CAUGHT IN cAVE.IN.
Workman Buried Under Huge Mass
of Falling Earth.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Only few men can truthfully boast
of having been buried under a mass
of earth weighing no less than 25
tons and being dug out without as
much as an abrasion of the skin to
bear witness to their experience. Yet
this happened to Joseph Lane, an en-
ploye of the Slater brick yard, yester-
day afternoon.
Lane was engaged in gouging clay
from the face of a drift u into the
side of a bank. While thus employ
ed he was buried by a cave-in that
occurred and his fellow workmen took
it for granted that he had been kill
ed, although they set about with all
possible speed to rescue him. Thought
fully they began to dig at the place
where they supposed his head would
be, in order to afford him air in case
he should be still alive. Their cal
culations proved to be correct, for
in a short time they unearthed the
upper portion of his body and found
him not only alive, but Justify calling
on them to hurry up and get him
out of his predicament, as he had
serious objections to being buried
alive and in that unceremonious man
ner.
Soon he was entirely uncovered and
resumed work as though to be the
chief actor in a cave-in was part of
his regular duties.

WARNING WITH NATURE.
Buffalo Grass Said to Cause Ho
Winds.

r. L
The nan with the idea, who has
something new and startling to pro.
pose, is always around. This time
he halls from the southwestern part
of South Dakota and says that buff
falo grass, which has so long been re-
garded with especial favor by the
stockman, is responsible for the hot
winds which occasionally sweep over
the country and dry up range and
just this once, and does not claim the
distinction of being the sole discov-
.erer of the mighty truth that he is
endeavoring to disseminate for the
benefit-of the dwellers of the plains.
A gentleman who arrived from
Deadwood a few days ago informs
The Gazette that a Doctor Clough of
that city recently returned from Il
visit to western Nebraska and there
claimed to have learned the informa-
ton which he is giving out. The
buffalo grass, the doctor says, dries
up or ripens early in the year, SO
that one may walk where it is heavy
early in the morning without as
much as getting ones shoes damp,
while if one steps into a bunch Of
wheat grass ones shoes are imme-
diately damped and even soaked
through if the walk is extended far
enough Therefore it is believed that
if buffalo grass could be turned over
and replaced with wheat grass much
Of the danger from hot winds would
be lessened and an increase of mois-
ture obtained.
The Gazette's informant stated that
the doctor had told him that so strong
had the belief grown in the parts of
Nebraska visited by him that buffalo
grass was responsible for the lack of
moisture there and the prevalence of
hot winds that a number of stock
men had undertaken the task of plow-
ing their ranges and working in
wheat grass in place of the destruc-
tive buffalo grass. The wheat grass
gives a much larger yield of feed and
if it should act as a ~conservator of
moisture the change would be a ben
eficial one.
From the foregoing it is evident
that the Deadwood scientist and the
editor Of the Yellowstone Journal en-
terrain opinions widely divergent rel
ative to the beneficence Of nature in

ing his manhood and his job at the
Grow Agency at the same time he
will accomplish something nobody
else has ever been able to accomplish
at that hellhole of infamy.
Although DR.. Townsend has passed
the age limit by which he could enter
the government service as a physi.
clan under the rules Of civil service,
his excellent standing as a physician
in civil war times, and later in the
pension service, aided very material
ly in securing for him the appoint
ment. DR.. Townsend will prove him
self a successful physician at the
Grow Agency if allowed to write his
own prescriptions.

A FUGITIVE.
Police Arrest Boy Who Escaped From
Forsyth Jail.

ForSyth jail.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Officers Hayden and Taylor early
yesterday morning arrested a youth
full fugitive from justice in the per.
son of Roy Foley, whose parents re-
side near Miles City, although the
boy escaped from the authorities of
Rosebud county.
The boy, who is only about IA years
of age, was arrested at Forsyth for
larceny, being charged with the theft
of several watches. He was placed in
Jail pending a hearing and last Mon
day, while permitted to pass onto the
outside for some purpose, gave the
jailer the slip. After regaining his
liberty he struck up a companionship
with q tramp and the latter assisted
him to stow himself away on a spec
ial freight train which happened to
pass through the town shortly after
ward. The Forsyth officials wired to
the police of this city to be on the
look out for the lad, as they suspected
he had started in this direction. In
consequence all incoming trains were
closely watched and when the special
appeared the two officers boarded it
and after it had come to a stop they
made search for the youngster and
found him in company of the tramp.
They arrested the boy and ordered
the tramp to continue his travels,
which he did without further instruc-
tons.
The the officers the boy said that
they did not give him enough to eat
in the Forsyth Jail and he concluded
to cut loose at the first opportunity.
He said he was allowed but two meals
a day while in Jail and he wanted
three, to which he had always been
accustomed and could not get along
without fewer than that number.
The Forsyth authorities have been
notified of the arrest and an officer
is expected to arrive this morning
and take the boy back.

