take especial pains to see that every
building along the streets over which
he will pass is decorated with at least
one flag.
Let us make it so that neither the
president nor the members of his par

without seeing the flag of the nation
waving somewhere to remind them
distinctly that, even ii we are far away

DONOVAN ON GAMBLING.

Attorney General James Donovan,
who spent Sunday in Great Falls, ex
pressed himelf very torcibly in an in
terview concerning his policy in en-
forcing the gambling laws. He said
that ii there was such a thing as en-
forcing the laws of the state of Mon
tata, those covering gambling would
be enforced to the letter, and those
who now entertain any doubt about
the matter may as well disabuse their
minds of any such doubt at once.
Il hear it intimated," said the gen.
eral, that gambling will be but tenn.
porarily suppressed. This is a mis-.
take, and the men who proceed on
that proposition will find themselves
up against it, whether they be private
citizens or officers of the law. If the
people are in favor of gambling, why
did they elect legislature which
would enact laws against it? The leg
islature passed the laws which now
sem SO obnoxious to many, and it Is
my duty to see that they are enforced
This shall do in every instance with
out fear or favor"
Speaking of the nickel-in-the-slo1
machines, Mr.. Donovan said that the
opinion seems to be prevalent that il
a short time the ban upon it will be
raised. In his opinion this little ma
chine is one of the most perniciou.
forms of gambling ever invented
Speaking as one who knows, he ex
planned that during last year over hal
a million dollars had been made b!
the slot machines in Montana alone
much of which was contributed b,
boys and children who were thu
taught the first rudiments of gambling
Mr.. Donovan insists that the slot ma
chimes must go, and at once and for
ever, or as long as the present Law
exists.

Necessity is the mother of invention

Necessity is the mother of invention
a stepmother in this instance, where II
is designed to transgress written
law by subterfuge. Where the nickel
in-the-slot machine has been so EN-
phatically condemned and sat upon
genius has contrived machine
which is warranted to evade the law
and nullify the anti-slot machine act
The device abolishes the slot fea-
ture of the machine, dispensing with
the nickel-in-the-lsot, and arranging
the machine so that cards will turn
when the plunger is pressed. The
player, before pressing the plunger
has to put up rs cents with the CLERK
and then he can press it five times.

LET THE FLAGS WAVE.

A new idea was suggested by a
Spokane man in the Chronicle. He
wodld make Washington known from
the Atlantic to the Pacific by a new
and inspiring name the flag state"
The method suggested is simple and
worth the consideration of the men of
Spokane. Seattle and Tacoma who are
planning to give William Mckinley
such a welcome as is deserved by one
of Americas most successful presi.
dents. This is his plan:
"The president win have wearied OF
the usual signs of welcome by the time
he reaches Spokane. The round Of
speeches, receptions and elaborate en-
tertainments will have become monot
onous. Let us try to do something
that he will remember.
LET us plan to have the old stars
and stripes flying from every house
along his line of march in this state.
Let us hoist the flag on every store
and residence in the cities and towns

AFTER MOLlNELL..

only wish and wish and wish
That could fish and fish and fish;
I'd like to sit the livelong day,
Upon bale of prairie hay,
Down where the river sadly walls,
And fish for suckers and for whales,
IT'S shameful that on this free soil,
A man must toll and toll and toll;
And grunt and swear and strive and
grOan
And burst his martingale and moan !;
Grow old and bald, before his time,
In following the festive dime.
All. life would be festive dream,
If one could sit beside stream,
With rod in hand, at early dawn,
No comrade but his demijohn,
(The latter filed with lemonade)-
To sit there in the drowsy shade
What higher bliss could mortals wish
All. let us go and fish and fish.

