Great Falls, April 22.-If the members
OF the Butte council paving committee
desire to inspect the handsomest paved
street in Montana, they will step right
past Helena, continue their journey to
Great Fails, and view Central avenue.
The paving is far superior to that in
Helena and the appearance of the
avenue Is all that the most enthusiast
tic of the Electric City could desire.
The thorughfare is 80 feet wide and for
seven blocks is as smooth and clean as
a marble slab.
Next Tuesday the republicans of Cas-
cade county will hold their primaries
to elect delegates to the county conven-
ton, which meets in Great Falls Sat
urday, May 2, to select delegates to the

est is evinced in the result of the pri-

A hot wave of social disturbances is
sweeping over the electric city, engulf-
ing old and young. rich and poor. in its
rosy meshes If the epidemic continues
to spread it may be necessary to fol-
low the precautionary methods adopt
ed by one of the early kings of France
when he went on a prolonged crusade
to the holy lands.
w. F. Conner, manager for James
O'Neill. now starring in the west, is an
old-time newspaper man. During a
visit at the Great Falls Office CT the
Standard last evening he said that
O'Neill was largely interested in cattle
in this state and was a prominent
stakeholder in the Miner Live Stock
company, which has cattle on almost
every range in Northern Montana.
John White, the brakeman killed on
the Neihart branch Monday afternoon.
said to a companion a few hours be-
fore the accident: II do not like the
idea of coming back from Neihart to
Great Falls this trip, because the bod
les of the victims of the Neihart acct
dent will be in the baggage car, and IL
makes me sad to view the boxes con-
tanning the remains" Poor fellow; his
remains were in box similar to those
of the other unfortunates when the
train returned, less than "a hours after
his remarks.
The controversy between the Choteau
Montanian and the DI-puyer Acantha,
has reached a blood-cI .dling stage and
there is every indication that gore will
be scattered over Teton county when
the editors collide. In its last issue the
Montanian says the Acantha came to
life with excavations and vituperations
issuing from its mouth that would put
to shame the hell-born shape that sa-
tan met at the gates of his empire
while in search of this sinless earth"
The Acantha has not yet replied to the
awful accusation.
A petition is in circulation in Teton
county, for presentation to the COVER
nor asking for the pardon of William
Wagner, who was sentenced to three
months in the county Jail at Choteau
and to pay a fine of $780, for disturbing
the peace. The prisoner has about so
days time to serve yet.
The Glasgow Gazette Indignantly de-
MES a brief paragraph published in
the Northern Montana page of the
Standard to the effect that "diphtheria
prevails at Glasgow, but every effort
is being made to confine the disease to
those already afflicted" and then says
editorially that an unfortunate man
afflicted with the diphtheria paraded
the principal streets of Glasgow,
spreading the germs of his dread dis
ease and causing genuine CONSERVATION
among those having knowledge of his
ailment Children played about him
in childish glee, little thinking they
were exposing themselves to a disease
almost deadly in its character. Men
and women rushed about endeavoring
to take charge and dispose of the I'M
fortunate man. . No new
cases of the dread disease have yet
been reported, but the people of this
vicinity will consider themselves very
fortunate If, through the exposure OF
this one case, every child in town is
49, h. \ -
which is to be regretted. owing to the
many deaths that have followed the
disease in Northern Montana this
spring.
In referring to the Inequalities ex-
tended the old soldiers at their reun-
ion in Bozeman James Gibson of Teton
county tells the Monsanian that the adj
dress of welcome extended the veterans
by the citizens of Bozeman was char
acteristic of their hospitality and rev.
erence to the old veterans who hold a
place in the hearts of a grateful ma
tion. The latch string was hanging out
of every door. The street cars were at
their service and nothing was over
looked for their entertainment and
pleasure. They were told to ask for
anything they wanted and did not see
and IL ii wasn't given them to take IL.
If perchance they should be taken in
by the policemen, they would find him
to be an old comrade and would turn
them, loose. II they should be brought
before the police magistrate, he was
also one of the old boys of the blue and
would find them mot guilty" Or If
they should in any way be taken to Jail
they would also find there a hero of
Appomattox and Bull Run and would
receive them as honored guests deserv-
ing of only the gratitude and love that
Americans accord her brave defend
ers. The people of Bozeman will ever
be remembered by the old soldiers.
Nothing was too good for them, and
nothing withheld conducive to their en-
joyment. The next reunion will be
held at Anaconda"
