If you should ask n lady what is
most dear to her. undoubtedly the
answer would be millinery. Somehow
the ladies always take an interest in
anything that speaks of headwear,
and this week the Power Mercantile
company calls the attention of every
lady in Fergus county to the most
complete stock of Trimmed Hats ever
seen here. Read the "ad"for particu-
lars.

Austin W. War; returned from Hell
ena Friday last. He reports a pleas
ant soiourn at the capital and that
Gilt Edge affairs remain much the
same as before the visit OF the mine
owners to Lewistown. He met the
Commonwealers at Big Timber and
also at Helena and says they are a
fair looking set OF workingmen though
including a few hoboes and anarchists.
The deputy marshals which returned
to Helena after their experience at
Billings were a hard lot.
The funeral services over the re,
mains OF Bert Walker, younger son OF

Friday last w. A. Selvidge, who was
then in Great Falls, telegraphed to a
party in Gilt Edge that the Gilt Edge
mill would start in n few days. The
telegram caused much good feeling, al
though under what arrangement the
mill would start was uncertain. Mr..
Selvidge arrived in Lewistown Sunday
and stated that the plant would start

gained. The proposition as agreed to
by Messrs. Collins and Arlington was
unsatisfactory to creditors and their
sanction is consequently withheld.

shoe-Bar ranch floated down Warm
| Springs creek to the Judith, down the
latter stream into the Missouri and
then down the "Big Muddy in search
of these lost gold diggings. They spent
nearly the whole summer in n fruit
less endeavor to locate the kies
ground, though colors were found in
some OF the bars OF the Missouri. The
result OF the stampede to that locality
will be watched with considerable in
