There is no European queen consort filing

Taitou of Abyssinia. She has large

chamberlains. buffers cooks, and guards.
She directs all the grand feasts, has i'm
mense appanages all over the empire. and
resources In kind. She leads a sedentary
life because there are no interesting prom
enades, but when she shows herself in pub
lie she is surrounded with ladies, mounted
on richly harnessed mules, with runners.
umbrella bearers and other attendants The
umbrellas are Of many cOlOrs, but Taitou's
Is red.
The empress is sticker for etiQuet, to
which Menelek attaches no Importance. No
body who has not been formally presented
to her must gaze on her even within the
precincts of the palace. She has a large
kitchen garden. which is one of her many
delights but the moment the red umbrella
appears the gardeners must retire. All
the servants stand alOof with downcast eyes
as she walks by. Not taking much exercise,
Taitou is lost in fat Nevertheless, her pres
ence Is dignified. She Is wonderfully we'll

charming. Her letters are we'll written and

is only distinguished from that of her ladies

A MOST BRUTAL MURDER
The Victim of the Crime Was
Rancher George Smythe.
SET UPON BY FOUR MEN
He Was Giving Them a Lift Towards
Their Destination When the Trouble
Occurred--The ASSISTANTS Cap
tured by the Police.

/! Great Falls, Jan. pa report received
here to-day tells of the first murder
committed on the Crows Nest pass. The
dispatch says that a brutal murder was
committed last week a place called
The Loop, in the Crows Nest pass the
victim being a rancher named George
Smythe. who resided near Garnetts
ranch, in the Pincher creek district.
1t appears that Smythe had been en-
ployed for some time freighting on the
railroad and was travelling eastward,
when some men employed on the Biz
mingham contract asked him to give
them ride. He took them in his sleigh
and carried them as far as the hill lead
ing to Bullhead prairie, when he asked
them to get off to ease the horses going
up the hill They refused to do so, and
an alteration followed, which resulted
in their attacking Smythe and infiicting
terrible injuries on him. They then
made off, and the unfortunate man, al
though suffering fearful injury, drove
on to Crows Nest lake for assistance.
He reached the lake and told his story,
giving the names of his ASSISTANTS. In
IA few hours afterwards he died of the
injuries he had received.
The mounted police at Crows Nest
lake at once started in pursuit and cap
tured one of the men on the road, and
the other three shortly afterwards, con-
cealed in the timber near Birmingham S
camp All of them were taken to the
mounted police post at the Crows Nest
headquarters in Alberta.

Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
disagreeable weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, Ao1hat it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with a grasp that
becomes frmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only cold at
first, and is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it IS more
difficult to cure, and stays longer than for
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
taken; they mark the first appearance of a
disease that will develop in severity and
stubbornness, and which it is impossible
to cure with the local treatment OF sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
a disease of the blood, only blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. SIS. (Swift's Specifc) is the
only cure for catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and deep-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.

chant of Spartanburg, S. c., writes:

Great Falls, Jan. 22.-Yesterday even

ing William Wynn, who was charged
with attempted burglary. He had
been put in the local bastile and the
jailer had shut the door and pushed the
clasp on him. but had failed to put on
the paddock and make it secure. The
clasp works very hard. ana evidently
the jailer drought that pushing it
down would be sufficient to hold the
prisoner The latter managed to get
his hand through the bars, and by
working on the clasp pushed 1t off.
Then he walked into the court room,
and kicking a panel out of the door
walked out and this evening had not
been recaptured. All surrounding
towns have been notified, and it is
thought that he will soon be found and

LEFT FOR HELENA.
The Portland Chinaman Develops n Solu

Great Falls Jan. 22.--kin Tai, the

here yesterday evening, left on this
mornings train for Helena, and bore
with him very decided impression or
the way matters are managed IN this
city so far as his race is concerned. Last
night he objected to talking to the dep
uty collector of customs, and in eonse-
quence a patrolman was called. Even
then he resisted and the twisters had to
be put on his wrists before he would ac-
knowledge the power of the law. Then
he changed his tactics and produced his
certificate. When that had been found
satisfactory and Kin released he imme-
diately developed wonderful knowl-
edge of the cuss words of the English
language and consigned the officers to
all kinds of future torments, both En-
glish and Chinese.
