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


Missoula, June 2.-The employees Of
the Northern Pacific railway are now
working under the new book of rules
adopted by the company. These rules
are the result of careful elaboration on
the part of the superintendent of the
line and their superior officers and con-
tain 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 Pacific. One important change
is in regard to the movement of trains
by the dispatchers. The new 10" or
der as it is called from the number of
the form upon which it is written will
facilitate the movement of freight
trains and avoid the necessity of num-
erous stops, which, with the heavy
trains that are now run, means much
IN getting train over the division.
There are other changes which are not
easily comprehended by outsiders, put
which the railway men seem to think
are all right. The rules went into eff
feet at l O'Clock on the morning of
June l.
For several weeks a board of instruct
Ors, composed of men from the different
branches of the service, has been at
work on each division for the purpose
or famlliarizing the employees of the
dlfferent departments with the changes.
rms work is now completed and the
instructors have returned to their diff
ferent stations. In the examinations
that have taken place under these rules
there have been several men dropped
from the rolls for incompe ency, but
their loss will add to the efficiency of
the road. Men who are not able to in
terpret these rules are certainly NOT
safe men to handle the business of the
road. Most of the men on the road
seem to approve of the change.

HAMILTON HAPPEN lNGS.

Mrs. Gibbons was taken in again by
the officials last night for disturbing
the peace and quietude of her neigh
borhood by throwing rocks. Her hus
band appeared to-day and said he
would take her away from here and
take care of her, and so she was let
go. The woman has been in hard luck
and is not very strong minded, and
people are disposed to feel leniently to-
ward her. Her husband is a hard
working man and will take good care
of her If she can be got to stay with
him.
William M. Draffen, a bright young
attorney, who came here from Missouri
last winter and who has met with suffi-
cient encouragement in his profession
to induce him to remain with US, has
gone into partnership with Hon. c. M.
Crutchfield, and the firm will be
Crutchfield & Draffen in the future.
Mr.. Draffen is a hard worker and will
no doubt make name for himself. The
new departure will certainly give him
every chance.
The people of Hamilton are taking
much interest in the home news from
this place, and, as one gentleman says,
THE first thing my wife looks at when
she gets the Standard is the Hamilton

The team of horses belonging to the
lumber department of the A. C. M.
company and which were drowned last
night by slipping into the river at the
breakwater, were found to-day about
three miles down the river, both dead,
with the harness intact on them and
the stone boat still attached.
DR.. Traphagen of the agricultural COL
lege arrived from BOzeman on the
freight train this morning and has gone
out with Hon. w. B. Harlan to look
over the valley and incidentally secure
some of the soil for analysis. The pro-
lessor will remain until Saturday after
noon and return to the college that
evening.
A marriage license was issued to-day
| to William Miner and Fannie Belsher,
both of Darby.
Mrs. Lafond, wife of the tonsorial
artist in the Eagan shop, came in yes
terday from Walker, Mimi, and will
soon open up millinery stock in the
store next to the barber shop on Main
street, lately vacated by the bakery.

Too Much Booze,

Missoula, June 2.-Nels Anderson was
examined Friday morning before a
commission on lunacy and was re-
leased from custody. All that allied
him was too much booze, and his So
journ of day or two in the county
Jail had cleared up his intellect con-
siderably. Young Harris, the other
candidate for the asylum, was ad-
Judged insane and sent to Warm
Springs, where he has been before. He
is the boy who attempted to cut his
own throat while in one of his periods
of dementa this week at his fathers
home at Nine Mile.

1t Was Sad News.

Missoula, June Nv. G. Smith to-
day received the sad news of the death
of his father, Harrison Smith. at Fow-
lersville, Mich, at the advanced age of
20 years. Mr.. Smith had been notified
of his fathers illness and was prepar-
ing to leave for Michigan, but will
probably not go now. The news that
he received to-day was that his father
died as if he was going to sleep, with
out pain and with no struggle Mr.
Smith has the sympathy of his many
friends in Missoula

Missoula, June 2.--ThOse who are Wis
iting MissOula this week for the COM
mencement exercises are loud in their
praises of the new home of the State
university and its surroundings. In
deed, the spot is without parallel afs a
site for such an institution anywhere
in the West. There is no more magniti-
cent scenery anywhere than the view
that the university buildings command
and the immediate surroundings are
rapidly assuming the beauty that will
make them the most attractive grounds
in the state.

