LIKED GOOD CLOTHES.
Weakness That Prompts TWO Men to
Commit Burglary.

Because of their weakness for good
clothes and their disinclination to
come by them honestly, George Fisher
and Frank La Pont are in the county
Jail awaiting trial on the charge OF
burglary. They broke into the house
of Corbley Iams, near the Burling-
ton yards, last Friday afternoon, where
they replenished their rather scanty
wardrobes.
1t was about o'clock when they
committed the alleged burglary, which
was effected by breaking souple OF
locks. A young man was in the house
at the time, but not in condition to
make resistance, having arrived there
a short time before almost helpless
because of too free inhibition in some
thing stronger than water. He heard
the marauders and permitted them to
take whatever they chose: After they
were gone few minuets he recover
ed his senses sufficient to go to q
nearby place and telephone up town.
Officers Terrill and Mowre were noti-
fed and secured buggy in which
they gave chase and overhauled the
looters near the river. The fellows
were in the act of changing their own
clothes for the stolen ones and had
partially arrayed themselves in their
new outfits.
Just after the men had been taken
into custody Under sheriff Sayles and
Iams also arrived in buggy and
assisted in bringing the prisoners back
to town. The men were arraigned
ebfore Justice Mann, where Fisher
practically admitted the theft, being
impelled thereto by the charge OF
La Pont, who claimed that Fisher had
invited him to the house and given
him the clothes he had helped to take.
Ir default they were committed.
The stolen articles are of consider
able value, consisting of eight coats.
seven pairs of trousers, three pairs OF
shoes, four vests, watch chain, q
razor and various other things, MAX
ing bundle weighing in excess of 100
pounds.

THIS YEARS WOOL BUSINESS ON
LOCAL EXCHANGE.
LESS THAN LAST SEASON
Total Still Comfortable one-High
Average Of Prices Ruled the
Market.

| N0w-that the season is at an end,
the usual figuring as to the total OF
the wool sold on the local market is
| in order
| While there may be a slight variance
| in the figures, it is admitted that the
sales of the year were considerably
less than those of last year. Several
reasons for this exist. The hard win
ter caused a lessening in the focks.
Many sheep died, while many more were
shipped out. Then on top of this the
establishment of market at Lewis
town also helped to decrease the total,
to an extent, according to the most
reliable authorities, of about 1000, 900
pounds.
| In spite of the causes conspiring for
a decrease the total will be fully g..
| 100000 pounds, an amount greatly in
excess of that predicted at the open
ing of the season.
Because of the great amount OF
wool bought at private sale before
the exchange opened it is impossible
10 give figures as closely as in past
seasons as regards to prices and
amounts, but conservativefy estimated,
it is the opinion of those competent
to pass judgment that the average
price paid here was IL cents a pound,
although some regard this as a trifie
high. saying that 16A cents would be
nearer correct. When it is taken into
consideration that some clips sold at
considerably above 20 cents and that
only very few realized less than 16
cents, while many brought 18 and 19
cents and better, it would appear that
the higher average is more likely to
be the right one. Accepting this as
approximately correct, it will be seen
that in spite of the adverse condi-
tions $1,615,000 was paid to fockmas-
ters through the Billings exchange.
Accepting the figures given out
there the wool shipped from the two
warehouses was divided as follows:
Northern Pacific.... 100000 pounds
Burlington ........ 100000 pounds
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-07-26

ern Pacific warehouse was baled and
loaded onto cars last Saturday and the
big building was deserted. The shut
down was only temporary, however,
for today the presses are running
again and the place bears a. good deal
Of it's wonted activity.
A shipment of 500 bags was re.
ceived during the night and is being
forwarded. "A few small clips are
still undelivered, but their arrival is
expected almost daily and upon their
receipt they will be hustled out as
fast as possible. None of the large
clips remains on the hands of the
growers and it may be said that with
today's baling the season will have
come to an end.
Scheme Not Favored Here.
OP Al AO1CuSlA NOACdAd CAOy a. 2
agitating scheme for a chain of reg
ular exchanges at Great Falls, Lewis
town, Fort Benton, Chinook, Malta and
several other places. 1t is said that
some of the buyers are behind the
movement and that it is being favor
ably considered by percentage OF
the f1ockmasters.
The plan of the men favoring the
scheme is to have regular sales days
at each of the proposed exchanges,
so that none would be constantly
open. To the larger places it is pur-
posed to allot two days of each week,
while to the smaller only one day is
to be given. 4. 4. I.
The buyers who are advocating the
change lay great stress upon the in
creased competition and the conse'
quent advantage to the seller They
claim that by concentrating the wool
at a few places it would enable the
buyers to curtail expenses to q con
siderable extent and allege that be-
cause Of this they could pay better
prices, as the houses could economize
in the matter Of pay to buyers.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-07-26

