Board Of Education Takes Action On
Compulsory Education Law.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
After waiting a reasonable time to
see whether parents and guardians
would show any inclination to comply
with the compulsory education law
and send the children of school age
under their charge to school Tor the
period prescribed by the law, and find
ing that some Of them manifest no in
tention of doing so the board of eHu-
cation has decided to take the neccs-
sary steps to secure compliance vita
the law. This was agreed upon at an
adjourned meeting of the board held
Thursday night.
A form of notice to be sent to de-
linquents was adopted and submitted
to the county attorney, who held it
to be worded in accordance with the
law and as Don as possible printed
copies will be sent to all guardians
and parents of the district who have

school. Failure to regard the notice
will be followed by legal proceedings.
The board found it necessary to
employ another teacher and accepted
the APPLICATION of Mrs. Ella McCray of
McGregor, Ia, who is highly recon-
Bonded.
Owing to the demand for increased
seating capacity which m from all
the schools, the board directed the
purchase of SO additional seats.
Action was taken in the matter Of
temporarily settling the difficulty
which has existed in reference to the
recently purchased lots on the south

Plight In Which Bondsmen Of Banta
Find Themselves.

Plight In Which Bondsmen Of Banta
Find Themselves.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
1t is very likely that the son of A.
j Banta will succeed in having his
father placed in Jail pending further
action in his case.
AS previously published in The Ga
zette young Banta and the other mem
bers of the family say they believe
the old man to be insane and have en-
deavored to induce the county attor-
ney to institute insanity proceedings
against him. The refusal of Mr.. Hath
horn to do this SO long as the alleged
insane man was out on bonds has
caused a new turn of affairs. The
bondsmen of Banta have been asked
to withdraw as his sureties in order
that he might be placed in confine-
ment, the family protesting to be-
lieve that he is a dangerous man to be
permitted to remain at large.
After c%ounseling together the bonds.
men decided to write to the. federal
in regard to the name
in which they would have to proceed,
should they decide to surrender the
man. Yesterday Austin North, n of
the sureties, received a. reply to the
inquiry and was told that it would be
the duty of the bondsmen to deliver
Banta into the custody of the marshal
at Helena. This is taken as meaning
that the sureties would have to defray
all the expense attached to Banta's
delivery at that place.
No decision was arrived at by the
bondsmen as to what they will do.

PERFEcrtNG THE RECORDS.
Livestock Brands Of State Compiling
F.. u In New Form.

Clyde Smith, deputy register of
marks and brands, has just entered
upon a piece Of work which insures
him enough to keep busy with for
many days to come, if there were not
already enough to require his atten-
ton in the busy Office of w. G. Preu-
lit, secretary of the Montant Stock
growers association and state record
er of brands.
The especial work now on hand Is
the transfer from the old to a new
and complete set of books of all the
10, 900 brands which have been adopt
| ed by stockmen and are now on rec
ord in the state. When completed it
will be one of the most complete rec
ords of it's kind in existence anywhere.
| Some idea of the extent of the work
may be gained from the fact that the
brands, when transferred, will fill be-
tween 1900 and 1000 pages.
The most of the work is done with
a book typewriter and is neat as could
be executed in print. In this manner
the date of the adoption and record
ing Of the brand is entered, together
with the name and location of the
owner and his range, says the Great
Falls Tribune. Then at the left hand
side of this record, where a wide mar
gin is left for the purpose, the brand
itself is drawn in red ink, exactly as
it appears or the glossy sides of the
fat steers wandering at will on the
grassy plains of the Treasure state.
A perusal of the old record books is
almost as good as a brief history of
the early Montana judiciary. All of
the data were written in the books
with pen and ink. While most of it
is easily legible, some of it is hard to
decipher.
The recording of brands vas begun
in Montana in 1871, when it was leg
ally made the duty of the clerk of the
territorial supreme court. James R.
Alden was then clerk, and he had the
distinction of beginning this record
which means so much for the protec.
ton of the valuable stock interests OF
the state.
At that time Hiram Knowles, now
judge of the Montana districts of the
= federal district and federal courts
was associate justice of the territory
of Montana. His brother associate
, justice was George G. Symes, and H
! L. Warren was chief justice. The clerk
. of the court would make up severa
pages of recorded marks and brands
2 and the chief justice and one associate
, would sign it, just as the record of the
, supreme court is signed nowadays.
, In 1877 the name of recording
, brands was changed. The duty was
treasurer. D. H. Weston, now a bail
. if in the federal court, was then treas
urer, and the record of the brand!
! for several years appears in his hand
writing. He had this work to do I'm

The SURVIVAL OF A CHAIR.

At the time we left Roraima she

we saw strange thing A common
reed chair, such as you often see on
the deck of transatlantic liner, was
hanging in the air to the ships stern.
1t had been fastened to the after flag
and braced below so that 1t hung off
in space just beyond the reach of the
flames. Some poor devil had rugged 1t
there and sat in 1t TO save himself
from fire, afraid to jump on account Of
the fierce rush of the volcanic currents
below. We could see him there, sitting

on account of the fire in the forward
part Of the saloon, but a stateroom was

buoys, and he might have got one and
put 1t on; but strangely enough, after
all that fire there hung the empty chair
literally intact. The next morning the

NEW ARMY UNIFORM.

Long Trousers.

Long Trousers.
The United States army is TO have a
new uniform. Radical changes are to
be made In both service and dress uni
forms Of officers aud men of all
branches of the service.
Some time ago Secretary of War
Root appointed a special commission of
army officers to Investigate and report
on the question of Improvement In the
uniforms now worn. This commission
has held a number of hearings, exam
ined the uniforms Of the armies of 9th
err countries and will report to Seere-
tary Root recommending number OF
changes.
These recommendations will include
the adoption OF khaki as the service
uniform for all arms. but full-length
trousers for prlvates are to be abol-
1shed The new service uniform pro
posed will have, In place of full-length
trousers, knickerbockers and either leg
glngs or wrapping for the legs similar
to that used In the British army. Long
trousers are to be retained in the dress
uniform, but the helmet will be abol-
ished and cap with visor substitute
ed. The brown SLOUGH hat with the
service uniform will be retained.
The proposed changes in the uniform
of officers are all in the direction OF
simplicity. The present long, heavy
sword is to be abolished in favor of
short and lightweight weapon similar
| to that now used in the italian army
In full-dress uniform officers will wear
n cap with visor which is to be modelled
, after a pattern used in the Prussian
regiments of the Germany army.
The knapsack Is to be abolished ana
in its place there win be canvas bag
that will be suspended by straps over
both shoulders. The bag will hans
about the middle of the back.
1t Is expected that Secretary Roo
will approve the proposed changes and
