While we are observing Washington's

where and how the Father Of his Country,
during his lifetime, celebrated the I'D Of
February. This question is answered in an
interesting way in the following article.

The Northwestern Cases.

i Judge N. M. Hubbard, of Cedar Rap
ids and attorney for the Chicago &
North Western railroad, was in Audi
bon last Friday and Saturday, repre-
senting his company as defendant in
one criminal and one civil action. The
latter is the case of Chas. Ochiltree
claiming $500 damages for injuries re-
ceived last February, when team
which Mrs. Ochiltree was driving be-
came frightened and she was thrown
from the buggy, The plaintiffs petition
asked for $500 damages only, but 1t has
since been learned that she will In all
probability be an invalid for life, hence
the plaintiffs attorney, ii. U. Funk
fled an amendment, claiming $1,000
damages Judge Hubbard was sur
prised" by this document and asked for
extension of time to prepare his defense.
The case was postponed until after the
holidays, when II is expected an ems
deayor will be made to remove the ease
to the United States court on the
ground of local prejudice. In the case
of the indictment for obstructing the
public highway Judge Hubbard was
more tractable, stating that his com
pany was willing and ready to do just
what County Attorney Hanna wanted
them TO do. Upon this ground lie Sc
cured u continuance and II is probable
that the track will be so laid as to Sc
cure public safety, and that is really all
that should be cxacted under the cir
cumstances. AS this case was one that
could not be removed from the local
court, the suave Judge was confronted
by condition and not theory, but he
met II heroically and effectually.

The immense crowd in town last Sat
urday was one of the attractions that
are seen only in Audubon,a town
with vast trade territory--and it would
seem that on that day the whole people
had congregated. The volume of trade
was large, though the mild weather
does not cause heavy goods to move as
rapidly as our merchants might wish.
The meeting of the Audubon County
Educational Association held at Extra
last Saturday was the largest and best
yet held. Over sixty enthusiastic teach,
ers were in attendance, showing live.

topics in a manner which indicated
their interest in the work. The next

A four-compartment shaft is being
sunk between the company's east and
west C0lusa claims, called the Lewisohn.
1t has reached a depth of 275 feet, and
will be continued to the 1000 foot point,
Plats will be cut at intervals, the first one
at the 5OO-foot point. 1t is the intention
to work these two claims through this
shaft, and, in addition, to make connec-
tons between it and the Mountain View,
another of the company's properties.
This connection will furnish a much
more economical outlet for Mountain
View ore, saving a greater hoist and
much surface hauling. The engine for
the hoisting plant is to be duplicate of
the one at the tunnel. II is expected to
be delivered January 1. At the Mountain
View the shaft is 1000 feet deep. A
large amount of machinery is delivering

Joe Herring has just finished work on
the Cascade Land company's ditch above
Choteau, moved his grading outfit to
Freezout and is in town for a visit. The
ditch on which he has been at work is
taken from the Teton, about 10 miles
above Choteau, and extends nearly two
miles south to Willow creek. The water
from the Teton will be carried to Willow
creek. The ditch is 16 feet wide at the
bottom and deep enough to carry four
feet of water. The water flows down
Willow creek and is taken from that by
another ditch to Spring creek and from
Spring creek another ditch carries 1t in
to Benton lake. From Benton lake
bitches will carry the water over thous-
ands OF acres of rich land north of Great
Falls. AT several places along the canals
and streams bitches will be taken out and
there will be thousands of acres of fine
lands brought under cultivation. There
is no question as to the producing quail
ties of this land when water is abundant
and the completion of the Cascade Land
company's system of canals and bitches
will add much to the material wealth of
ChOteau and Cascade counties.

A SONG OF THE SEA,

The mermaids and mermen below the sea
A wonderful organ made;
With the tenderest care and loving art
It's every part was laid.
Wood they brought from the wrecks below,
And gold where the ships went down;
They used no nails, but fastened it well
With threads from a baby's gown.
One pipe gave the sound Of a song so sweet
That was sung by u beautiful girl;
A mermaid caught 1t, and kept 1t safe,
Wrapped round with a golden curl.
The next pipes note was the sound of a kiss
That a mother gave her son,
AS he stood on the deck of a noble ship
That went down ere the day was done.
This pipe gave forth the sound of u prayer
That was heard when the storm was high;
And next was the laugh from some childrer
dear,
Who saw no danger nigh.
A strong mans voice was heard in the next,
And it was firm and clear,
lie said, God bless you, dear" to his wife,
When he saw that death was near.
80 tho mernaids and merinen gathered all
OF tile voices hid in the deep;
They placed them in the pipes and reeds,
To be reused once more from sleep.
But the beautiful organ displeased the one
Who rules the winds and waves,
For the sounds that were placed in the organs
pipes
Belonged to the ocean's caves.
So he placed them back in the silent depths,
In the caves Of the south and north,
For the vol 'es lost in the sea must stay
Until he calls them forth.
But If you listen, you hear them all
Come up from the sounding sea
The prayer, the song, the kiss, the laugh,
That ONT time shall he free.

he not publish all that was said IN regard

in earnest in this matter and Ioes not
van TO mislead anyone. We believe
that the effects of the Mckinley bill will
be to raise the price on many articles of
daily use. We do not ask you to believe
this without investigation. But we
do want every voter to go to the dry
goods houses, clothing houses. shoe stores
and grocery stores and find out the facts
in the case. Not a single article has be-
come cheaper, but some lines of shoes
have advanced 10 cents on the pair, all
wooden clothing for men is higher, ladies
dress goods cost more and many other
articles are advancing in price. Go and
inquire and you will find that these state
ments are true.

