ployes refused to 10 to work lest they
should be among the 100 of whom Mrs.
Baldwin had said their dlsmembered
hodies would litter the streets Of what
once was called Slocum's Hollow. And
now the Wilkes-Barre Record rubs this in
by saying that Mrs. Baldwin played an
April fool Joke on the people Of Scranton
and bestows upon her the title of "a
clever illusionist."
Here the episode closes temporarily.
Whether Wilkes-Barre will make OF Mrs.
Baldwin another Joan of Arc and hereaf-
ter erect a monument to the woman whose
wit has saved the city remains to be seen.

That is sound Americanism.

The esteemed Wilkes-Barre Times, of
course, is in error when it remarks that
Judge Gunsters decision that Prot
estant version of the Bible cannot be
read in the Waverly schools, in Lacka-
wanna county, comes like a shock to
many people, but the jurist explained
that the letter of the law meant Just
that and its action could not be sus-
pended by him in favor of Catholic or
Protestant. Jew or GENTLE" The pub
lished reports of Judge Gunster's ruling
contain no clause forbidding the read
ing of the Bible in the Waverly public
school. We doubt If any jury would
construe the simple reading of the Bible
to be an act Of sectarianlsm.

There is little occasion for surprise in

Oscar Wilde has practiced, in private,
some of the lax moral principles that
have made his public writings offensive

words true party loyalty" For our
part, We regard this assertion as the
most impudent and dlsgraceful one yet
made in connection with the war on
Tammany. Who is Platt that he should
thus arrogate to himself the control Of
the civic affairs of 100000 American
citizens? Is the Republican party In
New York state ready to subscribe to
the doctrine that this juggling politl-
clan. this wriggling manipulation of eau
cuses, conventions. legislatures and
deals with Tammany, whose career has
for fifteen years kept the Republicans
of New York in the shadow of defeat,
because they were there most useful
to him in his private schemes, is to be
confirmed In his ridiculous claim to the
practical czarship over municipal
affairs in our greatest city?

neciion with the ball of the colored people
at Fishers hall Sunday evening, were

Mrs. Whitaker, Mr.. Jordan and Mrs.

one and il required careful consideration
on the part of the judges to decide which

the cake. The polished ease and sinuous
grace of the tall drum major from Fort
Missoula and his fair partner were finally
decided to entitle them to the prize, so

cussed-Personal and Lo-
cal Intelligence of a Day.

GREAT FALLS, March 20.-The subject
of advertising was generally discussed at
last nights regular meeting OF the board
of trade, and it was the sense of the meet
ing that too much publicity cannot be
given to Montana Illustrated. the new
monthly magazine just issued here, since
the initial number extensively advanced
the interests of this section.
Depruten Glidden asked that 100 copies
be mailed to tho London banking house
which he represents in this country. He
also recommended that it be sent to each
of the leading hotels on the continent,
also to the Atlantic steamships, with the
request that they be displayed along with
other reading matter in the saloons of the
vessels. Copies of the book entitled "A
Souvenir of Great Falls" will be sent
TO the same places. The chair was
authorized to appoint n committee
of three to act in an advisory capacity to
consider certain matters of Importance
which il is not deemed advisable for the
papers to publish or for the general pub
lie to discuss until they have materialized
General discussion of the need of en-
couraging settlers to locate upon the
lands in this vicinity followed. 1t is I'M
derstood that u. L. Burton of Choteau will
shortly come here to reside that he may
better direct the affairs of his colonial

then came in for a general discussion and
several valuable suggestions pertaining
to the establishment of the same wero
made. The attendance at the board of
trade meetings improves each week. The
same can be said of the interest mani-
tested in the work of the organization.

GREAT FALLS, March 20.-The case of
the state VS.. Peter Pilgeram, the Deep
Creek ranchman, charged with illegally
branding a calf, which has been on trial
in the district court for two days, went TO

of guilty. 1t is understood they we're IL
to against acquittal from the time they
first entered the jury room. Pilgeram's
attorneys will carry the case to the SUI
preme court. Unusual interest was mani

the defendant being well-known in the

Grateful Women Write Us Letters.

From every corner of the country
come thankful letters written by those
who have been lifted into cheerful, Wig
orous, healthy strength by DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Thousands on thousands of women
have been relieved of the nerve-nagging
drag of weakness and pain.
They have been made better wives and
better mothers by having perfect health
restored, and without the huniliating
exposure of examinations so generally
insisted on by physicians.
The stereotyped treatment by "local
applications " is seldom necessary, and
there is no reason why modest, sensitive
women need submit to them.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
of purely vegetable composition and is
perfectly harmless in any condition of
the system. Ii exerts a wonderful sooth-
ing, healing and strengthening power
over woman's delicate organism. 1t IS
an invigoratiug tonic for the whole sys-
tenn, and is almost an infalliblc specific
for the peculiar weaknesses, Irregular
ties and painful arrangements OF woman.
To these causes may be traced the
trouble of tired, nervous, irritable, worn
out women. Careless, eaSy-golng doctors
frequently treat their women patients for
biliousness, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver
or kidney troubles, when the real sick
ness is in the organs distinctly feminine,
and no help can come till they are made
perfectly strong and healthy in both
structure and function which is brought
about in due time, by the use of Dr.
Pierces Favorite Prescription.
Prescribed for so years by DR.. Pierce.

THE QUESTION AT ISSUE.
The Depot Removal Likely to Figure In
the City Campaign.

Tie Depot Removal Likely to Figure In
tho city Campaign.
MIssoULA, March 20.-The report is cur
rently circulated that the principal issue
upon which the city election will be made
this spring is the removal of the Northern
Pacific depot TO the Higgins avenue cross
ing. Ii is stated that n combination has
been formed to bring about this change
in location of tho depot and headquarters
building, and that it will be one of the ar
guments used in favor of the candidate
which this combination will nominate.
Whether the railway company will erect
the new depot or bear the expense of
moving the present structure is not
known, but considering the rigid econ
omy that is now being practiced in tho
operation of the road at present, il does
not seem likely that tho management
would consent to this apparently unnec-
essary expenditure. This gives color TO
the rumor that the people who are advo-
eating the removal of the depot will pay
for a new building If the road will agree
TO the change.
All of this is nero rumor and there may
be no foundation for il. The proposition
to remove the depot has been sprung pc
riodically for several years and has al
ways resulted in talk alone. But each
time it has alarmed the property owners
and business men in the vicinity of the
present depot, and this time they are TAX
ing the matter seriously. They will OPP
pose such n proposition. as II will injure
their business and depreciate the value of
their property. If it is made an issue in
the election this spring. there will be one
of the hottest local fights ever waged in
this CITY
