GREAT FALLS, March s.-The county
commissioners of Choteau county have
awarded the contract for caring for the
county poor for the ensuing year to NJ. A.
Flanagan at $353.75. Tho contract for
medical attendance went to DIR. c. ID.
Crutcher at 1898, with 50 so for each au-
topsy ordered by the commissioners. The
latter figure, it appears, was just S81 less
than the doctor intended to put in, owing
TO slip of the pen when writing the
amount. He intended to make his bid
read SJo.50 instead of the amount quoted.
However, he said he would have to stand
by the language of the bid.

The Shakespearean quotation about the
whrligig of time eventually squaring mat
tiers was admirably illustrated few days
ago. About two weeks or so ago a certain
gentleman of color, who performs odd
jobs around town, got to celebrating a lit
tie too noisily, and in the course of time
landed in the city Jail. The next morning

trate and fined the statutory five and
costs, or in all $50. He paid the same
and went away vowing he would get even
with the judge. His day of reckoning
came sooner than he expected, for in
about a weeks time the judge hired him to
do some work. 1t wasn't such big job
nor one that required a great amount of
skill, but when the job was finished the
judge was nonplussed on learning that
the price was exactly ''seven dollars and
fifty cents, sah.'
"Why, that's robbery" said his honor.

You know you didn't let up on me berry
much on that fine. rs got ter get chen

too strong. The amount was paid forth

The Carpenters union met in regular
session Wednesday night in the Trades
! Council hall. There was large attend
ance and considerable important business
was transacted. The question of the eight
hour working day, submitted by the
general officers of the u. b. of c. of Amer
lea, came up for consideration. After a
general discussion, a vote showed the
union to be unanimous in it's support. A
letter was read from the International
Typographical union asking the carpen-
tiers TO cease patroniZing two eastern
printing concerns. The same was spread
on the minutes, and the union voted una

The good people living in and around |
Kibbey, this county, do not propose to be
outdone in the matter of chivalry. when
it comes to expressing their sentiments
on the question of women suffrage. They
have been decidedly outspoken in favor
of allowing women the privilege of voting
upon all questions affecting the welfare
OF the nation, county or state. Hon. Wi
liam c. Lee of Kibbey, who besides look
ing after a large ranch, finds time to at
tend to the duties of the village postoffice
as we'll as dispense justice with an i'm
partial hand, is authority for the state
ment that upon the receipt of news from
Helena that the legislature had refused TO
grant women the right of suffrage an in
meeting was held in the little
hamlet situated upon the slope of the
Belt mountains. According to him the
ranchmen from adjoining points were
present with their wives and children to
enter an emphatic protest against the I'M
chivalrous treatment accorded the fair
sex. The resolutions passed were not
wanting in length or sarcasm. 1t was re-
solved that none of the Cascade delega-
tion who had the temerity to vote against
the proposition need expect to be received
with open arms whenever they go 10 Kib-
hey. The proverbial hospitality OF klb-
hey will never be accorded one of them
again. The latch string which always
hangs on the outer door of every home in
the place will be drawn in upon the APP
pearance of the unpopular lawmakers of
Cascade county.

time made frequent purchases in this Sec

birthday. He was prom

season of 1886 when the city at the head

shipping points in Montana. 1t was
