NORTHERN PACIFIC ANNUAL.
Call for Proxies of Stockholders is
Issued.


The call for the proxies of share
holders for the annual meeting of the
Northern Pacific to be held in New
York early next month has been issu-
ed, but it is understood that nothing
affecting the policy of the company
is specified in the call. 1t is interest
ing in that no reference is made to
the question of the retirement of the
preferred stock. Apart from this fact
there is excellent authority for say
ing that no such action is contemplat-
ed this year.
One year ago the mn stock of
the company was selling at 81 and the
financial writer's were doubtful about
its value as an investment, fearing
that the company would not then be
able to maintain it's 3 per cent divi-
dend. But the dividend has been in
creased to 4 per cent, and there is nc
doubt in the minds of the officials
that it will this year earn 6 per cent
or 8 per cent, but the dividend is not
likely to be increased out of regard
to the policy of conservatism.

Billings News Plant Transferred to
to New Owners.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The Billings News, a local news
paper established as a semiweekly
publication about a year ago, has
been sold by AL. Filson, it's founder,
to a stock company. The News has
not been a success financially, but
the new purchasers, it is said, will
conduct it upon different lines and
make it a strong paper politically,
which is to. be democratic.
No information is given to the
public by Judge Matheson, who is to
be the editor, as to the new owners
of the plant, but rumor has it that
backing comes from several we'll
known democrats of the state who
are politically ambitious. Judge
Matheson took formal charge yester-
day.

County Attorney Hathhorn: II
think a telegram of that character
should be treated as a crime and l
hope that congress will enact a law
to wipe out yellow journalism as well
as anarchy. The telegram sent here
today by the Record was an outrage"
Alderman Reynolds: Il don't think
that any newspaper should treat a
subject as did the Record today for
financial gain. If the Record had en-
terprise enough to get the news it
should have known what it was do
ing before that bulletin of the presi-
dents death was sent out, only to be
contradicted by the same paper a
few hours later. 1t is too serious to
trife with a matter of that kind for
the sake Of the almighty dollar"
DR.. w. o. Allen: "The Record
should know where it is at before it
sends out such kilograms"
Police Judge Mann: "To send out
bulletins that President Mckinley is
dead, when the facts showed the CON

Record desired notoriety."
Charles Chapple: II think the

should be punished"
Judge Matheson: "I consider that

Sheriff Hubbard: 81 think it an
indecency. No such newspaper should

G. w. Spar: Il am surprised that
a newspaper claiming to be reputable
should send out such kilograms with

A matter of that kind is too sacred for

H. w. Rowley: "In regard to the
Record bulletin announcing the death
of the president this morning, it
seems to me that in a matter Of such

FOR A

Assistance.

HSSlSIdIlIC .E.".
Senator Clark is of the opinion that
it would be poor policy for the state
to make no effort to secure a respect
able representation at the St. Louis
exposition and is willing to help the
matter along to the extent, of advanc-
ing 25 per cent of the sun of $50, 900,
which he says could be expended in
the direction Of making a creditable
showing. This offer is conditional.
The senator will make the loan pro-
vided a general interest shall be
manifested in the project in different
parts Of the state, embracing the
most prominent industries.
Senator Gibson says that while
Montana should be willing to aid in
properly carrying out the plans for
the exposition, he cannot seen how
money can be pledged by the state
in aid of it. He thinks that if 40 or
so of the influential men in different
parts of the state, together with the
commercial clubs and associations,
would pledge themselves to secure a
suitable appropriation for an exhibit
worthy of the state the next legis-
lature would not hesitate a moment
in acting ~favorably. He says further
that he would be willing to pledge
his influence toward securing finan-
cial assistance from the next legis-
lature,

A Girls Quick Wit Averts Serious
Fire,

An alarm of fire sent the depart
ment scurrying to the residence of w.
H. Ross, in North Tw%enty-fifth street,
yesterday afternoon. When the fire
men arrived they found that ihe.f
services were not required, neigh
bors having e%xtinguished the blaze.
While the damage done was nom
ina;, only the rave presence Of mind
.: Mabel, the daughter os Mr.. r ,ss,
a miss of about IA, averted more SER
ious loss and probably also saved her
W life. Miss Mabelh had started a fire
in {. gasoline sr)va ana as the fluid
did rot seem to IN sufficiently free
:;,lh containing it and in :loing so
some of the gasoline was spilled onto
the floor. In an instant the kitchen
was wrapped in a mass of flames and
the girl ran into a closet, in front of
the door of which the stove was
standing. The flames rushed into
closet and her retreat was cut off.
When it seemed that escape was i'm
possible she bethought herself of a
coat that was hanging in the closet
and threw it upon the burning liquid
in front of her. This had the effect
Of momentarily checking the flames
and the girl rushed out and gave the
alarm to some men who we're work
ing on the opposite side of the street.
They fastened to the house and with
other assistance managed to put out
the fire.

