N AND BANQUET.
Billings Elks and Their Friends Have a
Delightful Time.

Without doubt the most brilliant So
cial function of the winter season in
Billings was thu ball and banquet
given at the Billings opera house Fri
day night by the Benevolent Protective
Order of Elks No. 1894, Of this city,
for which 200 invitation were issued.
The lodge of Elks are noted for
their hospitality and knack of enter
tanning, and the event Of last evening
more fully bears out the statement
that the Elks cannot be excelled in
that particular. They bear that happy
faculty of being able to care for their
friends in a graceful manner where
expense and pains are not spared to
make it a success. m
The house was beautifully and very
artistically decorated, the colors of
the order, purple and white, predomi-
mating. On the east and west walls
of the room were the following in
scriptlous, "B. P. o. E.,""Billings
Lodge, 'tNo. 1874, ""l1,' worked in
purple and white letters upon purple
and white backgrounds, while purple
and white streamers were suspended
from the large chandelier in the center
to the boxes. and the balcony. Over
the two boxes and the front of the
balcony were suspended three elk
heads, the antlers of which emitted
purple and white lights.
The dancing programme, consist
ing of 20 numbers, began at 9 O'Clock,
music for the occasion being furnished
by Prof. L. St. Jeans orchestra.
From 1880 to 1880 refreshments
were served on the stage.

the affair were as follows:

TO BOUNTY.
Another Bill introduced in Legislature.
State School Building.

. state SCHOOL building.
Senator Phillips bill, introduced in
the senate Friday morning, increases
the bounty on wolves and coyotes to
IS per head and makes no distinction
between cubs and full grown wolves.
Stockmen consider it probable that
this bill or a similar one will pass or
the tax on the stock interests of the
state be reduced to 8 mills. The
money now to the credit of this fund
is far in excess of the current de-
mands and as a large surplus will re-
suit in a year or two the bounty will
either be increased or the tax de-
creased. The bill also allows a boun-
ty of So for the killing Of mountain
lions.
Senator Murray will advocate the
enactment Of the bill introduced by
him authorizing the issuance of $685.
900 worth of bonds to enable the state
normal school board to build a DOR
mitory, boarding hall and to complete
the main wing of the school. The
plans are to be prepared under the di-
rection of the normal board and ap-
proved by the state board of education.
The measure will probably meet with
some opposition, as there is a DISPOSE
ton to cut short the further issuance
of bonds, for the time at least, by the
various state institutions. The state
board of education refused to ecom
mend the special bond issue to the leg
islature. {

John Prince, living across the river

Coroner DR.. Chapple Friday after

the skeleton about a mile from Clan

in a coulee. Near the body was a
pair of CHAPS" shoes and spurs and
also a coffeepot, leading n to sup

REINFORCING THE GOLD STANDARD

Minneapolis Journal: In accordance
with the recommendations of the Sec
rotary of the streaury in his annual
report that it will be necessary to
strengthen the gold standard law,
several bills with that object in view
have been presented in congress-, each
Of which, while differing in some pro-
visions, provides for the exchange
of the gold and silver coins of the
United States at the option of the
holder. Secretary Gage said that,
while the gold standard act of March
IA, 1900, has wrought good results,
there is lacking sufficient mandatory
requirements to furnish complete con
idence in the continued parity, under
all conditions, between our gold and
silver money.
The secretary rightly said in a re-
cent discussion of the subject, that, if
congress fails to make gold and silver
e~xchangeable it implied a doubt as to
whether they are at a parity, and, in
times of depression, gold would be
withheld and silver certificates would
be piled up in the treasury through
payments of customs dues and taxes
As a matter of fact, the law of March
IA, 1900, does not give the country any
new methods of redemption. It ought
not to be necessary, when making a
contract involving the payment of
money, to stipulate that gold must be
paid. Under the gold standard there
should BIZ no money value but gold
and by making all our silver money
exchangeable in gold and gold into sill
yer the purpose is accomplished.
To effect this exchangeability one of
the bills before congress authorizes
the secretary of the treasury to employ
any part Of the reserve fund Of gold
coin and bullion established by the act
of last year, and the money received
in exchange for gold and bullion under
the provisions of the act shall be held
in the reserve fund and not be paid
out except for gold.
Another bill authorizes the treasury
to exchange gold for silver to the
amount of So Or it's multiples and
bonds are to be issued when necessary
for the redemption of silver money.
A provision of this bill requires the
coinage of the bullion in the treasury
into subsidiary coins in preference to
dollars. Under the proposed amend
ments silver and greenbacks are made
promises to pay in gold and, practical
ly, not in theory, all money will
be worth it's face in gold and by some
such legislation the most serious de-
feet in the gold standard law will be
removed. With our enormously ex-
panding business there should be an
irrefragible foundation of the public
credit.

WHO WAS D. L L
This Is the Name Cat on Chaps Found
with Skeleton.

Coroner DIR. James Chapple went
out Saturday morning, to the coulee
about 10 miles east Of Billings, return
ing in the afternoon with the skeleton
of the man found on Thursday.
The skeleton was almost complete,
some of the bones of one hand, one
foot and a portion Of the backbone
having disappeared.
The discovery was made by Albert
Webster, a siseepherder for W. H.
Clanton, the bones being found near a
tree. Nearby the skeleton was a pair
of chaps, Oh which was cut the name
D. lilly, Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Small pieces of clothing and buttons
were also found nearby, and there
were lnprints in the ground of what
is supposed to have been blankets.
Marks on the tree indicated that it
had been struck by lightning and this
is thought to have been the n in
which the man met his death.
Webster claims that when he first
discovered the skeleton, he saw a large
rat run from it under the tree. In
vestlgation around the tree disclosed
the fact that the rat had gathered
small pieces of clothing, etc., at the
base. Webster stated to the coroner
that he would make further investi-
cation, but it is not thought any more
light will be thrown upon the affair.
No one in Billings seems to have
known any such person as D. Tilly.
The bones were we'll preserved, be-
ing bleached white, and had possibly
been there about 10 years. They
were placed in a box and will be iu-
tered in the city cemetery.
