NEW FLYING
Boston Man Has Some Ideas He Is Ready
to Apply to One.

TO Apply To O0es
Samuel Cabot, the Boston flying ma
chine inventor, who is just starting to
Europe to study flying machines, has in
vented and tested a propeller to be used
in aerial navigation.
The propeller, made something like
the propeller Of a steamship, is operated
by foot power and revolves at a high
rate of speed. MI. Cabot tested the ma
chine by attaching it to a couple of BIZ
cycles which he fastened together. Then
the pedals of the bicycles were removed
and those of the propeller put ON.
When the big fan began to turn. away
went the bicycle, and the farther it went
the higher became its rate of speed, un-
til at last it was bowling along at the
rate of ten miles an hour.
Mr.. Cabot thinks he has solved one of
the problems of man fight. Now, if he
can get a machine that will stay up in
the air, he calculates that he a drive
it along with his invention.

SbA
tablished In New York.
1t is more than possible that the in
ternational headquarters of the Saliva
ton Army will shortly be transferred
from London to New York. 1t is under
stood that such q move is contemplated
to offset the feeling i'll America that the
Army is an English institution, founded
and conducted upon English principles.
Commander Booth-Tucker, the new
head of the Army in this country, prac-
tically acknowledged this fact recently.
Ballington Booth, ever since his de-
parture from the Salvation Army, has
dwelt upon the English origin Of the
Army and emphasized the fact that the
Volunteers is an American institution.
At the same time attention was dl-
rected to the commanding officers of the
Salvation Army. Every n Of them,
| who occupied a position Of any respon-
| sibility is a foreigner.
The keen general saw that his son
was making a point that would be ap-
preciated by the American people. New

Heart Failure Causes the Sudden Death
of L. p. Williston.

Heart Failure Causes the Sudden Death
OF L. P. Williston.
Billings. Aug. 25-About s o'clock
this morning the lifeless and decompos-
ed body Of L. P. Williston was found
in his room by Neil McClelland and
Dan Ross, who had become alarmed
at Williston's non-appearance during
Monday. and. thinking he was i'll, went
to see him. The last g of Pop" as
he vas Familiarity called was on Sunday
morning about 10 o'clock. He had
been drinking quite heavily for some
time and got up at an early hour and
came up town where he took several
drinks, after which he wa accom-
panied to his room by Il friend who
saw him lie down upon his bed when
he left him, promising to return during
the day, but says he forgot all about it
and did not go back. From the condi-
ton of the body it was evident that he
died soon after his friend left him.
Williston was we'll and %favorably
known throughout Montana and was
about 3S years Of age. He was a son of
ex-Associate Justice Lorenzo p. Will
~liston, a pioneer Judge of Montana
territory. having been appointed by
President Lincoln May 26, 1864. He
leaves a brother, H. S. Williston of
Cleveland, Ohio, and an aged mother
and three sisters at Wellsboro, Pa.
He came to Billings eight years ago
and was employed by his brother in
the Williston Hardware company's
store until its close last year. In 1889
he was a candidate on the Democratic
ticket for the legislature but was de-
feated.

Good For Bishop Littlejohn.

Bishop Littlejohn has been invited by
the syndicate Of Cambridge university,
England, to be select preacher in June,
1897.
1t is now 16 years since Bishop Little
john, in response to a like invitation,
delivered a series of discourses on I'm
dividualism," subsequently printed by
The University press and widely circu-
lated in England and in this country.
AS a recognition of the value Of these
discourses Bishop Littlejohn was honor
ed with the degree Of LII. D.
He was the first American ever invited
to perform a like service in the univer-
sity of Cambridge.

Lewis and Clarke Taxpayers VIII Pro-

That the action of the state board OF

Of the taxpayers Of the state. It APP

supreme court. I don't know what
grounds he has, and don't believe he
can make out that the board has done
anything it had not a right to do.
Mr.. Wallace was not ready to talk.
He said that if anything were done it
would be done before long, though.
"Who will be the plaintiffs in the &C.

1T is not time to announce that yet,
he replied. "They will be some Of the

In addition to the firm of Toole &
Vale, eX-Gov. B. Platt Cargenter. and
others will probably be retained to as.
sist in the trial for the petitioners.
The action will be based upon the
claim that the state board has authority
only to '~'equalize" and not to raise
the county boards.

the assessment on sheep to S1.50 pc,

are reached the ore bodies increase in
richness. The mill at the Clipper
mine is using about SO tons Of ore daily
and a new and improved air compressor
is being placed at the mouth Of the No.

creasing the capacity of the mill in the
near future and the force of men en-
ployed on the property has been in
creased recently.
