At the monthly meeting of the Montana Society of Engineers, which was held in the society rooms in the Lexington block last night, some very interesting subjects were discussed by members who have just returned from Saint Louis and other summer points. President Moultrup presided, and read a communication he had received from Washington, asking that the society discuss the Utah mining mining laws and send its opinion to headquarters for use in amending the mining code, should such amendments be deemed necessary. The society will have a discussion on the subject at the next meeting, at which C. W. Goodwin, the expert on Utah, Colorado & Montana properties, will preside. Professor Bowman gave a description of some diagrams on exhibition at the society's rooms, in which the various processes through which minerals must pass were become commercial ore, and he said that not only the large but also the other exhibits were on exhibition. He spoke of the old Mexican process of handling copper. They would refine and refine the crude in the big iron kettles and there are the kettles, which had been almost wholly absorbed by rust. Professor Bowman was a close observer of many of the electrical works at the exhibition, and told how the large generators passed through a most thorough examination before they were sent out for use. Every piece in fuel supply received the most careful consideration. He spoke of what wonderful detail was gone over. He stated that he had visited China railroad and purchased the company's machine [illegible] the company's works after the fair, and considered that the exhibition of electric power plant at the fair and the exhibits, which included many many first-class apparatus in use all over the country at fair grounds, was the one the New York elevated railroad is especially, it is a notable one, one which supplies power for the world's fair elevated. He also spent considerable time at Cornell university and says that the students are immediately put in the shops when they enter there for a two and one-quarter years' course. They are not only taught the practical, but also the theoretical side at the same time. It is a six years' full course, though the students can go through the entire course in four years. He thinks that a graduate from this school is a most thoroughly engineer. The next meeting of the society will be held on October 8. --- ## Column 2 # CIVISKI CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS ## DETECTIVE MURPHY SHAKES SHOPLIFTER AND DISCOVERS SMALL STOCK OF MERCHANDISE. Gus Civiski, alias Kenny, was arrested last night by Detective Jerry Murphy as he was leaving to go out of Symons' store, after having taken nearly everything he could get. Detective Murphy caught him and shook his arm and a fountain pen fell on the floor. Among the things found on him when searching it was a rag set in a frame for a pin cushion containing a waterman's treasure, several bandana handkerchiefs and other small articles. In spite of being caught with the goods on him, the police believed his protestations and bagged to be released. # ROBBERS ENTER STOUGH BLOCK ## Get $70 in Cash and Certificate of Deposit for $90—Woman Arrested on Suspicion, but Released. Sometime Thursday a sneak thief entered the housekeeping rooms in the Stough block at 721 Utah avenue, and took $70 in money and a certificate of deposit for $90 from Mrs. Foss. The room is always locked, as is the trunk containing it, so the burglar must had keys to both locks. Detective Frank White was notified Friday night, and after investigating the matter arrested Delia Story on suspicion of knowing something about it, owing to the fact that the key of the landlady's room was found underneath the carpet in the Story woman's bed. She denied all knowledge of the crime, and said she had no idea how the key came to be there. She was held overnight on general suspicion and Detectives White and Murphy for almost twelve hours. They were unable to get anything from her that would connect with the robbery, however, and she was released at midnight. Neither the money nor the certificate have been recovered, and the police are still in the dark as to who committed the act. They did, however, succeed in trying the lock with a key that was not the proper key to the room, and found which proved that it was an easy matter to get into the trunk. --- ## VIOLET LEOTA SMALLEY, Sixteen Years Old, the Only Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Smalley, Who Was Taken by Death on Sunday, August 28, 1904. --- # FALL SEMESTER OF THE SCHOOL OF MINES The fall semester of the State School of Mines will commence at 9 a. m.

There was also a concerted attempt in the convention, so far as the results indicate from the precincts, to naming 103 of the 160 chosen.

Mr. Rabbit—"Thank you, dear, for that kind welcome, and I assure you that I feel just the same things myself." Exclusive Newport will doubtless rejoice to learn the fact that Goddess Diana was very much of a spinner. She would, therefore, probably have been considered quite presentable by some of the social arbiters. --- ## Column 4 # A SALE OF # New Room Size Rugs The quickest way to settle the question of rug supremacy in Montana is to come where they sell the most rugs and give the biggest values, and see with your own eyes the largest collection shown in the state.
