THE CITY IN BRIEF.

Great Falls, Jan. 1o.-Diphtheria seems
to be sweeping over Northern montana
this winter with deadly results. Four chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Gilbert OF val
ley county were stricken with the plague
in one day and two of the little ones died
before medical aid could be secured. The
others are very low, but hopes are en-
tertained of their recovery.
H. s. Sherard of Gilt Edge is in the city.
The mines of that camp are closed down
at present, but work will be resumed this
spring.
Fifty-five thousand dollars will be paid
out to smelter employees tomorrow. This
will make more than 100000 distributed
among the working people of Great FAILS
during the present week.
Ten cars of ore have been shipped to To-
cal smelters from Neihart this week.
The death rate in this city for the
month of December was remarkably low.
Six deaths occurred, the causes being
consumption, effusion of the brain, diph-
iberia, apoplexy. anaemia and pneumonia.
The ages of the persons were Y years, %
years, years, go years, IL years and .
months. Two were females. All were
white.
In the district court Largent & Huntoon
have filed an attorneys lien on any Judg-
ment that may be obtained by the plaint-
if in the suit of Mrs. Dahlgreen VS.. The
Montana Central railway, alleging as
such cause of lien that they have not yet
receivd their fee for appearing as attor-
neys for the plaintiffs. The lien serves to
prevent the defendant company from set
thing the suit without trial, without the
consent of the attorneys for the plaintiff
or withou paying plaintiffs attorneys
their fee.
Carpenters employed on the new Gen.
trail High school building are out on a

to work that the contractors putting the
heating apparatus in have a man working
on the foundation for the boilers who is
obnoxious to union men. in that he has
been fined SIS by his union. which he has
never paid. and that since said fine was
imposed he has been contracting and us
ing non-union labor. The carpenters say
as long as he is employed there they will
not work on the building.

any woman's life.
Health is an inheritance due to every
child and within the reach of every
parent to bestow. II is something that
costs no money and is more precious
than a mountain of diamonds.
The childs health depends almost
wholly on the mothers, not only before
its birth but afterwards. A sick mother
can't properly care for her child's health.
A sick mother sometimes bears healthy
child, but II isn't to be expected. Maybe
the baby will possess the appearance OF
health, but will lack stamina. Maybe
innate weakness will develop in after
years.
Every woman should be particularly
careful of her health during the period
of gestation-when the child is really
part of herself.

her body strong and pure and she should
take proper precautions against her time
of labor. For this purpose DIR: Pierce 5

water works to-day filed suit in the dis
trict court against the Montana Union
Railroad company, the Great Northern
Railway company and the st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba Railway company to
enjoin defendants from certain acts COM
planned of. The complaint alleges that in
March, 1882 the plaintiff acquired from
the Great Falls Water Power & Townsite
company. then owner of the land, the
right to lay water mains across a certain
tract of land described by metes and
bounds to the intersection of Second

rian rights; and that plaintiff then laid
a main, openly and VIGOROUSLY. and with
the permission and concurrence of the
townsite company then owners of said
land; that in August. 1880, defendants
acquired title to said land from the town.
site company. but subject to plaintiffs
rights. Plaintiff further alleges that, dur
ing 1895, IL purchased a 16-inch main and
proceeded to lay It across said land paral-
lei to the main laid in 1882 and that de-
PENDANTS did not object to said main being
laid until plaintiff had been put to an ex-
pense of about 5000 and had nearly
reached Ninth avenue south, when de-
PENDANTS. by agents and employees, tore
up, removed and destroyed said line for a
distance of Sc feet back from the point to
which IL was completed; that defendants
have prevented the reconstruction of said
main and threaten to remove and destroy
the original and new mains and to pre-
vent reconstruction thereof by force.
Therefore plaintiff asks that defendants
be restrained from interfering with the
proposed construction or execution of
their threat and that plaintiff be adjudg-
ed entitled TO sufficiency of said land TO
enable IL to comply with the demands of
its franchise. l.s-
