SCHOOL TAX ELECTION.
1t Carries Answers to "the World" From
Banks on the Gold Reserve.

1t Carries Answers to "the WORLD from
Banks on the Gold Reserve.
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Bozeman, Jan. 6.-The election to-day for
the purpose OF deciding whether a special
school tax for $4,000 should be raised to
continue Bozeman's school for the coming
year. resulted in a victory for the board
of school trustees, the tax being granted
by a vote OF SAG for the proposition, with
but 233 against. Those favoring both sides
of the question worked hard. This Is a
representative vote and shows conclusive
zen's League of One Hundred, which OPP
posed this tax, has been broken.
The following telegram was received by
the national banks here to-day: I'VE to-
day ask all national banks whether, II the
president makes a call to replenish the
gold reserve. they will consider 1t pa
triotic duty to take the bonds at per
cent. basis? viii you invest. and to what
extent?
(signed) 1.-THE World"
In answer to this the Bozeman National
bank wired: "Our duty to our stockhold-
ers does not permit US to make per cent.
investments.
(Signed) Peter Koch. Cashier"
The answer of the Commercial National
bank was: I'VE believe IL a duty for
banks to take all the 3 per cent. bonds
the government may issue. thus increas-
ing the strength of the nation by allowing
its citizens to enjoy the interest accumu-
lations of its Indebtedness as in France.
We would take 5000 worth.
(Signed) Geo. L. Ramsay. Cashier"
Cashier Ramsay also said: 1T is pre-
sumed that any issue the government may
make could be placed throughout this
country. and IL would seem that the in
vestment would be a good one for banks,
particularly at this time, when they are
all carrying large cash reserves. a portion
of which they might put into bonds
which. though drawing a very low rate,
would be instantly convertible into mon
ey when needed and would be fully as
good as cash in hand. and besides, 1t is
probable that in two years the bonds
would be at a permium, thus paying a
good profit to the purchaser"

IN Louis XII"
Thomas Keene Displays the Qualities of
Great Actor.

Thomas Keene Displays the Qualities of
Great Actor.
Thomas Keene opened his Butte en-
gagement at Maguire's opera house
last night before the usual large au-
dience that greets him in Butte. The
play was Louis XII" and those who
failed to see Mr.. Keene in that charac-
ter missed one of the portrayals of char
acter. Mr.. Keene has long been recog-
nized as a great actor. and the cnar-
acter of the crafty, inscriptions and
villainous old monarch afforded him an
excellent opportunity of displaying to
advantage the qualities of a great act
or. In the representation of Louis
XII" the artist sinks his identify COM
pletely and becomes the aged, decrepit
character he represents in voice, move
ment and manner. 1t is not Mr.. Keene,
the actor, the audience sees, but Louis,
and alive for the time being in a past
age, as witnesses of scenes and events
that are supposed TO have taken place
in the reign of the crafty monarch, who
is the central figure around which the
lesser lights revolve. 1t Is that sort OF
stage representation which leaves its
impression on the minds of the specta-
tors, giving them someuning to remem-
Der and to think of long after the MINI
ic players have passed away. Such a
representation fulfills the requirements
of the legitimate stage in its mission
Ito hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to

mours was played by Mr. Henning very

up to the standard of Keene's compa-
mics. The play was well staged and

MANY RIOTERS MEET THEM

The Butte football team returned last
night from its three weeks trip along
the Pacific coast. and was met at the
Montana Union depot by an enthusiasts
tic delegation of "rooters," who wei
coined the boys home with rousing
cheers. ellis and Mcmillan were given
a most fiattering reception and all OF
the players were received in a manner
that must have caused a slight eleva-
ton in their bumps of self-esteem.
Everything considered the Buttes
acquitted themselves most creditably
on their trip. Although they lost the
great game with the Reliance, an all
California combination, the wet
grounds were largely responsible for
the defeat and the superiority of the
Butte team was proved four days later
when 1t defeated the Olympic team.
(which. with the addition of the Reli-
ance. Stanford and Berkeley stars. was
fully as strong If not a little stronger
than the Reliance combination. The
team won three of it's four games on
the trip and closes it's first year with q
record of IL games won out of 1b
played. The coast trip was not sue
cess financially, which was due to the
fact that three of the games were
played in heavy rain storms. The re-
ceipts from the four games were only
about 81, 300, while the expenses of the
trip were a little more than $4,000.
George b. Dygert, who captained the
Michigan university team in 1892 and
1898, and played with 1t in 1895, accom-
panied the team from San Francisco
He will locate here and be a member OF

suredly meet with a cordial welcome In
