he Cork Tree.

Some children fancy that corks grow out of bottles instead of boing made of the bark of a tree which grows in Italy, Spain and other southern coun- tries. The cork tree is an evergreen about the size of our apple tree The bark is stripped in order to obtain the cork, which is soaked and then dried. The moment the bark is peeled off, the tree begins to grow another cork skin, and each new one is better than the last, so the older the better the cork The trees are stripped about every eight years, and so strong does it make them that they often live to the age of 200 years Besides it's chief use as st0ppers for bottles, cork is made into buoys; in making llfe-pre- servers to save people from drowning, soles of boots and slippers, fancy rock work, largely for hfeboats, and some- times for artificial limbs. After the bark is stripped off. it is trimmed and dried and fiattened out Then it is packed and shipped to all parts of the world.
 Incentive to Good Roads.
 X natural effect of the free delivery system is the improvement of high ways throughout the country. In To- eating free delivery routes the condi- ti0n of the roads is always an impor- tant consideration. and many petitions have been denied on the ground that the highways were not fit for travel during the muddy months of the year. This point is HOW understood, and nearly every petition that comes to the department these days is accom- panied by an offer or a pledge on the part of the county commissioners to improve the roads and put them in fit condition as rapidly as the new system is established

that she could take a bottle of the
remedy and after giving it a fair trial
if she did not find it worth the money
to bring back the bottle and I would

From Sundays Daily Gazette.
A Helena gentleman who passed
through the city yesterday said that
the recent l%ynching there was still

general subject of conversation.
While without almost exception the
fact was deplored that a mob had
been formed and the law cheated out
of it's just dues, he said, the express
sions yer more. in the nature of an
abstract view, as nobody could be
found who considered that Brady got
more than his just deserts. He fur.

had not been made public, as they
were so revolving as to make publ
cation of them utterly impossible.
Questioned as to the likelihood OF
anybody being punished for compile.
ity in the lynching, he said it was
exceedingly doubtful, judging from
the testimony adduced at the inquest
In conclusion the gentleman stated
that the efforts making by the courts

sentiment, as the feeling vas all on
the side of the lynchers.

LAST OF SERIES.
Mrs. Bouton Gives Second of Her

Mrs. Bouton Gives Second of Her
kensington Parties.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The last of a series of two charm
ing parties was given yesterday af-
ternoon by Mrs. T. J.. Bouton. While
the past week has been unusually gay
socially, none of the events has been
more enjoyable than that of yester-
day, which, like it's predecessor, was
perfect in every detail, the decora-
lions and appointments being very
beautiful.
The floral decorations were most
elaborate, and in keeping with the
season of the year. In the drawing
room the color design was red and
numerous bowls of dark, red roses
were used to produce it. Jardineres
filled with palms and dropping feath-
cry ferns, were arranged in every
available nook, and gave to the entire
surroundings a most pleasing effect.
The dining room was in yellow, and
the flowers consisted of peoples and
nasturtiums in their many shades,
which were effectively arranged on
sideboard and table. Vari-colored
sweet peas were used in great pro-
fusion in the other rooms, transform
ing them into veritable bowers of
the seasons choicest blossom, which
the chilling frosts have been kind
enough to pass by in their rounds
in this vicinity.
This, like the party of Tuesday,
was a Kensington, and for genuine
sociability there is nothing more con-
ducive, for never do ladies converse
more ~luently than when they busily
ply their needles.
At 5 o'clock all were seated at
small tables, which were covered with
the following re freshments, which
were both dainty and delectable:
Lemon sherbet, ice cream, cake and
coffee.
The hostess "a assisted in caring
for her guests by Mesdames Henry

