presented their demands for an increase of

offcihls were not ready to grant the mem q
demands nmediatsIy and another meeting
WAS arranged for later ia tho day. ha
late az four o'clock President lhomHs
declared there would DO no strike, and
gwitchmen said the same. Two hours later,
! without warning and with no further de-
velopmcnta in tho negotiations the men
quit work and business was at n standstll.
Nothing was known OF the atrike until a
suburban train was halted at Sixteenth
street by an open switch. The signal was
given the engineer. ''coms ahead,' but a.
he could plainly sec switch open ahead OF

ATLANTA. Ga, Feb. 22.-The disappear
auce and defalcaiion of Assistant Cashier
Redwine, of the Gate City National bank,
of this city, is the biggest financial sensa-
tion Atlanta has known for years. This
morning thorough examination of the
banks affairs was made by officers of the
clearing house association. and they re-
20 ted the defalcation to be about $50, 600,
certainly not more thnn that. Clearing
house officers declare that the bank can pay
deposltorS every cent and can pay stock
holders in full. The greatest myste Y
about the affair is Redwine's diaappeRrnnce.
Up to this time absolutely no trace has
been found of his whereabouts. 1t Ii be-
heved he has gone west. kedwine has evi-
IDENTIFY been living beyond his means for
years. The bank officials believe Redwine
has been behind for several yeas, but in
small amounts. His position enabled him
to cover up his shortages and they were
never discovered.

GhEAT FAIIs. Feb 22.-Handbills were
circulated around town to-day calling for .
mass mseting of the local democracy to be
held at tho court room to- night. The bills
stated that the object OF the meeting was to
discuss the present legislative deadlock. Al
the appointed hour this evening tho court
room was packed. and it was evident from
the start that the democrats Of Great Falls
were anxious to place themselves on record
as uneauivocally in favsr OF the caucus
nominee for United Ssatss senator. Judge
Huy was elected chairman and W. N,
Fletcher secretary. James Donovan was
the first speaker. He favored com promise
on senator, but received little encourage.
msnt from the audience. w. G. Downing
spoke next, fayoring w. A. Clark. r. s.
Ford said that with him it WAS Clark or
nobody. He spoke at some length and
handled the dem ocratio nlnoritv without
gloves. He said even the decent clemens
of the republican party favored Clark. The
action of a few democrats in blocking the
will of tho people of Montana was dis
grace.
Speeches were made by John Stanton ana
others favorinR Clark. Great enthusiasm
prevailed when w. G. DowinR presented
resolutions calling upon senator Gibson TO
vote for Clark. +. B. Gallagher said tho
resolutions were ont of place. since Gibson
had signed the manifesto to vote for any
other democrat but CLARK. j. A. Mac
knight said neither Dixon nor Clark could
be elected and he failed to soc how tho res
olutions would accomplish anything.
Otherwise the sentiment of the meeting
was unanimous in their favor, and they
were carried with only three dissenting
votes.
Resolved, That the democracy of Cas-
cade county, in mass meeting assem- bled,
instruct their senator, Hon. Paris Gibson,
to abide by the will Of the majority OF the
democratic meaabers of tho Legislature and
| vote for and use all honorable means to
secure the election to the United States
senate Of the man whose interests are iden-
tical with those of Montana. Hon. w. A.
Clark.
Resolved. That we endorse the action OF
the democratic majority in their support Of

rel ort on the bill establishing addi-

grafton TO the United States, by increasing
by three the number of excluded classes of

made subject to special inquiry md proof
must be procured that they will not be
come public charge. The the third is
that class of persons belonging to societies
who favor or justify the unlawful dest uc-
tion of property OF life. Under the present

United States. but the measure rroposed is
a remedy for this condition Of affairs.

The Cows Cud.

There is no such thing as a cows cud :.
the sense in which this term Is often use
as a part of the animal that may be lost.
The cud is that of the food which is
brought up from tho first stomach and
shewed over again, after which it is again
swallowed and COOS directly into the
third stomach, where it IS macerated in
the manIples and thei passes to the fourth
stomach and finally digested. When a
COW is suffering from indigestion she may
be unable, by reason of the disorder of the
stomach, 10 bring up the food or cud, and
this makes her sick, and il 1t is continued,
she stops eating. The best thing to do in
such a case is to give pint of raw linseed
oil, and repeat it if necessary, when the
trouble is generally removed. The cud is
formed 10y the compression of portion of
the food in small chanel between the
first and second stOmachs and connected
with the gullet. 1t is about five inches
in length and two IN width.-NcC York

"Theres a vast difference in Northern
and Southern girls" writes a Northern
giIl IN the Chicago Record. Southern
girls arc much mora attractive to men
Every once in a while some Louisville OF
Virginia girl comes up here aud fairly
walks off with every elbe man she meets.
She is usually prettier but rarely as sly lish
as her Northern sister. The former cares
more for prettiness than style, though,
aud wears more dainty little cnlls and
bows than a Northern girl would do in
lifetime. 1t isn't exactly good form, we
think, but she doesn't Lnow that, and if
she did, she wouldn' care, for the boys
like it, and then her voice is 50 soft and
the Southern pronunciation is simply de-
licious. Her manners are charming,
never cOldly conventional or different
as ours often are. And she does make
such fuss over the meu. She exerts
herself so to please them, and lays her
self out to be charming to every man
who comes along, be be old or young,
rich or poor, married or unmarried"
