ARRESTED ON SUSPICION The Police Believe That the Raid Will Result In the Dlsoovery of a Number of btolen Articles. LOSEE MAXWELL, "SEIK oecial 5. ORANGES An arrest was made by Officer Bosa-; nlch which Is believed by the police to apt to lead to important results in discovery of many stolen articles. The prisoner gives his name as Charles "Belmont, and be is accused of stealing a keg of nails from the contractors, Surprenant Hinds. The nails were taken from a new house near the foun--dry and footprints In the snow led the way direct to Belmont's cabin not far ftway.

They notified Officer Bosanich, who investigated and found the nails In Belmont's house. He arrested him at once, and though Belmont wanted to settle the case with the carpenters who were willing to do so, since they had recovered their property, Officer Bosanich said: "Nit; If you fellows try to settle this any more, I'll throw you all In. Judge Fitzgerald Is the man to settle this." So he took his man to Jail, and Judge Fitzgerald fixed his bail at $50, which Belmont secured during the afternoon, B. Radefeld going security for his appearance on Monday at 10 o'clock. The neighbors of Belmont, which Is believed to be an alias name, suspected him of bejng the cause of the disap- pearance of many other articles.

So while he was in Jail Officers Bosanich 'and Stevens reconnoitered the house. They found enough to confirm suspicion but nothing to give absolute proof sufficient to oppose the ball bond. When Constable Conley heard of their discoveries, however, he secured a search warrant, sworn out by Carpenter Law, who lost a kit of tools in 'that neighborhood some months ago. Constable Conley and Assistant Chief O'Brien, armed with this warrant, made a thorough search of the cabin. In the several rooms they found stuff enough to stock a Junk shop.

Garden hose, clotheslines, planes, saws, ham- machinists' tools, laundry, old clothes, billiard balls and what not. Mr. Law was not able to identify any the property as his but the search was not so complete as the officers de- sired. Belmont was found up town and Conley put him under arrest again on suspicion of stealing the articles concealed In the house. Belmont is a German in appearance, and -Is a piano player and violinist, playing brief engagements at resorts in the bad-lands.

He was of stealing some music from one of the houses there and waa arrested but the case by paying for the music. He claims that the second hand dealer, McCutcheon, will clear him of the charges now preferred against him and 'that he is Innocent. The stuff found is be thoroughly. inspected to-day and those who have reported losses win be asked to Identify articles that were found, SEATS GOING FAST. Seedling Oranges, medium size, per dozen.

The time otherwise was used up on Thursday, but the allowance of four days would permit them to Bit Monday and Tuesday next if necessary. The work is being done very thoroughly and the illness of Appraiser Frank Strlck-faden has made it necessary to work slowly. The board, however, expect to complete the appraisement to-day. They have given special attention to equalizing valuations In all parts of the county and In the towns and cities particularly. Some have been increased and some have been cut down as near as possible to conform proportionately with market prices.

THE DAM ISN'T BROKEN. Genuine Improvemrnt In Trade Doesn't Come With a Terriflo Rush. New York, Feb. G. Dun Weekly Review of Trade will to-morrow say: Genuine Improvement in business does not come with a rush, like the breaking of a great dam.

The growth for some weeks past has been more encouraging, because in nearly all lines it has been gradual and moderate. The rupture of the steel rail and other combinations In the iron business has brought out a vast quantity of trade which has been held back and has set many thousands of men at work, while slow but steady gain In other great Industries has given employment to many thousands more, but the full effects will not appear until increased purchases by all these swell the distribution of goods. Meanwhile there is substantial ground for confidence that the months, which were regarded by many in the money market with serious apprehensions, have passed without disturbance and with steady gain in the position of the country and of the treasury. The breaking of the bonds which have restricted many branches of the Iron industry has been followed by an enormous increase in demand and In 'orders booked, and by the starting of many works. Purchases Of rails are' estimated at 1,000,000 tons within two weeks, whereas the production last year was 1,102,892 tons and sales said to be only 800,000, insure employment for works far eahaad, and eastern works are taking desirable con tracts at 118 ner ton.

