one of the properties was pig that

everything on the stage and then
started t, broaden his view. The seen

was left open and before any one
could see what the pig was doing he
had leaned far out of the window. The

WON'T BUILD THIS YEAR.
Addition 10 Hotel Belgrade Will Be Postponed
for Season.

1t L. probable that the addition to the
Hotel Belgrade will not be made. this
year. as was talked, a short time ago
BY this it is not meant that the work
will not he done al all. but rather that
il viii be made at the END If next sea
son.
The hotel has far exceeded the eX
pectatiuns OF those who invested their
money in the company. When the
work Of building was commenced il
was designed for fishing parties II
was thought that ii would be used only
by them and for that reason accom-
modations we're furnished fer sports
men only. Before the season was adj
vanced the hotel began To fill up with
families and became a summer resort
whose fame began from the day the
season fairly opened. Seeing that they
were to have the best people with their
families the prUp1ietors then had plans
made far an addition which should
contain larger rooms for the accom-
moda ton of these people. This addition
will be nearly as large as the hotel it,
self.
Should the work of making the ad-
dit.on be commenced now it would be
necessary to rush the work. This the
company does not propose t. do. but
instead will take time to have the
work done in a thorough manner
Therefore the foundation will probably
be laid, next season and as soon as
the season closes. next year, work will
be commenced on the addition In this
way 4 substantial structure. finished
in the best possible manner, will be
erected and ready for occupancy at the
beginning OF the following season.
In one way the hotel has been dis
appointment to the company. The di-
rectors knew before they began that
they had good thing. but supposed
that il would take several years to
build up reputation and consequent
good business. Instead. the fame of
the place began with the present. the
first season. and even now when the
hotel is just closed at the end of the
first season. the hotel has such repu
tation that rooms are already engaged
for the next season. and full house is
assured from the time the opening
takes place until ii closes again at the
end Of the season.

II is believed that the weather Is
largely responsible for no more deer
having been shot in the big woods. Up
TO the past week everything was as
drv as finder and it was impossible to
make a move in the woods without
giving the deer the alarm that some
thing was coming. During the past
week it has been so wet that 1t was
impossible to hunt with any degree of
comfort Then, again. the fever for
hunting big game and taking all that
the laws allow is wearing off with the
old hunters and they take just what
they need. SO that not as many are
shipped out of the State. Everyone is
waiting for the first snow to fall and
il is believed that by that time the
game records will be fully up to that
of last year. if not ahead. lhere is
every indication that there are more

About half a million trout and
salmon fry will be distributed through
the State this fall through the efforts
of the fish and game commissioners.
The work has now been going on for
some time as the weather is now cold
enough for the work to be done to the
best advantage. Just where the fry
will be placed cannot be said as the
applications are coming in all the time
and the work cannot be outlined until
all the applications are in.
The rise in water has worked to ad-
vantage in the Monmouth hatcheries
as the fish are beginning to come into
the weirs where they are taken That
the spawn may be obtained. Nothing
definite has been heard from the
hatcheries at Lake Auburn. but there
is every reason to suppose that the
recent weather conditions will have
the same effect there it has at Non
mouth.

MORMON WIVES.
In Many Instances the Husband Was
Devoted to the One who
Gould Cook best.

A Philadelphia woman who lived in
Salt Lake City for a number of years
under the old order of things relates
some customs there which are intensely
interesting, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. She says:
1.-THE Mormon law required a man to
provide house, wood and flour for each
five wives lodged in the Beehive. Brig
ham Young himself violated the sepa-
rate house obligation, as he had 25 wives
lodged in the Beehive and rs in
the Lion house, low buildings with
inclosing walls and gateways, sur
mounted by figures of lion and bee
hive.
How peaceful and harmonious the
Lion house was may be inferred from
the fact that one Of Brigham Youngs
sons on one occasion seized knife and
tried to carve up the cook, and the
whole IS wives held this, their son,
blameless. The story ran that, adiudi-
eating the case, Brigham emulated the
wisdom of Solomon and desired the par
ties to the conflict TO assume the orig
inal positions they held during the fray,
but the cook declined to take the extra
risk
Each Mormon man was expected to
have four wives, so he built row of
four little houses on an acre lot. Each
wife had front and back door and two
windows, and quarter acre ground
TO cultivate. The husband was sup
posed to spend week with each wife,
but usually he gave the most of his
time to the one that was the best cook
Some of the wives craved their hus-
bands society, but others, who found it
very expensive to board him, preferred
that he should lavish the greater part
of his society on the other members of
his family"

VORTEX IN THE AIR.
The Cause of Dust WhirIs and Show
ers of Queer Things Which De-
scend from the Sky.