CITY IN
Sombre EmbIems of Woe On Every
Side.

From SunLay's~Daily Gazette.
Flags floating at half mast, bust
ness and other houses draped in
mourning and displaying pictures of
the dead chief, and citizens wearing
tiny flags wreathed with the sombre
emblems of woe were among some
OF the outward signs of grief visible
throughout the city yesterday when
the news of the death of President
Mckinley became known. Never, it
is safe to say, has the death of any
public man evoked SO many express
sions Of sincere regret as were to be
heard on all sides yesterday. In pay
ing tribute to the memory of the ma
TONS dead all men Joined and party
lines and past political differences
were forgotten by those who sought
to give expression to the sorrow they
felt at the death Of the man whom all
had learned to respect for his man
ly virtues and purity of official and
private life.
While the praises of the dead were
voiced in heartfelt words, the wretch
who is responsible for the calamity
which has befallen the land came
in for words of the bittest reproba-
ton and the denunciations Of him
and all who share in his creed of
murder and violence were as deep
as they were fierce. Fortunate, in
deed, was it for him that it was not
the Billings Jail that held him or
the story told would be different.
Somehow during the day it was
men who subscribed to the doctrines
Of anarchy and although no open
threats were made and no suggestion
of violence was offered, yet it was
plainly to be discerned that it would
take but a little flame to start a
mighty conflagration. Whom the al
legged anarchists. are could not be
a%scertained. Certain it was that
they maintained a discreet silence
and refrained from giving utterancet to
aught that might cause their ident.
ity to be Revealed and by doing SO
probably not only saved their own
lives, but also saved the reputation
of the city for law and love of order.
It may. all be a mistake, but if there
are really any anarchists INF the city,
prudence would suggest the utmost
circumspection of speech and action
On their part, for the present temper
of the people is such that it might
be a difficult matter to restrain them,
once did they get aroused. While
sveral persons were seen who said
they had heard of the trio, all ex-
pressed the hope that the report
might be false and that the city was
not disgraced by harboring such
vipers and reptiles. There were some
who's ought to verify the rumor, but
they were unsuccessful. Perhaps it
was best that they were.

AN EDUCATIONAL FOLLY.
school System Forces Children to study
Incon genial Snbircts.

Harold L. GOrSt has radical ideas on
the subject of education. He is quoted
in Current Literature as saying: Our
existing school system consists in
Jumping together masses OF school
children in what are called classes, and
stuffing into Their head collectively a
quantity of knowledge based, not upon
the individual bent of each child. but
upon a fixed code and curriculum. The
principle is to set forty or fifty chill
dren doing and thinking precisely the
same thing. The result is inevitable,
There is top of the class and bot
tom of the class. Those who reach
the former are regarded as the clever
ones; those who remain at the latter
are looked upon as ounces. The CLASH
fcation is wholly unfair and grossly
idiotic All that it really reveals is
the RIGHTEOUSNESS of system which
creates stupid children by forcing
upon their brains subjects for which.
they are not receptive. The fool of
the Latin class might distinguish him
self In natural history, but the peda-
gogue goes on stuffing him with syn
tax and grammar, regardless of the
fact that his mind is absorbed in
beetles, and that he never attends
school without a pocketful of mice.
Not only must this method of teaching
EN- bloc be abolished tngether, but
teaching in itself, as We understand
the term, should be vigorously avoid
ed. Every encoura gene ught to be
given to pupils to learn. acre should
be less reading and more reflection
The pernicious custom OF learning by
rote ought to h inscribed upon the
penal code. Hanging would be too
light punishment for the teacher
who destroyed the minds of his
charges by making them commit Cas-
abianca' to memory"
