PRIsONERs'
 SENTENCES COMPUTED

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 16.-Gov. ernor Sam Stewart today commuted the sentences of forty-two prisoners in the state prison. Among these were two men serving 99 year sen- tences, one of whose term was cut to twenty years and the other to not less than eighteen nor more than twenty-nine. The communications are subject to approval by the state board of pardons.
 Walter Whitworth, who killed Adolph Slevin while foreman of the Great Gillette and Reeder ranch in Northern Montana, and his ten-year sentence made indeterminate between three and ten, and George Melville, who slew a neighbor at Bald Butte in a row over Melville's wife in 1907 had his twenty year term changed to between nine and twenty.

OOUbLE-HEAOER
 AT THE MOOSE

Moose hall was crowded with spec tators last evening to witness the big double-header game of basketball be- tween the Moose and Ft. Liscum first teams and the Moose and Fort Lis cum second teams. Both games were hotly contested from the first toss-up of the ball, and for two hours the spectators were treated to a magnifi- cent exhibition of ball playing.
 In the first half the Moose team outplayed their antagonists at every point; but in the second half the Fort Liscum team returned the com- pliments, and gave a pretty exhibition of team work. The ball was in their territory the greater part of the time and baskets were piled up with great frequency. The game ended with the Moose team winner 37 to 30. .'f..
 In the game between the second Moose team and the Fort Liscum second team, some good snappy work was exhibited at times. The boys from the Post played fine game but were outclassed by their opponents, who had received more practice, and |the game ended 43 to 21 in favor of the Moose team.
 The line of the teams was as fol- lows:

In our earnest endeavor to leave

in the chemical department labora-

These little wonder workers not only

necessity of preparedness. when this

the ages of history and note the re-

lifted from the valleys OF the Danube

flap his wings and return to his native

CHINESE MEDICAL MEN
WANT FOOT BINDING STOPPED

PICKING, Dec. 15.-The ministry Of
interior, prompted by Chinese medical
men with western scientific training.
has just issued circular TO PROVING
ial officials calling attention to the
edicit issued ten years ago against
foot binding and urging them to put it
into effect. In remote sections the
practice is almost as general as it
ever was, and 1t is no uncommon sight
to see young girls with bound feet
even in Picking and other North China
cities where the practice never was as
much in favor as in the south.
Missionaries throughout China have
discouraged the practice to some ex.
tent by announcing that girls with
small feet would not be admitted to
mission school.
Rewards are now to be offered to
family and clan chiefs who succeed in
stamping out footbinding among the
persons under their patriarchial juris-
diction.
