ARMY NEWS.

REPORTED SPECIALLY Fob TIE LIGHT.
Captain Potter and Lieutenant
Crate have returned from court
martial duty at Fort Mcintosh.
In troop f, Fifth cavalry, the
following promotions have been
made: Corporal McFadden to be
sergeant, vice Birkenhauer, dis
charged; Wagner Evans to be
corporal.
There were three candidates for
enlistment at the post this morn
ing.
Light battery drill takes place
every morning on the lower parade
ground at nine o'clock,
The chief musicians OF bands
still continue without rank and
may be relieved from the position
of chief at any time and placed in
the ranks by order of the COM
handing officer of the regiment.
The members of the garrison
complain Of the continual disturb
ances raised nightly on Hood and
Vinton streets by the citizens of
that vicinity who keep up the
annoyance until the morning
hours; the presence of a policeman
is needed to correct these disturb
ances.
All hope of change Of troops in
this department has about been
abandoned for the present.
Advance sheets of the new army
regulation say that the regimental
commander will in future issue
the warrants to his non-commis-
stoned staff and that the reduction
to the ranks of these non COM
missioned officers is optional with
him.
General Bliss in his annual re-
port says of it is desired to reduce
| the number of assertions next year,
that can easily be accomplished by
offering an adequate reward for the
arrest Of this class of offenders"
"The fault is not the service, but
must be locked for on the outside.
Many young soldiers do not like the
restraint OF military life, and in
many cases long for home and its
surroundings. These things bear
harder on the American born coun-
try boy than any other class and
are almost the only cases that lead
thas class to desert"
The relative rank of sergeant
major has been revived for the
the benefit Of the regimental veter-
mary surgeon.
General Miles in his annual re.
port recommends that entire regi-
ments of the infantry be stationed
at the larger posts.
Captain Herman, judge advocate
of this department, says: GLOW
ever various the causes may be,
which compel men to desert, GER
tainty Of Apprehension is, beyond
question, the most effectual pre-
ventive. This preventive bel &
largely removed by the reduction
OF the reward paid for apprehen-
sion, an increase OF desertion has
naturally followed.

For Astronomical Research.

DR.. Isaac Roberts draws atten-
ton to a piece of useful astronom.
ical work which may be performed
by those who take a practical in
terest in the subject, namely, to
determine what changes, If any,
have taken place among the stars
in the regions photographed by
him at intervals during the past
eight years. In the first instance
it will only be necessary to CON-
pare the earlier photographs pub
iished in his well known "Photo-
graphs of Stars, Star Clusters, and
Nebula" with the new series now
appearing in Knowledge: but ar
rangements are being made which
will enable Investigators to refer
to glsss positives, or the negatives
themselves, to settle any doubtful
points. The photographs being en-
larged to the same scale, compare
tive measurements may readily be
made by means of "reseau" ruled
on glass, and a transparent pro-
tractor will enable position angles
to be determined. The scale OF
photographs is such that any
change of position exceeding three
seconds of arc may be detected by
careful measurements. "Thus, a
system of astronomical research
would be inaugurated that must
eventually add largely to existing

NOW Is THE TIME to look on
for the health. When the Air is chilly
the weather uncertain, and the winds
penetrating, the lungs require special
protection Our Lung Protectors are
comfortable barriers against cold and
colds. Considerations of health favor the
policy of lung protection, which is fur
nished by them. The thing with which
to barricade the lungs perfectly against
winter assaults is a Lung Protector. To
wear one will prolong your life, especial
ly if your occupation exposes you TO
seventies and dangerous changes OF
temperature.

ed double the amount of work form

busy at all times.
None but the best skilled miners and
laborers are employed and the highest
wages are paid. Mr.. Letter has paid
close personal attention to every detail
! of the business. and has surrounded
himself with men of experience and
recognized ability, incompetency and
! Incidence has been carefully wecded
out in every department and it is
doubtful if as good a body of workmen
could be found anywhere in the state.
the men has not been neglected, the

with books, late papers and card tables
is kept open until 10 o'clock at night
and the boarding house is second to

The electric light plant at the mill
has just been completed under the dir
ectiOn of Mr.. Poissant of the Montana
Electric Co., of Butte. The use of coal
oil is now entirely dispensed with, in
this item alone, the eos of the plant
will be saved in less than one years
time, to say nothing of the cleanliness,
convenience and extra brilliancy of the
electric light and the reduced exposure
to fire. The dynamo furnishes IS
Is candle power lights. 10 of which are
used in the mill.
Notwithstanding the vast improve
ments that have been made during the
past two years and the costly machin-
cry that has been added, the mine has
steadily reduced the vast debt with
which it was burdened when Mr..
Letter took charge, and unless some
serious and unlocked for reverses en-
barrass the company, the time is not
far distant when regular dividends will
be declared.
Nothing has been left undone, that
deep thought and labor would suggest
for the interest of the property. Mr..
Letter has proven himself a manager
of exceptional executive ability, not
content with directing affairs from his
office. but practically laboring in every
department of the works, at shoveling,
matchmaking, experimenting the
mine and running the engines. He has
served his time often in case of an
emergency running two and sometimes
three consecutive shifts without rest.
Such application and energy is
certainly deserving of success and
whether the success of the property is
realized or not, no one can ever cast
any reflections on the management of

Il couldn't for the life of mo see where
my chief and myself and the other boys in
the custom house were going to get any
part of the proceeds of these diamonds
They were Of course reported TO the Office
as confiscated, and their sale would duly
take place, but with the reptile son-in-law
getting AZ per cent as informer and Uncle
sam the other 90 ter cent as confiscator,
/ couldn't see where we'd get in. But my
chief, who was very intelligent man, bade
me be of good cheer. He had a plan which
he was confident would work.
At one of the sales which the custom
house periodically holds tho old Germans
diamonds were duly hawked off. We had
not seen either him or his daughter since
turned them loose on the wharf, although
we knew from the son-in-law that they
were at the house in New York, very much
overcome with their loss and the fear OF
being punished as smugglers, n fear which
he very much fed, by tho way, by telling
them some awful stories of what happened
TO people who were caught trying to beat
the custom house. The diamonds, when
sold II remember correctly, were taken
by Tiffany and brought between 80, GOO
and $1,000 The share due the informer
was over $4,000.
The amount due to the government
was turned over, and shortly following the
faithless son-in.law came skulking in to
get his share of the money.
Certainly, replied my chief,
you're the informer, and the moneys
yours. There is something over 81, 600

witnesses when IL Is paid over. will pay
IL To you any time when you bring your
wife and her sister and your father in-law
with you to see It done. i intend that
they shall witness this transaction and

The sonin-law informer crept away
and never returned. He couldn't face the

money possible. 1t was not lost, how
