STREET FAIR
IN SEPTEMBER
Dates are Sept. Is to 28th, inClu-
sive--tdoeC0nbe returns from
Butte and Helena

The street fair and carnival Is now
an assured thing for Lewistown, and
the dates have been set for September
25 to 2Sth, inclusive. Four days OF
hilarity and amusement will mark
the festive occasion when Lewistown
will dawn her holiday attire to well
come the thousands Of merrymakers
from every section Of central Montana
Jack Edgecombe, who was sent to
secure attractions for the carnival.
returned to the city last Saturday
evening, from Butte and Helena, and
says that any number Of the finest
attractions desired can be procured In
those cities. Contracts have been
practically closed with the O'Dell
Amusement Co. for a sfkde for life,
high dive, balloon ascension will,
fireworks in evening, and an illumi-
mated parachute drop. The O'Dell Co.
is noted for putting up a first class
performance in every respect and is
much in demand in the larger cities.
Contracts for numerous other at
fractions are now being closed, and
there will be no lack of entertainment.
Work will soon begin on the high
fence which will enclose about ten
acres of solid amusement ground. The
decorated archway, brilliantly illumi-
mated will be located on Fourth avenue
Immediately to the rear of the Day
house. 1t will be magnificent
spectacle.
Upon passing through the gateway
all kinds of amusement places will open
to the pleasure seeker. The midway
will be full of fun from entrance to
exit and will rival its famous pre-
decessor. The general plan of the
grounds will be as previously stated
in the Democrat.
One amusing feature will be the
House of Detention, in which all those
arrested by the carnival polic> must
stand a kangaroo trial. If the offence
is not to serious a mere monetary fine
will be levyed and the proceeds will go
toward the replenishment of the car.
nival treasury.
Voting for the Queen of the carnival
will begin Immediately, and Lewis
town will soon be under the rule Of
the first royal dynasty of central Mon
tana. The reign of Her Majesty will
be amid four days Of pomp and pae-
gentry, which none Of her subjects
can afford to miss.

RIDDlNG CITY OF vAGs

Marion Burke, the vigilant seminal
commendable work of late in ridding
the city of gOodly number of negroes
which have been drifting into the city
in steady stream from the railroad
camps to the east. 1t appears that
the Billings and Northern shipped a
number of this class into the grading
camp of Straw, and thinking there
were openings" in Lewistown, they
broke their contract with the road
and poured into the city.
Without allowing them time to get
a foot hold or to take advantage Of
right after them and gave them to
understand that they were not indis-
pensible to the welfare of Lewistown.
AS a result of the marshaPs activi-
ty all of this undesirable element with
the exception of one have left the city.
This one is also anxious to go but he
gave the marshal hard luck story,
which aroused the officials sympa-
thies. 1t appears that our colored
friend is favored with a very firm
understanding, in fact Lewstown
shoe stores have been unable to fur
nish shoe large enough to inclose
his dusky feet Being nearly bare
footed he ordered a pair of shoes made
to fit and he faithfully promises to
look for pastures anew as soon as
his shoes are finished. The marshal
extended his leave of presence until
tn outfit could be rugged up.

Mrs Dr. |. N. Beatty called to her
final rest, last Friday afternoon
Well I'LL the fatal StrOke-.funeraI
Sunday Afternoon attended by
scores of friends

Seldom have the people Of Lewis
town been more greatly shocked than
last Friday afternoon, when the
knowledge of the death of Mrs. Dr..
l. M. Beatty became general.
Apparently the good lady was en-
JOy1ng the best Of health immediate
ly prior to the sudden and fatal stroke
Of paralysis. She was stricken at
1:1O o'clock p. M, just as the doctor
was leaving the house for his uptown
office, and fingered in an unconscious
state for almost three hours, the ex-
act moment of her death being 4:O5
o'clock She had gone about her us.
ual duties during the morning and to
those about her she was the same
cheerful, happy woman as she ever
was. Not one Of the family had the
slightest premonition of the sadness
which was awaiting them before the
day was ended.
After the lady had ben stricken, ev-
erything possible to relieve her was
done but to no avail. Many friends
and neighbors came in and offered
their assistance, but the stricken wom-
an was beyond all earthly assistance.
Her death cast pail over the entire
city, where she was SO well known
and so universally loved.
The funeral services were held at
l o'clock in the afternoon from the
Methodist Episcopal church, by the
Rev. w. A. Winters The church
had been tastefully decorated by Mes
danes Silloway, Barnes and Kline.
An eloquent and touching sermon was
delivered by Rev. Winters. and many
eyes we're moist. The Odd Fellows
were present in mass and many friends
from every section of the county were
present. The church was crowded to
overflowing and the procession lead
ing to the cemetery was one of the
largest ever seen here.
In Mrs. Beatty the community loses
noble woman and the church a de-
vout Christian. The news of her de-
mise cast sorrow into countless homes,
as the lady was known as a woman
of the most Cody qualities, a kind
mother, an amiable wife and a faith
full friend. These and other admir-
able traits endeared her to hosts of
acquaintances.
Lucy Schryver was born in Erie,
ILL.,, 49 years ago and was reared to
womanhood in that state, receiving
her education and early training in
Erie.
In 1876 she was married to |. M.
Beatty and four years later they re-
moved to Montana, the land of prom

