the opinion which has been expressed
here ever since the Standards bulle-
tins announced the decision of the SUI
preme court. Mr.. Dickinson is well
known here and those who are famil-
lar with the situation are positive that
his attitude during the recent faction
al strife is certain to result in his de-
capitulation.
AS for the local situation. there is no
change. The state of affairs and OF
public sentiment is exactly as stated
in the Standard to-day. Business men
express indignation over the utter
ances of the local morning paper in
which judge Jenkins is so rudely IN
suited. The statement made in the
paper in question by no means ex-
presses the sentiment of the commun-
ity and business men object strongly
to being placed in such an absurdly
false position

lean.
A few days ago Tippo, a dog belong
ing to Mrs. John Hull of Detroit, died
Mrs. Hull was very fond of the brute
and decided to give ii a Christian bur-
ial in her parents family lot here. She
had the remains of the dog encased in
: a $50 rosewood casket, which was high
ly' ornamented and lined with white
satin. silver plate bore the dogs
name. When the casket reached here
a. local undertaken, who had been noti-
fed, conveyed the casket to his estab-
lfshment. When Mrs. Hull arrived.
she found that the flowers, which had
entirely covered the casket, had wilted,
and she straightway bought a fresh
supply. Then she applied to the COM
missioners of Oakview cemetery for a
permit TO inter the dogs remains there.
They told Mrs. Hull that there would
be no dog funeral in that cemetery.
She begged and pleaded, but Ii was of
no use, and the remains of the dog
will probably be inferred in some city
lot. as none of the other cemeteries will
have 1t, and the undertaken is getting
tired of keeping the remains. Mrs.
Hull is distracted with grief that her
sensible request, as she calls it. should
be denied.

Philipsburg, Jan. 31.-The Portland
Oregonian has this TO say about John
Boyd's arrest in the Oregon city:
John Boyd, who claims to be
hack driver, who arrived in Portland
Monday evening from Philipsburg,
Mont, is now in custody at the central
police station, under arrest for rob-
berry committed before leaving his Mon
tana home.
BOYD is charged with stealing sew
eral diamond rings, valued at $500, and
a gold locket and chain. Sheriff l.. c.
johnson, learning the probable direc-
ton taken by Boyd on leaving Philips
burg, wired to Chief Mimic a full de-
scription of the fugitive and the stolen
property. Yesterday Boyd was about
the city, trying to dispose of the dia-
monds, and the pawnshops were select
ed by him as a good place to get rid of
his plumber, without having too many
questions asked him concerning it.
While so employed, Detectives Griffin
and Holsapple spotted the man they
and others of members of the detective
force were seeking, and he was prompt
ly put under arrest.
AT the central station, the diamonds
were found on the prisoner, but he had
disposed of the locket and chain. Boyd
was considerably disconnected over his
arrest. and does not talk much. He
had no money on his person when
searched at the station, and said he ex-
pected he would have to go back and
face the music. Chief Mimic yesterday
received a telegram from Sheriff john
son that an officer would leave Helena
tomorrow with the necessary requisi-
ton papers to take Boyd back to Phil

Created "a Sensation.

Created "a Sensation.
From Notes and Queries.
The great popularity of the waltz gave
rise to many disputes whether the dance
came from La Sauteuse" or Vote or
the German national dance, the "Laend-
ler," whence 1t made it's way to Vienna,
and was introduced in the opera Una
Casa Rare" By and by it found its way
to France. DIR. Burney saw 1t produced
in Paris in $780, and remarked:
How uneasy an English mother would
feel to see her daughter so Familiarity
treated and still more to note the oblig-
ing manner in which the freedom is re-
turned by the females"
Crabb Robinson witnessed one at
Frankfort in 1900 and afterward de-
sctibed 1t in his diary thus:
1.-THE man places the palms of his hands
gently against the sides of his partner
not far from the armpits. His partner
does the same. and instantly, with as
much velocity as possible, they turn
round and at the same time gradually
slide around the room"
BY the directions given in the Com
plete Dancing Master" ii was the custom
at Almacks for only one or two qua
drilles land subsequently waltzes) to be
danced at the same time, and thus IL be-
came a matter of exhibition, the whole
company standing on benches to view the
performance.
Raikes in his journal declares that mo
event ever produced such great sensa-
tion in England as the Introduction of the
German waltz" by Baron Neuman and
others in 1873
How profound was its popularity is
proved by the existence of Lord Byron's
diatibe:

And by the fact that it supplied the til

enford also wrote a farce called "A

that we of the present day cannot under
stand the commotion which it at first
created.
