If Senator W~ellington's bill creating
the grade of ~vice-admiral becomes a
law it is said President Mckinley will
settle the Sampson-Schley controversy
by appointing both to that rank. Per-
haps even then the contest will be re-
newed, as the president will neces-
sarily have to mention one of the two
first. However, as this seems to be the
only way of pouring oil on the naval
waters it is worth while to try the ex-
pertinent.

BY means of the electrical discharges
from steel wires attached to tailless
kites Of the Eddy type William A
Eddy, the kite expert, believes he has
proved hat a storms location can be
determined, whether it be in the east.
ern or western hemisphere. A recent
experiment made by Mr.. Eddy al
Bayonne, n. j., showed the intensity
and direction of a storm several hur.
bred miles north of Chicago. M.r
Eddy, as a result of this investigation
believes that the moment storms
gather, either in Manitoba or Siberia
the great storm ~incubators, they car
be instantly detected in New York
John Milne, the earthquake expert
can tell the instant an earthquake oc.
ours, whether it is in Hawaii, India
or Mexico. Mr.. Eddy proposes to dc
the same with storm centers. Eddy's
discovery means not only that a mari.
ner can determine the atmospheric
condition of his course before leaving
port, but that while en- route he car
detect and steer clear of severe storms
1t also means the elimination of suct

Last year, after having my little

physician for an obstinate case OF
eczema, l resorted to the Cuticura
Remedies, and was SO we'll pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the phys'-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble. We find that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are a valuable house

The state superintendent of public
schools in Nebraska has decided that
the Bible may be read in the public
schools. The matter was laid before
him in a case from Gage county,
where one family wanted the teacher
enjoined from using the book, al
though all others favored it. In his de-
cision Mr.. Jackson said: There
seems to be nothing in the laws of Ne
braska that would prevent the simple
reading of the Bible in our public

this enlightened age and Christian
land the public school teacher ought
not to be deprived of reading the Bible
or of repeating the Lords prayer"

The Butterflies Of Montana.

The teachers of nature study and
the lovers of outdoor life will be in
terested in the latest contribution to
Montana science, prepared by Prof.
NJ. ]. Elrod, of the University of Mon
tana. 1t is bulletin No. 80 of the uni
yersity, entitled, The Butterflies OF
Montana" with keys for the determi-
nation of species. 1t is dedicated to
the boys and girls of Montana, who
delight in roaming the hills or in fol-
lowing the banks of the streams. The
bulletin is fully illustrated, contain
ing one colored and thirteen black
and white plates, and twenty-five fig
ures.
In the preface the author states that
the bulletin was prepared to assist
teachers and others in Identifying
specimens, and he hopes to stimulate
the study of butterflies by placing this
very needful help in the hands Of all
interested. Like afl the university
bulletins, the present one is sent out
gratuitously by the institution upon
spplication to the author or the uni
versity officers. We are assured that
Prof Elrod would like copy OF this
work in the hands of every pubic
school teachers and every high school
student of biology.

persons are aware of the immense
amount Of observation and research re-
ouired in its preparation. AS the au'

MYSTERY IN
THIS MURDER
RANCHER NEAR TROY SHOT BY
MAN WHO WAS HIS
GUEST.

Kalispell, March 26.-John H. PUNK
EFT, a Kootenai rancher, was murder.
ed at his ranch three miles from Troy.
on the north side of the Kootenai riv-
er, on Tuesday. Two men are under
arrest for the crime.
The sheriff, O. P. Gregg, Coroner
Taylor and County Attorney McKeown
went up to Troy Tuesday night. There
was no inquest held but the two men
arrested were given preliminary
hearing in the justice court. An au-
topsy was held, however, and the
cause of death established. The man
accused of the murder is named Kuhn.
a tailor by trade, formerly of Spokane.
The story of the crime CLEANED from
one present at the trial and on the
ground was about as follows:
In September last John H. Punk
EFT, having been to LeOnia returned
to Troy with a woman whom he had
made Mrs. Plunkett. With them was
Kuhn, who had been with the woman
when Plunkett took her up. Plunkett
took his new wife to the splendid
ranch he owns and Kuhn was also in.
vited to the ranch to enjoy the hunt
ing and fishing. Kuhn was installed
III little cabin IS yards from PUNK
etts house. He is little fellow and
knew very little about helping on a
ranch, but he was allowed to stay on
the farm from month to month. doing
chores and boarding With the Punk
etts.
A few days ago the Plunketts de-
cided to get rid Of Kuhn, and told him
the constable would take him of if he
did not leave the place. Kuhn de-.
handed wages for the six months he
had been there. and Quarreled fierce
ly with Plunkett, threatening to kill
him.
On Tuesday Kuhn came back from
a trip to Troy with companion, and
the quarrel was renewed. In fear Of
his life, Plunkett sent a neighbor CIR
named Drake to ask assistance of hi!
nearest neighbor, Mr.. Wallace, tt
tell him to hurry to his aid. as h
feared Kuhn and the other man wer'
going to kill him. Like good neigh
Dor Wallace fastened over to hi
friends home. Just before he cam
in sight of it, Wallace says he hear
two shots; and as he came to the edg
of the clearing he saw Kuhn, rifle a
shoulder standing at a window of tn
Plunkett house and exchanging shot
with some one inside.
Wallace ordered him to drop nj
gun as soon as he got within reac
of him. Kuhn did so, but remarked
"everything l did was in self-defense.
Taking the rifle, Wallace ordere

Kuhn to go to his cabin and stay there.
He then went into the house. AS he

ed out with a shot gun, and said she
was going to kill Kuhn, but the lat
ter got out of sight. Inside the house
Plunkett was just SINKING down into q
heap, having received his death
wound. Wallace took the two men,
Kuhn and his companion, an unknown
German, to Troy and sent for the sher-
iii and coroner.
