DEDICATED TO ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Bozeman Man Writes a Book-Travesty
on Ancient Prose.

John A. Henshall of Bozeman is the
author of a book entitled eye Gods
and Little Fishes, . recently put out
by IL New York publishing house. The
volume is a travesty upon the Quest
of the Golden Fleece, and is dedicated
to Admiral Dewey, with whom Mr..
Henshall took u cruise along the coast
of Greece.
In the %dedicatory notice the author
says: "To Admiral Dewey, in re-
membrance Of the pleasant days spent
in his company on the sunny shores
Of Greece, this travesty on the first
great naval expedition is respectfully
inscribed by the autnor."
The book is printed in 12-point old
style English Jensen and is written
in a delightfully."- refreshing vein. The
ancient prose is brought right up to
date with a little pardonable slang,
and nineteenth century expression.

A H E CHECKED.
Kitchener Keeps Out Further Invaders Of
Cape Colony.

London, Dec. 27-The latest dis
patch from South Africa shows that
Lord Kitchener has succeeded in hold
ing the invading Beers in check, but
he had not been successful in expelling
them from Cape Colony, where small
commanders continue to display as
tonishingly daring activity over a
wide field.
It is questionable whether his proc
lamation will have much effect until
General De Wet has been captured.
The Beers are likely to regard it as a
sign of weakness and to have whole
some dread Of De Vets vengeance if
they surrender.
The proclamation is approved by
the party at home, which favors con-
ciliatory terms to the Beers as a step
towards peace.
Queen Victoria, it is said, has APP
proved the proposition to institute a
new order of knighthood to reward the
officers who served in South Africa
The order will probably be called the
Star of Africa.

EYE REMOVED.
Operation Performed Upon Harry Man
Yesterday Forenoon.

An operation to remove the left eye
Of Harry Mann, the eldest son Of Mr..
and Mrs. F. L. Mann, was performed
yesterday forenoon by Doctors ]. FL.
Rinehart and Carl Schulin in a sue
cessful manner, md the young patient
is now getting along nicely and there
is little probability that the other eye
was injured at all bv the defective
optic.
Harry was shot in the eye several
months ago by a buckshot from an
airgun in the hands of a playmate.
For a time afterwards it was thought
the eye would eventually be all right,
but it wasn't long until he was totally
blind in that eye with no hopes Of re-
covering his sight. An examination
about 10 days ago resulted in an
operation being decided upon so as to
prevent the other eye from becoming
diseased.

Years Ago Located at Seattle.

Mrs. Andrew Campbell of Bridger
was in the city yesterday en- route to
the Pacific coast to join her husband,
whom she has just learned is located
at Seattle, Wash.
1t will be remembered by many
Billings people that Andrew Camp
bell, who was a justice !ef the peace
and insurance agent in this city, dis
appeared very mysteriously from his
home in Billings six or seven years
ago and neither his family nor friends
knew of his whereabouts until a few
days ago, when his wife, who has been
residing with her daughter, Mrs. Z. p.
Mcdonald of Bridger, received a LETT
ter from him in which he stated that
he was stopping with their son in
Seattle and explaining his sudden dis
appearance.
He said that he had gone to Big
Timber from Billings to try a lawsuit,
and having previously intended going
to the coast and knowing his plans
would be frustrated by his family, he
decided to go on to the coast. He To-
Gated at Everett, WASH, where he re-
manned for several years. Mr.. Camp
bell is enjoying splendid health, and
Mrs. Campbell believes that he can be
persuaded to return to Montana but
not before next spring.

SOME SMALLPOX.
-Four Cases Now in the Pest
House.

..-s..F. l.tE- LOUISE. nG ..E, - UE&fl.H&A
Nearly every town of any import
ance in the state has had to contend
with the prevalence of smallpox again
this winter and Billings is among the
number, but tine cases have been of
the usual mild form with little cause
of uneasiness on the part of the citi-
zens, owing to the fact that the city is
better able to cope with the disease by
reason Of its experience last year, and
that the patients have not exposed
other people to the disease.
There are now four cases at the pest
house, but each one was taken in hand
at an early time. The first patient
was a roman, who, it is thought,
contracts1 the disease at Kansas City.
She cams4 here from Junction, where
she was visiting relatives. Another
case came from Carbon county, while
the other two came from the railroad
grading camp of Gibson on the To-
luca-C Cody branch. 1t seems that the
whole camp has been exposed and the
county commissioners have quaran-
tined it and also drove out there yes
terday t51Uok into the matter.

