TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

AT the regular monthly confer
ence of the Methodist church
after the morniog service last
Sunday, the following preamble
and reasolutions we're unanimous
ly passed:
WHEREAS, it has pleased AL
mighty God, in His great wisdom,
and lnscrutable providence, to re =
move from our church one of her
best and most consistent members,
Mrs Matte Galloway:
BE it resolved by this church
conference:
1st. That in the death of Mrs.
Galloway this church has lost a
devout, lovely christian character.
One who was always ready to
lend sustaining hand whenever
duty called, and one, too, who
delighted, in modest way, t.
soothe the couch of the sick, and
cheer the dropping spirits of the
disconsolate, like the delicate
violet screening itself from pomp
and show and rather inclined tc
manifest its presence by the
sweetness of its fragrance. Her
Imposing personality in the prime
OF young womanhood, and her
deeds of kindness, will linger long
with us, a soft radiance, even as
the afterglow of summer sum
set falls around US like a halo of
peace.
2nd. That the secretary of this
conference furnish the husband of
the deceased with a copy of this
preamble and of these resolutions.
after copying the same in his
minutes; and that he is authorized
to request the publication of the
same in the Southern Christian
Advocate and in each of the
county newspapers.

News is scarce and our imagina-

stop it. When it lacks enterprise
and fails to give you the news, stop
it. But don't stop paper that you
believe to be honest, courageous,
enterprising and clean simply be-
cause it's editor has written his own
sincere views, instead of yours or
somebody else's, for if you do you
are putting premium on insincere

THE GRAND RECEPTION.

Capt. J. o. Gregg of Great Falls
secretary of the arrangements com
mittee for the reception of the re-
turning soldiers, writes the editor of
this paper in regard to the commit
tees work. He says they have not
hitherto been able to do much work
on account of the lack of informa-
tion as to the return of the troops.
But he now says: "The indications
are that large majority of the com
panies will come at once and togeth
err" Secretary Gregg asks two i'm
portant questions which it will be
well for the people of Neihart to
consider. He says:
"lst. Have you a band? Will
your band wish to take part in the
grand parade sc? If they do, and
we can be advised of the fact at an
early date, we can give them place
of honor at the head of one of the
divisions.
, "2nd. Will your labor organiza-
tions join us in this reception? If
so it will convenience us to know it,
and approximately the number to be
present. The greater the number
the better rates we will be able to
obtain from the railroads which have
promised us low rate but have not
vet announced it. The knowledge
asked will aid us in our work with
the railroad company, and will aid
us in better planning the formation
of the parade sc. You can be sure
that the rate will not exceed one
and one fifth fares for the round trip,
we have this assurance"
The citizens of Neihart should by
all means interest themselves in this
movement, and take steps to aid the
grand ovation which North Montana
is going TO give the heroes of the
orient. The HERALD solicits the
suggestions of the citizens of Nei-
hart and the surrounding country
and requests everybody to evince a
spirit of cooperation in this laudable
enterprise.
