OUR COAL MEASURES.
The sand Coulee and Belt Mines at the
Very Gates of the City--wonder-

ful Deposits.
Great Falls is peculiarly fortunate in
having at her very doors inexhaustible
beds OF coal. The Sand Coulee coal
mines are at present, beyond any doubt
working larger force of men than any
similar industry in the state. The COM
pany now employ between $50 and 400
men, and the amount paid out each
month in wages runs from $4,000 to
$4,000. Ever since the mines were
opened they have been worked with
abundant success, and at present the
main tunnel extends fully mile into the
very heart Of the mountain. The coal is
OF the very finest quality and is used ali
along the line of the Great Northern
and Montana Central railways. Besides
the Sand Coulee mines, which are. by
the way, located not over fifteen miles
from Great Falls, there are the immense
Belt deposits. These are located about
twenty-five miles from Great Falls. and
while they have not as yet been largely
worked, sufficient has been done to show
that the quality is excellent and the de-
posits practically inexhaustible.
Both of these mining centers are in
easy reach of Great Falls Their only
railroad connection is with this city and
the towns built around them are tribu-
,tary to and draw their supplies from
here.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
value of these great beds of fuel situated
thus near the city, their quality unques
toned while the supply is limitless. The
Sand Coulee company has shipped as
much as l,2OO tons per day.
Doubtless some day they will prove
valuable property and will
fuel for many forge in many a
great manufactory Besides supplying a
population. which shall be counted by
ems of thousands.

Whisky Plays Hell I'm
Preachers Family.

Mrs j. Harry Long, the eldest
daughter Of Rev. John S. Sweeney
of Paris, Ky, the wife ola whisky
warehouse guager, at Midway, has
deserted her husband and two chill
dren and run off with a saloon
keeper named Jack Green.
The combination "LOng- Green
sounds like a tobacco brand. and il
she goes back on Jack, then we
will have the other brand Lone
Jack"
It's awful; but that's the way
we are doing here in Kentucky.
"No chastisement for the pres
ent seemeth good, but after awhile
it worketh the peaceable fruits OF
Righteousness"
This thing will come home to
our people after while.
Elder Jno. S. Sweeney has been
great religious debater for years.
His main subject is water. and the
special thing to be determined is
to find out how much of it it takes
to 6aptise a fellow. l am SO years
old and l have been tired of hear
ing about it for at least forty years.
and it seems to me that everybody
else Of any brains is the same way.
1t will take something like this
to make the preachers let water
alone and tackle phisky.
Rev. Sweeney lives in Paris, the
county seat of Bourbon, that fur
nishes the name for the double
distilled hell fire that it sends all
over the world-that is the Chris
tiau world; the Mahometans won't
drink it, and the natives of Congo
in Africa, have lately held a big
Prohibition meeting, and said they
would not take any more "Bour-
bon" in theirn.
Some time ago a lady who be-
lieves in Brother Sweeney's relig.
ious faith, told me of a gentleman
being elected to a high office in
Paris. had known of him as q
most consistent Christian gentle
man, and q member of Brother
Sweeney's church. l expressed
surprise that a man of that kind
could get to be elected to an office
in Paris. "Yes, but he has been
drinking good deal for some tim,
back" said the lady.

he Ollcc COmmlCtco met AT
the Mayors office last night with
Messrs. Yellman, Bruce, Maloney,
Treacy and Benckart present.
A complaint was presented
which set forth that the saloon of
q w. Gray, on Main street, op-
posite the Phoenix, is ~ nuisance
Oh account of the lOafers who COL
lect in front of the place, noise
and disturbances, etc. Chief OF
Police Lusby appeared before the
Committee and stated that the
house was run in a very loose
manner and was decidedly
"tough" place. lie presented a
list of names of the men and boys
who cOngregate in and about the
establishment, which made any
thing but an impression favorable
to the proprietor upon the Com
mittee.
The matter was discussed by
the members at length, and after
hearing the Chiefs graphic re-
port, the sentiment was largely
in favor of revoking Mr.. Gray's
license at once.
Mr.. Benckart said Gray was a
poor man and he disliked to take
his business away from him with
out giving him a chance. Mr..
Yellman voted with Mr.. Benck-
art, believing that he should have
one opportunity to run a more
orderly house before being
thrown out of business. The
others voted to recommend the
withdrawal of the license, and in
this shape the matter will be
brought before the Council at the
next meeting. Chief Lusby
stated that it was almost impos.
siblc for his men to keep the
sidewalks clear at that point and
frequent warnings failed to have
any effect upon MIR. Gray.-Lex-
ingtOn Transcript.
This is a fair sample of the way
they do things in this town.
Here are five men to whom the
old aristocratic and high-toned
people of this town have to go
when they want q redress OF their
grievances.
Benckart is saloon keeper.
Sometime since while he was o
councilman, went to him to get
him to sign a petition to remove
some houses OF i'll repute in front
of which the finest ladies OF the
city, and the young lady pupils of
the new "Industrial School" had
to pass in going to that institu-
ton. Benckart refused to do so,
assigning as his reason that the
women of these houses were his
customers.
Benckart also keeps u small
corner grocery in connection with
his saloon.
Asa newspaper reporter | went
once to see u family that were
poisoned and suffering tearfully.
They told me that they were
poisoned by meal that they got
from Benckart's grocery.

