The whole structure of society rests
 upon the solid basis of mutual confidence. l Therefore when one man lies to another l there is difference between those men as wide as that impossible gulf which l even the grace of God and the deepest
 repentance of the heart may scarcely
 bridge so as to make those men to each
 other all that they were at first.
 The faults and foibles and inconsisten. l ctes of men we can all brush aside and forget as we pass along if only We can believe that the core of the heart is sound and good, bur baw little it takes in the conduct Of ones life. if only it touches
 Jne tap root of his character, to dethroue
 Ike image of his manhood and make him
 a mere thing Of the world.
 Nothing is more swift and certain than
 the natural retrbu,ion, loss and shame
 that mans evil conduct visits upon his
 good name and character. IL is very
 strange how slow people are to learn the exact certainty of the truth that "thc
 way of the transgressor is hard" and
 that ''the wages of sin is death." And
 yet the experience of men, in all ages.
 goes to prove it to be as absolutely true as the common fact that fire will burn
 the flesh. One simple act Of sin and crime may brand mans fair name and character with mark of reproach and shame az indelible as that which God set upon Cain, and at best It will prove to be the curse and burden of his life.
 The greatest, saddest loss in this world is a mans loss of moral integrity. When 8 mans conduct really forfeits the con- hdence of his fellow men there can be but little left which commands the sym pathy and respect of the world. How tearfully insignificant is the life of any one who cannot be trusted. The divine image in him is defaced and the support of his manhood is broken. It is a long. bard road back, and a lonely way when ones manner of life separates him from the fellowship of that social circle. the eternal bond of which is faith in God and trust in each other.
 If men could be made to realize how hard the way If the transgressor is be. 1 fore it is too late, they would keep the straight and narrow way of righteous l ness with fear and trembling, if not with | joy and delight. have seen young men l fall suddenly from positions of responsi- l bility and honor; and l have watched ] them put of theIr prison garb and arise from the degrading position of criminals to try to win back their place and good | name among men, and l must confess that words can only fail to express how sad and how hopeless the task must be to climb up again into the high seat of confidence from which one has flung himself.
 And yet, with the help of God, a man may, as many man has done, and is do- ing, work his way back and onward to a redeemed and nobler life and manhood, turning every experience of his past to the best account for the good of others. TO. o. Wright.

MONROE.
THE LATE MRS JANE SEARS.


 h the death of Mrs Jane Sears of this place, at the age of $ years. another of the links which connect us with the past is broken. Her whole life had been spent in this vicinity, although for only about 20 years had she been a resident of town. She was born in Tashua, Trumbun, and was one of six children of the late Sam uel Lyon, all now dead. Her father had two children by first wife, one of whom, Mrs Catharine Gilbert, is now living at Long Hill, at the advanced age of 94 years. Mrs Sears early married life was passed at Daniels Farm district in the town of Trumbul, coming from there to this town. She was 8 woman of much more than common ability, S great reader, well posted on all the cur rent events of the day, both religious and secular. Family cares and i'll health prevented her leaving her home very much, but she always had warm well come for all her friends and acquaint ances. The loss of a daughter some years since, was a great blow, from which she never fully recovered. She was life long member of the Easton Baptist church, joining during the pas torsse of Rev William Dennison. and the interests of her church and the religious body to which she belonged were ale ways very dear to her. Her husband joined the great majority some years since and her only son survives her. What more fitting epitaph upon such 8 life can be written than ''She hath done what she could"

The Mill Is Running Day and Night on

Great Falls, March 15.-The Lewis
town Democrat says the mill at Gilt
Edge. formerly operated by Ammon
the present mining expert of Cripple
Greek, is now running day and night,
and some very rich ore is being worked
In a few days test will be made to see
how much can be saved. New screens
nave been added in several places and
other valuable improvements made, as
well as needed repairs. When the pres
ent parties took possession of the prop
erty II was found in a very dilapitated
condition. The boilers leaked, pipes
were bursted pumps frozen up, tailings
frozen to the tanks. car track torn up,
glass broken out, doors off the hinges
tools gone. bellows locked up and even
the whistle out of repair, but the inge-
nuity and perseverance of the present
owners have already overcome most of
these obstacles. While at present only
about so tons per day are handled, af-
ter another week they expect to handle
go. There are % tanks in all, ranging
from nine to Is tons capacity each. The
zinc room has all modern improve
ments, and the zinc shavings are manu-
featured in the mill. One pound of zinc
will make about a barrel of shavings
Twenty-Five men are now employed and
as soon as the improvements are COM
pleted so that everything can be work
ed to advantage, 40 men will be employ
ed to run the plant. The mass of peo-
pie have more confidence in the success
of Gilt Edge than ever before although
here, as in all new places, there are a
few chronic kickers.

