tailed statement of the exact amount of
work done on the High school building up
to the time work was ordered stopped be-
cause of the decision of the supreme
court declaring the bonds irregular. He
estimated the total value of the work per-
formed by Contractor Mckay at SIG, 1875.
After deducting the 10 per cent, as pro-
vIded by the contract, the architect calcu-
lated that the board still had margin of
about 81 500 due the contractor. Referred
to the building committee.
Mrs. Mitchell, teacher in the old south
side school, was transferred to the b. &
NJ. addition. Miss Nora Blodgett of
Lewistown was engaged to take the old
south side school. The building commit
tee was ordered to expend SIS in arrang-
ing vacant store room for a play room
for North Great Falls pupils. The clerk re-
ported that the general expense of run
ming the schools for the four months
ending Dec. 81, 1894, was SIG, 267.90
The question of advertising for the $780,
600 school bond issue, authorized by the
late election, was discussed at length.
1t was agreed to have the bonds draw in
terest from March /, 1895, and to adver-
tise for bids to be opened the 18th of next
month.

KATIE WANTS TO QUIT
She Says RatkOX;ki is as Tough as His
Name.
TIRED OF BEING WHIPPED
There's a Racy Case In the divorces
Caiendar-Dan Tracy Given a
Pleasant Surprise by
His Friends.

GREAT FALLS, Jan. 6.-Katie Ratkowski
is the name of the latest candidate for
divorce. She asks for an absolute divorce
from her husband. Andrew Ratkowski,
alimony, and her share in some Belt prop
erty. The complaint sets up a tale of
marital woes that, if true, would indicate
that Mr.. and Mrs. Ratkowski had indeed
reached the parting of the wey.
The complaint alleges that they were
married Oct. 4, 1891. at Roslyn, Wash,
and about year ago moved to Belt
where they opened a boarding house. Tho
first indications of incompatibility were
last March, when her spouse came homo
considerably the worse for liquor, and
without any apparent provocation began
to abuse her in the vilest man
ner and by casting aspersions upon
her chastity. April l, he again INDUCED
in abuse and went further than before
and struck her. She also alleges that
upon that occasion he threw the flood
gates of billingsgate wide open and wound
up his TRADE by pointing a loaded shot
gun at her and threatening her life. She
left him July 3, since which time she has
been supporting herself by working in a
boarding house. If the husband sets up
defense, the trial of the case will be de-
Clueuiy rdCy.
Dan Tracy. foreman at the b. & NJ. re-
finery, was the recipient of a handsome
gift last evening, a present from those as
sociated with him. The donors assembled
and sent for Mr.. Tracy. On that gentle
mans arrival Joseph Kirswing, acting al
spokesman. delivered happy speech,
setting forth the good feeling which
prevailed between Mr.. Tracy and
the refinery boys and wound
up by rendering him a beautiful
solitaire diamond ring. The recipient re-
sponded briefly, expressing his surprise
and qualification, and assured the donors
that he would always cherish the occasion
and the gift. Short speeches and songs

Alleged MaI,ing of Turkish Troops Ii
Asia Minor

Alleged Mas,ing of Turkish Troops In
Asia Minor.
VIENNA, Jan. 6.-Dispatches from Con-
stantinople tell of numerous arrests
throughout Armenia. The whole province
is disturbed. Many troops have left Con-
stantinople for various parts of Asia
Minor in the last few days. The pretext
was that their time had expired and they
were going home, but there is good reason
to believe that they are destined for the
military centers $, notably birmingham.
The recall of Abdullah Pasha, the most
fearless member of the commission of in
quiry, has been cancelled, owing to the
porte's anxiety to dispel the unfavorable
reports to which it gave rise.
Journals in the Caucasus say that
domicilliary visits and searches are still
made daily in Armenia and that numer-
Gus arrests are made. The local prisons
are crowded. The Bitlis prison is filled
with Armenians-among them a priest
more than 20 years of age, who was ar
rested for refusing to betray his sons hid
ing place. The Armenian Catholics have
applied to the pope.

Some one had set the stump on fire, and
the boys were poking it with sticks when
the money rolled out. The coin was in
$50 pieces, except one IS and one 81 piece.
The latest date on the coins is 1861, and
they are supposed to have been secreted

H TEST.

The Babcock test has claimed wide
attention and its value is conceded. It's
weak points have been concealed. This
test most of all lays the patron open to
being cheated by a dishonest manufac-
turer. In expert or designing hands
the fat will not be shown. If the acid
is too weak, o. the bottle wrongly cele-
brated or the neck made too small, it
invites deception on the part of dealers
or butter makers. These wrongly
made tests Ire made, of course, because
somebody wants them. To my knowl
edge rival creameries have used them,
and from this general use of it it is but
a step to use for personal ends. We
must protect ourselves for we are nov
at the mercy of the dealers under the
Babcock system From an address oi

THE DAIRY.
DAIRY DOTS.

