While in n drunken frenzy Tuesday
evening II. J. Johns insulted Commits
sloner Wareham by applying vile cpl
thets and abuse. Mr.. Wareham
quickly resented the attack and seri-
Gus results would have followed but

G.. X. Norris came up from Judith
Landing Tuesday accompanied by his
family and returned today. Mr.. Norris
says the old ferry cable broke on May

was ordered from Chicago by express.
1t is now adjusted and is n of the
best cables on the river. The ferry is

The japanese entertainment given
10y the Christian Endeavor society
Tuesday evening proved very enjoy
able. Tableaux, vocal and instru-
mental music from the Mikado consti-
tuted the program, prefaced by a
sketch OF a trip to Japan read by
Miss Edwards. Three Little Maids
from SCHOOL, by Misses Eddy, Stiles
and Mackey was the best number,
though little surprising in excellence
The Flowers That Bloom in the
Spring Tra-la" by Miss Lehman and
each succeeding number was worthy
of the hearty applause which it re-
ceived. After the program WAS con
cluded tea, chocolate, ice cream and
cake were served, the drinks in genu-
inc Japanese cups and saucers which
were sold with the refreshments. The
I.ewistown and Benton bands added
much to the entertainment as both
attended, rendering several selections
both in the street and in the church.
The ladies in charge could well have
thanked the band as their attend
ance brought many Others. Alto
gether the affair was successful, So
cially and financially.
Bernard McDonnell's stay at Miles
City was short as on Saturday he re-
turned to Lewistown. Mr.. McDon-
nell says that the position OF super
visor OF the farm is no job for him.
1t seems that he had placed in his
charge thirteen boys, IN OF whom is
% years old and outweighs Mr.. Me
Donnell three pounds. The boys Tor
mem are very unruly and Mr.. Me
Donnell was allowed no whip or could
not even box their ears for impudence
but whenever they disobeyed rules he
had to march the whole crew back to
the school and report the case to the
director. As this occurred almost
every hour a man must be a good
walker to hold his job. While there
Mr.. Mcdonnell tasted no fresh meat,
milk or butter, although this may
have been attributed to accident. He
says it is a slaves life and that he
worked but three days. The position
pays but $50 per month and board.
There Is no reason to doubt these
statements and from them it would
look as though the management
needed reforming a. much n the hoys,
and, moreover, what business has "a
hoy % years old in a reform school?
In Shafer's brass band the citizens
OF Lewistown no doubt realize that
they have an organization that would
reflect credit upon any city in the
state. The band has reached its eff
cheney by hard work and concerted
action during the past winter months
and, we must say, with but very little
encouragement from our people. 1t
should be said to the credit of its
members that they are not afraid to
'play," having in fact pursued a more
generouscourse toward the public than
they were entitled to. The boys
now propose to give two open aircon.
~certs a week provided a grand stand
is built for them. MIR. Culver is also
training his kid band" and will also
give one or two concerts weekly gratis
