MYSTERY or A SKELETON.
Probably That Of Emil Girardin, q Resi-
dent of Butte In 81

as,
The people of Neihart have discov-
cred What they believe to be a murder
mystery, and +. X. Abbott of the Her
aid of that city has written to the
clerk of the district court in Butte for
his assistance in unraveling the mys-
terry.
I'VE have found a skeleton of a nan
long & dead, and we are trying to
learn his identity" writes Mr.. Abbott.
He says that in a pocket of the coat
worn by the skeleton was found a dec
laration of intention to become a citi-
zen of the United States. The paper
was taken out in Butte when the state
was a territory, and Ben l.. Davis was
clerk of the court. but the only name
that could be deciphered was Emil. the
first name of the applicant. Another
paper found was some Swiss docu-
ment. showing that the dead mar came
from Canton de Berne. Switzerland. \
search of court records was made yes
terday and IL was found that the only
Swiss named Emil who declared his
intention to be come a citizen during
the time hat Ben L. Davis was clerk
was one Emil Girardin. aged %. the
application being dated May /. 1856,
and signed by Clerk Davis and Charles
s. Warren as deputy. II is therefore
probable that the skeleton found at
Neihart is that of Girardin.

VAUDEVILLE DAY.
The Auction Tonight, the Ball Being
Postponed.

SHhPSh'Ns
Yesterday was Vaudeville day at the
charity fair and the people from the
hill city turned out and did themselves
proud. The ladies of walkerviTle took
charge of the lunch booths yesterday
afternoon and the people from Walk
erville, with a knowledge of the huge
baskets of edibles sent to the fair. were
on hand in large numbers at supper
time. The Alice band, of which they
are all so justly proud, came along and
furnished the music during the even
ing. They rendered a beautiful pro-
gramme and a number of their SYM
phonies were so captivating that the
hall was perfectly quiet during their
execution, eve the young aides sell
ing chances stopping in their persis-
tent and untiring efforts. The Walker
vile people have been among the most
liberal donators to the fair and yester-
day was a banner day of the week.
Many Butte people We'd with them ard
swelled the large crowd. A large num-
Der of very valuable articles were raft
fled off last night and a goodly num-
Der sold. but there still remains many
articles and tonight there will be a
grand auction. Everything hat re-
rains will be put up and sold TO the
highest bidder and an exciting time is
promised.
1t was intended to give a grand
charity ball tonight, but on account
of the very liberal donations received
the auction will be held tonight and
the ball will be given at some future
date to be decided upon. The ladies
wish it understood that the ball is not
off. but simply postponed. This after
noon there will be special features for
children and all are invited. The fair
will open at 2:30 p. m.
The doll contest. in which there has
been much interest and rivalry, will be
decided tonight.

OUR DEBT TO 3UMBLEBEES.
The Part These busy Workers Play In tho
Fertilization Of Flowers.

Fertilization of Flowers.
Barney Hoskin Standish writes an
article on 1.-The Bumblebee" for st.
Nicholas. Mr.. Standish says: The work
of the bumblebee in bringing about the
cross fertilization of flowers is as i'm
portant as that Of the honcybec, and
these two stand at the head of the list
of insects useful in this respect. Each
has its flowers which it alone visits,
but there are many flowers on neutral
ground visited by both. So we may
say Of the bumblebec, as of the honey
bee, the more bumblebees the more
seeds; the more seeds tAe more flowers
especially wild flowers, as the tall
bellfower. touch me not, Solomon's seal,
g,ntian, Dutchmcn's brecchcs and tur-
tie head. But probably the most impor-
tant work this insect does for agricul-
turc is upon the fields Of red clover.
There is abundant proof that this plant
will not produce seed without the CO.
operation of the bumblebce. 1t is i'm.
possible for the wind to bring about the
fertilization of the seed, as it may do
III the. case of Indian corn, grain and
sornc forest trees. The tube of red clio.
yer blossoms, too, is 50 long that other
insects Cincludiug the h~oncybee) are
not regular yisitants.
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumblcbec. This
insect is not Il native Of Australia, and
red clover failed to produce seed there
until bunblebccs We're imported. AS
soon as they became numerous the plant
could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms Of the first crop Of
the Medium Red clover of our OVID
country are just us perfect as those Of
the second crop, but there are too few
bUinblcbces III the field, o early in the
season, to produce fertilization, hence
little or no seed in this crop. If humble
bees were sufficiently numerous, there
is no rcasOn Why much larger yields of
clover seed might not lie expected than
at present.
Here is what Il %cll informed farmer
says about il:

PRESS COMMENT.

No Idea of Honsty-
The Wyoming annex of the Denver
News SUI that some sinister mo-
tive prompted Mr.. J.. C. Davis to state
that he could not accept the republican
nomination for governor. Of course
a carpet bag politician who came to
Wyoming with a commission to a fat
office in his pocket, ard whose only ac-
complishment since that time has been
his success in holding on to the public
teat, would hardly be expected to I'M
deTstand that some men have a higher
ambition in life thar to simply exc out
a miserable existence at the public
crib Not having the first principle OF
political honor in his composition, the
would-be successor of J. f. Osborne
would not be expected to credit any
one else with that very c~ommendable
attribute. Mr.. Davis came to the con-
clusion that in justice to himself he
could not afford to accept a nomination
for governor on the republican ticket.
and he believed it to be his duty to say
so. that his friends in every county of the
state, who have urged him to accept
the nomination, might know where he
stands. His d~eclination of the honor
which vas his for the asking was for
the reason stated-overwork and poor
health-and no other, the Denver News
to the contrary Notwithstanding

Among the many articles made from
cork waste is the familiar cork grip for
bicycle handles. BY II secret process,
the waste is pressed into the required
shape. and, strange to say. the grips thu:
made are stronger and more durable
than those manufactured from cork
weed. although the latter gives Il much
smoother finish. Cork slabs for insl.iat
ing purposes, life prcscrvcrs, cork solcs
and insolcs and %pcnholders are also
made from cork waste. 1t is very large
ly used for Il filler in the lining Of cold
storage and ice houses. since cork is Il
nonconductor Of heat.
Another ami II unique use of cork is
that to which it is put in the interior
ironwork and plates of ironclads and
steamers between the bottom of the YES.
sci and the second or false floor in order
to prevent rust. The interior surface of
the ironwork IS coated with paint. and
while the latter is still wet it is pow
dcred with cork dust in the same way
that wood is saudCd to resemble stone.
The waste sometimes takes the place of
asbestus i'll covering steam pipes. Both
cork wood and waste make Il very de-
siratle handle or grip for fish poles.
