CHAPTER V,
FRIENDS.

Three days later Nicholas arrived at
Thorne Hill in his usual bright spirits,
apparently, and apparently very happy
10 be at home. He brought the informa-
ton that Mrs. Furnival had died the
night before, and that Job Furnival would
report for work as soon after the funeral
as possible.
The colonel was quite willing that
Furnival should take his time; the main
point was gained in having Nicholas at
home TO turn Floras music. But when
Aleck Gage came an hour later, Nicholas
was off with an ancient umbrella under
his arm, to pay a visit to old man Gilbert.
Gilbert was seated upon the sweet gum
block that occupied one corner of his
hearth, singing a vigorous hymn, while
he worked at one of his round bottomed
baskets. He felt in good heart; his pot
of money was safe, and there had been
no sign of the hungry SOW about the
woods; his "Dominicker" had Matched
every one Of her fifteen eggs, and his
tobacco was thriving; moreover, Mawse
Nicholas was summoned home, out of
harms way, and he had not been obliged
to betray the young mans secret. ''Weil.
.uhbe sho," he commented, in pause Of
his singing, put of 20 lef' shoe when
the squeech owl holiers, en- you'll ward
off dezaster.
Something darhened the daylight, and
he looked up, and behold! Nicholas was
standing in the doorway. Supreme de-
light in this sudden, unexpected vision
blinded his eyes, at first, 10 the faded
umbrella.

Glory-Ann came struggling up the
steps, half dragging, half carrying Missy,
a fantastic figure. clad in a long white
gown, on her head little cap fashioned
of the broad, stiff magnolia leaves. pinned
together with thorns; IN her hand long
wand of spirea, with three green leaves
atop.

Financial Distress, But Not Death.
New ORLEANS, La, April 25.-The
Times-Democrat's Bayou Sara special,
referring to the great Morgan Sea
crevasse, says: Here the water of the
river is only about q foot or less be-
low the crown of the levee, which at
the break was twenty-siX feet high
with base of over 200 feet. The
break Is now So me 1909 hundred wide,
and is caving off at the lower edge at
the rate of 800 feet in TWEEN ty-four
hours. Capt. Kingman estimates the
discharge through this crevass at
over 10000 cubic feet per second.
Every effort will be used to protect
what remains of Morgan Sea with as
little delay as possible. The United
States steamer Ruby, with a
gang of thirty men, is engaged
in securing a supply of willows
for the mattresses and the towboat
Prince and tug Hilda arrived off the
crevasse with a barge load of rock
from New Orleans with which to load
the mattress. Capt. Kingman ex-
poets to have the matresst ready to
sink tonight. The stories of suffer
ing and danger Of loss of life in this
overflow are, to say the least, prema-
ture; that financial calamity has fall
len upon this splendid section of Lou
isiana is unfortunately too true, but
to attempt to color it with tragedy is
manifestly absurd.

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1890-09-11

The revised census of Helena, which
will give us $4,000 to $4,000 inhabitants
when the figures are complete is on the
whole as satisfactory as could be ex-
pected under the conditions. As The
INDEPENDENTS advertising columns
have attested, there has been an unpre-
cedented demand for laborers in new
railroad enterprises the past month.
Every man in Helena who has desired
employment has found his services in
demand, and between 1000 and 5000
men have gone to work at big wages on
the new lines of railroad north and
west. Taking this fact into considera-
ton, and bearing in mind that at least
an equal number Of miners, ood-chop-
pers and others who make Helena their
home, arc temporarily absent from the
city, we have very satisfactory
accounting for 10000 as prosperous, con-
tented and aforementioned people as
can be found on the round globe. And
still we have room for more.

THE CITY JAIL.
1t Is Behind the Times and There Is Room
for Improvement

1t Is Behind the Times and There Is Room
for Improvements
Some day there will be Jail delivery
from the place where the city prisoners are
now locked up. But for the vigilance of
the officers such an occurrence might have
taken place any day during fair week when
some pretty hard characters were confined
there. The present arrangements are an
Gent and not at all in keeping with the re-
quirements of the city. The marshal's
Office ia also behind the times. He has but
one room for his use. Here the prisoners
are first brought and searched. and their
names put on the docket. It is too small
to meet the present demands. Chief Beary
says good many improvements could be
made about the place. A private room
where prisoners can be taken and examined
is quite necessary. Another room devoted
exclusively to the use of the police could be
used to advantage and would serve to make
their headquarters more comfortable and
attractive. This could also be utilized as a
reading room for the men while off duty.
In all probability the voters of the county

from such condition will at least be
exceedingly narrow" This is very
conservative opinion, and the estimate
of the minority of the house appropria-
tions committee that there will be a de.
felt of 100000 is much more likely
to be verified.
