MATTHEW MILLER.
Friend Of Deceased Pays Tribute to
His Memory.
Columbus. March /

Columbus. March IA.
The funeral of Matthew Miller oc-
Cured here yesterday at 2 p. m. When
the cortege escorting the body arrived
from Merrill the spacious hall was
nearly filled with citizens from Co
lumbus and several from Billings,
Big Timber and Bozeman, who had
come to pay their last respects to h
memor of the deceased.
The floral offerings were profuse
and beautiful. The music rendered
by the large chorus choir was appro-
pirate and touching. The Reverend
Joseph Pope, pastor of the Laurel
Congregational church, and an old
time acquaintance and friend OF the
family, conducted the ceremonies. In
his address he paid a fitting tribute
to the deceased. He briefly portrayed
the character of the mar whom he
had long known and highly esteemed.
What he was in business, in citizen
ship, in politics, in religion and IN
domestic life were commented upon
in a very fitting manner.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies
at the hall. the remains were taken
to the new cemetery, where the clos
ing obsequies were conducted and in
terment made. The pail bearers were

Snyder and William Smith, all =
cept Messrs. Cardwell and Harrington
being veterans Of the civil war.
Matthew Miller was born in Swe-
den, January 20, 1886. When % years
of age he came to America. In 1863
he enlisted in Battery G, Second ILL
nois Light infantry and for two years
shared the fortunes Of war with his
fellow patriots. He vas mustered out
at Camp Butler September 4, 1865,
having engaged in the following bat
ties: Old Town Creek and Hurricane
Greek, Miss; Nashville, Tenn; and
the sieges of Spanish forts in Blakely
and Mobile, Ala. He was q member
of Post No. Is, G. A. r., Billings.
In addition to his wife, who has long
been in poor health, he leaves two
sons and three daughters: John and
Nelson, Nellie and Minnie, who are
unmarried and will continue to live
on the homestead, and Mrs. Lena
Cook, whose husband is Northern
Pacific agent at Columbus. Mr.. Miller
came to the Yellowstone valley in
1881 and for five years made his home
with Olaf L%afverson. In 1886 he re-
moved his family to Merrill, where
through %incessant industry, thrift,
economy and business ability he sue
ceeded SO well that he became one
of the leading stockmen in Sweet
Grass county.
Politically Mr.. Miller was a repub-4
lican. OF this he was proud, and while
never seeking political office or stoop-
ing to the tricks Of q demagogue, he
was ever ready to defend the princi-
pies Of his party. During Mrs. Mil
ler's sickness, which has been for two
or three years, he kept constant vigil
His sudden death, resulting from APP
poplexy, brought to a close the life
of one of our most upright and re-
spected citizens. J.

ter being the time when taxes from
the present year will be paid. 1t will
cost about $4,000 to maintain the
schools proper for the intervening
period and consequently the district
will have almost a depleted treasury
next December.
1t is apparent that if the citizens
of the district hope to maintain a
reasonably hih standard of school gov
eminent and provide necessary school
room they must vote the bond issue
asked by the board of education.

REvOkES ITS
LATE ACTION
SCHOOL BOARD WILL NOT BUY
SITE SELECTED.
Bond ISSUE IS ASKED
Money Required for Ground and Build
ing in First Ward-FinanciaI
Statement.

Much as the taxpayers of the dis
trict may dislike to vote for bonds to
cover a part of the public school ex-
penses Of the district for the next
school year and provide additional
Lschool room and facilities Tor the
future, it is apparent that this must
be done or the efficiency of the sys-
tenn be allowed to suffer in the flu
ture.
The school board of the district held
a meeting last Saturday evening at
which a number of taxpayers, who
Thought the district could get along
! without additional bonds, were pres
ent. The board of education had al
ready bought a site in the city with
a view of erecting a large building
thereon this year to cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, for which the board
contemplated the issuing Of that sum
|in bonds. This action of the board
was rescinded after due consideration,
a conclusion having been reached that
a more economical plan for the time
being could be worked out.
The meeting Saturday night re-
suited in a resolution being passed to
submit a proposition at the forth
coming school election in the district
asking for $4,000 in 20-year bonds.
1t was the sense of the board, how
ever, that not more than $4,000 of
these bonds, if voted, should be used
this year and this money is to be ex-
pended in the purchase of site and
the erection and equipment Of a school
building in the First ward of the city.
The remaining $4,000 in bonds, If au-
thorized, would not be issued until
such time as it may appear absolutely
necessary.
Basing the percentage of gain IN
the number of school children in the
kdistrict the coming year with the rate
4 OF increase for the preceding two
years it is figured that at least l5O
children will be added to the school
roll. The estimate of increase is based
on the most conservative calculation
and will therefore necessitate three or
four additional rooms if the district
wishes to provide all necessary school
room. While many taxpayers OF the
district have been protesting against
the heavy special school levy they
have not taken into consideration that
an act of the legislature reduced the
general school tax from 5 to 2 mills
This act alone has deprived the dis
trict of a great deal of money which
has to be made up with special levies'
Another item which has greatly re
duced the funds of the district re
Gently was the redemption of bonds
and paying other unforeseen obliga
lions contracted some years ago. The
board of education was obliged to re
fdeem $4,000 in bonds besides quite a
sum in interest for which no sinking
fund had been provided by a previous
board.

