THE AUTO is HEAlTHFUL.
Will Do Away With the Necessity Of
Cleaning Streets.

The automobile as an evangel of
health in municipalities has received
the unqualified Endorsement of DR..
Reynolds. commissioner of health of
the city OF Chicago. The horse is the
valued friend of man, and can never
be dispensed with on the farm. But
so long as he works for a living in
the streets OF Chicago he can not fai'
to be a menace to public health in
the opinion of DR.. Reynolds.
The ho:seless vehicle in its present
stage OF development may leave that
disagrcoahla gasoline TASTE as
Frank Daniels says. but il is not dis
tributer ol microbes. 1t does not
maze wGl, for street sweepers. and
hence will not swell the budgets of
our municipalities. There are six
teen thousand licensed trucks in the
city of New York. Add to these the
thousands of express wagons, de-
livery wagons and unlicensed trucks,
all drawn by horses. and II is easy to
see that the horse. faithful animal
that he is. is largely responsible for
the item in the city budget that calls
for the expenditure of millions fol
street cleaning.
Mr. Thomas A. Edison Is man of
few words. He can seldom be drawn
into interviews regarding his own in
ventions. He has weakness for
terse epigrams, however, and in
speaking of his recently perfected
storage battery for trucks and auto
mobiles, he said: 81 am going to
take the sparrow's breakfast away
from him." q
This describes the effect of the
coming of the automobile with Edi'
sonian terseness. The horse will still
have a place in the world of industry
as mans most valued and faithful
servant, but he will no longer work
for living in the crowded streets oi
the metropolis. and his disappearance
will hasten the coming OF clean, vel
paved streets as well as ideal condi
tioRs OF public health.-Chicago In

A RUINED LIFE.

The defalcation of II. II. Matteson.
cashier of the First National bank of
Great Falls, should be a warning to
young men holding positions of great
esponsibility and trust. His fall was
but the simple story of many another
placed in a like position as to oppor-
tunity and temptation. He held a
good position and was paid a salary
sufficient to meet the needs of his
family and leave him a margin with
which to speculate. He commenced

WILL HAVE A FAIR.

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders OF the Fergus County Agri.
cultural Mineral and Stock associa-
ton. held Tuesday evening. it was
unanimously decided to- hold an ex-
hibition this year. or to state it terse.
ly and yer batCm, TO give a cracker
jack of a fair. An effort will be
made TO get a date in the racing cir
emit so as to guarantee a good string
OF horses here for the exhibition. II
was the sense of the meeting that ow-
ing to the prospects of railroad and
the rapid growth of the county il
would be unwise to abandon the fairs
altogether. after passing the hardest
period in the history of the associa-
ton. That this association has one
oi the finest tracks in the northwest
is acknowledged 6y all horsemen who
have driven over il. and many would
like to come here ii there were rail.
road facilities and fair purses. Big
ger purses will no doubt be offered
this year, improvements will be made
at the grounds and greater interest
taken than at any previous meeting.
This is the feeling now and it should
grow a little warmer until the very
dates of the fair The work should
be inaugurated early, committees ap-
pointed and assigned to certain work
which they will be expected to do
The ladies', who are a great help in
making a successful fair. should be-
come interested at an early date and
commence the work assigned to
them. If everybody. including the
people of the county. offer aid and
encouragement. the fair can be made
a success from every standpoint.
But If no interest is taken and the
work is left to the secretary entirely
failure will be the result. Harmony
and hearty cooperation by the Off
GERS and various committees can pro-
duce a "cracker-jack of a fair" Moth
ing else can.

THE COMING OF PRINCE HENRY.

This government will give Prince
Henry Of Germany a cordial greet
ing, but il the young man expects
any great demonstration he will be
disappointed. The American people
are not built that way. They care
very little for the trappings Of roy
atty True worth and noble deeds
rather than the accident of birth COM
mands their attention and admiration.
But as to recognition of a frienoiy
power through its ambassador extra
ordinary that is quite a different
thing. The long standing friendship
that has existed between this coun-
try and Germany and the fact that so
many of her sors have entered into
and 60 to make up our national life
are more potent reasons for giving
the young prince the glad hand. In
fact there are some good reasons why
the ties of friendship should be
stronger with Germany than with
England. During the civil war Eng
land was treachcrous while Germany
maintained a neutral attitude, while
one who has taken the pains to look
uT the matter in the last census re-
port finds that there are in the Unit
ed States 2,7Oopoo people of German
birth as against 100000 English,
Scotch and Irish. Such a showing
together with the American born. is
ample reason in itself for extending
a most hearty greeting to Prince
Henry upon his first visit to lie
greatest republic on earth.

that this clean bill of health can be
reported at the opening of spring. but
the announcement that smallpox has
made its appearance at Gilt Edge is
sufficient to cause some apprehension
as to its prevalence in Lewistown.
Fifteen cases are reported at the min

cate an epidemic. While most of the
cases are Of a mild form, several are
quite i'll with the disease. Our health
officers should see that rigid Quaran-
tine regulations are enforced to pre-
vent the spreading of the disease.
