And now the school girl's thoughts turn
ally to graduation go\vns. Interest in that
nll-lmporunt article exceeds the attention
paid-to oxamlnalions , The quality and cut
of the dross is u delightful ousts In tbo desert
of class routine , and tbo dress itself is an
epoch in lito only passed by the \voddlnR
gown.
The tall and slim and fair graduuto accordIng -
Ing to modern authorities should select crepe
do chlno. It should bo made simple the
skirt plain , with a tiny rulllo of the same
material at the edge ; waist high nnd closely
thlrrod , confined with a sash of whlto silk
that will hixne in a bow at the side.
The girl of truly classic form Is best at
tired in soft , line albatross cloth. It is made
Kusslin style , with waiit cut a trifle low.nnd
gathered full at the neck nnd waist , with a
yolto of line lace over. The top part of the
slcnvo will bo cut in one piece to form a big
puff.
puff.Uronadlnos and bonrlottas are favorites.
Mull Is an Inexpensive material for n gradua
tion gown , mid looks very pretty made with
a broad aruh of tbo same inatcrlalwhlch will
go bait way up the waist nntl bo in itself a
considerable trim mint' . Then a plaited col
lar of mull may bo worn , and loose sleeves
with a deep plaiting falling over tbo hands.
The skirt may bo trimmed with two or three
narrower plnitlngB.
A very dainty1 gown of whlto lawn dotted
with heliotrope llguros is attractive. The
r skirt is made with slight fulness In front ,
nnd quite n good deal in the back. It is
trimmed about tbo foot with n tiny ruche of
while lace. The bodice is laid iu noft folds
coming lo a point at the waist , both in front
aud back. The nock is slightly low , and
round in shape. A very full aoublo rulllo of
wnlto chiffon , wide enough to roach the
shoulders , trims It. Tbo sleeves are very
full puffs to the elbow , and are ttijht below.
From the underarm seams four bands of
narrow nttlo hollotropoMubon are brought to
tbo middle of the front , tbe two lower tylnc ;
in a bow nt the waist , and the two upper ,
bait way between tbo neck and waist.
Ono of the prettiest class-day cowns Is ot
white India silk , sprinkled with small pink
rosebuds in a fashion suggestive of Diesdon
china. Tbo skirt was made u convenient
length for walking ever the grounds to the
"tree" ceremonies nnd the like. It v.'us the
usual seamless structure , with fulness iirtho
back. Three tiny rallies ot the silk trimmed
tbo foot , the tap ono being caught along Its
upper edge by rosattos of narrow pink velvet
ribbon , The bodIce opened ever a full vest
of plain whlto silk , and thcro were tight un-
dorslcovrs of tbo same. The outer sleeve
was of the llgurad silk , very loose , and
opened from shoulder to wrist on its inner
seam. A band and rosette of the velvet
finished the wrist , aud a wider velvet bolt
vvllb long cuds tied iu the backlluisbod the
waist.

Woman with a capital letter should by
now bavo ceased to bo a specialty , write's
Marlon Harland in the North American Uo-
vlow. There should bo no moro need of
"movements" In her behalf , aud agitations
lor her advancement aud development con
sidered apart from the general good of man-
itind , than for the abolition of negro slavery
In the United States. "For what a man"
and presumably a woman ' 'hath ' , does ho
yet seek after I" With the world of knowl
edge nnd opportunity thrown open to her , it
argues IHtlo for her ambition and less for her
ability to grasp cardinal principles that she
elects to oulld fences about her reservation ,
and expends tlmo nudforco in patrolling pre
cincts "nobody cares to attack. "I "am glad
the question for discussion today does not
contain the word 'woman,1" said a member
of a celebrated literary club. "Iam weary
of the pretcdtious dissyllable , and satiated
with incessant twaddle of 'woman's pro
gress,1 'woman's work for woman , ' and Ibo
ninety and ulno variations upon the ono
string , liy this time wo ought to bo there if
wo are -over to arrive. I um half sick of
womanhood 1 1 want to bo a , human bolng. "
Nevertheless , "movements" looking to what
D Sorosls sislor calls "deliverance from
masculine tyranny , " Rather momentum every
clay. Last week the Methodist conferocco of
Maryland struck the word "obey" from the
wedding torvlco. Women , us avoryboay
knows , romarus the Now York Commercial ,
have alwoa looked upon the words "lovo ,
honor nnd obey" as a moro form. And they
nro quite right so to regard them. For when
, two pcoplo become ono the mcro words
spoken during tbe ceremony can have noth
ing to do with deciding tbo practical question
which of the two is to bo thntouo. There is
an old saying that sometimes "the gray mare
is the better horso. " And it is a saying
berne out by the common experience of man
kind. In many cases it Is the woman who
should take command attorn matrimonial nl-
llanuo , and she invariably docs so when eho
is manifestly tbo stronger horse of the team.