in the north may regard the plan,
those who annually come to Billings
do not grow enthusiastic when it is
mentioned to them. The say it
would compel buyers to be on the "go"
all the time, travelling from one place
to another, while the aggregate Of the
wool offered at the many exchanges
would not be large enough to war
rant the trouble and cost of travel.
Some of those who have expressed
themselves regarding the proposed
change think the present method, hav-
ing exchanges at the larger centers,
is the better. They say that because
of the low rates the railroads have
been making the sellers can profitably
ship their clips to them and have the
benefit Of active competition and the
presence of a number of buyers. We're
a lot of small exchanges to be estab-
lished instead of being concentrated
at few important points wool would
be scattered, they say, in small guam
titles over large area and while
some buyers might attend all of the
sales, the majority would not care to
do so, being content to confine their
operations to the larger places. This
would reduce competition at the small
er exchanges to a minimum and the
f1ockmasters who listed on them would
be at disadvantage when compared
with those who sold on the larger
ones.
As Regards Next Year.
From Boston has come the news
that some of the dealers there are
already preparing to contract for next
years clip, at fancy figures. While
this may be so, 1t is doubted. The
season of 1904 is still too young to
make anything like reasonably correct
figuring on the result possible. While
it is known that the shortage this
year is great, estimated at several
hundred million pounds, it is impossi-
BILE to foretell how the market for
manufactured goods will go. Later
in Inc season, when something can
he told as to the demand for manu-
factured goods, say the men who have
been buying here, things may so
shape themselves as to warrant think
ing Of contracting ahead, but until
then they regard all such tai kas
premature.
A presidential year" is always ac-
cepted as meaning a disarrangement
of trade in every branch, and while
the present does not seem to promise
as great disturbances in that respect
as usual, still the uncertainty that
exists is bound to have its influence.
Until it is known to a reasonable
certainty how the demand for clothing
will shape itself neither the mills nor
the jobbers will care to become plum
gers. Were conditions normal, say
those who are in the trade, and trade
following the usual channels there
might be some reason thus early in
the talk of contracting for next year.
But under existing conditions it
seems hardly credible that men could
be found in whom the spirit of chance
is so strong as to tempt them into
making contracts they may have cause
later on to regret.

SOME REAL BALL.
Billings Played It Sunday Up to Sixth
~a lnninn

1/For six innings last Sunday the
Elks' team played ball in manner
that warmed the hearts of the fans and
caused them to think of some of the
games they had read about, while they
were storing their minds with details
to be related in after years to circles
of astonished and thrilled listeners
Only one little error marked their
playing up to this point, and that
didn't count, SO it made no difference.
Try as they would, the men from
Red Lodge could not make single
down stroke on the tally sheet and
it looked as though they were slated
for row of goose eggs to take back
with them. But in the sixth the good
fairy that had been pulling for Bill
ings momentarily became too much
interested in her proteges' exhibitions
CT high art and permitted one Of the
coal diggers to make the circuit of the
bags and they scored their first run
The opportunity for shutout hav-
ing passed, the Elks allowed their
hearts to soften and they permitted
the men from Sootville to score thrice
more. In the seventh the iron entered
their souls again and they retired Red
Lodge without run. Once more they
relented in the eighth and again in
fhn ninth IN 0f VIII nh, S,,v.
the miners scored, giving them to-
tai Of 6 to 10 made by the men play
ing under the banner of the antlers.
Jacobs for Billings again demon.
strated his value in the box While
he struck out but four of the diggers.5
they were able to make only seven
hits off him during the entire game
Up to the sixth only one of them
had been made. He also flelded his
position excellently, having five as
sists to his credit, one of which started
double play by which two men from
Red Lodge took seats in an attempt
to make double steal.
Barr, the new catcher, made fav.
orable impression, playing his posi-
tion well and getting a double and
a single out of five times at bat.
Babcock, Sheehan and Wilson carried
off the batting honors for the home
team, each getting three safe hits,
one of Wilson's being good for two
bases.
Early in the game Red Lodges bat
terry went to pieces and change OF
pitchers was made, but the stick work
of Billings was such that the change
did no good. Each of the purple and
white men seemed to have his batting
clothes on and apparently had no
trouble to find the man in front of
him whenever he wanted.
One of the really good plays of Red
Lodge was made by Otto Youngholter,
who swiped one so far that he ambled
over the entire circuit and was credit
ed with the only home run scored.
There is some talk of Forsyth and
Bozeman trying conclusions on the
Billings diamond Should the match
be made it will be game worth
seeing. Good as all the others may
be, it is admitted that Forsyth and
Bozeman are really the only teams
"in it" when it comes to fast and ac-
curate ball playing. Jim Fleming has
been suggested as the very man for
umpire, should the proposed game be
pulled off here. He is scrupulously
honest, eminently fair and knows all
the fine points of the game as we'll as
the best of them.

