Not To Be Outdone.

Oliver Herford once knew woman
much given to boasting of the wealth
of her forebears.
1t appears that no one else ever had
anything that was not completely put
in the shade by the possessions Of this
lady'S ancestors.
One day friend, in referring to the
matter of family silver, had CHANGED
to allude with some pride to unique
silver spoon that for years had been
an heirloom in her family.
s:Oh, my dear!" exclaimed the lady
first referred to, ''if you only could
have laid your eyes on my family sill
yer. It's scattered to the winds now;
but in my grandfather's house silver
was as common as tinware is at pres
ent. DO you know, everything was OF
the best. Even the cuspidors we're OF
solid Silver!'

City Council, in Special Session,
Raises the License From $50 to
$500 Per Year.
II WAS UNANIMOUSLY VOTED
Council of One Mind in the Matter
--OrdinanCe Takes Effect From
This Quarter.

The city council met in special ses-
sion last Tuesday evening and, after
due consideration, unanimously pass
ed an ordinance increasing the city
license of the saloons of LewistOwn
from SIS quarter to SIS quarter.
In other figures, where the saloons
have been paying $50 year to the
city, they must now pay $500, an in
crease of $24O year. There are now
twenty saloons in the city and from
them the city derives only $1,000 a
year. Under the new Uluer of things
the city treasury will be replenished
to the amount of $4,000 a year, pro-
vided all of the saloons now doing
business continue to operate. But as
there are a number of saloons III the
city which are being operated on a
particularly close margin, it is thought
that number of them will be miss
ing when the city treasurer goes af'
ter the SIS for this quarter.
So far as the Democrat is able to
determine, the action of the city coull'
Gil meets with the approval of large
majority of the people of the city who
are not in some way connected with
the business of liquor selling. The sa-
loon men are complaining bitterly but
there appears to be but one thing
for them to do and that is to adjust
themselves to the new order of affairs
The ordinance as passed is as follows:
An ordinance to amend ordinance
No. of the city of Lewistown, en-
titled, can ordinance fixing licenses
to be paid in the town of LeWistoWn
and the penalties of non-payment.'
Be it ordained by the council ol

Shipments of Cattle.

The Montana railroad has been
taxed to it's utmost capacity during
the last week to take care of the un-
usually heavy shipments of cattle and
horses from Lewistown, Moore and
other points along the line. All pre-
vlous records of shipments were brok-
en-, but despite the heavy demand
the railroad took care of the business
in most satisfactory manner. A
double header pulling 19 car loads OF
cattle and three car loads of horses
went out Thursday and on Friday
six car loads of cattle went over the
road from this point. Most of the
cattle were taken to Omaha, only
eight car loads going to the Chicago
market. The following persons have
shipped from this point within the
last five days: N. C. Nelson, cattle,
2 cars. Chicago; r. S. Hamilton, cat
tie, 6 cars. Chicago; G. p. Burnett,
cattle, cars, Omaha; G. H. Kelly, cat
tie, cars, Omaha; Tom Ayers, cat
tie, 2 cars, Omaha; Jim Anderson,
cattle, cars, Omaha; s. j. Harding,
cattle, 1 car, horses, cars, Omaha.
The shipments from Moore have
probably exceeded those from this
city. Several train loads of stock
have gone out from the Rock creek
bench town within the last two or
three weeks. We were unable to get
the name sof those who shipped from
that point. George Eastman, for one,
shipped out two car loads of horses
yesterday morning. The Montana
railroad is getting more and more
popular with stockmen in tbs part
of the country and will have no trou
bic in holding the trade of the splen
did territory which they have open
| ed up.

