Probably Was Drowned.

Word has reached Great Falls of the
mysterious disappearance and probable
drowning of Mr.. Ward, formerly EN-
plOyed in the Great Northern shops
there.
On July 4th Mr.. Ward started with a
horse and cart for upper Sun river to
brand some colts. Since that time
nothing has been heard of him and the
body of the horse attached to the cart
has been found near the spot where Mr.
Ward was to cross. A close watch is
being kept on the Missouri and Sun
rivers. Neighboring ranchers have used
giant powder in hopes of raising the
body, but without success.

THE MARTYR.

Weep for the dead, the martyr'd dead
O, weep my country. None is left
Like him of whom thou art bcreft,
To keep thy traitor foes in dread.
Struck down by felon fiend ere life
Had passed its noon; his country's pride
Who in her cause has nobly died,
Tho not in battles deadly strife.
Who, that has heard his gifted tongue,
His matchless eloquence, that stirred
The depth of soul-who once that heard,
But on his words with rapture hung!
Who that has read his verse, or prose
But read them DER and DER again;
And fondly hoped his glowing pen
Would not be left in long repose.
His noble mind with learning fraught,
Dispensed her lore on every side;
He loved to teach, advise and guide
In crowded hall or humble cot.
o, weep. His grave with tears bedew
ave ne'er shall see his like again
In him we've lost, thus early slain,
The poet, statesman, patriot true.

GLADSTONE AND THE LORDS.

The most audacious, plucky and sur
prising speech ever delivered in the
House of Commons was the one deliv-
cred by Mr.. Gladstone. The speech
was declaration of war against the
House of Lords, and the remarks of
the Premier We've decidedly revolu-
tionary as regards them. He says the
Crown should and must appeal from
the Lords to the people, and he wants
the House of Lords to be so tied I'D
in the near future that it cannot veto
any measure passed by the House of
Commons. Gladstone is right, but
how he can give success to that right
is difficult to understand. The speech
made by the Grand Old Man" will
have a wider reading than any speech
he ever delivered. To abolish the
House of Lords is the first step in the
great drama which will convert Great
Britain into republic of five States,
England, India, Scotland, Canada and
Australia. The end is not yet What
must be will be. The initial step has
been taken by Gladstone, and the
future will decide whether the great
est man England ever saw Is right or
not.
