TIRED OF THE OLD LADY

CLAIMED SHE WAS INSANE
When the Doctors Declared She Was Not,
Her Loving Daughter and Son-in-
Law vainly Sought Other
Means to Get Rid OF Her.

Great Falls, July 2c.-A peculiar case
and one which. If the facts alleged are
true, is distressing. came up in the dis
trict court this afternoon. Mrs. Eliza
beth OFT was examined as to her SAN
ity, and a jury composed OF Drs. Rob-
erts Inc Gordon pronounced her sane.
The witnesses against her were her
son-in-law, ]. /. Raids. and her Own
daughter, Mrs. Anna Raids. When
these two had failed to prove that she
was raving mad, they went before the
county attorney and told him that the
county must TAKE care of the old lady.
hat official questioned Raids as 10
his ability to care for her, and. finding
hat he was amply able to do SO. re-
fused to discuss the matter further.
Raids got hot over the matter and
swore that If the county did not take
the old lady off his hands he would
throw her out into the streets.
Sam Moore. the deputy auditor, in
formed him that he could do so if he
wished, but. IL he did he would have
to take a term in the county Jail, and
that sickened Raids of dealing with the
auditors office. Then he and his con
sort went before the board of county
commissioners n endeavored to give
them a talk on the subject. They were
equally as obdurate, and as a last re-
sort the estimable couple took the old
lady into the sheriff's office and tried
to drop her off to the under sheriff. II.

county officials who had witnessed the

she receives decent treatment.

Carbide, which with the addition of

and coke in a finely powdered state are
thoroughly mixed and the resulting
mass fused in an electrical furnace at
a heat of from 5000 to 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit. The result is a solid made
up of 50 parts COX or carbon and IS
parts lime. When thrown into a glass
of water a small lump of this carbide
effertesces, rapidly giving off acetylene
gas (C2H2). which burns under proper
conditions with an intense white flame.
Plants for the production of this gas
are manufactured very cheaply and in
the course of a few years the use of

Boston, July 0.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
of the wool trade The market Is i'm
proving very fast as regards prices, but
with more or less speed as regards the
number of inquiries. The fact appears to
be that some of the mills have sold d good
sum of yarns. perhaps at reductions,
though at a good profit nevertheless, and
are becoming rather anxious TO get their
hands on good lots of wool before the raw
material advances. There have been very
good-sized transactions since our last re-
port. A feature in the market has been an
Increase in the number of sellers. The de-
mand for unwashed feeces has been un-
RENTING and there has also been quite
a movement in the medium and unwash-
ed feeces. Prices are nearly unchanged.
but the feeling regarding them Is some
what more encouraging than a week ago.
The sales OF the week I'm Boston amount
TO 1881 90 pounds domestic and SIS 30
pounds foreign. making a total Of =,
hounds against a total of l.5S6.0oo pounds
for the previous week and a total OF 5.9il.-
90 pounds for the corresponding week
