day and Friday mornings of this week
we shall have a very fine star shower.
1t is hoped that many of our citizens
will take the opportunity to keep a
lookout for these meteors. The scene
will be a great one. Nothing could
exceed the grandeur of these celestial
fireworks when seer at their best.
The moon will have waned SO far by
that time that its light will not inter
fere perceptibly with observation Of
ven the smallest meteors. These
meteors appear in the latter part Of
the night. There is seldom any dis

ONE YEAR.
Meteoric Shower Scheduled for Last Year
Is Due Today.

The meteoric shower which was
billed for last November and which
failed to put in III appearance has been
scheduled for this month. The heaven
ly show, according to the astronomers,
will be seen in Montana Thursday and
Friday mornings, if on time.
Professor N. r. Leonard, president
of the Montana school of mines, at
Butte, in speaking Of the promised
shower, said:
1.-THE great November meteoric
shower which has been billed from
year to year since about 1896, thus
far has been very disappointing. Many
thousand observers all over the world
had devoted the evenings of Novem-
Der Is and 16 for the past three years
to a diligent scrutiny of the heavens
in the hopes of seeing this great celes-
tial display.
"There was almost no return for
their watchfulness last year. 1t
seemed as if this shower, that has al
ready a history of more than a thou
sand years, had retired from business.
As a result of this disappointment,
which was very keenly felt by the
astronomers of both hemispheres, Pro-
lessor Berberich, of Berlin, began a
careful investigation of the pertu1ba-
tions that had been encountered by
this stream since its last return in
1867.
"As a result of this, he found that
since that return, part of the stream
that the earth should have passed
through in 1897, 1898 and 1899 had
passed near the planet Jupiter, and as
a result it's path had been SO far
changed that the part that we should
have passed through in 1897 crossed
our orbit 1900, 900 miles outside of
the earth's path, and that the part we
should have passed through in 1898
was 500, 600 miles inside of the earth's
path.
Temples comet, which is a part of
this meteOric stream, crossed the
orbit on January 30, 1900, or
about 10 months ago. It's point of
crossing was 600, 600 miles inside of
the earth's path,

prnhably richer in meteoric matter
than other parts of the stream. 1t
will be seen that had we crossed at
that place we should probably have
witnessed the grandest meteOrio dis
play OF the ages, exceeding that OF
l68B.
"That part of the stream we shall
pass through on November 10 and 10
Of this year has probably not exper-
the perturbation OF those parts

THEIR AFFAIRS ARE MIXED
TWO CONCERNS INTERESTED IN A
RECENT BUSINESS FAILURE.
Snapped Paper and Assisted Each
Other-One Goes Into Hands
of Receiver.

New York, Nov. 14-The appoint
ment of a receiver for the firm Of w
l.. Strong & Co. yesterday, has beer
discussed with great interest in mer
camille circles here today, in view O.
the report that the firms affairs are il
a much worse condition than those
who knew the late ex-Mayor Strong
suspected. The Commercial Adver
tiser today prints the following:
A bank president who has had bust
ness with the firm is quoted as saying
today that it had been we'll known OF
the street that the ex-mayor was not
by any means SO rich as was generally
supposed. she was not a millionaire
and he was not very wealthy. Lately
he and Stott had been protesting Their
notes in sizes, all the way from $25,
600 to 800, 600 SO that leading banks
became cautious and then many of us
refused to discount their stock. The
two dead members of the firm had
been doing what we call Swapping
paper Strong endorsed Stott's notes
and Stott endorsed Strong's. It was
accommodation paper and served to
show that the firm was in growing
difficulties"
The cause of the Strong failure was
made public today by Butler, hoffman,
Joline & Minders, counsel for the firm
in the action for a receivership which
resulted in the appointment Of Edward
A. Treat. The firm said that the
Strong firm had Endorsed more than
$500, 900 in notes for the Stott Wooden
mills, for which the firm was agent
and that the circumstances Of the sud-
den death of former Mayor Strong and
of +. H. Stott, heads of the two con-
Germs, within three days of each other,
had brought about a crisis by dissolv-
ing both firms at a moment when
large sums were due. The Stott mills
are located in Stottville, N. Y. One
note Endorsed for the Stott company
for 500, 600 is due tomorrow. Other
notes for nearly half a million are due
0 The Stott company in which
the Strong company is largely inter-
ested, the counsel said today, had in
dorsed notes of the Strong company in
return but for an insignificant amount,
probably less than 500, 900 in all.
eff either Strong OF Stott had lived
the difficulty might have been settled
without public embarrassment" said
a representative of the counsel. "We
cannot say what action will be taken
in regard to winding up the business
of the Stott company, but 1t is the
debts of the concern rather than those
of Strong & Co., that has brought
about the present condition. The
Stott partnership is dissolved the same
as that Of Strong & Co."