Vortex motion i'm the atmosphere,
though seldom obtrusively patent in
England, must certainly be reckoned
with, and all ascending currents, from
whatsoever cause, appear of this ma
ture. Dust whirls in spring and twist
ing columns of dry leaves or hay in
summer and autumn are evidences of
the existence of such upward currents.
But the aeronaut can detect them on "a
larger scale, and penetrating sometimes
far aloft. This, says the National Re
view, is only what might be expected
from statistics relating TO such phe-
nomena where they occur in greater
earnest in other parts of the globe.
1t is classical history how dust
showers have arisen on the west coast
of Africa and descended again on YES
sels far out on the Atlantic; how Scot
land has been visited by n storm of
pumice debris which was supposed TO
have had its origin in Vesuvius; how
showers of fish or of frogs have de-
scended from the sky, having been
swept into lofty regions entangled in
the bosom of whirlwind sufficient to
bear them whittier it listed. The dust

AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
Ladies' of tho Yeomanry Hospital for SoIr
diors In Africa Ask contributions from
Brltishera In America.

London, Feb. 14.-As the conviction
grows in Great Britain that the war
will be long the efforts for providing
for the sick and wounded and the fam
lilies of the soldiers at the front are re-
doubling. There is scarcely a woman
in England who, in addition to MAX
ing articles of clothing for those in
the field and in the hospitals, is not
working for and contributing to some
social fund. Mrs. Arthur Paget's en-
tertainment last night brought in
over G 5000 for the families of the
household troops, in which her hus-
band is colonel of the Scots guards;
the Mansion house fund exceeds
C 100000, the Daily Telegraph's fund
amounts to G119,000 and the Daily
Mails totals e77,OOO. These amounts
cover only the larger London funds
and do not include numerous provin-
cial funds of large amounts being
raised to equip volunteers The equip
ment for the yeomaNry has jUst left
England for the Cape. The ladies at
the head OF this charity have now de-
cided to raise funds to keep the hos
pital going for six months and have
issued an appeal to the British resi-
dents of the United States.

PROFITABLE TRAVEL.
Go About with an Open, Receptive
Mind, and Don't Form Wrong
Conclusions.

The American is wise, writes Edward
Box, in the Ladies Home journal, who
going to Paris this year spends enough
time in the French capital to see the
exposition, and the beauties and spots
of fragrant memories which the city
unquestionably possesses, but who
then leaves Paris behind and goes into
those quaint, romantic and gone-to-
sleep old places with which France
abounds-in the Balzac country, for eX-
ample, where French life is stiA lived
in the old delightful way, This is the
secret of profitable travel anywhere;
to go about with the mind open and re-
ceptive; TO judge people from the condi-
lions which surround them; to get an
impression of a nation not from the life
which floats on the surface of its great
centers, but from its own people living
in the heart of their own lands, in their
own homes and in their own way. Thus
we will see the real people of the coun-
try wherein we travel. But we cannot
truly Judge the English from what we
see in London, or the French from
the boulevards and cafes of Paris, any
more than foreigner can judge the en-
tire population of America merely from
people he sees in the city of New York.

Investigation of senator Ciark'a Election.

mittee on elections and privileges in
its investigation of the election of
Senator Clark, of Montana, yester-
day. They were d. r. Reeler, a
banker of Kalispell, whose evidence
related to the bank account of Sena-
tor Geiger; w. II. Cochran, of Butte,
who was called by the defense, but
who, before he concluded, was stigma
tiled by them as a witness for the
prosecution; State Senator C. w.
Hoffman and Mr.. John S. M. Neill,
proprietor of the Helena Independent.
Mr.. Neill had not concluded when the
committee adjourned for the day. He
denied categorically all the allega-
tions of Whiteside, involving his name
and the latter's assertions concerning
the use of corrupt means to secure
Clarks election.

AS a result of a collision between the
British steamer Bermuda and the two
masted schooner Frank S. Hall last
Monday morning, Captain Robert G.

attachment proceedings against the

steamer was uninjured, but the steam

of the Hall was saved, and arrived at
