The following was handed The State

we're in Columbis last week:
To the Veterans Of South Carolina:
I have in my possession a Bible
which was evidently the property Of
some devoted Christian soldier who
had the distinguished honor of being
oae Of your noble band Of heroes dur
Jag 1861. 1865. As you have assembled
in our city to meet again fsce to face,
to face with those whom you once
stood shoulder to shoulder at Gettys-
burg. Penn, and on many other
equally trying occasions, I thought by
publishing this article I might be able
to return this Bible to those to whom
it rigatfu!ly belongs. If the one that
once owned it has passed cover the
river" I will gladly return it to any
relative claiming the same.

was arrested by Policeman Corle. He
offered to give bond, but the Office
would not let him go.
Policeman Ed Corle was called next
and testified to having arrested Badg-
ely in front of the Montana saloon,

Smith said that he found the woman
lying out in the snow and then went
to find the officers. He was sitting in
his home nearby when he heard the
shots, and ran out to see what thel
trouble was. Jenkins said he was in
Cummings saloon when he heard the
shots fired and on going out saw the
woman fall to the sidewalk. At that
time there was no one else nearby.
DR.. Baxter was called and testified
to having been called to see the
woman about three weeks previous to
her death. She had taken some
antiseptic tablets and when asked why
she did SO said that she was tired Of
life and wished to die, and if she
failed in the attempt this time would
succeed the next time.
DR.. Armstrong, who performed the
autopsy on the remains, testified to|
having done So, saying that death rel

upper side of the forehead. The
wound was caused from a ~38-calibre|

churches of the city. The choirs and
Sunday schools of the several religious
organizations had been working for
several weeks in anticipation of the
gladstone day, and it's coming was
hailed with joyfulness by all. Special
services were held in the Catholic,
Congregational and Methodist churches
in the morning. These places of wor-
ship looked most beautiful with their
profuse and artistic decorations of
Easter lilies, other flowers and plants,
which had been arranged by the skill
full hands of the children and those in
terested in the work.
In addition to the usual music, the
choir of the Catholic church sang a
new mass, which was of the finest
ever heard in the city, the voices of
the choir being among the best Of the
musical talent of Billings. The choir
of the Congregational church. was COM
posed entirely of male voices, the
music rendered being exceptionally
fine. The music at the Methodist
church was furnished by a choir of
mixed voices. At each of these
churches the ministers preached SER
nous touching upon the resurrection
of the Lord. In the evening the Sun
day schools of the Congregational,
Baptist and Methodist churches had
charge, rendering appropriate exer-
cises. The churches were crowded.

repair to the fair grounds, where they
will have contests of running, jump

some of them are developing excep-

Billings and will no doubt attract at
tention, not only from the patrons Of

"sHor GUN" QUARANTINE RAISED
All But One Camp Freed from the
Disease.

The county commissioners yester-
day ordered the Shotgun" quarantine
raised from the Yellowstone wagon
bridge and the Northern Pacific rail-
road bridge. This action was taken
after careful investigation by the board
and on its being convinced that the
smallpox epidemic at the grading
camps was over. The only camp
which is still affected by the disease is
Conner's and a quarantine has been
established at the camp.
The quarantine, which was estab-
lished some five OF six weeks ago. is
believed to have been the means Of
keeping out and stamping out the dis
ease in Billings.

A PARK AQUARIUM.

the trustees of the Mechanics Institute, at
II the request of the Park Commissioners have
turned over to the park authorities the aqua
rum tanks in the Mechanics Pavilion it is fair to
assume that it is the intention to establish Golden
Gate Park the foundation of aquarium 1t is graft
tying to have such movement under way. The
aquarium may have begin in but small way, but
there is possibility Of making of the foremost
if not the very foremost in the world.
An elaborate aquarium would be something more
than spectacle for the people, however excellent
would be in that way. At the present time scientific
research is largely directed to the and the mar
velous life that goes within its depths Wherever
aquarium of any scientific value is established stu
dents assemble from all parts OF the civilized world
1t is therefore possible to add to the prestige of the
city center of science and of learning by provd
ing here aquarium that would be fairly represen-
tative of the fishes of the Pacific Ocean.
San Francisco has advantages of situation and of
climate which will help to tighten the cost of making
and maintaining large aquarium. The proximity
to the renders comparatively easy obtain sea
water for the tanks and to obtain the fish that are
to dwell in them. The midness of the climate
throughout the year will the heavy cost which
other cities have to bear to keep the waters from
freezing in the winter. Thus the undertaking of an
aquarium does not involve the Park Commissioners
in any kind of costly enterprise
1t may be accepted fairly certain that when once
an aquarium has been established it will become one
of the most popular resorts at the park. Public ap-
proval will be given to its extension and perhaps lib
eral contributions may be made by generous citizens
The movement, therefore, is that tends in the
right direction and is to be hoped it will go brsky
forward.

