BUILDING ACCEPTED.
Public School Building taken of
the Contractors Hands.


Sch DOL Board is satisfied with the Com
pletion Of the Job Money all Paid
over Except Reserve Fund In Case
of Claims against the Bnilders-A
Splendid Ediilce School will be held
In 1t after April first,
The Public School building which
has been in course of construction
for a long time has finally been fin
ished and has been accepted by the
school board. The contractors,
Schallenberger and Former, of Pitts
burg, have received their money for
the work done and the building now
belongs to the school district.
The total cost of the building is
very great surprise to everyone who
sees it. Outside of the heaters it
cost less than forty thousand dollars.
Everyone who guesses at the cost
thinks that sixty thousand would
not be too high. The town is in re-
ceipt of numerous compliments on
the splendid building it has for the
accommodation of the children.
School men who have been all
over the state and have seen all the
school buildings of the state say
that it is the finest that they have
seen. This is praise of very high
order and makes everyone who has
had any connection with the build
ing feel proud Of his share in getting
| it
There was fifteen hundred dollars
held back from the contractors in
order to insure against any claims
that might be outstanding against
them and come in as liens on the
building. This was consented to by
them although Mr.. Scheiienberger
took an oath that they had paid all
claims against them as far as they
knew.
The bill for extras was thirty sew
en- hundred dollars and some of
these items are very strange ones
However this bill was trimmed down
to twenty four hundred and some
counter claims were filed by the
board. The final settlement was
satisfactory to all concerned.
The seats are beginning to ar
rive and they will be put in at once.
The heaters have been turned on and
in couple Of weeks the building
will be dry enough to occupy and as
soon as the seats go in the schools
can be collected there instead Of re-
maing all over town as at present
This is expected to be done about.
the first OF April and the rest Of the
school year will be under their own
roof. The children will have every
convenience in the new building and
the teachers will also be looked after
as they should be. In fact everything
about it is just right and all who
have had any part in the direction
of affairs in it's completion have a
claim to the gratitude of the town
for what they have done.
The contractors, Schallenbergcr
and Former, have proven themselves
to be gentlemen in every sense Of
the word and few men who have ev-
er come here to do similar work have
gone away with the sincere esteem
in which they are held by all who
hay re come in contact with them.
We are sorry to see them leave us
and hope that the acquaintance may
at some future time be renewed

ed. The men in the parade are re-
quested not to begin firing the candles
until they pass the ARCH for fear of
a eonflagration.
The night parade will start at 7:15
and the fireworks will start at the race
track at 5 o'clock-gates open at 7:15.
All the scenery and paraphernalia is
in position at the track and the spec
tacle will doubtless be the finest thing
of the kind ever seen in the north
west. The combined bands of 32%
pieces will furnish the music during
the Burning of Manila" Reserved
seats are on sale at Heilbronner's and
at Newbro's. The line of march for
the night parade will be down Main
street to Park, west on Park to Acad-
emy, north on Academy to Broad
way, east on Broadway to Arizona
and south on Arizona to South Butte
and the race track.
The trains with the soldiers will
make no stop until the race track is
reached. The trains are scheduled to
arrive at $50, and it is believed they
Will be here by 10 o'clock. The street
cars run within 100 yards of the point
OF decentralization. All the reception
committee should be on hand and be
provided with red badges
Unless there is some bad change in
the weather the parade will be car
ried out as arranged. The c-ocession
will take the street car tracks from the
race track up, take the sidewalk up
Arizona street until the paved portion
of the city is reached. and will then
march in the middle of the street, as
the paved street are comparatively
free from mud.
Rooms can be had at 522 West Park

A BRILLIANT SUCCESS
Arch Completed and It Is a.

STATUE IS IN ITS PLACE
Looks Very Imposing From It's Lofty
Perch-Putting the Final Touch to
the Arrangements to We'll

The arch is completed and it is a tri-
umph 1t was Illuminated for a little
while last evening, and with its thou
sand electric lights it presented a most
brilliant appearance. The statue was
raised yesterday morning with com
plete success 1t had been feared that
the statue could not be successfully
raised, and at one time the plan Of
raising it at all was abandoned With
the right men, however, and the proper
machinery the raising of the big image
was accomplished with ease before 8
o'clock yesterday morning. The statue
looks very imposing from its lofty perch
and reflects great credit on the artist,
E. S. Paxson. The triumphal arch, with
the figure of Peace, are certainly fea-
lures that will long live in the mema
ory Of the soldiers and Of all visitors
to Butte.
There was a sprinkling of uniforms
in the big crowds that thronged Butte's
streets yesterday. Many soldiers who
returned ahead of the regiment donned
their uniforms yesterday and many
rough riders arrived in town to be
ready to participate in the celebration
to-day. Eighteen members of Troop
I of Miles City arrived yesterday, and
altogether 25 people from Miles City
came in yesterday. Captain Brown
was accompanied by his wife. The
only Miles City resident in the regiment
is DR.. T. c. Bruning.
Sixty-tWo people came over from
Pony yesterday and about SO from
Norris.
The guns of the. Helena light artil-
lery arrived yesterday and were un-
loaded, The so members of the company
came lin last evening in their special
car, where they will sleep during their
stay in the city. Their guns will be
all ready for the firing of the salute
this morning.
The High school cadets will meet at
the High school building at o'clock

