city and country the best passenger
train service they have ever enjoyed.
The through trains will pass through
the city at an early hour in the morn
ing, and the Great Falls and Butte To-
cal train will enable passengers to
make the journey between the cities
and intermediate points without travel
ing all night or being pulled out of bed
ait an unseemly hour in order to go in
any direction. AS a result of the
change there is a feeling of general sat
isfaction, and the travelling public
evince an earnest disposition to rise
up those who are responsible for the
new order of things.
1t is said Conductor Jack Hall and
z. jeremiah Flanagan will be as
signed to duty on the new trains. Both
gentlemen are we'll and popularity
known in Great Falls, where each of
them has valuable property interests.
Mr.. Hall will probably move his family
to the city and erect a comfortable
home on one of his vacant lots on the
north side. OF late Conductor Flanna-
gan has worn a Prince Albert coat,
and now, when on duty, resembles
French field marshal in point of ele-
gance and brilliancy of uniform. Sheriff
Dwyer says Jerry is a fine looking fell
low and If he would only wear a false
face would be considered really hand
some and attractive man.
The new train service will enable
patrons of the Standard at Craig, Cas-
cade, Belt and Great Falls to secure
their favorite newspaper on the after
noon of the day of publication. The
change will be appreciated by hundreds
of subscribers in Northern Montana.

day. There are only four aldermen to
elect, but the personnel of the next
city council means a great deal more
than is apparent on the SUI face at pres
ent. The republicans are likely to be
in the minority when the council is
Teorganized.
w. f. Burgy, who owns the stage
line between Great Falls and Lewis
town, will put on two large Concord
coaches this summer reduce the time
schedule between the two points and
make first-class stage line of what is
now a "jerky route" The improvement
will be appreciated.
The Cree Indians camped near Havre
are a constant source of annoyance to
the authorities of Choteau county.
Through Illicit agents the bucks" are
furnished with means to purchase
liquor and as a result quarrels and
drunken brawls are of frequent occur

Indians became involved in a quarrel |

treatment 1t is currently reported that
another brave was shot yesterday dur
