New Methods Likely to Be Adopted
 By the House.

It is likely that the Reed rules will go out of congress with Reed. A, change of the rules of the house was what the discontented among the rep resentatives wanted more than a change in the speakership. It is prob able that if Reed had decided to re- main in congress there would have been a change in the rules. The force of the Reed rules, after all. was more in the man than in the rules. Another speaker with the same rules might not have been nearly as powerful. Under the system in vogue during the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-ffth con- gresses-or it might be more properly said, since the beginning of the Fifty first congress-the committee on rules has directed legislation and the speak CT has controlled the committee on rules. This committee has been essen tially the speakers committee. Be fore it was known that MT. Reed in tended to retire from congress scheme had already been devised to procure a reorganization of the com mittee on rules, whereby it should be selected by the house direct and the speaker should not be member of the

Many People Joined the out-of-Town

Great Falls, July 4-This has been
one OF the quietest days of it's kind
ever passed in this city For some rea-
son no interest was taken in The matter
OF getting up a celebration, cn1 The
/ whole thing was allowed to go by de-
iault. The races at Black Eagle park
IN the afternoon and the fireworks
there in the evening were entirely pri-
Vate affairs and designed only 10 bres k
up the monotony of the day, erd in
that they succeeded for those who at
tended.
Out at the Great Falls park, two
miles up the river, there was a good
sized crowd through the day who
sought the quiet of the trees and
shrubbery and also the attractions of
the pavilion. All of these things Were
practically outside of the city and
within it only the occasional popping
of the firecracker or the louder re-
ports of it's big brothers distinguished
the day from the average Sunday The
stores closed their doors at noon, and
both of the bands were absent. the
Black Eagle having gone to Lewistown
on Sunday to help in the celebration
there and the Great Northern leaving
on the early morning train for Helena
and the ceremony of the corner stone of
The capitol.
The Masons of the city went to Hell
ena in a body, and many of the other
citizens took advantage of the low
rates offered to visit the town in the
gulch and witness the ceremonies The
train left at o'clock in the morning
instead of the usual hour of o'clock,
and so what little stir there was in con-
nection with the departure of the crowd
took place at an hour too early for the
average man about town.

At BLACK EAGLE FALLS
The Grand Stand Crowd Was
Satisfied.
THE TRACK WAS HEAVY
Events Were Made Up Entirely OF Local
Horses-The Indian Race a Fea-
ture-Apother Meeting
Arranged.

Great Falls, July Awhile the races
at the Black Eagle park this after
noon were made up entirely of local
horses, and the track was heavy after
last nights rains, the events were kept
moving at a lively rate, and the crowd
which filled the grand stand seemed
pretty well satisfied with the entertain
ing Of the local horses will be held in
about three weeks. Messrs A. r. Kyle,
Alex Cochrane and ]. G. Thompson &C.
cupied the judges stand, while NJ. Phil
lips held the watch. The first on the
card was pole team race, half mile
heats, best two out of three. The en-
tries were Tommy b. and Dick, owned
by Reichel and Phillips, and driven by
Joe Bryant; Harry r. and Montana
Sneak, owned by Swain and Ringwald,
and driven by the latter Bryant took
two heats straight in 20 and :27.
There were three entries in the
three-eighths dash-Hattie Ball, own
ed by Joe Dupee, and Ryestraw and
Roanette, both owned by James En-
Slish. The start was an excellent one,
Hattie Ball taking the lead from the
first, and winning easily in 40.
The third race was a gentleman's
road race, mile heats, best two in three,
and between the heats were sand
wiched a boys pony race and an In
dian race, one-half and one mile In
the road race the entries were Mon
tana Sneak, driven by Swain; Harry
R., driven by Ringwald, and Dandy,
driven by Bryan. Montana Sneak took
the first heat in 2:51 and Dandy second.
The second heat went to Harry r. in
2:55 and Sneak got the third in 2:47H,
with Harry r. second.
John Botkins, H. Lamma, Jesse Her
ring and H. Gehring were the entries
in the boys race. Lamma held the in
side and the lead for the first quarter.
with Botkins a close second. After
that it was easy to see that these two
horses were outclassed in the distance.
Gehring won by a neck over Herring,
with Botkins third; time, 1 minute.
The classical name of the mounts in
the Indian race were Pine, Heap
Charley, Spotted Chief and Plenty
Grass. The mounts started any old
way, getting their feet hooked under
the forelegs of their steeds, and throw
ing in a full measure of the kibosh,
but from the first Heap Charley had
the best nag, though the pink-eyed
buzzard head steered by Spotted Chief
pushed him hard. He won by half
neck in 2:21, Pine third.

Great Falls, July 4.-Joseph Humph-
reys, SO years of age and an employee
of the Great Falls Meat company, died
last night of heart failure after an 81
ness of several months. The funeral
will be held at 2:30 p. m. Friday at the
First Presbyterian church, the services
being under the auspices of the Sons
of st. George. So far as known, the de-
ceased has no relatives in this part of
the country, and possibly none at all
in the world. But little is learned IF
his history save that prior to his COM
ing to this town his life had been full
of excitement. To friends he had said
that he moved as child from England
to Australia, and that his mother was
drowned on the voyage. In Australia
he was taken care Of by a friend of his

parents, who later sent him back to
England to be educated. Finishing ;his
he went to South Africa, where he
drove the first stage out of johannes
burg He spent the rest of his life
prior to his residence here in travelling
over the world and had visited nearly
every country in it.
He has lived here for eight years,
and before that he was at Medicine
Hat for some time. Throughout The
northern part of the state he had a.
large acquaintance and was held in re-
spect by every one. He was a faithful
employe and firm friend ana leaves
many to mourn his early death.