hostess hospitality were: Mesdames

able to Bankrupt.
An amended order has been made
by Referee Firth in the matter of the
bankruptcy proceedings of the late
firm of McIntire & Middleton of
Miles City. In the first report of the
trustee he made. it appear that the
homestead of McIntire was of the
value of $500 and listed it as ex-
and ordered it to be classed among
the personal assets of the bankrupt
and subject to disposition for the
benefit Of the creditors. Since then
the trustee has made a supplement
tary report showing that his original
appraisement of the property was too
high and that it's actual value is not
in excess of $4,000. AS the second re-
port is borne out by satisfactory
order and allows the exemption.
The first dividend in favor of the
creditors of the firm has been declar'
ed and paid. Mr.. Firth has signed
and mailed checks aggregating $4,000
to various parties having claims
| against the bankrupts. In addition
he has about $1,000 on hand, rep
%resenting the aggregate of the claims
over payment Of which a contest ex
lists and which he is withholding until
the matter of their payment shall be
finally settled. .....

leave the country. He left, but loon
returned, only to take the place Of the
man whom he had killed. He not
only filled the place to the satisfac-
ton of everybody, but AIDED a few
frills overlooked by the original bad
man, such as shooting the hats off
pasersby, compelling men to dance
for his pleasure and INDUCING in
other like pleasantries. At last he
crossed over to the other side and
n night killed a harmless young
pilgrim. He left at once and went
back to Fort Pierre, knowing that if
he remained something would happen.
Not long after he and a crowd of
other hard citizens came back, but
they were run ont and told that if
they ever returned somebody would
be killed. The next day the Missouri
froze over hard enough to make it
safe for pedestrians to cross on the
ice.
THAT night he and his gang came
back and took possession of a dance
house in Missouri venue, a street
facing the river. They had been there
but a short time when the word was
passed around that sArkansaw' was
in town and defying the people to get
him out. 1t did not take long for a
band Of determined citizens - or

place was surrounded and in a few
minutes afterward a man vas cen
to come out. 1t happened that it
was not 'Arkansaw' but a friend of
his, against whom nothing in par.
ticular existed, except that he kept
poor company. He was escorted away
so as not to be able to give the alarm
and the rest Of the crowd waited.
Presently some one else was seen to
come out and in response to questions
announced that he was 'Arkansaw' and
with an oath and impolite reference

and hearing no stir, a few of the more
venturesome in the party crawled To
where 'Arkansaw' was supposed tc
be found him dead-fairly riddled
with bullets. A revolver was grasped
in one of his hands, while his second
pistol lay by his side, showing that
he had intended to make a fight, but
the other fellows had been too quick
for him.
"The body was carried into the
dance house and by actual count il

Difficulties Of Bridge Building Across
the Yellowstone,

For the present active work along
the line Of actual construction has
been suspended on the new county
bridge across the Yellowstone.
A few days ago The Gazette made
mention of the fact that much difficult
ty was experienced by the contractor
in placing the caisons for the piers,
owing to the great volume of water
which vas forcing itself into them
from the bottom. After repeated
trials the pump employed was found
unequal to the work required of it
and a new tack is being pursued. A
graphing arrangement has been con-
structed and efforts are now making
to clear the bottom of the river of
the boulders which have accumulated
at the point selected for the piers,
the intention being to secure a clear
bottom and and then lower the Gals
n to what is practically the bed
rock. If this can be accomplished
it is believed that the tubes can be
sunk and kept free of water by means
of the pump.
The difficulty under which the
builder is laboring can be easily COM
pretended when it is stated that the
water at the place selected for the
bridge is IL feet deep at the present
low stage and exceedingly swift,
while the deposit of boulders is not
less than six feet, making in sub
stance II feet of the hardest kind of
obstruction that must be overcome
before the tubes a be placed in
position. What is accepted as the
bedrock of the stream is in reality
only a crust of soft rock. several feet
in thickness, the real bedrock being
underneath and covered by a thick
stratum of clay. When the c~aisons
shall have been anchored piles will
be driven through the false bedrock
and to the real bedrock further down.
II the graphing process proves un-
