valuable paintings. Without them the
exhibition would not be what it is. The
pictures were loaned by Mr.. Leininger
for the exhibit with a generosity and
good will due to his genuine love OF art

he has spent part Of his fortune. The

the German school OF the fifties. the
Chess Players by Fichel. The Serpent
Charmer by Ernst, Canterbury Mead
ows-Shesp, by 7. Sidney Cooper and
Correi in Skye by Louis b. Hurt. This
loan represents many thousands of dol

Omaha by the Adams Express company
without charge. Mr.. Cooper. the Lin
c)ln agent, and the Omaha agent, have
done everything possible to help the
exhibit. and the directors Of the Hayden
Art club feel dee ply grateful. The hard
work that has made such an exhibit
possible has been done by Mrs. f. NJ.

In the loan collection the evidence OF
the discriminating taste OF Nebraska
citizens is in evidence. Perhaps the
picture most admired is marine owned

OF man, horse and dog.
The head OF a little darky done in
pastel by Mr.. Burbank and loaned by
Dr. and Mrs. Giffen is an example OF
what a few strokes of chalk on brown
paper can accomplish. The treatment
is broad and there is not line, however
irrelevant at a closD view, that a few
feet away does not become important.
moi to put on paper line that does not
reveal the anatomy or characteristic
dress of the model is the finished result
OF the schools. Such reserve gives to
work, repose and simplicity; and saves
it from the fate that attends all fussi-
ness. The portrait of DIR. Dayton by
the well known French artist, Dessar, is
a very good likeness, and OF course the
technique is faultless.
There are in the collection number
OF copies Of the old mlsters. The only
one desirable from modern point OF
view is Rapha ael's Madonna OF the Chair

Diana hunting represents young l.dy

impo ssible to maintain longer than thirty
seconds, and with unntellig BILE feet.
But the old masters painted anything
they liked without danger to their rep
utation. The head of Christ, loaned
by DR.. West, is the head AMI
one shoulder of an heroic figure Of
Christ. Crowded into small'sh frame

Mrs. Lucy Langley Will Find Her
Son Dead.
DIED AT C~HICKAMAUGA
He Was One OF h Rough Riders and
the Mother Left When She Re-
ceived the News of His
Serious illness.

Mrs. Lucy Langley will receive a sad
greeting when she arrives at Chicka-
manga park. whittier she started on
Thursday to see her son Clarence of
Captain Stivers' rough riders, news of
whose dangerous illness she received by
telegraph on Wednesday.
She will find her boy dead. The news
of this. the second death among the
volunteers of the Butte cavalry troop.
came yesterday in the following tele-
gram to g. j. Smith, the uncle of young
Langley. from one Of the surgeons in
the hospital where the soldier was be-
ing cared for:
"Chickamauga Park, Aug. -.
Your nephew Clarence died at this
hospital suddenly at $50 a. m. to-day.
What disposition do you wish made of
body? A.. :. POLHEMUS.
Major and Surgeon L. :. V"
The young soldier was taken with
What was first pronounced malarial fe-
YER about three weeks ago, and news
of his illness came To Butte a few DAYS
later in a letter from a comrade to one
OF his friends here. but it was not inn
parted to the mother and the first she
knew Of her son being sick was when
she received a brief note from one of
the hospital surgeons. which merely
stated her son had malarial fever and
that his condition was not serious. The
mother was much worried. however.
and a her brother telegraph the hos
pital to keep her posted as to her sons
condition. Then came the telegram of
Wednesday announcing his case had
developed into typhoid fever and tha
ne was very low. Mrs. Langley started
for Chickamauga that evening.
Upon receipt of the telegram yester-
day Mr.. Smith concluded it was best
not to worry the mother by notifying
her of her sons death while en- route,
and she VIII not know of il therefore
till she reaches Chickamauga. Mr..
smith telegraphed the hospital officials
to hold the remains till the mother ar
rlNes and also telegraphed her eldes
son in New York to proceed to Chick
amauga and meet his mother.
Young Langley was 20 years Of age
n was a fine specimen of physical
manhood. He came to Butte a year
ago last June and was engaged with
his uncle in the coal and wood business.
At college he had been a fine athlete
and last fall he was induced to ioin
the Butte football team, i'm which he
distinguished himself i'm the Butte-Re-
lance games last winter. When the
war broke out he got the fever Very
badly, like most of the other young
men of Butte, and could hardly be re-
strained from Joining the first volun-
teers. Later when the cavalry troop
was organized and a number of his
friends Joined, the counsels of
his mother were not sufficient 10 hold
any longer and he became a mem
Der of the troop. With his fine physique
he was thought to be one of the last

appears TO have gone very rapidly. His
death will be mourned by a large circle
OF friends he made during his residence
in Butte.

