Great Falls, Mont, Nov. 6.-Some-
thing of a sensation has been caused by
the arrest in Choteau County of State

Green on charge of stealing sheep. 1t
Is alleged that these men got away with
band of sheep numbering l,737 be-.
longing to Taylor Bros. and Others
At the preliminary examination both
were held in $1,000 bonds. Senator
Philips il one Of the republican legis.
lators who voted for Senator Clark last

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Joseph Amber, the tailor, last week
purchased the lot adjoining the corner
owned by G. B. Metzger, and started to
build ! shop upon it. He bought some
old logs and commenced the erection OF
! log cabin about ten fact square, and
AFTER il was up ready for the roof. some
miscreant or niiscreanIs, sailed forth
shout midnight and RACED the structure
to the ground. Nothing daunted, the
old tailor again began the work Of re-
construction. and lie and his contractor,
Eric Erickson. worked faithfully from
carly morn until late ut night in repair
ing The damags--in fact, they worked
hard two whole days-and had pro-
crossed 90 far with their work as to
haye placed the roof in position. But
after they had gone to supper the second
night the old mans evil genius again
appeared unseen by human eye, and 10

building was not made of brick. But
whatever is the cause, it is evident that
the log buildings will no longer stand on
the main streets of Williston; and
whether it be fairies from heaven or
COLLINS damned that are doing this
work, the old man is satisfied he will
never be able to unrayel the mystery.

them and halve them lengthways. Now
put the yolks into mortar with a we'll

these smoothly together, working in as

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

In the African elephant both sexes
have ivory tusks, while in the Asiatic
they are generally restricted to the
male.
The copper production of the United
States in the year 1898 was the largest
ever recorded in a single year, or a
total of 535,900,232 pounds of fine cop
per, which was an increase over 1897
of 34,529,937 pounds, or 6.S per cent.
A New York exchange states that
farmers have been wasting cornstalks
to the value of 100000, 900 year. They
are good for ''hole-stoppers" for battle
ships, cardboard, paper, foundation for
dynamite, cattle food and glue. The
difficulty, however, is to sell them for
the money.
NJ. Patti dial Pozzo, an engineer from
Tunis, has invented deep sea diving
apparatus, which has been tried with
out accident at depth of ITO feet near
Cherbourg. The inventor declares his
purpose Of searching for the hull of the
Alabama, which lies where she was
sunk by the Kearsarge, off Cherbourg
harbor.
According to Prof. Packard, in the
fifth report of the United States ento-
biological commission, the oak tree is
inhabited by 442 species of insects, the
willow by 22a, the pine by ITO, the hick-
DRY by 40, the birch by III, the maple
by 1O2, the poplar by 100, the elm by
%, the chestnut by sc, the wild cherry
by Sc, the thorn by 46, the walnut by
Al, the butternut by 20 and the wild
plum by 21.
People have been poisoned with bread
containing salts of lead, which came
from the timber used to heat the oven.
The Paris council of hygiene has, there
fore, forbidden the employment of
painted or implanted wood from old
houses, old sleepers impregnated with
creosote or sulphate of copper, and dis
used blocks of wood paving for heating
ovens, on the ground that poisonous
volatile salts may arise from them and
deposit on the roof or floor of the oven.
H. Schaw has invented method of
blasting by electricity and steam COM
bined. Mr.. Schaw found by experiment
that it would be easy to boil water in a
cartridge by using thin coil of plati-
mum wire through which electricity
is sent. The steam pressure within
the cartridge would rise to $50 pounds
per square inch and far in excess of
that. If the water cartridge is success
full in mining its application to heavy
blasting may be made of use by railroad
engineers, western mining concerns
and in large quarries.

What Paper Costs.

Ladies who go shopping have little
idea OF the cost of their trip, even in
such minor detail as the cost of paper
for the package they have sent home.
A Baltimorean has recently compared
the weight of paper with the food sup
Piled to the purchaser. In one days
purchases it is said that the paper wrap
ping amounted 20 about ten per cent.
OF the total. In a list of supplies cost
ing about S1.40 he found that the paper

cost 14a cents.-N. Y. World.

Bank whose trial at Fargo has :
tracted considerable interest has been

The regular monthly meeting of the
City Trustees was held Monday night
and proved of considerable interest to

pledged to give the people a voice in
the matter.
The new electric light company
asked permission to string wires
throughout the city, and it was de-