-
The COWS should have green corn
fodder or grain when the pastures are
short. :
The system of cold storage is no
doubt bound to effect the price of win,

If the COW is a persistent mixer dc
not attempt to dry her off. There il
danger in doing so.
When rejected feed is left in the feed
boxes, COWS will pretty o o lose their
appetites and shrink their milk.
There is not as much said these days
about dehorning, as there used to be,
but it is going on extensively all the
same.
When winter comes if a good, we'll

provided, the cow will be more likely
to keep in steady good health.

A DIFFERENCE IN MIXERS.

Some three or four years ago I read
in the Jersey Bulletin a brief account
of the results of certain experiments
made by DR.. Babcock at the Wisconsin
station, to test the eff, CT of the process
of milking upon the quantity and quail
ity of the milk yield, which were 80
closely in accord with my own limited
observations, and am now as thorough
IL conviced as I could be of anything
that there is a very wide difference in
the value of different mixers, in some
cases amounting to as much as ten per
cent. of the product. That is to say,
that for the simple work of milking
alone men and women are worth ten
per cent. more than others who are
otherwise good hands and claim to be
good mixers. Michigan Farmer.

but interest must decrease still further
in price. But instead of an increase Of
ten millions we are confronted with q
decrease of nearly ten times that
amount. These who have our finances
in charge, instead of providing for our
rapid growth, have utdown our supply
of money to a lower point than in sew
eral years past. It is like asking a
growing boy to have six inches cut off
the bottom of his last years trousers
or rather it is like cutting off the trou
ssrs without even a ''by your leave"
If the people had been consulted, as
suredly no such contraction would
have taken place. The result would be
far more Immediately disastrous were
it not for the extension of credits. "
Business men find that they cannot
collect their bills-nobody has money,
consequently, when it comes their turn
to make payments they are unable to
do 80. Consequently they have to ap-
ply to the banks for loans and dis
counts, the business of the country in
stead of being done IN a cash basis, is
done more and more on credit, and the
banks take their tolls on all SIDES
During the month of June, 1894, the
bank clearings Of eighty four principal
cities of the United States amounted to
s., 577, 954 547; for June, 1895, they
we're 81, 381, 7S5, O81. That is the banks
have had the handling of almost a bill
lion dollars more money this year than
last. There has been no 338 per cent.
increase in the volume of business.
Not by any means. But the banks
have done just so much mor business
and they are doubtless we'll satisfied
with their government. The fact that
all the productive industries of the
country have been crippled of course
does not affect them in the least.

EFFECTS OF OIL MEAL ON BUT,

Linseed oil meal tends to produce a
soft oily butter and to impair its fl Ivor.
Cotton seed meal tends to produce a
hard, crumbly butter, and is more OF
jectionable even than oil meal in the
matter of flavor. However, limited
quantities of either do not produce
very material damage, but do tend to
considerable increase in the product,

WASHING BUTTER.

I do not pretend to practice or to
know what is absolutely the best way
to manage a dairy or to handle dairy
products, but I do know what practices
prevail among the most successful but
ter makers of my acquaintance, and it
is Of these that I write. AS to washing
butter 1 do not know of a single maker
of gilt edge butter who dO6 s not wash
the butter. Toe objects of washing are
to remove the butter milk and tn harden
the butter. The latter effect is produced
by a small quantity Of cold water ad q
just after the butter has come. After
the cold water is added, the churn
should be agitated or turned a few
times, then the buttermilk drawn off.
After this, when the butter seems to
have given up all Of its milk, add about
half as much water es there is butter
milk and give a few turns of the churn.
and the pure water will have changed
almost to the color of milk. l think
the best practice is to repeat the wash
ing until the water comes off clear.
have often found that when the water
came off almost clear, the addition Of
q small quantity of salt so as to make
brine, would bring out consid
e eSay more buttermilk. Hence / have
the PSGo the practice of using brine fol-
of seitinl washing, not for the purpose

FOR THE SHOOTERS
The Gun Club Decides to Hold a State
Tournament.
GOOD PURSES ARE OFFERED
Without an Effort the Boys Raise
Lots of Money 1t VIII Be the
Top Event of the Year
in Sporting Circles.

The Anaconda Rod and Gun club
members have decided to hold a state
tournament for all devotees of the shot
gun and trap. The dates have been
fixed for June q. % and %. and a COM
mittee is now soliciting funds for
prizes. The merchants and sportsmen
of the town so far called upon have
responded generously, and by to-day
enough money win have been raised
TO guarantee $500 in purses. This is
five times as much as was offered in
the Butte tournament. and is as much
money as Spokane posted and drew
shooters from all over the Northwest.
This amount will give the entries some
thing worth striving for and it is ex-
pected that this tournament win be
the best ever held in Montana.
There will be all kinds of shooting
blue rocks and live birds. singles and
doubles. known and unknown angles,
team shoots and championship shoots.
The club range is one Of the best in
the state, and the accommodations for
entertaining visitors are OF the very
best. II is expected that about 300
people, sportsmen and their friends will
be in attendance.
