City Treasurer Folk is about the busiest
man in Helena now-a-days. He puts in
long hours and with his two assistants, Ed
Wentz and Joseph Schvalep. il kept rush.
ing from morning until night writing out
tax receipts. Since last Thursday hs has
been at his Office until u o'clock at night,
and it is kept open from six in the morning
until II p. m. Monday night he remained
At work until three .. n. Probably Mr..
Folks Office has had more visitors within
the past week than any place in town. Az
is usually the case people hold OF until the
last moment to pay their taxes. On Mon
day over 160 receipts were written out be-
sides great mass which were sent to the
mail. Many Taxpayers enclose check in
the mail for their taxes, but O. it requires
all the time Of the force to attend to tax
payers who 20 in person to the ONCE. the
mail matter cannot be touched until after
crowded all day long. Not complaint or
9rumble was heard and all were courteous
y treated. It requires some little time
in many cases to check up the property.
There are many people who have bought
property during the year and hold bond
ior deed. These people understand that
they we're to pay the taxes on the property,
but as the property has not been trans
fefred to them yet the, they of course, were
not knowA as property owners TO the as
SCISSOR and in such cases the records have to

land checked off. II tell you this job At
this time Of year 10 no sinecure," said Irons
urer Folk when a reporter chauced to catch
him during temporary lull. II have not
had meal at home for a week. Yes there
is decided improvement il the money
channels. OF course We have to take city
warrants in payment whore the original
owners hold the paper; but have put my
foot down on scalpers. We had TO do it or
there would have been very little money
taken in. Talk about work. Besides at
tending to the collection Of taxes have the
quarterly and monthly pay rolls to make
out. Interest on the sewer Donds to the
amount OF about IS 600 falls due January /.
Then the volunteer fireuen como in for
their quarterly payment of $50 each, be-
sides the regulars. The police force and
street department will also be
side Of the bond interest this Office will
have to pay ont about $1,000. Then there
are the quarterly licenses to collect But I
am doing my best and expect to get away
with the whole business in good shape. No
don't expect the delinquent list will be
very large. There are good many cases
where taxpayers won't be notified until to-
day. This is the last day for receiving
taxes at their face amount. After to-day
10 per cent. interest will be added. In view
OF this it behooves every body to settle up
to-day. Our Office will open at O'Clock
and continue SO until midnight"

Have Two Moro CassA In the
District Court

Henry G. Yaeger, who IL administrator
Of the estate of william A. Dewar, mas ap-
pealed TO the supreme court Of the state
from an order of the district court direct
ing division OF the estate. Dewar was an
old soldier and was we'll known in Helena.
Come time in 1883 he went to New York
and there mysteriously disappeared. The
last trace Of him was his signature on the
register Of the Aston house in that city.
His friends have always believed that he
met with foul play. At the time of his dis
appearance he owned property in the cen
trail portion OF Helena valued ct $4,000. A
decree of court made some time afterwards
declared Dewar dead and H. G. Yaeger was
appointed administrator Of his estate.
After comfortable search and correspond
ence with lawyer in Canada. Sallie Nc
QuAlg and Mary Dewar were ascertained to
be sisters of Dewar and entitled to . share
in the division of the estate. Their interest
was subsequently purchased by Louis Davis
and A. J. Steele. It has also boon made to
appear that Dewar had two brothers and 1t
i 6elievsd that they are alive. The where
abouts OF the brothers have not yet been
ascertained.
In his accounting of the administration
OF the estate YaeRer charged certain
amounts to the estate d fees due him. 10
this Davis and Steele objected. The pro-
bate judge at that time under the territor-
ial form of government Was Judge Howey,
who overruled the objections. Davis and
Steele made application to the territorial
district court, claiming that they had
bought the rights Of the two sisters to the
entire estate. Judge Hunt decided the APP
pealed case, ruling that the two sisters were
the sole heirs and disallowing the admins

TO BUILD A LONG SEWER.
The Allegheny Cemetery Company Maxim
an Excavation TO the River.


