OF the school district met to- sell bonds
and award the contract for the build.
ing of the new school house. The
bonds were sold to the First National
Bank of White Sulphur with interest
at five per cent. The contract was
awarded to R. r. Lee of Harlowton.
Miss Catherine Peacock and two of
the telegraph operators were out for
a short spin on hand car one day
and were the victims of an accident.
Miss Peacock in some way lost her
balance and fell forward. Seeing this,
one OF the gentlemen attempted to
save her from falling beneath the car
by pushing her to the side. He sue
ceeded in pushing her so she fell out
side the rail- but in doing so, he him
self lost his balance and fell between
the rails. The car passed over his
body and rendered him unconscious
for some time. The girl escaped seri-
Gus injury and, aside from a few
bruises, they are not suffering much
from their queer experience.
Saturday evening occurred another
debate at the schoolhouse. This time
woman suffrage was discussed. All
the ladies were assigned TO speak on
the side favoring the measure, and
all the men on the other. The argu-
ments were ably presented by both
sides, but the ladies especially waxed
eloquent, with the result that they
! were given the decision. Since the
woman suffrage has been the talk of
the hour. The ladies maintained
that they were equal to the men in
all respects concerned in qualifications
for voting and contended that they
then ought to be given the right of
representation. The men, however,
argued that the ladies not only were
mans equal, but that they were so
superior in all respects that they
ought not be permitted to dabble in
politics, for politics have a degrading
, influence. 1t was classical debate
and showed much earnest thought on
both sides.
On Sunday afternoon Albert Haugan
and wife entertained their friends in
most pleasing manner at their home
at Lennep. All the family people
were guests and they all have praise
to offer for the splendid entertain
ment offered them.

Measuring the Suns Heat

Some months ago M. Nordmann, a
continental scientist, calculated, by the
aid of an apparatus of his own inyen-
ton, the temperature of a certain num-
Der of stars. The same instrument In a
modified form has now been used to
ascertain the temperature of the sun,
says the London Globe.
Some previous experimenters had
calculated the suns heat at $500 de-
grees centigrade. but M. Nordmann,
with the help of his apparatus, arrives
at the conclusion that this estimate
was below the mark, and that the tenn
perature of the sun is about 6,4S2 de-
grees. centigrade.
Attempts have also been made by
M. Nordmann to measure the suns
luminosity. He finds that each square
centimeter of the suns surface emlts
quantity of luminous rays equal to 31S,-
900 candlepower. Some idea of the
amount of luminosity which this repre-
sents may be gathered from the fact
that the most powerful electric arc
light known at the present time has an
illuminating power of barely 10000
candles.

to the Market street car, when he dis
covered that a small wallet which he

STATELY MATRON
As TRAGIC muse
Mrs. Francis Car0lan Will Pose
for Reynolds Portrait of
Mrs. Siddons
''Carmencita," by Sargent, to Be
Depicted by Mrs. w. K.
Vanderbilt Jr.

One of the most fascinating poses in
the Tableaux vivants. to be given at
the st. Francis the first week of April.
will be that of ''The Tragic Muse Mrs.
Siddons. by Sir Joshua Reynolds. which
will be taken by Mrs. Francis Carolan.
No one, perhaps, in this city is better
fitted for the part, as Mrs. Carolan,
who has often been likened to Mrs.
Patrick Campbell. has the pose and
carriage beautifully suited for a queen
ly tragical role. and the consensus of
opinion seems to be that as Reynolds
great picture she will look the tragic
muse to perfection, as she also bears a
remarkably strong resemblance TO the
original, Mrs. Siddons.
Mrs. Carolan is one OF the 10 who
will assist in making English night OF
the tableaux success. and she has
also been one Of those to offer her
time and labor toward pushing forward
the work begun by Mrs. Charles O..
Alexander.
English night will open with an exact
reproduction OF Reynolds famous pic
ture, THE MALL the personnel for
which will be decided upon this after
noon at the Burlingame club. BY the
end of this week the frame will be
put in place in the colonial ballroom
and the poses will go on there hourly
under the direction of Miss Harriet
Bogardus.
The only modern picture to be used
is that OF "Carmencita,. by Sargent, to
be taken by Mrs. w. K Vanderbilt Jr
Besides this. there will be one painting
of the seventeenth century by Sir Peter
Lely, in which Mrs. George Pope will

lSpecidt dispatch 10 ne SdHI
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., March 26.--
Colonel William f. Cody, better known
as Buffalo Bill, is here visiting his old
home for the first time in nearly 10
years. AS a result of the visit he and
Mrs. Cody have adjusted their domes-
tic difficulties an dtonight are as happy
as if they were married but yesterday.
The reconciliation was brought about
by Cody Boals, grandson of Colonel
and Mrs. Cody.
Nearly 10 years ago Colonel Cody.
while living at Cody, Wyo., brought
divorce proceedings against his wife,
alleging domestic incompatibility and
cruelty.
Mrs. Cody filed an answer charging
cruelty, failure to provide and numer-
Gus other offenses. The case got into
court and was partially tried when a
continuance was asked and granted
and since that time has hung on the
docket.

admitted enforcement of the contract

the contract void.