Bars are unchanged. but orders for 900 cars by one railroad with numerous others, increase the de- "plates are-required for two great elevators, at Chicago, important contracts for export continue and American makers undersell foreigners in tin plate by JO cents and are selling cotton ties below 75 cents, ior which $1.10 was charged by importers; a year ago, Sales Of wool have been pounas in four weeks, against 22,360,800 pounds in the largest prevolus year, 1892, and the greatest establishments are believed to have supplied their possible wants for some months ahead, a single purchase of 1.300.000 pounds of South America cross bred being the most important notea mis week. Failures for the week' have been 296 against 27 last year. Bank CleRrlngs. New York, Feb.

Game Warden James Keown In com menting upon a recent article in the Standard, which gave the opinion that the catching of wild game such as deer and elk, waB not harmful and In need of prohibitory laws, could not agree with that opinion. He says that only a few examples of the past year, in this mediate neighborhood, must sumce to explode most thoroughly such a statement and not to mention the cows which are killed for the Bake of secur ing elk calves, three catches the past spring resulted as follows: Still Hul-Ing of Central Park caught nine elk calves, which he hoped to domesticate, not one of which lived but a few weeks. Jack Smith of this city secured 10 elk calves, but only one is now alive, and even a worse case is that of Thomas) Michener of the West Gallatin basin, who saved but one of 20 calves. Mr. Michener living In the Gallatin basin, is thoroughly familiar with the habits of the elk and with the other two cases mentioned had fresh milk cows so that proper food for the young elk calves was not lacking, but not one of these men, all old mountaineers, could save even one In 10 of the elk calves captured by them.

One man who secured three calves, saved one of them, but in all of the cases known to Game Warden Keown during the past year the average was not one-tenth of those originally captured. This la bad enough even though no cows were killed in capturing the young while in running the cows in the spring time when they are weak, it Is probable that many more never survived the excitement and struggling through the deep snow, which is necessary to overtake and capture the calves.

About this season of the year there are matrimonial festivities in the prin cipal towns throughout the land of the czar, and partners for life are chosen by a cumrlous method. Some person of importance in the district announces that the annual fete will be held at his house. Thither, at the appointed time, hasten the young men of the country side; thither come no less eagerly, but with -decorous tardiness, the maidens of the place.

There are dances andl songs, games and feasting, but all else is but the prelude to the great event, when chance is made the handmaids of love. At the arrival of the proper hour the hostess gives a signal, and withdraws into an apartment, accompanied by all the girls. The lasses are ranged upon long benches, where they pose, with nausrht in their smiling affability to suggest that their days of coquetry are at an end. The hostess "is supplied" with long strips of broadcloth, and with this she straightway muffles each and every maiden. She twists it oertiy over ana about the head until hair and features are hopelessly veiled; she winds it about the neck, the shoulders, the waist and on until the sprightly and lissome fisrure of the girl is merged in the rude outlines of a papoose, -mis is tne prep aration.

The action follows, wnen, one by one, in an order determined by lot, the young men of the party enter the room. Each in turn approaches the veiled row of loveliness and examines it. Eves and ears are useless; touch is everything. The puzzled suitor seeks to nenetrate the baffling folds and lo cute the oersonallty of his idol. When at last he has made his choice he Is privileged to remove the swaddling clothes ana Denoia tne identity 01 ma prize.

Then Is the consummation the mo- menr of ranture or desoair when soul answers soul in the love light of the eyes, or when disappointment speaks in the stifled sigh, or snows in tne averted eve. It is the law of custom that this twain should become man and wife. If the custom is broken a heavy forfeit must be raid by the unwilling person, This matrimonial lottery is said to re sult in as many happy marriages as those Instances where protracted court ships are considered necessary to con geniality in this contract for life.

No expense Is considered in making our markets Manager Rowe Explains Their Inability to Meet the Valley Kick-era at an Earlier ay "Come on. Boys." The troubles of the Deer Lodge football team have been oft ventilated in these columns' and' thechlef of them of late has been their alleged inability to secure a game with an Anaconda team. Their officials have made many complaints and In their latest plaint it Is asserted that the Anacondas don't want to play in their yard and they don't like 'em any more.

As the football team has not been in evidence recently Manager Rowe was looked up yesterday and questioned on the proposition. "Yes," said he, "there is a football team in Anaconda, a Junior team, that is, which was organized about one month ago. Pat Sullivan is captain and the personnel of the team is Just about the same as it was last summer. We have the making of a good team, but we could hardly be expected to Jump out and meet a team that has been playing ball all winter without some practice and training. Our team made a good record whenever it appeared, even though not always victorious, but we played ball, and we expect to do so again this season.

