Wednesday afternoon while the crowd was standing aronnd the corner of Sherwood avenue and Mena street waitiag to hear the telegraphic news from the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons fight, Mrs. Fanny Wright was noticed com- ming hurriedly down the street with fire in her eye.

Mrs. Wright followed him in and as she came up to him she drew from under her cloak long blacksnake whip and, with the skill of an OK driver, she ap- piled the lash around--his head and shoulders, bringing blood with every lick. After about ten lashes she quit and went on down the the street apparently satisfied with her work. The trouble was caused by Whitaker giving evidence in court winch was very damaging to Mrs Wright

In proportion to the size of the city in which it is printed The Kansas City Star has larger circulation than any other American newspaper It's re. marlSable success has been achieved by it's unfaultering adherence to the rule of giving it's readers the best that The Stars increasing revenues could furnish and it's improved facilities could supply The Star was the first newspaper to give it's readers full weeks papers-six evening and Sun day morning-for ten cents, q thing that could not be profitable except when done on . big scale on which The Star does every thing.

Rapid and Substantial Growth Of Kali

n@phu ana b~upstAntfnk 9roWth OF Kali
spell, Mon. In the Rockies.
Magic cities have almost ceased to be
q novelty In western life In this coun-
try, and it has come to be the common
belief that their days are practically
over, says the New York Sun. Those
that do spring up nowadays are usually
boom" towns, which live O few years
and then grow old prematurely and
practically die q year or two after they
are born. Now and then there is an ex-
ception to this Ule In some rich mining
country, but even these new towns Ian.
guish after awhile, and the real life Of
the places seems to die out slowly. Thers
Ia n notable exception to this rule,
however. 1t is the town Of Kahspell, In
western Montana, ON the west side Of
the Rocky mountains.
Kalispell is the meeting place Of two
divisions Of the Great Northern rail-
road, which several years ago was built
to the Pacific coast. -Four years ago last
June there was not a single building in
Kalispell. Now it is a city Of 1000 in
habitants. 1t is probably the most pros
porous town Of Its size in all the great
west. 1t has none Of the riotous life
that characterizes the new towns Of the
west and is built for business and good
order. 1t contains five churches, all Of
moderate size, two banks. two large no.
tells, n brewery, several schools and
many handsome and modern buildings.
The town and it's buildings are lighted
by electricity, and it has q complete
system of sewers, a modern fire depart
ment and a city charter, with a mayor
to administer the laws. It is In no sense
q boom town, and it has none of the
ephemeral life that is typical in the
magic cities of the far west. Kalispell
has come to stay and to grow.
The place seems so substantial with
its stone and painted wooden buildings,
its electric lights, its sewer system, its
schools and churches, its air of general
prosperity, that travellers can scarcely
believe it when they are told that the
place is only three years old. Its like
probably never existed in the develop |
ment Of the west, and although Mon
tana has larger and wilder cities it has
none that is more substantial in respect
10 population and age. The place al
ready boasts Of being q model city.
