Shower Party.

In honor of the approaching
marriage of Miss Bessie Moore
Miss Fahne Deur entertained a
company of young friends at the
home of Mr. and Mrs j Deur on
Third street. The guests were
received upon the lawn which was
in gala attire, with electric lights,
flowers, hammocks and cushion
lined cosy corners. About thirty
maids and young matrons added
the attraction OF their presence,
aud chatted gaily, giving the pro-
spective bride all sorts of lmpos-
sible advice and lock coincidence
until about ten clock, then Miss
Moore was inveigled into the
house where the older ladies sat
chatting. AS she came out few
moments later she was literally
submerged in shower of hand
kerchiefa, thrown upon her by her
girl friends Theae ranged from
the daiptiest pieces of hand work
to au enormous bandana. The
laughter had scarcely subsidized
when about thirty of the sterner
sex put in their appearance and
taen matters grew even more live
ly than before. Refreshments
were served on the lawn upon
small tables, Misses Nell Rourke,
Bessie O'Connor, Mabel Wilson
and Josephine johnson assisted
in dispensing the refreshments.
The usual happy informal hour
was spent and the guests departed
at midnight to be always richer
for the evenings pleasure.

the house is to be kept or changed
for two years, Grover Cleveland has
thrown his forceful personality into
the fight, the democrats are more
united than they have been in de-
cade, both parties have excellent
candidates for governor, but
No one cares. The registration in
this city is $4,000 behind what 1T
ought to be. Thousands of men are
laying plans to go hunting or blcy-
cling on election day.
The fact is, New York demands
that politics, like everything else, be
made dramatic; if it isn't, the city
refuses to be interested. Last year
people by tens of thousands howled
themselves black in the face over
Jerome's marvellous campaign for
district attorney, and elected him IN
the very stronghold of Tammany
Hall. This year Jerome might speak
to beggarly audiences if he cared to
do so. The coal strike was the one
dramatic contest that held the lime
light and the center of the stage all
through October. MolineuX, once
convicted of a murder committed
four years ago and hero of the most
dramatic story of crime ever told in
a New York court room, is up for
trial again And again no one cares.
New murders occur with the average
frequency; some are rich in such
CORY details as New York loves. NO
one cares. What people do want to
know is how much it is going to cost
them to buy their winters coal?
In day or two we shall know New
York's verdict-or what passes for 1T
upon what are called the tissues
of the day" 1t will be a Judgment
listlessly passed by default by bare
quorum at the polls.

SEARCH FOR LOST MAN.
superintendent EGan, of the Great
Great Northern Road, Is Missing
in WiIds of Montana.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 1O.-Superin-
tendent E. f. Egan, of the G1eSt
Northern railroad, who went hunting
at Bolton, Mont, on Tuesday, has dis
appeared. Officials of the Great
Northern railroad are alarmed, and
President James J. Hill has directed
that 100 men be sent into the adioin-
ing country to search for the missing
man. Superintendent Egan's private
car was sidetracked at Bolton Tuesday
afternoon. With him was party of
five friends They started out to hunt
big game. The country abounds in
bear and mountain lions, and it is
feared he may have been overcome by
one or more of these beasts.
A telegram from Kalispeu, received
bv Great Northern officials. saws that
it is not improba BILE that Superintend-
ent Egan encountered the bandit who
held up the Great Northern train near
Drummond last week and robbed it
of several thousand dollars. and that
the robber, thinking posse was after
him. NAV have killed the superintend-
ent.
The so men sent out Thursday morn
ing returned Friday afternoon report
ing that they had obtained no trace of
the missing man. Thereupon Pres
ident Hill ordered out all the availa BILE
men on the Kalispell division to hunt
for him.
A heavy snowstorm set in after the
party started on the hunt, obliterat-
ing all trails. and for this reason no
trace of Egan can be found His pri-
yate car is still standing on the side
track at Bolton, where his five guests
are awaiting tidings of the lost man.
At Great Northern headquarters in
st. Paul it is believed he has persisted.
Another party left Columbia Falls
Sunday morning for Hungry Horse
creek and will be out several days.
1t is now almost impossible to get
through the country, except on snow
shoes and parties who have gone into
the South Fork country have been
compelled to use them. The return
of two parties now out is anxiOusly
awaited. One went up to the cabin
on Pyramid peak and another into
the South Fork country. 1t will be
at least three days before they can
make their report. DR.. Houston
spent part of the day here, returning
to Bolton Sunday night. He has
given up all hope of Egan being alive.
