Don't Want to Lose EN-,

Unless there is a change in the
present plans of the Great North
ern Express company, Kalispell will
lose a number of citizens who will
be sadly missed. 1t is understood
that it is the intention of that COM
pany to make the express runs from
Havre to Spokane, and as a conse-
quence many families who now re-
side here will be forced to move to
one or the other of these points.
The express messengers are a jolly
good lot of fellows and any city would
feel the loss. The change will prob
ably be made about the first of the
year.

FRED POWELL AGAIN ARRESTED.
This Time Charged With Having
Stolen SiIverWare.


Fred Powell, the Great Northern
brakeman, who was arrested last
week, and arraigned before Judge
Billings, charged with having stolen
a number of blankets and mattresses
from the wrecked sleeper, at Bolton,
and who was discharged for want of
evidence was again arrested yester-
day and is now awaiting trial in
the county jail
The new charge was brought
against Powell by Detective w. H.
Patterson, of the Great Northern,
who alleges that Powell stole a lot
of silverware, consisting of trays,
forks, spoons and various other arti-
cles from the dining car which was
wrecked at the time that the sleeper
was put out of business. The case
will come come up before Justice
Billings at o'clock today. It is said

THE RUSH ENDED.
Only the Delinquent Taxpayers Now
To Be Looked After.


To Be Looked After.
The rush and heavy work at the
county treasurers officei is about over,
as far as the collecting of taxes is
concerned, and it is now only the de.
linquents who will be looked after
and as the total amount of Delinquent
cies is only a little in excess of $4,000
there will be time enough to catch up
with the work which is always crowd
ed in at the last moment by those
who, knowing that taxes must be
paid, wait until the last day.
The total levy in the city and coun-
ty is about 100000, and of that
amount $10O,459.9s has been paid, and
nearly 2,100 receipts issued during
the past six weeks. Almost SO per
cent of the taxes were collected, the
receipts issued and proper credits
given during that time. But before
all this was done, each taxpayer was
notified of the amount of taxes due
the county.
The Great Northern is the heaviest
taxpayer, having paid into the coun-
tvs strong box almost $4,000. The
Northern Pacific comes next with
about $1,000 Then came the banks,
townsite companies, corporations and
individuals on down the line to the
fellows who simply paid poll tax.
One of the noticeable things in con.
nection with the payment of taxes
this year was that most of the tax
payers came in personally and gave
the payment their personal attention,
whereas in former years hundreds
have had their taxes paid by corpora
tions who held mortgages on the
property. During the past year
most of these mortgages have been
satisfied and as a consequence the
individual have paid his own assess
ment. The county is certainly to
be congratulated upon such a salts
factory condition.

Open the Crossings.
There has been much complaint
during the past week by reason of
the fact that trains have blocked the
street crossings. A few nights ago
the crossing on the east side of the
city was blocked by train almost
an hour and train men gave no heed
to those who were delayed. At last
many endeavored to cross the tracks
by driving west, almost mile, but
met with the same obstruction upon
their arrival there. There is said to
be a petition in circulation which will
be presented to the city council ask
ing for an ordinance which will do
away with this trouble.

Make objects BeautifuL
| One person OF taste will give the
palm to the furniture OF Chippendale;
another will prefer the French style
OF the period OF Louis Quatorze. of
Louis Quinze. or OF the empire; and
there is an immense amount OF furni-
ture, no matter what its style, which
all persons Of taste will agree in pro-
nouncing intolerable, says the Satur-
day Review. But each piece OF furni-
ture, bad. good or Indifferent, has ac-
cldentally aesthetic qualities. which
are quite independent Of Its design,
and which could never be even sug-
gested in any auctioneers catalogue.
They are qualities coming to it-con-
stantly and indefinitely changing
from the way in which lights fall on
1t, from the relation Of its curves and
colors to the other objects that are
near It, and also from the historical or
social suggestions which II conveys.
Some old harpischord. of the meanest
and most awkward design. will give
faded room in which 1t has grown old
a mellowness and beauty which the
most magnificent OF modern instru-
ments would destroy. The unlntended
process of fading will give colors to
walls and carpets which no dyer on
earth could equal. Few objects, MS
works of art, can be uglier than most
modern racing-cups: yet the play OF
light on their silver surfaces and the
streaked mosaic OF reflections that
shine in them will be as exquisite as
II the cups themselves had been mod
eled by Benvenuto Cellini Or. again,
let us take a garden. A garden long
deserted, with the weeds hiding its
walks, with Its rose trees bending to
the earth. and its grass. once closely
shaved, growing long, and tufted. will
often receive from decays effacing
fingers" a charm deeper than any that
was given to it by the care OF dozen
gardeners.
