FOR 8 DAY.
Gov. Smith Calls Upon Good Citizens to

Gov. Smith Calls Upon Good Citizens to
Plant Trees May 9th.
Governor Smith has issued the usual
Arbor day proclamation. The governor
says:
LAS winter disappears and the
earth puts on its summer robes of grass
and flowers, the season reminds us that
it is our duty to ourselves and to DOS
terity that we shall as far as i'll our
power lies assist nature to make more
beautiful our homes, public grounds
and ways. The cultivation of trees,
vines and shrubs tends to enrich our
soil and keep it moist, aud at the same
time it relieves the landscape from the
glare Of the summers sun. In addition
to the advantages thus given to the
physical aspect Of the state, a higher
M OF the artistic and beautiful is
thus begotten in u people and that
proper spirit of pride in our houses and
societies and our state is encouraged and
fostered.
1.-The Legislative assembly recognize
ing these blessings and benefits, set
aside a day to be known as Arbor Day
and directed the executive tt make proc
lamatioN of the same.
"Now, therefore, I, Robert B. Smith,
governor of the state Of Montana, by
virtue Of the law in me vested, do here
by proclaim Tuesday, the 9th day of
May, 1899, Arbor Day, and request
that all persons in the state devote a
part of that day to the planting of
trees, vines or shrubs upon their lands.
public grounds and ways, for the pnr-
pose of identifying them and serving
the interests of our state and people,"

MISS CLARA THROPP
Will Appear Here in the Mas
terpiece "a Dolps louise"

viii Appear Here in the Mas
terpiece "a Dolps House"
Probably the most interesting engage.
ment Of the present theatrical season at
the Billings opera house in this city
will be the appearance here next Thurs
day night OF that most talented and
charming of American condolences,
Miss Clara Thropp, in Henrik Ibsen's
dramatic masterpiece, "A Dolls
House.
Since Miss Thropp's wonderful sue
cess at the Duke of York's theater in
London as Nora in this remarkable
play, this clever American actress has
been regarded as being without a peer
in her special line of character depic-
tion upon the native stage. Since her
last appearance in this country in plays
of a lighter order, Mis- r.lropp has met
with distinct success as Katherine" in
Shakespeare's "The Tanning of the
Shrew'' and as "Viola" in "The
Twelfth Night" besides in other parts
that have in the past made the reputa-
ton of several of the world's greatest
actresses. For 600 nights she played
the part of Nora in London in Ibsen's
masterpiece and her depletion Of that
character became a topic for wide dis
cussion on two continents. Possibly
no dramas were ever more extensively
discussed than "Cy1ano de Bergerac'
and IA Dolls House,
Miss Thropp is modest regarding her
enviable success and ambitions. While
she is glad of her very striking success
in more serious dramas, she does not
wish to be overrated. She wishes to be
Judged and criticised in a serious man
ner by students of the great Ibsen, for
she desires that her reputation in such
parts as "Nora' will grow and multi
ply as the years roll on. IA reputation
made in the legitimate is Il that lasts
longer than the actress, she says. lit
is the serious side of life that most
concerns everyone, or at least should.
The story of "a Dolls House," the
wonderful drama in which Miss Thropp
will be seen here, is Il of engrossing
interest. Nora, the petted and spoiled
wife of Torvald Helmer, is the central
figure of the play. Her youth has been
passed as a doll child, she is Helmer's
doll-wife, and their home is "a Dolls
House" After eight years of married
life, the shadow of a dread secret
crosses her path and opens her eyes for
the first time to worldliness, selfishness
and crime. When the love and conf
dence of her husband is weighed and
found wanting the whole fabric of her
life crumbles to dust and Nora stands
revealed, a woman. Of the remarkable
characters in this much discussed play
it is not too much to say that they are
the creation of a genius whose knowl-
edge Of human nature is as profound as
it is wonderful. The engagement here
is for Thursday night.

