A COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
Two Hundred School Electors
Petition for a Special
Election.
THE COMMISSIONERS
Will Act on the Matter This Week
Billings Decided Upon as
Place Of Location.

The county commissioners, who are
in session in this city, have petition
before them, signed by two hundred
school electors Of Yellowstpp6 county.
asking them to call a special election
for the purpose Of submitting the ques.
tion of a county free high school to the
people, to ascertain whether or not such
school is desired. In the petition the
city of Billings is specified as the place
of establishing the school, should the
proposition carry.
This action is another step in the
matter referred to by The Gazette some
weeks ago and is following out the
mode of procedure according to the Lose
kamp high school bill, which was made
law by the recent state legislature.
No action has yet been taken by the
commissioners, but will be some time
this week. According to the law they
are compelled to call the special cleo
tion, as petitioned, to ascertain whether
or not the county wishes the school,
and at the same time have the electors
vote on proposition to levy mill
tax. At least twenty days notice must
be given Of such election. Should such
election carry, the commissioners shall
then appoint six trustees, who will
have charge of establishing said school
and its management.

BASEBALL NEWS,

Billings Club Organizes for Active Work
Two New Players.
enthusiasm has taken an
upward tendency in Billings and the
city has a club which bids fair to be a
credit to it. At recent meeting OF
the club an organization was perfected
with Robt. L. Nix as president and
manager and Ed. Taylor, captain. Mr..
Nix is rustler and promises our peo-
pie some good athletic amusement for
this summer. In the selection of Tay-
lor as captain the boys have chosen
wisely. He is popular, knows the
game perfectly and will make the boys
practice for all there is in them.
In order to provide the players uni
forms, Mr.. Nix will visit the business
men and ask about twelve to each
donate suit. It is hoped the mer.
chants will come to the aid of the club
and assist the boys in their efforts in
the national game.
As soon as the weather will permit
the ball grounds will be scraped and
placed in good condition, and the boys
expect to get down to active practice
and playing. Games will then be ar
ranged with Helena, Butte, Sheridan,
Miles City, Red Lodge and other
places. and some good sport is antici-
pated. The club has accepted the cbal-
lenge Of Red Lodge to play in that city
next Tuesday, and although the person
mel has not yet been arranged, strong
team will be gathered together for the
game. 1t is hardly likely that any
games will be arranged with Sheridan
this month, although the latter will be
invited this week to play in this city

EVANGELISTIC SERVICES.

Large Audiences Attend the Cxittentol
| Meetings in the Court House..
Chas. N. Crittenton, the millionaire
merchant evangelist of New York City
accompanied by Mr.. Moffat. bis bust
ness man, and Mrs. Moffat, soloist,
arrived in Billings Sunday uorning ir
his private car, "Good News" from
Livingston, where successful meetings
were held last week.
The union meetings commenced in
the court house in this city Sunday
forenoon and were attended by vast
congregation, the room being filed
The service opened with singing by a
choir, led by Mrs. Moffat. Miss
Martha Denham sang beautiful solo
entitled "Fear Not, O., Ye Israel. "
just before the sermon of Evangelist
Crittenton, Mrs. Moffat sang "Perish-
ing Her voice is one of sweetness
aud rare quality. She sings with fine
expression, emphasis and has already
won the praises of all who have heard
her. For his text Mr.. Crittenton took
these words, found in Matthew II :2S ::
"Go work today in my vineyard. his
subject being 1.-The Sin of Omission :"
For over half hour the evangelist
spoke words of truth and wisdom,
which could not fail to touch the hearts
OF those present. The illustrations
used in his exhortation were touching
and many hearts were softened by
them. Mr.. Crittenton is not polished
speaker, yet he is quite fluent and forci-
BILE. He speaks with an earnestness
which cannot be mistaken for any sell
fish motive. The evangelist is happy
in his religion-it is shown in his eyes
and his speech. He loves to work in
Gods vineyard, doing everything in
his power to lift mankind from the evil
paths to the higher and better planes
of life.
At the evening service the court
house was packed; many were COM
PEELED to stand and quite number
could not gain admittance. Several
gospel songs were sung by the choir and
Mrs. Moffat again sang a touching
solo. assisted on the chorus by the
choir, entitled 1.-The Temptation. "
The service was a splendid one.
Evangelist Crittenton spoke for nearly
three-quarters of an hour, at the close
of which he asked all those who wished
to lead a better life and wished the
prayers Of the Christian people in their
behalf to arise. His exhortation was
followed by many arising in all parts
OF the house, it being seen that there

STRIKE AT GEBO,

Coal Miners Refuse to Work at the
Tonnage Scale of Wages.
1t is reported that strike occurred
at Gebo Thursday, the miners in the
employ of the Clarke's Fork Coal COM
pany going out in body that morning.
The company, having recently installed
electric cutting machines in the mines,
discontinued day wages for mining coal
and put the men on tonnage pay. It is
not known whether the strike takes in
all the employees, numbering seventy or
eighty, or whether it is simply confined
to the men working underground. 1t
is hoped the difficulty will soon be
settled, as the camp has just got to work
after many vexatious delays and has
certainly had enough "hard luck'' al.
ready.

UNDER NEW ORDERS.
New Book of Regulations Issued by the
Northern Pacific.

