While returning from lower Box
Elder Saturday night, County Survey
or Stafford got lost among fences and
was compelled to remain out all night.
The night was of inky blackness and
he could not see his way out and back
onto the trail which he had left. As
the team would not stand while he eX-
plored he made a dry camp until day
light came to his relief. Mr.. Stafford
SAYS that it is the first time he has ever
been lost and compelled to remain out.
Austin w. War;, assistant cashier of
the Fergus county bank, departed last
Monday on the Harlow coach for Kan
sas City on an extended business trip.
During his absence he will visit both
Chicago and New York, stopping in
each place for a few days, and upon his
return trip may make a short stop in
Salt Lake City. Mr.. War; has earned
a vacation and we trust his trip will be
beneficial. He will probably be gone
about three weeks in all, but expectsto
reach home in time to vote for McKin-
ley and Roosevelt.
Accompanying David Hilger upon his
return to Lewistown last Sunday were
his father, Judge Nicholas Hilger, his
mother and Mrs. VIII Hilger, the be-
reaved widow of David Hilger's broth
err. who was drowned in Lake Bennett
last Judge Hilger is n of
the pioneers of Montana. He came to
this state in the early COS and has since
become one of its best known and most
highly respected citizens. He and his
wife and daughter-in-law will remain
in Lewistown for about two weeks Wis
ting with the Hilger family, after
which they will return to their home
in Lewis and Clarke county.
On account of Commissioner Corbly
not having reached home from Helena
the meeting ofthe board was postponed
again from Monday until Friday and a,
that time the bids advertised will be
opened. In order to take advantage OF
the delay forced by the non-attentiou
to duties of Mr.. Corbly, Chairman Phil
lips and Clerk Kelly have re-advertised
for bids on the New Year road and they
will be received up to the hour o fmeet'
ing Friday. 1t has been suggested that
at this meeting the board provide som
other place for the election in Yves
Lewistown than the council chamber
That room, nor the whole house, would
not accommodate the voters who viii
congregate that day.
r. Won Tobel, Republican candidat,
for associate justice Of the suprem,
court, left Lewistown for Helena las
Saturday morning, and immediatel,
upon his arrival in that city, will re
port to Republican headquarters TO
duty in the campaign. Mr.. von lobe
was unable to say when he left her
just what would be expected of him b,
the Republican managers, but believe
he will be called upon to make a tou
of the entire state, speaking in a
many cities and towns as possible be
tween now and election. AT all event
he will not be home again until a few
days before election, and in the mean
while it is safe to say he will not b

Poison in Potatoes,

The Sanitary Home is authority for
the statement that potatoes contain
a poison known as solanin. New po-
tstoes contain comparatively little of
this poison unless they grow above the
surface of the ground and have a green
skin, when they are generally known
to be poisonous.
IT Is not, however generally known
that old potatoes contain much more
of this poisonous principle-solanin--
and many cases of serious poisoning
have occurred in late summer when old
potatoes are used. In 1892 and 1893
there was almost wholesale poisoning
among the troops of the German army.
The symptoms were frontal headache,
collie, diarrhoea, vomiting, weakness,
ani slight stupor, and In some cases d.
latation of the pupils of the eyes.
Meyer investigated the case and found
in old potatoes. kept in damp place
and beginning to sprout, twenty-four
times as much solanin as In new %.

Pewter Again In Fashion.

There is a passion for pewter just
now; pewter made into all the knick-

few years been seeing in silver. There
is about pewter softneSS and pliablli-

al with which to model, and, therefore,
besides it's use for small pieces, artists
are working out some of their best de-
signs in it. In fact, reduced figures
from life and after the antique are be-
ing exhibited, along with those Of
bronze and plaster. Smaller pieces.
happily within reach of many are bon
bonieres, trays and ash receivers,
mugs, plates and small figures. All
of these are presented in innumeraDle
shapes and designs.
Collectors of mugs are being made
happy by this revival of the use OF
pewter, and little short of madness Is
about regarding the number and rarity
of those seen at informal evening par
ties or at other times decorating the
side walls of dining rooms. The plates
also are mostly seen as wall decora-
tions and produce stunning e1iect

background.

P~ERSONATED A A
Startling Career Of a Hungarian Count
ess Who Had Mn Mires

ess Who Had Mn Wives
The instances where women have
donned male attire and acted the part
Of the sterner sex are many. One Of
the most remarkable of these is that Of
the so-called Count Sander Way. Of
Hungary. In August, 1897. this indi-
yidual married a teacher at Klogen-
furt. The newly married couple lived
for a time with the girls father. an
inspector Of forests in that village.
But the father-in-law found himself
constantly heeced by the alleged count
the references he gave were all bogus
and the inspector, convinced his son
in-law was a swindler, put detectives
on his track. Then a series of ex-
traordinary revelations were made.
The count was no count, but a coun-
tess, the daughter Of the late Count
Ladislas Way, a general ana imperial
chamberlain. Her name was Sarolta

waited long and anxiously for an heir.
and she feared to teil him that his first
born was only a girl With the aid OF
a nurse she concealed from him the
sex of the child. and as time passed
took all necessary precautions to con-
tinue the deception. Sarolta went into
knickerbockers and roundabouts at
the age of 3, played boys games and
received a boys education. When she

ACE WITH A BEAR.
And the sheriff Finally Found Refuge

ana the Sherlu flnaliy fOunu ReauEe
in a Tree.
Among a party of New York sports
men hunting recently around Eldred.
in the wilds of Sullivan county, was
Sheriff W. C. Baker of Queens county,
who narrowly escaped with his life in
an encounter with a bear. The hunt
ing party started a mother bear and
its cub, and as the bear went rushing
by Sheriff Baker he pumped the cub
full Of lead, killing il almost instantly.
To his great surprise the mother bear.
stopped instantly and went back to the
lifeless offspring, meanwhile keeping
an eve on the sheriff, who was patient
" awaiting developments. He had
not waited many seconds before he
was appraised Of bruins intentions.
After satisfying herself that the cub
was dead, bruin gave a vicious growl,
snapped her teeth, and made a break
through the brush for the now aston
ished hunter. Then began a race for
life. in which the sheriff never for a
moment lost his presence Of mind. He
knew the long lope Of the bear would
soon run him down, and espying a sap
ling too small for the bear to climb
he gave a bound. caught the lower
branch and swung himself to a place
of safety. For a distance of about 100
wards he had felt the bears hot breath.
Rruin rushed at the tree, but eouIu
not climb it, and, to use the sherin :
words. sat down at the foot OF the
tree and Just rayed." The sherin then
grasped his gun, which he chung 10
