Contractor Sharp Got His Information
Straight.

Billings, March 25.-Contractor C..
II. Sharp of Lincoln, who did much
of the grading work on the Toluca-
Cody branch of the Burlington, and
who has had his outfit at Cody dur
ing the winter, is in the city today
en- route to Oklahoma, where he has
a large. contract with the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe road.
Speaking of Burlington rumors, Mr..
Sharp said he had it straight from
headquarters that nothing will be
done by that road either in Montana
on the proposed Billings-Great Falls
line or the line to Camp kirwin in
Wyoming from Garland, this year.
He has held his outfit at Cody for
some months. thinking that there
would be some building, and was
even told to hold himself in readiness
to begin work at any time, having
refused other contracts in the south,
where there is lots of railroad build
ing, on account of the probability of
work In that section.

An Oratorical Treat at the Opera

The Rev. Joseph F. Nugent adj
dressed a highly appreciatiye aud
ience at Culyer's opera house for two
nights this week. The reverend gen.
tleman is a past master in the art of
Oratory and delivered addresses which
are undoubtedly the most interesting
ever heard by Lewistown audience.
On Monday night he took as his
subject the Philosophy of Ciyiliza-
ton" and on Tuesday. The Lever Of
Archimedes.' He is a gentleman of
deep learning and wide experience
and treated his subject in a manner
which held the entire attention of his
audience from start to finish. Delv-
ing into the musty realms OF classic
lore. in manner which showed his
thorough familiarity with the sub
Ject, he brought to light. for the bene-
fit of his audience, many wise con-
clusions of the ancient philosophers,
and also explained in picturesque Ian
guage how complete was the ciyiliza.

of the present. The Rev. Nugent Is
well and widely known as one of the
most successful OF public speakers
and well deserves that reputation.

Great Falls. April lst.-The best
information obtaineble at the general
Offices of the Montana Central last
night was that Fridays No. 2S train
from the east would arrive in Great
Falls some time this afternoon or
evening.
During the afternoon the snow
blockade near Minot. N. d., was rails
ed and the stalled trains sent for
ward. Ahead OF these trains there is
considerable amount of water. but
they will be able. II is said, to pull
through 1t without much difficulty
and the only effect will be that they
will not be able to make time. For
this reason 1t is staed, there can be
no time. for the arrival here, set.
It is not expected that the Nor.
thern Pacific will be able to get any
trains through on its own line for
week or ten days, and this being the
case, there will be one or more spe-
cial trains over the Great Northern
each day until the Northern Pacific
track Is again open.

the late Cecil Rhodes left a bulk OF

His project embraces every land

pose Is the intellectual betterment OF

Woman's Love

The one thing in this world that
is constant. the one peak that rises
above ALI clouds, the one, window in
which the light forever burns, the
one star that darkness cannot
quench is woman's love. 1t rises to
the greatest heights, 1t sinks to the
lowest depths. 1t forgives the most
cruel injuries. II is perennial Of life
and grows in every climate. Neither
coldness nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty can extinguish 1t. A womans
love is the perfume Of the heart.
This is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought all
miracles of art; that gives us music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on wings Of fire.
A love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life, and stronger than
death.--R. @. Ingersoll. n "a

Ways and Means Committee Agrees
to Report Bill Granting Twenty
Per Cent Reduction.
BEET SUGAR MEN FIGHT
Possibility That Senate Will Amend
the Bill Granting Further Con.
eessions to Islanders.

Washington, March 31.-The ways
and means committee, by a vote of
IL to 5, today ordered favorable re-
port on the Payne bill for a 20 per
cent tariff concession to Cuba. Eight
Republicans voted for the bill.
Two Republicans-Tawney of Min
nesota. and Metcalf Of California
voted against 1t. No amendments on
the reciprocity feature were made,
but by general consent the United
States contract labor laws were in.
cluded with the naturalization and
the exclusion laws as applicable to
Cuba. A series of Democratic amend
ments for general tariff revision were
defeated on strict party votes.
Washington, March 31.-Following
the action of the ways and means
committee in the Cuban reciprocity
bill. the Republican members who op-
pose the bill held a conference in the
committee room Of Representative
VIM. Alden Smith of Michigan. About
80 members were present, represent
ing various states interested in beet
sugar production. No formal action
was taken by the decision in the line
of continuing the contest on the floor
of the house. 1t is expected. however,
that the opposition will be from men,
bers individually, rather than from
compact organization. After the
meeting II was claimed by those pres
ent that about thirty Republicans
would speak and vote against the bill.
The ways and means leaders feel con-
fldent that the bill will pass, probably
by Republican votes. In any event
there is sara to be more than sufici-
ent Democratic support OF the bill to

PENALTY OF DEATH.
Lawyer Albert T. Patrick Was Con-
victed Last Week.

