HEALTHY GREAT FALLS.

While we arc not feeling particularly
well ourselves, it is cheerful news
to ilnpart to our readers that the
unlcrtakcrs in Great Falls have about
given up the business and are willing to
go out and work in the smcltcr. OF
course, this is said in no spirit Of cnmity
to our friends the undortakers, for in
their way they arc genial gentlemen,
but simply to show that Great Falls is
the hcalthiest city on the continent.
During the last month the deaths here
from natural causes were less than one
in one thousand, and this, too, during
the period of climatic changes that is
most trying. In the light of these fig
urcs the city makes claim to the banner
of healtfuncss. We may now and then
need a lawyer on two, doctors get up
and dust or change their professions.

LORDLOvES CHEERFUL GTvERS


1t has long been Il matter of contro-

people who object to the eXtorton of
a church fair where you get in for
% cents, and out for $25. and who say
that the rattle of charity bazaar diff
fers from no other gambling except that
nobody but the directors ever win the

that the man who wrecks railroad. or
organizes trust that ruins and beggars
thousands of his fellow-men, can square
himself with heaven by building n
church or school. That comes under
the head of tinancierng which is respect

The Atlanta exposition delegation that
left here Yesterday over the international

was in rather a delapidated condition, nu-

intended to be the head of the delegation,
but yesterday morning he received tele.-
gram announcing the serious illness of
his mother and he Immediately gave up
his Atlanta trip, leaving last night for
Jefferson, Tex, to see his mother instead.
General Mabry was also prevented from
going by the sickness of Mrs. Mabry and
DR.. Swearingen was also detained. Land
Commissioner Baker, not noting the
change of the time card sauntered leis-
urely down to the depot 20 minutes after
the train was gone, dressed in his best
Sunday clothes. He was very much dis
grsted, but there being no help for the
matter he returned home and managed
to catch last nights Houston and Texas
Central train and will join the delegation
at Atlanta, going via New Orleans. Gen
eral Mabry and DR.. Swearingen will prob
ably leave for Atlanta today, though they
are not definitely settled on the PROPOSE
tion as vet. As soon as Governor Culber-
son found that he could not go, he wired
Lieutenant Governor Jester to go in his
place. That gentleman agreed to join the
party at Longview. The party that left
Yesterday at 12:45 o'clock consisted only
of Attorney General Crane. Secretary OF
