but one of the principal witnesses for

Weber has been in the county Jail
since his arrest early last spring, and,
according to the statement of John N.
Kirk, one of his attorneys, is quite anx-

alight. William Dougherty, who is al
legged to have shared the transactions of
Weber, was taken into custody along
with Weber, but was shortly afterwards
released on bond. His case was also
set for trial today. but as the testimony

man named Young, his partner in the
saloon business in the Occur d'Alene

years for the crime, and served his time,
but was allowed the customary reduc-

Dougherty became acquainted with each

TWO BUTTE YOUTHS RUN AWAY
Son of J. J. Grant, With Companion,
Leave Unceremoniously For
Parts Unknown.

j. J. Grant, the proprietor of the lodg-
ing house over the Bennett block, East
Park street, is out looking for 12-year-
old son. /
The boy, William Grant, has been at
tending the public school on East Broad
way, with his brother, and has been sew
eral times convicted of playing truant,
for which, at his fathers hands, he has
received the maximum penalty. A day
or so ago, however, the father. thinking
the principal of the school would be more
conversant with the sons delinquencies
and would just as efficiently mete out
punishment, gave the instructor carte
blanche in the matter.
Yesterday noon William failed to show
UP at lunch, but the father paid little
attention to his absence as this very
often occurred. Again at dinner he did
not put in an appearance, but the cause
this time was ascribed to the supposition
that he had followed in the wake of the
minstrel band, and later gained admit
lance to the show.
When at 1870. however, his where
the fathers fears became aroused and
this morning he called at the Jail to
put the police on the scent.
There is boy companion mixed up in
the RUNAWAY. Ernst Edensten. whose
parents have recently removed from
Granite to Butte, is also missing. and it
is thought they have decamped together
A close search will be instituted at once
and the two culprits, it is anticipated,
will be located in short time.

TAKING LIFE MASKS.
It Is a Tedious Operation, Especially
for the Subject.

It Is Tedious Operation, Especially
for the Subject.
One often observes when reading Of
the demise of a celebrity that q mask
was taken by Mr.. So-and-So, the cele-
brated sculptor, soon after the death,
but really very few people know how
this is carried out. They might have
some idea that plaster of paris is put
over the dead mans face, but there the
idea ends.
A mask from life is taken almost pre-
cisely in the same way as after death,
save that much greater care has to be
used, as the subjects life hangs on
very thin thread, or, to be more precise,
two small quilts. 1t requires a great
deal of nerve and patience to undergo,
the sensation being most disagreeable.
When a mask from life is about to be
secured, the subject reclines on n long
table, and towels are placed around his
neck and forehead to prevent the plast-
er going where not intended. The face
is slightly creased, but not enough to
fill the pores of the skin. Care has to
be especially taken with the eyelashes,
as otherwise, in the subsequent opera
lions, these are likely to be pulled off,
which would not be exactly pleasant.
A small quill is now inserted in either
nostril to allow the subject to breathe
through, and cotton wool lightly press
ed around the base to keep the liquid
plaster from intruding. A pair of scis.
sors is always kept handy, so as to be
able to cut off the tops of the quilts,
should by any chance the plaster splash
up and cover them. All being ready a
few cheering words are spoken to the
unhappy victim, and the plaster is mix
ed over the features. The plaster,
through being mixed with warm water,
quickly hardens, and in the course of
about five minutes the mold Is strong
enough to be taken of. 1t has to be
carefully done, as the subject is gener-
ally so very eager to get mouthful of
fresh air once again. A slight tap with
the hand is given to the two side pieces,
which relieves the joints made by the
thread. The top or central piece Is
then lifted up and pulled slightly down
ward, so as to withdraw the quilts
from the nose as they come out with
the Eaold. The sides are then taken off.
Probably some of the hair may hold the
mold, but with little coaXing, or by
the insertion of the scissors, it can soon
be removed. Care must be used to get
the ears, but without breaking either
the subject or the mold. The ears are
only taken on the front sides, cotton
wool being placed at the back to pre-
vent the plaster going around. When
removed the three pieces are put to-
gether and plaster placed on the eXter-
Tor to hold and strengthen them

WAS NO MATCH FOR RHODES
How the South African Magnate Got
the Best of Barney Barnato.

