From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
This morning Sheriff Hubbard re-
prisoners confined in the county Jail
informing him of the fact that they
have organized a Kangaroo court,
subject to his approval. The letter
sets forth that the purpose of the
court is to maintain order in the
jail, prevent the commission of petty
misdemeanors and to enforce good be-
havior and due regard for cleanliness.
The men presenting the request for
permission to conduct the time hon
cred institution of all prisons are kept
in the lower tier of cells and it seems
that they want to protect themselves
against the fellows in the upper tier.
The latter are not possessed of the
Clearly habits of the jewellers on the
ground floor, who believe that if al
lowed to provide rules and regulations
and given authority to enforce them
they can elevate the morale of the
institution and also increase their
bodily comfort and welfare.
The officers Of the "court" whom
Mr.. Hubbard is petitioned to confirm
are: Sheriff, J. H. Steele; under sher-
if, I. l.. Buckley; judge, James Perk-
ms; prosecuting attorney, George
Flemming; clerk, Pat Roark; bailiff,
John W. Smedley.

INFORMATION FILED CHARGING
MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE.
ACCUSED TAKEN TO MILES
Many Offer to Sign Bonds for Appear

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
A coroner's jury at Forsyth yester-
day was convened to inquire into the
shooting of "Black" Perry on the
Grow reservation last Saturday AFT
ternoon by James R. Haynie, range
foreman for the Hysham Cattle com
pany. The jury found that Perry
came to his death by a gun fired by
the hands of Haynie. After the jury
rendered the verdict the county at
torney of Rosebud county filed an in
formation against Haynie, charging
him with murder in the first degree.
Pending a preliminary examination
the accused was taken to Miles City
where he was given over to the GUS
tody of the sheriff of Custer county.
Immediately after Haynie vas plac-
ed under arrest on the charge of MUIR
der al half dozen or more of his
friends offered to appear on bonds
for his appearance in almost any sum-,
but as the information charged first
degree murder the case is not bailable
under the law.
The preliminary hearing will take
place at Forsyth next Tuesday and
the friends of Haynie predict that he
will have no difficulty in establishing
the fact that he killed Perry in self
defense.
It is related by a friend of Haynie,
who vas ait Forsyth yesterday, that
when the news of the killing became
known at Forsyth last Saturday, SYM
pathizers of Perry made some very
ugly threats against Haynie, but
these came to their senses when it
was made known that Perry was the
aggressor.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Postoffice Clerk Swanson, who
stands charged with looting the Unit
ed States mails for apparently no 9TH
er reason than to vent his spite on
other employees of the local office, has
given bonds for his appearance at a
preliminary hearing in the sum of
$1,000. His bondsmen are Austin
North and w. H. Mccormick and they
are secured by property owned by
Swanson.
Sentiment in the community is rath-
er against Swanson and unless he car
show some good reason why the let
tiers were placed in his trunk without
deliberately intending to commit rob
berry he will likely be held to the cir
cult federal court for trial.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
A marriage service was performed
last night by the Rev. Clark at the
Driscoll hotel which united w. c.
Howard and Marguerite knight.
For a time 1T seemed as though the
statute Of the state would prevent two
loving hearts from beating as one.
In getting the necessary permit from
the clerk of the court the brides age
was given at II. According to law
relating to such matters it is COM
pulsory for the official granting the
license to- have a sworn statement
from parent or guardian authorizing
marriage before a license can be is
sued. Miss knights mother died some
eight years ago and her father was
such a distance away that it was i'm
possible to reach him without many
days delay. The clerk finally granted
the license when Miss Knight made
an affidavit to the effect that for six
years past she had supported herself
without any assistance from her liv-
ing parent and had been her own
guardian in all matters.
Accompanied ny the best wishes Of
their friends Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
departed on last nights west bound
train for Bozeman, where they will
make their future horae.

WOMAN'S WORK
To the Sharp-Tongued

When YOU have used a sarcastic tone,
And wounded another heart
With cruel lash in your accents

Don't boast of your brilliant part.
But HE to the slums where the
vicious herd,
And humble your pride to hear
How savage and brutal the spoken
word
May fall on the helpless ear.
Then weep in your shame as you
recognize
The kindred spirits below,
And pray for the grace to be like
the wise
Who take ere they give a blow.

into the world to carve out a career
for themselves, no matter how sue
cessful they may be, are often heart
sick and lonely, because they miss so
much of the soul-satisfying happi-

Mysteries of Calculating.

