Israel, for the city district, completed
his returns for 1899, and a summary Of
his report was published. showing an
increase of S1s5. 40 on personally and
SlO2,78 on real estate. Yesterday, Az
SCISSOR Robert Anderson, of the country
district, completed his tabulatIOns and
submitted his books TO County Clerk
Robertson. His returns show an in
crease of realty assessments Of $4,000,
but on personally there is decrease
footing up I45.6S5, making a net de-
crease In the country district Of Ss,675.
This decrease is brought about by the
fact that one taxpayer in Pleasant VAL
ley returned for &4s.75O personally this
year, while his return for 1898 was
31Os,7OO. But for this one instance there
there would have been handsome In
crease in the country district on both
personally and realty.

PonsIons on the P. R. R.

A prominent official OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company states that
after several years consideration con-
clusion has practically been reached as
to the creation of pension and super
annuation fund for the benefit of the
employees OF the company.
II is understood that seventy years
has been fixed upon as the age for com
pulsory retirement, and that employees
who have been thirty years In the SER
vice, but have not attained that age,
will be entitled to the benefits OF the
fund upon the report Of the committee
which will have the administration OF
the fund.
The pension allowance will be based
upon length OF service and the average
wages received by the employe during
such service.
1t is estimated that II will require a
payment by the company Of about $780,
900 per annum to make the fund eitec-
tive. The preliminary arrangements
are now being made, so that at the
meeting In the fall final action may be
taken by the board. and the fund put In
operatIon, This fund will not interfere
at all with the employees relief fund,
but will work In entire harmony there
with, and the regulation governing the
fund will be finally shaped through
conferences between executive OF af-
fairs OF the company. the general mama
ger. the comptroller, and the advisory
committee OF the relief department.
The creation OF this fund adds another
to the many advantages enjoyed by the
employees OF the company, as It pracu-
cnliy provides n pension for those
whose long and faithful services enti-
tie them to this contribution.

Forgotten but Not Gone.

From the Detroit Free Press
q He walked along with bowed head
His mind, it seemed, was flying back
across the years to the halcyon days of
long ago when he was younger, when
the world was younger
He tapped the pavement lightly with
his cane and al the corner stopped. He
raised his head and in the old eyes a
little of the light of youth seemed to
shine. A moisture gathered that ne
brushed away with the back of his
hand, then, bowling the gray head
again, he walked on.
He knocked into a market woman in
his revery. What's the matter wild
YEP she yelled at him jeeringly.
q beg your pardon, madam" was all
he said, in a gentle tone, the tone of
gallant of the old school.
AT further corner he stopped again.
Move on thayre, now" cried a po-
liceman, cycling him with a suspicious
glance.
The man bowed and smiled and fell
back into his revery.
BY and by he came to a big brick
house. AT the yard walk he turned and
looked up, then he picked his way to
the steps, mounted them, and for an in
slant hesitated on the porch. He looked
all around him. He was alone, forgot
ten unknown. He had room upstairs.
That was his home. The world no long
er held a memory of him.
He opened the door and entered. The
door closed behind him.
And once vice president of the
United States of America vanished.

French girl, away from her home in

from her prosecutors and was taken in
charge by the police Lacrosse at once
deposited money with Edmund Levy
with which to buy the girl a ticket back
to Paris and then disappeared. Levy
bought the ticket and turned it over to
the police. The friends of the scoun-
drel are trying to get the girl out of the
country to save him from being prose-
cuted, and to this end told the police
stories about her having been a de-
PRAYED creature before she came to
Butte in the hope that the ladies of the
Associated Charities and the authori-
ties would consent to her taking the
ticket and returning to Paris. AS these
stories were doubted, a physician was

CHARMING PERFORMANCE.
A Large Audience Enthusiastic Over the
Glee Club Concert.


The Grand opera house was packed
last night on the occasion of the Silver
Bow Glee club concert. The concert
was beyond doubt the finest musical
event ever participated in by local tai
emit. The Glee club itself is compcs d
of some of the best male voices in the
state and the club was assisted last
night by number of well known and
talented vocalists. instrumentalists and
the Alice band. Nearly every number
on the programme was encored. Among
the especially good numbers was the
famous sextette from Lucia, which was
magnificently rendered by Mrs. Butler,

in the opinion that any plan of smoke

time to do a series of experimenting in
the upper atmosphere for the purpose
of determining whether at a point 500 or
600 feet above the ground air currents
may be found to exist when none are

dent fact that should the upper. strata
of the air be calm and still at times