MUCH GOOD ACCOMPLISHED.
Senator NewlandS Talks Of Recent
Meeting of IRRIGATION Congress.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator New
lands of Nevada has arrived in Wash
ington, having attended the national
irrigation congress at Ell Paso en-
route. He regards the congress as
Jne OF the most important yet held,
and says that it will be fruitful of
results
1T practically settled the contro-
as, and the international contest be-
tween the United States and Mexico
AS to the waters of the Rio Grande
by getting the delegates from New
Mexico, Texas and Mexico into an
agreement as to the location of the
great dam and reservoirs at Elephant
butte, in New Mexico.
1t advocated the repeal Of the des-
ert land act and the Communication
clause Of the homestead act and
recommending in lieu thereof the sale
OF the slumpage, the receipts to go
into one reclamation fund, and the
passage OF a desert act with liberal
provisions as to reclamation. It also
advocated Mr.. Smythe's resolution
favoring the cooperation of the states
with the federal government in the
work Of reclamation. by the organic
alton of irrigation bitches under the
state laws and advice of the United
States reclamation service as to plans
and it's supervision as to construction.
| The union of the federal and stale
forces would thus enable the negota-
ton of bonds by the districts for res
ervoirs and storage purposes.
Il was particularly struck by the
clear expressions made at the con-
gress by the members of the reclama-
tion. forestry and weather services of
the scientific labors
| Il think that the work now being
done by the reclamation service will
do much to instruct us as to the abil-
ity OF the whole people through their
government to do things heretofore re-
garded as exclusively within the do
main OF private enterprises.
THE success of this work will de-
pend as heretofore on the exemption
OF this service from partisan, frac-
tlonal or sectional influences. the
growing favor with which the work
of this service is regarded by the west
is doing much to convince the people
Of the ability Of Uncle Sam to do bus

Perfect Weather Made the Oay One
long to Be Remembered by
lewistown People.
WAS TURKEY FOR EVERYBODY
Happiness and Good Fellowship
Reigned Supreme-- Day of the
Small Boys Glory.

The people of Lewistown never had
an opportunity of observing a more
beautiful Thanksgiving than last
Thursday. The meteorological condi-
tions were as nearly perfect as the
most fastidious could wish. For the
greater part of the day the sun shone
warm from cloudless sky, but there
was just the crispness in the atmos-
phere to cause ones blood to course
along little more rapidly and to
make one really thankful for the priv
ilege of living in such a climate To-
ward night cutting wind came up
and in the evening fur boas and heavy
coats We're brought into requisition,
almost for the first time this fall
Stores and business houses remain
ed open until noon, but in the after
noon everyone seemed to be taking
holiday. While the ladies were Civ
ing the turkey just the correct tint
OF brownness, some of the men, very
few Of course, were around the streets
indulging, occasionally or semi-so, in
seductive Tom and Jerry, claret
punch or some other equally enticing
Thanksgiving concoction of "the man
behind the bar
AS one passed along the street, the
query, Where are you going to eat
Thanksgiving dinner?" was thrown al
him from every side. Everyone seem
ed to be happy and wanted to be
| sure that everyone else was happy in
| the assurance of coming feast. The
homes of the city were opened to
lllose who are homeless, including the
bachelor boys and the bachelor girls
| and those who didn't get in were
treated to extra fine repasts at the
hotel and restaurants.
Merchants say that there was an
extraordinary demand for turkeys this
| Thanksgiving, which indicates that
there we're more turkey dinners than
Usual. No one can sit down to a tur
key dinner with it's accompaniment
Of gravy, cranberires, pumpkin pie and
other accessories too numerous to
mention without being imbued with
4 feeling OF thankfulness-also oi
hclplessness. What elderly person
does not lonS for the stomach Of his
youth and what boy does not glory in
his ability to put down "about every
thing that's ieft?' Ii ever meal is
happy this should be the one.

PRESIDENT IN ST. LOUIS.
Roosevelt and Party to See The Fail
--AnnuaI Message Completed.

ST. Louis, Nov. 26.-Never have
more perfect conditions prevailed
since the opening of the Worlds Fair
than those that marked today, which
was devoted to tour through the
exposition by President Roosevelt, &C.
companied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss
Alice Roosevelt and members of the
presidents party. It was strictly a
day of pleasure, and there was not
the slightest incident to mar the per-
feet enjoyment of the occasion. The
heralded announcement that the ma
tons chief executive would visit the
exposition drew tremendous crowds,
and to guard him from possible dan
ger that might menace him, secret
service men, soldiers and police
guards abounded, but they had COM
paratively little to do in preserving
order. The sentiment seemed to be
unanimous in the minds of the thous-
ands of spectators that President
Roosevelt was the guest of each one,
and each did his best to preserve or
der. Passage ways were cleared and
hindrances quickly removed that ev-
cry moment of the presidents limited
time might be occupied in viewing the
exposition.
This is marvellous, he said
.It is beyond description and eX-
ceeds my fondest expectations. I
have had the best time l ever had in
my life. and | have seen more than
ever expected to see in one days
time"
From 10 in the morning until in
the evening the distinguished visit
ors, following a schedule, hurried
from one building to the next, from
one part of the grounds to another
and overlooked nothing of interest.
From the start to the end Of the
tour Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice
accompanied the president and fa-
tlgue was forgotten in the enjoyment
| of the day.
The first speech of the day was
made in the French pavilion in re-
sponse to the welcome accorded by
Commissioner Gerald.

