The county commissioners are in
session this week.
E. E. Leech, S. L. Potter, F. P.
Cowell, j. H. Barnum and James
leighton, of Dupuyer were visitors
at the county seat during the past
week.
The appointment by the county
commissioners of John Jackson Jr.,
as additional justice of the peace,
for the Choteau precinct meets
with the approval of all citi>
zens.
J. W, Mcknight, of Dupuyer,
was before Justice Beaupre last
Monday charged by S. L. Potter
with having sold liquors at retail
without first having a license for
so doing. The trial was by jury,
who decided that Mr.. Mcknight
was innocent. The costs in the
case was very properly assessed to
the complaining witness, it being
very clearly proven that his action
in bringing the suit was merely
spite work. Messrs. Erickson, Bair
and Bishop appeared for the de-
PENDENT, while County Attorney
Sulgrove ably handled the case on
behalf of the state.
Chas. Dunlap has been appointed
by the county commissioners, road
supervisor for the Choteau district.

Waiting for the Tide to Turn.

Like a frost in a greenhouse, the
Free Trade party blights every
thing it touches. The admission
OF wool to our ports free of duty
by the Cleveland Wilson German
hybrid is likely to prove the death
of the sheep industry. 1t would
already have done so, we're it not
for a hope that the nation will
change its economic policy in 1896.
The sheep men are treading wa
ter, SO to speak, with only their
noses cut, and q little wave dashed
over their heads would sink them.
Many have already succumbed to
the flood, and all would go were it
not for the straws thrown to them
by the bankers. Everybody says
''Tf I can only tide it over until
another election I may then get on
my feet again." So they plunge
still farther into debt, with hopeful
hearts.
1t was a very pretty whistle the
Professor footed up and down the
halls OF Congress, and it gave forth
an alluring sound, but the shiver-
ing sheep herder has concluded
that we have paid too dear for it.
A Free Trade sheep owner can>
not now be found with the greatest
search light ever invented. They
have all turned Protectionists. -

DAHoMEYANs DISGUSTING.

Even Morbid Curiosity Seekers Cannot
Stand the Exhibition.
The 'Dahomey Village" alleged to be
the same production as seen on the Chicago
Worlds Fair Midway, is on exhibition at
Capitol Park, corner North Capitol and G
streets.
The show is composed of about thirty
colored men, who SO exhibitio MS are
tedious in their every detail and scarcely
improving TO the morals of the community.
The show is confined to tent about
thirty feet long and twelve feet wide.
Within fifteen braZen, ebon-hued women
may be seen in reclining postures. The
air is laden with the nauseating odor of
the tobacco which they smoke These
and about fifteen male companions COM
pose the scene.
The entertainment is given at intervals,
the time of the performances being regu-
lated by the number Of sightseers who
happen along.
The morbid curiosity Of those who remain
long enough to witness the performance
is catered to when the women emit a series
of weird yells loud enough to awaken
regiment of sleeping soldiers.
Iattling of what are supposed to be
drums follows and the performance is at
an end. The admission charged to the
performance and the privilege Of seeing
The Washington times., 1895-05-05

is not made the principal feature; it is
rather the dignity of the great artist that
is most strongly marked. Equally notable
are the busts of Anton Seidl and a small
statuette of Jean de ReSZke.
Another statuette OF a slightly draped
figure OF a woman, tall and most diyiney
proportioned, is remarkable for the life and
vigor it portrays-sO complete an embodi-
nent is it of superb health, strength and
vitality as actually TO convey an impression
of movement and color.
"It was DONE Mrs. Huneker explained,
from life. A friend of mine posed for me,
who, although she was born and bred an
American. is an ideal Greek in physique
and temperament-and the temperament is
necessary to the physique. / have no doubt
that the exceeding beauty OF the Greeks as
nation. was largely due to their placidity
of life, the calm serenity OF the face being
typical OF the stately, dignified spirit of
the people.
american faces are more yiyacious and
interesting, typifying thus our new civili-
zation."
AS Mrs. Huneker's mother was a woman
of intensely artistic nature, the girl has
really breathed an art atmosphere all her

