MANY UNPAID BILLS.

Mr.. vogel Seems to Have Been Anything
but n Success as a Contractor.
Great Falls, Jan. 2.-The Central elv-
enue paving matter has been brought
up once more, and will probably be
dragged into court for final settlement.
More unpaid bills have been filed with
City Clerk Clark for labor and ma
terials furnished than the deferred
payments. held back by the city under
contract, will cover. p. B. Palmer of
Helena, who furnished Contractor Vo-
gel with money to pay the men in re-
turn for the warrants issued Vogel for
the work, now leaps to the front with
a claim for large sum, and he has in
his possession a general assignment
from Vogel of all warrants due the lat
ter. There is a difference between the
amount due Vogel on deferred pay
ments and the amount of the claims
filed, of nearly If not quite $4,000 The
contractors bondsmen are Helena men
and they will be held for the shortage.
but the city authorities will take no
chances in the matter and not issue
and more warrants to any one until
they are instructed to do so by the
court. Contractor Vogel received am
pie money for the work performed. In
fact, the amount paid for the paving
was large enough to have enabled him
TO have paid all bills and yet retained
quite a large sum as profit As paw
ing contractor he has been a most sue
cessful failure, and his record in this
particular city is anything but credit
able.

New York. Jan. 2.-The hrst business
day of the new year on the New York
stock exchange was not especially con-
spicuous in any particular. duliness ex-
cepted In common with all OF the other
financial markets stock speculation was
contracted by the expectation Of the new
government bond issue and by the none
aary condition that allows of the importa-
tion and expectation of gold at the same
time and at profit In either transaction.
OF course the import of gold and the
premium now reported TO be ruling on
yellow metal are made profitable only on
account Of the forthcoming bond issue.

The Suns Light a Myriad Host of Bea
of Carbon.

The Suns Light Myriad Host of Bead
of Carbon.
We can now understand what hap
pens as the bouyant carbon vapors
soar upwards through the SUMS atmos-
phere. They attain at last to an ele-
walton where the fearful intensity Of
the solar heat has so far abated that,
though nearly all other elements may
still remain entirely gaseous, yet the
exceptionally refractory carbon begins
TO return to the liquid state. At the
first stage in this return. the carbon
vapor conducts itself just as does the
ascending watery vapor from the earth
when about to be transformed In to a
visible cloud. Under the influence OF a
chill the CARBON vapor collects into a
myriad host of little beads of liquid.
Each of these drops of liquid carbon In
the glorious solar clouds has a temper
ature and a corresponding radiance
vastly exceeding that with which the
filament glows in the incandescent
electric lamp. When we remember
further that the entire surface of our
luminary is coated with these clouds,
every particle of which Is intensely lu-
aninous, we need no longer wonder at
that dazzling brilliance which, ever.
across the awful gulf OF ninety three
millions of miles, produces for us the
fndescribable glory of daylight

lincoln a. Greer. Clerk at New salem.

Lincoln as a CrDcer's Clerk at New Salem.
The precise date of the opening of
Denton Offut's store Is not known. We
only know that on July s, 1881, the
county commissioners court of Sanga-
mon county granted Offut a license to
retail merchandise at New Salem; for
which he paid S.. a fee which supposed
him to have 81 900 worth of goods I'm
stock. When the oxen and their driv-
ers returned with the goods, the store
was opened in a little log house on the
brink of the hill. almost over the river.
The frontier store filled a unique
place. Usually IL was a general
store" and on its shelves were found
most of the articles needed in a COM
munity of pioneers. But to be a place
for the sale of dry goods and groceries
was not its only function; IL was a ki'~i
of intellectual and social center. 1t was
the common meeting place of the farm
ers. the happy refuge of the village
loungers. No subject was unknown
there. The habitues of the place were
equally at home in talking politics, re-
ligion. or sport. Stories were told,
jokes were cracked and laughed at, and
the news contained in the latest news
paper finding its way into the wilder
ness was discussed. Such a store was
that of Denton Offutt. Lincoln could
hardly have chosen surroundings more
favorable TO the highest development
of the art of storytelling, and he had
not been there long before his reputa-
tion for drollery was established.

The best trick Of the season vas per-

wasn't long until some one made the
''horrible discovery" that the body OF an
infant child was In the pond. In few
moments the place was surrounded by
dozens Of weeping and horror stricken
people. At this juncture, +. w. Royal,
who was getting shaved, jumped out OF
the barher's chair and with the Iather
still dripping from his face he plunged
madly into the water and gently brought
the little body 10 the surface. IL hisex-
citement he did not discover what IL was
until he carried 1t clear ont on the bank I,

they sent up q roar that is still reverher-
ating in the valleys over there. Justice
Donaldson had gone out TO Jed Browns

never ate, and therein lies bis greatest
kick. Some one told him to hurry 70
town, that he was wanted TO hold AN in
quest, and 10 the rush to get there he al
most ran over himself. The messenger
remained and ate the chicken. The boys
had the corpse" laid out under sheet ut
the livery stable and all the men and
boys in town were there TO see Sam hold
the inquest. Before going TO the stable,
while figuring out what TO buy with the
inquest money he took few "hracers"
TO steady his nerves for the terrible job.
They say 1t was worth 6-bits to see him
rave aud paw the earth when he lifted
the sheet and found he was sold. Az we
