The Kendall base ball team will give
a dance in that city on the evening
of the 23d of the present month for
the purpose Of raising money with
which to purchase some new uni
forms. They are practicing daily over
in the big camp and promise to repeat
the defeat administered TO Lewistown
on the 9Th of July just any time a
game can be arranged. Some Of the
boys from here may go over to the
dance.
John s.. Morton, of Columbus, o..
accompanied by Ralph Smith, of the
same city, arrived in Lewistown Sat
urday and remained until this morn
ing the guests of J.. l.. Bright and
wife. Mr.. Morton is a well known
capitalist of Columbus and is on his
way to Dawson City. Alaska, where
he has extensive mining interests.
Mr.. Smith is accompanying him on
the trip simply for recreation.
The McDuf ~freighting outfit passed
through this city Thursday afternoon
with the wool clip of VIM. Busch. Of
Edgewater. amounting to about $1,000
pounds of fine wool. The wool was go
ing to Great Falls, as will most of the
wool of that section. Freighters are
demanding one and a half cents for
hauling wool from the bad lands to the
Falls market and some of the largest
woolgrowers are holding out in the
hope of getting a better rate as soon
as the roads get better.
About twice a week some freighter
gets stuck in the mud while attempt
ing to pass along Broadway In front
of the Methodist church. In nearly
every instance he is Obliged to unload
in order to get out. A drain and a
few loads of gravel would make this
place p~assable, probably about two
days work. The street and alley COM
mittee should give this place atten'
tion. At least a sign reading: Bot
tomless, Keek Out should be posted
at the danger point.
In response to a telegram announc-
ing the death of his father, j. b.
Boggs, of Galesburg, Illinois, Harry
Boggs left for that place Monday
morning, hoping to get there In time
for the funeral. The deceased was a
prominent attorney in his native city
and had reached the age of seventy
years. Harry's many friends In Lew
istown sincerely sympalhize with him
in the loss Of his father and hope that
after he has accomplished his sad
mission back to his old home to pay
his last respects to his deceased par
ent, he will return to Lewistown and
continue his residence here.

A Convent in lewistown.

Father j. NJ. Vermaat had the pleas.
ure to announce to his congregation
last Sunday the arrival of the Lew
istown Sisters. This news is receiv.
ed with enthusiasm by the good peo-
pie of Lewistown and Fergus county
Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
The sisters are of the order called
"Handmaids of Jesus" founded in
1881 in Brittany, France. The order
was founded especially for the educa-
ton of the youth, and the members Of
the order receive careful training for
this purpose. They endeavor to form
the mind and the heart of their pu-
pills to virtue. order and industry by
solid instruction and careful educa-
ton. Every endeavor is made to de-
velop their good qualities and render
them useful members of society. 9th.
er good works in which the sisters are
engaged are the care of the sick (they
nurse the sick in their own homes
without regard to creed or national
ity). and the maintenance and educa-
ton of orphans.
The good sisters come to found
their first house in Montana at the
request of Right Reverend j. B. Bron-
del. Catholic Bishop of Montana, who
will solemnly, according to the beau
tiful ceremonies of the Catholic
church for such occasions, install
them On September 18th of this year.
A temporary convent will be erect
ed at once and the community will
consist of six sisters for the present.
The order conducts several houses in
Ireland, England. Belgium. Africa and
Canada. The Lewistown convent will
be known as Mount st. Mary's. The
reverend mother provincial charged TO
found converts of her order in the
United States has already written TO
England and Ireland and France to
recruit the best members of their or
der for the new convent in Lewis
town. al she was very much pleased
with the kindness and generosity OF
the people.
The plan. as outlined % the Argus
by Rev. Nermaat, is a commendable
one. it being the aim to furnish a
home for the young people who may
desire to attend the public schools
of the city and at the same time avail
themselves of the instruction in spec
ial branches to be conducted by the
sisters. and. in addition. provide the
most competent nursing to the sick in
their own homes.

A FORMIDABLE RIFLE.

Ten Miles.

A great advance has been made In
small arms by George T.. Rounds, Of
Plymouth, Mass, which may have a
wonderful important bearing OF the
ornaments of the world and the battles
of the future, for through his suggeS-
ton the range of the modern rifle has
been greatly increased and its penetra-
ton more than doubled.
The result Is a finished rifle OF the
Winchester model of 1895, short. like
the old civil war carbine, but unlike
them it has "a tapcring barrel which APP
