A Country Idyl.

We may beat our swords to ptowshares
And our spears to pruning hooks,
And betake ourselves to farming
In the peaceful country hooks;
But we want them back as weapons
When we find at early dawn
That our neighbours scraggy chickens
Have been scratching up our lawn.

The wedding of f. b. Harvey and
Miss Lillian G.. Cornell last Wednes.
day morning was u pleasant surprise
to the large number of friends of the
young people. The Rev. Albert PfauS
performed the ceremony at the Cor

ly OF the bride being present as wit
nesses. The bride and groom left on
the train an hour after the ceremony
for Helena, Butte and other places in
the state. They will return about the
first Of the month and will be dOmi-
cied in the northern part of town.
There has never been II more popular
young woman i'm LeWiStowu than
Miss Cornell For several years she
has conducted a news depot and fruit
store on Main street and has made
hundreds Of friends ali over the
county. The groom, Johnnie Harvey,
as he is best known, is an exemplary
young man and in every way desery-

First Gun of the County Campaign
Fired at Stdplet0n School
House Saturday Night.
fine SPEECHES WERE MADE
Local Speakers Stir RanChers OF
Rock Greek Bench to fnthuSi-
aSm--CandiddteS Talk.

The first of a series of democratic
meetings to be held in Fergus county
during the campaign was held at
Stapleton school house, two and a half
miles south of Moore, Saturday even
ing. Owing to the fact that the
meeting was inadequately advertised,
the crowd wasn't as large as it would
otherwise have been but the school
building was comfortably filled and
an impetus was given to the cause OF
democracy on the great Rock creek
bench by the speakers who addressed
the voters Saturday night.
B. +. Gordon, central committeeman
for that precinct, was chosen chairman
of the meeting and performed the du-
ties of that positionin apeasing man
ner. The Hon. David Hilger. candidate
for the legislature, was the first
speaker to take the floor and received
warm welcome from all present.
Mr.. Hilger spoke for thirty minutes
and presented the state and national
campaign issues in Il logical and con-
yincing manner. There isnot a better
posted man in the county than Dave
Hilger and when he speaks it is with
the voice of authority.
Roy f. Ayers, who will be the next
county attorney of Fergus county. fol-
lowed Mr.. Hilger with an eloquent
speech on national issues. Roy is a
natural born orator and is always pre-
pared to give his audience something
worth listening to. II. Leonard De-
Kalb who spoke after Ayers had con-
cluded, also made an excellent inn
preston. Mr.. Dekalb is a ready and
fluent speaker and commands the
closest attention from start to finish.
He spoke largely on state issues.
Chairman Gordon then called on the
candidates present for talks. l.. T.
Slater. George Canon. John b. Ritch,
Frank Pick and Frank j. Hazen all
made short talks. and the crowd was
evidently with them. The speech
making was closed with short ad'
dress by Tom Stout, who urged the
support of the entire democratic ticket
and dwelt for short while upon the
harmony which now exists in the
democratic ranks and the bright
chances for success for the national
state and county tickets.
A pleasant feature was the presence
of glee club composed of Misses Vers
Mclean, Lena Newell and Kathleen
Hughes and Tom Stout. Several orig
inal campaign songs were sung, to the
evident pleasure of the crowd.

Unitarian Services,

The Rev. T.. Stanton lIadgin. pas
tor of the First Unitarian church of
Helena, delivered two intensely in
tereSting diScourses i'm Culver'S hall
Sunday morning and evening In
view of the fact that there are but
few people OF the Unitarian belief in
this city, the crowds were satisfac-
tory to those who were instrumental
in having Mr.. lIadgin come to this
city. In the morning he spoke on the
subject, "Fhe Idea of God" and his
address was listened to with great in
terest by all present. In the evening
the subject Of his discourse was ''The
Place of the Bible in Rational Reli-
gion." The subject was handled in a
concise, logical and eloquent manner.
To those who were unfamiliar with
the general form Of the Unitarian be-
lief, it was of especial interest. Mr..
iiadgin is a most scholarly gentleman
and his addresses bespoke depth and
originality of thought, an excellent
| acquaintance with the literatures Of
all times and countries and pro-
found knowledge of the scriptures.
After he had concluded his address
Sunday evening, Unity club was Or
ganized with temporary officers. The
object of the new club shall be Il close
study and discussion of those things
which stand for higher culture and
greater freedom of thought. Mr.
Hadgin left Monday morning after
promising to return to Lewistown at
some future date. While here, he
was the guest of Edgar G.. Worden.

