China Protests.

Toxic Special-It is understood
that China has lodged protest
against Japan. alleging infringement
of Chinese neutrality by the occupa-
tion of Sinmintin. The government
has not indicated its attitude, but it
is expected that the reply will declare
that Japan is bound to respect the
neutrality of North China so long as
Russia does so, but that the presence
of the Russians in occupying Sinmin-
tin created a condition of belligerency
there, and that the operation was
strictly in the nature of a military
necessity for the projection of the
rights and interests of Japan.

JUDITH CLUB
ISORGANIZED
WILL BE LOCATED ON SECOND
FLOOR OF ROBINSON & Al.
LEN BLOCK.

A second meeting of those interest
ed in the formation of a social club
in LewistOwn was held at the coun-
Gil chamber in the city hall Monday
night, when the committees previous
ly appointed reported, and the prelim-
mary organization of the club effected.
1t was decided to secure the upper
floor of the Allen & Robinson block.
on Main street, as home for the
club, and the work of getting it in
readiness for occupancy will be begun
at once.
The committee reported that after
careful consideration. it had chosen
as the name "The Judith Club" for the
organization. All of the reports were
adopted, and the election of nine trus-
tees was taken up. 1t resulted in the
election of the following gentlemen
Mayor w. D. Symmes, David Hilger,
n. J. Littlejohn, l.. w. Eldridge, +. E.
Smith, Rudolf Won Tobel, w. M. Nc
Clean, II. c. Brown and George J.
Bach. AS it was found necessary to
have treasurer to receive the dues,
the election of that onlcer was TAX
en- up, and Gordon o. Shafer was
chosen.
The trustees will proceed with the
preparation of incorpUl alton papers
at once, and when this preliminary
has been disposed of, the permanent
officers will be chosen.
The club starts out under the
brightest auspices. The need OF such
an organization is generally recogniz
ed, not only for the convenience OF
those who have no other place of as
sembling, but for the entertainment
of visitors, who will be very numer'
GUS during the coming summer.
Seventy six have already signed the
membership roll, without any can
vas being made, and it is certain
that membership exceeding one
hundred can be obtained. With such
support. the success of the organic
alton is assured, and it will mean
much for the social life Of Lewistown

DIR. MONAHAN'S GOOD LUCK.
Former lewistown Practitioner Re-
membered by Man He Befriended.

Former Lewistown Practitioner Re-
membered by Man He Befriended.
The Salt Lake Tribune publishes the
following story. which will be read
with interest by the friends of DR.. T.
j. Monahan, who was once engaged
in the practice Of his profession at
Lewistown:
DR.. T. ]. Monahan, whose headquar-
tiers are now at Bingham Junction,
but who formerly practiced in Mon
tana, does not think that human ma
ture is altogether bad. He has al
ways been liberal in mis- estimates
of it, but an occurrence of yesterday,
when he met j. E. FoA, just return
ed from Alaska has elevated his es-
innate of human virtue and he now
thinks it is so fine.
AS stated DR.. Monanan formerly
practiced his profession of medicine
and surgery in Montana. While in
that pursuit he operated on Fox for
an abscess of the lungs and pulled
him through. Fox was impecunious
at the time and gave the doctor the
long finger" finally disappearing
from Montana.
From his story, related by himself
to DR.. Monahan yesterday, he went
to Alaska and secured a claim or two.
and having in mind the gratitude due
the doctor for saving his life, his
claims were located jointly in his own
name and that, of the doctor. Some
years passed and his labors resulted
in the discovery Of good values and
he was made an offer OF 100000 for
the group. He agreed to sell, but as
the claims belong half to the doctor
and half to himself he could not deliv-
er title and the deal f., now pending
for Dr. Monahan's signature to the
necessary documents.
Fox. in his quandary, returned to
Montana, to find DR. Monahan, but
the latter had left and for nearly a
year Fox has been looking for him.

Handed Out to Lewistown Man by
Concert Hall Girl.
After resisting all the wiles of
little Dan Cupid until he had passed
the meridian of life, man known as
J. Pierce, who has been laborer
in Livingston for some years, last
week reached the conclusion that sin.
gle blessedness was not what it was
cracked up to be, and decided to get
married. There were some obstacles
in the way, but Mr.. Pierce thought
ne could easily overcome them. To
begin with. his acquaintance with the
fair sex was extremely limited. In
addition to that, he was no longer gay
young blade-in appearance, at least
and was in no condition to establish
an extended calling list on short
notice. In these circumstances, Mr..
Pierce penned cunningly worded
advertisement addressed to the ladies',
calling for proposals from members
Of the fair sex who were on the look
out for desirable matrimonial alli-
ance. The ad. duly appeared, and was
July answered. The answer-a dainty
perfumed note, informed Mr.. Pierce

tives were alike honorable, and he re.

e satisfied his requirements. so far
as he could Judge. and his offer Of
| marriage was promptly accepted. The
cOurtsnip was a brief one, because
| Mr.. Pierce had lost SO much time
before concluding to take the step
that he had no more to loose in un-
necessary preliminaries, and the we'd
ding was fixed for last Monday night.
The lady, however, had some things
to get-mere trifles-but they cost
money. and Mr.. Pierce was asked if
he could make slight advance say
$25? Would he? Would d duck swim ?
so the lady got the money, and prob
ably in the ensuing days considerably
more. But that was not all. MIR.
Fierce went on with his arrangements
and fitted up coy nest to which he
expected to retire with his bride, and
let the old world wag on as it would.
