A WOMAN IN BLACK
The Mysterious Lady Who Takes Great
Interest in the 0'Brien Trial.
END OF THE CASE IN SIGHT
Il VIII Probably 90 to the Jury
This Afternoon-Eioque and
Logical Addresses Of
the Lawyers.

Great Falls. Nov. 1.-The testimony
in the O'Brien murder case was con-
cluded at IL o'clock to-day. On her
redirect examination this morning
Mrs. O'Brien was cool and collected.
She answered questions promptly and
earnestly and materially strengthened
the defense. This afternoon Attorney
Brady. for the defense. addressed the
jury for two hours. No attempt was
made at oratory but the address was
attention of the jury.
Mr.. Brady was followed by Attorney
Downing for the defense and that gen.
tleman handling the evidence carefully
and guardedly made a strong appeal
for O'Brien and had not concluded
when the court adjourned until to-
morrow morning at $3.50 o'clock. When
Mr.. Downing is through ne will be fol-
lowed by Attorney Leslie, also for the
defense, and 1t is expected that the
eloquent advocate will make the adj
dress of his life in behalf of his client.
County Attorney Freeman will close
the argument for the state and as he
Is well known as a fluent speaker the
court room will be crowded with spec
tators., The case with probably go to
the jury tomorrow afternoon.
A mysterious woman in black, who
has apparently taken great interest In
the case and has visited the Jail sew
eral times to talk with O'Brien, was
present to-day and occupied seat in
the space allotted to the members of
the bar. 1t Is said this woman is Blk
by's sister. but this is not generally be-
lieved. as she conversed freely to-day
with Mrs. O'Brien. She may be a
crank. with a morbid desire to hear
details of bloody tragedy, or one who
is deeply interested for some reason in
the result Of the trial. Sheriff Dwyer
evidently knows who she Is, but as he
has told different stories as to whom
she is. he Is not considered reliable au-
thority on this particular question. Oh,

Mr., ALBERS RATIFIED
Afraid of the Result of a Trial for
Stealing Cattle.
1T PREYED UPON HIS MIND

Resulted Finally In His
Suicide.

Great Fails, Nov. III. w. Albers.
who committed suicide last night by
cutting his throat, resided at 502 Third
street south. 1t appears, from the evil
derce given at the inquest held to-day,
that he retired about 7:30. but later
arose and went Ito the dining room,
stating that he was unable to sleep.
Several hours afterward, Mrs. Albers,
who had retired, was awakened by a
heavy fail in the dining room. She In
stantly called John Balmot, who occu-
pied a room upstairs, and the two pro-
ceeded TO the dining room, where Al
bers was found with his head almost
severed from his body.
A1bers had not been in his right mind
for "a week or more. Several weeks ago
he and three other men OF this city
were arrsted for killing range cattf
ard selling the same. Albers kept a
shop here and retailed a great deal
of meat. Sheriff Dwyer became suspi-
cious, watched them slaughter the cat
tie and deliver the same, and then ar
rested the four men. They were ex-
amind before Judge Race and bound
over to the present term of district
court. Albers feared the result of the
trial and became ratified" on the sub
tect. However. he was not supposed 10
be dangerous, and no CLOSE guard was
placed over him. As result he died
by his own hand, and a coroners jury
returned a verdict accordingly.
Albers leaves a wife. but no children.
He was formerly "a resident of Jeffer-
son county, and for two years was eG-
ployed at the Anaconda smeNers. He
had Travelled extensively, and frequent
ly told interesting stories OF incidents
in Europe and Central America. Unul
this recent arrest he was popular with
the people of this city. and even after
his arrest had friends enough to
promptly raise the heavy bail required
to keep him from going to Jail. He
will be buried tomorrow.
Mrs. Albers, who enjoys the respect
and esteem of a wide circle of friends,
has the deepest sympathy of all in her
troubles

CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
The Consignments From Northern Mon
tsna Have Been Large.

Great Falls, Nov. 1.-The cattle ship
ment from Northern Montana this
year have been simply enormous-far
in excess of those of last year, which
were as follows: Fort Benton, $40
cars; Great Falls, 100 cars; Cascade, II
cars; Craig, 80 cars; Arlington, 40
cars; Big Sandy, 307 cars; total, S73
cars. Counting 20 CATTLE to a car this
made q total Of 1926 head of cattle
shipped last year. At the prices OF last
years market well informed cattle
men estimated that the stock
shipped, including steers, cows and
heifers in one general average, brought
about sS5 per head, so that the amount
of money realized from cattle shipped
over the Montana Central from North
ern Montana during the season of 1894
was not very far from $672, 210.
The shipping record this year is far
more satisfactory ITO the railroad COM
pany as well as stockmen, than that of
last year. UP to Tuesday last there
had been shipped over the Montana
Central line 937 cars of cattle, while or
ders were on file in this city for 1863
additional cars. This makes a total of
LOO cars, and 1T is probable that a few
orders for cars will yet come in. TAX
ing, however, the figures up to date as
final 1t will be seen that the shipments
of THE present season will exceed those
OF last year by 227 cars, or nearly 5000
head. Using the same figures as be-
fore in estimating the number of cattle
shipped, % head to a car. 1t will be seen
that about "a, 200 head of cattle were
shipped out of the country tributary to
the Montana Central this year. Cattle
men state that 040 per head is a safe
and conservative estimate to place on
the cattle shipped as a general aver
age. This would make the value of
this years cattle shipments $96S, 900

glass. The condition of all the body is
written in the face.
Thousands of women are dragging out
a weary, miserable existence, because
they do not fully realize what is the
matter with them. They know that they
have +" female weakness but they do
not really appreciate what that means.
They do not know that to this one
trouble is traceable almost all of their
bodily ills. They consider it a disease
by itself, and if they have also neuralgia,
nervous headaches, biliousness, kidney
troubles and other things, they see no
connection between them and the de-
engagements of strictly feminine nature.
Busy and overworked physicians often
treat these things as separate ailments,
when the whole trouble has the one
source. The reproductive organs are so
important part of the body that when
they are out of order, the whole system
is deranged. Whatever illness a wo-
man has, she will do well to look there
for the cause.

lect themselves, because they dread the
