AMONG RAILROAD MEN
First Lot of Homeseekers Have
Struck Butte.
HUNTING FOR FORTUNES
Inquiries for Good Farming Lands
Open for Entry in the Vicinity OF
the Smoking City-Asklng
for Gold Mines.

Buttes portion of the Northern Pa
citic eNcursionists and homeseekers
from the East yesterday numbered
about 70. The train. with IA coaches
arrived in Butte about 9 o'clock, over
three hours late. The train left St
Paul in three sections. but at Logan
two of them were consolidated and
came by way of Butte, while the third
section went West by the way of Hell
ena. Several coaches We're dropped at
Butte and the remainder of the big
train proceeded west.
A number of the excursonists who
stopped off at Butte We're met at the
depot by friends, but the greater num-
Der of them found themselves strang-
ers in strange town. Some of the
'homeseekers" lost no time in stalking
out preliminaries for fortunes, and
called at the Northern Pacific city office
for instructions as to how to go about
it. One of them asked Mr.. Merriman
If there was much desirable farming
land open for location near Butte, and
another wanted to know of Ticket
Agent Mccormick where he would most
likely find a gold mine. Several others
came up town and handled the
most likely looking persons they met
for a two bit grub stake
The Great Northern also brought in
a small number of homeseekers, and it
may be expected that in a few days
homestead entries will be made on the
Anaconda hill and other desirable ranch
lands.
The railroad officials are astonished at
the increase in immigration to the
Northwest. Is has assumed proportions
beyond their expectations, and during
the next month they believe they will
carry not less than 5000 homeseekers in
addition to those who have already
come West.
One noticeable feature of these excur-
sions is that nearly all the travellers
have purchased one-way tickets, an in
dication that they are going West to
locate, and not on prospecting tour.
The Northern Pacific people are doing
exceedingly well with their new double
daily service. Up to the present time
II trains have arrived at Portland, Ore,
nine of which have been on time and
only one seriously delayed. During the
same period II trains have arrived at
st. Paul. Of which nine have been on
time and only three behind time, the
greatest delay being one hour. COnsid-
ering the fast schedule and the time of
the year which it was inaugurated, that
is when we are having changeable
weather and that the distance to Port
land is 2.056 miles, this performance is
exceedingly complimentary to that road.

him. The rebel chief then called in
number of naked savages, all armed, who
executed a war dance and made passes
at Peters, one of them wounding him in
the arm. The next morning he was taken
to Malolos, where he found eight Amer-
cans, two Englishmen and a Spaniard.
From here he finally secured his release
through the Intervention of American Off
cias.
The savages who attacked Peters"
continues Captain McQuesten, "were of
the tribe known as head hunters and can
nbals. They live in the interior of the is
land and will not show any mercy after
this to any unfortunate white man who
may fall into their hands,

One of the living issues in the poll

country at large knows but little OF it,
Is the never ceasing desire of Gen.
Miles to be made lieutenant general,
which is as ceaselessly opposed by his
enemies or those who hold bis pre-
tensions cheaply. Not for one mo-
ment since Miles became command
ing general has this object and it's

it had to do with some of
the most important military di-posi-
tons. Whether il had anything to do
with keeping Miles out of Cuba is a

If Gen. Miles had not pre-

attitude held by a considerable por-

believes it should be made
a party issue. When he bill

a democrat in politics, republicans in
congress cheerfully joined to confer
this honor upon him. But subsequent
ly, when it was sought to revive the
grade of lieutenant general, after
Schofeld's retirement, for Mtles's

reported to congress that Gen. Miles's

This was u1de niably the situation
when the blunderhead Eagan, more
impracticable even than Miles, pro-
duced himself and his tvpcv written
screed before the country to reverse the
situation, for hat was exactly and in
stautly the effect of his extraordinary

Ned Carlton and Probart, the car
penter, sprang in to fend off and keep
It from being stove or dashed to pieces
by the sea against the briggs side
BY the wild, weird glare that rose
in frightful columns from the main
and fore hatchways we had plenty Of
light, as It shone far over the huge

sea, to which we were about to com

RADIO
Some Of the country'g greatest solo
lists will appear during the course and
the services of one Of the finest or
chestras obtainable will be secured.
There is u sharp competition now ex-
listing among leading band masters and
orchestra leaders to secure this COW
eted honor. Satisfaction given here
means q card for the orchestra else
where.
A school and collegiate department
will be in full operation, and these
will be In charge Of the best instruc-
tors. The course will embrace lltera-
ture, languages, mathematics, natural
history, general history, pedagogy,
child study, and kindred branches and
domestic science, II there be enough
applications for the same. Philosophy,
religion, art, and music will be given
each Its important place.
1t is doubtful IL there be more sue
cessful teacher of art than Mrs. John
b. Sherwood of Chicago She Is a
great phllanthroplst as well as lee
turer, and gives the proceeds Of her
work towards the maintenance Of the
working Girls Home in Chicago. In
the Windy City she Is considered
great drawing card, and her art con-
ferences are filled with the best and
most cultured people. She was at
Boulder last year, and 1t Is possible
that she will be again welcomed there
at the Chautauqua at its second ses-
sion. She has studied in all the Euro
mean centers, and the course In art
will embrace studies Of art In all the
European cities. She travels with
real art gallery, and she illustrates by
photographs all her subjects. She Sc
cured at a great expense last year
some of the most noted paintings and,
with q heavy insurance on these, she
was able to present to her classes these
masterpieces Of the brush. The course
this year will be most earnest one,
and the knowledge gained will be
great eye.opener towards the apprecia-
ton Of the beauty In art and nature
hereafter.
In conclusion, 1t might be added that
the Chautauqua pays no dividends and
ia not conducted for personal profit.
All surplus made by the Chautauqua
is to be spent in improvements. The
auditorium came In for its share this
year and it was necessary to remodel
il a little to accommodate greater
number. The organization is COM
posed Ut men of broad sentiments, who
love this wonderful country and feel
that In the West ought to be devel-
oped q great summer-educationa and
health-giving center, where thousands
may find each year recreation and nd,
