It IS NOT AESTHETIC
A Scheme to Bring Ridicule on
the Legislators.
HEADS STRUNG ON WIRES
AS Perfume Generator the Method
Has No Competitor-Placard
Tell the Story OF
Deep Laid Plot.

Missoula, May 14.-Up in the office of
the county clerk Mr. Wilkinson and
his facetious associates, unmndful of
the deep wisdom and lofty motives that
governed the members of the late leg
islative assembly when it passed the
bounty law which requires the county
clerks to string the coyote and wolf
heads on a wire when the Iounties have
been paid, have rudely and inconsider
ately strung three coyote heads upon
wire and exposed them to the gaze of
the vulgar multitude. OF course, dur
ing the present cold weather. the heads
have not become offensive to the smell,
and they might be assumed to be placed
where they are as ornaments, illuStra-
tive of the tenetS of a new school of
decorate ton. But the guileful inhabitants
of the office have attached to the heads
certain placards of such size as to at
tract attention and of such purport as
to remove any false impression as to
the real motive of the clerk and his as
sociates in placing the heads in the con-
spicuouS positions that they occupy.
Nobody who reads the inscriptions upon
these placards will think for a minute
that they We're placed there for any
deStietc ulpooe. Ing iliotlNe tiidt
prompted the act is base one, as re-
vealed by the sentiments expressed
upon the cards. 1t shows that the clerk
and his deputies are not able to fathom
the depth Of the wisdom of the minds
that framed the law. The shallow and
thouehtless servants of the public
whose duty it is to record the legal
nsactions of the county are not able
to grasp the situation as it should be
seized and have wandered far from the
truth in their Interpretation of the pur-
pose of the law that they are bound to
enforce. These are the legends that are
borne by the cards:
"These are county records
"Please don't handle these records.
"PeTfume generators. Mode of pro-
curing invented and patented by the
members of the Sixth legislative as
sembly of the state of Montana"

A HORSE FOR SALE.
But 1t Wouldn't Have Happened il OF
Had Had a Gun,

Had Had Gun.
Missoula, May 14.-Ore Erickson, the
Bitter Root lumber king. has been in
town over Sunday. He told the boys
at the mill that he was coming down
to attend church. but he reached here
early enough last night to attend the
performance of the "Devils Auction"
and nobody has yet reported that he
went to church to-day. But that is all
right. Ole has had a lot Of trouble dur
ing the past week. He paid fancy
price for a high-bred road horse, and
he thought that he had the king of the
road. He has, but he has a big bin for
shade trees and other property that
the horse destroyed one day during the
week and the way it came about was
this:
Ole drove his horse to the house of
neighbor, where quite party of friends
had gathered. During the visit he ma
turally took occasion to eXpatiate upon
the merits of his steed. This led to a
challenge from one of the other men,
bers of the party, a man from Missou-
la, for road race. Ole accepted. The
race was to be from the time of har-
Messing till the time of arrival at the
10-mile post. The men went to the
stable and the race began. Ole led a
little in the Harvesting and climbed into
his buggy with the assurance of one
who has his race already Won. The
other man rushed his Harvesting and
iumned into his buggy and was off, Not
so Ole He jumped into the buggy all
right. but he didn't start. The horse
had made other arrangements. He went
sideways and backward till he had sue
ceeded in destroying a lot of valuable
shade trees and fruit trees and in ruin
ing flower beds and other features of
attractiveness about the premises. He
didn't kill the geese because they left,
| Finally the horse vas stopped and led
out of the ward. after he had been I'M
hitched from the buggy. There were
ladies present and Ole couldn't swear,
but he whispered TO the man who as
sisted him to unhitch: IF only had 4
| gun That's all want" In the mean
| time the other party to the race had
| won out. Ole has a good horse for
| sale.

MISSOULA NOTES.

The ordinance in regard to leaving
horses unhitched on the streets should
receive some attention from the officers.
Calvin Pixley is not expected to live
"a hours. He has suffered two severe
paralytic shocks recently, and has
failed gradually ever since.
The mineral land commissioners will
begin their field work this week, with
headquarters at Plains. The board will
for the present have it's headquarters
at the Hotel MCGOWAN.
Alternating warm rains and sunshiny
days are clearing off the snow from the
hills in good shape. The rivers and
streams are all filing up this week. and
the snow is going off rapidly.

