SONG OF THE INDIAN MAIDEN.

I am out by the wood and void,
Out, mid the grass and the fern;
You are housed with your books and gold,
False lessons of life to learn.
/ am out by the flowing stream
Watching the sparkling spray
Where all is beauty; l love to dream
In the wildwood's shade all day;
You are bound by a hundred thongs,
l am free as the wildbird's songs
While i dream OF the one away.
I walk out by the purling brook
A queen among the flowers.
You are alone with your silent book:
! in the forest bowers:
You can hear the harp and lutte
And list to the opera horn,
1 read from the buds their language mute
And sing with the lark at morn;
You are a bondsmanl I am free,
Come to the forest and dwell with me
Mid the larch. the birch and thorn.

TROUBLE FOR 0'C0NN0R
Charged With Selling a Box of
Unstamped Cigars.
AND THEY WERE STOLEN
He Pleaded Guilty to Petit Larceny Be-
fore Justice Burleigh and Was
Remanded to Jail
for Trial.

Great Falls, April 2.-This morning.
just before noon, officer Black arrested
John O'Connor and William Burke for
larceny. The crime is likely to develop
into something more serious than petty
larceny, as it includes a violation of
one of Uncle Sans internal revenue
regulations. This morning shortly after
the breakfast hour, O'Connor appeared
at the shop Of the Black Eagle Cigar
company. and there found Joe Clark.
who is an employee and whom he had
met two or three days ago through a
cigarmaker whom he had accompanied
into town. O'Connor told a pitiful tale
he is but a chubby-faced boy of 49,
of hunger and want, and Joe kindly
gave him the price of a meal. He
went out. Later Joe, in delivering
some cigars, met him at Luther's sa-
loon. O'Connor said he had had
breakfast n still had a nickel in his
pocket: IL Joe would give him a dime
he could get a drink. Joe told him to
go up to the shop, and after a few
minutes he would be there and give
him the necessary dime. When Joe,
after making another delivery, arrived
at the shop, O'Connor was already
there. He took the dime Joe gave him,
and also took a box of cigars which
had not yet received the government
STAMP.
Later he managed to transfer the ci-
gars to Burke, who went about the
saloons trying to sell them. The sa-
loonkeepers recognized the cigars, and
the low price at which Burke was Of
fering them for sale-,5 cents for a box
of 50-aroused their suspicious. They
notified the police, and also Albert
Fousik, the cigar manufacturer. Joe
Clark went out after O'ConnOr, whom
he found with Burke, and invited them
to have a drink, at the same time send
ing for an officer. Between the sa-
loonkeeper, Joe and the officer it was
found that the cigars had been sold
to a man in Stephens Bros bakery,
and they were recovered there. AS
there is a federal statute against the
selling of cigars without an internal
revenue stamp on them, Burke is like
ly to get a heavy penalty as the result
Of this mornings work. Both were
brought to the station and booked for
larceny.
O'Connor and Burke were taken be-
fore Justice Burleigh this afternoon
and arraigned. The charge against
Burke was dismissed, as the only wit
ness against him was O'Connor, M he
vas ready to swear that Burke was a
stranger to him until this morning.
and his attempted sale of the cigars
was lone in entire ignorance Of the
act that they were stolen. O'Connor
pleaded guilty to the charge of petit
larceny, and Judge Burleigh remanded
him to Jail to receive his sentence on
Tuesday. that being the first judicial
day. Burke FASTENED to take himself
out Of town.

STORY OF a RAILROAD.
Unpromising Beginnings of the Big Lake
shore system.

W ~ LII hNeS
shore system.
The consolidation of the Lake Shore
N Michigan Southern railroad with
the New York Central will close the
separate existence of one of the most
interesting roads in the country.
The first railroads in England and
the United States were opened in the
same year, 1880. 1t is creditable to the
courage n enterprise of the west
hat the earliest link of the Lake
Shore was projected in 1885, and that
one of them, the Erie and Kalamazoo.
was begun in that year and finished
and operated in 1887.
The rails used were long joists of
wood and iron straps spiked to them.
once in a while one of these straps
would work lose at one end and thrust
itself up through the floor of the car,
in an inquiring sort of way. These
phenomena were known as "snake
heads" also by other endearing names.
OF course when a snake head came
through the floor the train stopped, as
the motive power was slight.
There is in the LAX Shore Office in
Cleveland a picture of the first train
ever run over the Erie and Kalamazoo.
1t had a tiny locomotive without a cab,
a combined baggage, freight n fuel
car as big as a coal fiat of to-day. and
one passenger a seating apparently
about 20 people. This car had Gothic
windows n doors like a church and a
pitched roof of considerable height
sloping to front and back.
Stockholders in hose days had the
right to use the tracks with their wag-
ons, getting wheels that would fit the
rails, just as wagons now jump upon
street railway tracks. The wagons
weren't in the way, for ain were
slow and infrequent. Onc Fred Avery
made SO miles in three hours on the
Erie and Kalamazoo. Although this
was in 1849, when the system was not
exactly new, Superintendent Bradbury
called Avery into his Office and told
him hat IL ne were ever again guilty of
such recklessness he would be dis
charged.
or course a train crew was not very
large in the early days in the west.
The engineer collected the fares and the
fireman handled baggage and freight
all trains carrying both-loaded wood
for the engine and dipped water for the
boiler from some convenient ditch with
e pail.
The Michigan Southern was the fur
thest west of the little n~eighborhood
lines forming the Lake Shore. For
years IL a its western terminus at
New Buffalo, on Lake Michigan, no one
having much faith in Chicago except
its residents. Not until 1Si9 was the
change to Chicago made.
In the course of time a dozen of the
little roads were consolidated, though
this was not until after the civil war,
and thus became the Lake Shore sys-
ten. II fell under Vanderbilt's control
in 1873, and has practically been run In
harmony with the Central ever since.