A MlSCREANT'S WORK.
Strong suspicious That the Bridge Fires
Were Set by Incendiaries.

Strong suspicious That the Bridge Fires
Were Set by I~ncendiaries.
Parties who came in from Whitehall
yesterday stated that there were sIrong
suspicious there that the Northern Pa
cific bridges east of Homestake. which
were destroyed by fire Thursday, were
purposely set on fire by some miscreant
who had an imaginary grievance
against the company. Eight bridges
were burning at the same time, but the
fire on all but two large ones were ex-
dinguished.
General Agent Merriman, however.
does not believe that the fires were of
incendiary origin. He stated last even
ing that the fires were doubtless started
by a light engine which passed over the
road Thursday forenoon. 1t Will be
fully two weeks before the two bridges
are rebuilt, and in the meantime travel
between Butte and Logan will neces-
sarily be entirely suspended. A num-
Der of people from points along the line
have been caught away from home and
will have to await the construction of
the bridges before they can return. Be
ginning to-day a stage Will run from
Butte to Whitehall, but will not go be-
yond the latter point. The stage will
start from McGovern's barn and a fare

"A MILK WHITE FLAG"
Wit Keen and Pungent-yiciims Laugh

The satire I'm "A Milk White Flag"
which will open the season at Maguire's
opera house Monday night, is directed
against popular fads and costumes and
while II is keen and pungent, 1t is at all
times of ~good-natured character and the
victims usually laugh the loudest. "A
MIX White Flag" Of all the Huyt pro-
ductions, is said to be at once the most
ludicrous and ComicaL. There is less
horse-play and more spectacular effect
than is usual IN farce-c0medy and the
production partakes somewhat IF the
nature Of the modern comic-opera, with
its gaily Costumed v~ivandieres. color

WHAT lEeHEY SAID,
The Work of District Judges should r..
Evenly Divided.

Attorney NJ. d. Leehey, speaking Of
the conference which the Butte even
ing paper said he sought with the
county commissioners yesterday, said
In explanation last evening:
The facts are that in the course of
an impromptu conversation with the
board, l incidentally suggested the
economy of providing a court room
II inviting some of the Judges from
n~eighboring districts whose duties are
less arduous than those Of our local
Judges to hold cour for n or two
months during the year. I think this
could be done, and know the invitation
would be gladly accepted. And as the
Judges are paid by the state and as all
receive the same salary it seems fair
that work Should be as evenly divided
as possible. But 7 did not quote from
the penal code. ] believe I made refer
ence to section SO of our code OF civil
procedure.
Il am opposed to the proposed re-
quirement that all justices of the peace
must be licensed attorneys. and did
not state that good material was not
available for our district Judges.
though I might here suggest that l
believe the salary of those officials
should be increased. OF course. better
men VIII seek the office Of Justice of
the peace if il is made more remuner-
alive. and l did express a preference
for the proposed salary system. I did
state that ] thought Of but one method
by which the number Of civil appeals
to the district court might he lessened.
That Is to enlarge the jurisdiction Of the
justice curtis and make them courts
of record; require the payment Of all
fees in advance: do away with trials
de novo in the district court upon such
appeals and make the taking of an
appeal more difficult. In short, add to
the dignity of the Justice court and re-
move it's officials from the necessity Of
competing for business.
This plan contemplates constitution
al amendments, Of course. and per-
haps cannot be accomplished just now,
but in my opinion IL Is the only way IN
which the present necessity OF trying
anew in the district court every con-
tested Justice court ease can be avoid
ed. NV remarks were made not pur-
posely for publication, but. of course. I
have no objection 20 that. am
pleased my opinion is Of so much i'm