ALLEYS NOT CLEANED.
But the Street Department Has Begun a
Gratifying Campaign.


Gratifying Campaign.
Missoula, May Accompanies are
still made that the alleys of the city
are not cleaned. The street department
has begun a campaign that is crafty
ing to those who like to see the city in
good condition, but there is still much
to be desired in the alley line. There
are still heaps of rubbish and other
trash in many alleys that have not been
removed, even though the owners of
AUDITING property have been ordered to
remove the heaps of filth. The health
officer complains that no attention is
paid to his notices to clean up and that
his instructions are disregarded. If the
health officer has not the power to en-
force his orders, the board of health
ought to back him up in the matter
and see to it that his instructions are
carried out to the letter. One or two
arrests in this connection would give
negligent property owners little
wholesome respect for the health de-
partment Many seem to be lacking IN
this quality at present. There have
been many complaints made during the
past week that no effort is being made
to clean alleys and back yards. The
health officer says that the people will
not clean up when he tells them to.
That is the situation. If the health ott1-
Ger has not the power to compel clean
ing when he orders it he should either
be given this power or else his office
dispensed with.

A Large Attendance of Odd Fellows and
Friends Of Deceased


Friends of Deceased.
Missoula. May 1.-the funeral of e. w.
Philips was held this afternoon from the
Odd Fellows hall. There was large at
tendance of Odd Fellows and other friends
of the deceased, who was well known and
very popular in this city, where he had
lived for long time. Mr. Phillips was
remarkable man in many ways. A me-
chan1c OF unusual, ability. he also possess
Ell a genius for invention that aided him
greatly IN MS work and his services were
always in demand. He was one of the
tlrst in this city to take up amateur pho
tography, and he eXcelled in this work as
in whatever else he undertook Not salts,
fled with the cameras that he had pur"
chased. Mr.. Phillips last year constructed
one himself. buying only the lens. The
instrument that he made was one of the
finest ever seen here. The work which he
did with it is familiar to all who have
by the Camera club He twice won the
gold medal for this class of work and his
pictures have been copied in all of the
journals that are devoted to this art He
was man of kindly disposition and had
not an enemy in the world. He was al
ways willing to assist the unfortunate and
was in all respects a model citizen. He
had been member of the local lodge of
Odd Fellows for some time and his last
words were in expression of his apprecia-
ton of the kind care that the members of
the order had given him during his long
illness. His will was made in favor of
the Missoula Odd Fellows.

The Saint Louis Republic Of the

A transcript Of the record in the

Court Of Appeals yesterday. The

plaintiff on April 8, 1898, went to
the depot of the defendant COM

train for Shreveport, La. While
at the depot and after she had

There is a star in the east shining
brightly on the republican consteI-
lation, and we dubbed for it the
name of Rough Riders. This star
fell from one exalted position in the
constellation occupied by wars and
lodges 10 a position that promises
to plague Mckinley iu his 1890
movement. This particular star
made its fight from under the in
auence of the God of war, (McKin-
ley) before charges of corruption
and mismauagemeut cCu'd be
brought against it, and it is now
the star that can unite the soldier
element of the republican par y
and draw enough siren tn lr m
the outside to give Mckinley the
race of his life fer a second term,
We do not mean by this that the
Rough Riding star of which we
mention will ever find place in
the White House for lodgment, but
we mean that Roosevelt will be the
most formidable candidate the re-
publicans can put out to beat
William Mckinley.

A NEW FEED FOR MULES.

Some time ago Mr.. Whitley saw
an extract in a street car journal,
which said that there was firm in
Berlin, who were making biscuit for
street car mules-the ingredients
entering the same was sawdust,
bran, salt and molasses, the COM
pound being moulded and baked in
to suitable form for feeding, When
Mr.. Whitley saw that IS per cent
OF this new feed was composed of
sawdust. he said what a snap" it
would be to me down here where
sawdust can be had for the hauling.
The sequel is our street car man
ager sat down to his desk with a
broad grin on his face, as much as
to say 81 will feed my mules on
biscuit yet, and don't you forget
it., and he dashed off a letter to
the Berlin, Germany, man, to send
him particulars, and also a receipt
on street car mule biscuits and he
would send him an annual pass,
good until 1900 on any of his lines
either in Arkansas or Texas, or on
aRy of his contemplated Ines in
Louisiana or the Choctaw nation.
Yesterday the post brought him
the following reply:
