The Attorney General confesses that
the law as patched plastered
with amendments by the legislature
and enacted is a complicated affair,
requiring, al he says, "the skill Of a
Philadelphia lawyer to unravel it,"
He finds that the law does not, as
many believed, repeal the previous
enactment OF the Legislature ON that
score, and that all persons, whether
residents of incorporated cities or
country districts, must pay the poll
tax.
Rocky Mountain Husbandman:
When we went to press last week
our friend and fellow townsman,
Max Waterman, was in a very pre-
carious condition, his pulse had gone
down from normal to fifty per
minute and he lay i'm "a kind of deler-
ious stupor and a dissolution was
momentarily expected. He, how
ever, rallied from this condition
about ten hours later and his delerium
assumed a more acute form and his
pulse rallied and in some respects he
became very much improved. His
physical condition was, to say the
least, very much more promising.
DR.. Lesser, of Helena, who came and
remained a day or two a week since,
in consultation with Drs. Kumpe
and Mckay suggested no change in
the treatment and none Of the physi-
clans at this writing venture to
offer his friends a hope. Evidently
the patient is suffering from some
severe brain trouble and 1t IL impos-
sible to tell what the result will be.
Helena Independent: The bodies
of Montana volunteers who gave up
their lives i'm the Philippines while
following the flag, will eventually
rest ear friends at home. Gov.
Smith has received assurances from
the war department that thegovern-
ment intends to return all bodies of
United States soldiers who fell in the
Philippines to this country. The
work of Identifying the bodies and
marking the graves Of the fallen
soldiers il now going on, and the
quartermaster general of the army
writes that when cooler weather will
warrant 1t, the government will ship
the bodies to America. Relatives,
who have the first claim on the
bodies Of the dead soldiers, may die
tate to the government the point to
which they shall be shipped. All I'M
identified and unclaimed bodies will
be returned to this country and in

Sheriff Shaw informs us that Mrs.
VIM. Shsules, wife OF Sgt. Shaules OF
Company |, took exception to the
concluding sentence of a local which
appeared I'm these columns last week
concerning a letter received by Mr..
Shaw from her husband. 1t was
said that sit is not unlikely that Sgt.
Shaules will be home In a short time,
preceding the return OF thecompany."
We did not understand nor did we
say that Mr.. Shaules had communi-
Gated his intention Of coming home
and we are surprised that his wife
should have so misconstrued the re-
mark az to take offense. Mr.. and
Mrs. Shaules' child, we are sorry to
state, is lying very low and the

School will close Friday afternoon
of this week, examinations being
now in progress. Profs. Vancil and
Sinowsy expect to leave Saturday
for the east, travelling by private
conveyance to Big Timber. When
Prof. Silloway returns for the fall
term he will probably be ccom
panied by his family.
A land decision Of considerable i'm
portance to those affected has been
made by the secretary of theinterior,
who rules that: On the death Of a
homesteader, leaving a widow and
heirs, the widow takes the home
stead right of her husband free from
any claim on behalf of the heirs, and
il vested with full power to complete
the entry for her own benefit, or TO

Monday evening-quite late that
evening-Dr. Hogan was engaged in
explaining to "A party of friends what
Johns and |" are going to do to
the Citizens municipal ticket. N
another quarter Johns was quite
confidently detailing the movements
arranged by doc. and l" for the
city election. Will some one kindly
furnish the photographer with a list
of the voters who will follow that
combination. 1t would surely be a
curiosity If you can get them
grouped.
DR.. Hogan was about town Mon
day soliciting subscriptions for an
appropriate celebration of 1.-THE Fourth
of July. Some time since he agitated
this matter a little, but already
plans have been well perfected for
celebrations in other towns and ii
would appear that Lewistown bust
ness men must hustle II they are to
command the attractions which will
ensure a successful gloritication.
The movement has met with quite
ready response in the matter OF sub
scriptions and it is urgent that
action be assured or the matter
dropped SO that the arrangements
in other towns nearby may be con-
cluded.
Mrs. NJ. l.. Hanson and her sister,
Mrs. Stone, left yesterday via Billings,

Hanson and her sister, Lewistown
loses two estimable ladies who will
be greatly missed in church and
social circles. Mrs. Hanson has
acted as librarian since the establish
ment OF the public library, and for
these services. given absolutely free,
she deserves the sincere thanks OF
everyone Interested in literature or
education. At the end OF two years
she was able to deliver to President
Smith every book but one, all in
good condition. without her, or
some one equally public spirited and
responsible, a public library would
have been impossible.