No ceremonial that has over been devised bv
roan will cvor Do able to abolish the inherent
right ot power to rule over weakness. Strong
women have always ruled over weak men ,
and will continue to do so to the cud of tbo
chapter. Hut tboy will do so none the moro
because of the omission of ono little word era
a dozen long words from the inarriago core-
uiony.

A pretty fancy for summer is that of mak
ing the bodice ot afternoon toilets ot surah ,
with full slcovos ot the same. This bodice
comes well ever the hips , and is fitted very
snugly.
There is a return to whlto nna.croam laces
for the throat and sleeve * of bodices for
afternoon wear as well ns for evening. Even
with high corsages , many lace bibs and jabots
are soon.
When a high school girl says she had a
perfectly lovely tlmo the evening before , tbo
shadowy , indistinct figure of n young man
instantly projects Itself in the background

A line sheorquallty ot cream colored cheese
cloth is very generally used by the makers ot
children's costumes for lining the wulsts and
sleeves of summer drassos of light wool ,
surah-percale , zephyr , etc.
It Is quite a fad to have corsages in dlroc-
toiro jacket shape to wear with plain skirts
of a solid color. These little bodlcos reach
only to the waist nnu usually bavo deep ro
vers nnd u chemisette and lace cravat.
Veil cases ore the latest thincs In fancy
work. They are made of silk or linen ,
faintly perfumed , wrought moro or loss or
nately ns the fancy pieasoj , nnd arranged on
the outlines of the old handkerchief case.
The prettiest bonnet U n tiny bit of whlto
tulle , drown up ever a frame , with n wreath
of while violets und nothing but whlto violets
lets fulling on the hair behind , and make
high trimming In front with whlto strings.
Jack How much simpler n woman's cos

with very deeply pointea yoke < and full
bishop sleeves of velvet golden brown , deep
myrtle green , olive brown or dark nastur

Clerk There nro two kinds of cloth to
match the shade of this sample you have , sir ;
ono Is much moro expensive than tbo othor.
Have you any idea which your wife prefers !
Customer Oh , yes I Sbo wants the ouo that

Few materials are prettier for drossy after
noon wear for summer than the dainty
printed cropons. They fall so softly , nnd the
crinkled urounds trlvo such a subdued chine-
like effect to the flowers with which the
goods are patterned.
The newest thing In hats Is tbo silk travel
ing bat , the sbapo of n woman's Alpine hat ,
made of soft silk and stitched precisely like
a cloth hat. They are delightful and have
every advantage , becoming and jaunty , light
and uncrusbablo , and made in every color.
Any woman in whom the gross instinct is
not entirely dormant can bo h'or own milliner
this season , for the most startllnsr ot flyaway
bow.s , the daintiest of lace rosettes , ribbon
ruchings nnd Inco thistles , besides tbo great
variety of nowors , all may bo purchased
rnady for trimming hats and bonnnts.
A pretty dress for a fancy ball may bo
made with a skirt of crisp whllo muslin , ac
cordion plaited and a bright blue green velvet
corselet ornamontel ( > vlth ; glass drops. A
whlto chemisette , gay with orange and lemon
colored ribbons , should bo worn with the
corselet. It is the Italian national dross.
