and $40 per month as alimony.
The most peculiar divorce suit ever
brought in this county was filed in the

in that it distinctly disavows any at
tention of asking for alimony, costs of
suit, division of property, attorneys
fees, or any other material Judgment

her down and choking her, and again
in February of same year he assaulted
her. called her vile names, and in the
presence of her mother accused her of
unchastity. Since that time he has on
various occasions threatened to visit
corporeal punishment upon her, and as
she is troubled with heart disease, and
such threats produce in her an agitation
causing fits of Inconsistencies, she has
upon the advice of her physicians lived
apart from John, and is now anxious
to obtain divorce from him. Her
maiden name was Drew.
Sarah Mckay alleges that she mar
ried Daniel Mckay at Lethbridge on
Jan. %. 1891, and since that time he has
developed into a habitual drunkard,
and neglected to provide for her sup
port and that of her two children. Eva,

She asks for divorce and custody of
the children.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICE.
An Eloquent Tribute to the Memory of
the Late Father Dolls.

Great Falls, Aug. 9-Ths morning an
anniversary service in honor of the late
Father J. ]. Dolls was held at St. AIMS
Catholic church. holy mass being Of
fered up by Father L. Kuster of Spo-
kane, assisted by Fathers P. Desiere of
Butte, E. NJ. Kauten of Spokane, A.
Vermant of Lewistown, Joseph Pudenz
of Fort Benton. An eloquent panegyrlc
was pronounced by Rev Father c.
Pauwelyn of Miles City laudatory of the
missionary life of the late Father Dolls
and his associate pioneer priests Of the
northwest.
The father spoke of the first priests
who left the American college in Bel
GUM for the purpose of going where
priests were needed and could not be
had unless furnished by others. They
had to bid farewell to the dear ones
left behind and devote themselves to
the welfare of the people among whom
they were sent, but they did it uncom-
plainingly and devotedly Many died
in the field of action. Among them were
Archbishop Charles Seghors, who open
ed the way to Christianity in frozen
Alaska in 1861; B. Lemmens of Victoria,
who went to the southern Latin re-
publcs of America to erect a magnifi-
cent cathedral and died of yellow fever
while administering the apostolic right
of confirmation, and Bishop Juner of
Vancouver. Wash, who labored and
died in the midst of his career in his
extreme diocese.
The father then spoke of the life and
work of the late Father Dolls, who was
laid to rest a few months ago. He was
a giant in physique and yet he was
called away at the age of so years.
Those and others, pioneers, missionar-
les and priests. lived and labored among
the people and for the people, attend
ing to their spiritual wants and build
ing up their temporal side, most fire.
Guently having service for their congre-
cations in private houses, school rooms,
halls, etc, until with the growth Of
Christianity there We're finally estab-
lished magnificent churches, cathedrals,
hospitals and school houses. 1t is prop
er that these first priests and mission
aries be remembered by the people. AS
they were the pioneers of civilization
and Christianity, and now that they
are gone, we should offer services and
sacrifices for the repose of their souls.
The people should especially hold fast
to that faith which has kept them in
tact and strong, SO they may enjoy the
great blessing Of seeing priests raised
from their own families who will con-
tnue to preach and administer the sac
rament and will lead to the place where
they have gone.
This evening the visiting priests are
being given a reception at the Black
Eagle pavilion.

A Merited Promotion.

Great Falls, Aug. 9.-Another merited
and meritorious promotion in the ranks
of the Montana Central employees is
that which makes Miss Clara Ludwig
cashier of the freight office of this city
in place of Harry Bevan, resigned. She
is probably one of the oldest employees
of the company on this division, if
not the oldest employe, having been en-
aged here as billing clerk for more
than 10 years. During that time she
gained the reputation of being the best
posted person on rates and tariff of any
who have ever served here, and her re-
cent promotion is but just recogni-
ton of her efficiency.

LOST PHOTOGRAPHS.
Benjamin Franklin Dumped the Lot Into
the Missouri.

Great Falls, Aug. 9.-Those people in
Butte, Anaconda and this city who
gave their photographs to one Benja-
min j. Franklin TO be enlarged and re-
turned as life-like crayon portraits or
oil paintings may as well say goodbye
now to the dollars which they put up as
a guarantee deposit. Benjamin the other
day finished a five-day term in the city
Jail. He was pursuing his vocation
across the river some time before and
In his ardor he kicked in a screen door
in order to persuade a woman that she
really needed one of his pictures with
a five inch brass gilt frame. When he
came out he continued the pursuit of
art, but with diminished zeal and this
morning he bought a ticket for Fort
Benton, and presumably went down
there to educate the people on art mat
tiers. Fulfilling the scriptural injunc-
ton to the letter. Benjamin not only
shook the dust of this city from his
feet but as he was crossing the Mis-
souri, river he dumped therein a miscel-
laneous lot of photographs which he
had collected in the three principal
cities of the state, Butte, Anaconda and
Great Falls. He had gathered in any
where from s. to s. deposit on each
already too large. A few minutes later
they were picked up at the Montana
brewery and sent over to Chief Guerin.
Selecting a few familiar faces from
the bunch Guerin went around to the
owners and learned the story, and then
he got a warrant. Fort Benton was
warned and replied that Ben had not
struck that town. The police are still
looking for him, and II they find him
he will be sufficiently punished if
brought to face the people he has
duped.

BACK FROM MANILA.
Sergeant Shaults of Company 1 Has Had
Enough of 1t.

Great Falls, Aug. 9.-Another of the
boys has returned from the Philippines.
Quartermaster Sergeant w. A. Shaults
of Company l of Lewistown came in
this morning over the narrow gauge
and is spending the day here. He is
not very enthusiastic over the war, but
says it Is all right for any one who
likes that sort of thing. He will not
re-enlist and he declares that out of the
entire list of Company l there are but
two men who will. These are Young
and Gauly. He speaks very highly of
Generals Lawton and Macarthur and
says that General King is very popular
with the boys, but is silent about Gen
eral Otis. merely stating that the news
paper correspondents who have criti-
cised Otis are in better position to
judge than any private or officer and
that it is hardly probable that they are
mistaken. He further states that the
majority of the boys are thoroughly
sick of the war and will be glad to get
back home and away from 1t. He
could not see very much in the ISL
ands, but supposed that since the
United States had got into the row they
would have to stay with it. The Off
GERS of the Montana regiment were
held in high esteem, not only by the
men under them, but by the rest of
the troops. Colonel Kessler is showing
himself a brave officer and Captains
