1auE FARM ECONOMY.

Neatness snd comfort are not extrava'
gsnce. The farmer may economize In
caring for farm implements, his build.
ings, etc, but the greatest economy
comes from an Intelligent comprehensive
OF the production Of the farm. It isn't
economy for farmer to persist con-
tinually in raising those things which
the markets call for. Too many dairy
farmers keep unproductive animals
Farmers study too little how to gel
more out of the farm.

to his friend, who had to pay 8 shilling'

"Yes, Of coWse, but don't telegraph.

Hopkins Transatlantic Star Spe-
cialty company, which comes to the
Margaret tomorrow night, is promised
to be one of the best vaudeville organ

has thousands of admirers in every
large city from Maine to California,
and its entertainment has been wit
messed by probably more people than
tina of any other vaudeville organiza-
ton on the road. Robert Fulgora, who
is directing it's tour this season, de-
clares that the performance has been
received with unusual favor every
where. The star of the organization is
Professor Leonidas n his wonderful
troupe of trained cats and dogs. one of
the principal performers of which is a
cat which makes a parachute
jump from the dome of the theater to
the stage, a marvellous exhibition of fe-
line sagacity and courage.
Other members of this organization
include Miss Mary Arniotis, the
strongest woman in the world. Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Sidman will present
a delightful comedy sketch entitled "A
Bit of Real Life" Other members in

He Succeeds George Mcmillan as Captain
of The Football Team.
The Anaconda football team held a
meeting last night. at which George Nc
MILAN, the manager and captain. re-
signed his dual position. The boys
wouldn't have it that way. however, and
positively refused to accept his resig-
nation as manager, and he will con-
tinue TO direct the club in that capacity.
so that the nearest Mcmillan came to
getting out of Office is that he Is no
longer captain. George Smith, better
known as Pete Smith. was unani-
mously elected to succeed Mr.. McMil-
Ian.
, George Mcmillan has been an earnest
and faithful worker for the upbuilding
of the sport In Anaconda. and he was
unanimously chosen as the teams cad
er early In the season. Lately, how
ever, he has found that his business
will prevent him from devoting the
necessary time to the practice work.
and he considered ii best to resign.
pete Smith is a thorough-going
football player. and one who under
stands the game in all its details. Mr..
Smith will begin active practice at once
in preparation for the Butte game on
Decoration day.

PROBABLY A MISTAKE.
Report That Paddy Ford Was on the
Maine Is Questioned.

Report Tha Paddy Ford Was on the
Maine L. Questioned.
The Walkerville Telegram of last
week prints the following regarding a
former Anaconda man:
Among he victims of the explosion
of the Maine. it now ~transpires, was
Paddy Ford, a union pressman, who
was employed on the late Helena Jour-
nal in 1891, and was well known in Hell
ena. On cot Of domestic trobles
Paddy enlisted under an assumed
name. His wife was with him in San
Francisco. and followed him as far as
Denver, Colo"
Ford was for some time head press
man in the press room of h Standard
during 1891 and 1892. He afterwards left
the city, but has been heard from at
various points throughout the country.
The last time he was heard from he
was located at Rossland, b.. c. 1t is
thought that h Telegram's informa-
ton is wrong, and that h Ford re-
ferred to in the article is a man whose
home was at Omaha. and who was on
the Maine when blown up.

IT IS NOW N OPERATION
The Copper City Limited Makes
Two Daily Trips.
A VERY HANDSOME TRAIN
Ssrvice on the Northern Pacific IL Greatly
Apprecisted-Passenger Business L.
Satisfactory. but Fruit Ship
ments Have Not Begun.

The Copper City Limited" the new
train to the Bitter Root has now been
in operation for two days and it's sue
cess is assured. The train is a very
handsome one and has attracted a
great deal of attention. Each day since
the Inauguration of the service the sta
ton platform has been filled with peo-
pie who wanted to see what the new
train looked like.
The train consists of an engine and
three coaches. one of which is a COM
bination baggage car smoking
car. The coaches are painted a dark
green, and on the sides are the words:
Copper City Limited" in gold. Every
thing about the train is brand new, the
coaches having just been built at the
Northern Pacific's shops at st. Paul.
There are two crews on the new SER
vice. One of them consists of Conduc-
tor Clancy. the DID -time Bitter Root
branch man, Engineer Howe n
Brakeman Smith. The other crew is
composed OF Conductor Jinkens, Engi-
neer Brennan and Brakeman Nelson.
The engines are Nos. 1SS and 500.
The new train arrives at Anaconda
from the Bitter Root at 1850 o'clock in
the morning, and on its return trip Ii
arrives from Butte at 2 o'clock i'm the
afternoon. Local Agent S. ID. Beebe
said yesterday that the passenger bust
ness done by the Bitter Root train was
very satisfactory and he had no doubt
that il would soon be increased to an
extent to warrant the continuation Of
the service. The shipments of fruits
and vegetables from the Bitter Root
valley. which are figured on to furnish
a large portion of the revenue. ave
not yet begun. BY the end of this
month. however, 1t is expected that
these shipments will be large. A refrig-
orator car will be added to the train as
soon as the fruit and vegetables begin
to be handled. and then the people of
Butte and Anaconda will begin to
know the real value of the Copper City
Limited"
The Inauguration of the Bitter Root
service has increased mail facilities to
a great extent. Letters are now ex-
changed between Anaconda and Butte
and the western portion of the state in
six hours. The following closing hours

Inquired Into.
This morning at 10 o'clock, Coroner
Hardenbrook will hold an inquest on
the body of John p. Anderson. whose
death was announced in yesterday
mornings Standard. Yesterday some
new features were developed regard
ing the accident in which Anderson
met his death. 1t appears now that a
rancher in the valley named Joe STAFF
ferson reports that he saw the team
of Anderson when ii started to run
away. He asserts positively, how
ever, that there was nobody i'm the
wagon when the animals started of.
1t may be concluded from this that
Anderson. in falling from the vehicle.
jerked the reins and thu frightened
the horses.
Coroner Hardenbrook went over to
Lost Creek yesterday afternoon and
subpoenaed a number OF witnesses,
who will testify at the inquest to-day.
1t is likely. however, that very little.
