New oeyser in Yellowstone Park.

For few days past there have been
indications of an eruption of some
kind near the Fountain hotel in Vel
lowstone park, says dispatch from
Mammoth Hot Springs, WyO. Now a
new and magnificent geyser has bro
ken out in full force about 100 feet
north of the regular Fountain geyser
near Fountain hotel. This new geyser,
which does not appear to affect any of
the others in that vicinity, played to a
height of $50 to 200 feet, throwing off
immense quantities of hot water, mud
and steam. The new geyser does not
play regularly as does Old Faithful,
but at short intervals, the eruptions
occurring five or six hours apart, and
lasting about one hour.

Many a mother is busy these days
getting her wee ones off to school, and
the morning is the busiest time of all,
when they must have their ribbons
tied and frocks buttoned, and tiny
lunch put up for noon or recess. And
of course, these small scholars need a
lunch basket in proportion to their
own diminutive size. What could be
better than a Kate Greenaway bas'
ket, with one of the little nursery
figures on it-real company on the
road to school? The little girl catch
ing butterfly out in the grass will be
a pretty decoration on a tile mating
basket.
The mating comes by the yard,
and is to be cut in pieces-two pieces
for the cover and two pieces for the
bottom of the basket, each four by
six inches. The sides are four by six
long for the long ones, and four inches
square for the short ones. The cover
and bottom are made double for extra
strength. All edges are bound over
with green raffla, in a plain, overland
over stitch. then sewed together.

means of carbon paper, then go over

NO Effort Was Made to Get the
Vote Out.

When the votes cast in the tax levy
election today are counted tonight it
will be found that the proposition to
increase the city's levy by two mills
has been defeated There can be no
doubt as to this, as up to 8 o'clock
this afternoon only a total of about
265 votes had been polled, while it
would require 81 affirmative votes to
carry the levy.
At o'clock this afternoon 206 votes

the total vote polled today will moi
exceed 500, and even the most san
quine said the total vote would not
reach 600. This, of course, spells de
feat for the proposed new levy. The
polls close at O'Clock this evening.