How the South African Magnate Got
the Best of Barney Barnato.
"a cousin of mine who lives in South
Africa" said B. A. Conyers, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, to a reporter, ''told me a
curious story of Barney Barnato and
Cecil Rhodes, and how the latter out
reached the former. My cousin told me
Barnato told him the story himself, and
said at the time that in the course of
his (Barnato's) adventurous and re-
markable career Cecil Rhodes was the
only man who had ever thrown dust in
his eyes. 1t seems that the work OF
sorting out diamonds in the rough is an
extremely long and arduous task. Each
stone has to be weighed, examined with
minute care and then valued, and the
process consumes a great deal of time.
1t is the custom to sell the output of the
diamond fields to the highest bidder,
and, as you probably know, the dia-
mond interests have all been consoli-
dated, and they are all under an iron
clad agreement that only so many
stones shall be sold in the course of any
one year. Rhodes made this plan years
ago to prevent overstocking the dia-
mond market, and so well has it worked
that it is to this day rigidly adhered to.
Well, to return to the story; after some
dickering Rhodes sold the years supply
of diamonds to Barnato. The stones
had of course been carefully sorted be-
fore Barnato bid and both sides were
well satisfied with the transaction.
bottle of champagne and a couple of
good cigars completed their joy in each
others society.
"Stories were being snapped, and the
two men were having a thoroughly
good time All at once Rhodes turned
to Barnato as though the idea had just
struck him. Barney said he, that
years yield of diamonds will fill q
bucket. Now, l don't believe anyone
ever heard of, much less ever saw, a
bucketful of diamonds. What say you
to filling q bucket with them and hav-
ing our pictures taken with the bucket
full of diamonds between us? All
right said the guileless Barnato,
bring on your bucket and your pho
tographer' The bucket was secured
and the picture duly taken. Then quoth
the guileful Rhodes, I thought, Bar
ney," you'd fail into that trap. I've got
a number of leftover stones to dispose
of, which it will take me about three
months to work off, and that, | opine,
is just about the time you will need to
resort and revalue those stones Bar
nato sat with his mouth open for few
minutes and then a twinkle came into
his eye as he got up and solemnly shook
Rhodes by the hand, but the only COM
ment he made was, We'll, I'll be-"

Robert Chambers is at work on a ro-
nance, the scene of which, unlike the
generality Of his books, will be laid in
this country. The period selected is
prior to the revolution.
Julian Ralph has been obliged to give
up newspaper work for the time, but
has found plenty of occupation in max
ing two books. The first one, now fin
ished, is called "At Pretoria" and is a
second collection of the letters he wrote
from the Transvaal war. The other
book upon which he is at work is a
compilation of the most interesting arti-
cles which were contributed to the
Friend that unique newspaper main
tanned by and for the British army on
the immediate field of war at Bloem-
fontein.
Johanna LobsenZ, in the New York
Times Saturday Review, makes a
strong argument for the old school
reader of our school days. And who of
us does not remember it? With its pic
lures and stories skillfully mixed in
with articles of general information as
to science, habits of animals, adven-
lures and so on. Much of that informa-
ton is to-day given to pupils in less at
tractive form, and consequently is not
retained in the memory. So this lady
hopes that the educational woodman
will spare our ''story readers" yet
awhile.
Maurice Hewlett, whose Richard
Yea-and-Nay" is one of the books of the
day, attributes much of his literary
bent and skill to his father, but speaks
indifferently of the influence of school
and college life. Most of his days were
given to reading and writing, and he
left Oxford without obtaining a scholar

The original of Miss Alcott's charac-
ter of Laurie, in Little Women" turns
out to be an American boy who lived in
Concord, was Miss Alcotts playmate,
and then moved out to Kansas. To this
boy in his Western home Miss Alcott
wrote regularly some of the most de-
lightful letters that ever came from
her pen, and in one of the last she ac-
knowledges to him that he is the orig
inal Laurie. These letters will soon be
published in book form. They will be
edited by Laurie himself, who is a sue
cessful and prominent lawyer in Kan
sas. The letters are said to give just
that insight into Miss Alcott's loving
character for which her admirers have
so long waited.

Embarrassing.

The ability of the small boy to rouse
discomfort in his elder sisters breast
has been the theme of more than one
story. Ten-yearold Ned had peculiar
talents in that direction, and in the
month or two before his sisters engage
ment he made many embarrassing
complications between her and the es-
Unable young man who at last sue
ceeded in winning her.
Ned was much interested in the en-
gagement, and very fond of his pros
pective brother-in-law One day he
was taken by the young man, who was
a lawyer, to a courtroom where a case
was on trial. Ned was allowed to re-
main only a short time, but he had an
excellent memory, and sundry phrases
remained in his mind and tickled his
fancy.
The next day he stood in the window,
and saw his future connection pass the
corner. Sticking his curly head out, he
called in clear, ringing tones, for the
benefit of all the neighbors, George
William Snow, come in to court"

The great earthquake that shook In

About six feet of the top was broken
