Bozeman, May 1S.-There seems to be
wave of retrenchment sweeping over
the officers of the various departments
in the city of Bozeman and county of
Gallatin; desire to cut down expenses
in various quarters in order to lessen
the burdens of the taxpayers. BoZe-
man has come within the last few
years to be the college and school town
of the state. The staff of teachers in
the public schools is one to be proud of,
and the standard reached by those who
graduate from the high school is higher
than any other like Institution in Mon
tana. This year there will be II grad
yates from the Bozeman high school,
and it has always been the rule for the
graduates to deliver some composition
of their own to a large audience of pa
rents and friends in the opera house on
commencement night Owing to the
large number of graduates it had been
rumored around town that there would
be two evenings devoted to the high
school commencement exercises, so that
all of the graduates could be heard and
the programme so divided that neither
of the evenings would be too lengthy
for the comfort of the listeners. This
mas DeeIl ONeIIuleu ny LIE SCilOul DodId,
it is presumed, on the ground of ex-
pense, and in order to shorten the exer-
cises only nine graduates will appear
to represent the class Of '99. When it
is taken into consideration that the col
lege takes up a whole week for COM
mencement it seems a little hard that
the high school cannot have two even
| ingS set aside for a similar purpose.
| But of course, the school tax is quite
| high and the additional expense would
| be quite an item.
! At a class meeting this afternoon the
following were selected by ballot to
| deliver orations, essays, ETC.: Edna
Lewis, Lucille Quaw, Edith Wynn, Ar
| Brown and Oliver Railey. The valedic-
| tory is to be delivered by Miss Madge
| Hartman, eldest daughter of Walter S.
| Hartman, and the salutatory by Miss
| Ellen Gottschalck, daughter of G.
| Gottschalck. The exercises will take
place in the opera house on June 2. On

sermon will be preached in the opera
! house by one of the ministers of the
| town. The class for this year is COM
| posed of the following boys and girls:

FATTENING STOCK.
Feeding heterogeneous Foods In Con-
nectiOn with Corn Is the Most
Scientific System.

The writer does not believe in con-
fining the diet of fattening animals en-
tirely to corn, except, perhaps, during
the last week or two of life. Corn is
too carbonaceous to employ alone. By
feeding heterogeneous foods in connec-
ton with corn we are following a more
reasonable and scientific method, and
are sure of securing increased weight
as well as better quality of meat prod
Ucts. Glover and alfalfa are the ideal
forage crops for sheep, hogs and cattle,
and young animals in general cannot
have better life than to run upon pas
lures, upon which these leguminous
plants are making thrifty growth; and
the mature stock preparing for the
shambles should also get plenty of
clover or alfalfa (either green or dried
into hay), in connection with their ra-
tions of grain.
There can be no doubt but that beeves
with reasonable feeds of clover will be
able to digest more corn and do it to
better purpose than if corn alone were
fed them while fattening.
Furthermore, l would always use
bran and linseed or cottonseed meal
to mix with the corn meal, that is, when
ever prices would admit of such meth
cd of procedure. That such is better
than the feeding of simple corn or corn
meal does not admit of any doubt, since
the bran not only contains protein;
but also possesses such mechanical
lightness as to separate the particles
of the heavier meal and allow the proc
ess of digestion to proceed more easily,
rapidly and thoroughly. Then the oil
meals are not only good for fattening,
but give variety and promote assimila-
tion.-National Rural.

OF which once boosted prosperous
farms, but are now stunned as the
haunts of the predatory Kabyles are
stunned by the Algerian settlers.
In the Sierra Mesilla, northeast of
Bayamo, the industrial population has
almost entirely disappeared under the
terror of the freebooters, whose camp
fires can be seen smoking in the sum-
mit-glens, and whose constant raids at
last ceased to leave the farmers a Iiv-
ing share in their agricultural prod
ucts. The Cerro de Cobre, some so miles
forther south, is approached only by
cattle hunters with military escort;
travellers who have attempted the passes
of the old overland road have rarely re-
turned to tell the results of the all but
inevitable encounter with the scouts of
the outlaws. The valley formed by
"a &c IL.
Province of Puerto Principe, was long
dreaded as haunt of runaway slaves,
and these refugees have now been
joined by desperadoes numerous enough
to become savagely aggressive. Their
neighbors, too, have abandoned hun
dreds of farms that can no longer he
hoped to repay the toll of tillage. In
stress of circumstances the outlaws exc
out subsistence by hunting and fish
ing, but withal continue to extend the
range of their marauding expeditions;
and last winter one of their restless
leaders was caught and hanged by a
posse of eXasperated rancheros, on the
charge of having decorated his head
quarters den with arabeSques of human
heads, mailed up spread-eagle fashion,
or like collection of dried fern-leaves."
The total value of the property de-
strOyed by these moss troopers has
been computed to exceed half bill
lion dollars, and list of their muir
ders would resemble the bulletin of

Profit from Young Pigs.

Owing to the small proportion of
waste meat and bone on the hog it
makes cheaper flesh food than can be
produced from any other domestic an
imal. If we add to this the great rap
idity with which herd of swine will
increase it is hardly to be wondered at
that breeding sow has always been
regarded as the best stock a poor
farmer can keep. The sow may be
bred three times year, but unless she
is two years old or over twice year is
enough. Young pigs are always sala-
BILE to those who want to grow and fat
ten them. Even the fall pigs can usu-
ally be sold for roasters when they are
from eight to ten weeks old, and this is
perhaps the best way to dispose of
them, as the fall pig is very apt to be-
come stinted if kept through the win

STREET CAR EPISODE.
Little Willie Got Something from
His Indulgent Ma That He
Didn't Ask For.

