A Novel Combat.

They are telling good one on
Col. Root, the timber inspector, who
is known all over Montana. The
colonel went over to Lewstown last
week and was warmly received and
highly entertained. Lewistown is a
long way from the railroad and they
do things somewhat primltlvely over
there: but their hearts are all right.
Soon after his arrival the colonel
was informed that his visit was most
timely, as there was to be fight be-
tween young bull dog and a bad
ger that promised to be dead game
throughout Both animals had been
tried and had fighting qualities to a
finish. Now if there is anything
that the colonel, who is from Virgin
ia, really loves, it is cock or a dog
fight, and he so expressed himself.
When the time for the combat ar
rived the whole male population OF
Lewistown was present, and large
number of women. The dog sal
quietly in a ring formed for the pur
pose, while under box, tethered by
a rope, reposed the badger. The
word was given to ''turn 'em loose
when the man with the rope in hi
hand quietly asked the colonel if he
would not hold the badger, while h'
tipped up the box The colonel o
course agreed, and upon being tolC

Helena For the Capital.

The capitol site commission made
their deciding and final ballot upon
the site Friday afternoon, and Sc
lected the Whine tract. The ballot
stood: Ellis, Tascott, and Davidson
for, and Leavitt and Edgerton
against. There is much rejoicing
among the advocates of the success
ful site and the result seems to give
general satisfaction.
The Whine tract lies in the east
ern part of the city near the Lenox
suburb. 1t has good elevation and
commands splendid view of the
city and environs.

THE COUCHA-COUCHA.
A Dance Instituted in Court to Ava.
ken a Drowsy Jury.

Six sleepy jurymen at Coney Is
land gasped when they saw the
coucha- coucha dance in Justice
Steers police court Wednesday, and
while they admitted that it was very
interesting they were certain that it
was immoral.
The dancing came about through
the arrest of Abedela Cada, Maselle
Fradana, Omene Adrian and Lizzie
Smith, who were doing the dance du
ventre in various Coney Island thea
ters. Lizzie Smith is Chicago
Turk and the others are real A ger
ians.
Detective Nachries, who made the
arrests volunteered to give an imita
ton of the dance. He tied himself
into seven kinds of knots without
music. The imitation was said to be
good, but did not serve to waken
the jurors.
Then Nine. Cada threw off her
voluminous white silk mantle and
stood forth in her red Turkish trous-
ers. She threw herself into the evo-
lutions of the coucha- coucha with
abandon, writhing and twisting,
while her red eyes sparkled with
animation. 1t is said that she never
danced better. The affair lasted IL
minutes when the justice called a
halt The juIymen were willing to
continue the performance indefinite
". They returned verdict OF
guilty and the ladies were fined S2J
each, with the exception of Lizzie
Smith, who was discharged.

The Worlds Oldest Man.

The oldest man in the world, it is
said, is citizen of Bogota, in the
Republic of San Salvador. He de-
clares that he is 1856 years old, but
from the tales his neighbors and re-
latives tell, he is much older than he
claims to be.
He is half-breed Indian and
Spaniard, and his name is Michael
Soils. He lives with an old planter
named Louis Hernandez, who is him
self eightynine years of age. Hern-
andez says that as long ago as he
can remember old Michael was
known as a man far past the century
mark. 1t has also been ascertained
direct from the records that ''one
Michael Soils, man now l20 year:
of age" contributed ten days work
toward building the Franciscan con
vent, which was erected IN 1872. l.

The Katie Smelter.

1t is stated that the Katie com
pany will build a smelter in connect
ion with the concentrator which will
soon replace the one burned at Basin
recently. The company got no cred

the place where they were treated
thus subjecting them to consider

Lead Production.

A bulletin by the geological sur

first six months Of 1885 was: Total,
100000 tons, of which $4,000 tons
was desilverized lead and $4,000 soft
lead.
Seventeen thousand five hundred
tons of this was refined in bond, the
remainder being obtained from
American base bullion. The total is
an increase of $4,000 tons over the
first six months of 1894, and 5000

WILLING TO SELL.
Great Falls Water Company Offers
the Plant to the City.

A proposition was submitted by
the Great Falls water works com
pany to the council Saturday night.
After discussion it was decided that
the entire couucil meet the water
works company on Tuesday evening
and consider the matter The pro-
position submitted by the company
is as follows:
"The present owners of the Great
Falls waterworks and franchise. pur-
chased the same about three years
ago and paid for the plant nearly
double what it had cost to construct
it up to that date
s'l'he purchase was made, based on
the earning capacity of the plant at
that time and with the expectation
that Great Falls would increase very
rapidly in population and that the
revenues Of the plant in the near
future would make the purchase of
the same a safe and profitable invest
ment.
''In order to keep pace with the
rapid growth of the city and to place
the plant in such shape that it could
! beyond doubt, meet all of the re-
t-uuirements of the franchise and the
wants of the people and city, the
present owners have purchased a
new pumping engine and boiler and
erected the same, laid "A new eight
and lO-inch main out into the Bos-
ton and Great Falls addition and
have purchased the pipe necessary tc
lay rs inch main from our pump,
inr station to connect with the mains
in the city.
"With the completion of the above
improvements and the purchase OF
a high duty pumping engine the
plant will have a capacity suflicien
to supply at least 10000 people will
', no further expense for betterment
except the laying of a few small la
r tera mains as the city increases il
size.
,, ''Up to this time the plant has no
paid one. cent of dividends, the pro
fits having all been invested in ex
tensions and betterments to tn
plant.

about completed and the plant is o'

The Story of Brook Farm.