WILL PLAY POLO.
An Unusual Attraction Promised for
the Fair.

One of the attractions which will
be offered for the entertainment of
the visitors to the fair promises to be
as interesting as it is unusual in
these parts. Polo will be played by
expert players and their mounts will
consist of ponies specially trained and
broken for the sport.
Malcolm Moncrief, the Big Horn
horseman, has written to the secre-
tary of the association that he will
: be on hand with two teams and will
show the visitors to the fair how polo
is played by men who understand the
game. Mr.. Moncrief makes a spec
ialty of raising and training ponies
for polo playing, as he has established
a market for the animals in England,
where the game is n of the most
popular forms of diversion affected
by the Weather class. In order that
the animals may be thoroughly train
ed for the game, Mr.. Moncrief has a
number of first-class players in his
ET -E EE
employ who put the ponies through
a regular course and finish them for
the work expected of them after they
get beyond the sea. In order that the
course of training may be complete in
every detail, the number Of trainers
employed by Mr.. Moncrief are suf-
ficient to constitute two full teams.
AS nobody can be found in these
parts who understands the game, the
gentleman has written that he will
bring his entire force along.
In view of the attraction the sport
promises to be, the fair managers
have decided not to try to secure the
attendance of the outside ball teams
with whom negotiations were opened
some time ago. The cost Of bring
teams here from Butte or Anaconda
would be so great that it has been
deemed advisable not to incur it and
polo will be played instead.

Fortunate the Man Who Has Potatoes
to Sell.

The Montana rancher who took a
notion last spring to go in for a long
crop of potatoes is in a position where
he can hobnob with the wne of
copper mines and men who own sheep
and cattle. To the drouth in the po-
tato growing regions of the middle
west he must give thanks for the
prospective wealth that is his. AS
far east as New York the tubers are
selling for a dollar a bushel, while in
California the same price is paid for
them delivered on the cars for ship
ment east. AS Montana is much near
err to the market than California, it
is but natural that the prices to be
expected in this state should be high
re, especially later in the season when
the demand must become greater, as
by that time the eastern supply will
have been almost exhausted.

IDEALS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
Plea for the Suppression Of Fads in
the Schools.

Plea for the Suppression Of Fads in
the Schools.
Philadelphia Ledger: The duty Of
educating the young is one of the
most important the state has to dis
charge, a fact whose r%eiteration makes
it seem trite, but which does not al
ways get the practical attention it
merits. On this duty depends the
whole welfare of the state, for the
children of today will be the men and
ONE of tomorrow and everything
depends or the way in which they are
trained and taught.
The object of the state i'm it's sys-
TEN Of public schools is to give the
best education practicable to the larg-
est number and to cut off ignorance,
the supreme foe of all public progress,
from every possible avenue of en-
trance. To do this many things are
necessary, the first of which, and pos
sibly the most imperative, is to re-
gard the schools as primarily for the
benefit of the children. Politics should
have absolutely nothing whatever to
do with them in any shape or form.
When politics enter the schoolroom
door efficiency and good service fly
out Of the window. The three will no
more mix than oil and water.
Faddists should be vigorously
barred. The tender brains Of little
children are entirely too delicate and
sensitive to be made the subjects of
irresponsible experimenters. The first
consideration should be that the
schoolhouses in which education is to
be impaired and in which children
pass so many hours Of their young
lives are thoroughly clean, we'll light,
ed and in the best sanitary condition,
for the development of bodily health
is a very important part of education.
To develop the mind and wreck the
body is like filling a vessel with treas.
ure and then sinking it in the sea.
! The best teachers possible should
be secured and their compensation
ought to be at par with their services.
The greatest mistake a community
can make is to have a corps Of poorly
paid teachers for It's schools. These
teachers, once obtained, should feel
that their positions are ecure from
the baneful influence OF prejudice and