A TRIBUTE TO Mr.. A

Editor Gazette: 1 am panied be-
You'd measure to read in the reports Of
the morning of the death Of Marcus
DAILY. For eighteen years have I
known him and recognized in him a
manly man. 1t was my privilege for
several years to live as his neighbor in
the city OF Butte and at that time had
abundant opportunity to note the
prominent characteristics of the man.
With the Irish characteristic, he was
loyal to his friends and implacable
with his enemies. But he had II Of
the largest hearts of any man in the
state of Montana. Naturally reticent.
his many benefactions we're unknown.
yet i'll the city of Butte there are
today, widows in tears, orphans in
sorrow and men once strong and
robust, but now wrecks, who regard
the death of this man as a calamity.
He was aware Of the gravity of his
a1lment several years ago, but there
seemed to be no help for the primary
u that fastened his heart failure
and caused his death. Much has
been said by the press and those up
posed to know of the enminty existing
between Mr.: DAILY and Mr.. Clark.
Knowing the men so we'll as I do. I
think that the feeling has been largely
overdrawn and that now in the hour
OF death there will only be great sor-
row in the heart of the living over the
death Of his rival. For the past two
years, Mr.. DAILY has not been active
i'll the affairs of the state or of the
company that he represented, yet in
the individual affairs of his friends, he
has shown even during the period of
great suffering, an interest that has
always characterized him in his deal
ings with those who had called upon
him for help. His death has removed
one who always has been keenly alive
to the interests OF this state and
whose memory will be held i'll high
as the years work ont the
splendid projects that he instituted.

THE DAILY
Report of the Commercial Fluctuations of
Interest to Montanians.


Boston, Nov. 14-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say Of
the wool trade tomorrow:
The market has continued active
and a large volume of business has
been transacted though the sales fol
the past week figure UP slightly a less
total than those of the preceding
week. The Improvement noted in
prices just before the election has been
fully maintained and OF some lines of
secured and pulled woods, slightly
better prices are being asked and in
some cases, it is reported, have been
secured, but manufacturers as a rule,
are not willing to pay any advance be-
yond that noted in the market of last
week. The dress goods mills have
been the principal buyers. Some of
the Maine mills have been reported in
the market and have taken on some
fair sized lines of woods. Moderate
and smaller sized mills have been
more of a factor in the market. The
American Wooden company has bought
only moderately. The bulk of the
weeks business has been in terri
tories, grading fine and fine medium,
California and Oregon woods.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 1866, 600 pounds do
nestle and 100, 600 pounds foreign,
making a total of 1856. 900 pounds
against 6,205, 900 for the previous
week and a total of Is, 317, 776 for the
corresponding week last year: The
sales since January 1 amount to 1884,
1853. 300 pounds against 300, 324, 576
pounds for the corresponding time last
year.
The receipts of wool in Boston this
week amounted to 2, 400 bales domes-
tic and 747 bales foreign, making a
total of 3,207 bales against 6, 1889 bales
last week and 1909 bales for the
corresponding week last year. The
total receipts since January / have
been BAT, 704 bales of domestic and
1876, 99l bales of foreign against $751;
966 bales domestic and ", 1876 foreign
for the corresponding period of 1899.
This is a decrease of 231, 262 bales
domestic and an increase of 48, 1856

Concerns of State.
special to The Daily Gazette.

Helena, Nov. 14-Another promi
nent citizen Of Montana who hat
played a conspicuous part in the up
building OF the state passed away to
day when the grim reaper claimed the
Hon. Henry Filing Of Virginia City.
The death of this we'll known either
was sudden and the news that came
over the telephone from Virginia City
produced a profound shock in Helena,
where he had large interests and was
very well known as an honorable, up
right man. Mr.. Filing was in the best
of health last Saturday. Last Sunday
evening he complained Of a chill.
This was the inception Of acute pneu-
monia, which carried him away at
1:15 this afternoon.
The dead man was SO years old, a
Htive Of Germany and came TO Mon
fana when a boy in 1864, possessed of
a few dollars, honest and energetic.
He started in the clothing business in
out into banking, mining and
stock raising, SO that he died one of
the very rich men Of the state. He
was estimated to be worth So, 000, :
900. His wife was formerly Miss
Cooley, Of Virginia City, whom he
married in 1871, and had seven chill
dren, four girls, Of whom three are
married, and three boys. He never
held any public office other than that
Of mayor of Virginia City. He was
always a staunch republican and if he
had desired could have had almost n
office. He was prominently mentioned
before the last state convention as a
candidate for governor, but declined.
The dead man, besides being the
president and heaviest stakeholder of
the Union Bank and Trust company in
this city, and the heaviest stakeholder
in the Filing State bank of Virginia
City, was also president Of the First
State bank of Livingstone, president
of the Commercial National bank Of
Bozeman, president of the Carbon
County bank of Red Lodge and inter-
ested in other banks in the satte. He
had heavy mining n stock interests.
The Union Bank and Trust company
