REVOLUTION IN GREECE.
Parlsians Believe That Country viii
Be a Republic.


Be a Republic.
PARIS, July 1.-THE startling news has
been received here that a revolution
has occurred in Greece; that King
George has add Gated and that the peo-
pie of Athens, backed by soldiery,
have proclaimed Greece a republic.
The event was so sudden and uneX-
pected that particulars of it are as yet
but mere rumors. No official verifica-
tion of it can be obtained at this hour,
but considering the dissatisfaction prev
alent for some time and the impulsive
character CT the people, it is not re-
garded as improbable. A cable similar
to the above was received in this city
by prominent Greek. Several Greeks
were seen in regard to il, but they had
no information to give. While sur
prised, they thought it not improbable
Their countrymen, they say, have long
been hoping aud planning TO make their
country an independent republic.

TIL. Yesrer Forgery Case,

sustained the motion of the attorneys
for Mrs. Minnie G. Yesler to dismiss the
charge Of forgery made against her for
destroying her millionaire husbands
will on the ground that an act of the
Taft legislature repealed the law under
which Mrs. Yesler was indicted. Pros
ecuting Attorney j. f. Miller gave
notice of an appeal to the supreme
court from Judge Humes' ruling. The
charges Of forgery against DR.. j E.
Jordan and DR.. Fl. NJ. Vanburen, who
were indicted with Mrs. Yesler will of
course be dismissed by this ruling. The
charge of conspiracy, under which all
three Of the defendants were also in
dicted is not affected, however, and
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

Wardner CabIn-A Fight over
Game of Cards.

tered the cabin of Billey Shipley for
the purpose of robbery. When the ruff

asleep. He thought it was roommate
and paid no attention to the maneuvers
until they had lighted the match When
they discovered Shipley on the bed they
rushed TO him and pointed revolver in
his face and demanded his money. Ship
ley caught the revolver. The masked
men jerked it away from him and both
jumped on him and beat him over the
head with the butt of the revolver until
he was nearly insensible. His cries
alarmed the neighbors, but before as
sistance came these border rufians had
escaped without obtaining one cent for
their efforts. Shipley is terribly bruised
and cut, but will recover.

his revolver and struck Danforth sew
eral blows over the head. His wounds
are quite serious. Bradley and Faust

An Early Settler.


One of Dayton's pioneers has Just
made a revisit to the scene Of his early
trials. n M. Chase, now of Barr stable.
Mass with nine companions, built a
fort in what is now Dayton thirty-nine
years ago. TheIe he proposed to take
up land and fence it in. 1t was during
I he troublesome times with the Indian
and one by one, says the Courier, his
mpaniors, firing of the loneliness and
hardships of pioneer life, deserted him
until only two were left One dlv a
friendly Indian called on them and i'm
parted the cheerful information that
the next day there would be a large
party of his red brothers there 10 scalp
them and burn their house. Their first
thought was that they would stay and
hold the fort, but upon meditation con-
cluded that their scalps would be safer
as far as possible from their present
abode. Sure enough, the next day
band of 500 Indians invaded she place,
but finding no victims contented them
selves with burning everything In sight.
Two years later Mr.. Oh; Sc returned to
claim his property, but found it occu-
led by others, and after considera e
litigation gave up any hore of retriev-
ing it and finally returned to the east
to live.

Silser Men to Arms,

WASHINGTON, July "A call for a
national convention of the American
bimetallic league was issued from the
national headquarters of the league
here today 1t says; 1.-The recent CuG
mination of events of greatest moment
to the people of this country has called
for wise counsel and determined action
on the part of all patriotic citizens A
concerted purpose is manifest to seize
upon the present opportunity to destroy
silver as money and establish finally
and at one str Ike change all debts to
gold debts with never ending rise of
gold and a fan of prices" The idea of
the silver people is to meet at Chicago
and adjourn to Washington. Here the
convention will reassemble at about the
time when congress convenes, and will
probably continue in session unit. after
the organization of that body.

sHsARINo BEGINS EARLY.
Not a Pound of Wool Has Yet Been
Sold in Great Falls.


GREAT FALLS, Mont, July about
one.fourth of the wool raised in the
state goes through the warehouses in
this city. The largest clip In the state,
that of Clark Bros. of Choteau county,
comes here. They shear 30 900 sheep
and last year received abe highest price
paid for Montana wool, fraction above
10 cents. Shearing began early this
year and wool will come in rapidly dur
ing the next ten days. About l 900, 600
pounds have now been received at the
warehouse, but not a pound has been
sold. Several buyers are here repre-
senting Boston firms, but the think are
only offering II cents for sale price,
or cents ADVANCE upon consignments.
The woolgrowers would probably sell
for from Is to - cents, but they think
that twelve cents is altogether too low
About $50 600 pounds have been shipped
on consignment with an Scent ADVANCE.
Last year the average sale price on the
3,500,000 pounds shipped from Great
Falls was about Is cents, and the ad
vance on consignments was from 3 to
10 cents. The changed condition nat
urally make the steepmen trife blue
They will probably hang out few days
longer, but the large clips will all be
here very soon, and unless the buyers
come up little the bulk of this sea
sons product will be consigned.

The Fight for Silver.

The silver situation is the overs shadow
ing topic of discussion in Spokane when
ever mining men come togethe Opin-
ion is much at variance as to the real
cause of the present crisis and the best
remedy, but all admit that something
should be done, and that speedily.
Already in the Cpur d'Alenes over
5000 people are deprived Of the means
of livelihood ard this signifies broken
men, ruined homes and starving fami-
lies. The suggestion made by the Col
orldo papers TO meet the emergency is
a good one. Call the legislatures of the
western states together and pass such
laws as will suspend the collection of
debts for a period of three years and
let the country 80 iuto liquidation. Ger
tainly the law that is considered all
right for national banks and other cor
porations should be considered good for
the people and might have the effect of
bringing the gold II en- TO their senses,
and should tn east try 10 boyC the
west then our resource would be iujunc-
tions from the United States SUPP enc
court. Silver will get unexpected help
in the east from capitalists who have
hundreds of thousands of dollars invest
ed in silver mines and other western in
terests. Altogether the nefarious blow
struck at silver will ultimate ly react for
its benefit, and in the meantime the
people must make up their minds 10
suffer and grin and bear it.

HARD TINES.
People Who Complain Never Feel the Eff
fects Of Hard Times.

Hard times, you say" and the
merchant looked r~eproachfully at his
clerk.
The idea of you talking about
hard time when you are gettinga bet
ter salary than you eve did before.
You save a big lump of it and every
month you go down TO the bank and
get an interest bearing certificate Of
deposit. Hard times did you say
Get down on your knees and thank
the good Lord.that you are doing so
| well. ~
Then he turned TO me and said
1.-THE most of the hard times is in the
talk. These boys talk 1t and they
don't feel a feather weight of the
pressure that fails on the head of the
house."
why, bless your soul,' he contln-
ued, "there's my cook talking about
hard times, whining it out whenever
she feels a little lazy or out Of sorts.
In the first place, she has a good hus-
band who supports her well, then l
pay her ten dollars a month for cook
Ing. She is SO comfortable financially
that she has not drawn her pay in
three mOnths-going to make a bank
deposit, l reckon"
Upon this he began to moralize at
length, and among other things, said:
Most Of the people who talk about
hard times have actually nothing to
complain OF. They get the same
wages and just as regularly. It's the
heads OF business that feel the strain,
but, as a rule, they are not talking
about it, and they are getting along
pretty well, all things considered.
These other fellows are doing the
damage, and there ought to be a law
to stop a man from grumbling when
he's not hurt"
