Say!

Lewistown is pluming her feathers
over the prospect that she will handle
three million pounds of wool this year,
an increase over 1904 of about thirty
per cent. The Fergus county capital
is right in the middle of prosperity,
and doesn't care who knows it.

Gratifying news for the residents
of Lewistown will be the announce
ment that the Fergus county capital
is to have telegraph service. Here
tofore Lewistown has, in that which
relates to rapid communication with
the outside world, been dependent up
on a single telephone wire. The tel
ephone company that operates be-
tween Great Falls and the metropo-
lis of the Inland Empire has, in ev-
cry particular, served it's patrons
we'll, but, as the trade grows with
Lewistown and the commercial i'm
portance of Lewistown increases, more
rapid and less expensive means OF
speedy communication becomes an
absolute necessity.-Helena Record.

for hundreds of them and it's is ex-
pected that the record will be above

ton of the murderers, and the Naf-
tails duplicated the offer.

The Moral Value of the Telephone.

The recent article in a New York
paper described the use of telephones
in a church in Orange. The trans
mitter was placed in the pulpit di-
rectly in line with the clergyman's
voice, lines from this were carried
to the back of the church so that the
occupants of the pews in the farther
most distance by holding a receiver
to their ear can hear distinctly every
word of the service. This is only a
germ of an idea that will probably
be extensively elaborated. Already
in cases has telephone o n
nection been established between the
church and the bedside of invalids
living at a distance of several miles.
In Paterson a woman too i'll to leave

OPEN SATURDAY EVENING UNTIL 10
FAINTS WHILE
ON THE STAND

Worn by days of rigid cross-exam-
ination by skillful lawyers, Mrs. Agnes
b. Haywood, widow Of the late capi-
talist. Franklin Haywood, collapsed on
the stand in Judge Kerrigan's court
late yesterday afternoon. The hearing
came to an abrupt end without the
formality Of an order for adjournment
and attorneys and court attaches hur-
ried to the stricken woman's assist
anoe.
Mrs Haywood was taken into Judge
Kerrigan's chambers and there, under
the ministrations Of a nurse, who has
been in constant attendance upon her,
she soon revived sufficiently TO be
taken home During the afternoon it
was apparent that Mrs. Haywood was
far from well and once her nurse went
TO the stand and administered a stimu-
liant Mrs. Haywood was unable to
bear the strain, however, and tainted
away.
For days past Mrs. Haywood has been
a witness on her own behalf in the
contest between herself and her adopt
ed daughter, Agnes Maud Haywood,
for homestead on the late residence
Of Franklin Haywood. The daughter
claims the right to the homestead on
the ground that Mrs. Haywood secured
d SStIeuent from ner nuSDdnQ under
articles Of separation. Mrs. Haywood,
however, claims that shortly prior to
her husbands death there was a rec
onciliation between them and that fire.
quently she visited her husband in
secret and he visited her likewise
From the time of the separation Mrs.
AeyWood is being carried along by the
lawyers. They are demanding all of
the facts of the secret meetings, have
produced letters bearing on Mrs Hey
woods relations with her husband and
yesterday they came down TO the hour
of the sudden death of Mr. Haywood.
The story of the death and burial of
Mr.. Haywood seemed to affect Mrs.
Haywood greatly and finally she gave
way.
1t is probable that Mrs Haywood
may be we'll enough TO continue her
testimony this morning, but If not
continuance until she regains her
strength will be ordered.

to seek new fields for their rock.
Several women calling themselves the
hospital committee asked the Finance
Committee to recommend an appropra-
ton of $4,000. They said that tuber-
cular patients were scattered through
out the different wards of the City

dangerfng others. They asserted their

cular patients If the appropriation is
given. They said the experiment has
proven successful in other cities.
