LARGE SECTION OF BUSINESS
PART OF THE CITY is DE-
STROYED.
LOSS is A MILLION DOLLARS
CITY HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM
LOSING WHOLE BUSINESS
SECTION.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 26.-Fire caus-
ing a loss estimated at about million
dollars yesterday consumed the entire
business portion of Butte lying be-
tween the Shodair block and Ren shaw
alley on the south side of West Park
street and half destroyed the public
library.
The fire call was turned in at $40.
At noon the four-story Symons store
was a mass Of flames and the public
library and other places were burn
ing simultaneously. At ! o'clock May
or McGinnis announced the fire under
control Had the blaze once crossed
Main street into the old buildings on
the north side of Park street, Or
Had It Not Been Checked
at the Renshaw block, Butte would
have suffered a loss of IS 100000.
A cigar company occupied part OF
the ground floor and basement of the
big Symons Dry Goods company build
ing At once the men realized that to
keep the fire confined to the basement
and away from the elevator shaft was
the only hope of saving the block.
The men could not enter the seat Of
flames, but several went through the
rear sidewalk windows and held the
hose as close as they could to the
origin of the smoke. Finally, with a
favorable change in the wind, which
kept the smoke back temporarily, the
fremen broke in three doors on the
ground floor and poured the water in
the direction of the elevator shaft,
which
Roared Like a MiIrace.
A perfect geyser of sparks and burn
ing shingles spurted across the roofs
of other buildings, starting flames in
the Renshaw hall, and away to the
Park building. From II O'Clock until
noon the Symons building burned free
as a bonfire, and the fremen confined
their labors to saving adjacent prop
erty. The Renshaw building seemed
doomed. as did the Lewis and Clark
buildings.
The Miner, Broadway, Harvard, Ar
cyl and other buildings were licked
by the flames, but good work on the
part of the owners and the firemen
prevented what seemed for some time
a general conflagration, as stiff wind
was blowing flaming embers every.
where.
BY II o'clock every piece of fire ap-
paratus in Silver Bow county was at
the scene of the fire.

LOOKING AFTER INDIAN MONEY.
Can Money Belonging to Indians Be
Levied to Satisfy Claims.

The United States authorities OF
South Dakota are preparing to wage
an energetic fight in an important test
case involving the legal status OF
funds arising from the sale of inherit
ed Indian lands, which is now pend
ing in the state circuit court of Rob
erts county, and which will be tried
during next month.
The test case was instituted by
Sheriff Minder, of Roberts county, the
First National bank of Sisseton being
the defendant. The creditors Of Sis
seton Sioux Indian, learning that the
Indian had deposited in the bank funds
derived from the sale Of inherited
land of which he was one of the heirs,
levied on a sufficient amount OF the
money to liquidate their claims. The
bank refused TO recognize the levy IN
the absence of a decision Of the courts
defining the status of such funds.
The federal authorities will defend
the bank fhen the case comes up for
trial, on the ground that money de
rived by Indian heirs from the sale OF
inherited land is trust funds, and not
subject to levy by county or state
authorities.
The parties who are seeking to Sc
cure possession Of part of the money
deposited by the Indian who is indebt-
I'd MT in
funds must be treated the same as
funds belonging to white men, and can
be levied upon the same as in the case
of white man.
The Indians Of the Northwest have
during the past year or two received
many thousands of dollars from the
sale of inherited land ,and because OF
this and the fact that many of them
owe considerable sums, the outcome OF
the case pending in Roberts county Is
awaited with great interest.
The federal statutes provide that
when inherited land is sold the pro
ceeds shall be placed in bank to the
credit of each heir in proportion &c
the amount each is entitled to. The
heirs are permitted to draw from their
account not to exceed the sum OF S1l
per month, subject to the approval OF
the Indian agent or other official III
charge Of them.
When the approval of the agent OF
other proper official is obtained, the
heirs can check out the money in the
sum stated. In the case of minor heirs
the checks must be made out by theil
recognized and legal guardians.

WILL CONDUCT EXPERIMENT.
Government to Spend Millions on a
LARGE Farm Near Belle Fourche.