CLAIM TO COAL
LANDS UPHELD
BY SECRETARY
Attorney Replies to CLAWS Case,
Declaring That Ballinger
Favors Cunningham
Guggenheim Representative De-
nies That Large Sums Were
Advanced to Entrymen

10 have BalIinger take the witness
stand al once. He said that he did not
think the secretary should first put
other witnesses before the committee.
Besides. he could not say that his case
was closed until after he had an oppor-
tunity to examine Ballinger.
Nertrees replied at some length. He
declared that Brandeis and the other
counsel were present and conducting
what would ordinarily be considered
the prosecution only by sufrerance of
the committee. and il was for the COM
rnittee TO determine its course. and not
Brsndeis.
Vertrees declared that counsel for
Bsllinger had offered no objection to
the methods of the prosecution or OF
any Of the so called evidence it had
put in. He asserted that the other
side" had come TO the hearing with
lips proving no charges; no charges:
no charges-but with tongues leprous
with defamatory accusat tons No OBJ
lection had been offered to facts, infer
ences. fnsinuations or anything else.
Presidents Name Used
Fertrees said that not only the secre-
tary OF the interior, but the president
had been assailed in the proceedings
and he asked the poor privilege of
presenting our evidence in that manner
which would put most clearly 10 the
committee for final determination"
The attorney asserted that the law
yers on the other side had by label
ing nonsense as evidence" tried to tire
out and VeX the committee so that il
would call halt and they could set up
the cry OF having had no opportunity
TO present their case in full
The assault of Ballinger has been a
miserable failure" shouted Nertrees.
This is their last chance-their last
hope-that they can get a man on the
stand who can not by himself present
the case in orderly fashion. so that they
csn harass, IN the hope that something
may be drawn from him 20 bolster up a
failing cause"

Evidence of Official Acts

The evidence will be directed 10 the
conduct of BaIlinger himself, as "a leW-
yer, as commissioner of the general land

In addition to official documents the
witnesses who have any knowledge OF
the facts will be present to testify:
THE truth in connection with BaIlin-
gers action In the Cunningham claims
and his official action in all respects
where it has been assailed viii be
shown by the evidence.
Vertrees then went on to sketch what
he intended to show, beginning with
Ballinger's' appointment as commis-
sioner of the general land office in 1907
by President Roosevelt. He declared
that the secretary entered his present
Office under obligations to no one and
that never in private or public life~had
he in any way or through any agency
had any interest whatsoever in public
lands, or coal or minerals in Alaska.

Ballinger to produce those papers with
view of falsely asserting they were
not produced because they would IN
culpate him.

CLAWS Report Discussed

Bailinger's only interest, the attorney
declared, was as an officer of the gov
ernment. desiring TO do those things
best for the interest of the people The
attorney began at the first investiga-
ions made by CLAWS into the Cunning
ham claims. Upon the record and re-
port, he declared. it appeared to Balm
ger that the claims were entitled TO be
clear listed.
He believed it to be right then, he
believes it to be right now" declared
the attorney. He then declared that
upon an adverse report from CLAWS.
Ballinger himself would remove the
claims from clear listing. And no ef-
fort has been made to reinstate that
order TO this day.
The attorney pointed to the fact that
until Ballinger retired from the land
office no evidence had been found and
no report had been made aSsailing the
Cunningham claims. Ballinger had no
connection with the claims and had no
relations with the claimants until Sep
tember, 1908, when, at the request of
Cunningham and Smith. two of the
group, he presented an affidavit TO be
filed in the general office and presented
il in person to the secretary of the IN

New York Bankers Named

Steele then said that he knew only
the participants the Guggenheim
side These were Kuhn, Loeb e Co. of
New York. II. o. Havemeyer yr. and a
man named Wineberger. Just who par
ticipated on the Morgan side with ]. P.
Morgan & Co. the witness did not know.
After a long argument the copy of a re-
port by the Guggenheim expert on the
value of the Cunningham and other
Alaska coal claims was admitted in evil
dence.
Steele said that the report cost the
syndicate considerable money and he
did not think 1t ought to be made public
property. AS the witness had volun-
teered testimony before the senate COM
mittee on territories it was ruled that
the report became proper evidence. In
this report the GuggenheiIn engineer
discussed the advisability of "controll-
ing" this or that group of claims. The
entire report was not read.
