Excitement Commencement Night Over 4
Blaze That Didn't Materialize.

Considerable excitement was caused
at the close Of the commencement exer-
cises last Friday night by an alarm
which was turned in for what was sup
posed to be fire in Kivikangas 4 Kar-
vonen's store. George J. jackson, who
sleeps in the place built up fire in the
stove upon returning from the hall. The
stove smoked badly and some passers- by
thought they detected blaze and sent
in the alarm. Mr.. jackson endeavored to
let the crowd know that the stove was
smoking and that there was no cause for
alarm, but it was not before front win
dow light was broken in that it was
made plain that the store interior was
not in need OF the services of the depart
ment,

AT WAR OVER WATER.
Temporary Injunction viii Be Asked for by q
Number Of Ranchers.

The dry season in Carbon county has
resulted in the ranchmen along the
streams, more especially upon Red Lodge
and Rock creeks, to be almost at swords
points over water. The adjournment Of
court to the middle Of July without a
decision in the Red Lodge water right
case has left the ranchers along that
stream as much in the air as ever they
were, and those at the lower end Of the
creek complain that the waters are taken
out above them to such an extent that
their fields are parched for the lack Of
water. What is true of Red Lodge creek
is also true of Rock creek.
Ranchmen from along both streams
were in the city the first of the week
and their pl essence has resulted in appli-
cations to Judge Henry for temporary
injunctions asking that some redress be
above them. Seventeen Of these temper
airy iniunctions will be asked by those
interested in the Red Lodge creek water
right suit. Along Rock creek, ranchcrs
below Roberts will ask for temporary in
functions restraining the Finn Ditch
company and the Alkali Ditch company
from the use Of the quantity of water
they are now taking from Tie stream.
Arguments upon the temporary injunc-
tions Will bc heard by Judge Henry at
Livingston this month.

Reasons For n Divorce.

The Druses sometimes divorce their
wives for apparently the most trivial
causes. Thus a maj named SOleiman
Attala had a wife, ~1sbakyeh. The Wo-
man frequently worked for US, and on
several occasions l had to complain
that she talked too much and worked
too little. At length I was obliged to
tell Soleiman that owing to his wife's
laziness l could employ her no longer.
Shortly afterward L went to England.
On my return after a couple OF
months absence 1 was surprised to
find that Soleiman had divorced Isbak-
yeh and had already married another
woman. On inquiring from him the
cause Of this he replied, "Your honor
told me that you would not employ my
wife again, so 1 thought 1 would get
rid Of her and marry another woman
whom you would employ.

Hunkoing a Japnnese.

81. L. G." was only an enlisted man
mates called him 1.-The Swell' because
whenever he went ashore he carried a
suit Of civilians clothes. At YOko-
hama, in his fine raiment and q white
felt hat, he passed himself off to 4
Japanese coal merchant as the pay
master Of the fleet and contracted for
several thousand tons of coal. The
price named was $14 a ton.
What IS my rake Off" he asked the
dealer, who offered a generous commits
sion. Make the price sixteen dollars
a ton and have - thousand tons
ready for delivery at the earliest pos
sibIe hour tomorrow morning." he said.
The merchant opened wine, and
when thoroughly warmed up the sailor
remarked, looking indOlently at his
watch: by the bye, I'm expected to
visit the club tonight, and it is prob
able that | may need a little more
money than l have in my pocket. Per
hapS you had better advance me three
or four thousand dollars on account"
OF course he got what he wanted.
Next morning the vessels were sur
rounded with scores of barges laden
with coal, and it was all the officers
could do to prevent the Japs from I'M
loading their cargoes. The dealer dar-
ed say nothing, for he had entered into
a conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment, so he pocketed his loss in 81

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits.
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment IN it.
Back of the blood, is food,

Testing Strength of Engines.

A tonnage tester has been received by
the B. & NJ. from the Q for testing the
power of engines on grades on the lines
west of the Missouri river. The tester was
taken to Germantown, yesterday, where
it will be used in trains passing over the
hill. This tester is arranged in a car
which is coupled behind the engine, re-
ceiving the full strain caused by the
pulling of the locomotive and the resist
ance of the train. From the records
made engines will be rated for loading
in the future.
