OUR BANKING HOUSES.
Two Strong and Prosperous Financial
Institutions.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
The First National Bank of Great
Falls was founded in 1886 to meet the
growing needs of this young city. 1t
was established with capital of S50,-
UUO and began business under the most
favorable auspices. Leading merchants
at once opened accounts therein. People
Of large or small means deposited money
with it. The United States treasury
promptly supplied it with notes in ex-
change for bonds and in a short time
the bank was well known in financial
circles in Montana and elsewhere. Its
career has been prosperous ever since.
At the end of the first year, it increased
its capital to 100000. The additional
stock was readily placed among business
men, who stand high in commercial cir
cles. Last December the bank removed
from the Phelps block to spacious offices
on the main floor OF the Central block.
wnere it has a large counting house and
the amplest facilities for transacting
business.

Wood ashes have too great a value to

should make its own soap supply. 1t is
cheaper for the farmer to make soap
than to buy it. When not utilized on
the farm, ''soap grease" is either vast
ed or sold for a pittanee. After the
ashes are leached they are nearly as
valuable as before for manure, where
the soil does lack potash. If a teas
poonful Of clean wood ashes is given
every third day to horses in their feed
they will very rarely need condition

cattle will have good results. Cattle. al.
SO swine. are frequently seen licking
ashes where rubbish has been burned.
The ashes given TO hogs may be mixed
with their salt. Ashes correct acidi-
ty Of the stomach and DESTROY some in-
testinal worms. Wood ashes are a
valuable fertilizer for all crops, but es-
pecially for orchard crops. They con-
tain all the mineral elements required
by plants. The fine condition and pecu-

make their real agricultural value
greater than the value computed from
chemical analyses. Coal ashes 4

Expected LEGISLATURE.

They agreed that all appointment

cised control in the selection, and
which the Republicans took from him
and made the appointments to be by
the Legislature, will be put back into
the hands of the Executive. The per-

City and Newark and the law closing
the polls at Sunset which were design

The Jury Commission law which makes
more expense to tax payers will also
probably be repealed.

by the Republicans that we cannot re-
apportion the State except on The basis
of the ensus taken every ten years.

Last Sunday was the day set for all
the Methodist churches throughout the
civilized world to hold services in com
memoration Of the Tooth anniversary
Of the death of the greatest sacred song
writer that ever lived. Charles Wesley.
In many places 1t was observed with
elaborate services but not in PENIS
Grove.
Charles Wesley was a brother to John
Wesley, the illustricus founder of the
Methodist liturgy, and was born at
Hepworth, England. in 1706. His
father Was On eminent divine, and dur
ing his years Of active service in his
church was known as the ablest preach
er on the Continent. His talents were
Inherent in his two sons, and during
their long aud useful lives made for
themselves regulations that will last
for all time. Charles was a studious
youth, and after having graduated at
Oxford University he was ordained a
minister in the Methodist Church. In a
comparatively few years he achieved a
reputation as an exponent of religion
that extended from London, where he
WAS established. to the four of
the earth. He spoke 30 beautifully,
his language was SO rythmical and his
discourses 30 able that he became
known to fame as the ''poet preacher"
and thousands of people made the pill
grimage to his church from all parts of
the globe to hear him preach. He visit
ed this country four times, and on each
occasion received a fiattering ovation
from people of all creeds. A great deal
Of his popularity, perhaps all Of it, WAS
due to the beautiful name in which
he placed the precepts Of his Church in
verse. Long before he was admitted
to the ministry he began writing hymns,
and when he died, in 1888, he had writ
ten over 1000, q far greater number
than was aver before or since written
by any one person.
A collection of all his works was
made o o after his death, and it was
found that he had published thirty-nine
hymnals, or volumes of his works, and
a large number Of his sermons are even
now extant and in constant use. When
he died, in bis 80th year, his funeral
and interment were among the most
notable events Of the last century.

was fraudulent the bonds having been
given for aid in the construction of rail-

never vet been constructed. Judgment
was rendered against the county. After
long legal contest, the county court refused
to make levy and the judges were held IN
contempt and have since been confined IN

red that the order of the federal court
would not be complied with inasmuch as
the state law prohibits such tax levy under

Judge krekel held that the state has no
power to control jurisdiction of federal
court and refused application for appeal.
If the county court judges comply with the
order of the federal court they Will be sub
