HAWAIIAN PLAY

Sophus Michaelis, the eminent Da-
nish author who is 20 leave on the
Wilhelmina on Wednesday, is the au-
thor of "A Son of the People" which
has made such a success this winter
in New York at the New Theater.
This play, which has been so favor
ed by the dramatic critics in New
York, is story of the French Revo-
luton and was first produced at the
Irving Place theater IN New York, in
German; but recently was adapted in
English and will be played during the
rest of the season at the New Theater.
An all star company will produce
the play next fall at one of the Broad
way theaters. Michaelis is very much
impressed with the islands and intends
to come here again to write a play
typical of Hawaii He has been the

In 1895, the year of the biggest range
beef receipts on record, the top price
of the season was 1910 The total
number of range cattle on the Chicago
market that season was 43O, 526 head,
and the top price of S.. 10 was secured
by a northern Montana shipment
owned by Simon Pepin, of Havre,
From 1900 to the present time the
top price for range beef has been from
S5.O5 in 1903 to 1926 in 1909, the rec
ord being made in nearly every case
by a shipment from northern Mon
tana.
The record of top range beef prices
at. Chicago for season after season
might be continued with the same re-
subtitle award of the prize to a north
ern Montana shipment. With receipts
ranging from 142 900 to 43O, 900 in the
several seasons, the beef product of
northern Montana has commanded a
better price than was paid for cattle
from any other section of the range
country.

TOP Of THE MARKET.
Range Beef Honors Awarded to
North Montana Product.

In an effective advertisement pre-
pared by a Chicago livestock commits
sion firm appears IN instructive ex-
hibit, to the effect that it sold last
season the highest priced range steer
ever offered in the open market. The
steer weighed lao pounds, and sold
at 1925 per cwt., a record price for
range beef. 1t was a northern Mon
Jana steer, bearing the brand of Ban
natyne Bros, of Collins, whose range
is in the western part of Chouteau
county.
The supremacy of northern Montana
range beef is SO generally conceded
that no accurate record of sales has
been kept in recent years, but it was
formerly the custom of the River Press
to publish the top-of-the-market hon
ors captured 10y beef shipments from
this part of the state. For several
years prior to 1900 the record was
about as follows:
The range cattle receipts at Chicago
during the season of 1900 were about
142, 600 head, and the top price received
by any outfit was $5.35. This top
price of the season of 1900 was paid
for a northern Montana shipment
made by j. j. Barber, of the Milk
river country.
During the season of 1899 the range
cattle receipts at Chicago were 1873, 700
head, and the top price paid was $3.50.
The outfit that received this figure was
a northern Montana shipment owned
by John Survant, of Malta.
In 1893, according to the official fig
ures of the Union Stockyards COM
pany, range cattle receipts numbered
195, SAG head, and the top price of the
season was $500. 1t was paid for a
northern Montana shipment made by
Geo. Drabbs, of Hinsdale.
The total range cattle receipts at
Chicago in 1897 were 233, 53l head, and
the top price of the season was $3.50.
The cattle for which this price was
paid were shipped from Fort Benton
by 1. G. Baker, of Highwood.
The wear 1896 was a season of COM
paratively low prices for range beef,
$4.4O being the top figure in the Chi
cago market. The total range cattle
receipts that year were 272,775 head,
and 81. 40, the top price of the season,
was paid for a northern Montana ship
ment owned by Geo. Drabbs, OF Hins-
dale.

BILL NYE ON COMETS,

The comet is q kind OF astronomical
parody on the planet. Comets look
some like planets, but they are thin
ner and do not hurt so hard when
they hit anybody as a planet does.
The comet was SO called because it
had hair on it, l believe, but Of late
years the b%ald.hcaded comet is giving
just as good satisfaction everywhere.
The characteristic features of the
comet are: A nucleus, a rebulous
light or coma, and usually q luminous
train Or tail worn high. Sometimes
several tails are observed on one COM
ct, but this occurs only in flush times.
When l was young I used to think
I would like to be a comet in the sky,
up above the world so high, with
nothing to do but loaf around and
play with the little new.laid planets
and have q good time, but now
l can see where l was wrong. Comets
also have their troubles, their per
ihelions, their byperbolas and their
parabolas. A little over 300 years
ago Tyco Brahe discovered tn at com.
cts were e~xtraneous to our atmos-
phere, and since then times have i'm.
proved. I a see tn at trade ia stead.
Ter, and potatoes run less to tops than
they did before.
Soon after tina they discovered thai
comets all had more or less periodic
ity. Nobody knows how they got it.
All the astronomers had been watch
ing them day and night and didn',
know when they were exposed, bul
there was 20 time to talk and argue
over the question. There were zoe
or 300 comets all down with it At once,
It was Al exciting time.
Comets sometimes live to . great
age. This shows that the night sir
is not so injurious to the health a
many people would have Us believe,
The great comet OF 1880 10 supposed
to have been the one that was noticed
about the time OF Caesars death, a
B.. c and still, when it appeared IL
Newton's time, 100 years after its
first grand farewell tour, Ike said that
It was we'll preserved indeed and
seemed 20 have retained all its facul'
ties In good shape.
A late writer on astronomy said thai
the substance of the nebulosity and
the tail is of almost inconceivab,e
tenuity. He said this, and then death
cana TO his relief.

XB
A New Dip for Cattle.

The Oklahoma state board of agri-
culture has adopted a new dipping So
luton for cattle. The crude oil meth
cd has been abandoned on account of
its often injurious effect on steers. All
cattle shipped in from Texas must be
dipped in order to keep out Texas
fever by killing the ticks, which carry
the disease. The new dip is an arsen-
ical solution, much cheaper than the
crude oil, just as effective and less in
furious. 1t is made by boiling 10
pounds of commercial arsenic, "a
pounds of sal soda and one gallon of
pine tar in 40 gallons of water. It is
then increased to SO gallons by adding
water, and this solution is enough for
$50 gallons of water when mixed with
it. The cost is about a cent a gallon,
or about 25 cents per steer in dipping.
The only danger from the use of this
dip is hat a steer might accidentally
swallow some of the solution, a quart
of which would cause death.
