1t had been very quiet evening
with the Gallups. He had read his
newspaper, while she patched a pair
Of his trousers and put new band on
an old shirt and she hadn't mentioned
a word about dying At 8 o'clock he
had just got out of his chair with
grunt, wound up the clock, fastened
the Kitchen door, turned out the lamp
and said they had better go to bed.
and she had followed him without a
word. They had. slept and snored,
and midnight had come. Of a sudden
she sat up in bed and listened. and
after a minute she gave him a poke
with her elbow and exc,ai 1icd:
Samuel Gallup, wake up and bid
your wife goodby forever, for she
hasn't an hour to live."
Mr. Gallup ceased to snore and open
ed one eye, and Mrs. Gallup contin-
ued:
I've bin expectin the summons fur
the last 20 years, and now they've
finally come. I was sound asleep and
dreamin of whitewashin the kitchen
ceilin, when one of our hens uttered
crow and woke me up. You know
what it means. Samuel, when a hen

Mr.. Gallup didn't get I'D. He had
closed his eye and fallen asleep again,
and it took three digs of the elbow TO
arouse him again. He sat up without
asking any questions. She had been

there was no occasion for excitement.
Yes. Samuel; / shall perish between
this and daylight" said Mrs. Gallup,
with considerable satisfaction in her
tie about the funeral. I've had rheu-
matism, neuralgia, back ache, buzzin
in the head, fever, chills. measles, sore
eyes and bunions, and I think de-
serve tolerably long funeral perces-
ion and considerable fuss made over
me. Mrs. Gaines, who never had half
the ailments / have, had SO buggies
and wagons in her purcession, and you
orter do as well by me. l believe you
could skeer up 40 il you bumped
around. Will you hump Samuel-will
you hump to send me to my last restin
place in good shape?"
For answer Mr. Gallup fell back up
on his pillow with a great thud and
snored away to make UP for lost time.
Mrs. Gallup didn't arouse him again.
Having got good start on her favor
lite subject, it made no difference to
her whether he was awake or asleep.

and buggies in the purcession," she
went on as she sat up alone and looked
into the darkness, and l want people
to ask what 1 died of and say that
they are surprised and sorry. You
amt used to funerals, Samuel, like
be, and | want to tell you a few
things. I'll probably perish about
daylight. When I've drawed my last
breath you must so over to Mrs. Car
ter's and knock four times on the door
and call out that I've gone to my re-
ward at last. She'll git right up, and
she'll notify Mrs. Phillips and Mrs.
Bebee and af0rc sunrise they'll take

about the coffin. You won't be too
upset to do that, will you?"

roaned in lis sleep and Mrs. Gallup
took that as an answer to her question
and placidly continued:

HELENA Is ALARMED.

Fever.

Affected BY An Epidemic Of Typhoid
Fever.
Typhoid fever in what may be des.
ignated as epidemic form is prevalent
at Helena, according to reports
brought from there by recent arrivals.
Investigation by the board of health
has demonstrated that about all those
who are affected contracted the dis
ease through the same cause-using
milk obtained from one dairy. An
analysis of the milk sold by the dairy
demonstrated it to contain almost ev-
cry poisonous subject that could be
carried by a liquid body. The dis
covery has caused the Helena newspa-
pers to inaugurate a vigorous cam
pa1gn against the mayor and city
council for their failure to take ad-
vantageof helaw giving them power
to appoint a sanitary inspector under
the law passed by the last legislature
for the inspection of meat and milk
offered for sale for consumption.

BEEF PRICES GOOD.
Extra Weight Makes Up for Apparent
Decline.

Decline.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
G. F.. Ingersoll was in yesterday
from the Bow and Arrow ranch for
the first time since his return from
Chicago, where he went with several
cars of cattle, says the Yellowstone
Journal. He is arranging for another
shipment Of Is cars on the 18th when
it is likely that James Kennedy and
one or two others may have cattle in
the shipment. Speaking of the mar
ket Mr.. Ingersoll considered it very
good, though not equal to last year
at the same time the general excess
OF weight this year over last as a
result of plenty of water and nutriti-
Gus grass made up for the slight
shade in price. Considering the way
in which cattle had been sent in from
the localities where drouth was re-
ported last summer Mr.. Ingersoll
thought beef and mutton had main
tanned a ~flatteringly high figure and
regarded the high price of pork as
an important factor in bringing about
this desirable state of affairs.

