ranged.

Great Falls. May 27.-Down at the
Black Eagle park great preparations
are making for the celebration Of Me-
mortal day. The fireworks have ar
rived. and are now being unpacked and
arranged In anticipation Of Monday
evening. According to the list prices
they represent a little over 81, 900, one
piece alone costing 500. To Great Falls
people they will be entirely new and
wonderful. There are rockets there
which stand u feet high, and there are
fireworks which paint pictures with the
sky for a background, and are alto
gether o bewildering for description.
The japanese have for years been magi-
clans at this sort of production, and
these are some of their latest fancies.
The Black Eagle falls will be illum-
mated at midnight with pieces which
work both above and below water. and
the mighty torrent which IL now 1ow-
ing over the dam will be transformed
into an enchanted river. The celebra-
tion primarily is in honor of Dewey and
his victory at the Philippines, and the
day will be one Of honor not only TO the
dead, but to the living heroes. Special
trains will bring a thousand people from
Belt, Sand Coulee and other towns
along the line of the Neihart branch,
and the town will be crowded as never
before.

Changes Made.

Great Falls. May 27.-As a result Of
the visit this week to Neihart of George
NJ. Gum and F. NJ. Smith Of the United
States Smelling n Refining company
several changes nav been made In the
working OF the Broadwater mine. Su-
perintendent J. j. Welch was changed to
Elkhorn. where the smelter company is
doing some extensive work. and Ed l.
Murphy, Who has been leasing. put In
charge. Stopping out ore was ceased for
the time being. until a raise is made to
get air. Nearly all Of the men who
had been working there were retained.
AS there was no more work for the
teams to do. they were ordered to Bar
ker. One team went over last week. 1t
will probably be a few weeks before IN
more ore is mined.

A Large wheat Acreage.

Belt. May 27.-Reports from adjacent
ranches indicate that the remarkable
climbed has induced the ranchers TO
sow a greater acreage in Ills cereal
than ever before In the history Of the
country. The warm rains Of the past
two weeks followed by the warm, sunny
has brought the grain up nicely.
and the ranchmen are full Of hope for a
prosperous season. Some few e%nterpris-
ing and farseeing farmers have greatly
increased their acreage Of oats. believ-
ing that this grain will be scarce next
fall and that IL will bring a good price.

duce-Rsview Of Trade.

New York. May z7.-The stock market
enjoyed a period of strength this morning
but the early gains were practically all
wiped out before the day ended. except
in a few special stocks which had sus-
tanned the list all day. Even some Of those
closed at prices - low or lower than
last nights closing. The late
was all the more remarkable on account
Of the sustaining force exerted by the
buoyancy Of Peoples Gas. This stock
made . remarkable display Of strength
and absorbed q large proportion of the
days total dealings. The extreme rise.
almost three points. was effected in the
face of pronounced heaviness OF the gem
eral market. which was dropping under .
persistent dribble in realixins sales. The
advance in Peoples Gas was due to the
very confident buying by the interests on
the inside. 1t may have been directed
against short interests, which have been
put out in the last few days on the
strength Of threatened litigation against
the combination OF companies. After the
stock touched par very heavy blocks
were taken and there were prolonged Pc
RODS when 1t was practically the only
stock appearing on the tape. Its net gain
is nearly 2A points.
Rock Island was advanced almost two
points in the early trading. but saved
only a little over a point OF Its net gain.
The grangers as a group shared in this
early strength, and there was good buy
ing also I'm the vanderbilte.
London was a buyer OF the nternational
stocks In this market and there were con-
spicuous gains In the cases of several
isolated stocks. Later weakness In the
general market was undoubtedly due to a
growing doubt as to the whereabouts OF
the Spanish feet.

Plans for a Big Ditch.

