A BY ACCIDENT.
Eastbound Train Meets With Mishap
Near Butte.

X Wednesday mornings Burlington
train from the west arrived a number
of hours behind time, having been de-
layed by an accident that occurred
Immediately east of Butte. One &C.
count has it that a car of coal was
left on a sidetrack so that the end
failed to clear the main line and that
the train collided with it, while an
other report was that the day coach
climbed the RAIL-" became derailed
and plowed along the track a distance
before a stop could be made. What
ever the exact nature of the wreck,
those on the train said that a fruit
car emerged from it in a badly demon
alyzed condition and the baggage car
also bore evidence of rough usage.
The conductor was on the platform
of one OF the cars and the force of
the impact threw him down and dis
abled him so that he could not pro-
coed with the train. A brakeman sus-
tanned some painful bruises, but he
stuck to his post and was one of the
arrivals when the train reached this
point.

/Doctor Baxter was called yesterday
to Huntley to attend A. c. Long, night
operator for the Northern Pacific at
that place. During the night before
Long had occasion to do business
with the express messenger of a
passing train and in leaving the car
forgot his lantern and book, which
he left in the a door. When he
thought of them the train was already
under Roadway and he attempted to
overtake it. In running he collided
with the platform of the crane of the
catcher service and badly injured one

j. p. Roche and Miss Bertha Blu
chanan, both highly esteemed and
popular members of Billings young
social set, were married at Helena
last Monday. The fact of the mar
rlage was known only to a few of
the more intimate friends of the con-
tracing parties and upon their re-
turn when they announced the happy
event it caused not a little surprise,
although some of the more knowing
ones had anticipated it for sometime.
Tuesday evening the new benedict
was made the recipient of a demon
stration at the hands of the remainder
OF the bachelor crew that he will prob
ably not soon forget. Certainly recol-
lection of it will long remain with the
conspirators responsible for it's oc.
c%urrence. Hearty congratulations and
we'll wishes are extended by the
many admirers Of Mr.. and Mrs. Roche.
whose hope is that their lives may be
full Of years and joys.
A large number of friends were at
the station this morning to bid fare
we'll to Mrs. H. B. Segur and children,
who left for the family's future home.
Atchison, Kan. In the departure OF
the Segurs a vacancy is created in
the social circles of Billings that will
be difficult to fill. The popularity |
they enjoyed was limited only by
the scope of their acquaintance, which |
practically means every one in the
city. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Segur are |
blessed with a geniality of person
that attracts all with whom they
come in contact and their ability for |
forming pleasant and lasting friend
ships is a %singularly happy one. In
church affairs Mrs. Segur will be
especially missed, as she was identi-
fled with the work in that field more
ordinarily prominent. If wishes
count for aught the lines into which
the lives of her and her estimable
family are to be cast in the years to
will be exceedingly pleasant
and suspicious.

As to Farm Poultry.

1t Is very hard to make farmers nm.
derstand how great their advantage,
are In poultry raising. They will say
the work does not pay, for it take,
their time from crops that bring NOR,
money. There is something In this II
one has a crop which is profitable and
which Is brought to the marketing
point at small expense. 1t would b.
folly to advocate that anyone drop q
paying crop to take up something they
are doubtful about, but where there
are diversified interests on the farm
poultry can be made to pay more than
1t does.
The writer knows a man who has
one acre In a small town devoted to
poultry. He goes to nearby city and
buys live poultry of wholesale commits
sion men at the market price, ships
them home. fattens them and markets
Nine tenths of the food consumed by
the fowls must be bought, and yet this
man makes a comfortable living out Of
the work. This is one case Of many,
and If this can be done it is certainly
reasonable to claim that the farmer,
who can raise the chickens from eggs
and also the food consumed by them,
can turn the result ON to the market
at profit.
The one cause Of failure Is not I'M
standing the needs of the fowls and
how to feed them to advantage. Learn
this by experience. and poultry raising
will be found one Of the most profit
able ventures In which the farmer can

New Conditions for Farmers.
One day, late in the autumn, hair
dozen farmers. coming fifteen miles.
drove into a prairie village with heavy
loads Of corn. They went to the prin-
cipal elevators and asked the price.
Thirty cents bushel to-day"
I'VE will go to the buyer at the 9TH
er end Of the town." said the spokes-
man.
1T will do you no good" was the
reply, las all the buyers pay the same
price here"
VERY well; we will go home and
send our corn TO market on foot"
They drove back fifteen miles and
unloaded the corn into their own gran
aries. to be shipped later in the form
of fat cattle.
Such an incident would have been
impossible ten years ago, when the av-
erage farmer was compelled to take
what was offered for his crop. But
two things have worked a transfer
nation In the graingrowing portion or
the West; the farmers have become
conservative with prosperity, and the
railroads have widened the markets.
Five years OF good crops In the West
have not only paid the debts. but have
also made the farmer capable or en-
ploying business methods. A few
years ago a settler visited town only
once fortnight or once month. He
took home with him the county papers,
the few magazines that he received
and large bundle OF groceries and
dry goods. With rural delivery and
rural telephone all that Is passed.
Under these conditions the Weste IN
farmer has developed an Independence

An Editor in 'ErOliDEc.

The editor of the Fender (Neb.

editorial which appeared in rec
ent issue Of the Republic follows:
The editor of this paper ha~
been hiding out in the straw piles
most of the time during the last
seven days on account Of that little
item in last week issue in which
we said that people dance solely
for the hugging there is in it.
y number of our dancing
friends of both sexes took violent
exception to that statement, and
one ambitious youth even went so
far, so we are told, as to threaten
to mar the fine classic outlines of
our beautiful physiognomy-but

done it yet.

lay any claim to infallibility. He

He will be hailed, whoever he may
be, by his fellow men and welcom-
ed as one of the great discoveries
of the age and his name and fame
ring down the ages. 1t may be
that one of the plodding students
now porting over the weather maps
at some insignificant observatory
may find a clue to this problem Of
the weather that has puzzled the
brightest minds of the century just
passed, and occupying the unre-
hitting and tireless attention OF
some of the brightest living.
1t is not by claiming knowledge
caviare to the public, by iconocIas-
tic attacks on the present methods Of
forecasting, by claims of veriflca-
tons not substantiated by veritable
forecasts, that the long ranger can
gull all the people even a part OF
tue time. That he has vogue at
the present time, can only be ac-
counted for by that innate love for
the mysterious which dominates q
large portion of mankind from the
time of the Yelled Prophet Of
Khorassan, to the Mystic Shriners
of today.
The facts of meteorology can be
known to all men, but the forces
back of these facts are the thing
to be grappled with, and the long
ranger who wanders far afeld
from these facts classes himself at
once with charlatans. A working
hypothesis sufficiently broad toac-
commodate the multitudinous facts
has as yet not been presented.
