Special Dispatch to the Standard.
HELENA, Feb. co. The senate remained
in executive sc SIS ion an hour this morn
ing, considering the nomination of Pro-
fessor Young to be member of the state
board of education. 1t is said that some
very plain talk was INDUCED in. The
session ended without any action being
taken. The judiciary committee reported
adversely on the bill creating a supreme
court commission and the report was
adopted.
Bills were introduced in the senate as
follows: An act to provide for a meat in
spector in cities of 10000 or more inhab-
itants. An act to amend title l. part 3, of
the penal code, concerning prisons. This
bill restores the contract system, the codes
providing for a warden. An act to regu-
late the appointment of district judges to
fill vacancies in newly created districts.
The bills relating to hotel keepers; cre-
ating a state board of health; abolishing
the Office of mineral land commissioner
and to compel owners of irrigating bitches
to keep the Same in repair, were all read
the third time and passed without a dis
senting vote.
The Smead school bill was made a
special order for this afternoon and the
entire afternoon was spent on it, but it
was no more than half finished when the
committee arose.
An amendment to strike out a clause
authorizing the state board of education
to adopt text books was beaten by a vote
of Z to 10. An amendment requiring the
state board to recommend TO the legisla-
ture school books for adoption by the
LEGISLATURE was carried.

DRUMMoND, Mont, Feb. 20.-Henry
Dixon of Ovando committed suicide at
Jakway & Faust's hotel in that town this
morning, shooting himself through the
head. He had formerly kept a saloon at
Ovando but, although he made money the
first few years, he afterwards lost so
heavily that he had to give up the busi-
ness last spring. Since then he lived by
doing odd jobs, haying or logging occa-
sionally. For n long time he drank hard,
aud those who knew him say that they ex-
pected this finale for months past.
Drink and loss of money together made
him despondent. He had been sleeping
in a room with two men who got up as
usual this morning for breakfast, Dixon
remaining in bed after the others left. He
called one of them back twice to drink
with him and the third time. he told him
to take his (Dixon's) little dog with him.
A noise was heard in the room shortly
after this, but nothing was thought of 1t
until ono of the men was sent to call
Dixon for breakfast, when he was found
in bed, a bottle on the chair beside the
bed, one arm rased over his head, the
OF her, with n pistol clutched fast, lying
beneath his chin. Death had evidently
been instantaneous.
Dixon was unmarried and about 40 years
of age. He came from Maine several
years ago. and has brother living at or
near Rumsey in this state. Nothing re-
garding the inquest or the disposition of
the body could be learned, as the deed
only occurred a few minutes prior TO the
departure of the stage by which the news

of 29.6 miles per hour and in a short dis
tance race is probably ohe of the swiftest
crafts adoat. She is owned in Philadel-
pha and time after time her owners, the
Mcbride Brothers, have flaunted rich
wagers in the faces of rivals. but there
seems to have been general disinclina-
tion on the part of other yacht owners to
meet the boat with the musical name.
The Yankee Doodle. however, is credit.
ed with possessing the same drawback as
the Norwood, and that Is the question Of
her ability to steam long distance under
heavy pressure. She Is light boat and
every inch racing machine and eighty
miles may prove too far for her stability.
About the Vamoose there is no doubt
that she can steam eighty miles at her
utmost speed, but in short distance races
the Yankee Doodle would probably defeat
her with ease. The yacht that can steam
the race in three hours will probably be
the winner. Notwithstanding the records
claimed by all the probable starters.
The Giralda, the English yacht, is
bound to make something of a sensation
when she reaches here. There Is no Am
erican boat of her size that can touch her
in the matter of speed. She is a big ocean
going yacht and she made record at
Nice last winter of small fraction under
tw enty- three knots an hour. This is phe-
nomenal time for a boat OF her size.

During the height of the season visit

Very few sensational winnings are made

would never suspect the intimate relations

There is considerable nervousness at
Long Branch now over the question of
opening the gambling-house, because of
the reform wave which has swept the
