OF Mountains Shown in n Photograph of
Bolt of Lightning.


Mssoula, Aug. 5.-Dr. c. w. Lombard
last week succeeded in getting a fine
photograph of a bolt of lightning de-
scending into the hill south of Pattee
canyon. The photograph is very dis
tinct and shows the outline of the hill
clearly. There is however, a peculiar
ity about the photograph which is puz-
cling all who see it. There is but a
single range of hills south of the can
yon and this is sharply outlined in the
photograph so that it can be recog-
nized by any one who is familiar with
the mountains. Yet, the photograph
shows two ranges of mountains behind
this one. They are different in outline.
so that they cannot be photographs of
the reflections of this range upon the
clouds or anything else There is no
range in this vicinity that corresponds
with the outlines shown in the picture,
so it does not seem possible that they
are photographs of any other reflection.
Still the trees show clearly in the pro-
file of these mystic hills and they look
as real as does the range into which
the bolt of lightning is descending. The
picture is one of the most interesting
that has ever been seen here.

the missionary requested each person
present to give quotation from the
scriptures, whereupon the man who
had the difficulty with his wife got up
and said, briefly:

black woman got up and prayed that

AN ICE WAR ON.


bacteria Alleged to Ecvel in One Mans
Product.
Missoula, Aug. 8 Missoula has an
ice war. The city is much wrought up
over 1t and the warning concerns have
their partisans in public and private
life, so that the war is being waged all
along the line. 1t * alleged that the
ice that is sold by on" dealer in town
contains bacteria and all sorts of things
and the board of health has ordered
this ice quarantine, whatever that
means. This action is said to have been
taken upon the repres nations that the
ice is not fit for use in water that is to
be drunk. The compliments in the
matter, however. appear to be men VINO
are interested in other ice companies.
The man whose ice is sought TO be con-
demned has been running two wagons
and doing a good business. None of his
competitors have had more than one
wagon on the street and the victim of
the order made to-day claims that
there is a large-sizei conspiracy at
work against him. No analysis has
been made of the ice and the ice has
been used from this same place for
years without any complaint having
been made. The attorney who Is adVis-
ing the two-wagon ireman told nm 10
continue to sell the ice. so that he could
be arrested and in this way get the
matter before the courts. This point
has not yet been reached and there are
lively times in prospect for the lcemeh.

BRADsTREETs TRADE VIEWS.
Situation Continues First Rate and Loses
Nothing I'm strength.

Situation Continues First Rate and Loses
Nothing I'm Strength.
New York, July %. = Bradstreet's
says: The general trade situation has
apparently lost nothing in strength.
The aggregate of midsummer busi-
ness is of an unprecedented volume,
and signs of expansion in the demand
for fall and winter goods increase.
Prices, except for the cereals, coffee,
raw sugar and some dairy products,
are either firmly held or tend up
wards. Notable among those advanc-
ing are pork products, petroleum, cop
per. tin, tin plates and raw wool, while
the list of products unchanged includes
refined sugar, hides, leather, lead and
cotton. Crop prospects are encourag-
ing, the movement of grain to market
is of immense volume, and railroad
earnings consequently continue to
show large increases over preceding
years.
Possibilities that the present corn
crop will equal, if not exceed, the
largest on record avedepressed prices
of this cereal to an extent equal to the
decline in wheat. Iron and steel retain
all of their old strength. Structural
forms of iron and steel are backward
in delivery, and some new work has
been discouraged by fears that sup
plies of material will not be forthcom-
ing. In textile circles the situation is
one of unabated strength, but particu-
larly so in wool and wooden goods.
Advices from the boot and shoe trade
are generally satisfactory, and little
difficulty is experienced in obtaining
the advanced quotations demanded.

Der ia, as compared with 174 last
