MANY CHANGES At THE POOR FARM

The county commissioners intend to
erect new poor farm and county hospi-
tai building this fall and are now engage
de in acquiring all the information they
possibly can in regard to the require
ments Of such an institution. 1t is their
intention to make the structure modern
In all of it's details. A site for the pro-
posed building has not been selected, but
1t will probably be little closer to the
city than the present one.
A few weeks ago the commissioners
went to Helena for the express purpose
of examining the architectural design
and interior arrangement of the county
hospital and farm there and returned
greatly enlightened on the requirements
Of such building. w. D. Clark, chair
man of the board. says the Helena struc-
ture is without doubt the most modern
in design in the country and Butte can
afford to pattedn after it. I'VE are now

waiting says he, "for Manager
StueWe to return from the coast in Or
der that we may get from him some in
formation that will aid us in making our
proposed building complete. We wish to
erect our home for the unfortunate with
out the necessity of issuing bonds. We
figure that the saving to the tax payers
of Silver Bow county will be from $500 to
$50 per month after the building is COM
plete, for then we intend to cut off the
extension of assistance to all persons
outside of the farm who are drawing rent
grocery and fuel money from the county.
If these people then want assistance they
can go to the poor farm, as we intend to
build place large enough to accommo-
date them all.'' ~5 tt,

ToDAY'S WOOL SALES.

yesterdays wool sale at Fort
Benton were the largest for
single day in the history Of the
state,' said Archibald Gray. of
the Great Northern. "A total of
1,119,600 pounds was sold, at an
average of a little better than IA
cents. The firm of J. Kosland &
Co. bought $751; 600 pounds. and
jeremiah Williams & Co. 455,600
pounds. The average daily sales
at Great Falls are about 100000
pounds. The great record at
Fort Benton is due to the fact
that the buyers had decided to
but one day at present to that
place, and they went prepared to
buy on short notice. They clean
ed up all the wool on the Benton
market, for the present. and will
now remain at Great Falls until
another lot accumulates at Ben
ton. The highest price paid was
1871 cents, for the Evans Brothers
clip of 10000 pounds.
THE high price was equaled to-
day at Great Falls. nineteen clips
being sold or the market, aggre-
eating 38S.0to pounds. at an aver
age price of l4.36 cents a pound.
The lowest price paid was II cents
for small quantity of inferior
wool. The highest was 15A. the
same as paid at Fort Benton yes
terday.
These prices stamp the Great
Falls all Fort Benton markets as
tn t,n -hy,1r fiIoSc
year. The prices are the best,
and so far, the quantity handled
is the largest" :

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY IS DEAD

In the death of President McKin-
ley this country loses one of its
brightest men, broadest statesmen,
and noblest characters. He was a
man in whom all parties had the ut
most confidence and whom the peo-
pie loved. His private character
was beyond reproach, and all his
public acts were sincere and intend
ed for the best interests of the coun-
try he loved and served. A noble
christian character and kindly, low
ing disposition, endeared him to his
people. A broad and comprehen-
sive insight into the affairs of state,
and lifelong experience in public
affairs, gave him the confidence of
our people. His wonderful success
in dealing with perplexing diplomat
ic questions gained for him the ad-
miration of the public men of all
nations. At all times cool and de-
|liberate, his judgment was sound on
all public questions. His public
policies, carefully carried out, have
brought this country from adversely
to prosperity.
AS time goes on and the history
of this country is chronicled, the
name of William Mckinley will be
set down as that of one of the great
est Presidents of the United States.
President Mckinley was born in
Niles, Ohio, January 80, IS4S, and
died September IA, 1901. He was,
then, little past the middle of his
soth year. At the time of his as
sassination he was in robust health
and seemed in the very prime of
life. He was looking forward to
the day when he should be relieved
from the arduous duties of public
life, and could devote his time to
the loving care of his invalid wife,

When the sad news was flashed
over the wires, Saturday morning,
that the President was dead, the
whole nation shuddered and pail
of sadness settled over the people.
Business was practically suspend
ed, and all conversation was carried
on in subdued tones. The usual
Saturday crowds that gathered in
the city walked aimlessly around
and discussed in bated breath the
terrible calamity that had befallen
the country Genuine sorrow and
regret were depicted on every face,
and the deepest indignation was ex-
pressed toward the cowardly assassin
bv all parties alike, who had robbed
this country of its greatest ruler and
hoblest citizen.
I The town was speedily draped in
mourning. The half-masted and
draped flags and somber crepe were
but the mute tokens of the nations
bitter and heartfelt sorrow.
The people of this whole country
have never before been so shaken
and grieved as they are by the un-
timely death of President Mckinley.
All sections of the country and all
political parties share alike the great
sorrow, and feel equally the calam-
ity that has come to this people.
When President Lincoln was slain
by the assassin's bullet, the country
was rent and torn by civil war and
strife, and bloodshed was of daily
occurrence. When President Gar
field was stricken, the country had
not recovered from the excitement
of bitter party contest; but in the
case of President Mckinley, the
country was in a remarkably quiet
condition, and peace and prosperity
reigned.

