Great Falls, where he established q large
general mercantile house. Mr.. Conrad
did a good business here and
had one of the largest dry
goods stores in this section Of the state.
He got deeply in debt, however, and his
failure a couple Of years ago was one Of
the first indications Of hard times which
came on Great Falls. His failure was a
bad one and did something to shake the
credit of business houses in this city.

NO COMPROMISE.

Since the opening of the session Of
congress and the publication Of the
presidents message the country has
been deluged with all manner Of theories
from all n of theorists in regard to
financial legislation. In the main all
the plans submitted are from the ene-
mics of free coinage. They seem to
realize that the cause is assuming such
proportions as to make it formidable,
and their cole effort is how to break it's
force. To this end their suggestions and
plans have a common object. the devel.
opment Of a scheme that will in some
manner give a quasi recognition to silver
without restoring it to its place as
money, Some Of the devices are clever,
others are amusing and all are lacking
in the great essential-honesty. They
are cheap m%akeshifts, intended at once
to deceive and to coerce the silver men
into accepting compromise by
which, for the sake of temporary gain.
they will surrender a principle and delay
justice for years to come. But the silver
men are not to be fooled. Their cause
is the paramount issue in the land and
on it the battle will be fought until it is
won. No half way measures will be sat
isfactory, nor can they be accomplished
with the aid Of the votes of silver men.
The way to resume is to resume"
wrote Horace Greedy when all the finan-
cial theorists in the land were proving in
speeches or paper that resumption would
ruin the land. The sage of Chatauqua
was right. The decree went forth that
the United States had resumed specie
payment and there was not even a bub-
BILE on the financial sea. So it is in the
present contest. When the edict goes
forth that the United States has restored
silver as the equal of gold, sophistries
and theories will disappear, the verdict
will be approved, and on this firm and
honest basis the country will vindicate
its right and power to establish and
maintain its own financial policy. The
efforts of the opposition to defer the date
by compromises is but an evidence that
the demands of the people for relief, that
can only come with free coinage, must be
Leeded.

FAIR Of THE FOUR SEASONS
The Ladies Of the First Liberal Church
Give q Most Artistic and Novel
Fair.
A Good Patronage Rewards Their
Efforts and the Treasury Re-
plenished.

The ladies Of the First Liberal church
gave a unique church fair Friday at
the Elks' hall. There were four booths,
representing the four seasons OF the
year-spring, summer, autumn and win
ter--and each was decorated in a man.
ner which reflected great credit on the
ladies who designed them. In the spring
booth a big Japanese paper umbrella
served as a dome and the decorations OF
the booth were all appropriate and
served to carry out the idea expressed by
the season. The articles for sale were
chiefly flowers. Mesdames Mcfarland,
Shannon, Boal, Pierce and Pratt we're in
charge of the booth.
The Summer booth was presided over
by Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Reid, Mrs. Theo
Gibson, Mrs. H. o. Chowen, Mrs.
Arthur, Miss Phillips, and Miss Edger-
ton. Lemonade and iced drinks we're
served at this booth, and a very attract
i've display Of fancy work was offered for
sale. Some Of the embroideries which
decorated tho walls we're OF exquisite
workmanship.
The Autumn booth bore the motto.
Crimson Glory" and was decked in
scarlet. A tempting display Of fruit,
homemade preserves, and canned goods
were offered for sale. The decoration was
effective, consisting of grains and fruits
arranged with great artistic skill. The
booth was presided over by the following
ladies: Mesdames Phillips, Sweat, Race,
Desilets, Crane and Frizzell. The Winter
booth was decorated with white and bore
a motto, reading "Frosty but Kindly"
A Christmas tree, dressed with gifts,
stood in the corner and Mesdames
Burghardt, Hawkins, Robinson and
Chowen presided at the booth.
Twelve little girls, dressed to represent
the months of the year, attracted much
attention and added much to the pic
turesque effect Of the fair. The art
display in the way of etchinge. water
colors, sketches, etc, was a most attract
i've feature of the fair comprising as it
did some very choice pictures. A mum
Der were sold. The ladies received a
good patronage during the day and
evening and expressed themselves as
satisfied with the results. Altogether
the fair was a success, and those in
charge deserve much credit for the beau
tiful and artistic effect of the arrange