Brook Farm is place of mysteries,
with all its sunny meadows, bowery
hills and happy birds, writes Hezekiah
Rutterworth in Ladies Home Journal,
in sketch of the place made famous
by Hawthorne, Alcott, Curtis, Dana and
Ripley. There is no mystery perhaps in
the psychic life of America greater than
how so many young enthusiasts of like
heart. mind and faith should have found
themselves here 90 or more years ago.
They were all, apparently, disciples of
Emmanuel Kant, all Fourierites, all
social reformers. They were all destined
to become famous. They were the elect
of life, but at that time they knew it
not. They were for the most part poor.
Professor George Ripley, who was
content to be poor if he could do good In
the world, was the leader of these gen.
tie philosophers. He did good and be-
came rich George William Curtis was
there; Charles A Dana, now editor of
the New York Sun; Brownson, who be-
came editor of The Catholic Review;
Dwight, who did much for music in
America in Dwight's Journal of Music
Bronson Alcott made his social expert
ment at Fruitlands, but, like Emerson,
was in touch with Brook Farm. Many of
the afterward philanthropists of Boston
were there, of whom but few now re-

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes
pure, rich blood, and to gain in blood is
nearly always to gain in aoAolesonae flesh up
to the healthy standard.
Every one should have a certain surplus
of flesh to meet the emergencies Of sick
ness to resist the attack of consumption,
grip, malaria and fevers. Thin blooded
people are always getting sick, and none of
the organs of the body can get along with
out the food they require for work, which is,
pure blood. To gain and to keep strength
and flesh is the secret of health, usefulness
and happiness. With new blood and re-
freshed nerves confident feeling of return
ing health comes also.
Nervous manifestations, such as sleep
iessness, nervous debility and nervous
prostration are in nine cases out of ten "the

feed the nerves on pure rich blood the

WEATHER AND CROPS.

Contradictory Reports of the Effects
OF the Late North Winds.
Director Barwick of the State Weather
for the week ending on the 10th:
The average temperature for the week
ending Monday, June 10th, was: For
Eureka 54o, Fresno 7S0, Independence 700.
Los Angeles $50, Red Bluff 7s0. Sacra-
mento II, San Francisco 600. San Luis
Obispo go, and San Diego go.
As compared with the normal tempera-
ture, there is deficiency of heat OF one
degree at Eureka and Los Angeles and
two degrees at San Diego. while an ex-
cess of heat is reported at Fresno of five
degrees, Red Bluff six degrees, Sacra
mento nine degrees, and San Francisco
one degree.
There was no rainfall to an appreciable
amount at any point; There was a trace
at Eureka and Los Angeles. The de-
ticiency of rainfall was slight, as very
little if any rain falls at this season of the
year.
The reports from the various sections
are very contradictory as TO the effect OF
the north wind on crops. In some places
the grain is reported to be badly dam
aged by shrinkage, especially the late
sOwn grain, which had passed the milky
stage and was in the doughty state. This
was somewhat shriveled, while that
which was ripe and ready for the reaper
was more or less shattered out and heads
broken off by the high winds of the 7th
and Sth.
This north wind was much cooler than
usual for the season of the year, on ac-
count of so much overfiowed country
across which this wind had to pass. the
norther being so dry caused rapid
evaporation and as evaporation from
large bodies of water produces cold. it
necessarily made the wind cooler than
northerly winds usually are at this
season of the year.
Had the past season been one Of small
precipitation and little overflow in the
tule basins, then the present mortimer
would have done thousands of dollars
more damage than it has done at the
present time, for no doubt the effects of
the dry norther has been somewhat ex-
aggerated both as to effects on grain and
fruits.
Harvesting has begun at few points,
but il will be general in about ten days or
two weeks.
Hops are not damaged to any great ex-
tent by the worms in Mendocino County.
Grasshoppers are reported in Butte,
YubG and portions of Placer Counties.

the date so that the century could run
out its full course that there might be
some living who could say that they had
lived in two centuries. But the date is
settled. and Falb will not change it, SO
we have nothing to do but get our ascen-
sion robes ready. This time the general
smash up is to be caused by collision of
our globe with sundry erratic heavenly
bodies out for time and that are unable
to recover their bases or get out Of our
way. Dr.. Klein comes out in paper,
however, to assure US and give to faint
that the world and a comet might col
Tide; that there is a possibility Of that
happening, but that the chances are mill
ions in our favor to one against us. As
to striking the nucleus Of comet, our
chances are just as is to 2S1, 100000. if
we suppose the nucleus to be one-quarter
the diameter of our globe. This puts it
as if we were all to be hanged on given
day, on the drawing Of a marble marked,
from among 2Sl, 100000 unmarked. This
is very comforting, and as Klein is quite
as great a man as is Falb we may as we'll
go along and take the chances, especially
as we cannot help ourselves any way.
Still 1t will hurt no one to put his house
in order and keep it so at all times and
all the time, comet or no comet, Falb or
no Falb.
