eral Lee and his ward. a Miss Walters,
with whom young officer Of the
British navy ia in love. There are sew

cook, Cuban girl, Spanish woman.
and these manage to mix up in al in
trigue in which jealousy. revenge, pat
riotism and love are successfully
brought into play. The object of the
entertainment, however. is to bring
upon the scene the incidents Of the war,
such as the arrival Of the Maine in Ha-
vana and the blowing up Of that vessel.
Then the scene shifts to Manila and all
the persons, except Weyler, manage to
get there in time to see the battle Of
Cavite. This is realistic scene, in
which the American and Spanish yes
sells fire vigorously upon one another.

A Passenger Refuses to he Put Off
Northern Pacific Train.

A Passenger Refuses to He Put OF a
Northern Pacific Train.
Conductor j. W. Dodds of Satu day
mornings east.bound Northern Pacific
passenger, had an experience just after
leaving Big Timber, which made him
feel es though his train was to be held
up. At Big Timber 7. H. Gurney and
his,nephew, Stanley Gurney, boarded
the cars The former presented ticket
for Park City. while the latter handed
out a pass check good to st. Paul, but
on which the time limit had expired,
but which he proposed to use just the
same. Conductor Dodds refused to
honor the latter's ticket. Gurney pro-
tested, but all to no avail and Conduc-
tor Dodds pulled the air cord signall-
ing the engineer to stop the train.
Quincy would not leave the train and
when an attempt was made to put him
off he drew a revolver, with which he
kept the conductor and brake1hen at
bay and rode as far as Park City,
where he got off on his own accord.
When the train reached Billings Con-
ductor Dodds swore out warrant for
young Gurney's arrest. Deputy Sheriff
Sayles went after him, but the fellow
had made tracks for parts unknown.
The uncle was arrested and brought
to Billings, but as he had nothing to do
with it, he was turned loose.

The laughing plant" grows in Ara bia. It obtains its name from the ef- fleets produced by eating it's seeds. The natives of the district where the plant grows dry these seeds and reduce them to powder. A small dose of this powder has similar effects to those arising from the excessive use of in- toxicants. It causes the most sober person to dance, shout, and laugh, with the boisterous excitement of madman, and to rush about cutting the most ridiculous capers for about an heur At the expiration of this exhaustion sets in and the excited per- son falls asleep, to wake after several hours with no recollection of his sn- tics.
