MONTH.

Helena, April 12.-E. w. King, presi-

THE RUSSIAN CABINET.
Rumors Of Complete Reorganization
in Circulation.

st. Petersburg, April 12.-Rumors
of a complete reorganization of the
cabinet are everywhere current to-
night. Many well informed persons
believe that the fight between Premier
Witte and Interior Minister Durnovo
will result in the retirement of both,
but that no change will take place
until the pending loan negotiations
have been concluded. Finance Minis
ter Shipoff and Minister of Commerce
Federoff also are said to be slated to
go. NJ. Yermoloff, former minister Of
agriculture. who holds extremely lib
eral views, is regarded as the most
likely to be appointed as Count Witte's
successor in the premiership.
In the midst of these sensational re-
ports of complete smash-up of the
Witte cabinet. the RusskOe Gosudar-
stvo, the official organ strikes very
menacing note in remarkable arti-
Gle, entitled "At the Rubicon," laying
the onus of the attempts to prevent
the convocaton of the national parlia-
ment on the revolutionists, and ap-
pealing to the representatives to come
together not as extremists, but in a
SOBER constructive spirit. In this
case, the article says, reforms may be
accomplished. as the parliament will
not be gagged: but the warning is
given that discordant tone will
spoil the music" and lead to the dis
solution of the parliament
The article, averting to the recent
assassination of the governor of Tver
holds that that event constitutes q
justification for repression, mot as
governmental caprice but as hard
necessity"

BOYS WHO USE
CIGARETTES
HOW THEY GET AROUND THE
LAW AND SECURE THE
"MAklNGS.'

There is state law when makes it
1t msdemeanOr for any person to
sell to a minor under IS, cigarettes,
tobacco, cigars, or cigarette papers,
or to give them to such minors De-
spite this, however, there are num-
Der of Juveniles in Lewistown who are
addicted to the cigarette habit. They
have no trouble, apparently, in secur-
ing the 'makings," usually getting an
older boy to make their purchases for
them. Marshal Burke, who has given
the subject some attention, says that
the cigarettcsmoking boys here are
for the most part, lads who aspire to
be tough"
The Tough" Boys.
Whenever boy gets that ambition
says the marshal, he feels the need
of something to help him along. and
the cigarette fills the bill completely
The law really has little or no effect
says the marshal, as these boy can
get around it easily enough, and he be
lieves that the only way to effect a
cure is for the parent to adopt heroic
measures, which include visit to the
woodshed with servicable strap.

Walter j. Hill, who Is to have gen.

Great Northern's lines from Great

day and left this morning for Billings.
Mr.. Hill is going over the entire right
of way between the two cities. and on
the return trip, will come back this
way and make another stop at Lewis
town. To the Argus representative.
who called upon him at the Hoffman
House. this morning, Mr.. Hill stated
that actual construction would begin
in two weeks, and one of the con-
tractors is now going over the line
making final arrangements for com

branch from the main line to Lewis
town. Mr.. Hill said that it could be
considered as an absolute certainty.
The route could not be run just yet.
as there was SO much to do on the
main line, but that the branch was to
be built was settled and disposed of.
Mr.. Hill will arrive at Billings some
time tomorrow morning. He could
get there this evening were it not for
the fact that he wishes to inspect the
right of way carefully, and will there
fore travel slowly.
Mr.. Hill is roughing it and looks like
a hustling young section boss rather
than the son of multi-millionaire and
who is himself in charge of work of
great magnitude and Importance. He
is quiet, unassuming chap, one of
most popular members of the Hill
family, and although a young man, has
been doing things worth while for
some time. Mr.. Hill is travelling in a
20 horsepower Franklin auto, which,
however has been stripped of all fan

and is especially adapted to the rough
work in this section. This car is not
much for looks. but it Can go some On

Hill along at the rate of 60 miles an

trip is his chauffer, G. w. Moore, OF

PROPERTY.

S. w. Gebo is now making arrange
ments for resuming operations at his
Spring Creek coal mines, and in a
very short time, this fine property will
again be putting out fuel on a larger
scale than ever before. The mines
were closed down several weeks ago
because of a disagreement as to the
wages. When Mr.. Gebo got the prop
erty and started to open it in scien-
tific and miner-like fashion, great
deal of dead work was done, and an
agreement was therefore made with
the men to pay them by the day in
stead of by the ton until the property
should be placed in first-class condi-
ton. When that stage was reached,
the term of the agreement for paying
the men by the day had not expired,
and the mine workers official from
StOckett refused to permit the men to
work at ton rate. On this, Mr.. Gebo
promptly closed the mines. The term
and a new one has been entered into
by which the men are to be paid by
the ton.

Paid a Terrible Price

stand in court Mrs. Lizzie Lambert
Walters declared today that love for
her daughter and a desire to educate
her in a fashionable school Led her to
adopt life of shame, which she has
lived since year ago last November.
When the testimony was wrung from
the mother Ruth Walters, the 14-year-
old daughter of the woman, uttered
piercing scream and fell unconscious
to the floor of the courtroom. She had
been ignorant of the life her mother
led. While the girl was being carried
out Mrs. Walters declared to the court
Il have sold my body and soul for
my daughter, and l will be satisfied to
seeh er happy. But rather than to give
her father possession of her l will kill
both him and her. l mean just what
say"
The case was habeas corpus pro-

engineer, and general manager of the

daughter from his wife from whom he
has been separated for several yeras.
