Big Timber, Feb. 22.-Socially Big
| Timber has been unusually quiet this
week, about the only event worthy of
mention being the Bryant-Prather we'd
ding, which occurred at the home of the
brides parents Wednesday afternoon
Only a few of the nearest relatives and
! friends of the contracting parties were
present. 1t was generally conceded
that IL was going to be the leading So
clal event of the season, and such ii
was. Cut flowers has been received
| from Helena and the rooms of the
Prather mansion were exquisitely dec
Grated for the occasion, and promptly
at O'Clock p. m. ALI. Bryant led Miss
Kate Prather to the altar, where Rev.
j. w. Hannah. delivered an impressive
ceremony for the occasion| After the
ceremony sumptuous repast was serv-
ed, to which those present did justice.
Miss Prather is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. T. T. Prather. She is a hand
some and accomplished young lady,
and has many warm friends and ac-
quaintancCs in Big Timber. AS for Mr.
Bryant, he is an honest and industrious
young man of Cleveland, Ohio; a men,

Mr.. and Mrs. S. L. Bryant of this place

Elg Timber and Sweet Grass county
and enjoys the friendship of all his ac-
quaintances. The happy couple took
Thursday mornings east-bound express
for their new home in Cleveland, and
leave behind them host of friends,
who wish them a pleasant voyage over
the hymeneal sea.
The Misses Bessie and Edith Mirrieles

home last Monday night in honor of
their friend and guest, Miss Alice Rice,
of Myersburg. who has been visiting
with them for the past few days Only
a few of the young ladies' most inti-
mate friends were present, and after a
couple of hours had been consumed in
one round of pleasure and scientific
whist playing, refreshments were serv-
ed and the party broke up. The occasion
was a delightful social event and one
that will long be remembered by the
participants.

From the Spokane Spokesman.
few nights ago two well-known
young men about town spent the early
part Of the night in touching the high
spots.". There drinks were mixed and
by midnight they were in the same con-
dition, but more so. They became
separated, but along about O'Clock
in the morning they Unexpectedly met
at Riverside and Post. A rope that
hangs under the electric light at this
point casts a shadow that was dane

men looked at the shadow and then at
each other.

he leaned against the telephone pole.
I'll bess you ten dollars 'sh you can't
walk that shasshow."
I'm just bess shou that shyou can't"
Then there was a long argument
about everything under the skies ex-
cept the matter in hand. but IL was
finally ended in each betting the other
that he-the other-could not walk the
shadow. Then a new difficulty arose.
There was no one TO hold the stakes
or referee the bet. About this time a
poor, shivering tramp came around
the corner. Each made a dive for him
at once, and, after a good deal of talk
ing, explained the nature of the bet
He was not at all loath to hold the
stakes. and, standing one off behind the
other, to walk the shadow he lodged
down the street and has not been seen
since-just $50 ahead of the transaction

Livingston, Feb. 22.-Wfth the ush-

has been a marked decrease in this
city of society balls, club parties. etc,
and a correspondingly increased inter

spiritual. AS a result accessions have
been made to nearly all the churches.
At the Baptist church last Sunday the
rite of baptism by immersion was ad-
ministered to 20 converts; on the same
day the Methodist church received Is
members upon appreciation; and at
the Episcopal church on Wednesday
there were eight baptized and IL con-

cences.

NEW YORK JURY LAW.

A new jury law is in operation
in New York state as the result OF
the blocking of the courts by
criminal cases, especially notorious
cases. Exploitingsof criminal cases
in the newspapers and the con-
sequent opinions formed by the
public made it very difficult to find
Jurors without bias, and the object
of this law is to free the court from
the necessity of going through a
long selecting process. This work is
now performed by an official under
judicial authority, who makes list
of names, which, by the provision of
the act, must be at least 5000. He
examines them primarily for i'm
telligence, but also for the regular
qualifications of jurors. Each spe-
cial Juror shall have the following
qualifitions:
First. shall be a citizen of
the United States of at least ten
years standing and a resident of
the county.
Second. He shall be not less than
30 nor more than 20 years old.
Third. He shall be in possession
of his natural faculties and not in.
firm.
Fourth. He shall be free from
all legal exceptions, of good char
acter, of approved integrity, intel
ligent, of sound Judgment, able to
read and write the English Ian
guage understandingly, well in
formed, and he shall have an ade-
quate knowledge of the duties of a
juror.
The juror shall be drawn by lot,
but the trial court may, in its dis
cretion, set aside a juror at any
time before trial is begun.-EX.
