HOME INDUSTRY BoLsTERED
More Home Made Cigars to Be Sold
in the Future.

Il am very much satisfied with the
results of my stay in Great Falls" "
said Luke Kelly, business agent of
the Cigarmakers' international union
of America. before leaving for Butte.
after spending a week with the to-
bacco dealers and consumers, in an
'endeavor to bolster up the trade on
union made cigars and to secure con
yerts to the use of home made cigars.
Upon a thorough investigation of
the cigar trade in this city, l have
learned that in the neighborhood of
100000 is being paid out each year
by the cigar smokers of Great Falls,
the greater portion of which goes out
OF the city for imported cigars, and
only about so per cent of which are
union made goods.
After spending considerable time
with the dealers | have received their
assurances that they would in the
future pay more attention to the sale
of union cigars and would to a GER
tain extent push the home market
article to the front. There is no rea-
son that the number of cigarmakers
employed in this city should not be
doubled Or trebled, and I think that
with the assistance of the dealers
and the union workmen of the city
that instead of $175 being paid out
weekly in wages that amount should
he raised to at least $500 for the
support of % cigarmakers.
"The Montana field has been neg
lected by the Cigarmakers' union and
the result has been very discourag-
ing to the local manufacturer but 1t
is our intention now to keep steady
fight in the state for union cigars and
home industry, and | feel that within
short time a large per cent OF the
money now being sent out of the
state will be allowed to remain in
circulation right here" Leader.

Fatal Accident Near Virginia
CRUSHED BY A HEAVY WAGON
Which He had Been Driving Home

Been Overturned in Crossing a
Narrow Bridge, the Aged Pioneer
Being Caught Under 1t.

Virginia City, Mont, Nov 6.-For-
mer Mayor Henry S. Gilbert of this
city, a pioneer and the builder of one
of the first houses ever erected in
Montana, was found dying, bleeding
and unconscious, under his wagon,
half mile from here, last evening.
Help was summoned as soon as he
was found, but he died within a few
minutes after it arrived. He is sur
vived by wife and IA children
There were Is children in the family,
but one died as the result of an acci-
dental shooting in 1891. Mr.. Gilbert

cided that he had driven too close
to the edge of the bridge in the dark
and had overturned the wagon, which
killed him.

Election day in Kalispeh was
marked by more than the usual num-
ber of drunken and intoxicated men
incident to the day, and while there
were no fights to speak of, the order
maintained was due more to the good
nature of the crowd than the enforce
ment of the law regulating the clos
ing of the saloons on election day.
There wasn't a saloon in the city
that closed it's doors, or whose pro-
prietors had respect enough for the
laws of the land to obey them Every
thing was practically wide open, the
poor bluff at keeping the front door
closed was put up in the majority of
the saloons, but. in some cases even
this farce was done away with and
entrance could be gained directly
from the street.
A visitor from the east, who has
been stopping in Kalispell for a short
time, was standing on the corner of
Main and Second street and noticing
the attempt of thirsty idividual to
get in the front door of Heller's place
he turned to prominent politician
and remarked.
For a western town, the morals
of Kalispell are equal to anything
found in the east Did you observe
the failure of that man to gain an
entrance in that saloon. In this town
at least the law regarding the clos
ing of saloons on election day is
strictly observed"
The politician, with look of min
gled pity and contempt at the others
ignorance, asked him to have drink
and turning about entered the front
door of the Kalispell Liquor & To-
bacco company's place, and, march
ing straight back to the folding doors
pushed them open. revealing a crowd
before the bar, and the bartender
hustling to attend to the wants of the
thirsty The eastern mans face was
a picture of surprise, and he could
only say "Well, well,' until he had
swallowed his poison. and then he
took heart and said, "But this is the

Fitzsimmons With His Mouth a

Butte, Mont, Nov. Cit took Ike
Hayes, the colored heavyweight, just
five rounds and part of the sixth, at
the Grand opera house last night, to
make Thomas Evans absolutely quit.
The giant who claimed he could have
chance against Bob Fitzsimmons,
did nothing less than lay down after
he got enough, and did it as easily
as he possibly could, so that he
would suffer no injuries when he
reached the floor. The contest was
perfect hippodrome.

HAS Fl BATTLESHIP ENGINES
Northern Pacific Concentrates Mo-
tive Power on the Coast

The Northern Pacific has n bat
tleship engines in service on the Ida
ho and coast divisions. The engines
are the largest in the west. The only
practical limit to their power is the
number of cars that can be handled
by single crew. The superiority of
the monster machines over tho old
style engines was exemplified in the
head on collision near Yakima last
summer. A train drawn by battle
ship engine crashed into a doub'
header smashing both the smaller
engines into scrap iron, while the big
engine was not damaged at all except
it's pilot.
1t is necessary to ascend . flight OF
stairs to get into the cab. The boilers
are so big that they were hung over
the drivers instead of between them
The height is that of three men stand
ing on each others shoulders. The
cylinders are double on each side
and are arranged tandem, giving the
class name to the engines, which are
So feet long. The engine crews have
found the machines uncomfortable
and a bulletin has just been posted
cutting down the loads to 900 ions.

suicide yesterday and after linger-
ing for 12 hours in an unconscious
state he died at IL o'clock last night.
The rash act was committed at the
residence of George Robinson, just
north of the track and occurred some
time before noon, the exact time not
being known Mr.. White was alone
at the time and when found by his
wife he was unconscious and re
mained in that state until the end.
1t was impossible to revive him suf-
ficiently to talk and as no one ap-
pears to know anything regarding
his affairs the cause of the suicide
is shrouded in mystery, and unless
some light is thrown on the case at
the inquest the reason will probably
never be known.
Mr.. White was found in shed ;
II o'clock yesterday with a bullet
wound just above his right ear. He
was taken into the house and DR..
Campbell summoned. The wound
was necessarily fatal and nothing
could be done to stay deaths hand.
He fingered the remainder of the day
and almost exactly u hours after he
was found he passed away.
Mr. White was well known in this
city having been resident here for
the past three years. At one time
he was engaged in the real estate
business with J. Miller under the
firm name of Miller & White. This
partnership was dissolved about a
year ago and since at time Mr..
White has spent several months in
Colorado where he was interested in
some mines. He only arrived in Kali
ispell Wednesday night from that
state and killed himself the next
day.
