Level the Main Street Sidewalks.

Since Main street has been at least
partially graded and the street made
passahle for teams during rainy
weather, the frightful condition of
the sidewalks has become more ap-
parent and should be one of the first
matters to receive attention from the
incoming council. At present the
walks are up and down at angles
which make it difficult for any pedes-
trian and practically prohibitory for
those iniirm or incumbered, or ladies
with baby carriages. At places the

at Others ii il broken down and IT.

which should be remedied ut the ear

tablished and IL would be well to
compel all property owners to build
new sidewalks and In accordance
with the grade. The value OF u stand
is governed by the number of people
who pass the place OF business, and
poor sidewalks on one side certainly

MURDER CASES On TRIAL.
Strong Probability That Both Fisher and
Calder Will Be Given the tx
IRENE Penalty.

James Eli Fisher and James Calder
are both ON trial for their lives at
Fort Benton this week for the muir
der of Farquhar McRae and John
Allen or the Musselshell in September,
1898, the crime for which william
Calder was hanged in Lewistown
last month.
The state is represented by Attorney
General Nolan, County Attorney
Smith Of this county and County
Attorney Pray Of Choteau county,
Mr.. Smith bearing the weight Of the
prosecution on account OF his tamil
iarity with the details of the horrible
crime, although Col. Nolan also as
sisted on the first trials. Fisher Is
defended by W. NJ. Blackford OF Lew
istownand FEE Stranahan OF Helena.
Judge Smith OF the Helena district Is
presiding. Judge DuBOse in the mean
time trying the Kellogg murder case
in Judge Smiths court in Helena.
The crime and the witnesses thereto
are perfectly familiar to our readers.
The CHASTITY exhibits, including all
that remained Of the mel after being
subjected To the flames, were taken
to Benton Monday by Jailer Nichols.
While no news has been received as
to the progress Of the trial, it was
intended to place Fisher on trial first.
Each trial will probably consume
two days and possibly three, this de-
pending on the promptness in secur-
ing n jury.
The River press says that the aged
father OF Fisher has arrived from
Treaty, Indiana, and will attend the
trial Of his SON.
Parties coming to Lewistownfrom
Benton durii z the past week said
there had been considerable talk con-
corning the cases and that the opinion
prevailed that both men would be
found guilty. The better class OF
citizens can have no sympathy for
the pair and especially young Calder,
who assisted In his brothers convic-
ton and now says that he testified
falsely. +. X. 'headle will defend

The enthusiastic reception Of Presl-

GIGGLING IN CHURCH.

a singular story Is recounted in east
en papers. II Is 10 the effect that
down In West Virginia, a short time
ago. two girls and their escorts were
giggliug I'm q church during the ser
vices. and for this they were arrested
and taken before a justice Of the peace.
The case was carefully investigated,
with the result that the learned Judge
found out that the masculine offenders
had been enticed into giggling' by their
fair companions This important fact
established they were promptly re-
leased, while the girls were sentenced
TO pay the costs Of court
II seems that the gay damsels were
habiuualy "giggling in church" and
the ministers had on former occasions
been greatly annoyed by them. He
became so nervous, the record says,
that he could not. finally prepare a
good sermon, nor deliver properly such
stuff as his nervousness would permit
him to compose from which II is evil
dent that the cDndpct Of these two Of
Tenders had far reaching consequences.
Not only was the minister upset by
their "giggling,' when with solemn
bearing he stood in the pulpit but the
vision haunted him when in his seclud-
ga study he was engaged in the deli
cate and trying labor Of making ex-
tracts from ponderous volumes Of SER
mons, and endeayoring to find a text to
fl the selections made,
It was time that this should be
stopped. The minister may possibly
regret that he did not live in the age
OF Calvin when the laws prescribed
penalties for on-attendance at church
and for III behavior during the services
lie got his revenge. however, and in all
probability the two offenders will never
again disturb him with their presence
at his church.
We can have nothing but words OF
censure for the habit Of disturbing re-
llgious services, or other public gather
ings, but as a rule we believe Chris
tiau" minister should privately remon-
strate with offenders Of the class re-
ferred to, rather than have them pun
ished in the courts. In very few cases
would a private talk in the right spirit
fail to bring the desired effect.