been very irregular. which made the
task hard one. In many instances
pieces OF land lying adjacent to each
other and of practically the same
value, were assessed at greatly varying
hgures. In Neihart 1t was found that
some lots were assessed much higher
than others adjoining them. This dis
crepancy was rectified as far as posi-
bic, and IL Is likely that some of our
real estate owners will do a little kick
ing because their assessment is higher
than IL was a year ago. while others
will be pleased to find theirs lower.
The same discrepancies were found in
White Sulphur Springs property, and
the values there were generally lower
ed from last years figures-10 per cent
in most cases. Townsend property was
advanced a little, and the assessment
equalized. There is, on the whole. an
increase in the property valuation in
the county of about 500, 900. a large por-
ton of which comes from Northern Pa
cific lands, which have never been as
sessed heretofore.

SHEA'S DOWNFALL.
The Ex-Policeman Goes to Spokane and
Gets Into Trouble.

Gets Into Trouble.
Great Falls, March 15.-The following
article from a Spokane newspaper of
recent date will surprise many:
Jack Shea, eX-chief of police of
Great Falls. Mont, was locked up this
afternoon on the charge of indecent
exposure. Yesterday messages came
from near the switchback in Cooks
addition that a man had been in that
vicinity for several days making an
exhibition of himself and terrifying
women and school children. This aft
ernoon a message came that the man
was there again. Officers McDermott
and Herndon arrived in time to catch
the fellow. He was positively identi-
fled by several ladies' Shea is about
80 years of age, well dressed and with
the appearance of a sport. He was on
the Great Falls police force, and
served two years as chief. He came
here about two months ago."
Shea was never chief of police in
Great Falls. He was on the force for
a time, but his record was not with
out blemish and he was dismissed from
the force about one year ago, after G.
NJ. Webster was elected mayor. Since
that time and until about two months
ago, when he left the town. he has been
working AT his trade, that of a stone
cutter. He was married in this city
last July, and his friends maintained
that he had turned over a new leaf
with his advent into matrimonial ex-
perience. 1t would appear that their
surmises in this respect were radically
wrong

Casino theater at 80 o'clock this MORN

persons of Maggie Wonderly, Nellie Dav-

sic Cronin and Maggie Christie were ar
rested on a charge of exhibiting them
selves in a place where liquor was sold.
The girls had just finished a quadrille
and were Waiting to the bar with their
partners when the officers made their ap-
pearance, took them in charge, escorted
the party to police headquarters and al
lowed the girls to remain in the chiefs
Office while Mollie Thompson was out try
ing to get bonds for their appearance in
court tomorrow morning. The women
were averse to going behind the bars of
the Jail, and while some of them shed
tears and refused to be comforted, a few
of the more aged and experienced wo-
men sat chatting and laughing over their
troubles.
Finally Mollie Thompson appeared on
the scene with two men and demanded
the instant release of the prisoners on
bail. Chief Germ told her the bail was
fixed at $500 for each prisoner. and that
she would have to deposit $500 in cash
or present a bond duly executed and ap-
proved by the court before the prisoners
would be released. NoIlie then jumped
into a hack and drove to the office of
Judge Race. where a bond was made out
and signed by NJ. F. Pettingill and W. NJ
Nichols and handed to Chief Germ. The
fairies were then released and returned
to the Casino joint. where their release
from the police authorities was cele-
brated with liquid refreshments. The
Thompson woman has openly ignored the
authority of the city onicials for several
weeks, but now that County Attorney
Freeman has started in to prosecute her
for violating a state law IL is believed her
resort will be closed up and the woman
properly punished.
