day with President w. H. Lucas Of the
Montana Baseball league. Mr.. Ware has

the Montana baseball men will play a Sc
ries of games in Spokane on Oct. q, 20
and 30.
w W a semi-professional baseball
team in Spokane that has skinned ev-
erything this season. said Mr.. Ware to-
day. "They played 80 games this sum-
mer and lost four. We brought Stanford
out at g cost of $1,000 and made money
on the game.
I'VE want to get some good games
this fall and I came here for the purpose
of figuring with the Montana men for a
series of games. On Sept. 81, 20 and 80,
the returning Cal%ifornians who have been
playing with the Montana league will
cross bats with the Spokane men. They
have not vet decided whether they will
call themselves the All California or the
All Butte team.
ION the 4th, 9Th and 7th Of October we
hope to play the Great Falls baseball
team, the members of which have been
contemplating a trip to the u coun-
try. 1 have practically completed all the
arrangements to-day with President Lu-
cas- and Manager McCloskey OF the Great

game between the university teams at
Missoula. Montana. and Moscow. Idaho.
The Washington university and MOSCOW
teams will meet on our gridiron this fall.
We nave the fines grounds in the coun-
try and we hope to have the Montanas
with us this season. The Butte football
team Is not in existence now. but there
is good material to choose from mere

future we may arrange for a game"
Mr.. Ware will return to Spokane this
evening.

moned for duty in the case of the state

band, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Littlejohn.

m. Thursday.
Up to the present time "a per~ons have
been examined as to their qualifications
to serve. Only fou were secured from
the last batch of CT specials, but as the
state has one ~peremptory challenge left
and the defense four, it is possible that
some of the four may be allowed to go
their way rejoicing before the requisite
twelve are decided upon.
The state is being represented by c.
P. Connolly and c. F.. Kelly, county at
torney and his chief deputy respectively
while the interests of the prisoner are
being looked after by Attorney b. S.

The women do the business of
the Philippines. They are, in fact,
the working and the money making
part ofthe population. They have,
if any thing, more brains than the
men and they are far the better fin

rich or poor, it is his wife who car
ries the pocket-book and keeps the
accounts. She does the buying for
the family, and if the two have d
store she does the selling. After
marriage the women property Is
kept separate and apart from that

control of it. If she loans it to him
