settled

Butte, Mont. April 27.-The execu-
tive board of the Silver Bow Labor and
Trades assembly was in session Sun
day..night over the question Of the
trouble between the striking messen-
ger boys and the Western Union Tele-
graph company. The meeting was held
behind closed doors and judging from
the sounds emanating through the
transoms warm session was In
progress. The various business inter-
ests of the city have brought strong
pressure to bear on the labor assem-
bly, and it was said that a settlement
of the trouble was quite probable.
though the radical faction made de-
termined fight for the recognition OF
the union fby the Western Union.
The labor assembly board adjourned
at late hour without arriving at any
settlement.
The board came to the conclusion
that as the, telegraph company hal
ceased doing business in the city there
was nosHAeson why an attempt should
be made to settle the difficulty.

He brew what to Do.

In the old canal days, fine setter
was taken by his master on a packet
boat which was SO crowded that the
dog was put in the captains cabin
to be out of the way. His owner
reached his destination after night
fally and had taken SO much wine by
that time that he was carried of the
boat, and no one remembered his set
ter. Next morning the captain took
the dog on deck, but was much
afraid he would jump off to the tow
path and try to return that way, and
10 handsome an animal would have
been in danger Of being stolen. Car
10, however, lay perfectly quiet, but
with an air Of listening that attract
ed notice. Towards noon he heard
Hhessound of the horn of packet COM
ing from the opposite way, and, M
the boats passed each other he made
a leap, and was next heard from as
having got off at the place where his
master had stopped, and as having
gone at once to the house where the
man was a guest. Human intelligence
could not have surpassed that shown
by this animal.

Roosevelt Praises the Park.

"The Yellowstone park" President
Roosevelt says, sis something abso-
lutely unique in this world, as far as
know. Nowhere else in any civilized
country is there to be found such q
tract of veritable wonderland, made
accessible to all visitors, where at the
same time, not only the scenery Of
the wilderness, but the wild creatures
Of the park are scrupulously preserved
as they were, the only change being
that these wild creatures have been SO
carefully protected as to show liter
ally astounding tameness. The crea-
ton and preservation of such a natu-
raj playground in the midst of our peo-
pie as whole is a credit to the ma
ton. and, above all, credit to Mon.
tana. Wyoming and Idaho. 1t has
been preserved with wise forethougnt.

other claimants for the title, It is un-
doubtedly the largest bell in the world.
1t was cast In the year 1873 by order
of the Empress Anne. There is no REQ
ord Of it's ever having been hung. 1t
was found embedded In the earth where
it had fallen and was excavated and
set in position by order of the Emperor
Nicholas in 1880. 1t is nineteen feet
three and one-half inches high and
weighs $4,000 pounds. 1t is said
there were more than 1000 tons Of
bronze melted for it's casting. The
king stands in tho middle of a square

Teachers salaries were pretty low,
too, In those days. There wasn't any

of teachers whose magnificent incomes

magnificent sums of So a month for
