spices favorlbl" to success. \ few years
after his arrival the father, who was a
cabinet maker. met with an accident
that untitled him for his trade. and he
was forced to become dependent on the
bounty of his neighhors. A year ago
kumpf came to Kansas City, drifting
here by force of circumstances. When
he arrived here he had $40, sum he
said he had been saving for long time.
He hoped to swell this amount to enough
to pay his hoy Ernest's passage to Kan
sas City, having after his accident. been
forced to give up sending the boy elluca-
lion money. He now wanted Ernest
with him to help fight lifes battle.
During the summer months old man
kumpf earned Il few pennies daily clean
ing lawns and doing other odd jobs. All
of this money. with the exception of Il
tritlng sum for living expenses, the old
man deposited with J. Harris, the steam
ship agent, who has Offices in the Bur-
lington ticket office, Ninth and Main

Mr. Harris said the old man would
come into his office from time to time
with twenty-five cent or a fifty cent
piece and say:

Cultivate Reserve.

There is nothing in this wide world
counts so much as manners If you do
not possess it naturally. do your very
best to cultivate it. as it's influence is
far reaching and has it's effect on peo-
pie whom an assumption of authority
would but lrrItate into something dis
tinctly unpleasant.
II young girls could only appreciate
this fact how much more attractive they
would be. There may be something quite
irresistible in the enthusiasm of extreme
youth, but it certainly does not have as
lasting an effect as the more elegant and
self-contained dcmeanor that comes with
maturer years.
Above all things. little sisters mine, do
not talk OF your own personal affairs to
any chance stranger you may happen to
meet: VI course, You deny ever doing
anything so foolish, but just the same
there are sweet. pretty looking girls and
thoroughly we'll bred, too. who cannot
resist the temptation to talk if a pro-
tracted wait throws them upon their own
thoughts for amusement to fill up the
unoccupied minutes.
An example of this foolish loauacity
came under the writer's notice the other
morning when she was waiting for a
we'll actress in the reception room
of her hotel. In the same apartment
sat Il very sweet-loOking girl who was
apparently so delighted at having some
one come in to relieve the te,lium of a
wait which had already been an hour
long that she at once proceeded to tell
us all about her family, her aspirations
for histrionic; fame. her age. the diseases
which she has already survived. the
financial losses. of her sisters hus-
band and what terrors her sis
'ter's children were. and finally end
ed up by giving the writer a
most thrilling description of the latest
book she had read and the pays she had
seen.
There was nothing actually wrong in
any of her little disclosures. but it was a
species of youthful enthusiasm which she
will look back upon with regret in the
years to come Maintain dignity with
strangers, ut least. even though you are
the most kittenish of kittens within the
sacred precincts of Your own home, for
strangers are not apt to be as lcnient in
their judgment as are those near and
dear ones who think you perfect what
ever YOU may see fit to do.-Phi'adel-

Queen and Diva.
1t is not too much to say that the
.summOning of Nine. Patti to Windsor
to appear before the Queen has been
absolutely the greatest surprise of the
season. 1t is more than twenty years
since the Queen has listened to the
stEalns OF the greatest prima donna of
all recorded time. When Christine Nils
son. the Swedish c:ntatrice, was inter
viewed i'll New York in 1888. she was
asked her opinion Of various singers. and
she gave it very candidly of everyone
including herself and Abani. but she
never once alluded to Patti. Z" You have
remarked, the, pertinacious interviewer
No, said Christine, II have not; you
are asking ME about singers I do. not
regard Patti as Il singer, ! placc her
among the angels. n Patti only comes

ouSy here which is astounding.

