en- out the Stacked sheet Nothing can
be pushed before the wind any faster
than the wind itself travels, consequent
iy we cannot go faster than ten knots
an hour, because the wind itself does
not exceed that rate. But as soon as
turn the boat around until she is point
ing partly into the wind the speed is
increased to an extraordinary extent"
Must, YOU not then be going faster
than the wind?" the doctor was asked.
Precisely SO. And that's the state
ment which so few people Will believe"
But how much faster than the wind
can an iceboat travel?"
That Is a very interesting question.
and one that has not, so far as know,
been scientifically ascertained. Here
as you see, we can only go about ten
Knots an hour on ten-knot breeze, but
when heading partly into it I can GER
ta1nly go twice as fast as the wind in
sailing twenty miles an hour: and as T
nave been going at over thirty miles an
hour this afternoon I feel safe in saving
that have trebled it. Beyond this it
Is merely guesswork, and I prefer the
conservative estimate; but, although I
may be wrong, 1 think this boat has
Deen today travelling at least forty miles
an hour on the. same breeze
III that is so we have been moving
four times faster than the speed of the
wind which moves us. But 1 don't
claim to be sure of this last statement.
! am only speaking from my best guess
ing. The explanation I can think of is
that when we run before the wind we
lose the weight and pressure of it by
noating away before it as lightly as a
thistle blossom. But when sailing
partly into the wind the sails do not
lose it's pressure, no matter how fast
the craft travels. s->4 essst tnta

OUTSTRIPPING THE WIND.
IcebOat Man Gave His Guests a Ride
and AstOnished Them.

New York Tribune
The owner of the iceboat then start
ed out on a short sail to prove wheth-
er or not the statement was correct
which said that an iceboat cannot
sail dead before the wind"
After the three guests were slowed
away under some thick rugs, the stern
skate which had been turned crosswise
during the stoppage was twisted more
into q line with the others, and then
the great sail filled, the stays, spars,
mast and the platform boat seemed to
all creak together as the strange affair
scudded over the ice. For the novice
there seemed to be no way of gauging
the speed, except that trees on the op-
posite shore seemed to grow in size at
an alarming rate.
Two or three tacks were taken, and
then the boat was turned dead before
the wind. Immediately she slackened
her pace. The great sail seemed un-
willing to fill out and the sheets had
no strain on them.
''Now," said the owner, II want to
show you that an iceboat can sail di-
rectly before the wind. Anything from
chicken house to a bootjack can sail
before the wind. What that writer
meant to say was that she does not in
this direction sail at her best speed.
This is point in the science of ice boat
ing which few people understand. You
see, there is so little friction or drag to
retard an iceboat that she easily tray-
els at almost, if not quite the same
speed as the wind. In fact, as you see.

in the calm tones of County Attorney

to realize that it was no play he was

law had it's grasp upon him. He
stepped to the bar his face drawn
with fear. No words were wasted.
Judge Russell in the shortest form
possible, sentenced the trembling
wretch to penal servitude for life. The

the murderer. and he was led away to
be taken at once to his long home in

The state board of pharmacy met at
the Butte hotel yesterday afternoon
and organized for the ensuing year by
electing Ennis Starr of Helena. presi-
dent; ID. NJ. Newbro of Butte. treasur-
er. and All Whitworth Of Deer Lodge.
secretary. These three gentlemen COM
prise the full membership of the board.
C. w. Shoemaker of Billings was a
member of the board last year. but his
term expired yesterday and Mr.. Whit
worth took his place and will serve for
three years. Mr.. Starr will serve for
another year and Mr. Newbro for two
years
After the election OF officers a resolu-
ton was adopted to the effect that the
board will not hereafter recognize di-
plomas from colleges of pharmacy or
certificates of registration from other
states, and that every person who
wishes to practice pharmacy i'm Mon
tana in the future must come uD for
examination. one of the reasons for
the adoption Of this seemingly strin-
gent rule is that the boards of pharma-
cy I'm some states refuse 10 recognize
certificates issued by Montana's phar-
maceutical board and the latter gentle
men decided not to take any chances
on recognizing "a board which would
not recognize them. Another reason is
that there are so many colleges of
pharmacy of questionable reputation
that IL would be an exceedingly difficult
undertaking to sift the good from the
bad. and IL was thought best to recog-
nize none of the colleges. BY this
means holders of worthless diplomas
will be barred out, while graduates of
frst-class colleges will have no trouble
in passing the examination.
After the adoption of this resolution
the board adjourned until o'clock this
morning when the examination viii
commence in room A Of the Butte hotel
annex. About 20 candidates had ar
rived up to last evening and II Is ex-
pected that several more will come In
this morning. Among the candidates Is
Miss Eva j. Clark of Big Timber. who
is the first female druggist i'm Mon
tana. There are very few lady drug
gists In the country, and as Montana
needs one of them in order to keep In
the front rank of the procession, and
as the members of the examining board
are all very gallant gentlemen, Miss
Clark's certificate is about as good as
made out already.

