The warning sounded in many quarters
this morning has had its effect in causing
many small holders, and some large ones
to close out their stocks. There were more
selling orders in the market at the opening
than buying orders, and prices shaded OH
in most directions from initial low quota
tions. The outcome of the scare was still
in doubt at noon, many seeming to believe
that a very small reaction would be suiil-
cient to cause tremendous purchases at the
lower prices. On the other hand, careful
people in all directions pointed to the ease
with which break, once started, could be-
come a panic. The public still believes IN
higher prices and will perhaps continue 10
buy even through the first stages of a Sc
rious reaction. 1t is most noticeable that
many of the pools and large inside inter-
ests have cleared up their holdings and are
now waiting for the market to show its
disposition before continuing their opera
tions. Such a move is usually enough 10
bring a break in itself.
There were one or two notable excep-
tions TO the general rule OF declining

During the first two hours the stock ad-
vanced two points or thereabouts and at

achieve a still higher level The move Is
considered with different feelings in dif-
ferent quarters. Many believe 1t the be-
ginning of great squirt in the stock which
has been looked for during the last two
months On the other hand there is a
feeling that this spasmodic advance when
everything else is weak may be only
symptom Of the break.
Peoples Gas during the first hour ad-
yanced points to ia ga and during the
remainder of the morning it was strong

ference of opinion as to the outcome of the
advance. There have been many people
recently bullish of the stock because of its
paying per cent regularly, who have be-
lieved that once started il would be put
up to 125. Others have been wary of it

always been held up by her as a bless

to be obtained by the people now. Her
habit in all these respects has branded
her as extreme and even Puritanical,
not to say fanatica1 and the straigntest
of the sects. 1t is her glory that intense
righteousness, separation from the
world and self-denial have always been
branded as Methodistic.
What will cause her to continue to
be successful? Times have changed, we
admit, and appliances that were sue
cessful so years ago may not succeed to-
day. But Methodism must always con-
tnue a converting power. We cannot

ARE NOT ENCOURAGING
Reports of the Sheep Industry
in Fergus County.
A GREAT LOSS OF LAMBS
It Is Estim ated That It Will Reach Fully
so Per Cent Fifteen Cents offered
for Clips in Meagher
County.

Great Falls, May 4.-Reports from the
sheep industry in Fergus county are like
those received from other parts of North
ern Montana-not very encouraging. One
extensive grower estimates that the loss
in lambs this spring will be fully so per
cent, while he says that the loss in eyes
will be heavy. More than that. the Sc
we're weather has left the sheep in sucn
a generally weak condition that more
losses are sure to follow. If the total
loss in sheep, young and old, does not ex-
coed Is per cent the growers will con-
slider themselves very fortunate.
From Meagher county it is reported that
some of the sheepmen have been offered
and have accepted Is cents for their wool
clip. Wool is now bringing IA cents in
Utah, and as NJ ontana clips always bring
a higher price than Utah. it would not be
surprising should the top figure of last
year be exceeded by 2 or cents. The
highest price paid here was IS cents for
the c. w. Cannon clip but as that was
an extraordinarily fine fleece it was hard
ly a criterion of the market. At the pres
ent outlook wool of the same grade is
likely to be worth 20 cents this season.

THE COFFEE FAD.
1t Is Superseding the Tea Mania and
Men Are Glad of 1t.

Men Are Glad of 1t.
Not long ago I referred to the effort
which women who travel much were
making to. replace the cosy tea table by
one devoted wholly to coffee. I did not
even dream that the feminine world
would seriously consider the PROPOSE
ton of giving up tea drinking, but
was wrong, despite my boosted powers
of observation. Positively idle women
will do anything to vary the monotony
of their lives even give up their COM
fort. Coffee is all right in its place,
but how can we become accustomed to
taking it at all hours, as we usually
consume tea 1t does not have the
same effect even. l can rest my weary
body and nerves with fresh cup of
tea, then go to sleep as soon as my
head touches the pillow, but just let me
take a wee cup of coffee and the sleep
question is settled. My brain will work
and work until I get nearly distracted,
and my eyelds seem to be pinned open.
All the same the fad is growing, and
men are glad of it, because as a rule
they detest tea. If they must go to af-
ternoon gatherings they want to par
take of all the good things. and coffee
they rank among them. Perhaps this
is one reason for the growth of the fad
clever women always endeavor to at
tract men to their homes. A social
gathering without a liberal masculine
element is dull affair as we all know.
Coffee tables need peculiar surround
ings to be real effective. There must
be a suggestion of the trOpics-palms,
Oriental hangings and dim lights. An
eastern room or cosy corner is the
place for a coffee table.
An inlaid table or one handsomely
polished needs no covering but few
pretty little doilies scattered about If
a cloth is used let it be cream or light
brown in color rather than white. The
coffee equipage is familiar to every wo-
man even to the cups of regulation size.
The refreshments to go with coffee do
not vary much from those served with
tea-sandwiches, dainty cakes and bon
bons being much in demand. The fash
ion of pure white china does not extend
to the coffee. because of its Oriental
flavor. Make your outfit as dark and
rich in coloring as you please, and that
does not mean expensive, mind you, for
Oriental and effective china is often
cheap. Reserve your dainty white china
with it's simple band of gold for the
family table, which should be round,
according to the latest mandates of
fashion. Table cloths are now made
circular to fit these tables, but are too
expensive to become common. In time
they will get down to the level of the
primary purse.

RETURNED SOLDIERS.
Anxious to Get Home, but Too Proud to
Say So


Great Falls, May 14.-Several of the
Lewistown boys have returned from the
war and are either at home or on their
way. Carl A. Anderson has reached home
after few days spent here and at Fort
Benton. He is quoted as saying in answer
as to the feeling of the boys at the front
that they are all anxious to get home
but should one go out to the front and
ask them the question he would be likely
to have bayonet stuck into him.
Private Fred J. Miller has now reached
San Francisco, but is demented and in
the care of Sergeant Fisk of company D.
Miller enlisted in company I, which went
from Lewistown, but was offered, and &C
cepted, sergeantcy in another company
He came to Lewistown from the Mussel>
Shell country in order to enlist.
Another Lewistown boy who has reached
San Francisco on his return is Private l..
d. Smith of company I. He was very
anxious to go to war and only passed the
examination by the use of a little STRAIT
egg. He was taken ill with rheumatism
at Manila and became unfit for service,
and to his disappointment was invaded

Chauncey Stubbs, son of G. c. Stubs, a
rancher down the creek decided to go
out after some geese in the storm.
A while after they had started, Hugh
got out of the buggy to take a shot at
something and coming back, he got in
the buggy and placed his shotgun be-
tween himself and young Stubbs, the
butt on the floor of the buggy and the
1nuzzle resting under his left arm. AL

drove into an irrigating ditch, when the
gun through some mysterious cause
exploded. the entire charge entering
