MYSTERY PEARLS PLAY PART
IN LIFE OF BARON'S FAMILY
Legend Says They Were Given e
German Ambassadors Ances-
tor by Goblin.

Berlin.-A mysterious string OF
pearls plays a remarkable role in the
history of the family Of Baron Ago
Won Nathan. German ambassador to
the United States, according to baron
ess Louise decentralization, aunt Oc
the ambassador.
a legend says the pearls, which are
in the possession Of the Silesian
branch of the family, were presented
by a goblin in 1883 to Baroness Eva
Regina Nathan in the ancestral castle
at Militsch, in Silesia.
One night, the legend goes, while
the baroness was beside the cradle OF
her firSt-born child, a goblin rose up
out of the ground and asked her to
move the lamp to some other corner
of the room. He explained that the
oil from the lamp was dropping on
the bed of his grandchild, which, in
visible to human eyes, was directly
underneath. The baroness %Obligingly
complied with the request of the SUI
pernatural visitor.
Nine days later the grateful goblin
reappeared and made her a present
Of a string Of pearls. He said they
would bring luck to the family as
long as their color was unchanged
and they remained in the possession
of the Nathan family. SHOULD the
pearls change color, however" he
warned, cit means that the head OF
! some branch of the family will die"
The story continues that in 1916
Joachim Nathan, in an alteration
with other members of the family as
to the material of which the pearls
were made, mutilated one of them
ThereupOn there was an earthquake
accompanied by lightning, killing five
persons on the. Nathan estate.
In 1850 a sister Of the then OwneI
Of the pearls was in financial strait
and offered them tO the gr~andfatheI
of the present ambassador. The lat
ter, however, restored them to BIZ
Silesian cousin, their rightful owner
It is claimed that the pearls still
continue to change color when death
occur in the family. They are treas
ured carefully at Militsch as a tails
man, the continued possession Q
; which is TO bring luck to the family.

Scots Plan Festival
in Canadian Rockies

Banff, Alberta.-With a hundred
medals of gold, silver and bronze Of
fered for supremacy in singing, dane
ing, games and piping, the Scottish
communities in the Canadian west are
looking forward with keen interest to
the Highland gathering and Scottish
music festival which is being organ
lied for the first week III September
at Banff, and to which the Prince Of
Wales has given his patronage. AL
though there have been highly sue
cessful Scottish games held in various
parts of Canada, these have been
mostly of local interest and lasting a
single day, but the Banff gathering is
planned to last three days and will
have a national character. Each OF
the IL Highland regiments In Canada
has been authorized to send a piper to
compete for the trophy for regimentai
piping offered by E. w. Beatty, presi-
dent Of the Canadian Pacific railway
Many Of the finest opponents OF
Highland dances in western Canada
have intimated their intention Of TAX
ing part and the tourist capital Of the
Canadian Pacific Rockies will be
ablaze with tartans. Tossing the
caber, putting the shot, throwing the
hammer, and all the games in which
brawny Highlanders are expert win
of course be conducted.
Supplementing these features will
] be a series Of concerts in the great
ballroom Of the Banf Springs hOte8
for which several of the best known
Scottish singers have been engaged
In addition to these Scottish ele
ments of games and music another
Highland feature will be introduced
namely, folksOngs and dances Of thu
Highland tribes Of Indians whose hunt
ing grounds were from time immemO
rial in the neighboring Canadian Pa
cifc Rockies. These Indians will b
gathered in a picturesque encamp
ment, and with their tepees and varie
gated costumes will add a note o
color to the gathering which will max
the affair unique Of its kind.

County Tax Lew


The county commissioners met on
Monday, the 18th inst, and made the
tax levy for the current year as fol-
lows:
State tax, 21a mills; sinking fund,
1 mill; geenral fund, Il mill; contin-
gent fund, 2 mills; bridge fund, 1
mill; road fund, 1 mill; school fund,
3 mills-total, IL mills.
One-half mill was also levied on
stock, when assessment is $500 or
over, but this amounts to only a NOM
inal sum all together.
The one mill road tax does not ap-
ply to property in Bozeman, as the
property is subject to street tax, to
be levied by the city council.
In addition to the foregoing, how
ever, Bozeman school district has q
levy Of four mills this year-two for
interest and sinking fund on bonds,
and two for additional school facil-
tiles during the past school year.
Deducting the one mill road tax
and adding the four mills special
school tax, we have IA mills on the
dollar to pay en- all assessable prop
erty within the city limits. To this
will have to be added the levy fol
city purposes which, if as big a;
last year, will bring the levy on city
property to 25 mills, or 215 per CEN
on the assessed valuation.
