us Treatment and Careful Attention

Educators of Montana are agreed
| that the truancy problem is a serious
one as regards the future of hundreds
of the rising generation, and the pass
age of laws that will deal with the
young offenders who will not go to
school is urgently advocated. A paper
upon the subject entitled "The Tru-
ancy Problem that was written by
Superintendent II. G. Young, of Butte,
has been printed by the department of
pamphlet is being extensively circu-
| lated.
A systematic effort is to be made by
the National American Women Stuff
rage association to bring Montana in
to line with Wyoming, Colorado, Utah
and Idaho as an equal suffrage state.
In furtherance of this purpose three
representatives of the association are
now in Montana-Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait. the president of the associa-
ton, Miss Gail Laughlin, the national
organizer, and Miss Laura Gregg,
end of the campaign which is to be in
augurated.
There has been more or less talk the
past two years concerning the Cree In
dians, natives of Canada, who have
made their home in Montana for some
six or eight years. 1t is probable that
the government may soon take action
toward deporting the Cree Indians
from Montana to their home across the
Canadian border. A rumor to that
effect has been in circulation for the
past few days and, according to the
story told, the troops at Fort Assinni-
bone will be used to do the rounding
up of the vagrant scavangers.
Recent advices from Washington an
| nouce the postponment of the st. Louis
exposition to a date at least twelve
months later than the day originally
named for the opening of the big show.
1t is promised that the opening of the
st. Louis exposition shall be an event
| worth waiting for. Its projectors de-
| clare that it shall be the biggest thing
of it's kind in history-the largest in
size, the most costly in construction,
and the most complete in Its exhibits
from all parts of the world. The mag
nitude and variety of it's attractions
promise to eclipse all previous effort in
this line.
AT Merrill, a siding between Column
bus and Big Timber, George Vogelan-
der, fireman on a local freight, was
instantly killed last Friday. The
local was picking up car on a spur
track and Vogelander was leaning out
| between the cab and the tender watch
ing for signal from the brakeman.
His back was turned toward the front
of the engine as it approached the
stock yards. The gate of the chute
struck him and he fell to the ground
between the chute and the engine.
The first car behind the engine passed
over his neck almost severing the head
from the body.

national mining congress will convene
in the city of Butte, state of Montana,
at 10 O'Clock a. M, Monday, Septem-
Der /, 1902, and continue thereafter

success and influential effect of the
four preceding assemblies, together
I with The wonderful expansion of the
mining industry during, the years 1898,
1890, 1900 and 1901 and the special i'm
| portance of the subjects to be discussed
and passed upon, will, beyond all
question, bring together a large dele
| cation of earnest, we'll informed, think
ing men, insuring for the congress a
| most instructive aud successful session.