The Allegheny Cemetery Company Making
an Excavation TO the River.
There is in course of construction a new
sewer from the Allegheny Cemetery wall,
on Butler street, along Forty-eighth street
to the Allegheny river. The contractor,
Mr.. Michael Gallagher, has over 100 men
working on the job. The new sewer will be
about 16 inches in diameter, and will be at
least 2, 500 yards long.
For some time the cemetery has been in
efficiently irrigated. The company got an
ordinance passed by Councils to tear up
Forty-eighth street, SO that they could lay a
sewer from the cemetery to the river to take
away all the bad water. 1t is expected that
the work will be completed by spring. The
sewer will be built entirely of brick; the in
side will be lined by Portland cement about
one-half an inch thick.
The construction of tie sewer is consid-
cred difficult piece of work because there
will have to be several hundred feet of tun-
neling done. Between the cemetery wall
and Forty-eighth street, the contractor will
be obliged to bore under the Citizens Trac-
tion line, and another tunnel will have to
be made at the foot of Forrv-elghth street,
and the river. The latter will be the most
difficult; as about 800 yards of excavating
will have to be done before the river is
reached.
The work will cost in the neighborhood
Of $4,000. When it is completed it is ex-
pected to make the cemetery one of the
most luxuriant and healthy in the country.

A Team Of Prize Animals Which Attracts
Much Attention.
Eight splendid dapple gray horses har-
messed to tremendous chariot attracted un-
usual attention while being driven through
the city streets yesterday. Their great size
and beauty, their handsome silVer-mounted
harness jingling with bells and the gorgeous
vehicle to which they were attached were all
calculated to attract the notice of everybody
near. The equipage and horses are the prop
erty of The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Co. The horses average LOO pounds weight,
and several of them took prizes in Madison
Square Garden, New York, three years ago.
Offers OF s., 900 each have been refused for
these. They are perfectly matched, and
draw with ease the chariot weighing 5000
pounds empty. or $4,000 pounds when load
ed. They left New York is weeks ago,
travelling overland to Paterson, N. j., Mid
dletown, Ellenville, Utica, Syracuse,
Oswego, Rochester, Niagara Falls, and
Buffalo, N. Y; thence by rail, in their
special palace horse car, to Cleveland, To-
ledo, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Gin
cinnati and now Pittsburg, reaching here in
the finest possible condition. They remain
two weeks in this city, distributing fancy
pictures, circulars and pamphlets Tor The
Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. Mr..
Stewart, the gentleman in charge of the
outfit, reports that the A. & P. Company's
stores at the places above mentioned are do
ing an excellent business and have most en-
couraging prospects for the coming year.
Nowhere is the situation better than in
Pittsburg, where The Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company has found its business
increase wonderfully under the manage
ment of Mr.. Owen Jones, who has succeeded
in establishing for it an enYiable reputa-
tion for fair dealing and excellence of the
teas and coffees they sell. The principal
stores are "a Fifth avenue, Pittsburg, and
126 Federal street, Allegheny.

ship Unexpectedly.
Robinson township farmers stand chance
of being able to wipe their weeping eyes ere
long, what promises to be one of the
largest, if not the largest, wells in the
county. On Tuesday morning the sand
was reached in the Will on the Wettengail
farm, near Remingto A., and the hole began
to fill with oil at the rate of more than 15O
feet an hour. No ones head was turned by
the announcement, but on Thursday even
ing the well, without any agitation, began
to flow and as it was unex, ccted, several
hundred barrels of oil ran on the ground
and were wasted; the great strength of the
flow making tank connection impossible for
time. Yesterday morning they succeeded
in putting in an oil saver. No gauge has
yet been taken, but the drillers say she's q
hustler.
The strike developed craze sufficient to
start the building Of 20 derricks yesterday
morning, one of them on the Bell farm, now
owned by the Mansfield Coal and Coke
Company, a mile and half from the Wet
tengail gusher.
Another we'll near the Wettengail No.
came in on Tuesday and is pumping 30
barrels day. The wells in that territory
promise to last well. The old Arbuckle is
still keeping up her late gait, The Davis
No. 1 has been drilled in, and is doing loo
barrels. The dep, in Montour run, is
keeping up its flow in manner that aston.
ishes its owners.
