GREAT FALLS, March 26.-Lottie Wright
or Lottie Harmon, an employe of the Park
theater, died this afternoon under cir.
cumstances which on their face appear a
tritle suspicious. She died of erysipelas,
but there are rumors connected with the
manner in which she contracted the dread
disease and other circumstances which re-
flect seriously upon her husband, Joe Ri

fair has assumed such proportions that

quently quarrelled since their marriage
several weeks ago and that on moro than
one occasion he beat her in a
shameful manner. 1t is said that
about week ago, while in the heat of
passion, he struck her upon the
head and some say he even cut her with a
razor. At any rate erysipelas set in, ter
minating in her death at 3 o'clock this
afternoon. The coroner from a cursory
examination of the body thinks that the
appearance of a wound on the back of
the head would Indicate that the skull had
been fractured. However, an autopsy
is being held this evening which will
probably show whether Joe Riley is
amenable to the law for his wife's death.

IDAHO CITY, Idaho. March 23.-Last

This is the best thing that could have

we have few warm days. The depth on
the mountains is considerable, and a I
least two feet must have fallen during
the past "A hours.
A large force of miners will soon be
added TO the force already at work in the
Boulder mine. The owners of placer
mines at Deadwood have gone out there
to get ready to start up their claims as
soon as the water starts. Placer miners
throughout the basin have their bitches

FOSTERS MISSION.
Very High Honor Conferred on tho For
mcr Secretary of State.

Washington, d. G.. Jan. 5.-No priv
ate citizen was ever intrustcd with n
more delicate and important mission
than that which takes cxSecrctary
John w. Foster to Asia. as the future
not only of China and Japan but of all
European interests in Asia will depend
largely upon the terms OF peace he can
secure. Not only must they be accept
able to both those nations, but to Eng
land, Russia and France, which have n
direct and permanent interest In the re-
suits OF the negotiations. And II Is an
honor which has never before been con-
ferred by one nation upon Il citizen OF
another. Mr.. Foster was selected be-
cause of his experience, skill and tact
in diplomatic negotiations, his knowl-
edge Of Japanese and Chinese politics
and conditions and his familiarity with
prcccdcnts usage and international
law, all of which are known and rccog-
uized in the courts Of both Europe and
Asia.
1t may be said that no public man in
America is personally 80 well posted as
Mr. Foster among diplOmatists OF Eu-
rope, and he is considered by them as
one of the most eminent and successful
members Of that profession In the
whole world. His long service in Mex
leo, Spain and Russia as n plcnipOten-
tai.y, and his missions as special en-
voy from time to time, as well us his
extensive travel in n private capacity,
have given him knowledge OF the af-
fairs and a personal acquaintance with
the statesmen. politicians and diploma
fists Of foreign nations that no other
citizen of this country enjoys. He has
been in the diplomatic service OF the
United States longer than any other
man, except, perhaps, John Quincy
Adams, and Is the only man in this
country, now living, except Bancroft
Davis. who has made diplomacy n pro-
fessiOn.
This Is not the first time he has been
employed by n foreign government in
matters Of this kind. He has been the
legal adviser of the Mexican, Russian,
Spanish and Chinese legations in
Washington for years, and while he
was secretary of state the Brazilian
government offered him fee more
than four times his annual salary to
take charge OF Its case In the arbitra-
tion OF the boundary dispute between
that nation and the Argentine Repub-
lic-the work OF only few months.
Secretary Gresham offered his services
In the settlement OF the war between
China and Japan, but they were declIn-
ed by the latter government.
Before he could accept the mission he
has undertaken at the request OF the
emperor Of China, Mr.. Fosters selec-