Among ether decorations for airy summer
mllllnory are gauze and velvet butterflies ,
carefully copied from nature , representing
the most gorgeously colored specimens , as
welt as the common yellow ones. There are
also dragon Illos made of some transparent
that resembles mother ot pearl.
A famous duchoss-lu London recently wont
through the ordeal of having a dross mode on
her own figure. She stood for three hours
while the dresamaknrs wrought fifty vards
of rare old lace , that could not bo cut , fnto a
gown fora soirco , at the close of which
every stitch baa to be carefully cut and
plcicotl out befoio Iho lady could dlsrobo.
The popularity of the ribbon streamer Is al
ready on the wane. Not only has It been np-
proprlatod by all sorts and conditions of
wumon to the verge of vulgantv , bui the
ladles huvo discovered that a yard or moro of
ribbon , with a high wind , is qulto iho reverse -
verse of picturesque and approaches the
ridiculous.
A oostumo of white poplin is made in a
half-tailor fashion , with the whole front of
tbo corsage laid in pleated silk muslin on
bright Scotch plaid. The bodice roakoi A
jacket effect , tlgbt-llttlng and outlined with
a narrow gold Russian embroidery. The
wrists of the sleeves have folds 'of plaid
gauze wllh a rraotte.
Yellow Irish linenlaco , with line applique

French muslin , batiste , coiton crepon and

Though the clinging sheath skirt is still in
the height of fnotilon , tboro is a strong effect
mudo to considerably enlarge its circum
ference , and to muko It moro elaborate by
moans of Hat tabliors , by Inserted panel

The history of plonoar Ufa In ths wait sitr-
passes the uioit thrilling narrative ot tlatlon.
Almost every individual life ls a rcoDrd ot
daring , privation and suffering , of trials that
served to bring Into play thoao Strong , on-
nobllng qualities ot manhood which have In
llttlo moro than n generation transformed a
wlldornoss Into prosperous states and terri
tories. No pan ha < yet adequately osvorod a
ilold rlpa with records of advoaturo and ro
mance , ot conquest nnd critno , ot onduranoa
and Indomltnblo will. Stuttering chapter )
of notable epochs have baan wrltton , but the
complete work will doubtless await the tlmo
when the last of the great aotow In tha
drama of weUorn sottlomaat and civilization
have passed awny.
In tbo thrilling days ot 1831 , whan states
wore rant with deadly strife and civil war
brolto ever the land , Missouri WA ? n vortex
of contending factions. A m.ijonty of the
people favored the southern oauio , but so
strong was the hold of the nortb on strategic
points that the atrgrojslve aupportors of the
union soattorod the oaomy early In
in the conflict ; aud bold the state staadfait
till the cloioot the w.ir. Preceding nud suo-
coodlng the clash of arms , an exodus ot Mls-
sourlaus took place , a majority heading for
the west and northwest. Among these who
left the state iu ISiM to soolt fortune in the
developing west was Charles A. Broadwator ,
whoso death at Helena , Mont. , was an
nounced last week. Brondwator lacked a
year of manhood's ago when from nis homo
In St. Charles , Mo. , ho Joined ono of the
numerous caravans bound for
'Tlko'a Peak or Itust. "
Like many before and after him ho did not
ilnd the country overlaid with golden nug
gets. Indifferent sucoirn served to what his
youthful ardor and develop it love of. adven
ture. Ho became ono of the numerous class
always ready to rush for now dlgijtns , but
never fully satisfied with tbo prospects of a
camp.
When the Montana gold fever broke out
in 1803 IJroadwator w.is among the early
arrivals in the Uannack Holds. Hero ho not
only laid the foundation of a fortune , but
became an active force in bringing order out
ol cbnos as well as in the material develop
ment of Montana.
The Itannnolc Gnu ; ; .
