direct from the people, it is proposed
to send a trim little box containing 5
gold dollars to each of 80 persons who

cf their experience and observation on
the following topics:
How have you been affected by Cof-
fee drinking?
DO you know anyone who has been
driven away from Postum because it
came to the table weak and character
less at the first trial?
Did you set such a person right re-
garding the easy way to make Postum
clear. black and with crisp, pungent
taste?
Have You ever discovered better
way 10 make it than to note the clock
at the time actual boiling commences.
(not when pot is first put on stove) and
keep it boiling moderately for full Is
minutes, using heaping teaspoons
full for each cup of beverage?
Give names and account of those
you know to have been cured or helped
in health by the dismissal of coffee
and the daily use Of the Food Coffee
in its place.
Address your letter to the Postum
Cereal Co, Linn, Battle Creek, Mich,
writing your own name and address
clearly.
Decision will be made and the 80 lit
tie boxes of gold sent out on June 80,
next.
Every friend of Postum is urged to
write and each letter will be held in
high esteem by the company, as an
evidence of such friendship, while the
little boxes Of gold will reach many a
modest writer whose plain and sensi-
bic letter contains the facts desired,
although the sender may have but
small faith in winning at the time If

hat the people of Great Falls received
as to the probable cessation OF prepa-

dispatch cached this city from Ana

and from that time until the close OF
the afternoon and the waning of day
light. there was a large crowd stand
ing about it and discussing the mean
remark was to the effect that President
Mckinley had taken water on the issue
and there was considerable disappoint-
ment mixed with the talk. although

ably had a narrow escape from disas-
ter hat wal always brings, even TO

Great Falls. April Elm spite OF the
hordes of vags and hoboes which drift
into the city with the spring zephyrs.
the police force of Great Falls. though
one nan short, have managed to keep
them at bay. Where one such charac-
ter is arrested. there are at least a
dozen which are warned away from the
town by the persuasive methods best
known to the policeman. This morning
there were but two cases in court.
Thomas Graham. who was arrested last
night for begging on the street, was
fined 500 and costs. but the sentence
was suspended to allow him to get out
of town quickly. w. r. Smith, a
TRANCE in this city. was fined 50 and
costs for being DRUM and sent to jail
that he might get rid of what threatens
to develop into an attack of delirium
tremens.
Frank Smith and James Lloyd, who
were arrested last night for robbinG
two Austrians of some clothing, were
arraigned before Justice Burleigh and
pleaded not guilty. Their trial was set
for 9 o'clock this afternoon.

, Great Falls, April 6.-Yesterday even
ing the police arrested Agnes Hahn in
a Second street south resort and took
her to n station. She is charged with
running away from home and in gen.
eral acting in an unruly manner Al
though she is but II years Of age, she
has made an unenviable record and has
caused her parents. who reside on the
west side, continual anxiety. IL was
only a few days ago that she ran away
and was found in Belt leading a life
Of shame. Her father went after her
and succeeded in bringing her back.
though ii is said that he was obliged
to employ force to do so. She seems to
be incorrigible. Last night she told the
police that they might send her to the
reform school. but as sure as III ever
got out she would re-enter upon her
shameful career and disgrace her people
in every possible manner.
This morning the chief OF police. the
county attorney and Rev. Father j. j.
Dolls had a consultation. and the father
talked for quite a time with n girl.
They finally decided that II was best
TO send her to the House of the Good
Shepherd at Helena, and she VIII be

Serious Loss Of Cattle.

Great Falls. April 6.-Advices from
the range indicate a much worse stu
alton tina many imagined. The loss of
cattle has been quite serious south OF
the Missouri and on lower Milk river.
and all the danger is not over. n
merit of vaccination as a preventive of
blackleg is being discussed by local
stockmen, and the experiment may be
tried on a large scale this season. 1t Is
quite probable that the Shonkin stock
association will inoculate all the calves
branded during their roundups.