Marriage Under Difficulties.

Great Falls. April 1.-The official pro-
moters of Cupid's wiles met a dilemma
at Lewistown the other day. Stanis-
laus F1eury and Louise Mary Walker
applied for a wedding license. Stanis-
laus is a half-breed and Mary is one-
fourth Indian. The bride to be was an
orphan, and she was without a legal
guardian. She was also under Is years
of age. Under such circumstances a
license could not be legally issued
and %ecourse was a to the district
court then sitting under the guidance
OF Judge DuBose. The judge was will
ing to appoint a guardian for the girl,
but h man whom he first appointed,
ID. M. Crowley, objected to acting IL
the purpose was to secure a license. in
which Stanislaus was named as the
groom. The court finally secured the
services of Isadore Berger to do the
giving away and after a delay the cere-
mony was performed. Fleury, how
ever. had to borrow the price of he
license from his bride.

FOR A NEW PLANT.

Mr.. Dunn Sums Up several Important
Factors In the City's Water War.
To the Editor of the Standard:
AS a taxpayer OF Great Falls, i desire
to thank you for the interest you mani
fest in the welfare of this city, and the
espousal of the peoples rights as shown
in your editorial in the Sunday issue
of the Standard on the water ques-
ton.
In common with a vast majority of
our citizens, / desire to treat the exist
ing water company with the utmost fair
ness, and feel nat we are doing so In
favoring the purchase of its plant at
the price recommended by the COM
mittee composed Of members of the
city council and leading taxpayers. viz.
$340. 900. which was offered to. n de-
clined by, the company. This commit

one of whom has had 20 years expe-
rience in such matters, found hat the
plant could be duplicated for $500. 900.
n hat 1t should not have cost more
than $235. 900 at the most under the
construction. The committee recon-
mended that, owing to the unexpired
contract of the company for furnishing
the city with water for public pur-
poses. a bonus of SAC. 900 be offered for
the plant in addition to the cost uf

remainder of the contract period. dis

than the onu offered.

its plant, a sum entirely out of keeping
with the value thereof. Feeling thai

eral one. and because of the exoroi-
tant rates charged .)r water for pub

found that the existing plant could be
duplicated for $2C0. 900; but in order to
treat the existing company with the ut
most fairness, it recommended that a
bonus of $40, 900 in addition to the cost
Of duplication be offered-a total OF
$34O, 900. This liberal offer was declined
by the water company, which made a
counter-prOposition to the council, In
which il offered to sell for $445, 900.
Rather than submit to so exorbitant
a price, the council decided upon inde-
pendent construction, and is now maxi
ing a thorough investigation as to Sc
curing the best source of supply prepa-
ratory to submitting the question to
those who are entitled to vote thereon.
Upon this all-important question the
members of the republican city onven
ton were silent, neither affirmative nor
negative action being taken. Such cow
aruice upon the part of the party lead
ers and it's candidates can have but one
Interpretation. We believe all well-in-
formed voters of this city know that
the only republican paper printed in this
city, the Leader, is owned and con-
trolled by the water company. This
paper is heartily supporting the repub-
lican candidates. Therefore, car there

upon his question are well known by
their action thereon as members Of the
present council. They are unalterably
opposed to the payment of $445 900 for
a water plant hat can be duplicated
with a new one for 5000, 900. They there
fore favor independent construction. Mr..
George r. Wood, our candidate for the
Second ward, is in full sympathy with
them and is running on the same plat
form.
We simply present these facts for
your earnest consideration.

Gems are the contribution of the
week to the controversy over
water In the city Of Great Falls. The
hrst OF these came from Senator Gibson
VINO suggests that in condemnation

ing problem. Mr.. Gibson is for CITY
ownership. His letter recognized the
fact that the public and the water COM

apart. His suggestion Of proceedings in

is not without prejudice in its present
form.
. The second contribution of the week
Is from Mr.. Matthew Dunn. 1t is print
ed this morning. 1t presents one phase
of the controversy in precise form: II
very accurately describes the situation
from the standpoint Of those who are
for something radical in final settle
ment Of this old fight. Now, the Stand

and IL isn't very far away-when the
people in Great Falls who are Of Mr..
Dunn's mind will prove the asser-
ton that they are the majority. II
they really go at II. they will settle the
water question and they'll settle II their
way. The Standard is not prepared to
say that their way is the best way; yet
this newspaper is bound to add that ii
will earnestly advocate the proposition
that the question be settled in the next
best way-if 1t pleases you 80 to de-
scribe it-in case the way that mani
testify is the best way is found to be
out of the possibilities.
Among the partisans in this water
controversy bitterness prevails. The
Standard does not share 1t. Were it
paper In a controversy, for which al
ready there are too many old sores to
show, would be to add gratuitously to
the trouble. 1t would be presumption
on any newspapers part to undertake
to say to the intelligent citizens of Great
Falls that they shall do this or that We
take the situation as it is. Negotiations
closed with an offer from the water COM
pany. Great Falls will never accept
that offer. Thus all dickeres OF. Yet
the old question is as live as'ever: the
Standard means to do what it can to-
ward some settlement that will be a
good thing for Great Falls. That won't
be accomplished in a day. but 1t ought
