The Death Of The Teacher.


Grim death hath stricken the teacher
at his desk,
His countenance 20 earnest, We shall
see no more
Nor shall his approving smile reward
our task,
When each days labor shall be finished
and Ger.
His task was finished ere his noon d
life.
And silently, his pure spirit to the dis
tant shore.
Hath winged its flight from this world
ofstrife.
And left us on the strand -saddar than
before
He played his partlike . soldier to duty
bound,
A manly part it was. 30 free from every
guile,
That gentle lips shall long bespeak him
well.
When. as children grown, they gather
round,
And recount the happy days. that were
erstwhlla
True teacher. and friend. . long. long
farewell ! g,

William Hortop is regularly receiv-
with Col. Grigsby's cavalry at Chat
tanooga. The young soldier says
the life of continuous drill is most
monotonous, and when he last wrote
was very anxious to go to h front
or be discharged. The latter. action
will probably soon be announced.
Frank Prouett of Philbrook had a
little experience in Great Falls re-
Gently that he did not particularly
enjoy. He lost his freight team, and
after spending a day looking for his
horses found them in the city pound.
The pound-master had a bill of $25
against him, but he succeeded in get
ting the amount reduced to SIS. His
horses were well out to the limits,
but Mr.. Prouett thinks freighters
should camp somewhere near Belt
for safety, as the suburbs of Great
Falls take in a great portion of Cas-
cade county. He realizes that mu-
nicipal government must be main
tanned and pound-masters get rake
off, but he considers 81 a day a pretty
steep price for the care of a horse,
especially when bunch grass is SO
plentiful as it is this rear. Freight
ers must not only hobble but anchor
their horses when stopping near the

If Dave Scott would tell all he
knows about the conduct of the last
administration of the sheriff's office
under a Democrat it would be mighty
interesting reading. We We're told
something about it by The Democrat
just as the campaign closed four
give all the details, evidently. Of
course, Dave was made deputy be-
aus he was the only man that could
be found who could do the office
work. This was where Dave shone.
But when it came to outside work he
wasn't i'm it. AS a trough rider
Dave was a failure. In the memoir
able chase for Bob Ammon, who was
getting away with the money that
belonged to Gilt Edge miners, Scott
came near dying of old age before he
reached Great Falls. The new CD
editor of the Democrat should be
careful how he criticises the present
sheriff and his force. Mr.. Waite is
doing all that can be done to secure
the arrest of Howell without incur
ring useless expens, upon the county.
If there ever was a resort to ''top
buggies" it was under Democratic
sheriffs. Double teams at $S per day
were quite numerous.

Last week we referred editorially
to the attractions offered at the
Trans-NIississippi exposition and in
cidentally stated that a very much
reduced rate would soon be offered
by the railroad companies-probably
one cent per mile. Monday David
Hilger received a telegram from Bill
lings to the effect that the Burlington
will sell tickets to Omaha ON Sept. 2,
good to return within 10 days, for
S17.90 for the round trip-consider-
ably less than half rate. Doubtless
the Northern Pacific will meet this
rate, but of this we are not advised.
Is the Lewistown Democrat now
owned and edited by David Scott, or
was the alleged sale merely a subter-
fuge to cover up some dark scheme
which the uture may bring to light?
Who can answer! Several weeks
have passed since the announcement
of the sale, but at yet no transfer of
the property has been filed with the
county clerk and the mortgage given
on the plant still stands in name
of the original grantor. The style OF
the editorial and much of the local
writing in ourcontemporary the past
two weeks seems very familiar to
readers.
We acknowledge receipt of several
copies of the Columbus (Ohio) Dis
patch, containing "a graphic account
of the Santiago campaign from the
cavalry. The story covers the vari-
Gus episodes and experiences of the
soldiers from the date of their de-
parture from Tampa, through the
Santiago campaign, until their re-
turn to the United States, and is in
teresting throughout. Were it not
for it's extreme length, ten columns,
we should be glad to reproduce it for
the benefit of our readers, and the
nature of the story will hardly per-
init an excerpt without designation.
Elsewhere will be found the card of
DIR. Garrett L. Hogan, who has per-
manently located in Lewistown for
the practice of his profession. The
medical college, one of the best insti-
buttons of the kind i'm the country.
He practiced for several years in
Bozeman, from which place he came
to Lewistown. The doctor can be
found in the Office formerly occupied
by DIR. Monahan, on Main street,
where he will be glad to see those de-
string his services. The doctor ex-
poets his family here in the near
future.
Al a meeting of the school board
last week it was decided to employ
z. NJ. Silloway, of Roodhouse, ILL.,, as
assistant principal, at 81 1000 for a
nine months term. Dir. Silloway has
new lady instructors in their journey
west late next week. Prof. SilIOway
is well known by Prof. Vancil and
comes well recommended from other
sources. Prof. Vancil says he is an
athlete, Il singer, a musician and full
OF accomplishments, besides being a
capital instructor and disciplinarian.

From Victoria, B. c., comes a dis

Billings Gazette: At last a repre-

price he obtained for his wool clip.
Mr.. Sims had made an agreement
with the buyer that he would not di-
vulge the exact price paid, but he
would say that it a consigned at
a advance price better than 20 cents
per pound, which was likely to net
him 81 or - cents, and that the full
amount OF the consignment was paid
in cash.

Novel Use For The Telephone.

On last Friday there was an inter-
esting cause tried before J. o. Drake,
Esq. at Warrenton. A man was
charged with houseburning. On &C
count of the number of witnesses
and counsel (26 witnesses and law
yers) the case was protracted far into
the night. Mr.. +. I. Hicks, of cOun-
sci for the defendant, took the posi-
ton that as the house was not occu-
pied at the time Of the burning, the
offense was not the capital crime Of
arson, but was bailable. This was
strenuously opposed by counsel for
the prosecution. Mr.. Hicks cited a
law book in support of his position
of which copy could not be found
in Warrenton. So by consent, the
counsel for both sides retired to the
Central office of the Telephone E1-
change and called up A. c. Zollicof-
fer, Esq, of Henderson, tit was then
past midnighD who went to his office,
obtained and read the book over the
phone; and as he read, it was re-
peated by the receiver in Warrenton,
and heard to the satisfaction of all.

A fact often overlooked, or not always

is often, by mistake. attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort.

Sudden Death.

Mr.. Samuel o. Perdue, age72 years,
a we'll known citizen of the county,
who lived three and a half miles
from town, died suddenly Sunday
afternoon about $3.50. Mr.. Perdue
walked out to the pasture where he
had a COW tethered short distance
from the house. Not returning in
reasonable time search was made
and he was found dead, his tracks
showing that he had started back in
the direction of the house.
Deceased had not been very well
for some time, and it is supposed
that heart disease was the cause Of
his death.
Mr.. Perdue was one of the best
citizens of the county, honest, peace
able and friendly. He was man of
great kindness of heart, and his
death is sincerely regretted.
The burial was at Plank Chapel
Monday afternoon, Rev. B. G. Alfred
assisted by Rev. G. L. Whitaker, Of
kittrell, conducting the service.
