bOSIOO WOOL
Boston, Aug. 16-The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow of
the wool trade:
Though it is not true that one-quar-
ter of the entire wool clip of Oregon
has been sold this week as rumOred,
there has nevertheless been a very
active week in Boston. Oregon wool
has sold freely at 14k cents clean for
round lots of clothing and combing.
The price is now 15h cents with many
holdings at 16 cents. Fine and coarse
woods have alike received attention.
Fine Nevada sold at 46 cents clean for
short wool early in the week, but the
sale could not now be duplicated.
Heavy sales OF braid wool at 1S and
1874 cents are reported. Prices tend
steadily upward.
The sales of goods show handsome
advance over last year and full sea

An advance of five cents per yard on
staple worsteds this week with the
second advance Of two cents per pound
on yarn has done much to help the

THE WOES OF BARBER.
Aversion in Two Directions Leads to
His Undoing.

HIS OndoIng.
Matt Barber went into the L. & L.
restaurant for his supper Saturday
evening and finding the place in
charge of a timid looking Chinaman
concluded he would not pay and at
tempted to leave without settling.
The Chinaman insisted upon getting
the price Of the meal and his remon-
strances having no effect, grabbed
Barber's hat and declared he would
hold it until paid. This angered the
whiteman and he picked up a chair
and began to lay about with it. He
landed on the "chink" several times
and for a time it looked as though he
would make good his threat of in
creasing the Celestial representation
in the world to come. Finally the
Chinaman managed to make himself
heard by passersby, among whom was
a policeman. The officer gathered
Barber in, but not until he had caused
his victims face and head to present
the appearance of having been run
over by a harrow and roller combined.
Yesterday morning Barber was
made to face the police magistrate
and the testimony of the complain
ing witness. together with his sorrow
full appearance convinced the judge
that the case was n requiring a
little more than the usual DISPOSE
ton and he accordingly fined Barber
$40. Not having the required amount
the defendant was turned over to
Street> Commissioner Keene.
Later Barber was taken onto the
streets and told he would have to
work. He rebelled and said he was
an old soldier and was constitutional
ly and irreyocably opposed to physi-
cal exertion Of any kind, and par
ticularly the kind then required of
him. AS he remained obdurate
to pleading and threats, he was
taken to the city jail and confined
in the dark cell, there to remain on
limited diet until such time as he
concludes to work or his sentence
expires.

of First avenue, north, for the pur-
pose of putting back the drain pipes
taken up at the time the stone cross
ing was put in, caused much comment
on the difference Of methods pursued
in doing public and private work.
Those who claimed to know how such
things should be done said that if
it had been an individual who was
compelled to defray the cost he would
have made the trench dug for the
crossing large enough in the first
place to accommodate both the
foundation for the stones and also the
pipes and thereby materially reduced
the expense, beside making a much
better job all around. AS none of
those who had anything to say con
corning the matter took an opposing
view the decision was in favor of the
affirmative.
After a somewhat lengthy absence
from the city the band of Cree Indians
that was accustomed to roam about
the eastern part of the state put in
its appearance again yesterday. Meth
er the refining influences of contact
with the people of Butte and Helena
nor the elevating effects of travel
seem to have left their mark on the
wanderers. They present the same
appearance of perpetual and %unrelent-
ing enmity toward the lavatory as of
ole and also manifest the same indif-
f. ice to the cut and material OF
garments that formed one of
characteristics before they start
it to broaden their views and &C.
3 knowledge of the world by a
3it to the city dumps that lie in the
ountry to the west. AS far as out
ward appearances go they are the
same democratic, unconventional lad
les and gentlemen they were when
first they introduced themselves to
the people of Billings.

SUNDAYS
Story of Carnage and Murder Briefly
Told,

There is much woe and bodily suf-
fering in the Belknap block. Bruises
and cuts galore also exist in the First
National bank block, but they are the
proud wounds of the vanquisher and
the recollections of the victory won
on Sundays ensanguined field lessen
the pangs of angry looking sores and
dlvest the visits Of the surgeon of
their customary attendant horror. The
battle fought between the contending
forces was one that will live long in
the memories of the participants and
on-lookers, for it was a CORY, grimly
waged contest and the casualty lists
published from the headquarters of
the c%ontending warriors show that
whatever degree of friendship may
have existed before the conflict or
may have been revived since. only
fierce determination to conquer or die
animated each manly breast while the
game lasted.
The play came up something like
this:
Several weeks ago some one ami
mated by murderous designs and who
represented the tenants of the bank
block issued a challenge to the oc-
cupants of the Belknap block to play
baseball. The bait was taken and
preparations for the fray began. Last
Sunday was the date selected for the
game and the band boys were told
that they would be made the bene-
ficiaries of whatever pecuniary re-
suits might accru after all expenses
had been paid. They accepted the
offer and were on hand when the
first inning was called and very ap-
propriately selected There's a Hot
Time in the Old Town as the open
ing overture, when the giants of the
bank block went to the bat, with
Robbins and Nix in the box.
Three runs were chalked up to the
credit of the bruisers when their
side was retired and the men from
the Belknap building picked up the
wagon pole. Lee Mains and Ruby
Holmes oficiated as the battery for
the bankers and just to lure them on
permitted the Belknappers to tie their
side in scoring. The second inning
saw the same batteries doing execu-
ton, but the cores were wide apart,
the Belknap sluggers having ten lit
tie black marks to their credit, while
the banker bruisers. had to content
themselves with only four as the
total so far.
In the third inning the Belknappers
went forth to slaughter and the way
they were hammered, slugged and
pounded drew signs of sorrow frou.
the onlookers. Fenno Deckert was
in the box for the bruisers and the
curves and twists he put into the
ball as it left his hand stunned the
other side and even Mascotte Lud-I
erman's magic powers were unatle
to be of assistance to his side. His
medicine had lost it's charms and
it's potency seemed to have taken
flight across the outfield and into the
wide, wide world. At all events, it
failed to work for the benefit of those
for whom it was exercised. But
further recital of this tale of carnage
would be cruel. The game finally
came to an end, much to the delight
of the men who were made its vic
Tins and the score stood 81 to Is.

An Arabic anecdote illustrative OF
the subtleness Of selfshness. which
enables 1t to glide into the heart Of a
saint. is told of the holy Mohammedan
Sakatl.
He said that for twenty years be had
never ceased imploring divine pardon
for having once exclaimed, praise be
to Godp On being asked the reason
for such persistent praying he answer
ed:
"a fire broke out in Bagdad, and a
person came to me and told me that
my shop had escaped, on which ut
tered those words, and even to this
moment l repent Of having said so, be-
cause It showed that wished better