tse premier place among the prime donnie
OF the world, and for more than thirty
years she has never been displaced. Aft

trouDicd that public scandal could not be
avoided, and with great reluctance the
great chanteuse entered the divorce court
and without any difficulty obtained the
ntlllty she sought. The Queen has Il
great objection to divorce cases. 1t did
not seem from this date. as though the
diva were persona grata to her. and. as
q matter of musical history, Nine. Al
bani appeared to monopolize the entire
ear OF royalty for years, until MeIba and

seasons ago.
Since this> time her majesty has been
yearning again to hear the mellow voice
of the hcaven-born singer. hut the latter
was hard to persuade. and it was not
until after the visit to Craig-y-Nos cas-
tie OF the astute and diplomatic Duchess
OF York that the diva at last obeyed the
command of the Queen. The gold
brooch, with the royal initials in precious
stones, was the souvenir bestowed on
Patti before leaving Windsor and curl

scent and rushed away on the trail inn
medately. Within 10 minutes he seized
table leg i'm the rear of a saloon located
half a mde distant. Upon examination
blood was discovered on tins leg.
Sam then proceeded to the saloon of
two Italians, Lorenzo Danine and
Jobatie Antolio, who were there and ex-
hibted considerable anxiety to get away.
They were arrested. The dog then struck
the scent again and rushed to a cabin
near by, where two more Italians, Pete
Rosetta and Frank Anrico. were arrested.
Admissions of knowledge of the murder
were secured from Two of them immedi-
ately upon Their arrest, and later they di-
vulged the names of seven others who
we're with them. and they charged Lorenzo
Danine with the murder.
Two Of the Italians had started south.
Tho officers were quickly in the saddle
and the entire nine we're under arrest by
4 o'clock p. m. The names of the adj
ditional live are Pete Jocobini, Francisco
Ronketto, one Corporalla, one MILO and
one Nicholas, whose Christian names are
unknown. The coroner's jury adjourned
until tomorrow.
The prisoners were taken to Watson
burg. the county seat. Threats of lynch
ing DAnluo were generally INDUCED in
during the day but it is scarcely possible
that vengeance will attempted.
The accepted theory of the murder is
that it was committed for revenge by the
enemies of the man. He was one of the
most active deputy sherlfs last summer
during the miners strike in suppressing
the miners riot. 1t is generally believed
that a "Mafia" exists here among the
Italians for tue purpose of vengeance.

Special Dispatch to the standard.
HELENA, March 11.-Th supreme court
handed down three decisions to-Iay. Tue
Northern Pacific and Montana Central
Railway companies, respondents, VS..
James w. Forbs ct al. appellants. APP
peal from the district court of Silver Bow
by James A. Murray, appell,nt The com
pany brought action to condemn for rail-
road purposes certain property belonging
10 Murray. The commissioners awarded
Murray $4,000 for the land. Murray was
not satisfied with that amount and APP
pealed to the district court. In tho trial
Murray tried to prove the value OF the
land both Tor town lot and mineral pur-
poses. The court held tnat the owner
could not recover value for two purposes,
and therefore required Murray to elect
which value he would prove. Under this
ruling he decided TO prove the value as
town lots, and later brought the case to
the supreme court, complaining that the
court erred in so holding.
The supreme court, in an opinion by
Justice Dewitt, holds that if the uses of
the land for mineral and town lots pur-
poses do not interfere with each other,
'th have a separate value that should
have been considered in the trial, as such
two compatible uses of land would consti-
tute it's market value. The judgment Is
reversed and the case remanded tor a
new trial.
NJ. L. Holland, appellant, VS.. the COM
missioners of Silver Bow, respondents.
The supreme court, IN an opinion by JUS
tice Hunt, decides that under the revenue
law of 1891 mortgages to secure debts
owned by non residents are not subjsc, to
taxation within the state, as the supreme
court of the Unitcd States has held that
debts must be taxed at the creditor 3
home. The court Is of the opinion that
the revenue law of 1891 has no
provision giving n status to mort
cages owned 10y non-resldents as property
within the stale. The court holds that
Assessor Holland, having assessed tho
property not within the state and there
fore not taxable, cannot recover fees for
making such assessment, and the lower
courts order oyerruIlng the new trial and
judgment are affirmed.

His friends say that Bean Is aciuated by

Mormons procured his indictment on
trumped up charges out of revenge for his
cooperation with Senator Dubois, then
United States attorney, and with his
