evening for the purpose OF ratlfylng
the work of the committee appointed
a week previous to frame a constitu-
tion, and to start the club on its way.
There were a great number present,
discussion was free, and the spirit OF
unity and harmony prevailed.
The meeting was called to order by
Temporary Chairman Hawley. After
the minutes of the previous meeting
were read, tie chair called for re-
port of the committee that had been
appointed to frame constitution
and bylaws. The report was read by
DR.. S. X. Campbell. The constitu-
tion and bylaws that were prepared
were adopted without dissenting
voice. The committee presented a
resolution declining to select the
officers for the first year, and asked
that the officers be nominated and
elected in open meeting.
The meeting than took up the mat
ter of electing officers. The following
officers were elected: Fl. G. Hawley,
President: H. E. Marshall, Vice Pres
ident; Dick McQuitty, Secretary;
II. E. Kirby, Treasurer. The con-
stitution also provides for a board OF
trustees, whose duties shall be to
look after the property OF the CLUB,
and to enter into contracts on beha'l
of the club. The members chosen Tor
the board of trustees were Benjamin
Urner and A. G. Graves.
After the election of the officers the
club took up several matters OF III
terest. A committee, consisting OF
A. r.. Anderson, A. G. Graves and T.
c. Dreyer, was elected as a standing
committee to look after the selection
of site for the experimental farm
and to confer with the railroad com
pany in the matter. The Milwaukee
road is interested in the establish
ment of this farm and the company
is willing to aid in the project.
1t was also decided that the club
should have button or badge that
would be expressive Of the live in
terest taken in the welfare OF the
town. The selection of the button
and number to be ordered, were left
with the officers.

tive members that all citizens of the
town vicinity will join, and make

BARN BURNS
Large Barn of the Smith Bros. Near
Martinsdale Goes up in
Smoke Heavy Loss.

The large barn belonging to Smith
brothers near Martinsdale, and one
of the best barn buildings on the
Musselshell was burned to the ground
last Friday morning, the loss being
complete. Seventeen head of horses
together with harness, feed and about
$1,000 worth of sheep pelts were also
consumed.
The cause of the fire is not def
nately known. At about 5 o'clock in
the morning, Jap, who was one of
the hands on the ranch, noticed the
fire coming from the side of the barn
on which the horses stood. He i'm
mediately gave the alarm, but help
was useless, for as soon as the door
was opened, the flames belched forth
like furnace, and already all the
horses had been killed. H. R. Holley
of Billings, who was at the ranch at
the time, states that the heat became
so intense that it was impossible to
even approach the building.
The barn was circular in shape, and
about 200 feet in diameter. The es-
timated loss is about $4,000. There
was about $4,000 insurance on the barn
and stock.
Some advance as the theory OF the
fire that horse with it's hoof struck
match that had fallen from the
pockets of one of the workmen which
ignlted the hay. No other reason can
be given.

THE Sklrrrn>S WHITE LIE.
What Happened at Night and What
 the Passenger Was Told.

the Passenger Was Told.
 It was dirty night, to use a sailor phrase, and the talk in one corner of the smoking room drifted to events at sea and the childlike faith that passen- gers repose in navigators.
 Said the scientist who had been col lecting specimens on a coral reef:
 live often heard men and women say they felt so safe with Captain So And-so, and I've wondered, too, wheth- CT their sense of security would still tc retained if these favored travellers knew exactly what happened on ship board during voyage. For my own part, I have more confidence than ever in captain of my acquaintance since 1 learned that he could tell white lie when it was necessary to calm the fears of nervous traveller. It so hap psned that one foggy night 1 was awakened by the sudden stoppage and reversal of the engines. I jumped out of my bunk, went on deck and was told by the second officer that we had had a narrow squeeze. 1t appeared that we had nearly run down schoon- CT as she silently crossed our bows and disappeared into the haze.
 Next morning a woman passenger who sat at the captains table asked him whether the engines had been stopped and reversed, and he replied: Yes; we sometimes do this to test the engineers watch and see if our ma- ehinery is in proper order. We do it at night so as to create no excitement Then he got the woman to describe what she had heard and asked her. Did you find much time between the stopping and reversing?'
 "tNo,' she replied.
 "'Then,' said the skipper, that show ed how well everything was working, did it not?
 "When I got the shippers ear told him confdentially that I didn't think the schooner's engines had worked as well as ours and he remarked that it might have been worse. Whether he meant the lie or the incident didn't inquire but I suspect it wasn't the lie."-New York Post.

Manila. Feb. 1S.-Ten thousand troops under the command of Generals Daniel H. Brush and Ramsay D. Potts directing respectively the blue and the "red' armies, were ordered to en- gage in the, extensive maneouvers in the western parts of the island of Lu- Zon. According to the rules of the game, the blue army is the defending force, and the 'red'' takes the offen- sive. The program Of the maneuvers permitted a landing of the 'red'' army at any accessible point betweenl Subig bay and the Lingayen gulf, on the west coast of LuZOn, in the province of Zambales Major General William P. Duvall, commanding officer of the army in tae Philippines, is the umpire of the maneuvers. The department of Luzon is under the command of Major General William H. Carter. A curious effect of the maneuvers has been the alarm shown by the native inhabitants of some of the villages and towns in the ttwar' district Believing that real war had broken out, they fled to the mountains.

LAW OF GRAVITY VIOLATED.
Conditions Under Which Water Ae-
 tuaiIy Flows Upward.

Conditions Under Which Water Ac-
 tuaily Flows Upward.
 ''Water seeks it's level' is an ex- pression heard sc frequently as to be almost trite, and yet the law has it's exceptions. There are conditions un- der which water actually flows up- ward and rises above it's source. If a glass tube be. dipped into water, the column inside will be above the level of the surrounding surface. Moreover. if tube of half the diameter be sub stituted the column doubles it's height. The water creeps along the inside of the tube, owing to the adhesion, and eorins a cup shaped depression at the EOp.
 An explanation is not difficult. 1t an be proved mathematically that if he diameter Of q circle be diminished one-haf the circumference is also re- duced to that extent, while the area is one-fourth of it's former value. The circumference of the column of water being reduced one-half, its contact with the glass, and hence the adhesive force, is also diminished to that extent, while the cross section, and hence the weight, is decreased to a fourth of what it was before. Therefore the sec ond column can be twice the height of the first, without exceeding the lifting power.
 Remarkable as the underlying prin- ciples of this phenomenon undoubtedly are, nature made use of them long be- fore man made their discovery Every tree and flower adds it's testimony. The core of tree or plant, instead of being a single open channel, consists of a spongelike substance containing many miniature tunnels, through which the sap and moisture collected by the roots flow upward in small riv ulets, rising higher and higher in sheer defiance of the great law of gravity.--S't.
