THE WEEKS
SOCIAL DOINGSI


The past week has been a very
quiet one socially. The fortnightly
dance, given by the Elks, came off
as usual. The Billings Woman's club
met yesterday afternoon; the various
Ladies Aids, which include a large
proportion of the feminine contingent
OF the community, held their weekly
meetings. There have been besides,
a very few informal gatherings. Moth
ing, however, worthy to be called a
function has taken place for some
time.
The Ladies Aid of the First Congre-
gational church met with Mrs. Pur.
cell in North Thirty-fourth street
Wednesday afternoon. A very pleas
ant feature of the meeting was the
presentation by Mrs. H. B. Segur, on
behalf of the ladies of the church. of
a dozen handsome sterling silver
teaspoons, on which her initials were
engraved, to Mrs. w. D. Clark, the
pastors wife. Mrs. Clark was com.
pletely taken by surprise and quite
overcome, but expressed her appre-
citation of the gife in a few very feel
ing words. Mrs. Staples and Mrs.
Mickey were joint hostesses together
with Mrs. Purcell on the occasion. De-
licious refreshment were served, A
1O-cent collection was taken up. Next
Wednesday these ladies will be en-
t~ertained by Mrs. B. w. Toole at her
ranch home, just north of the city.
Wednesday afternoon also st. Luke's
Guild met with Mrs. e. Cardwell at
her home in North Thirtieth street.
Miss Edna Cardwell and Miss Min
ME Miller assisted in serving refresh
ments. The ladies of the church are
very busy preparing for an Easter
fair. They will meet next week with
Mrs. j. H. Martin of North Twenty
ninth street. The Ladies Aid of the
Methodist Episcopal church met the
same afternoon in the basement of
their church, and the Baptist ladies
with Mrs. Russell of Second avenue.
At the meeting of the Woman's
club yesterday afternoon there was a
general discussion on the play Meas
ure for Measure which the members
nave been studying for the past
month. The meeting was under the
direction of Mrs. H. M. Brayton. The
discussion was bright, witty and ami
mated. An interesting paper on "The
Life of Leonard di Vinci" was read
by Mrs. Bean. Miss Panton followed
with an excellent paper on Modern
Newspapers" Mrs. F. G. Kress of
Dillon has been engaged by the club
to deliver a Shakespearean lecture,
which will be given in the C%ongrega-
tional church next Friday evening.
She will address the club in the after
loon on the first act of "The Mer-
chant of Venice" A reception will be
held in honor of Mrs. Kress Saturday
afternoon to which the members of
both the Tertiary clubs will be invited.
A committee was appointed by Mrs.
Railsback, the president of the club,
to attend to all the arrangements.
It's members are Mesdames McCor-

to adapt it to the particular character
OF the demand. The special design
OF machinery equipment that may. be
appropriate for certain purposes may
not be practical for other uses. and
in the beginning it is most natural
that an operator should be partial to
such mechanism as has faithfully
served him at some former time, al

most familiar and trustworthy appli.
ances to other and varied conditions,
such as those Of the soil to be handled,
for instance.
The distinctions in conditions and
requirements are often of such a char
acter that they cannot be anticipated,

of ingenuity and experiment on the

tons Of this promising industry have
encountered it's difficulties with COM
posture, borne it's vexations with for
bearance and striven and stridedto
new achievements through persever-
ante, genius and technical scientific
knowledge. These are the men to
whom, from the inception of the indus
try to the close of the season of 1902,
natures strong boxes have been made
to yield, at a conservative estimate,
81 ,125,000, and there are millions yet
to come.
Among the rifles in the sluice boxes
OF the Bannack dredges is always
found a large quantity of black sand
and iron rock. This is carefully saved
and at the end of each season shipped
to the smelter at Omaha. The value
OF the iron rock varies from $35 to
$1S5 per ton. One season 35 tons of
this material were saved.
Quite a number Of relics of the
palmy days of Bannack have been re-
covered from the sluice boxes Of these
dredges, among others being a heavy
1S-carat gold ring. The company has
a cabinet in it's office which is filled
with these relics, consisting of coins,
cartridges of all kinds, medals, a part
of an old pistol, curious nuggets, belt
buckles and a hundred different ar
ticles. The oldest of the coins is
a 10-cent piece dated 1926; another
old-timer is a 5O-cent piece dated
1888. At a point which is said to
have once been the site of Henry
Plummer's cabin a cache was evident
ly encountered, as the buckets brought
up 10 81 gold pieces, 9 $3.50 pieces,
1 IS gold piece, and 8 50-cent silver
pieces. The majority of the coins
are dated from 1853 to 1861, although
there are a few of recent years. The
largest nugget ever taken out was
egg-shaped and weighed $3.50.

