The rooms are set apart at the. college
for the art department, and these have
been s~killfully decorated this week for
the edifcation of visitors to the place.
Among the hangings of these rooms are
some beautiful TAPESTRIES over one hum
dred years old, the property of Mrs.
Marshall, the teacher of the department.
Groups of statuary, rich oil paintings,
water colors in bewitching p%rofusion
and crayon and pastel work galore en-
nance the beauty of he place. Among
the names appended to some of the
works of art are those of the following
students of the department: Miss Flor
ence Ballinger, Mrs. Leslie Gage, Miss
Hattie Parkins, Miss Penwell, Miss
Moore, Miss Margaret Ferris, Miss Mary
Waters and Mr.. Burle Jones. A string
of trout, perfect in design, is the work
of Miss Moore and several pen and Ink
sketches by Miss Ballinger n Miss
Ferris show the careful training and un-
doubted talent of the class. Miss Wa
tiers and Mr.. ones have On exhibition
ON beautiful pastel work and there
are some sketches in pen n ink by
the class that show marvellous accuracy
of detail on the part of those who drew
them. The studio is crowded all day
with visitors who come to feast their
eyes upon the wonderland of art, and
Mrs. Marshall attends to the reception of
the visitors with an alacrity and zest
that shows plainly that she is proud of
her pupils work. About twenty-six pu-
pills a work on exhibition this year.
Most of these are taking special work
under the teacher. but not a few are
pursuing the regular course in art with
a view to graduating.

Gus friends and relatives of the deceas-

Judge Smith imposed a fine of fifty
dollars OF Frank Bruce today in the po-
lice court. Bruce, it will be remembered,
was the colored individual who held up
a Chinaman in an alley with a lasso and
maltreated the Celestial to the great fear
of the latter and against the peace and
dignity of the state. Judge Saith re-
ceived al offer from Mr.. Bruce. looking
toward a compromise this afternoon.
The latter said he was short Of funds and
wOuld leave town rather than go to
Jail. The judge thought differently,
however, and rave the irrepressible

News came today that Roy Haxton
died at st. Peters hospital at Helena, in

remains will be here on tomorrow
mornings train and the funeral will
take place the following day. He was
thirty-six a OF g at the time of
his death. A wife n four children. the
youngest but a few months old, survive

A good story is going the rounds on a
trio of Masons who attended a recent
meeting of the Livingston lodge. Judge
J. A. Savage of the Gateway City, who
is considerable of a josher, tried to get
Jail with a view to locking them in and
t~elegraphing the news to their friends
in this city. The crafty craftsmen from
BoZeman were too wary for the judge,
however, and not to be the loser of a
good joke, the judge sent the following
message anyhow:
"BoZeman delegation in Jail; will you
go their bail?"
Al Love received the telegram and at
once sent back the reply: ,
INIT; bail m out with a pail"
The Bozeman Brass band has been
r~eOrganized and the new organization
has rented rooms over an East Main
street store building for practice quar-
ters. Time was when the council cham
Der of the city hall was open to the
band boys, but the hard-hearted council
has decreed that the horns blown in the
must be of a political species.
and the brass displayed must not be SO
fragile as that which goes into the COM
position of a band horn.
