FORM LONGEVITY CLUB.
Members Would Attain Long Life
Through Mental Process.

Chicago, April 30.-In it's career
Chicago has boasted of many distinc.
| tions, but it has remained for a group
OF women to bring to it the newest
distinction-that of having the only
club OF its kind in the world. 1t is
the National Longevity club. Mrs. Z.
V. Morgan and Mrs. G. H. Besely are
the moving spirits.
Th1s club proposes to inject a new
virus of ideas into Chicago's veins.
Its first meeting was held Saturday in
the Masonic temple, and Mrs Morgan.
the president, made some interesting
remarks. She said that if anyone
would think the right kind of thoughts
and get youth in her mind she would
get young in the face and secure a
good parcel of longevity in the bar
gain.
Mrs. Morgan said those busy little
molecules of which the body is CON-
posed were changing our bodies and
giving us a new one every year.
The mistake people made, she said,
was not taking advantage of this
change and changing their minds with
new thoughts, which meant new life.
New ideals and conceptions, she main
tained, would make us look younger.
The purpose of the club is to define
the spiritual body, and conform to the
laws of health through mental pro-
cess, thus gaining longevity. It will
endeavor to organize similar clubs all |
over the country.

A letter of a gratifying nature to
the people of Billings was received
yesterday by l. D. O'Donnell giving
assurance of a gift of $4,000 from Mrs.
Billings and her son, Frederick Bill
ings, to the Y. M. G. A. fund. This
kindly bequest practically assures the
erection of a Y. M. G. A. building, as
the large subscriptions already In
were bringing up total that made
success very probable
The numerous donations made by
Mrs. Billings and her family to needy
enterprises of public nature here
have added not little to the develop
ment of the city and to the progress
and comfort of it's citizens. A gift of
$4,000 enabled the Congregationalists
to construct the fine church that is
a pride to them and a credit to the
city. Another gift of $4,000 secured
the construction of Billings first school
house, now known as the old North
side school. Afterwards the beautiful
library was built as a memorial TO
the son and brother whose early busi-
ness career here came TO such an un.
timely end. And now it is a building
for the benefit of the youth through
other means that they assist in build.

jack Stone, roundup cook, was
brought here from Junction on train
No l today, with bullet hole through
his right lung.
Last night he entered the place kept
by "Dick" Gay, at Junction, saying
that he had been shot. An examina-
tion showed at once the serious ma
ture of his wound and telegram was
sent to Billings for a physician to
meet him at the train. Doctor Clark
had the man taken to the hospital,
where his wound was examined and
dressed. The bullet entered the back
near the spine and passed through the
body, coming out in front. It's course
was through the lower lobe of the
right lung and just above the liver.
The physician cannot say at present
what are the mans chances of recov-
cry.
In what manner Stone was shot Is
been the result of a spree in which he
indulged. The shot is thought to have
been fred at him through a window
OF house, the inmates of which he
had offended. Although regarded as
certain that ha knows who wounded
him, Stone refHaes TO tell the PERSONS

CALLED HOME
TO EXPLAIN
MINISTER BOWEN is RELIEVED
AT CARACAS.
REASONS FOR THE RECALL
Must Make Explanation of CHARGES
Against Predecessor Loomis, Now
Acting Secretary.

Washington, April 3O.-Secretary
Taft has received instructions from
the president to call Minister Bowen,
now at Caracas, to Washington; Min
lister Russell, minister to Colombia.
to Caracas, and Minister Barrett, now
minister at Panama, to Colombia. 1t
is stated that if Mr. Bowen's action
relative to the charges affecting AS.
s1stant Secretary Loomis are not SUBJ
Ject to criticism, it is the presidents 8
purpose to send him as minister to
Chile and then probably as ambassa.
dor to Brazil.
The cablegram to Minister Bowen
instructing him to report to Washing.
ton forthwith was dispatched yester-
day by Acting Secretary Loomis. If
the minister is particularly active he
may catch the mail steamer Monday
next, which would permit him to
reach here about May 8, the day the
president expects to break camp and
start homeward. If he misses that
steamer the minister must wait at
least a week longer.
Mr.. Bowen will make his statement
to Secretary Taft, who is disposed to
deal with the case himself and not
permit it to remain open to add to the
bulk of important business which will
confront the president on his return
to the capitol.
