For getting oh a THIRD.

daily fill st. Johns Church, but to
the white visitors, who are cordially
welcomed by thosecolored christians.
At the morning session n mission
AIRY collection was take up and the
liberal manner in which some of
these people contributed would have
put to shame many OF our more
wealthy white christians. There
was one instance wherein an old
eolored woman nearly S0years Of age
contributed $50 to this cause from
her hard earned wages. A Mrs.
Swan, of Helena, contributed $50 to
the missionary fund, and Mrs. j. w.

nent colored people of note in at

But His Collar Bone Broken and Buggy
Smashed.

Mr.. C. G. Brockway, the we'll
known saloon man, considers him
self fortunate, although he has a
broken collar bone and is otherwise
badly bruised.
Yesterday he had occasion to visit
his farm, several miles in the country.
He returned TO the city in light
cart. and, as be was driving down
Georgia street, near Colburn $ gin, u
freight train ON the Valley road,
which was switching cars into a sid
ing, came at great speed across the
street just as Mr.. Brockway APP
preached the crossing. lie saw the
train Just as it was about to strike
his vehicle, and attempted to jump,
but before he could get out OF the
cart a freight car struck il and
knocked him into the air. He landed
on his shoulder, and as a result he
has a broken collar bone and numer-
Gus other bruises. The vehicle is a
total wreck, but the mule hitched to
the cart escaped injury.
Mr.. Brockway says that he con-
siders himself very fortunate in get
ting off with such slight injuries, and
that his position when the cars
struck his vehicle was The most peril
ems that he was ever in.

In the center of the room
is the exhibit of Mrs. NJ

exhibit was simply exquisite, and a
greater variety or more beautiful
chrysanthemums are seldom seen.
In all parts of the building were
flowers in smaller quantities, con.
tributed by individuals. In the real
of the floral exhibit is room divided
off by lace curtains, in which refresh