FOUND BY ROADSIDE
Connecticut Farmer Picked Up
Unconscious in Webster

Webster, Dec. 15-John Spencer
about 60 years of age, a farmer residing
ing Quinabaug, Conn, was discovered
lying on the road to Dudley, near the
Alton farm, early this morning, by 6
milkman who was coming to Webster
Spencer came to Webster yesterday
afternoon with load of lumber. He
remained in town until late in the eve
ing, when he started home. He had
been drinking somewhat.
When about a mile out of town, he
lost his balance and fell from his seat to
the ground. The wheels of the heavy
vehicle passed over him. The horse
knowing animal, continued on his
way as if nothing had happened, and
reached home safe and sound.
Spencer, while not seriously injured,
was rendered unconscious and lay in
the road until he was discovered this
morning. He is bruised in several
him, but fortunately no teams passed
over the road last night, or the accident
might have had a fatal ending.
The first game of the local basketball
team in the Massachusetts league will
be tomorrow night in Music hall, when

Railway company and others appeared
at a hearing and stated reasons why
the tracks should not be taken up
One of the principal reasons set forth
was that the Clinton cars would come
up Nam street and go out of the city
by way of Front and Summer streets
If the city would allow the necessary
connections at Washington square. The
Odd Fellows home cars are run at
present on loop from the north end
through Summer street and up Front
to Main street, and the Clinton cars
follow the same route in coming into
the city. The idea that has occurred
to members of the committee is that a
single track would answer all require
ments IN Summer street, by having
both ODD Fellows home and Clinton
cars come in by way of Main street and
go out Summer street. With this con-
dition of affairs, it is not unlikely that
the second track may be ordered out
of Summer street.
On the petition of the New England
Telephone & Telegraph company, for
pole locations in William, Fruit, Ham
ilton, Gates, Benefit and Windsor
streets and Almont and Englewood
avenues, it was voted to report recon-
mending the granting Of the petition In
part, excepting Fruit street, William
street and that part of Windsor street
between, Catharine and Harrington
streets.
Leave to withdraw will be recon-
mended on the petition of the New
England Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany for locations in Grove street,
Edgeworth street and new street be-
tween Grove and Milton streets. The
American Telephone & Telegraph com
pany already has a location in these
streets which the New England COM
pany wishes to secure in it's own name,
but as one location has already been
granted. the committee did not feel like
giving another before the first had been
given up.

Charlotte E. W. Ellington, relative to
poles and overhead wires, the commit
tee will recommend that it be placed on

DID JOSEPH NEFF
MEET WITH FOUL PLAY?
Death of a Former WeII-KnoWn
Resident of Shrewsbury in
MannfieId, Florida

Shrewsbury, Dec. 15.-Joseph Neff, a
former resident of this town, died in
Mannfieid, Fla, Wednesday, Dec. 10.
His daughter, Mrs. Oscar w. Merrifield,
received a telegraph last evening She
feared some foul play, as this is about
the time Mr. Neff gets his pension
money of about $780, and as he had to
drive IL miles through the country to
get it cashed, she feared that something
happened to him on the way. He wrote
to his wife, Mrs. Neff, who lives with
her daughter, Mrs. Merrifeld, about
four weeks ago, that he never was in
better health in his life. Mr.. Neff was
born in Worcester, Jan. l, 1898. When
the war broke out he enlisted in Com
pany II, Twenty fifth Massachusetts
regiment, and lost his right leg. He
was taken prisoner May Is, 1864, and
was discharged Sept. 6, 1854. After the
war he returned to Shrewsbury and
made boots for Capt. Fales.
Mr.. Neff lived in Shrewsbury until
about Is years ago, making many
friends, who are much grieved to hear
of his death. Mr.. Neff was member
of E. A. Andrews post, No. 1856, G.. A. R.
of this town. The burial took place al