the proceeds from the lunch tables will
bring the total up to $4,000, the figure
which the committee started out to

shine, but sheltered from winds, is re-
quired for the best results, besides
tub properly prepared. The best tubs
for the purpose when number Of
plants are to be grown are half-barrels
Of oak. If but two or three plants are
to be grown, an oak tub such as Is
used for butter and lard will answer.
The tub should be filed two-thirds
full of heavy sod, with the soil at
tached well broken up and mixed with
half-rotten stable manure free from
straw. Pack this down firmly and
cover it with two inches of sand. Place
the plants so that their crowns will
be just under the surface of the soil.
Fill the tubs with water and keep
them full to within an inch of the top
all the time.
While many of the tender aquatics
can be successfully grown in tubs, the
ha, varieties here named are recon-
mended to the beginner. Probably not
once in a hundred times would failure
result if the tubs were prepared as
directed by planting the well-known
pond lily or the Cape Cod water lily.
n. Chromatella is good variety for
the novice to grow, and is in striking
contrast to the others in foliage and
blossoms. The young leaves are mot
tied with brown, and the large yellow
flowers of delicious fragrance are pro-
-duced in great abundance from early
spring until frost If taller plants are
desired, the sacred lotus is easily
grown in tubs by itself. The foliage
is broad and attractive, and the frag-
rant blossom in bud is of beautiful
shade of pink when fully open.
Even on small grounds space may be
found for few small fruit plants
that will supply the home table with
all the fruit desired. For home use
the selection of varieties, next to hard
mess and vigor, should be guided by
quality. The best varieties among
small fruits are usually those that will
not stand long-distance shipping.
Among strawberries care should be
used to select varieties with perfect
blossoms unless two or more varieties
are chosen, so that any of the lmper-
feet flower sorts those containing PTS
ills only will be fortified by pollen
from the blossoms of the others. For
the best success with strawberries in
the garden the soil should be we'll en-
riched to a considerable depth and we'll
spaded. Set the plants about foot
or fifteen inches apart, with path
every third row. The ground must be
kept free from weeds.-Chicago

Poisonous Wall Paper.

The announcement of DR.. e. M.
t;hamot of the chemical department of
Cornell University, that nearly all wall
paper sold at the present time contains
arsenical poisons, some of hem in
large quantities, casts a shadow over
the spirits of the housekeeper who has
just had her rooms repapered. What
renders the blow still more severe is
the assertion that there is no basis for
the popular belief that green paper
contains the most arsenic. DR.. Cha
mot's Investigations were prompted as
a result of the several cases of arseDi-
cal poisoning which were said to have
been caused by contact with paper
covered walls, the most severe one be
ing traced to red wall paper.

Sugar as Food.

A lump of sugar represents about as
much nutriment as an ounce of potato,
but while the potato will be eaten only
because hunger prompts, the sugar,
because of it's taste, may be taken
when the appetite has been fully sat
isfied.
Sugar is a useful and valuable food.
1t must, however, be remembered that
it is concentrated food, and there
fore should be eaten in moderate guam
titles. Further, like other concentrated
foods, sugar seems best fitted for as
similiation by the body when supplied
with other materials which dilute ii or
give it the necessary bulk.

Many can it unsweetened, but it is far
safer to use the sugar. This makes
excellent winter pies, and is keenly rel

when the apples begin to grow flavor

a wooden or silver knife and spoon

How Deep to Plant Potatoes.

Except for the very earliest plant
ing it is better on rich, dry soil to
cover potato seed at least four inches
deep. Then there will be no tempta-
ton to throw the earth around the po-
tato as it grows, making hill through
which the tubers will grow outside
the soil, and be made worthless Tor
cooking by exposure to the sun. A
potato that has been ''greened' prop
erly makes the best seed, but in some
of the potatoes that are greened IN
fall the eyes appear to be destroyed,
so that the potato is not even good for
seed.
