Last evening Maguire's Grand Opera

the United Moderns who had assembled
to greet u. NJ. Johnson, their supreme

After making few preliminary re-
marks Mr.. Johnson said IL gave him
great pleasure to meet so many members
OF the order and others who had be-
come Interested I'm the organization and
had come To hear what he had to say.
TO the latter he paid particular atten-
ton, saying, among other things:
Is Young Order.
u am not unmindful that when one Of
our members approaches you with an in
yitaton to join us there may be a feel
ing that there IL an intrusion, but when
there Is vacant chair In the home, then
the true meaning of our work Is seen.
When you become a member OF an order
pathy and fraternity and when the kind
words are spoken It starts ripple of
tender sentiment like pebble thrown
into placid pool.
Every fraterna lorder, those of the
beneficiary class, have the same object,
to pay certain sum of money upon the
death OF member. Yet there Is diff
ference, and 1t is due to the individual
plans of the order.
United Moderns, being organized for
only few years, after we had the ben

and an opportunity to profit by mistakes
made, stand In an advantageous posi-
ton"
Mr.. Johnson then demonstrated by
charts that the rate Of insurance In the
beneficiary body and that 1t had large

The ceremony OF presenting the prize

acted. This lodge Is the largest in the
order and Is also the largest In the state
of any description. 1t has 1900 members
enrolled, and Is still growing.
Mr.. Johnson stated, in presenting the
banner to IT. Harrington on behalf of

CASE NOT PROVED
DEFENDANT WINS OUT IN SUIT
OVER $1,000.
ROAD MACHINERY INVOLVED
Michael Jennings Gets Judgment
Against G. w. Hartman, Who Sued.
Him to Recover Value Of Road
Scraping Tools.

In>the suit of G. w. Hartman against
of road -scraping outfit, tried in Judge
Harneys court yesterday, judgment was
rendered in favor of the defendant for
his costs.
Hartman and Jennings were in the ex-
cavating and oad-scraping business as
partners, and when they severed the
partnership in 1900 there was an agree
ment between them that Jennings should
have all the firm property. He took one
set of road scraping machinery and har-
ness and horses which Hartman alleged
were nominated in the bond, and which
Hartman said belonged to the firm of
Hartman & Johnson, in which he was
interested.
The suit was brought to get back the
value of this property. The court thought
that Hartman failed to prove his case.

In the damage suit brought by Robert
Dempsey against the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company for injuries received at
the Nipper mine, the defendant has filed
an answer to the effect that It WIS rot
mining at the Nipper mine in 1900 when
the accident happened and that it had
not employed Dempsey at all.
Charles Suiter, one of the defendants in
the suit of James Riddell against G. Il.
Ramsey and others, has filed an answer
In which he says that he has gone
through bankruptcy since the suit was
filed against him and therefore Is not
liable for the claim sued on. He asks
for his discharge and costs.

PLACE OF BEAUTY
COLUMBIA GARDENS WILL BE A
JOY FOREVER.
PREPARING FOR THE OPENING
Will Take Place in May as Usual if
Nothing Prevents-League Baseball
and Other Sports There-Tm-
mense Improvements.

Several blades of grass will grow at
Columbia Gardens this year where but
one has grown before. That Is the prop
osition on which Manager Wharton
proposes to improve the place. The mat
ter of opening the resort is receiving the
consideration of the management. The
customary time for the opening of the
celebrated beauty spot Is May 1. This
year the gardens will open at the usual
time unless the weather god casts the
tail end of an otherwqise fine winter upon
this section about that time, which Is
not anticipated.
The spring opening at the gardens this
year will be glorious cataclysm of ma
ture. The gardens were beautiful last
summer, but they were not a patch then
to what they will be this year. Sports
are in the wind in connection with the
pleasure resort this year.
An Athletic Field.
League baseball grounds, and nothing
less. are what the management has in
Its eye now. That Is not all. There will
also be tennis courts, croquet. grounds.
hand ball and other means of amusement
heretofore absent.
Since the closing of the gardens last
fall the grounds have been cleared off,
extended and drained of water, and the
10 acres at the east end will be leveled
for the ball grounds and the other sports.
The pleasure this addition Will bring
within the reach of the public Is hard to
measure.
The new steps toward beautifying the
gardens will be on a grand scale. The
management will plant 1900 new trees.
These trees will come from Missoula
Two thousand were planted last year.
There are 10000 plants i'm the hothouses
now ready for transplanting in the
flower beds of the gardens. Maybe they
won't make the place shine! If the gar
dens are not a JOY forever this year it
will be surprising.
The arbor culture at the gardens has
recently been placed in the hands of
Charles Wilson of the experiment station
at Bozeman, and his 20 years of expert
ence in the business promises to make
the improvements at the gardens this
year notable.

