MIssoULA. April 29.-As the first Of
May approaches and the seating os the
newly elected mayor and allermsn 10
nearly at hand, speculation a. to munic,-
pal appointments for the ensuing term "
rife. The citizens Of Missoula have no
occasion to fear that tho appointees viii

man. and he will make his appointments
solely In the interest Of tho welfare at the
city. ! venture the prediction that the
new mayor will reappoint City Clerk Hob
litxeli and City Marshal Clarence Pres
colt. The former will undoubtedly give
entire satisfaction. whiio the latter ap-
pointment may not meet with such
hearty approval from Q certain element.
Prescott, however. has been fairly good
officer. has kept the city well policed. and
has enforced all ordinances affecting the
peace and dignity Of the city SO far % IL
has been within his power to do so. Mis-
soula. morally, will compare favoeably
with any othor city In Montana, or In the
Northwest for that matter. There 10

ment that Is popularity supposed to revsi
in this part OF tho country, and il is
largely due to tho fact that the present
city marshal has never allowed II To secure
foo,hold here. So there 10 hardly any
question but that Prescott will bs ap-
pointed to succeed himself ~ city mar

The evaneelists. Reid and Webb, are
holding forth AT Sweeney hall. on Cedar
street. The audiences. up TO the present.
time, have not been large. and have been
composed principally Of people well along
| In years, who ought to have experienced
religion long. long ago. Of course, Il is
tho duty Of the evangelists to try to incul.
cate the principles Of religion aud saliva
tiou into the minds OF the old ~ vol -
tho young. bat more attention should be
given TO the latter. who arc not In ths
habit OF attending regularly ths services
held In the different churches. But this
| is, so to speak. n sort OF refined salvation
army proposition. minus the red shirt,
base drum, street parade and general aus
turl,ancs of tho peace. However, the
meetings are well worth attending. TIE
merchants In the city have fallen into
sympathy with the evanessists end. in
order that their employees may have an
\ opportunity to attend these revival ser
vices, have agreed to close their places OF
business st O'Clock each evening during
the continuance Of these meetings. IL 10
an opou question whethsr the evanesltsts
Or the less moral sttrsctions offered by the
AAscot thcAter will receive the larger pat
ronass, as the result Of the tsmporAsy