INTERNATIONAL RACES
Fourth Struggle Declared Off Be-
cause of Expiration of Time.
This Saved the EneIishman From De-
feat-The Reliance Was Near the
Finish and the Shamrock Was
Over Two Miles Astern.

New York, aug. zo.-w'iitth Reliance
less than a third of mile from the
finish and Shamrock III. hull down on
the horizon, fully two miles astern of
the defender, the fourth race of the
present series for the Americas cup
Thursday, was declared off because of
the expiration of the time limit of SO
hours as appointed on Thursday last.
Although officially it was no race the
defeat administered to the challenger
was so ignOminiOuS that whatever lin
gering hope remained in the breasts
Of the friends of Sir Thomas boat van
ished into thin air. Reliance's victory
was in every way more decisive than
that of last Saturday. Outsailed, out
pointed and outfooted, it was pro-
cessiOn from start to finish, with
Shamrock bringing up the rear. Here
shoff's boat beat Shamrock Ill hope
lessly in the Is miles Of windward
work, rounding the outer mark II min
utes and 20 seconds, and down the
wind Reliance steadily increased the
lead. The real race of the day was
not in the run against Shamrock, but
in the exciting struggle of Reliance
in the last half hour to reach the finish
line before the regatta committee fired
the gun which announced the expira-
ton of the time limit. Had the wind
freshened 20 minutes earlier than it
did, the cup series would have ended
Thursday with three straight wins for
the defender, and Flies light weather
boat would have sailed back to AL
bions shores one of the most disas-
trously worsted challengers in the his
tory of the Americas cup contests.
The next race, which will be like
the one attempted Thursday, 10 miles
to leward or windward and return,
will be sailed on Saturday.

AN ALLEGED swINpLE.
Man Arrested Charged With Working
fake" Directory.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 2S.-A fake
directory" swindle of national proper
tons and by means of which over ST.
100000 has been taken from mer-
chants, bankers, etc, all over the coun-
try, is alleged by the local detectives
as the ground for the arrest of Jacob
w. Geist. Geist, who claimed to rep
resent the National Gazetteer, of New
York and Chicago, was taken into Gus
tody here Thursday charged with hav-
ing obtained money by false pretenses
from five local firms. The officers de-
clare that Geist's doings are connected
with those of James Fallon, arrested
in New York last April and of Arthur
Hubbard, arrested in Washington
about the same time on similar
charges. According to the officers the
men go to merchants to solicit adver
Using in a national business directory
and rating book. If a bona fide order
signed by the merchant is given it is
raised in amount and so changed as
to provide for payment at date be-
fore delivery of the directory and adj
vertisements. If the merchant re-
fuses he is persuaded to sign blank
application for a sample copy which
later appears as a contract for pay
ment over the victims signature. 1t
is said that many merchants have paid
rather than become involved in
amounts ranging from $25 to 500.
The officers claim the scheme is be-
ing worked all over the United States
and Europe with a central Office where
the papers are altered by means Of
acids and printing appliances.

ROBBED THE OFFICE.
Two Men Killed and Two Wounded
BY Hoid-Up Men.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-WithOut a word
of warning two men were killed and
two others wounded by hold-up men at
the barns Of the Chicago City Railway
Co., SiXty-first and State streets, at an
early hour Sunday. The shooting was
done by three men, who escaped after
securing $4,000. Three of the men who
were shot were working in the cash
ier's Office, and the other was motor
man asleep in the outer Office. The
men in the Office were shot before they
were aware of the robbers presence,
and the motorman was killed as he
was rising from a bench where he had
been asleep.
The robbers took no chances but dis
posed of all the opposition of the en-
ployes before they entered the Office,
Choosing the time when the employees
were busily engaged in balancing up
the receipts of the night, just after the
last conductor had turned in his money
and left the barns the robbers suddenly
appeared at the receiving window and
began shooting The first intimation
those inside the Office had that any
thing was wrong was when they heard
the shots. The first bullet struck Stew
art, and he fell to the floor without
word. Biehl and Edmond, who were
sitting near Stewart, turned to see
what was the matter, but before they
could leave their chairs they were
rendered helpless by the well-directed
bullets of the robbers. Johnson, the
motorman who was asleep on bench
in the outer Office, hearing the noise,
started up to go to the assistance of his
companions, but was shot and killed
before he could get to his feet. Max
ing sure that all opposition had been
removed the robbers then broke open
the door of the cashiers Office with a
sledge hammer, and secured $4,000 in
bills which was lying on the desk.
They then made their escape. Four
men were arrested three hours after
the robbery, on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the crime. but they have
not as yet been identified.
