MISSOURI RIVER DRY.
Caused BY an Ice Gorge and the Closing
of Canyon Ferry.

Great Falls Feb. 1.-THE Missouri
river below the Black Eagle falls, was
nearly dry this morning not drop of
water passing over the dam. There was
water enough however, for the power
house. although the power has been
considerably lighter than usual all day.
A visitor to the scene this morning
found quite a number of other sight
seers there Below the dam the water
stood in small pools and men We're
clambering over the rocks and wading
through the water. Superintendent
Dickinson was on hand with his cam
era and took a large number of pic
lures. not forgetting this time to open
the slide.
The water commenced TO lower last
night. and early this morning stopped
running over the dam entirely. How
long this state of affairs will last is
unknown, but probably only for to-day
as the trouble is partially caused by an
ice gorge which will soon break away
and partially by the closing of the
Canyon ferry few days ago, which
caused the river TO run dry there until
the space back of the dam was filed up
and the water could not run over the
top. This same thing has occurred sew
eral times before but only once did the
lack of water cause any trouble. Then
il was necessary to blast out an ice
gorge 10 let the water down.

PROUD OF THEIR SCHOOL.
The New building just Completed at "a
Cost of $4,000

Great Falls, Feb. 11.-Belt citizens
are very proud of their new school
building, which has just been completed.
1t is of brick, two stories high with a
large basement and cost $4,000. There
are six rooms in the building, accom-
modating $50 pupils, and if necessary
the basement can be pressed into serv-
ice and will hold about 100 more AS
it is it will suffice for the needs of the
town for some years, and being a sub
stantial building will last as long as
there is any need of it. There is
room for trustees meetings, plenty of
ample cloak rooms, wide hallway and
a tower So feet high surmounted by a
Flagstaff. The rooms are finished in
tamarack and present very cheerful
appearance. Heat is supplied by two
hot air furnaces and there are all of
the latest appliances for regulating the
temperature of the rooms and venti-
lating the building.
While the building cost considerably
more than was anticipated and more
than the contract bid on it, yet the
taxpayers of the district are very we'll
satisfied. After the contractor threw
up the job, knowing that he could not
put up the building at the price he had
bid, the trustees continued the work,
placing Joseph Wegner in charge as
superintendent, and the result is
building in which they know there is
not piece of bad work.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Registering Agents and Judges of Election
Appointed.

Appointed.
Great Falls. Feb. 11.-At their ses-
sion to-day the county commissioners
appointed w. II. Stafford and r. w
Hanson as registery agents for dis
tricts one and two respectively. The
first will have his office with George
Mcfarland, in the opera house. and
Hanson will have his office with the
Great Falls Iron works. The election
of school trustees will occur on April
2, but voters must register on March "a
to q inclusive.
The commissioners also appointed as
judges of election in district No. / O.

Donnel; district No. 9. ]. P. Lewis r,
w. Hanson, A. E. Caufield These
steps are in line with their declaring
the district to be one of the first class.
This action was taken in reply to eff
forts that had been made by several
persons to induce the commissioners
to declare the district of the SECOND
class. A. E. Caufield filed an affidavit.
the purpose of which was apparently
to the effect that the district might be
considered of the second class. but the
commissioners did not act upon it, evil
IDENTIFY deeming it too ridiculous to con-
slider and adopted the order fixing the
district in the first class, having a pop
ulation of over $4,000. If the district
had been declared to be of the second
class, the election would have been
conducted in the wide open, free and
easy manner of few years ago, when
aliens, paupers, school girls. tran
sients and all other corners voted early
and often.

Every one knows that the heart does

Ing blood into the arteries, and every

Tiger Mine Leased.

Great Falls. Feb. 11-Parties in the
city from Baker state that Steve Peirse
of Neihart has secured a lease on the
Tiger mine at that place and will soon
start the wheels of progress rolling and
commence the shipment of ore. The
mine at one time was a good producer,
but for the last few years. on account
of the low price of silver and lead, has
not been worked. 1t is owned by a
number of Milwaukee business men
and contains a large body of high
grade lead ore, which also runs high in
silver. In the hands of Mr.. Peirse, who
is a practical miner, the mine will, no
doubt, prove equal to its former repu-
tation.

The City Sued.

Great Falls. Feb. 11.-Michael Oswald
has brought suit in the district court
against the city of Great Falls and II.
B. Palmer to recover the sum of 1922
and costs. This is another tangle in
the Central avenue paving miX-up and
the object of the suit is evidently to
obtain judgment which will shut off
the assignment by VogeI, the contrac-
tor to Palmer. The city council has
been allowing a portion of all claims
verified by Vogel and portion of this
claim has been paid, but it is evident
that the plaintiff is not satisfied with
the progress made.

stock markets here were quiet, but gem

sharp rise despite dearer money. The

noticed that however good New York

there. Argentines and Brazil stocks were
good. as also were Italians and Turks, on
the better tone in Paris.
Mines were lifeless. There is some rea-

The DefnuIting Express Agent Let
OF with Two Years in Jail.
Brunswick, Ga, Jan. 13.-Judge Sweat
to-day sentenced ex-Express Agent P. H.
Mabry to two years Imprisonment
The sentence was imposed under most
extraordinary circumstances. Glynn's
grand jury, who indicted dabry, Col. w
E. Kay. prosecuting attorney for the
Southern Express Company, Solicitor Cen
eral John w. Bennett, assistant prosecut-
ing attorney, Col. J. W. Bennett for the
defense and the defendant himself APP
pealing to the court for light sentence.
In imposing il Judge Sweat uttered
some touching remarks on the case. which
told Of the life the trials and the suf-
ferings of Mabry, together with the in
tense feeling in his behalf entertained by
almost every one.
Prosecuting Attorney Kay said in sub
stance that ordinarily he would remain ST
lent under such proceedings, but before
sentence was pronounced he wisked to
make few remarks. In his official re-
lations as attorney with Mabry as agent
of the Southern Express Company he had
found Mabry a true and tried official. The
Southern Express Company asked of the
law vindication of the penal law of
Georgia, not alone on their account. but
on account of the commonwealth, but
when the record is made. up and the vim
dication complete they do not feel called
upon, nor did their counsel, to turn from
the role of prosecutor, to that of persecu-
tor of a wife and children. The company
and himself bear in mind Mabry's long
service prior to his downfall,
and while it was no part of their province
and counsel did not undertake to inter
fere with the discretion. Of the law, if in
exercising that discretion justice should be
tempered with mercy. there would be. no
complaint at the hands of my clients"
Mabry's statement reviewed his life and
work.
During the enactment of the scene from

SALARY LIST OF ATLANTA.
Pay of the Firemen and Policemen
Not to he Raised.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 13.-Salaries in the
fire and police departments and the pub
lie school will not be restored to their
former figures by the City Council this
year.
The salaries of these employees of the
city were cut a year ago when the gen
eral reduction in the tax estimates and
assessments was made. The reduction of
the income of the city last year was
Si41, OO0 This year the reduction will
amount to about $4,000 more. This.
coupled with the reduction of 1897, will
make the revenue of the city fully $170000
less than in 1896. Under these conditions
there will be no recommendation from the
finance committee for a restoration of
former salaries.
The cut, which was made a year ago,
amounted to about per cent. on all sal
aries in the fire and police departments
and the schools. Since that time the men
affected have been hoping that the old
salaries would be restored this year. When
the salaries committee made its recon-
mendations to the Council of 1897 at its
last meeting, it reported in favor of a
restoration of salaries, but while some
members of the finance committee are in
favor of paying the salaries of former
years, they do not see how that can be
done
