ANOTHER PLEASING FARCE.

The Bittner Theatre company gave
last night what was probably the most
pleasing of the plays they have pre-
sented at the Atheneum so far.
Hot Time" is a rattling farce, full OF
fun from start to finish, and everyone
seems to fit in just right in the pro-
duction last night. The audience was
larger than the previous night and
everyone enjoyed the play. Notwith-
standing the intense heat, the audience
enjoyed every line in the performance.
The Bittner company excels in COM
edy. and last night there was fun
enough for everybody. The special
ties also We're high class and pleasing.
Tonight the company presents a
double bill. a short curtain raiser fol-
lowed by another farce, said to be
equal to anything yet produced for
merriment and enjoyment. The COM
5pany deserves another crowded house.

Eject Of Bells Upon cattle.

From observation of my own cattle I
am satisfied that bells in a herd Of
cattle have a salutary influence on
them, says a writer in the Florida
Times-Union. In my herd of nine
cows, besides dry cattle, | have i've
bells. They run at large, but they all
come up faithfully every evening with
out exception. I am satisfied that they
are fond of bells in their dumb way.
The sound of bells has a soothing eff
feet, as music has on wild animals. No
tradition of the human race is better
established than the power of sweet
sounds over the savage breast, be it
man or animal. / have never had any
cattle keep together so closely all the
time as they have this season; never
had them come home so faithfully at
night; never have seen them SO free
from ~viciousness toward one another.
The iercest Of them have become COM
paratively peaceable by the harmonic
ing influence of the tinkling bells. I
am satisfied that if every animal had
a bell on she would be the better for
it. 1t takes the wild and deyilish ma.
ture, the disposition to hook and kick.
out Of the worst animals, unless they
are made irritable by abuse or By be-
ing left out in a long cold rain.

THE TEMPERATURE YESTERDAY
WAS "a RECORD BREAKER-ONE
OF HOTTEST DAYS KNOWN.
Yesterdays temperature was a rec
~ordsbreaker at the local weather bur-
eau. It was the hottest day of the
season and one of the hottest days ever
known here. The highest tempera-
ture during the day was 1852 degrees.
This was, the actual temperature OF
the air. The thermometer rose two
more degrees just for luck after the
3 O'Clock report published in yester-
days Tribune.
Actual temperatures of 1O5 degrees
are rare. They are reported some
TINS through the state, but not all OF
the stations have proper places Of ex-
posure for thermometers, and hightI
temperature is recorded than the ac-
..tual heat Of the air. At the local
weather bureau the temperature is as
nearly accurate as possible to get it.

BEAUIIFY GROUNDS
Interest OF Northern Pacific in New De
pot Evidenced BY Letter from
Chief Engineer.
Proposed to Park Grounds in Vicinity of
the Depot, Sow Grass and
Set Trees.
City Council Should Take Immediate
Action Toward Cooperating
with the Company.


The interest taken by the Northern
Pacific officials in the matter of the
new depot is evidenced by a letter re-
sceiyed from Chief Engineer McHenry
by Mayor Patterson. It is proposed
to park the depot grounds, set out
trees and make the depot and grounds
n Of the beauty spots in the city. The
parking will extend to the grounds
back of the Mckenzie block, and there
will be a forty foot paved driveway in
a semicircle in front of the depot. This
will be supplemented with grass plots
flowers, etc. The city council should
take Immediate action toward cooper,
ating with the road, as requested by
Mr.. McHenry, and may rest assured
that their action in this direction viii
be warmly approved by the residents
or the city.
Mr.. McHenry's letter, written from
the Yellowstone division on the pres.
ent western trip, is as follows:
THE Northern Pacific Railway com
pany proposes to park the available
spaces around their new depot, to BIZ
built the present season at Bismarck
and / would suggest that, as the build.
ing and grounds will be for public
uses. and the grounds will, in fact, con.
stitute a public park, the city car
properly join us in beautifying and
maintaining this park.
The railroad company is willing tx
prepare the grounds, hauling the necss.
sary material if the present soil is I'm.
fit, and will provide the walks, grass
plots and a number of trees. l think
the city should provide an ornamental
