The members of the local knights OF
Pythias lodge were agreeably sur
prised Monday evening while in se,,-
sion at their hall, when their better
halves, without the slightest warning,
walked in and took possession of the
quarters. The ladies apparently had
been contemplating this move for some
time as they all came laden down with
a liberal supply of dainty refresh
ments, which, after a pleasant social
session, soon disappeared before the
anti-dyspeptic appetites of the mascu-
line attendance.
In the absence of DR.. Reber, county
physician, DR.. Wilson on Monday re-
sponded to word received here to the
effect that case of smallpox had been
discovered at the A. d. Howard ranch
on the Rosebud. Upon the Doctors
arrival there he found a young man,
Mrs. Towards brother, suffering with
the dread disease and at once placed a
strict quarantine over the premises.
AT present there are some 80 or 40 men
employed at this ranch, and while
many have been exposed no additional
cases are anticipated. The fflicted
man is at a loss as to where he con-
tracted the disease, but it is the opinion
that he became exposed to some emf
grants while visiting at Forsyth
week or SO ago.
From two o'clock Saturday afternoon
until late in the evening Alexander's
hall was the centre of attraction for a
large gathering of ladies and gentle
men, the occasion being a fair and sup
per given by the Ladies' Aid society of
the M. E. Church. The hall had been
arranged for the affair.
AT different intervals about the inter-
ior were placed counters, where arti-
cles made by the society were placed |
upon sale, while in another section was
located table at which ice cream,
cake and other refreshments were
and when the doors were closed
in the evening it was found that nearly
had been disposed of. The
Ladies' Aid is to be congratulated
upon the showing made for as a result
Of their untiring and ceaseless efforts
to pay off the Indebtedness of their
church, they were rewarded in the
sum of over 500.

the field Mr.. Collins came to the con.
clusion that eastern Montana was good
enough and came back. He says Sc
attic is overrun with men of all kinds
and conditions in search of something
to do and that hundreds who were
attracted thither would only be too
glad to leave, but have not the means.
A meeting was held in Justice of the
Peace Tom Buffers office Tuesday
night for the purpose of organizing
base ball team and taking other such
steps necessary to the forming of suc!A.
an organization. A committee of three,
consisting of - Potter, Harry G..
Wright and George Kane, was selected
to call upon our citizens and ascertain
what aid they would give the PROPOSE
ton. 1t is the belief of those taking
the initiative in the matter that with
little difficulty sufficient material can
be mustered to organize a ball team
that can contend with any in eastern
Montana and be credit to the COM
munity. If the proper encouragement
can be secured within a week or so a
team will be organized and grounds
put in shape preparatory to an active
base ball season. 1t is not necessary
to point out to our citizens why thew
should give their support in this move
ment. They know that the town is
sufficiently large enough to maintain
good club, and it is now up to them to
show that they are possessed of the
proper spirit to make the undertaking

Yellowstone Journal: d. c. Col

Mr.. Ceilings says that there is every
indication at present of good grass in
his vicinity and that stock is looking
fine. He also says that the indications
are equally strong for a grasshopper
crop. The pests are already showing
themselves and it is feared that they
will later on give trouble.
l.. E. Stone, who recently arrived
here from Joliet, Carbon county, is
about to open up real estate and live
stock commission business in FORSYTH.
With the wide acquaintance enjoyed
by Mr.. Stone in the northwest, the
business ability and enterprise char
acteristic of the gentleman, he will
doubtless experience no difficulty in
building up an extensive business at
this point.
Although the attendance was not ex-
ceedingly large, those who availed

ence. The promoters spared no pains

Five Of the tenants in the Elwood apart

CROKER NOT ABOVE MURPHY.
ASK TIM SULLIVAN IT YOU'RE
~ DOUBT ABOUT IT.

Mr.. Murphy WIN he Leader - Leng ~
He Wants to BE, Haid the COngPessman
Yesterday. and Is Ions ~ He says 70
the Executive COMMITTEE 10 Pretty Slid
One OF the interesting things at Tammany
Hall on Friday night when Leader Murphy
took possession OF the organization In all
It's parts was tho omission Of any reference
to the continuance OF Mr.. Murphy as chief.
The resolution which made him leader last
September said simply that Charles F.
Murphy should thereafter exercise the
powers which had been exc cised by the
triumvirate. No term was fxed and under
that resolution Mr.. Murphy holds the leader
ship until the executive committee passes
a resolution putting him out.
1t was believed last December just before
the time set for the meeting Of the execu-
tive committee which Devery stopped by
his injunction that a resolution would be
offered indorsing Mr.. Murphy's admins
tration or continuing him in the lea 6ership
Now there will be no occs sion for Mr..
Murphy to meet the exigency Of an election
in the organization where opposition TO him
might develop. He is seated until such
time as he wants to get out or hostile inter-
ests control a majority Of tho Executive
Committee.
Lots Of people we're ready to ask yester-
day. II 1t wasn't possible that Richard
Croker might be able to take command
II he returned with desire for his old
place. The Murphy supporters, prefxing
1t with statement that Mr.. Croker wouldn't
come back with such an ambition, said 1t
would not be possible for him to get the
machinery without Mr.. Murphy's full
consent.
80 say nothing Of Mr.. Murphy's other
allies" said one Of his leutenants, 1he has
such an understanding with Congressman
Timothy D. Sullivan that there is no chance
Of them losing the control
And Congressman Sullivan himself said:
IF Mr.. Croker came back he could OF
unseat Mr.. Murphy. Tammany is har-
monious and has every confidence In Mr.
Murphy All the Croker men are satisfied
with Murphy's leadership. Mr. Murphy
will be leader as long al he wants to be.
The disappearance of the finance COM
mittee from the standing committees Of
Tammany wipes out the place which used
to carry with it the leadership. namely.
the craftsmanship Of the finance committee.
The new treasurer of Tammany. Frank
A. O'Donnell, has taken charge OF the books
and papers left by John McQuade, who died
In office. No report IL ever made OF the
condition Of finances when such change
Is made. For that matter, it Is nearly thirty
years since Tammany changed treas,lrers.
Mr.. McQuades term going back almost
to Tweeds time.

Prof. woodruff Climbs Porch and Rescues
Three Children.

PRINCETON, n. j.. May 2.-I.ast night
fire completely destroyed the large brick
house on Bayard lane belonging to the
estate Of the late Willard Humphry, form
erly professor of German in the university.
Mr. and Mrs. Wheaton, Who occupied the
house. were spending the evening away
from home, and had left. their three small
children in the house in the care OF servants.
Shortly after the people in the house had
retired. fire was discovered by neighbors
on the lower floor.
The fire had got such a start when first
seen that the only means OF getting the
children in safety, from 1he second floor
was to climb up the portB and take them
out through the windows. Col. Wood
hull, professor, Of hygiene.. climbed the
porch and gently dropped the children into
a blanket. held for them by those below.
The house was only two doors above
Grover Clevela1d's and first across the
loss is about $4,000, and is partly covered
by insurance.