School Matters,

Our esteemed friends, the News and
the Leader, appear to be very much
exercised over an article which appeared
in The TRIBUNE upon school matters in
connection with the proposed issue of
bonds. There is no need for this. The
article in question, while it may have
been suggestive, was certainly inoffensive.
1t is true it did make one accusation to
the effect that there had been changes
in the plans and a bill Of extras begun.
This is admitted, for the News says that
the only change was sinking the founda-
ton to bedrock, a precaution that had
plans, but which was absolutely neces-
sary to the safety OF the building. In
the light Of the admission 1t does not
come with good grace from the News to
assail THE TRIBUNE for it's criticism. If
the plans are so faulty that a change has
to be made and extras allowed in the
matter of e~xcavating for and building the
foundation, who will say what will occur
when work on the superstructure is
under way. These remarks are not
offered as a criticism, but in the line of
self defense, for if The TRIBUNE we're
disposed to be critical it might, without
the aid of a lantern, find opportunity for
criticism. So far as the destroyed
bonds are concerned it knows their
history as we'll as does either
the News or the Leader and it
probably knows more about them than
some people are willing to give it credit
for knowing. The old bonds, however, are
not in question. Their existence has
ended. They are a back number. What
nov concerns the people is the erection
Of the high school building and whether
a new issue of bonds shall be voted to
insure it's speedy completion. THE
TRIBUNE is of the opinion that the
people of Great Falls desire that the
work shall 60 on, and in that desire it
is in accord with the people. 1t is also
of the opinion that the people expect and
demand that the building, when erected,
ehall be suitable for the purposes for
which it is intended, an ornament to the
city and absolutely what they will be
called to pay for it. No more and nc
less. They desire that it shall be con-
structed in accordance with the plan
to the letter, and the cost kept
within the contract price. There il
now time 10 go over the plans ano
specifications, and il they are found tt
be faulty in any respect let the needed
alterations be made and let a supple
mental contract be entered into so thai
when work is resumed it will be know
just what the cost is to be. This is fail
alike to the public, the board and th'
contractor. Extras are a dangerous con
tingency in the construction Of 80 ex
pensive q building. II the architect ant
the board are prepared to say that tn
plane are complete and that the build
ing will be finished at the price agree'

time let the News and the Leader posses
their souls in patience. THE TRIBUNE /

fearless young rover of the woods, and
gun in hand he was often to be seen
in the forest, either in search of game
or setting traps for the smaller ami
mails that abounded in the locality.
During one of these excursions into
the woods the boy had the fortune to
capture a very small bear cub, which
he carried home without trouble. He
raised the cub by hand, and had a
good deal of fun with him as he grew
older. At last he became the pet of
the household, and often would follow
Ted into the forest.
At the approach of night, no matter
where Jack was, he would turn his
face toward the cabin, and in one
corner of it was sure to find a sleep
ing place till morning.
With the uprising of the Indians,
led by Pontiac, the Ottawa chief, one
of the bravest and most relentless
Indians of his day, the whole frontier
passed from the sunshine of peace to
the shadow of war. The Bradys heard
of the coming storm some time before
it reached them.
1t was reported that the Indian
spies were abroad in the land, spying
out the weaknesses of the settlements
preparatory to a swoop upon them,
and one day several were seen in the
vicinity of the Brady cabin. Ted had
been trapping along a little stream
near home for some time. The boy,
who was stout and quick for his 16
years, though not very large, had be-
come expert in trapping the fur
bearing animals of the forest and
stream, and his stock of furs were
known to be the best and most valu-
IL r. - IL L
Michael Brady, the father, thought
that the whole frontier should be
made acquainted with the true situa-
ton regarding the Indian uprising,
and as he had picked up good deal
of reliable information he deemed it
his duty to spread the news. There
fore he set out on his mission one day,
intending to be gone nearly a week.
Watch the house WE'LL" said the
Celt- "Know everything that APP
prOaches it, and on no occasion open
the door to anybody but Jack"
One evening the boy went out to
his traps. He had that morning car
ried them to a new trapping ground
and he thought best to take another
look before leaving them for the
night.
The night promised to have the
light OF the full moon The sky was
perfectly clear and the crisp leaves
that Uttered the ground gave forth
musical sounds as they cracked I'M
derneath the boys feet.
That very day Ted had taken the
rife apart to give a thorough over
hauling, and every part Had been in
spected and oiled. With the weapon
slung over his shoulder the Irish boy
tramped through the woods, found
the traps all right. and, after seeing
that the triggers were well set, turned
and began his homeward trip.
BY this time the sun had gone
down and the long shadows of dusk
were falling between the trees. But
over the hill on his right rose the full
orbed moon, and more than once Ted
stopped and watched its stately
ascent.
He had reached little stream near
the cabin and had set his feet

crossing it, when he caught sight of
