ed in the condition Of James Carwile.
The wound in his throat vas dressed
this morning and it was found that
it was no longer necessary to con-
tinue the use of forceps in keeping
together the ends Of the severed
arteries. His strength is increasing
and today his prospects for ultimate
recovery are considered much bet
ter than for weeks past.
Judge Loud and Fred Kreidler,
court reporter, were obliged to go
to Forsyth this morning. Hearing OF
the contested election S in Rose
bud county was set for today and the
judge was compelled to go down and
personally open court for the purpose
OF ordering a continuance in order
that his jurisdiction in the matter
should not lapse. He will return to-
night and reconvene court for yell
lowstone county tomorrow morning.
VWhile somewhat disappointed ~
the low price realized for the old city
hall and fire station, the city officials
are of the opinion that they made
a good bargain in %disposing OF the
remnants of the city Jail, for which
they received $25, as they had believ-
ed that it would be necessary to pay
some one for removing the wreck.
Phil Grein, who was the purchaser, is
also happy. This morning he found a
man who paid him $25 for the roof
and lumber of the structure, leaving
him the stones, to obtain which he
bought the shack. G. F. Burton
| bought the old hall and paid $3.50 for
it. while T. G.. Fenske secured the old
furnace, paying ISL for it.

boiling down the pulp of cocoanuts,
and being a vegetable oil somewhat
resembles cotolene when used in the
kitchen. In behalf of the lard" it is
cotolene or genuine lard and that it's
use leaves no unpleasant odor or
taste on the things cooked in it. The
new article may take with the house,
keepers who object to the high price
of lard at present, but the prejudice
that exists against all substitutes for
foodstuffs may prove to be strong
enough to prevent it's use from be-
coming popular for a long time to
come.
The friends of a certain estimable
citizen who at times is inclined to
be a trifle bibulous are telling a story
that speaks we'll for his ingenuity in
deceiving his spouse, while at the
same time it also shows her innO-
Cence OF all Things IN u way OF III
toxicants. Several times of late he
has returned home a little later than
usual and generally in a condition
suggestive of having dallied with the
flowing bowl while en- route. To his
wife's repeated charges that he had
been drinking he invariably replied
that he was not guilty, but had taken
a few glasses of sherry " to steady
his nerves." In telling a neighbor
about it she remarked a day or two
ago: II really believe that that
medicine, sherry that my husband
has been compelled to take recently
contains liquor. Every time he takes
some of it he acts as though he had
been drinking"

Under his directions improvements
and repairs to the canal are still
prosecuting. The continued mild
weather greatly facilitates work and
good progress is making. Mr.. Searles
says that where it is necessary to re-
move earth, the ground is found to
be free from frost, except where
water has run and even there it does
not extend to a depth of more than
three or four inches.

LOCAL ROWLERS SUSTAIN WELL
EARNED REPUTATION.
VISITORS ARE NO N0vICEs
Although Not Fast Enough for Bill
inss, Milesians Beat Score
Of Thorntons.

Down at Miles City, where. the game
" still young, they are turning out
bowlers who, with ordinary luck, are
destined to give the best in the state
a SILVER whenever they think of them,
judging from the performance OF the
trio that played here last night. Nc
Cornell, who is admitted to- be the
best one of the three, was in poor
form and did not play his usual game,
falling far short of what he is capa-
BILE of doing when not under the in
huence of an ''oH day. Nctwithstand-
ing the handicap suffered on this &C
| count, the team beat the score OF the
famous Thorntons of Butte and had
it not been for the phenomenal luck
in which Richstein rolled for the To-
calls the result might have been en-
tirely different, for Smiths "hoodoo"
pursued him and Sherman did not
| come up to expectations.
Following is the score by games:
Miles City-Keenan, 16S, 17S, 1853,
1877, $50. Total, $50. Mcconnell, 17s,
LA, 1873, 1876, LAT. Total, 1872. Gull
liams, 211, LA, 165, 1872, 1913. Total,
925. Total for team, 2,573.
Billings-Smith, 1872, 164, 1856, 119,
151. Total, 1872. Richstein, 17S, 224,
2O2, 1872, 1877. Total, 993. Sherman,
173, 1T, 1913, 173, 191. Total 9O7.
Teams total, 1852. Majority for Bill
ings, 1os pins.
The average for each team was,
Miles City, III SIS; Billings, l7S 40.
On the basis of their last nights
performance the Miles City mer arc
next to Billings as regards the cham
pionship of the state, as they beat
the record made by the Thorntons
4S pins, the score of the latter in the
match played here being 2,525. In
the way of department they also com
mended themselves highly, not only
so far as their opponents were con
cerned, but with the spectators they
made another decided hit, as they had
no complaint to make on any ground
and expressed themselves as well
pleased with the alleys and the treat
ment received.
Next Saturday a team representing
Billings will go to Sheridan to try q
match with the .enterprising little
Wyoming town. where a brood OF
bowlers has been Matched out lately
that is anxious to go against players
of admitted ability.
Following the Sheridan match 9
team will visit Miles City for the pur
pose of playing a return game. II II
said that the alleys of the Mileslans
are even faster than those OF TINS
city. If this is really So, a warm con
test may be expected.

N. S. R. OFFERS TO BID.
WOULD BUILD 4 SUBWAY,
Mr. Orr Thinks Competition Justi-
fes Laying Another Tunnel.

At the meeting of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion yesterday Alexander E. Orr announced
that the Metropolitan Street Railway Company
had signifed its intention of becoming a COM
petitor for the construction and operation Of
the proposed new subway from Harlem to the
Battery. This information had been conveyed
to Mr.. Orr through Thomas F. Ryan and Paul
d. Cravath, and was embodied in a letter which
Mr.. Orr read to the commission. expressing his
personal view on the matter. Mr. Orr favored
the laying out of new subway from the Har-
lem TO the Battery on such terms as would make
possible competition for the contrac. by both
the Metropolitan and the Interborough but de-
clared that he believed public sentiment favored
the municipal construction and ownership of
such a subway.

itan Street Railway interests, said 10 a. Tribune

Washington, Dec. 1T.-President Roosevelt en-
tertained Ex-Governor w. Murray Crane and

taries Root and Cortelyou, at luncheon to-day.
The fact that Mr.. Crane was at the luncheon, in
addition TO being an invited guest TO the Presi-
dents Cabinet dinner tonight caused consid-
cradle political comment. 1t has been known
sor a long time that the President desires Mr.
Crane to be connected in some intimate capacity
with the campaign next year. Indeed. it has
been suggested that he might be the chairman
of the Republican National Committee il Sen
ator Hanna refuses to retain the place This
rarticular subject, however, was not discussed
AZ the luncheon to-day Mr.. Hanna has been
reonested by the President to retain the chair
nanship, and until he reaches a definite decision
no move will be made In any event. IT is un-
6erstood Mr. Crane will hll an important place
in the campaign management next year. Po-
iiticaI affairs were discussed informally at the
luncheon. but assurance is given that beyond
