.
Tbree-tourthS of the hotels and nearly
all of the restaurants and bOarding-houses
in the United States use oleomargarine
For their purposes this artificial product
IS eXcellently adapted. Whereas butter
quickly spoils, oeOmargarine always
lOOhS ulCG anu IGiIldluS IT6SD lDUellnIIelN.
Some of it which has been kept at the
Treasury for three years is as good as ever
to-day. IT is better in flavor than any ex-
cept first-rate butter. People who buy
rancid butter for cooking would do much
better TO purchase oleomargarine. The
best of the latter is not cheap, costing as
much as 25 cents a pound, thus approach
ing ordinary grades of butter III price
The peculiar flavor of butter is due to the
presence of As per cent. of fatty acid.
These acids are volatile and rapidly de-
compose, hence the rapidity with which
the substance spoils. Oleomargarine con-
tains very little Of such destructibIe ma
terial. 1t is made from beef tat, which is
removed from the animal in the process
OF slaughtering, washed and placed in a
cold water bath. Next the fat is cut into
small pieces by machines and cooked
until the liquid portion has separated
from the tissues. The liquid fat is set
tied until perfectly clear. Then it is
pressed to extract the stearine, leaving a
pure 'oleo OIL" which, churned together
with milk and butter, becomes oleomar-
garine. The fat being almost tasteless,
butter is put in to give the requisite fla
vor, the best oleOmargariue having 20 per
cent. of the finest buttera
