WRETCRED MAIL SERVICE.
The People of Fergus and ether Counties
Subjected to Great Inconvenience.
Illelcna Hernld.l

Complaints in great numbers continue to
pour in from the people of Fergus and other
northern counties over the poor mail ser.
vice. Many visitors in the city from those
localities in no gentle terms denounce the
wretched mail fIci lities between Great
Falls and Fergus county points aud con-
denim the postal authorizes in Washington
Tor allowing such "A condition OF affairs to
exist. They all unite il saying that Helena
papers do not reach them until they are
two, three or four days old, or until they
are ancient history, and unless this state
of affairs improves materially before the
first of the yearthose taking Helena papers
will discontinue them. Great blame is at
tached to the Great Northern railway com
pany and "A question that is heard Oh all
sides is, how the Great Northern can take
IA contract for carrying the mail to Armiug-
ton, the distribution point, three times a
week and forthwith pull oif train, so that
It does only two-thirds of the work it
agreed tai do.
The railroad company recently received
a contract to carry tn. mail three times a
week to Arlington, Neihart aud Barker,
while the stage was to carry it the other
three days. soon after getting the con-
tract one train was taken of, so the COM
pany is being paid for n tri-weekly service,
while furnishing II bi-weekly ont, and as
the stage company only carries it three
times a week it can readily be seen that the
residents of that part of the state are not
receiving a square deal. The agent at Arm
ington has no arrangement for conveying
the mail from the depot to the postoffice
SO part of the tim he only carries the let
tiers and leaves the paper mail lying in the
depot Tor Al day or so.
The arrangement as it now exists is a
rank injustice I" the people of Fergus
county aud the business men nf this city
and Great Falls, who look fortrade in this
prosperous section should take quick and
effective steps toward having il remedied.

ONLY ONE HELD.
Alleged Train Robbers Discharged-one Has
Confessed.

GREAT FALLS, Dec. S.-The examination
of the four men accused Of stopping the
Great Northern train carrying United
States mail, was finished this morning be-
fore United States COMMISSIONS r Po1neroy.
All were discharged with the exception of
Bass, who will be turned over to- the au-
thorities of Dawson county, to be tried for
highway robbery. The evidence against
the Others was purely circumstantiHl from
the first. Madden, confined in jail at Ben
ton, turned states evidence and confessed
that Bass. Longbaugh and himself were
the robbers. so the others had to he re-
leased. a posse spent several days seour-
ing the country around Malta in search Of
L~ougbaush, bat had TO give up the chase,
as he was too clever for them. He il
thought to be hiding in the bad lands ef

his freedom ii he t~estiies against Bass.
Black, Hunt and Ebaugh returned to

they should sign "A document agreeing that

1t was not thought that the men had any
intention Of suing for damages Sor unjust
incarceration, but they were without money
and wanted to go home and the action of
the company was merely a precautionary
measure
Bass was taken to Benton yesterday by
Detective Black. He had shackles on his
ankles and evidenced the fact that he was
very restless as he sat ia the depot talking
to his attorney just before the train ar
rived. The confession made by Madden
duplicates Bass, aud an officer spoken to
regarding the matter says he is ofthe opin-
ion that when Bass sees his confederate
and learns what has been told he too will
confess, and that when the case is called
for trial both men will plead guilty and
throw themselves upon the mercy OF the
court.

crime said Attorney Baum yesterday

The Choteau County Returns.

special says: The first bout in the
legal battle for the political control OF
the Montana legislature occurred to-
day before the supreme court. The
Choteau county board of canvassers
had been directed by a mandate is
sued by chief justice in vacation to
show cause why they they had thrown
out the returns from Box Elder pre-
cinct. Counsel for the Democrats to-
day argued at length the point that
one justice OF the supreme court could
not issue u writ of mandate and also
that the entire court could rot do so
in vacation. The court will decide the
point tomorrow.

THE HOUSEHOLD

Each day holds reason for gratitude.
There is no merit in a good deed
prompted by selfish motives.
One reason why some people never
do much good is because they are not
willing to do a little at time
The true poet is all the time trying to
tell tn eworld something that God has
told him.
Cecil: Self-will is so ardent and ac-
tive that it will break a world to pieces
TO make a stool to sit on.
One of the greatest causes of trouble
in this world is the habit people have
of talking faster than they think.
People who have the least sympathy
for others are those who have been the
least tried and tempted themselves.
Addison: knowledge is that which,
next to virtue, truly and essentially
raises one man above another
Do you always desire to be almost
always amiable and in good humor?
Then be at peace always with God and
with yourself.
Burke: All the possible charities Of
life ought to be cultivated, and when
we can neither be brethren nor friends
let us be kind neighbors and pleasant
acquaintance.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1892-09-01

in graphic words a state of things
which has not been seen At any time
since as follows:
Who is hungTy:-Go and see. You
that are full fed and know not what it
is to be hungTy-perhaps never saw
hungry mango and see Go and see
thousand men, women, boys, girls
cid and young, black and white, Of all
nations but one-there are no Ameri-
cans-croWding and jostling each other
almost fighting for first chance-act-
ing more like hungry wolves than hui
man beings in a land Of plenty. .
Such n scene may be seen every day
from II ill = o'clock around the corner
Of Orange and Chatham streets, where
Lindenutuller gives a dinner to the
poor and soup and bread to others to
carry to their miserable families =
On Saturday we spent an hour there
at the time of high tide. We have never
seen anything like it before. On Friday
upward of a thousand people were fed
with u plate of soup, piece of bread,
and a piece Of meat on the premises,
and in all upward of 1000. On the
same day 1,130 portions of soup were
dealt out from Stuart's soup kitchen
in the rear of the great marble palace
store, corner of Reade street and
Broadway. AT the rooms in Duane
street for the relief Of the poor of the
sixth ward on the same day, it is cal
culated that 1000 meals were given
say 100 different persons fed. Counting
the number at the old BOWery mission
at One-haf that number we have in
persons fed by charity on Friday, Jan
uary II. RecOllect this is only one day
in one ward
1t is scarcely possible by any one
word to add to the force of this object
lesson. National disaster has come
but never such disaster. Short crops,
the civil war with all its horrors, wide
spread commercial calamity, have never
brought back to New York the scenes
witnessed when a tariff for revenue
only was i'll force. Merchants and bank
ers by the thousand failed when the
civil war broke out, but the labOring
millions were unable to earn their bread.
MisfOrtunes have come since protection
began, but have never reached the
laboring millions SO far that the dis
tress of 1855, under the reevnue tariff
has been produced. The generation
now living has never witnessed, has no
personal experience Of the painful con-
Which followed the reduction
of duties to a revenue basis in 1916.
