Omcial Importance,

A scene reported by a French pa
per as occurring in a camp of re
servists," a military body which
corresponds in some degree with our
militia, indicates that the officer
who is clothed sin a little brief au-
thority' is often as absurdly insis-
tent upon that authority in one
country as another.
A lieutenant of these r~eservists.
bursting with Importance, calls out
to a passing soldier:
Hi, there, barber, barber! Send
me the barberl"
Eyes, sir. Yes, lieutenant" says
the soldier, saluting and starting off
on a run. Presently another soldier
arrives and ~salutes the lieutenant.

"Y-yes, SIR

here and shave me quickly"
but, lieutenant

The soldier seiZes the razor and
at the first movement cuts the lieu
tenant badly Oh the cheek.
"Blockheadi Scoundrell' shouts
the officer. Don't you know how
to shave any better than that9"

by a third fatality in the vicinity of Nei-
hart. Last Sunday evening Mrs. Emily

a member of the Disciple church, and is
well known at Neihart. She was aged
81 and leaves three sons and two daught-
ers to mourn her loss. These are Mrs.

Grants Toilet In Camp.

General Horace Porter, in his
campaigning With Grant" in The
Century, says: In the night of tho
14th Lee began to move troops to his
right. Grant fow directed Hancock's
corps to be withdrawn and massed
behind the center of our line, so
that it could be moved promptly in
either direction. When the general
got back to camp that evening, his
clothes were q mass of mud from
head to foot, his uniform being
scarcely recognizable. He sat until
bedtime without making any change
In his dress. He never seemed par
ticularly incommoded by the travel
stained condition of his outer gar
ments, but was scrupulously careful,
even in the most active campaigns,
about the cleanliness of his linen and
his person. The only chance for a
bath was in having a barrel sawed
in two and using the half of it as a
sort OF sitz bath. During most of
this campaign tho general, like the
staff officers, used this method of
bathing, or, as III English friends
would say, clubbing" Afterward
he supplied himself with a portable
rubber bathtub.
While campaign life is not a good
school for the cultivation of squeam-
ishness, and while the general was
always ready to rough it in camp,
yet he was particularly modest in
performing his toilet, and his tent
fronts were always tied close, and
the most perfect privacy was secured
when he was washing or changing
his clothes. While thus engaged
even his servant was not allowed to
enter his quarters.

To the Gold Fields of Alaska.

The Northern Pacific Railway. compa-
ny has arranged to sell through tickets
to the Yukon mining district, Alaska,
via Seattle and the steamers of the North
American Trading & Transportation
company. Steamers sail from Seattle on
Thursday, June 10, 1897, and Tuesday,
August 10, 1897, and proceed directly to
Fort Get There, on st. Michael's island,
near the mouth Of the Yukon river,
touching only at Dutch Harbor, Unalas-
ka island, (Aleutian chain) en- route; at
Fort Get There change is made to the
Company's river steamers, which pass up
the Yukon river to Circle city, Fort Cud-
ahy and Forty Mile, thus affording an
easy and pleasant trip. Prospectors and
miners are advised to take the boat sail
ing from Seattle on June 10, so as to ar
rive at the mines in time for a good sea-
sons work.
Rates and further information will be
furnished on application to A. d. EDGAR,
General Agent, Helena, Mont. 1896.

KrBBEY

Kibbey. Mont, June 14--The past
week has been warm and with plenteou,
moisture everything looks green and
grows, ever the kids. Frost last Wed.
nesday night cut the grain a little, but
did no material damage. Potatoes and
other vegetables are not far enough ad-
vanced to suffer from frost, so you, Mr..
Editor, need not worry for fear you will
not find enough to eat when you make
your contemplated visit to Kibbey.
Frost, or no frost; prosperity, or no
prosperity; you may have all you want
from spring chicken to pie, and from
beef steak to floating island.
| paid a visit last week to the camp
of Barker, and found a change has come
over the place-might say a resurrection
day-was dead but o lives. | found
a number of your Neihart people there
engaged in delving into mother earth.
and judging by what l saw, they are sure
to make a stake. They have plenty of
ore in sight, of such quality as will pay
to ship, and leave a nest egg for the pro-
jectors.
The Liberty mine, operated by Malon-
ey and partners, is working three shifts.
The Queen Esther mine, Oatey s. Goslin,
is on good paying ore, and getting the
mine in shape to put on a crew of men
as soon as possible. One thing is certain.
Barker got her black eye through wild
and reckless expenditure of money by
agents who were too ignorant of mining
matters, or even of business to attain
success. Now the reverse has come. La
Dor and intelligence will count, and Mel
hart must look well to her laurels, or
Barker, in less than two years, will far
surpass her heretofore more favored sis
ter.
Mrs. Barnum, formerly Mrs. McMillen
of your city has gone to Chicago to place
her oldest SOL in a hospital to undergo
special treatment for spinal disease.
Mrs. John Giesey has been very sick,
and was attended by DR.. Chamberlain of
Belt.
Jno. ]. Ober's big barn is under con-
struction.
Sheep men are getting ready for shear
ing. The crop of lambs is immense, over
100 percent kicking up their heels on
the hillside, or lying in the shade, while
their mothers feed, waiting-yes, wait
ing for the promised prosperity of Mex.
The Patriots of Kibbey give a dance
Friday night, June IS, at the school
house; a good time looked for. The pro-
ceeds go to the cause of silver. The Pa
triots of Neihart are especially invited.
So Mr.. Editor, come over and we will
Introduce to you m of the finest girls
the sun ever smiled on--and they know
how to dance, too. Come and have your
life renewed once more. w. G. Lee.

Recently two players were ap-
preaching n of the holes, one play
er using a new ball, the other q ball
that had been played with before.
On walking toward their balls the
players were astonished to see the
crow alight near them, examine first
one ball and then the other, even
tually rejecting the older ball and
flying away with the new one in his
beak. The crow took the ball over
into some marshy ground beyond
the boundary of the links, where the
caddie in hot pursuit could not fol
low him. The bird dropped the ball
for an instant, looked sideways with
a merry twinkle in his eye, as much
as to say, Don't you wish you may
get it9" picked the ball up again,
and, with offensive assurance, flew
back over the heads of the players
to his haunt in Kew gardens .-Lon-

The Crow and the Golfers.

A crow which haunts the Mid-Sur-
rey links at Richmond is a bit of a
humorist. He has played such
pranks with the golfers balls that
the subject has been discussed by
the committee. He appears to hover
in attendance on players who use
nice, new, white balls. "Remades,"
or balls that have been played with
before, and on which the paint has
Clipped, receive none of his embar-

Elastic.

The elastic used for garters and
many other purposes is made by
weaving threads of rubber, cut by
machinery, into the material used
in the manufacture. The weaving
is done by a special process which
permits the elastic to lengthen
without impairing the fabric.
Lengthwise threads of cotton or silk
r woven very slack, as otherwise
they would prevent the stretching
