HOLD Up a MAN.

In South Park the burglars met Con-
stantine Quasdika, who resides at 26s
Brannan street. They ordered him to
throw Up his hands at the same time
placing two revolvers to his head
Quasdika complied with the command
and two of the men went through his
pockets, taking a small amount of
coin They then ordered the man TO
walk in the direction of Third street,
while they disappeared in the darkness
of a side street. Regardless of the
fact that the police might be searching
the neighbOrhood for them, they re-
turned TO Brannan street, between
Second and Third, and entered the
Transfers Exchange saloon while the
proprietor was drawing a pitcher of
beer for a woman who was waiting
outside. One of the men went behind
the bar. opened the cash register and
pocketed about $2S. The proprietor
turned, but the robbers rushed from
the place and ran toward Third street.
Soon afterward the men appeared at
the corner of Third and Brannan
streets and approached Antoine GaIicia.
who was star1ing in front of a saloon.
They demanded money from the man.
but he informed them thas he did not
have any. They then asked him to take
them inside and buy them a drink. but
he repeated his answer that he was
without funds. One of the robbers then
struck him on the head with the butt
end of a revolver, cutting a cash two
inches long. Galicia fell to the pave
ment, shouting for help, and his assail-
ants ran off. The injured man was
taken to the office of a physician in
the neighborhood and the wound was
stitched.

v Hereafter the public library will
remain open continuously from 3
o'clock in the morning until o'clock
at night. There will be no more
closing for the dinner and supper hour
as heretofore.
Monday evening a meeting of the
trustees was held and it was decided
to employ permanent assistant Ii
brarian, as the patronage OF the Ii
brary has grown to such an extent
as to make such an addition absolute
ly necessary. Miss Winnnred Jones'
who was formerly assistant to Miss
Collins, was re-engaged, at a salary
of $40 per month. Miss Jones only
recently returned from Madison, Wis.
where she took course in the library
training department which forms al
| adjunct of the Wisconsin university
and bears a certificate from that insti
! tuition.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Series Arranged for Counties in Vel
Iowstone Valley.

Notice is given by the adminisira-
tive board of the Montana Farmers
Institutes that series OF institute
meetings will be held in the counties
of the Yellowstone valley. The fourth
as arranged for will be in this city.
probably about November IL, although
of this there is no absolute certainty
A majority of the institute workers
serve without compensation, other
than their travelling expenses, and
the directors for that reason in a large
measure must consult the convenience
of those people.
Among those who will address the
institute are John w. Pace, editor OF
the Montana Stockman and Farmer,
and either T. T. Black of Whitehall
or w. B. Harlan of Como. Both are
very successful farmers and fruit
growers and undoubtedly will have
something of value to ten the local
agriculturalists and horticulturists.
But the talk will not all be to
men only and on subjects interesting
to men only. 1t is the desire of the
directors to present topics interesting
to the ladies of the home, whether
in town OR on the farm. With this
object in view they have secured Miss
Harkins, professor OF domestic
sciences at the state agricultural
college, who will give talks on food
and other topics that will be of worth
! to the ladies'.

Notes.
''The library" says the re..c .--'3
been most economically managed this
year, and it has been only by the
closest figuring that we have been
able to keep within the limit of the
amount set aside for library purposes
Seeing that there was going to be
difficulty in keeping within this limit
and that for several months no books
could be purchased, the librarian ask
ed for leave of absence for five
months, which was granted. Miss
Winnifred Jones, the assistant libra
rian, was left in charge during this
time, her salary being raised to $40
month. The hours of opening were
shortened, Miss Jones doing the work
alone; thus $50 month was saved
for five months. Miss Jones did the
work most creditably. In June she
! was granted leave OF absence to
attend the summer school OF library
| science at Madison, Wis. Miss Marble
and Miss Ella Goetschius have each
| given three months time to the IL
! brary this year in return for the
knowledge of library work and meth
ods they have gained.
"The anniversary of the dedication
Of the library was the occasion for
a pleasant gathering in the. rooms OF
the library, the evening Of November
%. A musical programme was rem
dered the first part of the evening,
and the Woman's club took charge
of and served refreshments in the
basement.
Teachers and pupils of the schools
and members of study clubs are using
the library for aid in their work. A
suggestive list of books for vacation
reading for boys and girls was print
ed about vacation time and proved
a help to the young people in the Sc
lection of their reading. These lists
on timely topics are helpful to the
adult reaNers and to the young peo
pie, and some such lists should be
published the coming year.
obstructive lectures are an import
ant means of enlightenment and cul
ture, and where these are provided
frequently a great educational ser
vice to the community is rendered
The library secured two lectures dur
ing the year, which were held in the
basement of the library, and were
free to the public. The first lecture
was given by Doctor F. w. lraphager
of the state agricultural college, his
subject being Food and Energy.
Doctor James Reid, president OF the
state agricultural .cOllege, dellVefed
the second lecture. His subject was
Sunshine and Shadow
Under the auspices of the library
concert was given in April at the
opera house. Professor Currier OF the
state agricultural college, accompan
led by a party of four others, was
assisted by some of the local talent
; The sum of $40 was cleared, will
; which books were purchased.

Reverend Mr.. Clark is not comins

Too Much for Him.

Judge p. c. Walker is great
lover of fishing, and, a few
days past, while the snow and
sleet covered the ground (mak-
ing a most dismal and unat-
tractive sight to the Judge a
friend entered his Office and be-
gan his conversation thus:
Say, Judge, they can talk
about winter all they want to,
but l was just thinking that
were this a nice, bright June
morning, beautiful green
carpet on old mother earth,
the limbs of the trees weight
ed low by their heavy foliage,
the wild flowers covering the
beautiful hillsides along Gill
bert's creek, and Capt. Searcy
should send word in that fish
were biting fine, and"

city, it is worth working for.
No city ever secured a govern
ment building without sending
a committee to Washington
armed and equipped, as we'll as
provisioned, for a stay of such
length as might be required.
Just SO long as we content
ourselves with sending statis-
tics to Mr.. Gilbert, and leave
him to do the work alone, he
will be pushed aside by the
majority, under the impression
that the people are not inter-
ested in the matter and that he
is only trying to make capital
for himself.
But, with a committee on
the ground keeping open house
at its headquarters, much good
could be done that our Con-
gresham cannot do alone.
They could secure a hearing
before the Committee; they
could interest leading men,
bers of the majority in the
bill; they could lay the matter
before Congress in such a way
as to convince them of the abb
solute necessity for the pas
sage of the bill, and, when
this work is done, we may ex-
pect the building.
May we not venture to ex-
press the hope that the neces-
sary steps to send the commit
tee will be taken at once, so
that Mr.. Gilbert can not say

Let's Go After 1t.

We are glad to note that
there are still some signs of
life in the old town, and have
come to the conclusion that it
is too early to surrender all
hopes for the future of Law
renceburg.
With the building of the
proposed Masonic Temple, the
remodeling of the Courthouse,
the installation of a modern
system of water-works and
and electric lights, a very cred
liable start toward making
this city what it should be
will have been made.
But, while this is doing, let
us not forget that some four
years ago a movement was
started to secure a government
building for this city. Let us
remember that Congressman
Gilbert has promised to offer
no other bill for such build
ing until this one is secured
and that he would do all in his
power to push this bill to its
passage.
Let us also remember that
no city ever gets a building
erected by the government
without going after it, and
that, if such a building is
worth anything at all, if it
will beautify or ornament our
