Mr. A. J. Kuollin of Kansas City is

bought 3C00 head of graded Shropshire
lambs from Geo. A. Young of Ridgeway
and shipped them East. Six hundred
of these averaged 118 pounds, some
going us high as HO, and the whole 3000
average 102 pounds, this after shearing,
which reduced their weight about seven
pounds.

The closing exercises of St. Joser
school last night was largely attended,
and as the entire program was rendered
remarkably x well, everyone went away
fully convinced that the minims are
hard to beat when they have undergone
a course of training under their kind
and experienced teacher, Sister Mary
tho mother went to his relief, but foi
some time was unable to drive the vie- J entertainment opened by a solo
ious brute away. This she only accom- i !intl ehorus, in which the entire school
plished after she had piled rugs and ! joined. This was followed by a piano
chairs over tho little fellow's body, com
pletely covering him. After the injured
child was taken in the house, the dog
kept going around the outside looking
for an entrance to the building to get at
the child again, and mado several at
tempts to jump through the window.
What the child did to the animal is not
solo, which was rendered by the boys in
a manner that would cause older and
more expeiieneed players to feel justly
proud. A song, "The Laughing Boy,"
was then given in a very creditable
manner. The Dumb Bell Drill was next
in order, and the way in which each und
everyone did hie part caused the audi-
known, but the dog seemed determined 1 BI1CU t0 demand an encore, which was
promptly granteu. Alter anotner song,
"The Golden Rule," had been rendered,
the orchestra appeared, and delighted as
well as surprised, everyone by its ren
dition of the selection "Angels' Dream."
In this the boys showed the marks of
svJcareful training, not a discord occurring
Pils duri:
to kill the boy, and came near accom
plishing his object. The dog was killed.
The child is terribly bitten, but it is

A German song, "Der Dieb," amused
everyone. The comic song, "Riding on

A crate of berries picked and packed
by J. J. Luckey was shipped by Jos. A.
Wilson at midnight May 25th, and
reached its destination, 133 miles east
ot Pittsburg, May 3lst. A letter re
ceived from the recipient states that tho
crate arrived in excellent condition, not
a bruised strawberry in the lot.
The price of Hood River strawberries
in Butte advanced 25 cents per crate
Tuesday. On that date Mr. Coon re
ceived a carload of berries from tho
Hood River union, but having the field
all to himself, was able to raise the
price. The car contained Hll,' crates.
A few days previous 300 crates of Hood
River berries blocked the market and
reduced prices at that point.
The Glacier is very happy to be able
to take back part of the story it pub
lished last week about the strawberry
patches of Harry Brown and J. K,

box of his berries, which were as fine as

Be Not Alarmed
By the Fo-called "WARNING" of our comp'titor. The threat
made to our customers is nothing more nor less than a big blulf of u
would-be monopoly.
Our Maker Barbed Wire was purchased from onojf the largest
concerns in the United States; c,u;h spool is branded "Genuine Baker
Warranted," and we invito comparison with any other inaku of Wire.
Wo have bought nearly 100,000 pounds of this wire for SPOT
GASH, at tho right price, und propose to give our customers the benefit
of it. We ure not holding it for a fancy price, and claiming it to be thu
