In common with the Odd Fellows Of
the United States, the lodge here, last
night, celebrated the roth anniversary Of
the American branch of the order. The
Kingsbury hall was thronged with gentle
men and ladies who danced with much
ardor until a late hour. The music was
provided by Races orchestra. Refresh
ments were served in the lodge room,
the mysterious appearance of which
greatly impressed the ladies.
Major Roman and his interesting
daughter Mary left on the Helena train.
The genial major was greatly pleased
with his visit to this good city in which
he is a property holder. In company
with Mr. T. E. Collins he visited the sub
urbs and observed that Great Falls was
spreading on all sides. Major Roman
was glad to meet here many old-timers
and to hear at the TRIBUNE office the
rumble of machinery which recalled the
days when he and Major Maginnis pub
lished the Helena Independent. He re-
ports the Indians on the Flathead reser-
Walton which he controls, as happy and
contented. They have a good deal OF
land under cultivation and are acquiring
all the virtues Of civilization with none
of its vices.
Messrs. Marvel and Whitney of the
Manitoba railroad arrived today and pro-
ceeded in their private car to Butte.
They will return soon and Mr.. Marvel
will remain few days. Mr.. Marvel
says that the colonist special rate to Great
Falls and Halena will be reduced to $25
about May 1st, that is about $3.50 below
the present second class rate. Mr.. Man
vel was gratiied at the success of the

Element of this region and the country
north of hara Tho eatt1oro tpho havo
come here are energetic, intelligent
farmers who are either native born
Americans or have lived a long time in
the country. They are strong, self-reli

which affects the entire country as wei
as Montana.
Mr.. J. H. Mcknight of this city sole
his business at Fort Shaw to j. W. Nc
Knight, the latter succeeding the former
as post trader. The present trader, J. W
Mcknight, has been recently tried ano
convicted for violating the new 'sure
thing" gambling law and as many people
throughout the county and TERRITORY
seem to think it was j. II. that was haul
Cd over the legal Goals for gambling, W.
desire to here state that such is not the
case. It is another Mcknight altogether
But this is not the deepest disgrace hi
has fallen into on account of similarity oil
names. One of the most estimable ladie!
of the city recently threw away in dis
gust the nasty morning sheet published
here and turning to her husband said
III always thought Mr.. Joe Mcknight was
nice, sensible gentleman and l an
ashamed to think he would write suct
disgusting stuff as daily appears in tina
paper" This is the unkindest cut of al
and it is probable that Joe will apply tt
the next legislature to have his name
changed.
We would draw the attention of thu
public to the fact that the Presbyterian
church still keeps up its record in it
laudable effort to make their church
most attractive and enjoyable Sabbatl
house. The appreciation of the public /
shown in a large and increasing attend

room and new church would seem the
outcome of this state of affairs The
trustees have during the past week hac
the church most tastefully decorated
walls and ceiling also, the effect being
most pleasing. Nor can we refrain from
saying that Mr. Hunt has put on perma
nent record fine advertisement, which
bears ample testimony as to his skill ant
artistic taste. Shade trees have BEEF
planted in front of the church lots and
lamp now stands on the sidewalk nea
the ediice to light worshippers to an,
from the church. Such commendabl
zeal for the comfort of all Corners is meet
