DROWNED IN OLD RESERVOIR.
Older Brother Dragged Down in At.
tempt to Save Younger.

Virginia City, June 23.-Two little
sons of Thomas Cort, foreman of the
Shafter mine, near this place, were
drowned yesterday in an old reservoir.
The boys were playing on the edge
of the bank when the younger, aged
Z, fell in and stuck in the mud. The
elder brother, in attempting to ave
him, also lost his foothold and was
dragged down. A third brother, a
wee child, who was upon the spot
and witnessed their struggles, ran
home to summon his mother, a half
mile away, but before the frantic pa
rent could reach the scene the boys
had sunk in the mud bank.

NO COURT TO-DAY.
Judge Loud Orders Discharge Of Jury
for Term.

for Term.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
It is considered as very improbable
that a session Of the district court
will be held before the next regular
term, which opens in September. In
answer to a message sem earlier in the
day making inquiry Of the judge as
to what arrangements he should make
concerning the opening of court today,
Clerk Williams received a dispatch
from Judge Loud yesterday afternoon
directing him to discharge the jurors
for the term and to excuse the wit
nesses until June %. If on that date
he is not here, the Judge added, court
is to- be adjourned from day to day
until further orders.
This is accepted as meaning that his
honor is of the opinion that it will be
impossible for him to open court here
for the %unexpired portion of the pres
ent term, as the amount of litigation
to be disposed of is too large to hope
for it's disposition in the short time
he would have at his disposal, even
could he arrange to come up. The
number of cases on the docket of Vel
lowstone county is greater than u.s.
ual and some of them threaten to
extend over considerable time, espec-
tally the suits of the insurance com
panies against the Northern Pacific
Railroad company for damages grow
ing out of the destruction by fire of
the wool warehouse at that place
about two years ago and for which
the companies hold the railroad re
sponsible.
Furthermore it is known that sick
ness exists in the family Of the Judge
and that sometime ago he arranged to
go on a vacation trip the first of next
month. \.

BLEW BOTTOM OUT OF LAKE.
lrrigatine Scheme Comes Near End.
ing in Great Disaster.

Baker City, Ore, June PA party
of fishermen returning from Rock
creek today report what might have
been a frightful disaster at Lake Kali
amacue on Friday night. An irrigat-
ing company has been engaged in bor-
ing a tunnel under the bottom Of the
lake a distance of about $50 feet, SO
that the water could be used during
the dry months. The tunnel was SO
planned that it would strike a point
about so feet below the bottom of the
lake. An uprise was started from
the end of the tunnel to strike the
lake bottom, supposed to be so feet
above.
On Friday evening the workmen
put in a shot in the solid rock in the
uprise. With a mighty roar the water
of the lake broke through into the
tunnel, and a moment after the men
gained a place of safety a stream Of
water six feet square was spouting
several hundred feet down the can
yon. Rock creek became a roaring
torrent in a short time. Fortunately
there we're a lot of trees in the lake,
which were uprooted by the rushing
water and carried into the tunnel,
thus stopping to some extent the out
flow of water. Had it not been for
this hindrance a mill and store build
ing would have been washed away
and several farm buildings destroyed
The lake is now empty and is use
less as a reservoir for this season.

HIGH ART CRITICISM.
Yellowstone Journals Dramatic Critic
Dashes Off Few Lines.

The following decidedly original
and spicey notice was given by the
Yellowstone Journal to an aggrega-
ticn of colored sons of Thespus, who
performed there a few nights ago..
The same combination hung around.
here, but was not given a chance to
infict itself upon the local theatre
goers: .
miles City's horoscope was set
crooked Yesterday. The nameless ag
gregation Of Ethiopian ~cascarets that
dropped in on the town like a flock of
buzzards on the pretense of giving a
sh.w, are certainly entitled to the
dizZ;est feather on the American pea
cock, as eclipsing anything in the
line CT GUINNESS that ever struck the
town. They were about as funny as
a lot ct pail bearers and their mooley
jokes gave forth the odor of decayed
cheese. The best thing that could
happen to them would be to fall into
the hands of a Macedonian committee
somewhere. down about Tusler and
have them stored away in a coulee
till the next washout comes along
that would acrry them far, far out
to sea, otherwise we fear they will
precipitate a race war somewhere
along the line where the people have
not been educated to that high de-
gree Of federation Of road agents as
has Miles City. The buck niger
with the car coupler jaw was about
the only thing in the whole show
that was worth a wink, while the
gorilla with the face like a puss moth
caterpillar that posed. as the Francis
Wilson of the affair entitled anybody
that looked at it to alimony. The
few who did go. however, went for
the sole purpose Of seeing something
absolutely rotten but fewer yet could
endure it and had to turn tail and
fee."

PEPPERMAN TELLS OF WORK
DONE IN PHlLlPPlNEs..
PEOPLE LEARNING ENGLISH
Americans in Government Positions
Replaced by FiIipinos as Rap.
idly as Pcsa,blc.

Washington, June 23.-Hon. Leo
Pepperman, 4 member of the Philip
pine civil service committee is in the
city, having arried from Manila. Mr..
Pepperman today said:
"The scope of the committee has
been extended gradually until it now
covers 5000 positions, ranging in sal
airy from SIS per month to $7,7OO per
year.
"The immediate award to success
full applicants has changed the old
Spanish system greatly. So great is
the interest of the Filipinos in &C
quiring a knowledge of English that
1000 adults are going to night schools
in Manila.
Before the American advent in Ma
Mia typewriters were almost un-
known in the Philippines. but now at
every examination held by the COM
mission applicants are qualifying in
typewriting and stenography. OF the
5000 positions mentioned 1000 are
held by the natives, the remainder
by Americans. The policy Of the
commission has been to replace the
Americans by Filipinos IS rapidly as
possible.
"Under Spanish rule" he continued,
women were unheard of in the gov
eminent service, but just before I
left Manila three Filipino young
ladies had passed successful examine
lions and had been given good posi-
tons. The Filipino makes a splendid
clerk.
Shortly before coming to America
! made a tour of the principal prov
inces for the purpose Of conducting
examinations. It was surprising how
much had been done, in spite of the
fact that the education of the islands
is centered in Manila"

COAL ON HIS LAND.
How the Recent Flood Brought Good
Luck 20 Hon. Jno. j. Hetzei, of
This city.

BY the turning of the course OF
small stream running through the
land of Hon. John j. Hetzel in Nor
gan and Hampshire counties coal has
been discovered to exist on his land
about five mile west of Paw Paw.
During the recent flood small
stream running through his land
changed it's course and washed away
enough earth to expose deposit of
coal. Mr.. Hetzel has instructed the
men on the place TO change the
stream back into its regular bed in
order that the coal can be examined.
Coal might exist on the land III
smn i rockets and then again there
MAJ "a large vein OF it. 1t is ev-
identity the same kind of coal which
exists in the western section of this
county.
Mr.. Hetzel owns a thousand acre
trac. of land in Morgan and Hamp-
shire counties.