A MATTER OF BIGNESS.

n ROM statements made by the officers of the
r Louisiana Purchase Exposition, to be held at
St. Louis, it appears to be their intention to
make bigger exposition than any ever before held
All their talk is of bigness We hear nothing about
interesting, instructive, does not count The one
thing be achieved is to make it in every respect
mammoth aggregation of stupendous details" as the
circus posters have it.
The Columbian exposition at Chicago occupied 666
of ground, but the St. Louis people have set
apart acres in Forest Park for their exposition
and the managers asking for 200 acres more.
so as to have 400 for what they call their colossal

To provide enormous structures for the huge area
they have already raised money than Chicago
had to begin with, and they expect much more. For

THE GENERAL RESULT.

THE result of the State elections in the East
offers not ray of hope to the Democracy
which Bryan has so thoroughly demoralized
that it seems incapable of reinstatement in public
fdence While it is not gratifying that a Republican
machine like that in Pennsylvania maintains its grip
on the State yet that is owing to the overwhelming
Republican sentiment there and to the feeling that
anything is better than the giving of aid and
fort to the Bryan movement.
The extreme communistic programme of Mr..
Josiah Quincy in Massachusetts was lure to the
voters, and his plan for uniting conservatives and
radicals under the same banner has failed utterly
The effort to Tomjohnson Ohio has met with no
better success, and the Nebraska fusion has gone
down under the sense of Republican amity and the
frowns of such old Democratic leaders as Sterling
Morton.
The only reaction is in Maryland where in running
from Wellington the voters have run into the arms
OF German. The race issue was potent in that re-
suit, 1t in Virginia, and the net conclusion
from all the elections is that the South will stay with
the race problem and vote anti-Republcan while the
North will stay with national prosperity and progress
and remain Republican
The race issue out of the way, the country would
be unanimous politically and as little partisan as
in the golden age" when Monroe had all the cleo
tora votes but one and that cast against him only be-
cause the elector said he wanted no man unanimously
elected President. He was Monroe man, but wanted
TO be different from the
The South is prospering and desires to continue
prosperous, and, freed from her chronological afhc-
ton, would join the rest OF the country and be Re
publican. But that is an Indifferent matter The
majority is Republican and there is no sign of a
change The party must not forget its responsibility
sleep at its post 1t is strong enough to do right
and old enough to know what right is.
The unanirnity of present political conditions does
not that its power is never to be challenged
but if in time fate overtake it let Repubicanism be
found with its hand the pow and with every wheel
turning and every ship full OF cargo and every mouth
fed
That this will be the case no student of economy
doubts. Just what form the opposition will take next
eye foresee. With the two methods of fusion
beaten in their homes, in Massachusetts and Ne
braska, IT may well be that the opposition will be in
effect abandoned to the socialists and that party may
become the resduary legatee of the political estate
which Mr.. Bryan has bankrupted
The enormous pluralties in Ohio and Iowa in an
off year and with light vote show that Republican
s is as strong in the agricultural as in the manu-
featuring sections of the country Even Tammanv
has gone down, and that sole remaining Democratic
power is destroyed If the negro question were ont
of the way motion TO make It unanimous wouId he

There will be room in it for mile racetrack. There
are to be other huge record breaking structures
Among them will be the manufacturers building No.
I, 600 by 1900 feet; transportation building 600 by
1900 teet; mines and metallurgy building, 600 by
! 1900 feet; the United States Government building
will cover 100000 square feet Other buildings, all
the largest of their kind ever used for exposition
purposes, are the electricity the liberal arts, the
education, the social economy the service. The
total cost of these buildings has been estimated at
$7ooo,ooo
In respect the ST. Louis enterprise will fall be-
low the magnitude OF that at Chicago-the art de-
partment will not be large as that at the Coum-
ban Exposition; but the St. Louis official who ad
mtted the defect was prompt to add that the quality
will be much finer. Then the St. Louis Exposition
expects to prove superior to all predecessors in the
extent to which it will be live show. Thus
told: There will be the cotton mill in operation
There will be the pork-packing house in operation
There will be the cheese factory in operation There
will be the zinc, lead, coal and gold and silver mines
and the smelter in operation Everything will be 'on
the move"
Finally, St Louis is to have big thing in the way
of novelty, bigger than the Tour Eifel or the Fer
ris wheel 1t is to be "aeral globe, built of steel
and glass; with a circumference of thousand feet
and capacity to hold $4,000 people. 1t is to be
chuck full of amusements from bottom to top and we
told: There will be room for thousands to en-
JOY la carte evening meal while feasting their
eyes upon sem-tropical luxuriance of plants and
flowers in all their glory and and looking
upward at the awe-inspiring steel arches us feet
high, and eight in number which will rise from the
edge of the garden and meet at the extreme top of
the globe under the observatory tower room $40 feet
above the ground"
Really St. Louis seems determined to push bigness
to the limit. Possibly she marks the end of that
kind of extravaganza. After the big thing has been
seen we may hope there will be return to reason
among our people and that expositions hereafter will
aim not at mere magnitude, but at something of
tistic excellence Already there are many Americans
who would rather not see so much than have to
see SO many things that not worth seeing.