DETAILS OF THE TIME CARD

The details Of the Northern Pacific's
new time card, which will go into effect
next Sunday, and under which the
double train service will be restored,
were received at the local Office of that
road yesterday. AS already stated in
the Standard the fast trains will run
through Butte and they will be flyers.
AS very fast time is to be one of the
features of these trains. Ii was decided
to run them by way of Butte for the
reason that the distance between Lo-
gan and Garrison is two miles shorter
than by way of Helena, and the grades
are much easier, so that the danger of
delay will be reduced to the minimum
No. 2, the Twin City Mail" the fast
eastbound train, will arrive in Butte at
2:30 a. m. and will leave the Montana
Union depot at 2:40 a. m, arriving in
St. Paul the following day at 5:55 p.
m. and making close connections for
eastern, southern and Canadian points.
This train will make the run between
Butte and st. Paul in 80 hours and Is
minutes, which is more than four hours
faster than the present time. No. 1,
the fast train from the east, which is
to be known as the Puget Sound
Mail" will meet No. at the mountain
transfer and will reach Butte at ESQ a.
m. and depart from the Montana Union
depot 10 minutes later. These trains
will stop only at the most important
points.
No. s, which will carry a through car,
will leave the Northern Pacific depot
daily at 11:40 a. m, and will connect
at Bozeman with No. 4, arriving in St.
Paul the second morning at 7:10 and
getting close eastern connections. This
train will make the run to st. Paul in
43 hours and 30 minutes, which is only
5 minutes slower than the present
time.
No. 8 will leave the Montana Union
depot at 2:40 p. m. and will connect at
Garrison with the overland No. 8.
Trains No. and will stop at all
points. The fast trains will connect at
Billings with the Burlington road.
which is also putting on a new fast
train each way.

train from St. Paul at 1870 a. m. yes

the Worst OF t
From the Butte Inter Mountain, Tues
day.
Mayor William Thompson takes
very cheerful view of the result of the
municipal election yesterday, and says
he cannot understand what the demo-
cratic organs are Growing SO much
about. He has been quoted as saying
that the zeal and over-officiousness of
some of the ward workers who were
aspirants for political honors next fall
were in part responsible for the defeat
of the republican candidates especially
in the Seventh ward.
What do you think of the election
yesterday" asked an Inter Mountain
reporter to-day.
1T suits me all right" replied the
mayor with a pleasant smile. I'VE
have 10 republicans yet in the coun-
Gill;"
do you consider it an endorsement
of the administratio
Il consider it so, and / don't care a
darn what others think either" said
the mayor with the same smile and
trifle more vehemence.
Then how do you account for the
detection of the English-American
voters in certain wards?" persisted the
reporter.
"Oh, that is easily explained" said
his honor. There was a Cornishman
up in the Second ward and they all
voted for him, even If he was a dem
ocrat. Very often in cases of that
kind the Cornishmen care nothing for
party and they went In to elect one of
their own nationality yesterday and
succeeded. They didn't count much in
the other wards"
Did you make the remark attribu-
ted TO you by the Standard this morn
ing relative to the Inter Mountains
support of the ticket?" fr
Il made no such remark" said the
mayor warming up, It's all a darn lie
That paper will say anything to suit

that some of the things printed by the

ton helped to cause the defeat of yes

The Butte fire department held it's an
nual meeting for the election OF officers
at the Central fire station last night.
There was an attendance of about %. in
GLIDING both the paid and volunteer fire
men, and the following officers were elect
ed: President, Edgar Dayton; vice pres
ident, Phil Tucker; secretary. John

Allen and A. ]. Werner. Financial COM
mittee, Louis Frank, James White, NJ. f..
Hotchkiss. Relief committee, Gus Hess.
A. ]. Werner. Charles Carleton. Chief A.
]. Werner and Captain Fred Dugdale
were unanimously recommended for reap
pointment by thu mayor and confirma-
ton by the new council. The monthly
report of the treasurer showed a balance
of s96.75 in the general fund and s42145 in
the relief fund. Chief Werner's report
showed that there were nine fires during
March. The total loss was s2.205, which
was covered by insurance aggregating
$4,000. The volunteers were paid Sl2 for
attendance at fires for is hours during the
month. An appropriation of $25 was made
from the relief fund for A. j. Swift, who
was badly injured in the memorable dyna-
mite explosion
motion was then made to appropriate
$50 from the general fund for the relief of
Mrs. Sam Ash. whose husband was one of
the tiremen who were killed in the explo-
sion. She opened a lodging house and
was burned out a few days ago, losing
everything she had. The extent of the
opposition to the appropriation for such
a worthy cause was surprising. Phil
Tucker led the opposition and argued that
although Mrs. Ash has a small baby she
is able to work for her living. A motion
to reduce the appropriation to s25 resulted
in tie vote of to s. and the president.