Before a year baa passed the Bannack
camp became the center , the rallying point
of northwestern outlaws. The outcasts
irom ( Jallfornia , Oregon , Nevada and Colo-
ddo concentrated there. Robberies wore
requcnt and murders common. It was the
huu from which radiated ai spoked In a
whtiol the various branchesof tuo greatest
gang of highwaymen that over stretched
honip. A Wisconsin man named Pluraor
was the commander of the desperadoes.
Plumer flourished for a time in the role of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. As sheriff of tho.
district bo masked his plans by pretending
to bo a terror to evildoers. Frequent excur
sions wore made into the camps tit the rob-
uors , but none wcro captured. Emissaries
wore constantly on the watch to guard
against betraying the relations of Plumer to
the aosporadoos and to receive duo warning of
official raids. When the sheriff left the
camp the desperadoes took charge , and when
the official und posse retarnod the gang took
to the suburbs and robbed and
murdered unguarded travelers. Among the
members ot the gang 'wero BUI Moore , ,
George Ives , Charley Heovos und John
Cooper. Those men were leaders of the road
agents recruited from all sections , mid under
tbo protection of Pluraor reaped a huge
harvest of blood and treasure during tbo
winter of 1862-D. Ivcs bud killed his man
several times and carried In his body on his
\ > avrto an improvised scaffold the bullet
placed , there by William Carbort during a
melee in the .streets of Bannack. Moore
rarely killed in practicing his profession. Ho
preferred the pleasaator duty of taklue the
cash. Cooper worked'on the principle that
dead men toll no tales , and invariably am
bushed bis victims , phot them down and con
cluded the performance with robbery.
Uoevos varied his campaign for dust by
slaughtering Indians. Ho pursued his runa
way < > quaw wife from Bannack into the
Indian camp , beat her unmercifully and shot
down her lather for interfering.
A Itltlo tor Life.
The reign of terror in Bimnaclc was do-
structlvo of prosperity as well as llfo.
Broadwator formed a partnership \vllh
John Y. Pomborton , brother of
William O. Pomberton , ono of the
members of the noted .vigilantes of Alder
Gulch. Together they-wont to Door ; Lodge
valley and built two cabins on the slto of
what is uow Djer Lodge city. They engaged
iu cattle raising. In the spring of ' 03 the
camp was visited by Moore , Hooves , Cooper
and Ives. During a moioo with Indians in
the saburbs of Baunack a few days before ,
two redskins and a squaw man were killed
and Moore wounded. Fearing an Indian
raid on their camp tbo robbers took Monro
to the Deer Lodge valley whore they lormod
the acquaintance ot Broadwater an ac
quaintance which developed i thrilling inci
dent in his life.
Mooro's wounds proved norlous. Broad
water offered him the nse of ono of bis cab-
lus.and used every available moans to save
his llfo. Ho succeeded. Moore was grateful
for the klndnoss shown and pledged nlmsolf
to reciprocate whenever possible. His part
ners In crime wore of different mold. They
closely surveyed the camp. gauged
tbo lighting caiibro of Broadwater
and Pomborton and concluded that a raid on
the cabins would bo a profitable ono.
Meanwhile several head of stock wore
gathered ready for market. Broadwater
drove the meager herd to Hannaok aud sold
them nt good prices. Ho was about * to start
on tbo return trip with tbo dust in bis bolt
when ho mot Moore , the road agent whom ho
had befriended.
"Look out for your lifo on the road , "
whispered Moore ; "the gang 1 onto you. "
"They won't got rauob , " answered Broad-
water , "but what little I bavo they mutt
light for it"
' There tvon'tbo any flehtlng , " exclaimed
tbo friendly road agent : "you will bo aui-
bushud. If you value your llfo take my ad-
vloo. I know. I want to befriend you. You
are watched. Wait until nlgbt and ship out
of town quietly. "
' Remember , ' ' said Moore , in parting ,
"don't squeal on mo. "
Broad water did not belle vothoro was much
"honor among thieves. " Though suspicious
of the source , ho was thankful for the ad
vice. It put him on bis guard and ho acted
on tbo suggestion. Leaving Bannack at
dusk bo roda away rapidly and camped at
Big Hole for the night , A skulking Indian
was observed approaching the camp during
tno night , Broadwater cautiously raised ills
gun and as soon as the redskin , whoso man
ner boded murder , got within range a shot
winged him.