THE EAST BILLINGS BRIDGE.
Northern Pacific Offers to Sell Its Bridge
at Townsend.

Mayor Yegen has received word
from the Northern Pacific Railroad
company that il will sell it's old
bridge, which has been replaced by q
new n at Townsend, Mont, and
which has been figured on for a wagon
bridge across the Yellowstone river
just east of Billings. The railroad
company asks two and one-half cents
a pound for the iron work and will
donate the lumber which was used in
the bridge.
Arrangements are now being made
to try and have the contractor, Vim.
S. Hewitt of Minneapolis, buy this
bridge from the railroad company,
which would permit of the erection of
the bridge for the contract price Of
$500, and at the same time do the
extra work, which the citizens were to
provide for by private subscriptions.

JUST LIKE FALL,

Mike Flanagan, one Of the valley
farmers, living two miles west of Bill
ings, reports that on Wednesday he
finished sowing Is acres in, wheat.
This will probably sound rather
strange to the eastern farmer, but it
only goes to show that Montana is
equal to most any climatic condition.
The weather which has been prevail
ing here SO far this winter, with the
exception Of one cold wave in Novem-
Der. can not be equalled anywhere.

Interest in the matter OF a public
building for Grand Junction has been
revived by letters received by Postmas-
ter Edwin Price from Hon. John G.
Boil.
When congress adjourned at it's last
session no final action had been taken
by the committee into whose hands the
bill had been referred after it's introduce
tion in the senate by Senator Wolcott
and in the house by Representative Bell.
Now Mr.. Bell comes forward and says
that the committee on public buildings
and lands have asked for additional in
formation regarding certain statistic i
matters aud there is hope that the bill
may be passed by the present congress-.
Edwin Price answered all queries
asked by Mr.. Bell, and besides has writ
ten many letters to Senator Wolcott and
Mr.. Bell. These representatives from
Colorado are thoroughly interested in
the matter and are working hard to have
favorable report from the committee
and to have the bill secure final passage
at this session of congress.
Upon tho grounds that the capacity
of the present postoffice building is not
sufficient, is a line upon which Mr..
Price is working. There is not vacant
box in all the postofflce at the present
time and the need is for q much larger

A vast amount of good was done last

CURRIGAN PASSES AWAY.
The End Came PeacefuIIy---Fam-
lily and Relatives at Bedside
Public Expressions of Sorrow

Denver, Dec. 27-Alderman Martin
Dennis Currigan died at eight o'clock
last night, the septicaemia from which
he had suffered since last Friday having
baffied the skill OF medical practitioners
and the services of the most modern an
tidotes
The end came peacefully. MIR. Curri-
gan was unconscious after $3.50 o'clock.
Between that hour and noon his condi-
ton, which was encouraging during the
morning hours, changed rapidly for the
worse. The physicians were summoned,
and they perceiving that nothing further
could be done for the sufferer, made the
sad announcement to the family that he
was dying.
Mrs. Currigan was overcome with
grief, and other relatives also felt the not
altogether unexpected blow 80 severely
that they were unconsolable by tho many
kind words Of sympathy friends and ac-
quaintances offered. Miss Mary Curri
gan. niece, and Mise Maggie Noonan, a
friend Of the family, were at the bedside
when Mr.. Currigan breathed his last.
Fathers Brown and Schimpf, of the
Jesuit college, administered the last sac
rament Of the Roman Catholic church, of
which deceased had been a lifelong
member.
Pending preparations for these relig
ious rites, and in full consciousness OF
their meaning, Mr.. Currigan referred re-
gretfully to the fact that he must leave
his life's work and aims unfinished, and
he expressed the wish that he could live
for his family. He felt that he could not
leave his children and wife. but the grad
ual failing of strength that ensued with
the advance OF the subtle poison into the
vital organs relieved him Of mental dis
tress.
In less than one short week his appar-
emily robust physical fraue had been re-
duced from picture Of health to weak
ness beyond recovery. And the riginal
cause was SO slight, his death seemed in
comprehensive.
Life for him had many attractions
He had high ideals. His phlegmatic
temperament and jovial disposition re-
duced ordinary cares and disappoint-
ments to such small degree that they
passed away without ruff1ing hie dispo-
sition. His enemies were few and his
friends many. Having lived for thirty
two years in the city, always active as a
builder, a constructionist and politician
he was personally known to more than
one-half the population.