men who have essayed sculpture.
Her sketch of the Fremont statue was the
unanimous choice of tie committee having
the matter in charge. Her design was sub b.
mitted in competition with those OF some
of The best men in the country, but her
originality as well as strength or treat
ment carried the day.
Mrs. Huneker scarcely appears out OF her
teens, with herslim girlish figure and cream
and rose tiuting. She il delightfully."- en-
tfusiastic over her art, and has modelled
some fine busts of well-known people Her
profile bas-relief OF Paderewski Is the
finest yet made. The strong individuality
OF the face is preserved but in no way ex-
aggeraied, and, unlike many portraits of
the eccentric genius, the mass OF wavy hair

earned reputation of being the most sue
uessful woman who has ever taken up the
profession OF modelling.
What she viii send TO this years eXhi-
hition not even the secretary of the society
has been informed. She always likes TO
keep her work in her studio untn the last
moment in orderthat She may add finishing
touches of improvement just before her
work is placed before the public.
Last year Mrs. Kitson exhibited life
sized statues OF a boy and girl, repre-
senting the forests of Michigan. This
litce OF work attracted much attention,
and its strength in action and good work
mansnip led many to believe that the
group vas the work of man rather than
OF a girl just out OF her teens.
The work that Mrs. kitson is now busy
Hith is being done in her hus band s
studio under his direction. During the
winter she has completed number Of
ideal heads, and it is not unlikely that
some of these viii be exhibited.
Each morning Mrs. Kitson is to be
found at her modelling stand by O'Clock,
and, with the exception of an hour Which
she allows herself for lunch, this busy
little woman never leaves her studio
until evening.
While at work she usually wears loose
gown, artistcally draped from the shoul-
ders, and fully gathered modelling apron
which hangs in heavy folds to her feet.
The work of this little sculptor is well
known on both continents. She was the
youngest woman that ever exhibited in
the Paris Salon, aud since her return to
America has been medaled twice in the
Boston exhibitions.
Mrs. Kitson began her profession Sc
riously at the age OF fifteen, under the in
struction of II. H. Kitson. Previous to
this she had worked by herself after school
hours. AT sixteen years of age she was
taken to Paris by her mother and entered
the studio OF gnan-Bouveret, from whom
she received much encouragement.
In 1888 her first work was accepted
at the Salon, aud publicly exhibited. Her
exhibit consisted of two busts from life
and q life-siZed figure called Ion the
Banks of the Oise,'' which brought her hou-
orable mention from the judges.
After her return to Boston the little
sculptress married her former instructor
and became Mrs. Kitsou. Under her hus-
bands instruction she began her work for
the Worlds Fair She constructed a fig
ure representing the typical American wo-
man after the measurements of DR.. Sar-
gent, of Cambridge. This was exhibited
In the Fine Arts Building, along with a
figure of a boy and girl, Que holding an
oak branch and the other q pine. These
represent the forests of Michigan, and was
an order from the women of that State.

When the Barnum and Bailey show comes
here, and it certainly Will on Friday and
Saturday, May II and 1s, there will be
seen such a countless number of features
and array of special attractions as to be-

the canvass alive with startling sensations,
clowns ofevery kind doing everything funny,
tumblcTs and leapers, athletes, acrobats,
gymnasts, jockeys, drivers, male aud fe-
male experts Of all kinds engaged in every
line of trained athletic performances, or
those denoting skill and endurance.
Races, contests, trials and struggles will
be constantly going on in every style of hu-
man eDdeayor, while the menagerie tents
will be seen Overlooking with The wonders
Of the animal kingdom. Besides these
again the chronological Congress will in
terest and instruct every visitor for nearly
all the races of human beings living on the
globe will be represented in it,
The free street parade alone is sufficient
TO guarantee the title of The Greatest Show
on Earth, because more curlosities, cle-
CANT objects, horses, animals and per-
formers are seen free on the streets than
other shows contain in their whole indoor
and outdoor displays combined. Don't be
fooled, but wait for Barnum and bailey.