The account is as follows:
DRUNKENNESS IN THE SENATE.
Enough "cold teaV has proba-
bly, been consumed in the various
rooms and recesses of the Nation 8
capital building to float the navy.
While many of the Nations law
makers are total abstainers many
of them are familiar with the
musical gurgle of the jug and are
accustomed to look upon the ar
dent when it is red, and to tarry
at the wine when it giveth its
color in the cup. Our Prohibi-
ton friends will doubtless read
the following extract from the
letter of a Chicago Herald CORE
spondent with bitter pain and
fearful sighs of regret. In truth
it is not pleasant reading for any
body who believes in common
decency.
The triumph of the silver men
in the Senate was marked by a
consumption of whisky almost
without parallel in the annals OF
the Senate chamber. At least
dozen grave and reverend Sena-
tors were SO much under the in
fuence OF liquor that their condi-
ton was easily noticeable by
their manner and speech. Two
or three were actually. drunk.
Night sessions always bring on
more or less guzzling among Sem
ators, but it is said by old habitues
of the capitol that the record was
broken last night. Both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans were
among the offenders, and while
more of the bibulous Senators
were silver men, celebrating their
approaching triumph, the guz.
zling was by no means confined
to their ranks. Where the whis
ky was kept no one appears to
know, but there can be no great
mystery about this, for it is an
open secret that wines and liquors
are sold by the drink and bottle
at the Senate restaurant, notwith-
standing the rule against it. In
addition to this, bottles and jugs
are kept in many committee
rooms, and it is even rumored
that last night there was snug
little sideboard in one of the cloak
rooms. Among the Senators
who had a large load of intoxi-
cants aboard was one of the old
est and most famous statesmen
from New England. His nose
was fiery red, and, as his wont,
he sat snnggled well down in his
chair, twirling his thumbs and
rubbing his proboscis, the while
making satirical and humorous
remarks about the proceedings.
Some of his comments were such
as to set those who heard them
in a roar, and no pretense of adj
monishing the Senator to respect
the dignity of the chamber was
made by the presiding officer
These remarks were often made
in such loud tones us to be easily
heard by the occupants OF the
galleries, and the laughter ex-
tended from Senators to specta-
tors. Another Senator who has
been conspicuous among the ad-
vocates OF free coinage was nearly
drunk, and sat in his chair en-
deavoring with i'll success to keep
awake and alert. lie sprawled
his legs far apart and every min
ute or two expcctOrated in such
quantities and with such great
force, and with such utter reck-
lessness, that those about him
moved away to safer distance.
Once in u while this Senator
reused himself and made some
remarks, which, thanks to the
skill and generosity of the official
reporters, read very smoothly in
the Congressional Record. An

The Contempt Proceedings Against
the Morning News.
The contempt case of Reporter J. J.
Doolan Of the MORNING NEWS, which was
set for trial in the city court yesterday has
been indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Doolan and his attorney, Mr.. Rich
ards, were in court at the appointed time
ready co "show cause' to the rule for
contempt, but Judge Harden said he
he was not positive about the law govern
ing ths case at issue and preferred to read
the authorities and discuss the matter with
the attorneys before proceeding further.
MIR. Richards again announced that he was
ready on that score, but Judge Harden said
the case would have to be postponed, ard
Informed Mr.. Doolan that there would not
be any necessity for him to appear unless
further ordered
The probability is that the contempt pro-
ceedinge will not proceed any further, be-
cause Of the remote possibility of ever be-
ing able to find contempt in the publication
under the many decisions handed down in
similar questions in many portions of the
United States.
There was a large number Of people pres
ert in the court room anxious to see the re-
suit of the unique case.
