A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
John j. Mack Visited the Grave of His
Father.

John j. Mack Visited the Grave of His
Father.
Missoula, Sept. 23.-Those who were
fortunate enough to witness the per-
Torrance of "A Breezy Time" win re-
member the entertaining portion of
that piece, which is contributed by
John j. Mack who plays the part of
Smiley spooner, the ubiquitous col
lector. There is something touching in
this visit of Mr.. Mack to Missoula.
Ten years ago, in the fall of 1889, his
father died in this city and was buried
in the Valley cemetery. This is the
first time that the younger Mack has
visited the city and the first opportu-
nifty that he has had of visiting the
grave of his father. Older theater-
goers will readily remember the spe-
cialty team of Ferguson and Mack.
Theirs were names to conjure by and
it required only a mention of these
names to fill any house at any time.
Theirs was high class work and they
We're strong favorites all over the
northwest, as they were everywhere.
They were playing an engagement in
Missoula 10 years ago when Dick Mack
the witty, genial, whole-souled come
dian, was taken i'll. His sickness soon
became serious and it was apparent to
all his friends that he had done his
last turn. All that could be done for

were with him, but medical skill and
careful attendance awaited naught, and
he died after a brief illness. His in
terment followed in the cemetery be-
low town, and until to-day his son has
never been able to visit his last rest
ing place.
One of the other members of the
Breezy Time" company, in speaking
to-day to a Standard reporter of this
incident, said: Il have played with
Mack for long time and l have heard
him speak often of the fact that his
father was buried in Missoula. He never
mentioned this without expressing a
wish that he might some time be able
to visit the city and go to his fathers
grave. When he learned while ago
that we would play Missoula this trip
he was filled with the idea that he
would be able to fulfill his long desire,
and he has talked of 1t daily. We are
all fond of him and we have shared his
satisfaction at being able to crafty
this natural wish of his. After We
reached the city he was nervous and
impatient until he found time to drive
out to the cemetery"

THE ADVANCE GUARD.
Delegates to the Irrigation Congress Be-
ginning to Arrive.

Missoula, Sept 23.-The advance
guard of the delegates to the irrigation
congress reached Missoula to-day and
the gentlemen that have been received
this evening announced that there is
good number of others on the way and
due to arrive here tomorrow. The
present indications are that the attend
ance at the congress meeting next week
will be satisfactory. The local arrange
ments are completed and the exhibition
of Montana farm products is nearly ar
ranged. The display from the Yellow
stone is expected tomorrow and much
of the Ravalli county exhibit is yet to
come, but the Flathead and Missoula
county displays are in place. 1t is also
expected that Professor Emery of the
Agricultural college will bring with him
a display of Gallatin county grain. This
will round out the display and make it
the most complete showing of Montana
products that has ever been shown.
1t is unfortunate that the fruit crop is
so small this year, as this part of the
display is not as large as it would have
been in an ordinary year. But the dis
play is one of which the state need not
be ashamed and shows satisfactorily
what Montana can do in this line.
