A HEARTLEss
ssrenely Drunk, He Plays the Fiddle by
the Bedside Of HIS Vile, Who Attempts
Suicide by Taxing Morphine.

At 6:30 o'clock last evening the at
tention of Officer Bob Ingalls, was at
tracted by the loud shrieks of a woman,
apparently in deep distress. The noise
seeming to come from the disreputable
Concert Hall, or Ferguson street, near
the Metropolitan hotel, the officer en-
tered the place. Proceeding to the
e room, occupied for sleeping pur-
poses, he found Mrs. Chas. Kicks, wife
of the proprietor, writhing in agony
upon a sofa. Learning from persons
about the place that she had just taken
a large dose of morphine, ingalls, at
once sought a physician, and accom-
panied him to the place.
Proper remedies were at once APP
piled, and after an hours work the
man OF medicine had expelled the
poison from the woman's system, and
she was resting easily, though quite
weak.
The wOman's cause for the rash act
is said to be the constant abuse of her
husband, who, intoxicated, and with
characteristic heartlessness, sat in the
room play ing the fiddle while his wife
was writing in what, hut for the
officers promptness in summoning
medical aid, would have proven the
agonies of death.
The place in which the affair occur-
red is the chosen resort of the debased
of both sexes, and we fervently hope
that this blot upon the city's fair fame
will be- promptly closed up by the new
city government.

Small Pox in Ouden.

On account of the prevalence of small
poN i'll Ogden, it has been deemed wise
by the city council of that city to order
the suspension of public gatherings,
schools, meetings, dances, ~recreations,
etc., until otherwise announced by that
body. This is a wise precaution and
will doubtless be the means of checking
the spread of that dread contagion.

The trade of the American Wine
Company extends to all parts of the
continent. New York City is the lar
gest purchaser Of these wines. Then
follow other large cities. San Francis
co, Notwithstanding the many rival
wines of her own manufacture, comes
in for her share of Cooks Imperial,
while in every market of the country
the American Wine Company's goods
are popular standard articles. They
are almost the only native wines known
in Montana and the Northwest. One
notable feature of this trade should he
mentioned: While many of u native
wines are allowed to deteriorate in
quality as oon as they have acquired
reputation enough to make them mar
ketable, the wines of the American COM
pany are always maintained at the
highest standard of excellence.
