purchase goods.

court yesterday A man was arrested fol
offensive inebriation, or in other words
the man was drunk.

A lady teacher Of music inserted her
professional card in certain local paper.
1t was seen by an old lover in Chicago,
who at once hunted her up, explained
his absence Of a quarter Of a century, and
married her. 1t pays to advertise.
Jerry Collins went to Helena on Sun
days train. Jerry will probably feel very
lonesome, being almost the only demo-

However, it is only short time since
Jerry was leading republican, and it is
about time for him to flop over again.

J. n. White and Archie Whyte, com
positors on the LEADER, are entitled
to special consideration for their heroic

They worked hard both day and night,
and did good many things that some
regulars would have kicked about.
Charles Jetfries, sheriff Of Lewis and
Clarke county passed through Great Falls
Sunday evening on his way to the North

who was elected representative from the
famous Knute Nelson district against the

the stations with almost perfect regularity
every day. The conductors are accom-
modating and pleasant gentlemen and
the men are under good discipline.
Every one of them prides himself on
performing his duties to the satisfaction
of his employers. The dining service on
the Montana Central and Manitoba is
unexcelled. BY connecting with the
Union Pacific the route to San Francisco
is 225 shorter than by any other road.
