Major Hugh J. Gallagher, of the com

States army, who for the past year has
been acting as assistant purchasing
agent of the Isthmian canal commits
sion, has been detached from that SER
vice recently and today started for

to duty as purchasing agent upon the
reorganization of the Panama canal

his experience as commissary officer
in securing army supplies he practi-
cally organized the purchasing system
for the commission on it's present
lines. He has had considerable ex-
perience in such emergency work, fol

never studied elocution in my life.
There is, however, as great an art in
the use of the speaking voice as there
is in the singing voice. Why is this
fact ignored? One of the most import
tant aids to success in acting is the
use of the voice If some of our am
bilious ones would try a few breath
ing exercises in the mornings it would
be found beneficial. In speaking on
the stage there is the proper moment
for breathing, just as there is in
song. The unframed singer and I'M
trained speaker is ignorant of this,
and breathes al the wrong moment,
thus frequently spelling the sense of
the speech, or has no discretion as to
the economy of breath until the time
when it is most needed. Abdominal
breathing is the secret of control of
the voice. How, when, and where to
breathe must be mastered by the pro-
fessional who would become success
full. Even now, after all these years,

days ago in the Wisconsin asylum for

some sixty years ago.
Some time ago he offered his hand

Smooth Coins Are Good

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. l.
Smooth money is good and should be
accepted if it is in common circulation
and appears to be genuine, is the YER
dict of the jury in the suit brought in
the municipal court by Ernest Blan-
chard against the Minneapolis street
railway company for $500 damages.
Two years ago the officials of the
company ordered conductors to refuse
money that was badly worn and the
denomination Of which could not be
recognized at sight. Blanchard was
the first man to test the company's
order. He boarded an Eighth and
Central car at Bridge square and
rendered smooth quarter as his fare.
The conductor refused the money, and
when Blanchard refused to give other
money, the conductor elected him from
the car in view of a crowd of passen-
gers and pedestrians.
The case was tried Tuesday before
Judge c. L. Smith and the jury
awarded Blanchard 1851. The case
will probably not be appealed.

IMPORTANT DAY FOR THE BREWERS
QUESTION OF FREE BEER OR NO
FREE BEER WILL BE
DECIDED.

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 1-Tnis is
one of the most important days, in the
life Of the 400 or more employees of
the twenty-four breweries of Cincin-
natl, Covington and Newport, for today
the question of free beer or no free
beer will be definitely decided by their
Brewers union No u, the Bottlers'
and Beer Drivers Union No. 1919 and
the Beer Drivers and Stablemens
Union No. IT'S, and were under an
agreement with the owners of the
breweries, regulating the working
hours, wages etc, for the year ending
with January 81.
A few weeks ago the brewers, acting
in harmony with each other, submit
ted to their employees two propositions,
leaving it to them to accept or reject
either one, the proposition accepted by
a majority of the union to be binding
under an agreement for the coming
year. One of the propositions was
that the wages should be increased one
dollar a week all around, but all other
conditions, both as to hours and other
wise, shall remain as heretofore. The
second proposition was that the wages
shall be increased one dollar a week
all around, and the hours of labor re-
duced from nine hours to eight hours
with the proviso, however, that no
lunch time and no free beer shall be
granted and that any employee who
shall be found taking or drinking beer
during working hours, shall be subject,
upon demand of the employing brewer
to expulsion from the union
The men at the different breweries
did not hesitate long in making their
decision, which was almost unani-
mously in favor of longer working
hours, combined with free beer. To-

BAN ON ELOPERS.
Indian Agents Order Causes Many
Arrests at Crow Agency.

CROW AGENCY, Mont, Feb. l.
The recent elopement of Long Ear with
Mrs Crooked Arm seems to have pre-
cipitated an epidemic among the par
of st. Xavier mission along the Big
Horn. AS the result of an exceeding
ly diligent search by the Indian police
for Indians who have deserted their
squaws and families and eloped with
other squaws, some fifteen bucks are
now languishing in the bastile presided
over by Chief of Police Big Medicine,
charged with desertion and non-sup-
port.
So many broken hearted squaws
have appeared before the Indian agent,
Reynolds, complaining that life seemed
empty without their recreant spouses,
that the agent has been compelled to
issue an order to bring in all wife de-
serters and clippers, with the result
that the Jail is now densely popu-
lated with low-spirited bucks.
In the hope of making them better
husbands the deserters have been put
to work cutting and hauling ice, there
being at present a great shortage of
help.
Word has been received here that
Long Ear and the Grant Mrs. Crooked
Arm are at the Flathead reservation,
where they have been Toasted and

brought back to their own reservation.

There is probably no actor upon