New York, March 26.-Albert T.
Patrick, lawyer. was this evening con-
victed of the murder, on September
13, 1900, of the aged millionaire re-
cluse, VIM. Marsh Rice. The penalty
under the statute is death in the elec-
trio chair.
A scant three hours of deliberation
at the close of the trial, prolonged
for nine weeks, and replete with SEN
sational interest, sufficed to enable
the jury to reach the verdict.
At the close of Recorder COTS
charge, which occupied the morning
session of the court, the jury retired.
This was at 1880 p. m. At 5:55
they notified the officer in charge
that they were ready to return to the
court, rather than more an hour of
the Intervening time having been de-
voted to luncheon.
With grave faces the members of
the jury fled into their places and
some minutes Of painful tension clap
sed while messengers were endeavor-
ing to find the counsel, who had de-
parted, not expecting a verdict for
many hours.
Calm as ever, and with confidence
seemingly mistaken, the prisoner
was escorted into the court room. He
walked rapidly and took his stand
facing the jury with head erect and
hands loosely clasped behind his
back.
At the word guilty" pronounced
by Foreman MacHall in a low tone,
but distinct enough to be heard
throughout the court, not the slight
est change passed over Patrick's s
countenance, and he remained stand
ing in an almost listless attitude
while the customary poll of the jury
was being taken.
A smile of triumph lit up the face
of Assistant District Attorney Os
borne, who hastened from the court
Immediately after Recorder Goff had,
at the request of the prisoners coun.
sci. fixed a week from Monday as the
day on which to pronounce sentence.
A motion will be made for new trial
when the prisoner is arraigned for
sentence.

WHAT FRAME THINKS.
A Letter From East Fork Relating to
School Matters.

n Letter From East Fork Relating to
School Matters
The following letter was received
from A. r. Frame of East Fork last
week too late for publication and as
1t applies to a matter on which there
is now some discussion II is thought
that it might prove interesting to the
public:
Editor Fergus County ARGUS:
Dear Sir: Having been asked about
the school house matter on East Fork
l think little information on that
subject would be in order. All that
l can learn about the matter is sim
ply this: District No. l, of which
Lewistown is headquarters. is rep
resented by a board of trustees who
are all citizens of Lewstown; this
leaves the bolance of the district to
the mercy of those who only wish to
see the city of Lewistown advance,
regardless of the wish and petition
of the outside residents in the dis
trict, which ranges from Lewistown
to the summit of the Snowy noun
tains and is settled with many heavy
tax payers.
/ Unfortunately these many taxpav-
ers have no children and are some
what Indifferent to school matters, al
though there are few very heartily
interested and a petition was present
ed to the trustees of district No. 4
last fall, praying for a school house
to be built near Z. C. Busch's place.
That has never been officially acted
upon, though at this time ! am re-
liably informed that school house
Is to be built near Archie Rogers
ranch, which |. as well as all other
people, am happy to see. But right
here is where our kick comes in. Mr..
Lincoln Lang has two children Of
school age. Mr.. Frank Piper one, and
Mr.. Rich and myself two. This makes
total of eight children not living
more than two miles apart. The
beard says build your school house
and we will furnish you teacher.
In answer to so liberal an offer
would say, after talking with my
neighbors, that the American spirit
OF freedom burns just as strong in
the common East Forkers breast as
il ever burned In any former or pres
ent citizen. The spirit of American
ism is liberty and justice and We all
fail to see wherein there Is any jus
tioe for any board of trustees to ex
pect that after man pays his state
county and school taxes each year to
erect a magnificent school house In
Lewistown, that he should turn to and
erect, for his personal benefit, his
own school house. or be Obliged to
allow his children to grow up unedu
Gated 1t may be that the district Il
short of funds. though they built a
school house at Corbly's last year that
cost a thousand dollars, and taxes
from East Fork comes no easier for
the taxpayer than in any other local
ity. The people are all united here
in wishing TO get proper place to ed
ucate their children IL 1t requires two
or more school houses; the people
however, want them to come right.