bursements for the district since Sep

The latest amazing theory that has

the female person beauty is q neces-

qualifications and that the two cannot

II is a pity that Herbert Spencer
did not live to study the Chicago the
DRY of the connection of beauty With
brains. Readers of his autobiography
will recall that he discussed the rea-
son OF his lifelong bachelorhood and
explained that he made pulchr1tude
an Indispensable adjunct to any wo-
man he would marry. and that the only
one who ever was equal to his ideal
turned him down. But he did not say
that his companion must possess q
lofty order of intellect and as he has
cataIogued George Eliot, Madame De
Stael and George Sand as the premier
geuiuses among the women OF Europe
in the last century he was certainly
not looking for beauty. for even in
their youthful days each had face
that would not have procured her adj
mission to the third division in Chi
caSo.
Since Paris awarded the apple to
Venus on the summit of Mount Ida
I cannot ina CINE that a more perp1ex-

Tilted for Helen, refused to give him

am hopeful that DIR. krauskopf will
not be involved in any such direful
but history has a way
of repeating itself, and Paris had but
three women to deal with, whereas
the Chicago adventurer into deadly
peril was ESQ. Thus he incurs ZIG 2-3
times the danger that the Mount Ida
man did and the only possibility of
safety in his case lies in the fact that
as far as he appears on the face OF
the returns, all the women upon
whom he is to pass judgment are sin
gle or divorced and there is no Helen
for him to elope with.
Coming back to the strictly modern
phase OF the dilemma that confronts
DR.. Krauskopf, it is probable that the
GAL rejected candidates will be taken
in charge by the Chicago police the
his decision is announced.
In that eventuality they can be march

DEATHS.

Mrs. Sarah E Isbel, widow of the
noted Baptist minister, Rev. E. D. Isbel,
died near Nevada, Mo. She was born in
Paris, n years ago, and was a daughter
of Jacob Wheat, of this county. She
leaves one child, Harvey W. Isbel,
County Clerk of Kenton comfy. She
leaves two sisters, Mrs. Ellen c. Wood
and Mrs. Narcissa Wood, of Paris.
After a long and painful illness. Mrs.
J. A. Wilson, in the still hours of the
night of April 10th, the pure and gentle
spirit of one of earth's loveliest women
went to rest in home where sickness and
sorrow are no more: In the home life
which she so beautifully adorned, comes
the greatest loss, and in every relation in
life, as neigh5or and friend, her presence
will be greatly missed. The funeral SER
vices were held at the residence on Sunday
afternoon, and the large assembly Of sym
pathizing relatives and friends testified to
the high regard in which she was held.
One peculiarly sweet and beautiful feature
of this service was the singing of Mrs.
Princess Long, whose voice had so
cheered and strengthened Mrs. Wilson in
her illness. Under bunch of roses and
lilies in our beautiful cemetery now
sleeps all that was mortal of this friend of
our soul, while her spirit rests in the
bosom of her Lord. H.
Mrs. Wilson was SO years of age and is
survived by her husband, Mr.. Joseph A.
Wilson, her mother, Mrs. Amelia A.
Barclay, of Paris, and one brother, Jas.
o. Barclay, of Cincinnati, and one son,
James B. Wilson Among those
attending from distance were, Mrs.

You would be surprised to know how few
big hotels do that and how much they
lose In consequence. / have made 1t an
invariable rule to do this, and in conse-
quenoe get better service than II were
dilatory.
Il do not buy my produce from the farm
ers. for it might happen that they would
prove unreliable, and must have some one
on whom can depend. Iemploy three meat
men and in that way know that the prices
are not unduly raised, for 1t is to the adj
vantage OF each to keep within proper
rates. We have our own ice plant. Our
table service Is an expensive one. 1t Is all
OF white and gold, and the gold wears on
great deal, but to my mind it is neater
and looks better with any kind OF decora-
ton than more elaborate pieces. All this
china as well as the glass is imported and
Ia stamped abroad with the imperial coro-
net.
sNo, we have no state apartments nor
do we cater to that class Of patronage.
The word Imperial was simply choice OF
my husbands to express his intention OF
making his hotel the best OF its kind, and
a name once chosen remains. The coronet
supplies an attractive mark for the china
and furniture and stationery"
Still with the feminine likes in her mind
Mrs. Stafford thus explained the stationery:
Il always put the long. single sheets in
the mems rooms. while the women have
the smaller double sheets. i have found