Great Falls. May 27.-Kvle Price of
this city and NJ. S. Darling. a civil en-
gineer of Fort Henton. have returned
from a trip to the and of the Conrad
Investment company, some miles to the
east of Robare. in Teton county, and
on the edge of Blackfeet reservation,
the Birch creek forming the dividing
line. The purpose of the trip was to
ascertain the cost and the feasibility
of running an irrigating ditch from the
stream so as to irrigate the 10000 acres
in the block. The result of the survey
showed thai the intended ditch would
irrigate not only this tract. but 10000
acres more IL desired. The ditch as
proposed will be 20 feet wide at the
bottom and extend some IA miles. Mr..
Darling is now busted in making an
estimate of the cost and when this
work is completed the company will
decide whether to put it in. 1t would
add thousands of dollars to the as
sessed valuation of Teton county If
contaminated.

A SECOND COMPANY.
Several Men Are After the Coveted Posi-
ton of Captain.

Several Men Are After the Coveted Posi-.
ton of Captain.
Great Falls, May 27.-The formation
of a second company OF infantry i'm this
city Is still being agitated. although as
yet 1t has taken no definite form. AT
the time the matter was first mentioned
in these columns there were two candi-
dates for the position of captain, w N.
Fletcher and Vincent Fortune; il now
appears that there are others. The
friends of John T. Athey. who is an ex-
perienced man in soldering. are urging
him for the place, and Berners Il. KEEL
1y Is another man whose friends would
like to see him at the hea Of the com
pany when organized. Each is well
qualified for the place. c. 7. Boal of
the electric light office is mentioned for
first lieutenant.
There is a feeling here that ever
should the company be overlooked In
this second call for volunteers. 1t should
be formed at once, to exist so long as
company A is out of the state. Should
that body return within two years from
the present time the new company
would be expected to disband, so that
company A might not be ousted. This
is. of course, understood by the men
who are anxious to form the new COM
pany.
Down at Fort Benton the citizens
have begun preparations for a company
of infantry to be sem from that point.
and the old soldiers there have inter
ested themselves In the movement, and
promise their assistance in every posi-
BILE manner. The same spirit has
seized the people of Teton county, who
claim that as yet they have not sent a
man, and would like now to be repre-
scented by q company under the recent
call

fed in his favor.

Chicago, May 1.-THE only buying rea-
son at the start in the wheat pit was the
expectation that yesterdays sellers would
be buyers to cover shorts. but that expec-
tation was realized to a moderate extent
only.
May and July received from Letter bro
kers all the support they needed during
the FIRST two hours and 1t did not require
the buying of much to hold them. h dis
position to trade in May having long ago
been crushed, and ell but obliterated In
July.
Yesterdays short sellers of wheat In
this market who were satisfied to buy In
September from Soc TO s6i.c. appeared to
have got all they wanted by Il O'Clock
and the price began to yield for lack OF
buying. There was a vigorous trade last
ing for about Is minutes, during which
the price of September went down to S5c.
May at the same time dropped to IL. 20 and
July from H.10 went down to H.o7. The
market touched bottom near the end OF
the session but reacted some before the
close. July lost 3lxG4c and September 1kn
$40. May ranged between $40 n N.T.
the latter being the final figure.
A large business was done In corn. but
finally broke with wheat. July closed =
dhc lower.
In oats there was quite q good deal Of
changing from July to September al a
premium of 2ssc for July. July closed nc
lower.
The dropping price OF corn and tho i'm
proved of n good crop OF that
cereal had a tendency to weaker provi-
sions. The declines for the day were 21sc
in pork. 15c In lard and I0c In ribs.

Mr.. John Peterson, of Pa%toutville, La.
was very agreeably surprised not long
ago. Fol eighteen months he a been
troubled with dysentry and had tried
three Of the best doctors in New Or

ent medicines, but received very little
relief. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and D~iarrhoea Remedy, having been
recommended to him. he CAV it a trial
and to his great surprise. three doses of
that remedy effected a permanent cure.

to the truth of this statement. This
remedy is for sale by druggists.