By way Of mitigation the defendants
allege Beasley's election and his prom
Uses to uphold the principles of the re-
publican party; that he was elected in
consequence Of these promises and be-
traved them. Ihe answer then goes Oh
to recite the incidents leading up to the
etfigy hanging. How the newspapers re-
ported that W. A. Clark, can alleged
democrat" vas a candidate for United
States senator from Montana and that
he and his agents had caused to be paid
to the "Hon. Fred. Whiteside" the sum
of $50, 600 for the. purpose Of purchas-
ing votes; that it was said that Clark
was negotiating for republican votes
and that, finally. Beasley voted for
Clark for a consideration, contrary to
the principles upon which he vas elect
ed and contrary to the wishes and di-
rections of the republicans of Sweet
Grass county. That when defendants
received information of Beasley's vote
they were Inundated and believed
themselves betrayed by Beasley and
caused said efigy to be hung in the
streets Of Big Timber, not with malice,
but in the interests of public honesty
and decency, and caused the same to be
~placarded as a matter of news, SO that
the public might know what the said
Beasley had done, and how he had be-
trayed the trust reposed in him by the
people of Sweet Grass county.

IDENTIFIED THEM.

In 1864, a regiment of Confederates
from South Carolina were marching
north to join Lee. While in North Caro-
lima they camped one day on two oppo-
site hills, between which road ran. 1t
happened that an old Methodist preach
er, "a strong Unionist, lived in that vi
cinity. Early the next morning the
preacher mounted his mule and trotted
down the road, meaning to pass through
the camp to show his contempt for the
rebels" He was a very old man, with
stern face and long, white beard,
which, taken with his white hair, gave
him AN appearance decidedly patriarchal.
"Hullo, fellows, here comes Father
Abraham called one soldier to conn
rade on the opposite hill, as the old man
rode between them.
NO he isn't" shouted back the other;
''he's Father jacob"
The old parson stopped and shook the
finger of scorn at the laughing soldiers.
Il am neither Father Abraham nor
Father jacob he cried. A knot of
soldiers gathered about him.
"Well, who are you, thenW persisted
his tormentor. 1T is no use for you to
deny you are out of the old Testament
somewhere"
The old man rose in his stirrups and
waved his hand towards the camp in
comprehensive contempt
Yes, / am out of the Old Testament,
sure enough" he roared. I'm Saul the
son of Kish, looking for his fathers
asses and I've found them. "--Argonaut.

stocks continued to reflect a decidedly
uncertain frame OF mind. brooklyn
Rapid Transit refused to go up more
than a point and than slipped down
below last nights level. Its extreme
decline was 5 points, and even with q
final rally on covering by shorts, its net
loss is 3 points Metropolitan Street
Railway Jared better and has a gain Of
over 2 points. The other New York
City stocks fell off in sympathy with
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and the stocks
in the Flower group were inclined to
weakness all around. There was no
marked strength at any time.
The early advance was nominally IN
sympathy with the hope expressed in
some quarters abroad that the Trans
vaal question would find a peaceful so
luton after all. Earlier gains had
been very generally wiped out when
the bank statement appeared The first
effect Of the statement was a rally due
to buying by those who never look furth
or than the surplus reserve figures. An
analysis of the statement failed to de-
velup any very encouraging features
in it, and prices fell away again to the
lowest of the day and closed there, en-
cept for a few Specialties which raj
He'd.
The banks are stronger by a wider
margin of surplus reserve than last
week, but the statement shows a de-
crease in cash somewhat less than had
been anticipated. The outgo was great
est toward the end of the week so that
the full decrease may not be shown
under the system of averages which
the statement is made up from. CoGnt-
ing this weeks reduction of SIT, S66, 800
in loans, the total loan contraction by
the clearing house banks since August
25th, aggregates S34, 500.
Much was made early in the week
of a plan for relief of the strfngency by
an increase of national bank circulation.
1T will be observed that the total in.
crease of circulation, according to the
statement amounts to but $S5,900 for
the week.