In making cake, if you wish to in
sure its being good, you must use
only the best ingredients, be accurate
in your measurements and follow the
rule implicitly. Use a wooden spoon
for mixing, and always mix the bat
ter in an earthen dish. Metal, either
in mixing-bowl or spoon, is apt to
destroy the delicacy of the cake.
\ \ Butter that has the least
unpleasant taste will develop greater
unpleasantness when cooked, and
spoil the article of food into which
it has been put. Baking powder,
cream of tartar and soda should be
added to the sifted -four, and the
whole passed again through the
sieve. e Flour should be sifted before
it is measured. Unless contrary di-
rections are given in the rule which
you are using, the whites and yoIks
of the eggs should be beaten sepa-
rately. The best sugar to use in
cake-making is the fine granulated.
The coarser sugar makes the cake
coarse also, and with a tendency to
heaviness.
So much for the ingredients now
for the way in which they are put
together. Cream the butter first of
all; have the mixing-bowl warm, as
that will help soften the butter and
get it in a condition to beat. When
it is light and creamy add the sugar,
beating it thoroughly in. Then put
in the f~avoring or spices, then beat
in the yolks of the eggs, which you
have whisked well, so that they are
light and smooth, next add the milk,
then the -four, and last of all the
well-beaten whites of the eggs. Beat
vigorously for half a minute.
When you start to make cake you
want to make sure that your wen is
right for the baking, and hat there
is sufficient coal in the fire to last
through. Butter your c~ake-pans,
and line them with thin paper. The
heat should be moderate, and care
should be taken to keep the cake
from. being Jared, else it will he
heavy. After the cake is baked it
is better to let it partially cool in
the pans, especially if it is a very
delicate cake.-July Woman's Home
Companion.

Asheville Citizen: News from the

the effect that the farmers are this

Woman and Home.

The great any crying need of hui
manity to-day is for the broad, intel
lectual and progressive woman as a
home-maker. And in no other place
in the wide world is the influence of
such a woman SO potent for good as
in her own home and in her posi-
ton as wife and mother and home
maker.
Then who shall say that intellec-
tual ability or refined and cultured
womanhood is either restricted or
degraded by the duties of house
keeping and home-making?
There must be some faint of inner
ent vulgarity about the person who
considers household labor a drudg-
cry. The cooking and dish-washing,
the sweeping and busting, the max
inN and mending are all but the
means to the end of maintaining a
comfortable home and home life, and
home is the haven to which all hu-
mainly turns for peace and JOY and
comfort and happiness.
1t is a good thing and a great
thing and a blessed thing to be the
maker of such a home. And woman
may, if she will, do all these things;
the seemingly trifing household du-
ties, yet the things which are al
ways so essential to the comfort of
the household, and yet find time
through reading and study to keep
in touch with the outside world and
develop a broad and gracious woman
hood.
And it is to the many dear women
wac, standing upon the threshold of
their own quiet, peaceful homes to-
day, look longingly forth at what
seems to them the broader fields and
higher planes of womanhood, that l
would say, it is never a privilege,
but a misfortune, for a to be
obliged to go out into the world to
gain a place and position by which
she may earn her own livelihood.
And there is no JOY SO sweet and
sacred as the JOY of domestic life,
and no higher calling than the rear
ing of men and women capable of
thought and action, and worthy to
make the future history of our be-

Washington. Nov. 12.-There is some indul-
gence just now in Washington in academic spec
ulation the desirability of having a Speaker
Of the House who shall not dominate that body.
but shall act impartially the Vice-Presi-
dent exercises his office in the Senate. or rather.
as the Speaker of the English House of Com
mons discharges his duties. This gossip, which
is calculated TO operate against the candidates.
of Messrs. Cannon, DalzeH. Babcock and other
strong partisans. although it is not likely to-
cause them alarm. is founded on the idea that
anybody can get into the contest for the Speak
ership of the House of Representatives. so far
as the restrictions of the constitution of the
United States in relation to that office are
cerned. In fact. there is nothing except custom.
which has prevailed from the beginning of the
government to suggest that a member of the
House s}ould be its Speaker The constitution
provides that the House of Representatives
shall choose their Speaker and other officers"
The House always elects a former member as
its clerk, and it is said that there is nothing but
precedent to prevent the LVIIIth Congress from
choosing ex-Speaker. Henderson or ex-Speaker
Reed or anybody else as its Speaker if it so
chooses
The constitution made provision for the Sen
ate that its presiding officer should be an
outsider, with absolutely no authority as a
| member of that body beyond his duties as such
except IN case OF Tie vote, WneH he mas tue ue-
Gliding voice. The presiding officer of the Sen

dent. confines himself TO parliamentary rulings.
He has nothing to do with the appointment of
committees, and when he designateS Senator
for any duty he does so in a perfunctory way.
the name and purpose OF the designation hav-
ing been placed in his hand without consulting
with him. In the of d president pro
tempore of the Senate the selection is made
from among the members of that body, and the
Senator does not. of course, lose any privilege.
But the Speaker of the House has from the for
nation of that body been chosen from among
its members. and from time to time the author
ity of the Speaker has been enlarged until he
has grown to be autocrat. Every House
adopts rules of its own, and there is nothing TO
prevent the next House from providing code
under which its presiding officer will be merely
the servant of the majority, with no control over
legislation. But no one seriously thinks for a
moment that the House will do anything of the
sort or that there will be any marked departure
from the procedure of recent years.