The most pronounced bear on real

The most pronounced bear on real estate now in the public eye is Dr.
 George H. Bean of Lon THE don. As a prophet Of WET TIME wholesale disaster, Dr. COMING. Bean evidently proposes
 to have no rivals. We are in receipt of his Chart for Reckon ing Time" a pamphlet made up of prophecies. remarks on astronomy and geology, and astronomical calculations and tables. The work is from the press of R. E. Thomas 6 Co.,. printers. q White street, London. and at the top of the title page it bears in bold black and red type this statement and pro phecy:
 The Twentieth century will dawn on the 18th of December, 19O1 which will be the 1st of January, corrected time, that is to say, on April 19. 1902. Between April and that date. Western Europe, Western Asia and that portion of the United States of America that is south of line connecting the southwest cor ner of Connecticut with Fl Paso, Tex, will be swallowed up by the ocean.
 The text opens with a lengthy quo tation from the writings of Hugh Miller on the old red sandstone of Eng land and Scotland and the fossils found therein, showing that the region de- scribed was for long time submerged. Then follow quotations from Prof. Proctor and Sir John Herschel, with some Of Dr. Beans charts. in support of the contention that Pope Gregory, the ancients, and everybody else, have not calculated the solar year correctly, from all of which the doctor reaches the conclusion that the year 1902 will actu- ally begin on the 18th Of April next.
 It is pointed out that the Galveston flood, the Boer war, the death of Queen Victoria, the assassination of President Mckinley, the execution of the Boer commandants, Scheepers and Lotter, President Roosevelt's reception of the Boer delegates, Vessels and Wolmar- ems, on March ,, and Lord Methuens defeat on the Eth of this month, were all in literal fulfil1nent of biblical pro- pilCN4Co ctNNOIullI5 tO tie ioCSAil letp4-7- The pamphlet closes with this ex- planation and prediction:
 The mean density Of the earth is five times greater than that of water. Ice forms at the poles of the earth, very much predominating a the southern pole, which causes the earth's center of gravity to move approximately in that direction; this process continues for centuries until Q sufficient quantity of matter, composing the members of the solar system, congregates on one side of the world to cause by the force of gravitation a readjustment Of the earth's center Of gravity to that of the world, resulting in the submergence of a portion of the earth's surface. The situation Of the planets, the Bible and buried cities, the fossils and geological formations tell when and where it last took place as well as when and where it may be expected again.

continent of Europe, and, taking in Western Europe with Western Asia, re turning by the Mediterranean sea, the Atlantic ocean and Gulf of Mexico to the place of beginning indicates the portion that will next be swallowed up by the ocean.
 On April 6, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Sun and Moon will be on one side of the world, and a submergence of Western Europe, Western Asia and the southern section of the United States of America includ- ing Texas will begin, and will be com pleted in thirteen days when the moon arrives again on the equator. or on April 19. 1902 (January l, 1901, cor rected time).
 Why pr. Beams important production has been forwarded damp from the London press to The Republican we cannot guess, unless because it is gen orally known that this paper has de voted a great deal of space to an earn est discussion of the problem of irri- gation. If Fl Paso is submerged we shall have a seaport right at Arizona s eastern border.
