the wreck will be abandoned by both
the owners and underwriters, in which
event it would devolve upon the au-
thorities to remove it.

NEW CHURCH DEDICATED.

June 2S, the day set for the laying of
the corner stone of Bethel Nj. II. church
in course of construction at the Lynn
cemetery, was very beautiful day, and
just fitted for such important occa-
sion. The members of the Helping
Hand society had made ample arrange
ments for the day, and prepared every
thing necessary, and the work of the
day was done in a creditable manner
and to the satisfaction and pleasure of
all present.
Rev. w. c. Hayger, the NJ. Z. pastor
of this community and manager of the
construction work on the new church,
was Oh the grounds early, despite his
crippled condition, caused by being
thrown from his buggy on Monday and
sustaining a broken shoulder, and took
an important part in the exercises of
this day. Rev. DR.. j. w. Gray was
present to manage the important part
of the ceremony, and Rev. Hescott, of
Goodland, and Rev. HIATT, of Banner,
pastors of the district were also present,
and took part in the exercises.
No small feature of the day was the
presence of the Capac band, that arrived
early on the scene and dispersed sweet
music to the delight of the large assem-
blage present. \ song by Miss Wagon
shed, and a recitation by Miss Hazel
Hunter, of Capac, was well received.
The Helping Hand society had several
beautiful articles, which they had made
to dispose of, including a quilt, adver-
Using spread, and great quantity of
aprons, etc, and they luckily secured
the willing services of a first-class
auctioneer to sell them, who disposed
of them in good shape and to the en-
tire satisfaction of the society. Daniel
Cook, of this township was the auction
eer. The Helping Hand society served
meals on the tables laid under the trees
on the farm of Fred Leach. They also
served ice cream and strawberries and
took in 800 as receipts for the day.
About 300 people enjoyed the exercises
of the occasion and voted the event a
grand success. Munson Hosner bought
the quilt and presented it to Mr.. and
Mrs. w. c. Harger. Andrew Ostrander
bought the fine advertising spread.
The work on this spread was executed
by his sister, Mrs. A. A. Patch.

BREWERY IS

CURE AN OPTION ON
THE PROPERTY.

A very important business deal was
closed up at the end of last week, by
which G. w. Hecker and some assoc
iates. of Minot, North Dakota, secured
an option of the Lewistown brewery
and the purchase is considered as good
as made, for Mr.. Hecker Immediately

when the purchase will be completed
Will Enlarge Plant.
The price agreed upon is not stated,
but it was good figure, and John
HOgl, the present owner, will retain
a one tenth interest in the business.
Mr.. Hecker is an expert brewery man.
and intends to completely remodel
and greatly enlarge the plant. He will
install an artificial ice plant, and add
an extensive bOttling department to
the brewery. Mr.. Hecker and his as
sociates say that the best beer made
in the entire state can be produced
here owing to the fine water supply,
and other favorable conditions, not to
be found in combination elsewhere
It is the design of the new men To
supply central Montana with its beer
and their plans will be carried out on
an extensive scale, calling for the ex.
penditure of large sum of money, in
addition to the purchase price. The
deal was made through the Lewistown

CHAN AGAINST SLATER.
Reversal by Supreme Court in Fergus
County Case.

Reversal by Supreme Court in Fergus
County Case.
Helena, Oct. 30-The supreme court
today in an opinion by Chief JUS
tice Brantly, reversed the findings of
the district court for Fergus county
and remanded for a new trial the
case of Katherine Chan against l..
P. Slater, sheriff. The action was one
of claim and recovery, the plaintiff
averring that the defendant had wrong
full possession Of her personal belong
ings to the amount of $3.50. She re-
covered judgment in the lower court,
and from an order denying a motion
for new trial, apepal was taken by
the sheriff, with the above result.
The supreme court holds that the
contention of the defendant that the
complaint does not allege any right
to the possession of the property at
the commencement of the action is a
just criticism. The inference gained
is that the supreme court believes the
title of the plaintiff to the property
was assumed for the purpose of pro.
tecting her husbands property against
the just claims of his creditors, and
that the instructions of the court com.
planned of were upon an issue not in
volved in the case and were there
fore immaterial.

LincOln. Neb., Oct. 30.-Governor
John H. Mickey. at the annual carni-

Nebraska yesterday took a long step
toward winning the title of local cham

a score of 20 to 8 he defeated Judge
William G. Hastings, fusion candidate
for justice of the supreme court, Five
points of Governor Mickey's twenty
were scored by a beautiful ringer
shortly before the contest closed.
Judge Hastings was the first to score,
but was apparently nervous and did
not throw with confidence. The car
nival was given for the benefit of

Few of those who were the early
comers to Lewistown We're blessed
with a plethora of worldly treasures
We were all young people depending
upon the vigor of youth to develop
the splendid but virgin resources of
this new country.
Every public enterprise had to be
fostered by subscription, and the drain
was often severely felt by the strug
Cling subscriber, but the community
was always liberal as well as pro-
gressive.
Among the most laudable of our
public undertakings was the estab
fishing of library.

not be out of place at this time and

The first impetus given the project

event, and the exercises passed OF
without a hitch, and proved to be ex-

the fact that to Andrew Carnegie

Influence Of the Library.
1t is hard to estimate the influence
of the public library of today.
In all ages and at all times the col
lection of books and their freedom to
the student and to the public for re-
search and for pleasure have been
recognized as among the most valu-
able of human institutions.
This is shown by the undoubted evi.
dence we have of the collection to-
gether of libraries when the records
were kept on tablets of stone, primar-
lily as pictures which illustrated in
rude form the ideas intended to be
conveyed, and secondly. when the
rude illustrations had given way to
characters and signs, eventually evo
luted into the written characters rep
resenting the alphabet, and which
were at first engraved on bricks and
tiles. by the Assyrians. Babylonians
and Egyptians.
These were followed in due course
by the records kept on papyrus, by the
Egyptians.
The first library, properly so called,
of which we have definite knowledge,
was formed by the Egyptian king Os-
ymandyas. The existence of this es-

Carnegie Forgives Eloping Nice,


New York. Oct. 30.-Substantial
proof that Andrew Carnegie has for,
given his niece, Miss Nancy Carne-
gle, for marrying James Hever, a
coachman, came today with the an.
nouncement that the ironmaster has
purchased for the young couple the
Silas Albertson farm of 7S acres at
Roslyn, l.. l.
The birth of girl paved the way
to Andrew Carnegie's forgiveness
The newly purchased farm is in 10
cality where are the homes of many
notable society folk. The selection
of the site is taken to mean that Mrs
Hever may make an effort to return
to the social circles from which her
marriage excluded her.
Hever was formerly groom for
Nansy Carnegie's mother. He fire.
quently attended Mrs. Carnegie. The
young couple went to Europe after
wedding secretly. Hever was a wild
over with two children at the time
of the marriage. The girl was born
last April.
