A: MASONIC HALL
BUTTE MASONS WILL BUILD A
NEW HOME.
ARCHITECTS PLANS ADOPTED
Favored Design by Butte Firm Build
ing Will Cost $5o,OOo-Elaborate
Equipment Of the Interior-A Lively
Rush for the Contract-An I'm
posing Structure.

Some time ago the Masons of Butte de-
cided that the building they had been
planning on paper for many years must
materialize in brick and steel. 1t was to
be competitive affair, free for all
architects. The winner Of the first prize
to have his plans accepted, the accept
ance being the prize. The second prize
was 500, and the third $50. Link & Car
ter Of Butte were the fortunate VIM
ners of first, Bell & Kent of Helena TAX
ing second and another Butte architect
George DeSnell, the third. BY making it
a competitive affair the committee secur-
ed far better plans than by just handing
it over to an architect. There were nine
in the competition at first but six with
drew.
The cost will be about $50, 900, not more
and lesss if possible. 1t is to be four
stofies in height but Will be really about
the height of a five story Ablock as the
ceilings are to be twenty feet. There will
be also finely finished basement which
will be used for bowling alley and a
gymnasium, and a fine heating plant.
The ground floor will be devoted to a
large reception hall, library, secretaries
offikes, and a banquet hall with kitchen
and pantry in the rear.
The second food will be used by the
Blue lodge, the one on the top by the
KING hts Templar and other chapters. The
Eastern Star will probably be quartered
there also.
A feature will be the elaborate venti-
lating plant. The entrance is to be
very deeply recessed and a most impos-
ing affair. The steps will be of marble
and the windows of stained glass of hand
some design. The hall floors will be
handsomely tiled. The floors will be
hardwood. AT the entrance will be
series of arches, five in all. and each one
representing a different style of archi-

TIME OF PRESIDENTS
ARRIVAL IN BUTTE

The executive committee having
in charge the details for the re-
ception of President Mckinley met
last night, but very little was ac-
complished, as the programme
committee did not present it's re-
port Until it does so, the sub
committees cannot get to work On
the arrangements. The programme
committee has had a number OF
rustlers added to it. and the report
will probably be made tonight at
the meeting in the rooms of the
Business Mems association. The
new members of the programme
committee are Ex-Governor Rick
ards. Col. Byron Cook and Alder
man E. l.. Mayor.
The women who will be placed
on the reception committee have
not yet been named. This matter
Is in the hands of Judge Speer ana
Mrs. +. w. Buzzo. The report will
probably be made in a day or two.
The meeting Of the general com.
mittee was we'll attended last nigh.,
d. ]. Hennessy presiding. The re-
port Of William Horgan, stating
that Miles Finlen would furnish
the banquet, was received with ap>
plause. Mr.. Finlen has given them
carte blanche as to the menu. The
committee on transportation re-
ported the securing of carriages \.
a reasonable cost. The subject OF
decorations was discussed, also the
question of an arch of welcome. It
was finally decided to let the pro-
gramme committee and the COM
mittee on decorations decide the
question of all decorations. It il
certain that nearly all the bushes,
men will be patriotic enough to
decorate their own buildings.
The committee on souvenirs re-
ported that an artist was working
on designs and had telegraphed
east for bids.
n Mayor Mccarthy received a letter
Nfrom Secretary Cortelyou which
formally acknowledges the receipt

ROBBED OLD MAN
KNOCKED DOWN AND RELIEVED
OF HIS WATCH LAST NIGHT.
TWO SUSPECTS ARE IN JAIL
They Assert Their Innocence and the
Victim Refuses to Prosecute
Wrapped Coat About His Head
One Was a Member Of the Mon
tana Regiment.

There was a time when Charles Kerr
wore the blue garb Of a military hero
and shared the honor and praise accord
ed those of Uncle Sans men who pea-
formed valorous feats under the stars
and Stripes In the far-away hilippines.
Today that same lad stands behind a
row of iron bars in the city Jail ami
peers longingly in the direction of tn.
stairway down which pours the SUM-
shine of freedom, while an ugly charge
of highway robbery rests against his
name in the prison register.
From the tale told the police by ex-
Constable Shields, it appears that Kerr.
who has been attending bar at Malloy o
saloon, in South Butte, and companion,
w. S. Jones, who is employed at the Nj.
o. P. smelter, knocked an aged man
down last night about $50 o'clock an.

Shields arrived on the scene. Shields in
terfered and received pretty rough treat
ment himself.
Il had just reached the corner of
Wyoming street ad a small alley, near
Mullins warehouse" said Shields, when
I saw Kerr knock an old man down.
Jones threw coat over the victims
head and the two We're rifling his pockets
when walked up and asked them what
was tn trouble. They told me they
were trying to take him home. When l
asked him what they had struck him
for, they both attacked me and 1 had
hard time fighting them off. but they
finally ran away. The old man told me
his name was H. Rinckel and that he
lived at 1925 Wyoming street. While TAX
ing him home l inquired what was the
time and when he looked for his watch
it was COVE. Then l went to police head
quarters nd told them what had hap
pened."

In narrating the frontier experiences
Of "The First White Baby Born In the
Northwest" in The Ladies Home Jour-
nal W. s. Harwood tells OF queer ex-
perience that befell the family in the
first year after settling on farm far
removed from the settlements.
The winter had been unusually long
and severe, and their stock of provi-
sions ran low. 1t was long distance to
the nearest base Of supplies, and COM
munication with the outside world had
been cut off. Indians in the neighbor-
hood one night broke into the granary
where the wheat was stored and stole
a quantity. In doing this large
amount of broken glass became mixed
with the wheat which the Indians left.
so for many days, amid much merry
story telling and many a joke and
the family gathered about Il large table
IN their living room and spent the
short will1er days picking over the
wheat. kernel by kernel, in order to
free it from the pieces of glass.
For this wheat stood between them
and starvation. and none of its pre-
cious kernels must be lost. Their stock
of -four had long since wasted away,
as had most Of their food supplies. so
they boiled and ate the wheat without
grinding. Relief reached them just in
time to prevent sad ending to the eN-
npripnce

bold as we'll as pious. When he heard
that his friend five miles away was

made a dash at it. He was greatly eX-

He thought we We're tricking him. but
