LESSON IN PATRIOTISM.
Beautiful Window Display by Dono-
van-Mccormick Company.

+ Y
An eloquent lesson in patriotism is
taught in the west window OF the
front of the Donovan Mccormick
company's store, which has been dec
GRATED in honor of the nations natal
day. The window is almost as large
as an ordinary room and every inch
of space is devoted to display OF
patriotic device and emblem The
BACKGROUND is composed of white, on
which are placards bearing the names
of the states and territories, framed
in garlands of the national colors.
In the middle foreground is scroll
arch, which undulates in graceful
curves the entire length of the vim
dow and is composed of red, white
and blue ribbon. Numerous electric
lights CLEAN from it and shed their
rays upon a magnificent specimen OF
the American eagle who with dis
tended wings, proudly looks aloft
from a perch formed by the center
device of the arch. On the right side
of the great bird stands cannon,
composed of black, cloth and covered
! with flowers, it's dark muzzle pointed
ohliqnely across the window. The
carriage upon which it is mounted
| is covered with red, white and blue
and forms a pleasing contrast to the
| sombre hue of the piece it bears.
To the left and viewing the picture
before her stands the Goddess of Lib
erty, life size, her face wreather II
smiles and apparently invites inspec
ton of the scene so beautifully spread
out before her. She wears the con
ventional gown of red, white and blue
and her head is surmounted by gol
den crown from the center of which
Il flashes star that emits a halo O
glory. The bottom of the window il
Ilaid off in squares of the nationa
colors, the effect of which greatly en-
hances and completes picture o
exquisite loveliness.

is MENAcED BY THREATS

Should Adam Felix Won Kluchinski
set foot again in this part of Mon
ANA he will probably be arrested on a
warrant charging him with making
threats against the life of G. O. Peter
son. his former partner in the sheep
business on the Musselshell. 1t is
not regarded as likely that service
of the warrant will be ever made,
as it is believed the Russian will not
come back. When last heard from
he was a convict in one of the penal
settlements of Siberia.
The name of the defendant has fig
ured prominently in the district court
recently in a suit brought by a Rus
sian bank to recover from him the
sum of about $500 he has on deposit
in the First National bank of this
city and which, the Russian concern
alleges he stole from it while in its
employ, a number of years ago. Al

all events, ne was arrested In LnlS
county for the theft by the late Sam
Jackson when he was deputy United
States marshal. After his arrest the
federal government honored demand
for the man from the Russian govern
ment and he was taken back, tried
and convicted. The bank from which
ne is said to have embezzled the
money to enable him to come to Mon,
tana and engage in business subse-
quently entered civil proceedings
against him and the balance he had
to his credit in the local bank was at
tached. When the matter came up
for trial the bank failed to make out
it's case and the money still remains
where Won Kluchinski placed it, pend
ing final determination of the suit.
Mr.. Peterson says that his former
partner has been released and has
written several letters to him in which
he said he was coming back and
would "shoot the top Of his head of, =
accusing him of having betrayed
him to the authorities. 1t is to guard
against such calamity to himself
that he concluded to secure warrant
for the belligerent gentleman, should
he decide to return and attempt to
put his threats into execution.

EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR
THE SEASON.
MANY BUYERS ARE HERE
Local Receipts Of Wool Expected to
Be Much Greater Than
Last Year.

" Next Monday, July 6, will witness
the formal opening of the wool mar
ket at Billings and from thence on
until the close OF the season things
will be lively around the two big ware
houses.
In the opinion of both buyers and
producers the receipts here will be
larger this summer than ever before.
Much Of the wool to the north that
mas formerly been sold at other points
will find it's way here, in fact great
deal has arrived already. The grow
ers have learned the advantage or
market where the receipts are large
and competition in consequence more
active, and many who have not done
so heretofore will avail themselves
Of the better conditions that obtain
here.
A. w. Elliott, who represents Jere-
miah Williams & Co., has returned
from flying trip into Meagher coun-
ty, where he looked into the wool
situation there. He says that the
clip of that county is better this year
than last year and in his opinion some
fancy prices will have to be paid
lii any Of the buyers want some OF
the Meagher staple. Mr.. Elliott 1s
the president of the local wool ex-
change and is noted for his conserva-
l.tism and good Judgment in all mat
ters pertaining to wool.
Speaking of the situation as regards
the market at other points, he gave
! it as his belief that things would go
1 on about as usual. He did not think
that Big Timber, which has been
| trying to have an open market estab'
lished there, would succeed in it's am
| bition and said that one or, perhaps,
| two buyers would be about all that
would operate at that place. Buyers
do not care to go to the smaller
places within comparatively easy
reach of this point and desire that
as much as possible OF the. wool o.
the surrounding territory be concen
trated here. 1t not only is more con
venient for them. but also is to the
interest of the growers, as it gives
them the advantage of larger mar
ket and consequently greater compe
J tition.