Dawn next morning found him crossing
the Continental divide. As the rising sun
bathed tbo mountains in a golden glow ,
Broadwater's fears vanished. Ho felt aafa.
Ho had either eluded his pursuer * orMooro'i
assertions wera baseless. Down tbo moun
tain ho sped at a lively paoo , fooling secure.
The delusion was soon dispelled.
In the Cttinp ol tha Itubberi.
On roundlnK a rocky point ou Door Ledge
canyon he rode directly into tbo camp of
Ivo * . Cooper and Hooves. Tbo road agents
were taken by surprise. They did not ox-
poet Btoadwttlor o teen , and were not prepared -
pared to give him ino leaden greeting they
intended. Instead tnoy welcomed "him.
thanked him for hit kindness to Moore and
expressed a desire to act as a body guard for
him on his Journey homo.
"Walt uutll.wo saddle , " they exclaimed in
chorus , "and we'll see you through. "
'No , no , gentlemen. " Broadwater replied
in his usual gallant style , , "don't
put yourself to the trouble. I tnanU you for
tbo offer , bu ( nuUly It Isn't aeciutarr. "
They Insisted ,
"Well , trpaUcinao , I won't object. My
homo Is tlrod. Your'a bavo rested. I will
ride head. You will soon overtake mo. "
So saying Broadwator rode off. As soon
us ho got out ot view bo put spirs to his
horse. Tuan bocan n ride for life. The road
ngcnts were soon In hot pursuit. On ho
sped ns fast as his tired nulmal could carry
him. The robbers gained rapidly. The race
continued for two hours , over foothills and
valleys , tbroucb rocklin&d oinjons and
around lowering bultos. A haven was at
last roacnod. Broailwator rode into the
ranch of John Contway , a Ifronouman , Just
as his horse dropped from oxbaustlon , and
the robbers scarcely 100 yards away.
By a mutual understanding , though unex
pressed , hostllltltM were suspomiod. The
horses ot both sides were turned out to rest
and graze , Kxprosslons ot esteem were ex
changed. They dlnMl together. The
roaa agents bantered tBroadwator on his
unsnomly haste , to ' 'which ho replied
that pressing buslnais at homo de
manded his earliest ru'tfihtlon. ' Ho showed
no outward - lgn of trepidation. On the con
trary ho assumed on air''of unconcern which
threw the road agents W their guard. They
fell sure of their victim'und relaxed their
vigilance. Broad watoV ; , contrived by strat
egy to secure a fresh fiorso from Contway.
Ho explained the situation to the Frenoh-
man. The latter brought a horse to the
door , ostensibly to go'Jfor stock , but it was
for Broadwator. Ho , throw on his saddle
, and cantered nwny amid the protests ot his
would-bo robbers. Thotjgavo up the chase.
Their horses were too ) adod to overtake a
fresh animal. ( , j.
Kiirly Life In Idcr Gulch.
The stampede to Aldtfr Gulch occurred Iu

what is now Virginia City , not only from

Sioux which ovorrau the Intervening coun
try , und reached the mineral mccca in the
fall to find it in the throes of revolution ,
Pluramor's gang of desperadoes ran tbo
camp. Shocking crimes were of frequent
occurrence. No man with money dare ven
ture far beyond the camp. The famous vigilantes -
lantos committee was In the formative
Bingo. It soon developed into a
powerful and terrible organization ,
and after a series of the most thrilling bat
tles , trials und pursuits , wined the gang from
thu face of the uarth and restored peace and
prosperity to western Mbntana.
