One Nearly Results Seriously for
Little Girl.
ANTwo runaways occurred yesterday
afternoon. Although neither was re-
s,lltant O. very much damage, n
came very near ending in a fatality.
\ buggy team standing in front of the
Yellowstone mills took a notion to
make a dash west in Montana avenue
When at the corner of Twenty-seventh
street one of the horses attempted to
turn to the north, while the other
wanted to go west. This pulled them
onto the sidewalk and in front of the
First National bank one of the animals
fell and was dragged some distance.
The little daughter of F. B. Connolly
was standing IN the sidewalk in front
of Holmes & Rixon's store, too badly
frightened to move and directly in
the path Of the horses. Fortunately
Chief Of Police Morse stood near, and
realizing the child's peril made a
hasty run toward her and succeeded
in pulling her out of danger, just as
the horses dashed over the spot on
which she had been standing only an
instant before. AS it was, the frantic
animals brushed by both within a few
inches.
The other runaway was a single
horse, hitched to a buggy, which was
seen coming up North Twenty-seventh
| street. At the corner of First avenue
it turned westward and fell, stripping
itself of the harness and continued
it's flight until caught.

SAME AS IN BILLINGS.
Great Falls Wool Being Bought at
Private Sale.

1t is very evident that about the
same conditions obtaining on the local
wool market prevail at Great Falls.
The. buying there has been brisk thus
far and but little of the staple will
remain unsold when the regular mar
ket opens. In this connection the
Tribune has the following:
The wool situation yesterday in
Great Falls was featureless. All OF
the buyers were out Of the city in
quest of desirable ~leeces, and no wool
was received at the big warehouse.
The purchases of the past week, all
of them having been made for wool
on the sleeps back, being purely
speculative, it is hard to discern what
has been the incentive for so much
heavy advance buying,
Wool is not worth today what Is
being paid for it," remarked a buyer
for q we'll known wool house to The
Tribune yesterday, "and nearly all
that has been bought thus far viii
remain in the eastern warehouses I'm
til late next fall waiting for an ad
vance in price. The market here
when it opens, will offer very little ex
cept clips of inferior grade, which
the buyers in their trips through the
country have refused. OF course
there will be a large number of small,
clips, which will bring the top price
but big prices on the market may not
be expected for the reason that nearly
all of the finer wool has already beer
sold, or will be before the marke'
opens"
No sales were reported here yester
day.

A second crew has been added to
the civil engineers operating on the
Crow reservation under the directions
Of the reclamation bureau. The addi-

and preparations are making for still
another. Because of the limit Of time
placed by the law opening the reserva-
ton in which the land may be reclaim
ed by the government the preliminary
work is being rushed with all possible
speed.
Contrary to expectations, Chief
Newell Of the reclamation service will
not visit Billings at this time. He
was expected a few days ago, but sent
word that press of other matters made
it impossible to keep his engagement.

Stockton, in charge of the work the
department is doing on the Crow res
ervation, were in town to meet him
when the notice of his changed plans
was received.

sick of Inflammation Of the stomach.

ady from which she is now suffering.
A turn tor the peter followed and
her recovery seemed assured, when
she had a relapse and is now again
confined to her bed.

little business offered itself for tran
saction. The matter of a site for the
proposed First ward school was dis

came known that the board is in the

way of the canal along the banks of which
many species of birds were noted This

an interesting botanical field, and several
of the party took advantage of the oppor-
tunity offered to extend their knowledge of
flowers as well as of birds. The main in
terest, however, centered in the bird life
of the region and number of those attend
ing made long lists of the different species
seen or heard during the day. The little
indigo bunting, dark-blue finch, that is
one of the late-arriving summer residents,
attracted much attention from those who
had never before made its acquaintance,
and the bright-colored migrants on their
way to their northern homes were always
objects of interest.

ADDRESSES STREET THRoNa.
Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin's Discourse
From the Gospel Wagon Yesterday.

The open air sermon from the gospel
wagon of the Central Union Mission at
Market space was preached yesterday
evening by Rev. Teunis 8. Hamlin. pastor
of the Church OF the Covenant. Despite
the threatening weather there was large
audience to hear the prominent Presbyter-
ian devine, almost every walk of life be-
ing represented. Not only were there
men, women and children, both white and
colored, from the streets present, but there
were many men of affairs and women from
high social circles who listened to the dis
course.
The tenth chapter of the gospel accord
ing to Luke was DR.. Hamlins text, the
theme was mems anxiety for power. He
illustrated his idea of the difference be-
tween authority and power by examples
from the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States, saying that
there were very few men in these bodies
who are always listened to when delivering
addresses.
There was something in these men, he
said, called power. put there by God, giving
Christ he said, was not vested with any
authority from the rulers of the earth, yet
He had this power. so that when He began
to speak people 1ocked about Him, saying
He was sent from God. He said all men
were seeking power of some kind and took
occasion to differentiate between temporal
and spiritual power. The latter kind was
the kind he wished his hearers to strive to
obtain. This power. he said. would bring
persons In touch and communion with God
and be the means of their salvation.
Itinerant preachers who often carry on
opposition services in Market space Sum
day evenings were not present yesterday.

Surprise and disappointment Will Dc

the Colonial Beach municipal election,

slant recurrence to the ideals for which 1t
was created, and for which hundreds of
thousands of men gave the last full meas
ure of devotion.
1.-The only real foundation upon which
our greatness rests, and upon which 1T can
continue to grow, is the constant recollec-
ton of these ideals and the sacredness In
which they were held by the men whose
graves we decorate.
ITO give honor to them is far more than
deserve. 1t has object higher even
than this. 1t is to consecrate the American
idea in the hearts of the people, to keep
the present generation true to the principles
for which those men died, and to ineradi-
cably impress on the generation growing up
those ideals, a rigid adherence to which Is
absolutely necessary to our greatness.
+. therefore, 1t is the first of civic duties
for US to throw everything aside and unite
in paying the highest honors on Memorial
day to the men who represented the most
exalted Americanism.
THE more earnest and united we are in
doing this and the more impressively and
permanently We can stamp this upon the
minds of all men, the greater safeguard
we shall erect, that a government Of the
people, for the people, and by the people,
shall not perish from the earth.
Nothing should be allowed to interfere
with US in joining with our families in
the performance of this exalted privilege"

MISS YoUNG's PUPILS.
The President Attended Their Recital
Saturday Afternoon,

The recital of the pupils of Miss Marie
Grice Young was distinguished from that
of other pupils recitals because she had in
the audience, which was large, notwith-
standing the storm Saturday afternoon the
President of the United States, and among
the participants in her program she had
two of the Roosevelt children-Miss Ethel
and Master Archibald. The recital took
place at the Washington Club. and was
quite interesting aside from the facts above
mentioned. Miss Ethel Roosevelt played
the first movement of Beethoven's Soma
tine, and Master Archibald played Schu-
mann's "The Happy Farmer" Both gave
evidence in their work of conscientious
study and practice The other participants
in the program were: Misses Anderson,
Faith Davis. Agnes Trowbridge, Katharine
Poole, Louis Cole. Mary Watkins, Eleanor
Anderson, Martha Poole, Ethel Trowbridge,
Leola Pratt, Dorothy Hayden, Mary Pugh,
Louise Chalmers. The President remained
through more than half the program and
evidently enjoyed the efforts of the young
people, particularly those of his own chill
dren. Mrs. Wilson Young assisted the
pupils with several songs, among them Won

bers did not return to the city until late in
the evening.
The attorneys cast aside legal problems
for time and became more conversant
