was observed and chronicled by Capt.
lying near cliff of ice, 500 feet or more
in height, he saw a vast berg some 1900
feet in length and 100 feet in height
break off from the ice cliff and fall
with terrific conclusion into the, wa.
ter. When the berg assumed its level
the observers saw, to their astonish'
ment, protruding from the ice a huge
whale of che sulphur bottom variety
1t was over 200 feet above the mast
head of the ship, standing out in bold
relief, presenting marvellous specta'
Gle and arousing much comment among
the superstitious sailors, who consid-
cred it little less than miracle that a
whale should be seen in such posi-
ton. '.''e~'.'
The whale had in some way been inn
prisoned in the berg, and was frozen
solid, e portion breaking off and falling,
which the whalers secured. How old
the specimen was they could form no
idea. Mammoth meat has, been pre-
served this way for thousands of years,
and it was assumed that the whale was
very old The flesh was so perfectly
pa csorved Undt lie men fTie,. - eight
or ten barrels of oil from it, and the
birds, bears and other animals" fed for
a long time on its remains, which were
left on the ice. Some whalers found
the skeleton and some of the flesh of a
large whale on Ragged island 90 feet
or more from high-water mark, and a
mile and half from the water.
1t is easy to understand how large
whales are now resting on the SUBMITS
of mountains where the earth has been
thrown up in huge ridges and the sea
turned back, but how whales in
the flesh could be conveyed there
was a puzzle to many. 1t is, how
ever, easily accounted for. Thus, the
ship Sheerwater sighted in the Antarctic
waters large berg in which, 1000
feet from the water, was whale, near
ly all of It's body standing out in bold
relief. The explanation was that about
a certain island near the south pole a
wall of ice had formed, down upon
which snow from the neighboring cliffs
had blown and accumulated, pushing
the ice down deeper and deeper, until
finally, by sinking, 1t was 100 or 200
feet thick. Onto this submerged ice field
a large whale was blown or washed, be-
coming encased in ice and slowly fro
zen III. Finally an off-shore gale de-
tached the ice-feld and it blew off as
a berg and broke up. The lower por-
ton melted, and finally the ice tipped
over and the embedded whale was car
ried 200 or 800 feet beneath the surface.
BY melting and other losses the berg
again turned, and the great ice noun
tain was soon rising grandly in the air
with the whale projecting from ito
puzzle to those who were not familiar
with the various methods of ice forma-
ton in the Antarctic islands

xNurE NELSON'S LUCK.


Minnescta's New Senator Has Had Re-
markabIe Career.
Knute Nelson has had varied career
and a wide experience. He was born
in Norway February 2, 1s43, was
brought to the United States in ls49,
received an academic education, studied
law in the Office of William f. Villas at
Madison, Wis, and entered the prac-
tice soon after the war closed, but the
course of events had already made him
a soldier and politician. At the out
break of the civil war he enlisted in
the Fourth Wisconsin infantry and
served through the war as private and
noncommissioned officer. In the stir
ring times of Wisconsin politics, just
after the war, he took an active part,
was member of the state legislature
in 1859, and then located in Douglas
county, Mimi, where he was prose-
cutting attorney in 1924. He was for

POLITICS IN TOWN GOVERNMENT.
The Evils Of Partisanship rs Great as Dis
honest Officials.

The Evils Of Partisanship rs Great as Dis
honest Oficials.
Reform In town government can new
or be accomplished until politics and
municipal administration are absolutely
divorced. says the Chicago Record. Not
an instance can be cited on the globe
of a we'll governed municipality that Ia
governed politically, and so long as men
who favor good government are parti-
sans in local politics bad men and bad
methods will always work their way
Into Office.
1t matters little how ardently a man
may favor a better condition of things
in a town or city. II he is governed in
casting his vote by the idea that the
candidate Of his party is a better man
than his opponent on the other ticket,
for this reduces an election to the mere
taking Of the least of two evils. Neither
party desires the nomination Of a man
who will not contribute to the strength
of his party In the county or state, and
however good a man he may be he will
do nothing that will injure his party in
babO POAApiOo. ~ OdAoO "a WY SOFOhh
ment is not so much bad and dishonest
officials as party politics. And a thor
oughly competent, conservative and ju-
dicious mayor finds himself hampered
and his good intentions negatived by
party demands. He will record his
solemn oath to enforce the laws. but for
the sake of party supremacy he will fail
to respect his oath. So dominant is this
partisan spirit that o great movement
for reform too often comes under the
control of one or the other of the lead
ing parties, its political character soon
becomes apparent, and members of other
political organizations leave it. Then 1t
o 10 goes to pieces or becomes a wheel
of the party machine, and its usefulness
as a remedial agent is gone. If parties
were aotuated by the spirit back Of these
reform movements, no harm would re-
suit. but they are governed by expedi-
ency rather than high morals.