CHOOSE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
Position in High School Offered to
North Dakota Educator.

The regular meeting of the board
of trustees Of the county high school
was held i'm the Office of Secretary X.
Won TObei last Wednesday afternoon,
the meeting being called for O'Clock.
The most important matter OF buSi-
ness was the discussion Of successor
to Superintendent p. M. Silloway
whose resignation was filed a few
weeks since to take effect at the end
of the fifth month Of the school year.
Applications were examined and the
board finally decided upon Prof. A. G.
Crane, at present superintendent OF
the Minto, N. D., public schools.
Prof. Crane is a graduate of the Carle-
ton college, at Northfield, Minn., and
has had several years experience as a
teacher. He has been offered the
place at a salary OF 81, 600 a year with
the vacation privileges which have
always been extended to Supt. Sillo-
way. The board has not yet been
notified whether or not he will take
the position at the salary offered but
it is more than likely that he will.
Superintendent Silloway stated to
the board that if they desired his col
lection OF birds eggs he would sell
the collection al u nominal price as
he desired it TO remain with the
school. The board accepted the prop
osition OF Supt: SilloWay and pur-
chased the collection, paying 800 for
it, The collection is probably one OF
the most complete in the state and
one Of the best in the west. The
professor has been several years in
making the collection the actual
value Of which is several times what
Prof. SillOway offered 1t to the board
for. A number of bills we're allowed
after which the board adj0nrned.

BUYER is CALLED HOME.
Purchases Half a Million Pounds at
Average of 20 Cents.

f. r. Peters, buyer for the wool
house of Hallowell & oDnald, of Bos-
ton, is in the city from down the line
OF the Great Northern, says the Great
Falls Leader. Mr.. Peters is one of the
most popular wool buyers who make
Montana each year, and during the
past season was one of the men who
went day and night to gather up the
wool clip of northern Montana last
spring.
Mr.. Peters has been in Montana but
a few days and has been called back
to Boston suddenly. His appearance
here was one of the probable reasons
for the dope handed out from Boston
in the misleading statement that ]. B.
Long had sold his wool for 23 cents,
and was probably started with an eye
single to heading off Mr.. Peters from
getting wool below that figure.
During his few days in the state
Peters contracted in Chouteau county
and Valley for half a million pounds
OF wool at 20 cents. c. H. Merrill OF
Benton has contracted for about the
same amount at from 1872 to 10 cents.
AS far as known this has been the
only buying in the state.
Arrived in Great Falls this morning
Mr.. Peters found telegram calling
him out of the field and will leave for
Boston Tuesday. Presumably the rea
son for the abandonment of the Mon
tana field is the tariff revision talk be
ing indulged in quite extensively
through the east at the present time

NEW STORE OPENS.
AaspiCious Start of Wagner & Sutter
and Art Store in New Location.

The formal opening of the jewelry
store of Wagner 6 Sutter and OF the
Art Music store, which will be con-
Quoted by L. 3. Petersen and com
many, was held last Saturday in their
new location in the Wright building
IN lower Main street, and If the large
crowds which filled the place all day
and far into the evening are crl-
terion, both establishments have most
rosseate business futures.
The new store is one OF the most
beautiful in the city and there are
,tw if any of that nature in the state
more artistically arranged. The jew
alry establishment of Wagner & SUIT
Ter has won already an enviable rep
utation all over this part of the coun-
try. Both gentlemen are adopts in
,heir business and this combined with
their genial personalities has made
their store popular one. Their
move to new location was the first
step toward branching out into a
more extensive business and their en-
terprise is deserving of appreciation
They have filled their elegantly ap
pointed store with high grade stock
of jeWelry and clocks. Diamonds
ranging in value from $25 to 5000 are
Kept in stock and every class of jew
elry, silverware and cut glass can be
supplied from their unusually complete
stock. They have their stock display
ed in most effective manner and ir
the evening, particularly, the stOrt
presents brilliant appearance. The
store also includes finely appointed
optical department. which is presided