81 meet a good many strange people, -
said the street car conductor, as he
stopped the car to let the fat party
off, 'Dut yesterday l think capped the
climax.
IAN overdressed woman and a small
boy got on my car, and as l rang up
their fares the small boy became in
terested in my bell-punch and insist
ed on Singing the little bell just like |
did.
Il couldn't see my way clear to anus
ing children at five cents ring, and
said as much.
Then the woman fared up and said
she thought that l might let little Will
lie ring the bell if he wanted to.
Il kept my temper and explained to
her that the street car company collect
ed five cents from me for every time
that the bell was pulled.
'She put her fat hand into her pocket
book, and. extracting 25 cents, handed
it to me, and said, haughtily:
You may let little Willie ring five
times
Now, one of the company's rules
says that we must be polite and oblig-
ing at all times, so l submitted.
Little Willie, with a coo of delight,
rang the bell, while l stood there like
a fool; the mother beamed, and roar
went up from the passengers.
''As | escaped to the other end of the
car the woman said, with toss of her
head:
Little Willie always gets what he
asks for
"a moment later little Willie con-
ceived the plan of ringing up his moth
er, using her ear as handle, and Civ
ing it such jerk as to bring tears to
her eyes.
"Then little Willie was turned down
and got what he should have received
in the first place-a good spanking.
'Then an unfeeling passenger re-
marked in an audible tone of voice that
that was probably the first time that
little Willie ever got something that he
didn't ask or."-N. Y. World.

Grape Vines Early Bearers.

Almost every body if asked what fruit
comes earliest into bearing would an
swer strawberry, which is correct. But
a close second to it is the grape vine
which may also be made to bear one or
two punches the year after planting.
The difference in favor of the grape
vine is that each year the vine becomes
more productive, while the strawberry
bed has to be plowed out and replanted
after the second or possibly the third
year. The strawberry plant makes it's
owner keep up constant fight with
weeds to get much good fruit. 1t is
hardly strange thae one of the Bible
writers makes sitting down under his
own vine and fig tree the best illustra-
ton of rural happiness and content
nent.

Some of the new and very smart shirt
waists have no yokes in the back at all,
but merely show tcks, which run
lengthwise all the way to the neck. The
yoke in the back has had an almost I'M
precedented vogue in time when fash
ions change every hour, and so, doubt
less. this departure will be hailed with
much satisfaction by those who love
variety. The double-pointed yoke will
have its following, however, and, in
deed, more changes will be rung on this
feature during the season than were
ever dreamt of before. To the very
long-waisted woman the yoke was a
blessing that improved her figure. and
it will probably be her sbort-wasted
sister, therefore, who will adopt the

SPEEDY TORPEDO BOATS.
Record of the Hal Lung VIII PrOba-
bly, BE Broken by n New
English Boat.

Since the celebrated Turbinia has
been robbed of her laurels as the fast
est boat atloat by the English-bu;lt Hal
Lung, constructed for the Chinese gov
eminent, the Englishmen are banking
their hopes on the new boat now under
construction of the Turbinia type.
The Chinese boat is credited with
having made a run of 1872 knots
at an average speed of over 35
knots an hour. The highest speed
realized during the run was 36.7 knots,
or 1926 miles, per hour. The best run
of the Turbinia for a mile is 35 knots, so
that the Hal Lung has a substantial
lead.
The most remarkable feature of this
boat, next to her speed, is the fact that
she is fitted with reciprocating engines.
At the time the Turbinia made her phe-
nomenal speed it was popularity sup
posed that it was due to her new form
of motor. In great part, no doubt, it
was, but there is reason to believe that
the excellent steam-raising qualities of
her boilercontributedin no little degree
to the result. Relatively considered,
the performance of the Turbinia was
more meritorious, for the reason that
she is only Acton craft, while the Schi-
chau boat is OF $50 tons displacement,
or AZ times larger. The new and en-
larged Turbinias will be full-sized tor
pedo boats, and for this reason tits like
ly that they will surpass the Hal Lung
by considerable margin of speed. Just
what the excess will be is a matter
which is exciting much speculation in
naval quarters.-Scientif American.

The Telegram Letter.

The French authorities have just in
troduced the telegram letter. The in
novation applies to communications
with the French colonies, and its adj
vantages are-taking Lyons to NADIA
gascar as an eXample-that one saves
the time that letter would take to get
from ] vons to Marseilles (the port of
shipment,) and from Majunga (the port
of discharge) to Tananarivo-from ten
to twelve days at least. Besides, the
telegram letter is considerably less
costly than a telegram. Telegram let
tiers addressed to a receiver at the port
Of discharge have to pay sc. a word
with a minimum of SOC, in addition to
15c. for postal carriage, so that one of
25 words from Lyons to Majunga would
cost If. 4Oc.; for delivery in the interior
the telegraphic charge will be 10c. a
word, with a minimum of IT,, so that a
telegram letter from Lyons to Tanan-
arivo would cost Of. 60c. The usual
cable cost for Madagascar is If.
10c. word, and the cost of such mes
sage as mentioned above would there
fore amount to 177f. soc. Similar ar
rangements are to be made in the col

the vengeance of one loved and then
cast off with mocking soorn. The
man in the case was the brother-in-

tragic death on the night of October
6, 1898, sent thrill of surprise and
horror through every American
