Contract Work on Library Ended.

The last work of the contractors,
Shackleton G Whiteway, ON the new
Carnegie library building, outside of
the painting, was done today, says
the Miles City Journal of Saturday,
and the building is now ready for the
reception of the books. The work
manship throughout is of the best
and credit to the firm who held the
contract, and a guarantee that any
future work they may undertake in
Miles City may be relied on. The in
terror of the building is as cosy and
well arranged as the exterior is at
tractive, and there is every reason to
believe it will admirably fulfill it's
mission of making a place where
growing boys and girls may go and
fill their minds with useful knowledge
and keep the boys especially from
spending their time in questionable
if not worse places of entertainment.
The book room is finished in oak,
the cases being eight feet in height.

at the rear and center of the room
upstairs. There are all necessary
desks and tables, and rack for the
newspapers, The upper floor is of
hard maple. The basement is taken
up with an assembly room, together
with storage room, in one portion
of which is a dumb waiter, for the
transmission of books from the up
per to the lower floors. he floor
of the basement is of Oregon fir and
the wainscoting of Georgia pine, OF
which material the interior stairways
are made. The steam heating plant
has been installed and is in opera
ton, but owing to break in one
of the front plates will not be in good
shape for warming the building until
a new casting can be received. This.
it is thought, will take a week or
more, and the painting can not be
done until it arrives. The opening
of the building must be somewhat
more deferred by the absence of a
book fund, so that it may be three
months before the building can be
opened to the public.

the location of the boxes through

date, it Is believed here. may result
in the promotion to the supreme bench

be in fulhllment Of the general Under
standing that he ultimately would be
appointed TO that court, which exist
ed at the time he resigned from the

But Police VIII Meet Them Hereafter.
The attention of the police has
been called to young men who loaf
around Seventh and Orange streets

force their company on them.
This has occurred more than once.
Last night one Of the young women
requested her father to meet her
and escort her home when her work
was done. When the gentleman
was going to the office he met seven
of these fellows one Of whom was
heard forming plan by which the
girls could be caught. Three of
them were to 60 up an alley and
the remainder stand on the corner.
The gentleman went into the office
and at 8 o'clock his daughter and
the other girls came out. He came
out with them and when the would
be escorts saw him they ran off in
all directions. Three of them came
out of an alley showing they had
followed out that much of their
plans.
The girls have complained of the
conduct of these young men who
are well dressed and apparently
respectable.
The management of the tele-
phone company has learned of the
affair and has requested Chief
Black to have policeman at Sew
