ALL DEPENDS ON THE SUN
Butte People Will Enjoy Them
selves if 1t Proves Fair.
W00DMEN AT DEER LODGE
Chasing the Duck Will Be Introduced al
Columbia Gardens-F Fishermen Have
Their Eye on the Big Hole
and Other Streams

If the sun gets up to-day feeling
large outpouring of Butteites. They
will journey out into the country in
every direction. The Modern Wood
men of America have planned for a
grand time in Deer Lodge. 1t is their
annual picnic and it is expected that
tiful valley city and enjoy the day in
the park surrounding the old court
house. The Miners union will picnic
al Mountain View park The Columbia
gardens will also be an attraction for
thousands. There they will see many
new things, principal among which will
be the duck chasing contest on the lake.
MS is something of a novel feature
IN the line of aquatic sports in these
parts. 1t has become a popular fad in
some parts of the East and South. A
domesticated duck is turned loose in
the lake and man jumps into a skiff
and takes one ore and tries to draw up
alongside of the duck. When he gets
into the proper position he stealthily
reaches out and grabs Mr.. Duck by
the neck-may be. If he fails in so
many attempts he is required to give
up the chase. If he is lucky and the
duck is not looking he wins a $40 prize
It's game of now you have your hand
on it, and now you don't, don't you
know. To-day will be the opening Of
a new and novel series of attra ctiouS At
the gardens. Besides the duck chas-
ing the visitors will see the De NoVas
in their trapeZe act. Young Blondin,
who takes the name of the man VINO
walked over Niagara Falls on a tight
rope years ago, will give an exhibition
of grand and lofty daring on the rope.
Then the display of moving pictures
will be seen. There will be the Fitz
and Jeffries prize fight and a Spanish
bull fight, railroad scenes, war scenes,
and the rough riders All this and more
is to be free as the water that babbles
its welcome as it trickles down through
the moss lined channel that makes
beautiful the park and it's surround
ings.
Many fishermen went down the Big
Hole last night and several wandered
over toward Race Track and other
tishy story streams in the Deer Lodge
valley. Others went out or are going
to-day to join friends who are camp

Southern Montana-to the Big Hole,

BADGER WAS BUSTED.
Tom Sharkey Took Him Out of the Bar
rel in Six Minutes.

Peter leagues badger has lowered
his colors and FoXs white bulldog,
Tom Sharliey, has won fresh laurels
and $50 for his owner. He took the
badger out of the barrel in six min
utes and did it artistically and With
out a sign Of trepidation.
Last night at the Olympia arena
about $50 men saw some of the hottest
sport they have seen in Butte for a
long time. The dog shifted about for
a few seconds. then he went in after
the badger. He caught him by the
nape of the neck and pulled his head
out, but the badger wriggled loose and
tumbled back into his hole. Tom
Sharkey" bravely went in again and
there followed a skirmish inside of the
barrel. Soon the badgers head was
seen protruding through the aperture.
The dog had worked his way behind
his adversary and, catching him In the
side, pushed him out. Once outside, the
badger ran across the pit, the dog in
hot pursuit. 1t was agreed to let the
animals fight it out for four minutes.
The badger held his own. but the dog
would no doubt have killed him in a
few more minutes of fighting.

of Maye's grounder.
In this inning Helena added one run off
a two-base hit by Condor followed by
some shady throwing and manipulating
on the part of the Butte infield Frenchs
liner was caught by Sutton and the next
two men were caught out on fouls by
Murphy
Helena was now only run behind Butte
and the home team felt the need of
boosting its lead. There was a splendid
chance to add several runs in the eighth
inning. but only one was added al
though four hits We're made in the inn
ing by the Buttes. Murphy led off with
scratch hit to the pitcher. Williams
followed with scratch to third. Muir
ply was thrown out at second. Williams
made clever steals of second and third
and ran home on Gallagher's clean hit to
left. Sutton struck out. Gallagher gain
ed third on Sullivan's hit and both were
left by Condons catch of Kings liner.
Helena brought forward her heavy bat
tiers in her half of the eighth and won
the game right there. Arneson was re-
tired on the start on a fly to Williams.
Then Lloyd batted clean hit to left
field. and reached second on a passed
ball. He scored on Hammond's safe one
over second base. A two-bagger by Bur-
ton into left field scored Hammond and
lltu me score. Ryan smashed the Dall
over second for two good bases and Bur-
ton came home. putting Helena one run
in the lead. Condor was put out at first
on throw by Moran. French batted
hard one to second base. which Williams
took cleverly. running. on high bound.
and recovering quickly threw to first
The ball reached frs about the same
time that French did. 1t seemed to most
of the spectators that French was out
but the umpire called him safe. Had
he been declared out the inning would
have closed with a total of five runs for
Helena and Butte would still have had
a chance for the game. As it was Ryan
scored on the play, French reached sec
ond on passed ball and third on Good
years hit to short Freemans hit
scored French.
AS Arneson went to bat King was ia
ken out of the box and McDonough sub
stituted. The first ball pitched by Nc
Donough was passed by Murphy and
Goodyear scored. Then Arneson struck
out and the frishtful inning closed.
Ii was indeed forlorn hope for Butte
as they went to bat in the ninth inning
with four runs needed to tie. Flannery
batted fly which Burton caught. Mo-