Preparations are being made for
the establishment of a government ex-
perimental farm in the area to be irri-
gated in the Belle Fourche district, in
which undertaking the United States
government will eXpend several mil
lions of dollars, the money for the
purpose having been appropriated by
con ngress.
Engineer Walter who has charge of
the irrigation project, was recently Of
fcially advised that the government
had decided 10 set aside eighty acres
for experim entail purposes. The ex-
perimental farm will be under the di-
rect supervision of the agricultural de-
partment The experiments will be
conducted by the agricultural depart
ment, and the expense will be paid
from a fund other than that providing
for the immense irrigation project
which the government has undertaken
in this district.
| 1t is believed the results to be ac-
complished by the experimental farm
will prove of much benefit to farmers
who will occupy the tracts in the irri-
gated area Not only is the subject OF
irrigation new to practically all OF the
new settlers, but to very large pro-
portion Of other farmers who reside IN
this portion Of the state.
/ The work to be done under the SUI
pervision Of the agricultural depart
ment will prove all the more valuable
! to the farmers of this region because
of the local character Of the work. Inc
| experiments will be carried on at
point where the farmers in this entire
| region can watch the progress beng
made and the methods employed, thus
proiting 10 the fullest extent.
| The best methods Of irrlgatlng the
| land, and the best and most prohtable
crops to raise and other matters of
vital importance to the farmers OF THIS
region in general will be thoroughly
demonstrated on the experimental
| farm.
There is not the slightest doubt that
| the result of the experiments Will
prove invaluable and assist greatly IN
the development of the immense area
! of agricultural land which composes
what is known as the Belle Fourche
| irrigation project Of the government.

THOU SANDS OF LIVES SAVED
BY "Mother's Medicine Chest and
Patent Prescript;ons

Commenting on attacks made by
certain Eastern publications on some
of the best known and most valuable
of the worlds proprietary medicines,
the Committee on Legislation of the
Proprietary Association says:
"All through the country districts,
in every state of the Union, you will
find in the farm houses the old family
remedies, sometimes called patent
medicines, many of which have been
in use in the same household for gen.
erations. Among such people the old
fashioned proprietary medicine, al
ways at hand with full printed in
structions for use, Is one of the neces-
stiles Of life
ITO families in the country many
miles from doctor such remedies are
invaluable. Mothers medicine chest
has saved many life and met many
q threatening sickness at the thresh-
hold and turned it out of doors. So
far from constituting selfprescription,
as is often pretended, acquaintance
with a patent medicine often Obvl-
ates the necessity of such step; for
here is a prescription already made
up. the effect of which is well known.
One Of the greatest advantages of
such medicine is that its constant for
mula gives it the character of single
drug, so far as uniformity of result is
concerned, and the people who use 1t
know from experience just what they
can count on-which is more than can
be said of many physicians prescrip-
tions frequently obtained at far
greater cost and trouble"

The movement of spring wheat 10 mar
ket is now in full swing and materially
exceeds that of last year. The Canadian
crop is being shipped in large quantities
and exerts a heavy pressure on the alb
sorbing power of foreign markets. Under
these circumstances one would naturally
look for lower price level, but in spite
Of the free movement buying by outsiders
has been Of sufficient strength to give the
market a rather stiff undertone.
We are looking for, and for some time
have expected that the pressure of new
wheat would cause some decline, and
with this idea in view we believe traders
should be prepared to take advantage of
bulges and hard spots to make sales for
moderate turns.
The Canadian wheat crop, while large,
is not so great an item as to dominate
the permanent course Of prices, but before
its influence is spent it will probably
prove of enough importance to depress
prices in American markets to "a point
where good purchases may be made for a

Have Women GenIue7

Why is it that women have not dis
tinguished themselves as creative ar
fists? Mrs. Chesson can mention
only two great" women poets, Sap
pho and Christina Rossetti. Though
all women learn how to paint in wa
ter colors at school, are there any
great" women painters? Has there
ever been any? Rosa Bonheur can
hardly be called great. There are no
women painters of the class Of Ra
phael or Duerer.
In music also, so far as creative
work goes, women are, to use vul
gar phrase, mot in it." No woman
ever wrote a great oratorio or a first
class opera. In the art of fiction,
perhaps, they stand highest, though
even there the characteristic faults
of women artists keep them from the
first rank.
The reason for his seems to be that
women lack the essential quality for
all great art; they lack restraint
They are afraid to curb their muse.
they fave not thV courage, If they
ever have the desire, to go through
their work with pruning knife and
remove every superfuity. Christina
Rossetti is great because she pos
sesses this power to take pains

Hints to Young Writers.

Invariably write on both sides of the
sheet. The printer is always happy
when you do this. 1t keeps him from
swearing.
Never write plainly. 1t would give
the printer heart disease and the cor
oner might hold you responsible for
his death.
If you cannot spell word leave it
to the printer He has plenty of time
to consult the dictionary. whereas
your time may be very valuable.
Never forget to close a death no
tice by extending your sympathy to
the family. 1t looks well in print, and
then you may not have time to write a
personal letter Of coincidence.
Make as many fiourishes as possible
in your writing. If there is one thing
a real. printer loves it is to wrestle
with fiourishes.
Always wait until the last minute
before turning in your copy. Every.
body about a newspaper Office has
time to enjoy rush at the final mo-
ment.
Never get to the Office any earlier
