HIGH HEELS IN FASHION.

The crazc for hygiene and athletics
has done much toward the suppression
of the high heel, which. according to
many doctors, not only dcfcrrns the
wearer's feet, but is bad for the gen
eral health by reason of the unnatural
strain on the body caused by the
weight being thrown on to the ball Of
the foot
Now, however, for q while the high
heel is TO be in favor again, says the
London Express. owing to the new
fashion of the short skirt, which barely
reaches to the ankle. 1t is thought
that the high heel decreases the np-
parent size of the foot
High heels are more generally worn
in Paris than in any other city in the
world; but in Vienna, where they
were much in vogue some time ago, the
tailor-made costume has been the
means of bringing in the square heel.

HORSE SALE OPENS WELL.

Judging from appearances all con

gan yesterday, have no occasion to
make complaint. Buyers and sellers
are present in large numbers and the
bidding is spirited. Something like
300 head were sold yesterday at prices
ranging from SIS to $97. The prices
obtained, while not large, were still
satisfactory and in the opinion OF
competent judges the animals sold
brought their full values.
Today's main feature of the sales
was the selling of a lot of about 500
horses, entered by John Ramsey,
which were ordered sold in carloads.
The sale will continue for a few
days longer and as it progresses great
er interest is expected, as the de-
mand for horses of all sorts is good

At the evening session Doctor Lind
sey was the only witness examined.
He testified to having performed an
autopsy on the remains and said that
he found the left lung filled with pus,
indicating the presence OF acute
military tuberculosis, OF quick con
sumption, and gave this as the u
of death.
Coroner Rinehart informed the jury
that he had made an examination
of the effects of the deceased. Among
other things found were two suits OF
clothes, two watches, one a silver,
open face, and the other oxidized
silver, hunting case. A trunk for
which Hodges had a check, was open
ed and it contained his theatrical
wardrobe, letters and cards belong
ing to the effects, showing him to
have been a performer. In addition
he also seemed to have acted as ad.
vance agent tor a vaudeville booking
concern as some OF the letters we're
in regard to bookings.
The letter to Savaresy turned out
OF be an order for $40, which appears
to be in the nature Of a bill for fees
for bookings. Other letters showed
that Hodges home was at Flint,
Mich, where he left a sister and a
brother, the latter a doctor. From the
letters of the latter it was CLEANED
that the deceased had written to him
and told him the doctors said he was
affected with consumption.
In the sisters le.aars reference was
made to his children, who it appears
are living with her, she having taken
charge of them in consequence Of a
divorce Hodges obtained from his
wife. The latter was said to occa-
sionally visit the children, but seem
ingly was not very welcome, as ref
made to the showed
she was not held in high esteem by
the sister.
A Maccabees badge was found fas-
tened to the vest Hodges wore when
he died, but no cards or other Gre
dentials could be discovered to show
his membership in that order. Among
his effects was a card ISSUED by the
Spokane lodge of Eagles, but it failed
to evidence his good standing, as it
was dated in 1900. A telegram, how
ever was sent to the lodge making
inquiries concerning the deceased.
Another dispatch was sent to the sis
ter at Flint.
The coroner's jury was composed
of F. D. Derby, Thomas Hurley, Lew
Robbins, Jean P. Decker, George East
man and Gilbert B. Williams. A YER
dict of death from the disease de-
scribed by Doctor Lindsey was re-
turned.

A BIG ATTRACTION.
Absarokee People Planning to Have
Banner Celebration.

Banner Celebration.
The little town of Absarokee, in
Carbon county, is going to celebrate
the Fourth in a manner that would
be a credit to many of the more pre-
tentious towns located along the line
of railways.
The village in the valley of the
Saltwater river and named to perpet-
uate the name of the tribe of Indians
who a few years ago roamed at will
over the hills and fertile sections Of
that part of Montana, through the
push and energy of Messrs. Ross &
Runner, merchants of the town, is
to have the banner Fourth of July
celebration of eastern Montana this
year. In the list of attractions billed
is a balloon ascension and parachute
drop by Professor L. N. Odell, an
aeronaut of considerable reputation
throughout the west. The Billings
band, consisting of 20 pieces, has also
been engaged, besides there will be
an orchestra of seven musicians from
this city which will go along to de-
light the rural residents of that To-
cality with it's music. Other features
are horse races, basket picnic and
dancing.
Accommodating the musicians who
will go from this city will be quite
a large delegation of other citizens,
who will take advantage of the coca.
sion to take a two days outing.

LOCAL WOOL x
Buyers Receive Instructions to Hold
OF a While.

Although a few small sales of wool
have been recorded on the local mar
ket during the last week or SO, trad
ing has not become general and, as
in past seasons, the market will not
open regularly until after the Fourth.
The few buyers in the field are doing
nothing, having received instructions
from their respective houses not to
make any more purchases for the
present. Two of them received tele-
grams last evening ordering them
peremptorily not to buy any more
until further instructions should reach
them, while a third was cautioned to
go slow.
The wool at the two warehouses
does not represent full clips, except
in possibly few instances, being the
first of the many clips to be received.
When the market opens regularly it
is expected that many of the consign-
ments will be complete and then bust
ness will become brisk.
AS regards the outlook for the sea
son, opinion is devided. Some pro-
fess to believe that good prices will
obtain and that the demand will be
as great as ever, while others say that
because of the lightness of trade re-
ported from the manufacturing CEN
ters those who are expecting high
prices and a strong demand are paw
ing the way for disappointment.
So far at Miles City, which will
have more wool this summer than
ever before, some estimate by about
5000, 900 pounds, trading has been
very satisfactory and good prices have
been paid. Yesterday several clips
were sold there at figures around the
15-cent mark, some a little below and
others above.