STATE FAIR A SUCCESS.
LARGE Crowds Witness the AttrdC-
tiOns DeSnite Bad Weather.

Helena. Oct. S.-The fair is over and
it can be called Il success in general
way. The weather has been against
the management, for, with the excep-
tion of but one day, it has either been
too cold for comfort or rain has inter-
fered with the program. In spite of
this however, the crowds have been
large and enthusiastic. There has
been not a little dissatisfaction over
the manner in which the races have
been run, more so, in fact, than is
usually the case, for it is to be ex-
pected that there will always be some
disgruntled persons.
The exhibits have been especially
fine, and i'll every department. some
record has been shattered. The show
features. aside from the races. espe-
cially the exhibitions by the Third
cavalry. hasa all been of a high order
and proved big drawing card with
the crowds. The music furnished by
the several bands has been another
feature and added not little to fur
nishing entertainment.
The crowds. while large, consider
ing the weather, have been well hand
led and orderly and no serious acci
dents took place during the week
The protection furnished by the po
lice was splendid, and the local detec.
tive officers were aided greatly by the
presence of Detective Murphy o1

A Challenge.

Society is divided into two hostile
sections or classes, Rich and Poor,
Capitalist and Laborer The material
wants of these classes are diametrically
opposite. The rich classes desire, and
get, through the special privileges
they enjoy, big interest, big profits,
big rent, and as all wealth is the pro-
duct of labor, it follows that the
profits, rent or interest received by
the capitalist is produced by the
toiler. The interest of the working,
producing class, is to get big wages or
prices for the product of their toll and
to decrease the hours of labor in fact
justice demands that the producer re-
ceiye the full product of his toll. and
not paltry sixth, as at present. Both
republican and democratic parties ig-
more this condition and strive to fool
the voters into returning them to
power, so that the Trust Magnates
may continue unmolested in their
robbery of the people. With a sin
cere desire to have more light thrown
on this paramount issue of the cam
paign, ! challenge any republican or
democrat in Fergus county to meet
me in public debate Oh this the .'l.a
Dor Question" The debate to be held
in Lewistown, Gilt Edge or Kendall,
during the last week of October. 1904.
Respectfully,

Recorder. Fergus County, Montana.

Many lewist0wn People Who Saw
the Sights in Helena Came Home
Saturday and Sunday.
GOOD DESPITE the BAD WEATHER
Attractions at the Fair Much Better
Than Ever BetOre--Mdny Races
We're Called off.

| About one hundred LewiStOwn peo-
pie who went to Helena last week to
see the sights at the state fair came
home Saturday and Sunday The
greater number of them came Sunday
on the special train consisting of two
coaches from the Northern Pacific
and an engine. The special train en-
abled the people of this city and
others living along the railroad line
to see all Of the fair and thee enter
prise of the Montana Railroad COM
pany in putting on special train was
appreciated by all who desired to see
the fair out but who did not want to
remain in Helena over Sunday and
then came in on freight.
The general opinion of Fergus
county people who saw the fair is that
it was well worth attending and that
it would have been much greater
success in every particular if the
was exceedingly cold all of the time
and much discomfort was experienced
by all who went out to the grounds.
Despite this handicap, enormous
crowds were out every day and the
men who are at the head of the fair
say it was a financial success. With
such weather as we had week before
last, there would have been several
thousand dollars surplus to the credit
OF the state fair fund.
There was no exhibit from Fergus
county this year but an effort will be
made to have vegetable exhibit from
here at the next fair. 1t is believed
by those who went from here that we
can surpasS any county in the state in
the matter Of vegetables.