three bases and came home on Maye's
sacrifice. That was all Butte could get

CADETS HAVE A BUSY TIME.
Navel Heroes in Embryo Have Plent.
to Do on Training Ships

to Do on Training Ships.
From the Boston Transcript
Midsummer is generally considered a
good time to refrain from intellectual
effort, but whether the cadets on board
the training ship Annapolis, now at Bos-
ton, think so or not they do not have
very good opportunity to carry out
such theories. From early morning un-
til night there is a round of activities
aboard the ship or on the shore under
the guidance of their officers, designed
to teach them something new about
naval construction, practical seaman
ship and related subjects Yesterday
morning, for example, the students
who come from the Annapolis training
school, and will be graduated in 1900
arose, according to custom, a o'clock
At I breakfast was served and at the
students We're on their way to the
CharlestoWn navy yard. Here they
We're divided into three sections, one
visiting the ropewalk to watch the
manufacture of wire cables, another 60
ing to watch the manufacture of
anchors and the testing of chain links,
and the third viewing some ship con-
struction. They all carried note books
and took notes. including rough draw
ings, on everything they saw. Shortly
after noon they went back to the ship,
where dinner was served, and after din
nef the tables were cleared and every
one went to work to elaborate his notes
and to finish the drawings made on
shore.
After the evening meal there is a lit
tie time for recreation. The student :
gather under a canvasaw awning stretched
over the upper deck and amuse them
selves with songs, stories and athletic
exhibitions. In the latter diversion
foils, boxing gloves, parallel bars, etc,
are brought into use, and the deck as
sumes the appearance of a gymnasium.
Saturday and Sunday are allowed them
for recreation under certain restric-
ti0nS.
In the course of the summer cruise
the cadets have an opportunity to gain
practical experience in about every de-
partment of steamship and naval appli-
ance. They act as assistants to the
executive officer and the navigator, use
the seXtant, make observations, keep
the log and are taught the same duties
that dcvolve upon the commissioned
officers of the ship. At one time when
steam was shut down and sails used

Notes of the Game,

1t was a game worthy of a much larger
attendance.
Murphy apparently had hard work
handling Kings delivery
Burton, always popular in Butte. was
loudly applauded in spite of the fact that
he appeared in a Helena uniform
French will play all right when he gets
over the stage fright. He was little too
anxious. and therefore did not play his
best.
Williams can play second base with the
best of them
King is great on foul balls Twenty-one
fouls were batted from his pitching YES
terday.
There was quite a gang of Helena root
ers on the ground.
There will be another game this after
noon and Butte will try hard to redeem
the lost laurels.
Ryan is great pitcher Although hit
freely all through the game, he kept the
hits well scattered and could not be rat
tied at any situation
The game this afternoon will heein OF
o'clock promptly.

be declared as well as political indepen-
dence. The princes of the market are to
go with the kings Of former times. The
aristOcracy of the dollar must follow the
aristocracy Of birth. All men must be
free and equal before the dollar in or
der to be free and equal before the law.
All men are to have voice in control
ling the business affairs with which they
are connected, as we'll as the political
affairs Of the city, State or nation to
which they belong. Political democracy
Is but a name without industrial democ-
racy. The privilege of monopoly is to
give way to the democracy of public
ownership. The struggle of workers and
the mastery of employers Is to give place
to cooperative partnerships The con-
fict of industrial groups is to give way
to a great industrial union federation
Of cooperative groups under wise and
simple industrial constitution, just as the
dissenslons Of the thirteen States gave
way to a great political union under the
Federal constitution. The lower self in
terest Is to give way to the higher self
interest-the egOtistic to the altruistlc.
The love of money is to give place to
the love Of man. Such IS the great ideal
that is moulding the present coming age.
Will you make the ideal your own, or
will you bar your mind against 1t, and
choke the way to your heart with your
pocket book and your prejudice? VIII
you turn your face to the coming age,
or will you turn your back upon It, and
do your best to pull the world back to-
ward the PaleOzolc age or the Eozolt
age? Choose and work.

companies will undoubtedly be upheld
on a showing that the local rates compel
such a course.
This is the way Of all legislation that
sets class against class. AT the special
session a law was passed reducing tele-
graph rates-dO you think that the re-
duction will come out Of the pockets OF
the people who make the big profits from
telegraph tolls? Not for minute. The
Western Union Company has given out
that salaries are to be reduced, and other
changes are to be made which will give
us a service as much worse as it is at
present as the present service is below
what it ought to be. The Postal Tele-
graph Company will not only reduce
wages, but has stopped all plans for ex-
tension of its lines within the State.
Some time we shall send men to the
legislature who will have studied this
problem up to a knowledge Of the truth
that one must strike at the root Of the
trouble. Then they will evolve legisla-
ton that will not be serving one class at
the expense Of another, but will work for
the greatest good of the greatest num-
ber in it's rational meaning-the greatest
good for all. When we get men who will
work intelligentIy and unfalteringly for
the extension of democracy to industry
we shall have attained this end.