Rebekah DeSroe Notes.
Tho returns from tho lodges and en-
equipments of Massachusetts show that,
though there has been "A gain in member
ship during the lastterm, tho increase has
been much less chan usual in late years.
Many Of tho older lodges especially have
felt tho effect OF tho hard times very keen,
" and show small losses in membership.
Several new lodges viii, however, report
for the first time and help to keep the bal
ance on the right side Of the account.
No better evidence Of life and spigit In
the Rebekuhs could be required than tho
number of new lodges Of thai branch be-
ing started.
Sister M. f Rea, eE-presideut of the ma
tional Rebekah convention, and who has
recently been doing efficient work in Ar
kansas, has been forced by the inability
Of the jurisdiction to meet the expenses to
give up her work.
Woman is especially fitted for the grand
work that Is the foundation stone of the
order and has demonstrated that she can
and does take more interest in the lodge
and does better work than the average
brother.
The first Rebekah lodge In Tennessee
was instituted 20 years ago by the then
Grand Sire Il. D. F~arnsworth. There Is
now talk of u Rebekah assembly in that
state.
The Rebekah branch is prospering, and
an unusual number of now lodges are be-
ing organized.
There are 20 lodges in Allegheny coun-
ty, Pa.
The good work that has been wrought
by the Rebekah branch OF Odd Fellowship,
which may be considered the pioneer effort
of tho ladies in tho work of fraternity, has
taught other orders the value of the CO.
operation of the wives and daughters of
the members.

fore the fire and thinking about doing

THEIR WORK ABOUT DONE
The Relief Committee Preparing TO Turn
Over the Trust.
SOME UNJUST COMPLAINTS
The Money Left on Hand VIII Be
Turned Over to the Mayor of
Butte, Who Will Be Asked to
Mama a New Committee.

BUTTE, Feb. 16.-The relief committee
10 preparing to settle up its affairs. To-
morrow the committee will visit all the
families who lost their main support by
the explosion and find out what supplies
they will need to keep them up to March
L. This will be the final date on which
relief Will be given in this way. Supplies
sufficient to keep the families I'D to that
date will be furnished.
All orders must be in by Monday, as tho
committee desires to settle up all accounts
at once. No moro orders will be given.
All physicians bills and hospital bills
must be sent in ut once and will be set
tied at once.
The total receipts of the committee
have been about $4,000, besides some
5000 for the families of the firemen
alone, which was distributed to them in
cash. There is about S29, 900 left on hand,
and 1t is expected there will be SOS, 900 left
in cash, after all bills are paid, and the
families supplied up to March l, when the
period of temporary relief may be over
After that it remains to be decided what
disposition will be made of this money
1T II is distributed in bulk at once il will
only be short time before some, at least,
of the families will be on the county.
1T the fund is distributed at n certain
ratio per family the money will last
longer but will eventually be gone. The
committee proposes to turn over the S25, y
OOO to the mayor and let him appoint a
committee TO attend to the distribution.
There is naturally n good deal of unjust
criticism of the committee which is doing
remarkably well. To-day complaint was
made to the committee that certain
sufferer could get no help and the neigh
bors had to chip in to pay her rent. The
was shown the books. which
showed that the committee had paid her
rent and that the woman mad received in
all SlOo from the relief committee. III
There nave been many similar reports
equally unjust. 1t is true that some
have been refused some things that have
been asked for but no reasonable re-
quests have been refused. ~
The receipts from the benefit concert
given by the Boston & Montana band M
amounting TO S273, were turned over to-
Chairman Mueller of the relief commit
tee. There is still more or less money out
for tickets sold, which has not been turned
in. The Boston q Montana band boys
held a meeting last night at their hall and
q vote of thanks was rendered to all
those who so ably assisted them in the
concert, individually and collectively,
also to the committee appointed by Mayor
Dugan for their indefatigable efforts and
support.

of having been put up by colossal Jag

"Mattie Rooney" is made TO read in great
letters "Iieney" and Katie Rooney reads
"Katieroo." A woman's limbs are fitted

the whole display looks like frightful
nightmare.
Crowds stood around the bill boards all
day and stared and people asked each
other for the key to the puzzles. Men
with jags stopped and looked and shiv-
cred and walked away muttering, Got

allowed TO remain, for when the COM

BUTTE, Feb. 16.-On the night of the ex-
plosion there was picked up near the
wreck broken and battered gold watch.
1t reached the hands of the police, and
mention of the watch was made several
times in the papers, but no claimant ap.
peared for the watch. The timepiece was
completely riddled, and had evidently
been struck by a rabble head and struck
hard. The watch could, of course, be of
no value except as a relic, unless it could
he melted up for gold. The watch was
examined by Harry Blumkin and the
number decIphered.
To-day Fred Enright appeared as
claimant for the watch and il was turned
over to him by City Marshal McNichols.
The watch had been the property of his
brother. j. j. Enright. fireman on switch
engine No. IA of the Great Northern. En-
right was killed. The fact that no claim
ant for the watch had appeared led to the-
fear that some man might have lost his
life besides those on the known list. The
identification of the watch removes that
fear.