VIII history repeat itself with rela-
tion to the recent disappearance OF
smoke and steam from Kilauea volcano
and an eruption with flow OF lava en-
Sue? A minute study of the eruptions
in former years indicate that whenever
smoke and steam have failed to issue
from the deep chasm OF Halemaumau, is
portends an outbreak The unusual
number of earthquakes which have re-
Gently been felt in Kau district on the
island of Hawaii as well as in Homo
lulu, the last shock being felt here less
than week ago, brings to mind similar
occurrences in Kilauea in former times.
Rev. w. D Westervelt, who has just
returned from a visit to Kilauea, studied
the crater day after day, taking large
number of photographs in which are por-
trayed dense volumes of smoke rising
from the pit Other photographs taken
a few days later show no signs of
smoke, although Mr.. Westerveit says
that occasional puffs of steam rise from
some of the cracks. AS far as he could
peer down into the pit there was to be
seen only the juggling. tremulous move
nent of hot air.
From drawing made of the crater
IN its present form it has now assumed
the appearance of a funnel the small
end downward, with shelves opening to-
ward the interior just below the rim.
In the year 1870 Hillebrand makes the
first mention of the disappearance of
smoke and shortly after this was noticed
there was an eruption, and flow of lava
travelled over Puma to the sea. On
April Is, 1868, the smoke disappeared
and shortly afterward there was an I'M
derground flow of lava which came out
near Kahuku, Kau, Again in 1880 the
same thing occurred and flow of lava
started off which threatened to invade
the town of Hiio. Fire disappeared
from the bottomless pit for a week or
more Another similar occurrence took |
place in 1886, followed by earthquakes
and an underground flow of lava. In
1891 after disappearance of fire and |
smoke the crater became exceedingly ac-
tive just where the flow of lava went |
or by what means it freed itself is not
known, but it is supposed to have taken |
an underground route to the sea. In
1893 the pit filed up, no smoke waste be
seen, and an eruption followed. In 1894
the lake sank and no smoke was visible. |
Most of the disappearance of smoke
have been brought to the attention of I
observers in the months of April, May,
June and July
A writer describing the appearance of
Kilauea in 1868 says: 1--WE made
circuit of the crater and found not
trace of liquid lava. The vast cliffs,

TRAVEL BY TROLLEY.

Not little by little, but with mighty
strides the trolley is spreading its
meshes over the country. The lines
extending in all directions from the
cities meet local lines and SO reach
further until, in the closing of the ever
shortening breaks, trunk lines are sud-
denly established. Philadelphia is now
to be joined to New York by trolley;
New York joins Boston, and the troll
leys of Boston run to the uttermost
parts of Cape Ann. Prestoi The Phil
q delphian can journey by trolley to
Gloucester and to where the cool
Lreezes sweep over Norman's Woe.
The trolley with all its progressive
ness means reaction, and with all
its up-to-dateness is return to nature.
IL takes us into fields and among flow
ers. through narrow woody ways where
the trees meet overhead. The speed is
Lot so great that the scenery cannot be
leisurely enjoyed; the sweet fresh air
blows cinderless upon the face, and the
right of way is not charred and black
ened-as when nature spreads bit of
mourning along the tracks for the birds
that the screaming locomotive has
frightened away, for the noble trees
have been cut down, and the railroads S
broad band of ugliness. The clean.
light trolley is taken to natures heart
The wild flowers creep up to the track
the grain mods friendly to the car it can
almost touch. and when the car has
passed the birds light again on the wire
to talk the matter over and to discuss
the merits of that strange new singer
the little trolley wheel which fearlessly
skins along the wire above the car,
singing as it goes.
But best of all, the trolley is demo-
cratic. 1t is for the people. The roads
live not through the few travellers who
take long journeys, but through the
millions of travellers who take little
journeys. The true significance of the
lengthening lines is in the increased
number of centers which they touch
and the greater trips, of various short
lentghs that can be offered.-Philadel-

Wardion's AssaiIants Unknown.

Denver, May "A Republican spe-
citl from Salida last night says:
Organizer w. NJ Wardjon, who was
assaulted by three men at Sargents
Saturday evening, is resting easy to-
night at the Rio Grande hospital. He
is free from pain, according to state
ments of the hospital surgeon. The
doctors would not allow an interview
and no further statement could be Sc
cured from Wardjon tonight. Dr. Kel-
Ter says that owing to the nature of the
bruises it will be several days before 1t
can be ascertained whether Wardjons
injuries are of a really serious nature
He is able to sit up in bed at times
and cOnverses freely with the ply
sicians. He does not refer to the as
sault. however, unless the affair is
mentioned.
He is a very quiet man. said one of
the doctors tonight 'and it would be
difficult to find out from him just what
transpired before the assault"
Wardion was expecting to be attack
ed at Salida. He wired the officers
here, asking them to meet him at the
train and remain with him and guard
him until he had transferred to the
standard-gauge here. He said he would
have felt safe after leaving Salida.