The immaculate gall of some appli
cants for pensions is matter of COM
mon knowledge, but the limit in this
respect has apparently been reached
by the application of New York in
mate of the asylum for the criminal
insane who murdered her husband
who was an old soldier. She now
wants to profit by her crime under the
pension laws The lawyer who has
charge of her application says her
claim is good because the law excludes
only the widows of old soldiers who
have committed suicide. Heretofore
the men who have made patriotism q
jest and by word by drawing small
pension for services in the Union
army, while at the same time being
independently wealthy, have been re
garded as representing the most vici
Gus aspect of the pension system, but
they will now have to take back seat
A law which places premium upon
murder must be admitted to be even
a great deal worse than that which
only encourages fraud and greed.

clared proper frauds by the postal

along the line somewhere west of the
Rockies, or thought he had good
grounds for such claim, and the
amount latest squelched by the
court of claims and the supreme
court was something like $64,0OO,000.
Everybody who had heard of "the
days of old and days of gold" has
been Fostering the officials about
these claims until patience seems to
have ceased it's virtuous rule. Just
why the treasury department would
make it a misdemeanor to address
them concerning these mysterious
claims has not yet appeared, but
they are probably tired of it all. Too
bad, the postoffice department should
hasten to the relief of it's old and
time tried friend the treasury depart
ment and stamp the Durkee letter
writer's as fraudulent frauds.

It will be their busy day, counting
nickels and giving in exchange there
for money of larger denomination or
receiving them on deposit. Nearly
every place in the city where sported
the slot machines will have from $40
to $50 in nickels, for which they will
have no use in the ordinary transac-
ton of business. They will probably
all be banked or exchanged.
All gambling of all descriptions
came to an abrupt halt at midnight
and it is said that no attempt will be
made to continue; at least at present.
Those who have played at the games
say that the Great Falls games were
the squarest and fairest ever conduct
ed in any country and the now fear
that the sharper will have a better
chance to get victims in out-of-the-
way rooms and there, under the guise
of gambling, steal their money. Be
this as it may, it is certainly off with
the regular games for the present.

which nature provides for the condi-

This bird is found on the coast, and
the eggs are usually laid ON the bare

ton any ordinary specimen of the egg
would probably roll of.

Three Now Feataees In Traln Service.

Three New Fsatuees In Train Service.
The Queen & Crescent rou e
changed time Sunday, May Is. and
among the many other features to be
Incorporated in the new schedules are
three that will be of considerable in
terest to the travelling public. One
is the Inauguration OF a second train
between Cincinnati and New Orleans
on 24-hour schedule. 1t will be
known as the .Pan-American spec
ial," and will make connection at
Cincinnati with all lines to Buffalo
aud Niagara Falls. The train will
run from New Orleans solid; through
sleepers and dining cars. The north
bound schedule will mark new rec
ord of schedules ia the south, being
cut down to % hours between the
citie- named.
The New o leans and Cincinnati
limited will carry through Pullman
service b, tween New Orleans and
Buffalo without change. The high
class service of this train is already
noted among travellers, and the
through Buffalo sleepers are in keep
ing with The Queen q Crescent policy
of Away, keeping in the front rank.
These through Buffalo sleepers run
from Cincinnati to Buffalo via the Big
Four route.
The third feature in the inaugura-
ton Of the new service is a second
Pullman line to Asheville. The
Queen & Crescent and Southern rail-
way has for several years operated
the only through Pullman line TO this
famous resort from the north and
northwest, leaving Cincinnati each
evening at s p III. The new line will
run from St. Louis and Louisville
over the Southern railway, leaving
St. Louis in the evening and Louis
Vile in the morning. This makes
practically second daily line from
Cincinnati. as the St. Louis-Louis-
vile car is attached to the trains from
Cincinnati at Lexington.
1t is perhaps difficult to find great
er progress in the improvement of
passenger train service on any liue in
the country than has been made on
the Queen IL Crescent route and
Southern railway during the year, in
GLIDING the Inauguration of the re-
ma kably successful Chicago and
Florida special last winter, the Pan
American through sleepers this sum-
mer and the through New Orleans
and Asheville service named above.
