III Among the Assured Enterprises
for Billings the Coming
Spring.
A NEW BRICK BUILDING
will Be Erected and a $4,000
Stock of Goods Put In-Sell
to Trade Only.

o. e. Mills Of Red Lodge, who is at
the head Of the wholesale grocery house
to be opened in this city early this
spring, arrived in Billings Sunday
night on his return home from New
York and the east, where he placed the
order for his new goods. Mr.. Mills
was met here by John Walsh Of Butte.
who is interested with him in his new
enterprise.
In talking with The Gazette reporter
about his contemplated wholesale and
retail house, Mr.. Mills said it was an
assured fact. "We have secured the
lot between the fire hall and the Boze-
man brewery storage house" said Mr..
Mills, and as soon as the weather will
permit we will commence the erection
thereon Of a fine two-story brick build.
ing with basement.
The firm will be known as the Bill
ings Wholesale Grocery company, with
MI. Mills in active charge. A COM
plete stock, worth $780, 600, will be
put in at the start and, true to it's
name, the firm will sell to the trade
only. It's territory will comprise all
that east from Bohemian to Wibaux on
the Northern Pacific, from Billings to
Red Lodge and northern Wyoming. and
to Edgemont. S. D., On the Burlington.
Commercial travellers will be placed on
the road to solicit orders. Mr.. Mills
said that he would buy direct from first
hands and would therefore be enabled
to sell to the retailers just as cheap as
the st. Paul and Minneapolis jobbers.
This being the case, it will mean quite
an object to our grocery dealers as we'll
as the people.
The boom in Billings has only just
begun. This year it will surpass all
others and the city will still march on
ward.

WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS.
The Wonderful Artistfc Feats Per-
formed by Joanna KOetren.

The Wonderful Artistic Feats Per-
formed by jeanne Koetren.
More than 200 years ago a little girl
was born at Amsterdam, Holland.
whose name was jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child in that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport,
but found her greatest delight in max
ing copies Of things about her, initial
ing in wax every kind Of fruit and
making on silk. with colored floss, ex-
act copies of paintings. which were
thought wonderful.
But after she had become very &C.
complished in music, spinning and en-
broidery, she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that Of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
rine views, flowers, animals and por-
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for a time quite the
wonder of Europe. She used white pa
pers for her cuttings, placing them over
a black surface, so that the minute
openings made by her scissors formed
the eight and shade.
The czar, Peter the Great. and others
Of high rank paid her honor. One man
high in Office vainly offered her 1000
forms for three small cuttings. The
empress Of Germany paid her 1000
forms for a trophy she had cut, bearing
the arms Of Emperor Leopold. crowned
with eagles and surrounded by a gar
land of flowers. She also cut the en-
peror's portrait, which can now be seen
in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. a
great many people went to see her, and
she kept a book in which princes and
princesses wrote their names.
After she died, which was when she
had lived 60 years, her husband. Adrian
Block. erected a monument to her
memory and had designed upon it the
portraits of these titled visitors. Her
cuttings were SO correct in effect and SO
tasteful as to give both dignity and
value to her work and constitute her an
artist whose exquisite skill with the
scissors has never before or since been
equaled. Lewiston Journal.

South Dakota's Wealth.

Railroad Gazette: The state
has become one of the leading
wealth producers OF the union
and produces more wealth in pro-
portion to its population than
any other state, thus standing at
the head as a wealth producer.
This statement may surprise
many even of cur friends but it is
a cold -blooded fact, as shown by
the government figures and other
reliable sources of information.
The principal reason for this IS
the immense diversity of her
sources of income or wealth pro-
duction.
South Dakota is now third in
the production of gold of all
states in the union; She is also
third in the production of wheat.
First in the production of fax,
abont fifth III barley, oats ord rye,
about eight in wool and about
tenth in live stock. She is also
high up among the top states if
the production of dairy products,
and is liberal producer of al
most all known minerals and coal.

Republican Congressional Leader In
sensible--A Bad Night.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 1899.-Represen-
tative Dingley was not quite SO well this
morning. The weather is muggy and the
atmospher heavy which affected him un
favorable and caused renewed fears that
in his weakened state the best efforts Of
the physicians might not avail to save
him.
Mr.. Dingley spent very restless night,
and this morning he had high fever and
was quite little weaker.
At II o'clock Mr.. Dingley was in very
weak condition. He was unable to recos-
rize those about him, and the fact that
his pulse remained practically stationary
was the only hopeful sign. When DR..
DeaIe, his physician, left this. forenoon
it was announced that Mr.. Dingley was n
a very critical condition, though there has
been no alarming change save IN IT. n
friends and the public in his condition
continued in evidence during the day, and
Speaker Reed and many members of both
Houses of Congress were among tle host
of inquirers as to his condition.