The number of desperadoes hung from tree
limbs and OAuln rafters is said to rnngo from
eighteen to twenty-six. The three men who
attempted to waylay Broadwator were
among the number. Ivos was captured with
others and charged with the murder of To-
balt , a mule driver , in the vicinity of Nevada
City. The captors were brought to town und
tried In the presence of every resident iu the
camp. It was a thrilling day In December ,
1803. It was a time that tried mcnrs souls.
On the result ot the trial depended the supre
macy of order or crime. Supporters of the
vigilantes flocked to Nevada City from Alder
gulch and tram Baunaak. Broadwalor was
a loading spirit in the movement which was
destined to lift Montana out of tbo slough of
outlawry. The road agents were out In great
forco. The Immunity enjoyed in the past ,
the farcical trials hitd on previous occasions ,
nmdo-thoiu confident that the trial of Ivos
would result in acquittal. They scoured the
country for friends , In the hope of OVOT-
awing the bonost people. Bullying failed.
Bravo men had tairon hold aud welded
the law abiding people into a compact
mass , determined to assort themselves at any
cost. Conspicuous among these loadora were
Judge \V. F. Sanders , United States senator ,
ox-Qovornor Samuel T. Hnuser , C. A. Broad-
water , W. G. Pombertou and X. Biodlor
Sanders and Pomborton conducted the prose
cution. A Jury of twenty-four weighed the
evidence for and against Ivos. An armed
guard surrouuded the court and armed
pickets moved among the masses of excited
people watching the friends of the road
agents and prepared to check promptly any
attempt at rescue. The trial continued all
day aud far into tuo night. Sanders de
scribed it as a scene that nut to the test the
nerves of every participant. In weird
solemnity and suppressed excitement it
equalled the tragic work of tbo San Fran
cisco vigilantes. A log tire lit up the scene
at night , casting ominous shadows in a back
ground of gloom. Outside tbo circle of the
open court men talked In whispers. Every
man was armed. A cbanco shot would have
precipitated a desperate baltle. but so well
were tho' 'friends of tmprovfsod.UawttllBol-
plluod tbat ' tbo 'doaparadoos ware hold
in chock and that trial concluded
wltbout disturbance ; ' * A unanimous
verdict ot ' guilty < was pronounced
by tbo Jury. The verdict was con
firmed by the people with' ' a mighty shout ,
and within two hours Ivos' body swung lifeless -
loss from tbo ridgepole of ha log hut.
Swift Justice.
From this tlma.on taj.i worK of the vi
llantes began in curnosti Cooper and Hooves
were run down late in the following January
and lynched without the ceremony of a trial.
Moore evidently changed bU occupation
after cautioning Broadwator at Bannack , and
left the country. Within three months
Pluraer and every kuoWu member of his
gang wore disposed of , besides several inde
pendent freebooters without visible means of
support. Once rid of tno thlovos and mur
derers who had terrorized the poonlo , the
vigilantes votirod from' business und re
turned to their usual avocations. The les
son was a salutory ODD. Peace reigned
through tbo diggings , lifo and property were
again secure , and prosperity followed.
A llroud Gunge Iluslnoss Man.
In the succeeding years Broadwater was
identified with tbo 'freighting business.
When the Northern ijaollio entered thu ter
ritory ho was among tno first to ally bimsolt
with the now forces of civilization , managed
extensive contracts , and subsequently built
the Montana Central road , extending from
Great Irblls to Butte , and of which bo was
president at tbo time of his death , Iu finan
cial and commercial undertakings he was an
active force , displaying in every calling rare
business sagacity and rugged honesty.
A Group ot I'lonccrs.
The writer met and formed the acquaint
ance of Colonel Broactwator ( every Mlisour-
Ian in Montana wears a military title ) at what
was probably the happiest period ot his lifo.
It was Hie 28tn of August , 1889. On the pre
vious day the wealth and beauty ot Helena
gathered at Hotel Broadwator to celebrate
the formal opening of tbat hostelry and tbo
dedication of the huge plunge bath adjoin
ing. It was nil occasion of political and
social rejoicing. Montana's slur of state
hood was plaosd oa the union field of tluo on
the preceding Fourth of July. The lirst
election for state officer * was to take place
ou the following October. Two senators
were to be chosen. Tins Important event
brought to the state capltol a host of polltl.
clans , mostly democrats , because Broai-
water was a party loader , ono of
the big four , which Included Ex-Governor
Hausor , Marous Daly and A. W. Clark.