Mr.. Beatty engaged in the ranching

er they removed to Gilt Edge, where
they remained for six years, when
several years were spent in Kirksville,
Mo-, where the husband completed an
osteopathic course. In 1903 they took
up their residence in Lewistown, and
since then have resided here, and their
list of friends has grown with each
new acquaintance.

heating plant is now being installed in
the old school building on the hill,
The system is an up-to-date one and
will be a great improvement, costing
something like $1,400 Other note
worthy improvements have been made
on this building during the past sum-
mer, and the building will be in first
class condition when school opens on
September 4th.
The Evylen street school house is
now waiting the arrival of new
boiler, preparatory to the installation,
Of complete double pipe hot water
heating system. The old heating
plant was not adapted to the build
ing, being of the single pipe variety,
The boilers also were not suited to
the burning of soft coal as fuel. Con-
nections with the city water main
have also been made for heating pur-
poses. The improvements in this res
pect will foot up to $500.
The prolonged delay Of the arrival
Of the complete heating plant is oc-
casfoning some apprehension on the
part Of the trustees, for fear that the

SOME OF TIE
UNf0RTUNATfS
Nearly One Dozen Men Ia County
Bastile Awaiting Trial Before
District Court

There are many prisoners in the
county Jail at this time who VII. some
up for trial at the present term OF
court. None of the men now in GUS
tody are of the dark eyed variety, and
the offenses with which they are
charged are. comparatively speaking,
Of a minor character. Grand larceny
| Is the charge in nearly every instance.
| Among the cases which will come
up for trial, those now held in Gus
tody, the trials of Barney Hedigan
and John Ryan will be followed with
the closest attention, as some startling
developments are apt to occur. Heidi
gan was ordered bound over to the
district court on a charge Of horse
stealing, on complaint of Leslie Nc
Cam. A number of other charges
have also been instituted against him,
among which is the theft of several
head of horses from Mike Rooney on
the Judith. and some other party in
say there are five charges against
him.
John Ryan, wso was arrested as an
accomplice in the Mike Rooney rob-
berry a short time ago, is also being
held for trial, there being four charg-
es against him. The officers are of the
opinion that these two men are MEM
bers of a we'll organized gang Of
horsethieves who have been operating
in the bad lands country and through
out the entire Judith Basin, having
their rendevcNs in the Gilt Edge coun-
try. The coming trials of these two
men are apt to produce some inter-
esting features.
The trial of Rosco brothers, charged
with stealing large number of sheep
will also come up at the present term
Ben Taylor is an important witness in
this case.
George Connoly, who pleaded guilty
before Justice Brassey on a charge Of
larceny, is now in Jail pending trial in
the district court
Miles Gibbons is in the tolls again.
Some time ago he was brought up for
vagrancy and was ordered to leave the
county or pay fine Of $50 He decid-
ed to do the former, but when he got
to Stanford he changed his mind. Ed
Martin brought him in and Miles is
now serving a 25-day sentence in the
county bastile.
Charles Brown is also domiciled in
the stone hotel on the HILL on a charge
of burglary. which is alleged to have
houses in the city.

I Or The
Kitchen

In every branch of industry
nowadays, be it east or west,
north or south, thousands Of dol
lars are spent for labor saving
appliances-means for accom-

least expenditure Of labor. That

part of the population, as Sam

about the average American

it has been case Of any old

wives are awakening to the
fact that labor saving applian-
ces apply to the kitchen as well
as to the department presided
over by the man of the house.
Two of the greatest labor
saving kitchen appliances in use
to-day are sold and guaranteed
by us. We have long tried and
tested them-measured by the
