He wondered stili more II Eta were

shield against the evils he endured.
But sometimes when he saw other men
IN the full tide Of manly activity his
heart rose up hotly against the woman
who had bought him to be the slave
OF her caprice.
She was forever taking up things and
dropping them. Thus she came to own
a fever for coaching. In bright, early
autumn weather she planned a long
drive across country. one that would
take at least a month. Merton fell
In with her plan. He knew protest was
idle. And thus in the middle Of his
journey he came to know fully what he
had thrown away.

Then she shook hands with Merton

He found himself catching his breath
as he looked at her. She was less fresh

N. T.. on May 2, 1884, the son Of Ira
and Freedom Sanders. His father was
farmer by vocation. The preliminary
education of Colonel Sanders was se.
cured in the public schools of his ma.
tive state. While under the age of 20,
he had secured employment as .
school teacher.
He removed to Ohio in 1854, where
he taught school and read law, beinS
admitted to the bar at Akron in 1856.
He engaged in the practice of law in
that city and was thus engaged at the
outbreak Of the civil war. His intense
loyalty to the union cause led him to
take an active part, and in 1861 he re.
cruited company Of infantry and a
battery and in Octobe. Of that year
was commissioned as a first lieuten.
ant in the Sxty-fourth Ohio volunteer
infantry.
In 1862, he became acting adjutant
general on the staff of General James
w Forsythe and assisted In the con.
struction of the defenses along the
railroads south of Nashville. His
health became impaired and he was
compelled to resign his military posi-.
ton, and, in August he started on that
long and venturesome trip to the then
territory of Idaho with the view of re-
cuperating his health, little dreaming
that he would in that undeveloped
section build for himself a name which
for integrity, fearlessness and upright
citizenship historians of the state will
find few, if any parallels.
Wilbur F. Sanders arrived in what
is now Montana in September, 1868
and his name has been connected with
almost every momentous public event
from that day to this. There were no
courts or law books in the territory
crime reigned rampant on all sides,
and a serious situation indeed it was
that he faced.
In the fall of 1868, the forbearance
of the better class of citizens was ex.
hausted, and the resistance to this
reign of crime took form in the or.
ganization of vigilance committee.
Wilbur F. Sanders was elected it's first
chairman, and by an unwritten law,
he was made public prosecutor.
Elected to the Senate.
A staunch Republican, he hesitated
not to criticize his party, when he
thought it in the wrong, but when its
principles were believed to be right,
no distance was too far to travel nor
no opportunity overlooked in his ex.
position thereof. None was spared by
his keen tongue if that person trans.
gressed the line between right and
wrong-not even the highest court
in the state, before which he was a
practicing attorney.
Aside from his prosecution of border
ruffians and his duties as chairman
of the vigilante committee, Colonel
Sanders won the hearts of his coun
trymen 6y making an overland tril
to Washington in 1865 in behalf o1
the miners, who sought relief from
the burden of excessive taxation. He
served in the territorial Legislature
from 1S72-187S. He was the Republi
can candidate for delegate in congress
in 1864, 1867, 1880 and 1886. In 1865
he was territorial delegate to the ma

Shipments Coming in, But No Sales
Are Recorded.
Wool continues to come in at a
lively rate. and the local warehouse
now presents busy scene. The bal
ers are getting shipments out with
a rush. so that there is always plenty
of room for more. So far as the mar
ket is concerned, there is nothing do
ing" Not a sale has been recorded
during the past few days, and the talk
of holding a regular market may come
to nothing. The buyers say they are
prepared to make prices at any time.
and the figures will be the same at pri-
vate sale as at competitive bidding,
which would seem to indicate to a
man up tree that the buyers under
stand each other pretty we'll just now.
This is in marked contrast to the
scramble for wool that was INDUCED
in a few weeks ago. The growers
are not worrying at all. They know
what their wool should bring. and if
they do not get that figure here, they
will simply ship the clips to the east
themselves.

OFFER RREWARD
IN QUAY CASE
RANCHERS IN THE VICINITY OF
ROGERS PUT UP A
PURSE.

Rogers, July 1O.-The third search
for the body Of John A. Quay, the
missing Rogers rancher. has so far
proved futile, but the work is still
going on. On Saturday morning last,
despite the threatening state of the
weather, % men gathered at the Quay
ranch and thorough search was be-
gun. Undersheriff Edward Martin
came up from Lewistown, as did
County Attorney Roy E. Ayers. to
render any assistance possible, and
the presence Of these officials was ap-
preciated. There was a wait until
nearly noon for some of the men from
the ranches to arrive. and when all
was in readiness a start was made,
the men forming a line twenty-five
feet apart. They made their way
through the dense underbrush up the
hill near the Quay place. While 60
ing up the hill, bear was scared up,
and bruin made a hasty exit, getting
away in safety.
Reward is Hung UP.
When the party reached the brow
of the hill, halt was called, and the
suggestion made that a reward for
the discovery of the body be offered.
This met with favor, and 500 was
Immediately subscribed, all present
signing their names. The earnestness
Of the ranchers will be understood
when it is said that the very men
reward which they hope some one else
will earn. The agreement made reads:
I'VE, the undersigned, hereby prom
ise to pay the amounts set opposite
our names to any person who will find
the body Of John Quay. who is suppos-
ed to have been murdered last Octo-
ber."
On the return to the Quay house,
no clew was discovered. A well was
dragged without result, and a party
visited canyon west Of the ranch.
| The search here was exceedingly diff
ficult, but nothing was found. 1t is
said by some of the people that the

killed Quay, and who skipped out some
time ago, was absent for a whole day

ed, and this has given rise to a theory
that he may have taken Quay's body
to some sink holes, about Is miles
distant They will be visited, but II
this theory is correct, it would be
! impossible to discover the body.
About the time Quay disappeared
a fire was seen in the Snowies, and
some are inclined to think that the
body may have been taken there and
cremated.

