Great Falls. March 2.-Ncihart has Gel
ebrated its advent to the outside world as
part and parcel OF Cascade county by n
rose-tinted sensation of the most lively
character. An effort was made to suppress
the facts and the newspapers OF that
camp omitted all mention of the Incident
but the story leaked out and finds its
way by easy stages TO this city.
Last Friday afternoon well-known
business man OF the great silver camp
was publicly whipped by an angry hut
charming brunette whom he had offended
in a serious manner. The raw-hiding oc-
Cured In the shop occupied by the victim
and the latter has since been using lard
and rich mutton tallow TO eradicate the
tell-talc scars which cover his rather at
tractive face. The causes leading up to
the cowhiding date back several months
when the victim became enamor,d of hts
fair assailant, who is the wife of 81 hard
working and respected citizen. The wo-
man reciprocated the affections OF her ad-
mircr and the two have since conducted
themselves In u manner to win more or
less comment from the always-obscrylng
public. Matters swept along easily and
without friction until the man tired OF
the liaison and transferred his affections
TO budding lass who has hardly reached
the age of IL. This entaged the scorned
woman. who acted the part of a detective
and traced the object OF her affection and
the youthful beauty 10 their place OF
tryst. She caught them-indeed she
caught them-and with her right hand
uplifted to the peak OF old Badly, sworc
revenge. Friday afternoon she visited the
mans place OF business, and as he ap-
preached with conhding smile to
square things" his caller turned the
"blacksnake" loose with deadly aud pain
ful effect. The appeals for mercy added
fire to her heart and NgOr 10 her arm
until she wearied Of the task. She then
sought out her husband, told him what
had occurred and the two became recon-
cilcd. The young girls father i now on

SUGAR INDUSTRY IN FRANCE
Plan to Put Sugar Business I'm
der Government Control.


The Japan Gazette says in a recent
issue Deputy Jaures the brilliant lead
er of the Socialists in France, has
proposed that the Government mani
pulate the sugar industry as a mont
poly. as it does tobacco, lucifer match
es and stamps, and as it is contemplate
ing also, alcohol. Holland has partly
solved the matter; the home price of
sugar being so enormous, due to tax
alton, she decreed its reduction, hence
a sudden increase in sales and, natur-
ally, of revenue, while the bounty has
only to be paid on one-half the guam
tity hitherto exported. 1t is that plan,
moved as an amendment, to the pro-
ject of the Government and the budget
commission, that the deputies have
voted. But they can as readily vote
the other way if the Cabinet threatens
to resign. 1t must be borne in mind
that the Prime Minister is an ultra
protectionist, and will soon have to
face the music with the United
States: then it will be diamond cut
