of the company which is now being

The line will also be pushed on

and Rock Springs, with branches to
all the good farming and mineral
districts which lie between. Work
on this line is to begin at once, or
ders for the material having been sent

last night in the First National bank.
All the members present. Pres

The first matter brought up was
the report of the committee relating

for excavating for the south side
school building. A committee Of nine
men from the Building Trades coun-
Gil appeared before the board and
through its spokesman, Mr.. Girard,
asked that it reconsider its action
granting the contract to Mr.. Hager.
Mr.. Girard said that Mr.. Hager was
considered unfair by the labor union
and went into the history of the same.
He also asked that the board let the
contract to some one at thhe same
price as Mr.. Hager's bid, and who is
fair. The committee thereupon with
drew from the meeting. The board

MEMORIAL ADDRESS.
Odd Fellows Attended Services at
Congregational Church.

Sunday being Odd Fellows Memoir
ial day the members of the two
lodges in this city attended services
at the Congregational church In the
morning, where they were addressed
by the Rev. w. d. Clark. About Is
of the members were present, occupy
ing seats in the front Of the church.
Mr.. Clark took as his text ITO live
is Christ, to die is gain" He said in
part: while I expect to speak di-
rectly to the members Of this order,
nevertheless, I hope to make it profit
able for anyone who may hear. Every
year many names go on the memorial
roll. It is our duty-a beautiful duty
Ito stop in our busy career to pay
tribute to them. When we do many
thoughts fly through our minds. A
true life will be c~ontemplative as
well as active. So today we want to
think over these thoughts. |.
First. It means a life after death.
Those who are gone will live again.
There is nc voice in science or reason
that gives the slightest hint that VIC
shall not live after death; every voice
of hope, love and of faith gives me
abundant proof that there must be
a life after this life, and this voice
also gives as much evidence that
this future life will be a better life
than this.
Second. How long shall I wait
for that life? do not know, much
less do I care. I shall be with Christ
and that will be enough.
third. Shall l know my friends
in that other life? answer, yes.
1.-THE ancient belief of Greece was
that the souls of the departed return
ed to animate life. They had good
ground for their belief, for the in
fluence Of our friends animate us to-
day. This is your rule: That you
revere the memory of your dead.
what heaven is to be I do not
know; best perhaps | do not. It's
glories are untold, but if what we
think Of heaven is true, then it is
worth gaining. When I think Of it SO
sublime, and that it means the end
of all troubles and sorrows here, and
that the new life will be q more
abundant life, then l can understand
in part what he meant when He said
to die is gain"
In the afternoon at 2:3O the two
lodges met at the Williams hall and
marched to the edge of the city after
which they took conveyances and
went to the cemetery, where they
decorated the graves Of their depart
ed brothers.

The Local Ball Club Wins From Park
City.

City.
Sunday afternoon at the fair
grounds Manager Gillette's Red
Stockings took the initial game Of
the season on the local grounds from
Park City. After being showed UNI
der at Livingston, and making a fruit
less trip to Red Lodge, the local team
pulled itself together and defeated
the upper river husbandmen by IA
score of nine to six. The daily rain
scheduled for this locality failed to
m~ateralize, and for baseball purposes
the day was a most admirable ione.
The game was very neatly played
from START to finish, and spectators,
though not large in numbers were ap-
preciative.
Taylor was in the box for the locals
and ably demonstrated his ability to
tangle the movements of the sphere.
The visiting battery was very ef1-
Gent, and but few hits were record
ed on either side; two or three costly
errors being responsible for q large
portion of the runs The game was
finished in an hour and 40 minutes,
which is good time for amateur ball
in this country.
The visitors proved themselves to
be q very gentlemanly AGGREGATION OF
ball players, and accepted their de.
feat in . cheerful and graceful man
ner.
Next Sunday the Billings team will
probably cross bats with the Bozeman
opponents OF the national game.

And the birds were always singin', and
the lilies ever seemed
Like affairs bright to heaven, where the

The peace of God is with me forever

Here rest, We worn and weary, with red
thorns at the breast;
Here find, when life seems dreary, your
refuge and your rest
World-echoes faint and dying-we heard
glad notes arise
AS the sweet old songs of Zion went ring

And - the place around 1t a glory
seemed to win,
And earth was like heaven to go to

The glory seemed to greet us from the

And heaven came down to meet us and

No more we hear that singing in all life s.

The old paths are deserted-the old

But still it's mem, ry fingers, and ever shall