It Happened in a Drug Store.

One day last winter a lady came

and wanted to know what cough pre-
paration I could recommend. 1 said
to her hat 1 could freely recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
that she could take a bottle of the
remedy and after giving it a fair trial
If she did not find it worth the money
to bring back the bottle and l would
refund the price paid. In the course
OF a day or two the lady came back
in company with a friend in need Of
a cough medicine and advised her to

Arrival of Printed Bonds Sold By
School Board.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The issue OF bonds recently sold by
the board of education to N. ". Har-
ris & Co. has been printed and the
bonds, IS in number, were received
yesterday by Clerk Whitney for his
signature and. that of the chairman of
the board. Accompanying the bonds
was a blank draft for $35,73S, being
the amour of the principal and prem
lum, as we'll as accrued interest since
the sale was closed. The draft, in
order to make it good at the bank
through which it was issued needed
only the signature of the county treas
urer.
The bonds, or rather the form in
which they are gotten up is out of
the usual order. Instead of the bonds
n coupons being printed on one
sheet, each is on a separate piece of
paper, the two being held together by
a binding something after the maner
OF a book. The form adopted is much
o convenient than the one GUS
tomary employed, besides ~lessening
the danger of m%utiliation of the bonds
themselves.

TRADING is LIGHT.
Bad Weather Temporarily Stops Deals
In Sheep.

In Sheep.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The stormy weather of yesterday
temporarily stopped sheep trading
and only a few sales were reported.
Among those closed were the follow
ing deals: John Stanley to Wiscon-
sin parties, whose names could not
be learned, 1900 wethers; Ben Nc
Donald, TIBET, to A. H. Barth, 1900
wethers. Other transactions were re-
ported, but particulars could not be
obtained and those who usually are
well informed on such matters were
inclined to disbelieve the reports.
The trading of the past week has
sent prices up a good many notches
higher than they were a couple of
weeks ago and sellers are not quite
so anxious to get rid of their sur
plus stock as they have been. Accord
ing to n of the men who have prob
ably bought the largest number of
the many sheep that have been sold
here this fall the lowest at which
lambs can now be obtained is $1.5O,
while wethers are held as high as
So. Even at thes quotations the
in quiry keeps up well, as many who
refused to buy earlier in the season
because they anticipated a decline in
the market are trying to load up be-
fore continued bad weather makes it
difficult and hazardous to drive.

UNDER SPECIAL SECTION.
steen Must Stand Trial On Felony
Charge.

Under a special section Of the penal
code of the state the willful burning
OF hay, grain, grass, fences or other
property Of a similar nature, not the
property of the person burning it, is
made punishable by Imprisonment III
the ~penitentiary for a term of not
less than one or more than ten years
The existence of this section does not
seem to be generally known, as those
who have been following the case of
William Steen, who was arrested early
last month for burning the haystacks
of John V. McVay of Musselshell,
have been laboring under the impress
sion that at the most the only charge
under which the defendant could be
tried al that Of malicious mischief
as the section defining arson contins
10 reference to the crime of which
Steen is accused.
The justice before whom Steen was
arraigned held him to the district court
on the charge of arson and it was
while looking up the law in prepara-
ton of the presentment against Steen
that the county attorney discovered
the special section referred to. The
section in question also covers the
offense of bridge burning, if the
structure destroyed exceeds $50 in
value.
In consequence of this, the infor-
nation which will be filed against the
accused will be brought under section
1862 of the penal code, and if con-
victed Steen will have to go to the
penitentiary instead of being let off
with a mere Jail sentence.

Woman's Club Holds First MEETING
In New Room.