your competitor any chance to get up
with you, much less to get ahead OF
you.
The only way to keep a retail bust.
ness growing is by advertising and
by doing the kind Of advertising that
the nature Of the business demands.
The successful advertising manager
is the one who studies conditions and
builds up the business from a knowl-
edge Of the conditions as they are.
Direct advertising or the kind that
brings immediate returns has price,
for the main topic and now" for the
time to buy and the future business
is given only secondary consideration.
Cumulative advertising goes about get
ting the business in a much more leis.
urely manner. It's object is to create
a desire to "see," to acquaint the pub
lie with the fact that the store is
there and the merchandise carried is
of the very best quality and simply
urges the people to come and see,
while the other kind of advertising
urges the people to come and buy and
that too, today.
No retail store can afford to neglect
either kind of advertising. Only the
one kind of business makes a specially
of one kind of advertising and uses
the other kind as a help. But the
most exclusive shops will find that the
judicious use of prices in their adver.
tising will be very strong help in
getting business.
Very conservative shops may cater
to the few, but the big department
store must minister to all. Increase
in size means increase in variety and
no store can afford to remain cheap
store" always. and If they can sell
cheap goods cheaper they can sell bet
ter goods at proportionately less
figure and by carrying all grades Of
goods the customers who are attracted
by the low prices advertised in the
daily newspapers are soon educated
to buy the more expensive and bet
ter grade of goods.
In this way sometimes a popular
priced department store will have the
bulk of the city's trade in furs, silk
or some of the most expensive articles.
The retail storekeeper who neg.
lects the advertising end Of his bust
ness stands small chance of enlarging
his business, for advertising is next
in importance to buying, and the news
paper advertising man who fails to
study the needs of every store from
whom he gets bsuiness does not only
do his customer great injustice, but
his paper as well.-White's Sayings.

$4,000 HOTEL
FORLEWIST0WN
ALL THE MONEY NEEDED FOR
PROJECT IS NOW IN
SIGHT.

The biggest project for the general
advancement of Lewistown that has
been undertaken in some time is now
being pushed ahead, with every chance
of success. This is the building Of a
large, modern, centrally located ho'
tel, and it may be said that the enter
prise is now in such shape that it Is
almost certain to be carried out with
no unnecessary delay.
Site on Main Street.
When M. L. Woodman and Charles
Mcdonald purchased the May lot, on
Main street. just beyond Fifth avenue,
a short time ago. it was conjectured
that the property had been secured as
a site for a hotel, but the buyers at
that time had no definite object in
view. Since then, the plan Of erecting
a fine hotel on this model site has
been taken up by prominent business
men and institutions. and the money
required has now been subscribed.
$4,000 10 Raised.
It was intended to raise not less
than $4,000 in Lewistown, and the
promoters had an experienced hotel
man in view who was ready to add
s25, 900 of his own money to this, and
then borrow $25,00O additional. which
would give $4,000 for the enterprise
sufficient to erect and furnish a
thoroughly up-to-date hotel. So far the
local subscriptions amount to about
S35, 900, and If no unforeseen hitch oc
ours. the entire amount required viii
soon be in hand.
To be Built This Summer.
It is the intention of the promoters
to start building very soon. and they
expect to have the hotel nearly com
pleted before snow flies. There Is
much to be done to accomplish this
but the hackers of the scheme are al
hustlers. and If anyone can accom-
plish the task they have set before
them, they are the men.
An Imposing Structure.
Further than the general announce
ment that the building is to be
strictly modern one. no details regard
ing it have been given out. AS thu
site has a frontage on Main stree
of 1870 feet. and extends back 20'
feet, the architect will have an oppor
tunity to plan an imposing structure
with the amount of ground and tn
money available.

TO ADVANCE
THE COUNTY
SCOPE OF THE LEWlSTOWN BUS
lNEss MEMS ASSOCIATION
Is BRoADENED.

After many meetings, the members
of the Lewistown Business Mems as
sociation have reached the conclusion
that the present organization is al
together too narrow in it's construction
and too limited in it's membership to
undertake and successfully carry to
completion any plan for the general
good, and at the meeting Monday ev.
ening it was determined to broaden
the scope of the organization.
Friday evening last meeting was
held and a committee proposed GER
tam amendments to the cor institution
which would open the way for lar6-
er membership, but last evening the
members considered the subject more
fully and so amended the committees
recommendation that now every bust
ness man. every professional man, ev
cry clerk, in fact, every citizen, wheth-
er a resident of Lewistown or else
where in Fergus county, who desires
TO become a member and asst in pro-
noting the prosperity Of Lewistown
and Fergus county, is invited to join
the organization.
Membership Fee Reduced.
The membership fee has been re-
duced from $25 to $40 and If the new
blood, which it is hoped to secure,
SO desires it, the association will doubt
less arrange for the payment of this
membership fee in the shape OF a
small amount each month, instead oil
SO down.
Another meeting will be held next
Monday evening at the city hall and
every man in Lewistown or Fergus
county who is willing to join hands in
the effort to boost Lewistown and
Fergus county is invited to come and
enroll himself as a member OF the as.
sociation. The invitation is as broad
as the boundaries of the county can
make it, broader even than the poll
list, for even though you nave been
here but a few weeks, II you are IN
earnest and wish to promote the pros
perity of this section you are wei
come.
The meeting next Monday night