GEORGE ELECTED MEMBER OF
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
STATE FAIR BOARD MEETS
ORGANIZATION Perfected and Association
Prepared for Business-Helena's
Modest Demand Refused.

F. L. Benepe, prominent merchant
and rancher OF Gallatin county, has
been elected president of the state
fair association. To a newspaper
man, J. w. Pace, editor of the Mon
tana Stockman and Farmer, has been
given the combined office OF secretary
and treasurer.
The meeting of the association was
held at Helena last Wednesday and
Thursday. Only three of the counties
Of the state were not represented at
the meeting. They were Custer, Flat
head and Ravalli.
An executive committee OF five
| members was elected. OF this Thomas
A. Marlow of Lewis and Clarke coun-
| ty is chairman. The other members
are, w. B. George, Yellowstone; P.
w. Bradford, Cascade; J. Dinsmore,
Missoula, and w. H. Raymond, Madi-
son. Neither the chairman nor the
representative from Missoula is a
member of the board of directors.
Under the, law organizing the state
fair the directors are chosen for two
four and six years. All of the present
board having been appointed contem
poraEeously it was necessary to decide
upon a division of the terms. This
was accomplished by drawing lots and
the result was as follows:
Six-year term-H. Berg, Broadwa
ter; J. J. Patterson, Cascade; J. 3
Farnum, Custer; w. B. George, Vel
lowstone; George McCue, Dawson; F

AN EXPERTS OPINION.
No Hope for Relief from Grasshopper
Scourge.

0S0NtS~s
professor Cooley returned Sunday
from Forsyth, where he went on his
return from Butte to look over the
grasshopper stricken country in that
vicinity, says the Bozeman Chronicle.
He says that conditions on the range
there are the worst he ever saw.
A strip OF country 20 miles long and
about so miles wide is entirely de-
vastated so far as affording range
for stock is concerned by grasshop-
pers and crickets. 1t is causing great
hardship to the cattlemen and sheep
men, who see nothing to do but move
out of the country and seek other
ranges.
Professor Cooley does not see any
hope for the range this, year and not
very much prospect for any effective
methods of ralief in the future as long
as the grasshoppers exist in such
quantities. Some experiments have
been made in the way of killing them
off by the introduction of diseases
among the pests, out in the dry eli
mate of Montana such efforts are
scarce likely to succeed, moisture be.
ing an essential condition for the
spread of most of the diseases fatal
to the insects on large scale.

AN ALLEGED HoRsETHIEF.
Grow Indian Charged With PurIoinine
White Mans Horse.

Gets Down, a distinguished member
of the Crow tribe, is confined in the
county Jail on the charge of grand
larceny and unless he manages to
secure bond in the sum of $500 will
have to remain there at least until
next Monday.
The gentleman of the suggestive
name is accused of having stolen a
sorrel gelding from Willard ]. Stod-
dard of this city. He denies the soft
impeachment and claims that he oD-
tanned the animal in trade. His
arrest was accomplished. near the
Pryor sub-agency last Wednesday on
a warrant issued by Judge Mann.
The horse was found in his posses
sion
Stoddard claims to have raised the
horse from a colt and gives the names
Of number of persons who he says
will testify to that effect. Originally
it is alleged, the animal was branded
with 'lazy S." Whether it was this
or some other brand has not yet been
established, but it is said that the
Grow brand, which now marks the
horse, gives unmistakable evidence OF
having been placed over some other
Gets Down admits that he put the
tribes brand where it is on the horse
but contends that he had the right
to do so.
Before the arrest was made it was
sought to induce the Indian to sur
render the alleged stolen animal, bu
he refused to give it up, saying tha
it was his and not the white mans
He persisted in retaining the horse
and was arrested.
The preliminary hearing will take
place next Monday.

BOTH WILL REMAIN.
Montana Cities Retain Membership in
Pacific National League.

No doubt it will interest the local
admirers of the game to learn that
the two Montana cities which have
membership in the Pacific National
league will continue to remain, not
withstanding all the talk that was
heard about the dropping of Helena.
A decision to this effect was reached
at the meeting Of the league magnates
held at Tacoma last Monday and Tues
day.
Portland is the city that has been
dropped, the patronage given by the
Webfeet having been so slim that
every time any of the teams played
there it was at loss and the other
cities were compelled to make up the
deficiency. The Portland team has
been transferred bodily to Salt Lake
City, by which name it will be known
hereafter. Grim, the old manager,
will continue to be in charge of the
team.
Another change made consists of a
revision of the schedule by which the
two California teams, San Francisco
and Los Angeles, will be kept north
until the first week in September,
which means that they will make
another round of the cities in Montana
and Washington, and also play at
Salt Lake, before they go home. They
will close the season in California
October II. Seattle and Spokane are
the only northern teams booked to
play in California. The Californians
are scheduled for series of games
at Seattle, while that club is on the
road and Butte and Helena are under
scored for another series. AS a result
of the new schedule Butte and Helena
will have more games than under the
| Old.