New Book of Regulations Issued by the
Northern Pacific.
The employees of the Northern Pacific
railway are now working under the
new book of rules adopted by the COM
pany. These rules are the result of
careful de)iberation on the part of su-
perintendeuts of the line and their su-
perior officers and contain all that is
believed to be best in all systems. The
rules are practically those that are in
force on the larger railway systems Of
the country, adapted. of course, to the
local necessities of the Northern Pa
cific. One important change is in re-
gard to the movement of trains by the
dispatchers. The new "19' order, as
upon which it is written. will facilitate
the movement of freight trains and
avoid the necessity Of numerous stops,
which, with the heavy trains that are
now run, means much in getting
train over the divisions There are
other changes which are not easily COM
pretended by outsiders. but which the
railroad men seem to think are all
right. The rules went into effect at
O'Clock on the morning of June 1.
For several weeks board Of instruct-
ors, composed Of men from the differ
ent branches of the service, has been at
work on each division for the purpose
of familiarizing the employees Of the,
different departments with the changes.
This work was completed last week.
In the examinations that have taken
place under these rules there have been
several men dropped from the rolls for
incompetency. but their loss will add
to the efficiency of the road Men who
are not able to interpret these rules are
certainly not safe men to handle the
business Of the road. Most of the men
Oh this division seem to approve Of the
change

A COURT HOUSE SITE
The County Commissioners viii
Consider the Matter To-
morrow Morning.
ARE LIABLE TO ACT
They Would Like to Hear from
the Taxpayers on This I'M
pOrtant Subject.

The county commissioners inform
this newspaper that at 10 O'Clock to-.
morrow morning they will consider the
matter of site for new court house,
and that they would like to hear from
the taxpayers on the subject. As stated
by this newspap per hst Friday, the only
site that has been offered the county
free is block of ground on the south
side belonging to Mayor Yegen. It lies
south and west of Donovan & Spear s
store-not east, as enormously stated
by this paper in its issue of May 23.
Mr.. Yegen's offer, which The Gazette
published on that date; is that. if his
site is selected, he will give $15. 200 for
the present court house and Jail. If he
makes this offer to the commissioners
tomorrow morning-and no better one is
made-they are liable to accept it. So
far, no other offer whatever has been
made. Mr.. Yegen's site is six blocks
from the First National bank corner,
and The Gazette believes that it is too
far from the business center for court
house. But if he will pay $500 for
the present court house and Jail, and
no other site is offered the county, the
commissioners may decide upon that
location. Such a sale would enable
them to build new court house and
Jail costing $25, 900 without submitting
the question to vote of the people,
bonding the county or raising taxes.
If the taxpayers and business men
are interested in this matter, they had
better appear before the commissioners
tomorrow morning and discuss it with
them. The board will be glad to see
them and hear their views. If they are
not expressed the board may take it for
granted that the county wants new
court house, located remotely from the
business center of town, and 90 ahead
and make arrangements to build it
there.
A new court house is badly needed: !:
the commissioners fully realize it; if
they can make an advantageous sale of
the present property they will be fully
justified in building one.

More Elaborate and Expensive Build
ing Now Contemplated.
The Parmly Billings Memorial Lii
brary committee bds received modified
plans from Arcb1ect Haire of Helena
for the buil9jdg tc be erected in this
city, as suggested by the generous
donors, the Billings estate of New York
City. The new plans are for more
expensive and elaborate building than
the one first decided upon by the com
mittee. There are two sets of the new
plans, each Of which are for building
somewhat larger, more ornamental and
in every way much handsomer. One
plan is for a building with circular
towers on either corner of the front
elevation, while the other plan pro-
vides for square towers Both plans
are AL improvement on those first SUBJ
mitted and one of them will likely be
selected. They have been forwarded
to the donors Of the building and when
plans are finally accepted by them, the
will proceed as rapidly as
possible with the work of construction.

The strawberry season is over, and
while the currant and raspberry match
right on without the break of even a
day, we are still loath to part with the
best berry the Lord ever made. Rich,
red and juicy, with an aroma right from
the gardens of the gods, lying in great
clusters among dewy green leaves, like
rubies on a bed of green velvet, the man
who dared to plant bed has been rev.
cling in their lusciouSness for weeks and

plant takes home two boxes of bruised
and squshy fruit for quarter, and his
wife makes a short-cake and they return
thanks and call it feast. II you can
raise corn there is no excuse for you if
you don't rails, strawberries, for the
ground that will raise bushel of corn
will give you two bushels of strawber-

season and live in faith and hope for the
crop of 1900.

Penalties for Violating Law.

When men are massed in tenement
structures and the laws of health and
sanitary science are set at defiance, ma.
ture sends the cholera, the plague, ty-
phoid fever and diphtheria as punish
ment. When man keeps hogs by the
score in filthy yard, forcing them to
get living from the excrement Of cat
tie, and giving the entrails and blood for
a dessert at some slaughter house, nature
resents this, and wipes out the hogs
with cholera. When man takes a COW
and shuts her up in a basement ana
stuffs her with brewers slops, nature
kicks again and smites the COW with tu-
berculosis, and the man and his family
who use her milk. Some day, perhaps,
men will learn not to violate natural
law, which now in their ignorance, ar
more frequently, prompted by gree, /,
they now do not hesitate to do.