OUR NEW PRESIDENT.
Theodore Roosevelt was born

Theodore Roosevelt was born in
New York about 43 years ago.
Born of well-to-do parents, he
had many advantages in youth. He
chose an active, energetic life in
stead of one of luxury and ease.
Full of energy and push, he ha:
forced himself to the front.
Early in life President Roosevelt
secured a good education, and he
has always been a student and &

sworker. Strictly honest and sincere,
she detests fraud and sham under
I any guise. He is a man of convic-
stions and of action. Quick to de-
scide and ready to act, he will &C
scomplish more in given time than
amost men. He is man of decided
/ Scharacter and inexorable will. Per-
sfectly fearless of results, he does
swhat his conscience tells him is
Fright at all times, and does it with
! we'll.
He did not want the nomination
sfor vice-presideht, but consented
flor his party's good.
For his age he has been in public
Fife a long time. He served his
fcountry nobly in Cuba at the head
sof his regiment, during the Spanish
5war. On his return he was elected
governor of the great state of New
York, and filled that place with dis
gtinction and credit. From the gov
Pernor's chair he was elected vice
gpresident, and on the death of Mr..
sMcKinley became President of the
United States.
4 Col. Roosevelt was a tower of
sstrength to the Republican ticket in
Ethe West during the last campaign,
! and now has the respect and conf
1dence of the American people. His
stimely and positive announcement
Ethat he would conduct the affairs Of
government on the Mckinley lines,
egives the people confidence in the
sstability of affairs, and business en-
Sterprises will be pushed as though
nothing unusual had happened.
q President Roosevelt has requested
gthe present cabinet officers to re-
main with him throughout his term.

Mr.. Mckinley went into the army
swhen mere boy as private and
Bserved with distinction throughout
sthe war, coming out as maj jor.
( HE served in Congress fourteen con
Nsecutive years, from 1876 to 1891.
Gle was defeated for reelection to
Congress in 1890 because of jerry
smander of his district by the Demo
acrats. In the fall of 1891 he was
! detected Governor of Ohio and serv-
Fed two terms -four years.. In June
1880 he received the Republican
snomination for President at the St.
sLouis convention, and was elected
sin the fall by an overwhelming ma
sjority, receiving majority of o5 in
Gthe electoral college. In June 1900
The was unanimously renominated
I lar the Republican convention in
philadelphia, and was reelected in
sthe fall by greatly increased ma
sjority, receiving I35 more electoral
svotes than his Democratic opponent.
In 1859 William Mckinley joined
sthe M. E. church, and has always
sllved an earnest christian life. I'M
January 1871 he married Miss Ida
;Saxton, of Canton, o. Two daugh-
sters were born to them, but BOTH
Sdied In infancy.
The beauty and sweetness of the
'late Presidents character was best
shown by his earnest solicitude for
This mother in her declining years,
land in his tender, loving care of his
swife, who has been an invalid
Through great portion of their
married life, a good portion of the
stime in helpless condition. Pres
Edent Mckinley was never so occu-
| pied with official cares as not to feel
"a solicitude for her, and never so
sbusy that her slightest wish could
5not be seen TO. And this noble wife
3has repaid him for his tender care
fby true woman's alteration and
; affection. Her only desire has been
I that the short span of official life
sdue from her Major, as she called
Shim, might speed away and she be
permitted to enjoy her husbands
society in the old home and amidst
sthe familiar scenes of youth.
\ But Just as her fondest hopes are
labout to be realized, the assassin's
bullet blights it all, and gloom and
ssorrow are all that is left of the
sbright anticipations of the future.
SFrail woman that she is, Mrs. Nc
BKinley has borne up bravely under
Sthis crushing blow, and has shown
I a christian courage and fortitudel
zthat was unexpected, in her weak |
aened condition.
The hearts of the people bleed in
their great sympathy for her, and
spray God she may be given strength
eto bear her Affections.