Bargains in Winterwear.

Right now, before extreme cold wealth
err sets in, is the time to look up bargains
in winterwear, such as hosiery, gloves,
mitteus, t1annels, underwear. dress goods,
cloaks, etc, etc. OF cloaks we have had
eight large shipments and yet we cannot
keep up with the demand. 1t is an es-

everything in the cloak line, from the
cheapest to the highest priced, are be-

importance at this time of the year, and
we are showing great bargains in this
line. Those who are acquainted with
our shoe department will decide with us
that we only carry makes we'll known to
the general public and at prices which
cannot be duplicated west of the Missis-
sippi river. Notwithstanding the fact
that most all goods have advanced 90 per

THE CONSUNER PAYS TIE TAN.

Mr.. j. M. Nathan. a representative of a
leading clothing house of San Francisco,
and who is we'll known in Great Falls,
was interviewed recently by the indie
pendent in regard to the effect of the Nc
Kinley tariff law on the prices of goods
in his line. In reply to an inquiry by
the reporter, he said:
" am only a business MAJ and so far
as politics are concerned in the Mckinley
bill | am on neither side. 1t is foolish
for any one to deny that there will be an
increase in the price Of wooden and other
goods owing to the passage OF the Nc
Kinley bill. | lave not been in Il store
within the past two weeks but that | have
run across letters and circulars from
wholesalers announcing an increase in
prices. OF course, on the present stock,
the retailers need not increase their prices,
and perhaps will not, but when they go
into the market to buy new goods they
will have to pay more. The conservative
wholesale houses will not advance prices
all at once; that is to say, the first adj
vance will be about 10 per cent, say
about Nov. / and then another advance
later on. Look at the matter a olne
as a business proposition. You have on
your shelves goods which you cannot go
to the market and duplicate unless you
pay an advance Of 10 or Is per cent over
what they cost you under the old law.
Does it look reasonable that the average
business man will sell the goods for less
than he will have to pay to duplicate
them? | will put in one instance of the
rise IN price. Socks, which l have sold
heretofore for S1.90 II dozen | am now
compelled to charge $40 for"
"But how will the tariff on foreign
goods affect the prices of those of domes-
tic manufacturer" was asked.
"They are bound to go up also. Sup
pose there were two brands of flour in
the Helena market-No. / was sold at S.
a hundred and No. 2 ut $3.50. Owing to
a short supply of No. l there would sud-
denly spring up a demand for No. q.
Would the manufacturers of No. 2 still
sell for $3.50? Not by any means. AS
business men they would take advantage
OF the scarcity of No. 1 and raise the
price of No. 2 to IA or $3.50. This will
be just the case with wooden goods. There
will probably be a falling off in importa-
tions and the domestic manufacturer will
take advantage of this to raise the price
of his goods, and the will pay
as much, or nearly as much, as he does
now for the imported stuff, and will get
in return goods of greatly inferior quail

coinage are reaping their re ward. The
quotation for this morning and for the
opening of the market Monday morning
is $1.O3, and there is ne telling where the
market will 60 tot is absolutely in the
hands of Wall street. The Window bill
was framed with marks of distinguished
consideration for the gold-bug specu-
lators. They intend to show that, be-
cause of its fluctuations in value, silver is
not fit to be a part of the country's cur
rency. 1t is II declaration capable of
demonstration that these men who
worked the lobby when the silver bill
was passed, promised to give silver a
boom about election time, IN order to give
help to men who, like Carter, were faith
less when free coinage had its supreme
test. Wall street has forgotten all about
its promises; it always forgets, and, we
repeat, the men who voted against free
coinage, ten days before election, are
reaping their reward. For Carter that
reward is the wbirlwind.

HOW THE MrRINLEF BILL
WORKS,

One of the great institutions OF Mime
apolis is Donald IS glass block. In an adj
vertisement in the Minneapolis journal
the proprietor sets forth in three columns
and in detail the advance in prices of va
rious lines of goods under the Mckinley
bill and we give the following as a specl-
men brick:

This is IN advertisement but it sets
forth the real facts in the case. The pro-
prietors of the glass block give the fol-
lowing excellent advice to their custo-
mers; "Don't be fooled by misleading
newspaper editorials or silver tongued
