AN ADJOURNED SESSION.
Considerable Routine Business Was Tran

Considerable Routine Business Was Tran
sacted by the Council.
Missoula, July 1S.-The city council
met tonight in adjourned session and
despite the hot weather transacted a lot
of tiresome detail business. The com
mittee on contracts and estimates made
several reports. The first report rec
mended that the contract for building
sidewalks be awarded to David Ora
ham; the second report recommended
that the contract for furnishing side
walk lumber be awarded to John Ran
kin; the third report advised the pur-
chase of fire hose from the Western
Rubber company, the brand selected
being the Bay State hose, at so cents
per foot. All of those reports were
adopted and the contracts were ordered
awarded to the firms recommended
Written contracts will be drawn and
bonds in each instance were fixed at
double the amount of the contracts.
Graham's sidewalk bid is 3715 cents
per foot for sidewalk Rankin's bid for
lumber is $13 per thousand; the bid for
the Western Rubber company is 80
cents per foot, and a guarantee with
bond goes with the contract. The COM
mite on streets and alleys presented a
report which embodied the specfica-
tions of Engineer Hughes for the i'm
provement on Higgins avenue. The re-
port, after discussion and some
changes, was adopted. The ordinance
for the levy of street tax was read
and passed, and the amendment to the
powder ordinance asked for at last
meeting was introduced and passed
without discussion. There was consid-
cradle discussion of the matter of the
renewal of the electric light contract,
and numerous other measures that will
keep the aldermen thinking until the
next meeting.

Missoula. July 1S.-The night shift has
seemed much like old times lately.
There has been plensy of excitement
for those who are obliged to remain up
all night and it has not been difficult
to keep awake. Following the Dixon
shooting affair there came several i'm
promptu scraps, including one which
took place on the ragged edge of the
bad lands, in which two women We're
the principals. There have been scraps
for everybody. even the policemen, who
have at times had their hands full in
getting order out of chaos. 1t is hoped
that the change of the moon will ac-
ccmpliSh something in the way Of a
change in the nocturnal programme,
as the excitement in this warm weather
is liable TO affect the policemen, to say
nothing of others who do not wear a
star

Availability and Dowdiness.

Philadelphia Inquirer: | lately heard
an amusing story of lady who, hay-
ing rendered some small help to a
friend, was described with enthusiasm
by that friend as being most kind and
unselfish and devoted to the service of
others. A girl who heard this imme-
diately drew a mental picture of thin,
pale, subdued-looking creature in
clinging. nun-like black dress with
bands of smooth, fiat hair parted in
the middle, and on being introduced
few days later to a cheerful person in
a fashionablym gown and with
vigorously curly hair, she was so TAX
en- aback as to be scarcely able to
speak. Why should kindly DISPOSE
ton be associated so often, as 1t seems
to be, with the suppression of all that
is pleasing in outward appearance?
The idea must surely be that the every,
very good cannot take time or
thought for their toilet, and people do
not pause to consider that popularity
of dress often involves far more care
than to follow fashions in moderation,
and be as others are.

The prIncess Made pickles

The Pittsburg Dispatch is respon-
sible for the statement that among
the Princess of Wales experiments
during the earlier portion of her life.
she concocted most charming pickle
of which she used to send bottles to
her intimate friends. Here is the recipe
for it: Take a very small number OF
small cucumbers, wash and wipe them
dry, and put them into jar with an
eggcupful Of salt, and about a pint OF
cold vinegar; they should then stand
for seven or eight days, when the vine
gar should be poured away, and fresh
mixture of quart Of vinegar, with
half a pint ? sugar and mixed spices
must be made. The cucumbers should
then be scalded in boiling water, and
afterward the hot vinegar and spice
should be poured over them. They
should then be allowed to cool, and
afterward covered up in the usual
way"

Amazes Hotel Guests by Attempting to

The other night about the time the

letic, smooth-faced and altogether pre-
possessing young man of 30 or there
abOuts walked into one of the leading
hotels and inscribed his name on the
register, adding that OF a southern city
as his place of residence. He remarked
that he was thoroughly fatigued by his
journey, and repaired at once to his
room. About two hours later the good
looking stranger walked out to the
pavement where several other guests
were seated near the curb enjoying the
cool night air. Pausing by an empty
chair he proceeded with great delibera-
ton to remove his collar and cravat
Then he drew off his coat, folded it
neatly and deposited it on the seat,
following suit with his vest. BY that
time the attention of everybody on the
sidewalk was excited The stranger
was perfectly cool and self-possessed,
and except for certain indefinable ex-
preston of his eyes there was nothing
unusual in his appearance. Paying no
attention whatever to the stares from
all quarters he unbuckled his sus-
renders and began to loosen the collar
buttons of his shirt. 1t was evident
that he was about to remove the gar

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
The most ignoble of all occupations in
Washington is that of the man who
stands at the side of a chief of bureau
and blots his signature. Every bu-
reau chief has human blotter. Cor
bin sits all day and signs his name,
and signs his name, and signs his
name, and barks at people who arrest
him temporarily in the occupation
and at his side stands man who blota
his signature, and blots his signature,
and blots his signature. The mon
otony OF the thing would drive an or
binary man frantic. If they would
only employ boys TO 90 the plotting:
1t is such CALLING thing to see a man
who could toss a barrel of flour on his
shoulder patiently doing the blotting.
