epecidl correspondence OF the Stanuatu.
, Bozeman. Oct. 23.-The republican
meeting on Wednesday night was rath-
er a cold n and froze out before 1t
was over. Mr.. Marshall started in
speaking at a good, round pace, and
kept the fluctuations going throughout
the address, pausing only once in a
while for the applause which failed to
come. Not even the name of the great
commoner Abraham Lincoln could
arouse a semblance OF a cheer, nor the
mention of General Grant and his mill
tary and civil exploits. Pictures of
both of these great Americans had a
place on the right and lefthand side of
the stage, and were wreathed with
bunting and flags, while the portrait of
William Mckinley occupied the center
in front of the speakers table. After
the names of Grant and Lincoln had
been mentioned without applause. the
marvellous doings of the administration
of President Mckinley were told in
glowing terms. And then there was
applause from a few, but it was weak
and feeble. The greatest and most en-
thusiastic applause occurred when the
name of Mr.. Campbell was mentioned
n a reference made to the free COIN
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to i
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation IN earth. and the
democratic f~oolishness thereof. This
occurred quite early in. the evening, but
Mr.. Marshall kept his short sentences
going beginning each one with a weak
bass and ending with an equally weak
falsetto) on the even tenor of their way
until he had reached his last sentence.
Then the audience cheered and got up
and left. and there were not so very
MANY 1aff 70 Oaf nm md cheer At the
earnest solicitation Of the chairman, w.
l.. Holloway, a few stayed a little long
er to hear Mr.. Crouch, who was so cold
that he spoke very few minutes. and
then the remainder Of the audience
went home to get warm. Mr.. Marshall
assured the audience that the tariff
question Was the only one at issue. but
spent considerable time on the finan-
cial situation.
Jack Deane. the well known guide,
was in the city on Friday and brought
with him a small box of the remains
of g~rasshoppers. He said he got this
pulverized grasshopper off a large
glacier northeast of Cook City, where
there are tons and tons of IL In the
~Srevasses. The only suggestion offered
10 this peculiar Incident is that the
grasshoppers must have been flying
over in countless myriads and were
overtaken by night and stopped to take
a rest and froze to the surface of the
glacier. Another remarkable thing
about this glacier is that there is an
immense rock upon its bosom, having
presumably fallen from the top of the
large mountain close by, and carried
some distance by the action of the gla-
cier. moving down it's sides, until now
IL is quite a distance from its parent
mountain.
Manager Hall of the Yellowstone
Railway company vas riding the first
horseless carriage ever seen in BoZe-
man on Friday afternoon. He took "A
trip up TO the college and back in quick
time. The carriage consists of a gaso-
lene engine attached to an ordinary
railroad tricycle.. Mr.. Hall secured IL
while in the East, it's cost being some
where in the neighborhood of 5000. He
will use it to go over his railroad line.
which is in the course of construction.

AS Nh. Marshall and a few of his
s~ympathizers were leaving the opera
house on Wednesday evening, a small
boy asked one Of them why the parade
had not come off. He was answered
that the republicans were going to w
