Holders of bounty claims filed since
December 20, last, will probably have
to wait some time before they can
get their cash from the state.
The state examining board, which
met at Helena last Monday,
among other claims allowed $1,000
due for bounty on the scalps of pred
atory animals, leaving balance OF
about $4,000 still unpaid. The claims
allowed included all that had been
registered up to and including De-
cember 30, 1901. 1t is believed none
of the outstanding claims can be paid
IN the immediate future, as the boun-
ty fund is about exhausted and very

They Had Him Sure Before Curtain
and Actor Went Down.
During the first year of my travels as
an actor I joined a troupe that was
presenting Shakespearean tragedy. We
senting Shakespearean tragedy. We
were playing in one of the provincial
cities of England when a new actor, an
inexperienced amateur, Joined the COM
pany and was assigned the role of
Catesby in which to make his debut in
the play of Richard the Third" Dur
ing the progress Of the piece one of his
new lines is after quick entrance adj
dressed to King Richard, and he says:
"My lord, the Duke of Buckingham
is taken!'
/ can remember that on the night o.
his first appearance he was frightfully
nervous and was anxious to proclaim
the fact that the Duke of Buckingham
was taken, as he had been practicing
and studying it for several weeks. The
result was that he got the wrong cue
and made his entrance before time.

"My lord. the Duke of Buckingham
is takenv'
Richard turned to him and in an un-
dertone said: sect off! Get off! You're
too soon."
The actor left the stage mortified and
more ''rattled" than ever, so that
scarcely was he in the wings before he
again made the same mistake and
again proclaimed that the Duke OF
Buckingham was taken. Richard turn
ed upon him for the second time and
told him to leave the stage. He also
whispered, Somebody take care of
that idiot and tell him when to make
his entrance"
The prompter grabbed the actor by
the hand and when the proper time
came said: "Now is your time. Tell
Richard he's taken"
The actor rushed upon the stage, hes
itated, looked at Richard and then in a
wild tone of voice exclaimed:

have him sure!

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SATURDAY, APRIL &c, 1902.
THE PAPER THAT CIRCULATES.

With the intention of insuring to
our advertisers a circulation which
would bring returns from their use
of printers ink In these columns, the
Bee has exerted many efforts, though
not every one in the past few months,
to increase the circulation of this
semi-weekly throughout the county es-
pecially. We do not claim every eff
fort, for we still have in reserve some
schemes which will be an aid in time
to come to further expansion of our
large and growing list
Since the first of the year the cir
culation of the Bee has been in
creased so per cent. We then claimed
a circulation greatly exceeding that
of all the other newspapers published
in Flathead county, and now we fear
lessly revise that contention and
claim, which is susceptible of proof
to our avertsers, that we turn from
our power press twice as many pa
pers as the combined offices of the
city of Kalispell.
AS before remarked, we have been
especially solicitous of securing a
county circulation, not passing up
any city subscribers, however so
mat at the present time there is not
post office in Flathead county which
is not visited regularly twice a week
by a bundle of Bees. These state
ments are incontrovertible and the
returns to our merchant advertisers
are appreciated to such an extent
that the Bee is able to demand far
better prices for it's advertising space
than it's competitors in this field. We
do not hesitate to hold our space
higher than the ordinary country pa
per for the reason that it costs the
Bee more to produce a paper than
any of it's competitors.
There is time and opportunity tc
further increase the value of the Bee
as an advertising medium, and with
some new plans in effect the midsum
mer may be as confidently looked for
ward to by our advertisers as by the
management.
The Bee is going to help the people
who are helping it, by giving then
better newspaper than ever The
fresh press dispatches on publication
day will be continued and increased
in scope, and more especial attention
will be devoted to local and count!
news. The third year of the Bee We
hope to make more memorable thai
the preceding years, and will reacl
three times the number of readers
we did at the beginning of 1902.

also be whitewashed by a similar
court, but the American people will
not acquit any administration that

American policy of benevolent as

clap, when the republican party, not
having put stop to these savage

One of the authorities on finance
in the country is Dun's Review, and
it says that the present good times
are hard times for two classes of peo-
ple-the millionaires and the clerks
on salaries. For the former, interest
is low, and for the latter the cost of
living is high, while their salaries re-
main stationary. The Review repre-
sents that in many lines of labor
wages have advanced, but not the
salaries of the clerks, which, in many
instances, are fixed by law.

Not only Helena, but Missoula as
well is rejoicing over the promise
which seems imminent of a battalion
of United States troops occupying the
army posts at those respective places.
The Twenty-first infantry is to be sta
toned in battalion at each of these
posts, and Fort Harrison is to be
regimental headquarters. This is
great for Missoula, which has prac-
tically been an abandoned post since
the fighting coons" marched away
to the war in the summer of '9S, and
the busy little garrison was much
missed in business, as we'll as social
circles.

There can be no question but that
the republican party will acknow-
ledge the trust issue as the great
feature of the coming congressional
campaign, and will endeavor to in a
measure obscure the Filipino war and
it's ravages with this issue. At
republican demonstration in Indianap-
oils the other day, Senator Beverage
made speech outlining the attitude
of the republican party to the trusts,
and extolling those same grasping
corporations to the sky, denominat-
ing them as protectors and friends of
the people rather than enemies and
oppressors. This declaration of prin-
ciples is considered as inspired and
text of the platform upon which the
republican party will stand before the
country at the national convention of

During next week "The Liberty Bellies"
Harry r. Smiths new musical comedy.
will be presented at the Providence Opera

dy that was ever constructed
Considerable notoriety attached 10 the
pink paJama girl. who makes her ap-
pearance i'm the first act and also 10 the
twenty-one other young women who wear
night robes In the same act, but the real
novelty OF the act Is, OF course, the scene
ana not the costumes. The dormitory Of
Young Women's Seminary, when peo-
pied by stage struck girls. allows OF an
easy Introduction of songs and specialties.
and the musical comedy gets fairly under
way with the girls still IN their beds. I'm
this act as I'm every other one IN the
piece, each character Is given lines TO
speak.
In fact the dialogue is foolishly furious
and almost incomprehensible, since Mr..
Smiths idea was TO fit his characters
with the ma tinee -idol-adorng character
istics Of the boarding school girl OF ic-
tion. So there is no chorus i'm this musical
comedy. The cast includes Harry Daven-
port, John Slavin. Harry Gllfoil Helen
Lucas. Pauline Chase. Crissie Carlysle.
Nellie aud Lizzie Mccoy, Marie Murphy,
Eta Butler, sandol Miliken. and other
Casino fsvorites. The second act takes
place In cooking school, and the third

and the strongest tribute TO us is that a
large proportion OF the Americans who
come over here, when they have had time
TO appreciate the conditions, and by be-

a strong sense OF justice and fair play,
and where he is treated with Justice and
fair play We believe he would be the last
person TO take advantage OF any future
condition of affairs to intrigue against

with justice and fair play.
Therefore, the best course for Canada
instead OF attempting obstruct and an
tagontze, Ia TO courageously accept the
situation and proceed to assimilate the
new elements that come among us For

country In which IL is invested so long

Canada would have would be her record