Broadwator appeared in the prime of llfo at
4'J , A man ot medium bolght , of rugged
physique , with a banOjiorau , kindly face and
brow indicative of strong mental power. Ho
was dressed in a modest blauk , with a light
nombroro covering bis saint looks. Ho was
the center ot a group of noted plouoors , men
-vbo with him bad fashioned the mold of
state and were loaders la its commercial and
political affairs. Tboro.woro Judge W. F.
Sanders and Thomas Powers , now senators
of the United States ; Major Magln-
nls , ox-tcmtorlal delegate and aspirant for
senatorial honors ; Congressman Carter , now
United States land commissioner ; ex-Gover
nor Hausor , another candidate for the na
tional Eonalo ; Hon. James 1C Toolo , , subse
quently elected governor of the state ; Hon.
A. W. Clark of Butto. who bad a senatorial
boo In hU bonnet , nosldos other * prominent
in business and professional llfo. Thoy. had
come together to do honor to the man whoso
enterprise and public spirit were the admira
tion of the people. ,
A Unique Institution.
The Broadwator hotel and baths are not
only tbo great attraction of Helena in sum
mer. They are uniquu monument * to tbo
originality and prodigal liberality of the man
whoso natna they boar. Located four mile *
from the center ot Helena , at tbe base of
Mount Helena , and ' 'at tbo entrance
of Ton-Mile creek , 'they ' are en
closed In a frame of" natural beauty.
To the west stretching Iu Admirable perspec
tive are the mountain dame * ot tbo Blttnr
Hoot rango. To the norttj , east and south
east la a valley ten to ' 'ivreuty miles wlJn ,
terminating in a low rftjuo of bllU , at the
base of which runs tw , Missouri river , a
.clear sparkling stream , ttHiibllntr noisily over
its rock bed. Directly sttnhwett loom up
mighty peak * , tbolr reeaf'gummiti capped
with snow. In tbi * delightful spot Broad ,
water bullded. Tbo grqutuU embrace forty
nurof , which have bco'rt.Hrauaformed into
lawn * and haded parlti , Tbo hotel is a
three ttory frame structure , highly ornate
In the oxlerlor aud lavishly furnished. The
bulb Is the inarrol ot tb state. The water
covers a space nOOxOO feet , and varies in
depth from two foo't at the entrance to nine
feet nt the outflow. Tbo water is brought In
pipes from hot springs six miles distant , and
tins n temperature ot 105 degree * on reaching
tbo bath. It 1'J carried to the arch ot tbo
roof at the entrance , and tumbles over a mass
of moss covered rocks arranged with urtlstlo
effect. Both building and grounds represent
an outlay ot $250,000.
Viewing Cnlonol Broadwator's lifo in all
Us phases , ns n rucgcd upholder of law In
plonoordn.vs.orasn business man with moans
to put operation broad , progressive plans ,
his uuoUontatlous charities , his uncomprom
ising advocacy of what ho believed was right ,
and his hatred ot shams and trickcrv , it is
slmplo Justice to say that ho was the embodi
ment of the sturdy honor nnd unsolllMi man
hood which grasped and guided Uio forces of
primitive civilization In tha great west , The
adventurous boy of Missouri became tbo first
citizens of Montana , honnro.l and respected
In llfo , eulogized nnd widely lamented in
death.
Whnro lluilcorn nro found.
The Zoologist says that Uio bmlcor Is
found in all North America , but this
probably is u mistalto of the books , for
it is certain that there are thousands of
man living1 In the Mississippi valley
who never saw n bntlgor except In n
monnporio. The animal Is said to bo
abundant In Canada mid along the Rocky
mountains of the northwest , but does not
go further south than Colorado.
