Livingston, May 6.--Just on the eve
OF the republican county convention, the
political heavens are filled with ominous
signs, omens and portents, which seem
to foreshadow a disrupted organization
in Park county. Murmurings OF dis
content and whisperings of brewing
evil fill the air. and indications are
numerous that the @. o. p. convention
In Livingston next Saturday will not
partake of the nature of a love feast;
the spirit of harmony will find no abid-
ing place there.
For years there has been a disaf-
fected element among the party and
the bitter incidence certain republi-
cans have time and again swallowed
has not been productive of good re-
suits. On the contrary. they have
grown tired of the course of treatment
prescribed by the eminent political
specialists of Park county and intend
TO seek a change. With great forbear-
ance and fortitude have they submit
ted to being patted upon the back as
regularly as election time came around.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Bozeman, May 6.-The local executive
board of the agricultural college has
been wrestling for some time with the
plans and specifications submitted by
seven different firms for the heating
and ventilating of the new college
buildings. A committee of Architect
j. c. Paulson. Walter Cooper and Prof.
A. NJ. Ryon was appointed by the
board to examine and report upon the
various systems presented and they
reported yesterday. deciding in favor
three systems so ably represented and
company of Boston, Mass. Besides the
Boston Blower company representative
there were two other engineers present,
C. l.. Plunkett of Salt Lake city and
James McAlear. representing B. f.
Sturteveant & Co. of Boston. With
three system so ably represented and
so similar in most ways il was difficult
for the board to make a Choice, there
being also the plans and specifications
from five other companies to examine.
The Boston Blower company's sys-
tenn consist of the necessary boilers
and engine and the immense blower,
which is to be located in the workshop.
This blower Is nine feet in diameter
and 81 inches wide. revolving $50 times
per minute and in that time driving
$4,000 cubic feet of air into the rooms
of the college buildings. That changes
the air every or 10 minutes. The
blower sends the air through an under
ground duct TO the main and chemical
buildings of the college. AS il enters
these buildings by branch pipes of gal
vanized iron ii is forced through large
coils of pipes. which are heated by
the waste steam from the boilers and
so the fresh air forced into the various
rooms carries also the heat which
warns the rooms.
The air enters the rooms at a point
nine feet above the floor and the vent
apertures are close to the floor, the
air going down, out at these, and then
all through one large chimney into the
open air again. Every room is supplied
with hampers by which the supply of
heat and air can be regulated. The
waste steam is all used and the engine
will supply power Tor rhe workshop
of the college.

While Tom Fitch, the orator and pol
itician, was practicing law in Tomb
stone, Arizona, he had occasion to visit
Phoenix. On the way there the stage
was held up by a lone highwayman,
who not only robbed the mail and ex-
press box, but searched all of the pas
sengers. The fellow found about 50 900
in the express box and Fitch lost 800,
besides a gold watch and chain. While
still in Phoenix the robber was cap
tured, and hearing that Fitch was in
town, sent for him. Fitch's face ap-
peared familiar, but the highwayman
had forgotten where he had seen II,

ter.

asked.

Fitch. "I'll defend you for $500. but I'll
agree to get you out and free on a writ
of habeas corpus for $500"
'All right, it's a CO."
The fellow told Fitch where his
money was concealed and the attorney
found it. As soon as he had it safely
slowed away in his gripsack he started
home for Tombstone and left the rob-
Der to take care of himself.
A couple of months later Fitch was
nearly frightened out of his wits to see
the robber walk into his office.

Fitch returned a moment later with
