STORE CLOSING.

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 30, will be
Memorial Day. 1t is by act of congress
national holiday. 1t has been by gen
eral consent, since the war, observed as a
day Of solemn commemoration of the sac
ritices of blood and treasure offered upop
the altar OF liberty and union and for
strewing with flowers the graves of the
fallen braves who laid down their lives
in defense of their country and their
homes. 1t is most appropriate day up
on which to assemble as nation and
people and offer up our grateful tributes
OF praise to Almighty God, who hath
made and preserved us as nation.
We are not authorized to make anv
formal announcement as to the closing of
stores or suspension of business on that
day. We will say however, that, on ac-
count of the solemn observances Of the
day, it would be but reasonable and
proper that some respect or recognition
should be shown to the day and the oc-
casion; that all good citizens should ioin
in the solemnitics and that none should
be precluded from participation therein
because of secular or mercenary consid-
erations.

Sullivan's Story.

CHICAGO, May 28.-The Times in
late edition this morning prints a state
ment that T. 0. Sullivan made full con
1esslon and has given to the police tn,
names OF every one he knew implicated
IN the murder Of DR.. Cronin. Sullivan
was neatly trapped.
Day after day he was subjected to the
questions of the officers and day after
DAY ne lied. The police pumped sulli-
van Thursday. contradicted himself
frequently. Then they gave him enough
OF truth to show that they knew more
than he thought they did. The next day
Sullivan changed his tune and more con-
tradictions followed. This lying contin-
ued until yesterday when he decided to
tell the truth. In the presence of Mayor
baldenweck Of Lakeview and the police
officers Sullivan revealed the whole plot
and names of all those connected with
the great crime.
Mayor Baldenweck was seen this morn
ing by reporter and was asked for con-
formation of the above statement The
mayor disclosed it was not true, but nev-
ertheless much credence is given to the
story as the authorities have not scru-
pied heretofore to deny the actual facts
for fear that the case would be preiu-
diced.

How to stay Young.

"How to Get Strong and How to Sta,
So," was the title of a little book that ;
few years ago was very popular witt
people interested in physical culture
But book which should tell us how Il
stay young would be still more popular
Saying nothing about the tabled "Foun
tain of YOUTH" which Ponce de
Leon searched for, there is no question
The observance Of sound and sensible
hygienic rules, the use of suitable and
wholesome food, and keeping regular
hours, will do much to preserve youth.
une OF ne greatest helps is to avoid
worry: When you travel, the best way
to avoid all worry is to take ssThe Bur
lington.' Its smooth tracks, its luxurious
sleeping cars, and the delicious meals
furnished on its peerless dining cars,
make worry" absolutely impossible.
For full information as to all its adyant-
ages, write to Phil Gibson, Agent, G. B.

A Young Foreer,

BUTTE, May Monte Woods, a
young man not over choice in the CON-
pany he keeps, got himself into serious
scrape yesterday afternoon by too free a
use OF the pen. He found himself rath-
er short Of funds and, to increase his de
pleted exchequer, signed the name Of
Mrs. Mary A. Butler to check for $3.50,
lie presented the paper to the First Ma
tional bank and demanded the money.
The check was soon proved to be clum-
sey forgery, and Woods was arrested.
On being arraigned he was granted time
to plead, and in default of $1,000 bail was
committed to iail.

AN ANSWER TO MANY QUESTIONS.

: Inc LEADER is constantly rece1vin
letters from all sections asking for info
nation about the country surroundin
, Great Falls and the Indian reservation
Inc answer to letter of inquiry fror
=. =. Bushong, Lyon county, Kansas, ma
serve as reply to many others.
The most moderate of our people be
leve that the future prospects of Grea
Fails are fully equal to any town in tn,
northwest. It has million dollar smel
ter located near 1t, which EMPLOYS a
present $50 men, and is expected soon t.
employ 1000.
1t has the largest available water powe,
in the world.
1t has within or 10 miles thousand,
OF acres of coal land with veins of 8 to
~ 1eet In width. The company at these
1niues employ 800 men and are getting
out now 400 tons day. They expect to
employ 1000 men during the fall and
winter.
IL mas also in the country surrounding it
Us nne soil and arabic land as in anv
part OF the United States, the yield of
which is from rs to IS bushels of wheat
per acre and so to 70 bushels Of oats nor
acre.
The country on the reservation ia first
class farming land. There are no In
olans allowed to roam on these lands.
aud the nearest body of Indians are as
peaceful as any white settlement. There
is no cause for alarm from Indians or
cattlemen. This reservation is grain
producing country. 1t is not ecessarv in
Il large part of Northern Montana to irri-
gate lands. Thirty bushels of wheat
to the acre have been raised five
successive seasons near this place with
out irrigation.
groceries are somewhat higher than in
inc states, owing to the greater cost Of
freight. W e should Judge on an average
they would be about 25 per cent higher
than in Indiana. Farm products bring a
good price. Butter sells from 30 to so
cents per pound. Eggs are IS cents a
dozen. Potatoes about go to 70 cents a
bnshel. The land office in this district is
located at Helena. School teachers get
from $50 to 800 per month in this coun-
try, with greater supply than demand.
!" orkmen receive from two to three dol |
lars day and board themselves, or $50
10 T4o per month. This is q great coun- |
Try Tor horses and cattle. They should
oe brought here early in the summer and
probably will have to be fed the first
winter or looked after. The second win
ter they will be able to rustic for them
selves on the plains.

We learn that the amount of ditche
and piping for which our city has con
tracted with the water company will bt
exhausted and number of families
slightly isolated, will be left out Thi,
is very unfortunate and, if embraced
ed within the limits Of the water circle
the city should contract with the companx
for the extra work necessary to supply
these houses. Notwithstanding there
are vacant lots between and no immedi-
ate demand for water, will it not nav our
city to render water so access ible that q
person will buy vacant lot with the as
surance OF watersupply. And though
there may not be the same argument for
the isolated families that there is where
greater number may be located it will
De absolutely necessary that they be sup
Piled with water facilities, especially
when the water wagons pull off, as they
Will do when the works are in operation,
We have system Of water supply unex-
celled, but we advise liberal policy in
so important matter, even beyond the
first calculation. The beautiful trees
and lovely yards where the people dwell
will so enhance the value Of property and
the beauty Of our home life that we will
forget the slight rise of taxes necessary
to meet the outlay. Great Falls is too
progressive to be run OH the illiberal
plan with which our mail facilities were
under the democratic rule of stinted
economy, especially on the question of
water supply. Give us plenty of water
and Great Falls will bloom and blossom
as the rose.

NEW YORK, May 28.-All of Mrs Lang
try's scenery and stage property were
sold at public auction by her order today
on the stage of the Grand opera house.
The schedule included the scenery of
Macbeth" which had cost her more
than $1,000, and the scenery of "a Wife's
Peril, Lady Clarcarty," "As in a Look
ing Glass and "Lady of Lyons,'' besides
all the stage properties of each piece.
The sale was numerously attended by
the theatrical profession, but the prices
realized were not entirely satisfactory to
the Lily. 1t is thought the auction in
dicates her determination not to appear
in this country. She is preparing to de-
part for Europe and next season she is to
play in England.

p. 0. Sullivan,the ice man, was arraigned

regard to alleged assassins are flying
about but cannot be verified,