The Woman's club met yesterday
afternoon at their room in the public
library. The attendance was large,
and the programme was an interesting
one. During the business session
three new names were added to the
roll, Mrs. James Mccormick, Mrs.
w. H. Morse and Miss earns,
The ladies composing the first divi-
son with their leader, Mrs. Fl. S. Will
liston, had charge of the programme.
Macbeth" by some regarded as the
greatest treasure of dramatic litera-
ture, was the play studied. The les
son included only the first act and
was preceded by a historical sketch
of the play, and a brief review of the
popular thought of the time by Mrs.
Williston. A synopsis of the minor
scenes was given, and the more in
teresting ones read in full and dis
cused.
Miss Jennie Panton read a pap
on the life of Michael Angelo, which
showed much thought and careful
preparation. She gave an interesting
account of this great sculptor, who
was reared in poverty, discouraged
by his father and prosecuted by his
fellow men, yet Notwithstanding all
he became a man whom kings delight

none stand with covered heads.

CHILD DISAPPEARS.
Mysterious Disappearance Of Little
One Near Columbus.

"yesS''OOo DssoPPCdTdnCS OF Little
One Near Columbus.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
Word reached the city yesterday
morning Of the sudden and mysterious
disappearance of the little son of Mr.,
and Mrs. James Hedges, who reside
on Keiser creek, near Columbus, the
day before.
AS told to The Gazette the child
who is only 8 years of age, was seen
by his mother not over half an hour
before he disappeared. At that time
he was playing in the yard about the
house. When next his mother went
to look for him he was nowhere to
be found. After making search for
him in the immediate neighborhood
without being able to find him, the
parents of the boy gave the alarm and
searching parties at once began to
scour the neighborhood, but without
success, although the search was
kept up the greater part of the night.
William McCreigh, to whom The
Gazette is indebted for the particu-
lars given, said that the country
whereabouts is very rough and brok-
en- and it was thought by those who
had engaged in the search that the
little fellow might have wandered off
into some of the coulees and breaks
and as the night was cold and rainy.
persisted. Others thought it posi-
BILE that he had been carried off and
devoured by some wild animal, al
though no trail of any sort was dis
cernable in the neighborhood of the
house.
The search was resumed yesterday
morning as soon as it became clear
enough to distinguish objects, but at
last accounts nothing had been learn
ed tending to throw light upon the
disappearance of the child.

A OF
Trouble In Great Falls Schools Over
Vaccinatinq.

V~accinating.
Up at Great Falls there is a CLASH
OF authority relative to the matter O
compulsory vaccination of children
attending the public schools. TIL
school board decided to be governed
by the opinion Of the county attor
ney, who has ruled that it must obey
the order of the state board of health
and also the local board, both of which
have issued orders that all children
attending the public schools must be
vaccinated or they will be denied ad.
mission. The parents of one child
demurred to the order and appealed
to the attorney general of the state.
Mr.. Donovan sustained the demurrer
and has written a letter to the school
board in which he says:
complaint has been made to this
office by Mrs. Lizzie R. Wryn of 9O7
Eighth avenue north, Great Falls,
that the school board has adopted
the rule excluding her children from
school unless they have been vacci-
mated. This office rendered an opin-
ion to the county attorney of Missoula
county early in September in which,
after a full investigation of the law,
it came to the conclusion that no
school board or board of health in any
community in this state has authority
to exclude children from the public
schools on refusal Of the parents to
have them vaccinated, and only in
exceptional cases, such as where the
children have been exposed to small
pox or there is an epidemic in the
community, has the local board of
health or the school board any author
ity to make such an order. l
This lady, by process of law, can
compel you to receive her children
into the public school without being
vaccinated under the conditions that
now exist in Great Falls, and, not only
that, she has a right of action against
SSASoA ooA " uollldScS Luz d
rule adopted by you denying her chill
dren the right to the benefit of the
public schools. I will therefore sug-
gest to you that her children be ad-
mitted to the public schools without
delay" ....
The board proposes to abide by the
ruling of the county attorney, despite
the opinion of the attorney general
and will continue to deny admission
to the schools of the city to all chill
who are not vaccinated. The
members feel that if the attorney gen.
eral or the mother of the particular
child in question desires to take the
matter into the courts for the pur-
pose of testing the law or authority
boards of health the courts are
open to them.
