The Oregon Short Line has a great lot
of improvement work in progress on the

is being made doing away with some OBJ
jectionable curves in the line which. in
the past nave caused any mou Of
trouble, especially / nthe spring of the
year when the waters of the Big Hole
river get on the rampage.
All along the line between Pocatello

ing on. New bridges and culverts, built
of stone and steel are being put in dis
placing all the wooden structures. Many
new water tanks are in the course of

The Helena and Anaconda teams play
ed ball at Helena yesterday and finished
with a score of 8 to 9 in favor OF the
latter. While the result was close the
Helenas did not play good ball and had
1t not been for Wannery's good execu-
ton at the bat Inc in the field it would
have been worse.
The Anacondas put up a good game all
the way through. For four innings
Tredway pitched for the Helenas. when
he was taken out of the box. Salisbury
took his place during the remainder OF
the game and succeeded very we'll in
keeping his hits scattered, but he didn't
nave the supper back Of him to rave
the game for his team.
Armstrong made three bad errors be-
hind the bat for Helena. Flannery made
a home run in the seventh. Clarksoh

BUTTE TEAM FELL DOWN.
FALLS HAD A SNAP IN
IL TO 4 GAME.
bevllle a Quitter-Anaconda Victor,-
in an Uphill Game
at Helena.

The Buttes fell down yesterday after-
aeon IN their efforts to win the first Of
Inc series of nine games with the Great
ans team. Ihey Were beaten by a score
y. + TO ~: Wright, who pitched for the
Great Fails team, kept the homers guess
ing ana 1t was simply impossible for
them to solve the mystery of his deliv-
cry. He gaze them all kinds and man
ners OF curves and the way he twisted
the balls around was Thoroughly entoved
by tn friends of the visitors.
In five innings the Butte team was re-
ulfed With only three men at he hat
nine We're struck out seven hit safely.
Beville, pitcher for the home team was
easy 10 rthe opposition. The visitors had
not trouble apparently in determining
the course of his balls. The second in
ming was a disastrous one for the
Buttes; the opposition got in five runs
and Beville was SO Disguised he wanted
10 quit. but he vas persuaded to hold
on and he played the game out. One
thing that went against the Butte nine
was the receipt of a notice from Presi-
dent Young of the National league that
Lockhead could not participate as sec
baseman for the reason that hi had
left the Detroit club without first get
ting his proper release. Thielman tried
TO play the position burt made a poor
job OF it and Burke was put on who had
to work under the disadvantages OF an
injured leg.
Dad" Clarke. who formerly pitched
for the Butte team, umpired the game,
he being more satisfactory to the home
team than Grim and the visitors were
equally as we'll satisfied.
The Great Falls team has a splendid
outfield, while the infield is not so good.
There was considerable complaint ex-
pressed by the audience In attendance
over the profanity used by some mem
bers of the visiting team. The language
was not only distastefui ITO the ladies'
present, but thoroughly disgusting to
these who like to see a little more de-
cency exercised.
The score by innings was as follows: =

An Opera Stars Advertising
Methods,

Lillian Russelrs refusal to play an
other week with Weber and Fields In
Boston because she had a pressing
engagement in New York on Monday
has been construed by the wise ones
in Boston to mean that the "airy
fairy Lillian" is about changing her
name once more by becoming the wife
OF q prominent member Of the -four
hundred and a many-time millionaire
Miss Russell last night refused to
either deny or confirm the rumor, and
neither Mr. Weber nor Mr.. Fields, nor
Mr.. Schoeffel, the manager OF the Tre-
mont Theater, could be made to do
more than to shrug their shoulders.
The story is, however, vouched for by
several members of the company. who
say that Miss Russell's refusal to play
was the chief factor i'm Weber and
Fields cancelling the second week of
their enlargement. llii's ',3'
Miss Russell was originally Helen
Louise Leonard but began her stage
career under the name of Lillian Rus

that marriage she again became, first

ried John Augustus Chatterton, whose
stage name was Giovanni Peruginni,
and for several months was known
both as Helen Louise Chatterton and

clety Is seeking
to have its accounts overhauled. If
there Is trouble, the building is the
cause of 1t. When it was being erect
ed, some old-fashioned subscribers
thought that to use missionary
money to put up sky-seraper for
speculation-even II the income for
mission work could thereby be made
bigger-was in bad taste, to put it
mildly. e
believe the building has never been
as profitably rented as others in the
neighborhood. Early in it's history
there were one or two cases of fall
ing elevators; and, though no one
was much hurt, falling elevators in a
building 22 stories high are no joke.
Some Of the rooms are occupied for
businesses that one suspects could not
pay full rental. This has led to the
suppt ation that the building was
'papered," as theater managers by
judicious free tickets avoid the APP
pearance of an empty house. Once a
fraudulent concern got in and under

Almost Frozen To Death.

Agent Freeman, of the Armor G Co.
of Fifth and Greene streets, and Ed
Starkey had rather an exciting exper-
fence early this morning, says the
Parkersburg Sentinel. Mr.. Freeman
had several orders for frozen beef to
send out on the early trains, and he
and Starkey went to one of the refrig-
orator cars to prepare the meat for
shipment. They entered the refriger-
ator car at o'clock, but just as they
got inside the door slammed shut, the
lever in the outside falling in place,
making them prisoners good and
strong without light or air, and in a
freezing temperature. The men called
for assistance, but could not make
themselves heard. They thumped and
kicked on the sides of the car, yelled
and whooped, but it was no use. They
soon became chilled to the marrow
and hustled around pretty lively to
keep from freezing to death.
About $3.50 Chris Arendt, who had
business at the cold storage plant, en-
tered the office and heard the muffied
calls of someone and started out to in
vestigate. He ascertained that the
souned emanated from the car, and
suspecting something wrong, raised
the lever and opened the door. Free
man, who was frozen stiff, fell into
Arendt's arms, who laid him out in the
sun where he soon thawed out. Stark
ey's breath had frozen solid to his
whiskers and he had to be rescued
from his perilous position.