"The Deer Lodge boys seem to think they are the only parties to the contract and that we must meet them at their convenience. As a matter of fact, they have challenged us and we have the right to say when and where we will meet them. Though it was early, we suggested a date, Feb. 14, which they declined; then we named Feb. 22, but after some preliminary work found that some of our men were not in condition to play and could not be on that date.

Captain Sullivan asked a postponement until the following Monday to which Captain Rickards at first agreed, but subsequently declined, for the alleged excuse that some of his men could not get away. from work on the first day of the month. Now if Deer Lodge really wishes to test our 'nerves' I will make them a last offer. We will play the Deer Lodge Reubens a game of football in Deer Lodge on March 21, 1897, for the same consideration as before, and if necessary we will post a forfeit of 25 one week before the game to Insure our appearance on the grounds. The total of the expense which they were supposed to raise was $25 and I am informed that One of the leading citizens of Deer Lodge gave them the full amount.

"Some people in Deer Lodge doubt if we have a team here at all, but a year and a half ago they thought the same thing, but" after the game was played we had their scalps by a score of 4 to 0. Our team is not seeking a newspaper record, and we are perfectly willing to decide this matter on-; the gridiron, and will be most happy to accommodate the valley boys at our earliest convenience." GALLATIN veterans. The Annual Reunion of the Pioneers of the County Held In liozeman. Special Correspondence of the Standard Bozeman, Feb. 24.

Monday night the pioneers of Gallatin- county held their annual reunion in the opera house here, where a splendid programme of music and speaking was listened to by about a thousand people. The chairman was Alderson, editor of the Avant-Courier, who was one of the first settlers of this valley, and who between each number on the long programme gave some pleasant reminiscence of those early times here. A cornet solo by L. Leo Howard opened the meeting, when Charles Waterman, as the son of a pioneer, addressed the pioneers and others present, recalling to their minds a few of the hardships experienced by those who made the history of the nrst days of this western country. Mrs.

L. S. Willson then sang, was encored and sang again, her voice not failing to charm this audience, as It has Bozeman audiences before and gatherings all over this great state for nearly 30 years past. Miss Olla Ruffner played the piano for Mrs. Willson, she being one.

of Bozeman's most accomplished musicians, and the daughter of a pioneer, Hon. Caldwell Edwards then gave the address of the evening, there being no one in this county better able to call up the memories of the early sixties than Mr. Edwards. An "old-timer" himself. and his descriptive powers above the ordinary, he held his audience for nearly an hour, as they gave closest attention to his most interesting paper.

Zither music followed by J. C. Hansen, a solo by Miss Josle Van Tassel and a duet by J. A. McKee and Miss Nellie Jones, with Mrs.

W. S. Hartman at tne piano. After the exercises at the opera house a grand banquet was served in the Nichols block, and at Maxey's hall the Sons and Daughters of Pioneers were holding their annual ball. Max ey's hall is never so crowded as each February upon the occasion of this annual reunion of the Pioneers and the Sons and Daughters of Pioneers of old Gallatin county.

Those pioneers who in the early sixties turned their attention to mining drifted about from one place to another, and many of the ones now left are still drifting, while those who went at once to ranching are still upon the old homesteads. This accounts in cart for the fact that in Gallatin and Beaverhead counties are more of the pioneers who came to Montana during or before 1862, than in all of the rest of the state. The very large gathering on Monday evening represented every part of Gallatin county and many a gray-haired pioneer was young again upon this evening and his eye brighten ed and face was lighted up as the ex perlences of 35 years ago were related.

Yale's forever "Devil's Auction" stands to-day singly and alone as not the most phenomenal piece of theatrical properties of the past decade. It is now the flfteeenth year of this, showrpiece, and the theater-going public have not apparently got in any way tired of it as yet. The secret of "The Devil's Auction" success is due to the never ceasing energy and creative ability of its proprietor and manager, Charles II. Yale, who each year makes a clean sweep of all old Ideas and features, and replaces it with new and catchy matter, replete with timely hits upon the latest "fad" or "wrinkle." An innovation adopted by Manager Yale some seasons ago and exemplified each year by portraying pantomitnically and from the absurd side of view, the extreme point of silliness which Dame Fashion or some other new fad, will cause its enraptured followers to perpetrate.
