days ago announced that Mrs. Mary
A. Sloane, well known Lewistown
lady, had met with an accident at
Rochester New York, while she was
on her way to her old home in that
state for visit. It appears that while
on the car platform, she slipped in
some way and fell to the ground. The
first telegram received did not give
very definite statement as to the
extent Of her injuries, and her daugh-
tiers, Mrs. J. D. Waite and Mrs. Frank
E. Wright, left the following morning
for Rochester. At Lombard another
telegram was received by them stat
ing that Mrs. Sloane's injuries consist.
ed Of a broken rib, a sprained wrist
and some minor bruises. With this
assurance that her condition was in
no wise serious, Mrs Waite returned
to this city, while Mrs. Wright con.
tinued her journey to Rochester. Mr..
Wright yesterday received a message
from Rochester, stating that the pa
tient was getting along all right. her
injuries not being considered at all
serious.

The Great Falls Tribune's recent in
teresting and generally accurate &C
count of the history of the Yogo sap
phire fields contains one error that it
is worth while to correct. The article
credits the discovery of the sapphires
to John Ettien while heriing sheep in
the vicinity of what is now Yogo. AS
a matter of fact, the sapphires were
discovered by Mr.. Jacob Hoover
year or two before Mr.. Ettlen made
his find. Mr.. Hoover was given
grub stake by 8. 8. Hobson, and was
prospecting for gold along Yogo creek
In panning for gold at a point on the
creek where the middle fork ROAD
crosses, he found the first sapphires,
which had doubtless been washed
down by the creek from the dyke
where they are now being mined. The
exact nature of the stones was at that
time unknown. and Mr.. Hobson took
them to lapidary at Helena for ex-
animation. The expert at once pro-
nounced them oriental sapphires, and
| afterwards they were traced back to
the famous dyke which is now turning
out the finest sapphires in the world

TILLM ANS WAR ON
PRESIDENT CEASES
Fiery Southerner Less Bitter al
Reconciliation with Roose-
welt May Come. .
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, April lot is whis-
pered that before the rate contest has
ended in the senate there may be a
reconciliation between Senator Tillman
and President Roosevelt. Tillman still
declares that he sees no reason why he
should confer with the president regard
ing rate legislation, but it is notice
able that he is less bitter than for
merly when he has occasion to mention
the occupant Of the White House,
whether in debate or in private.
At the same time Tillman feels deeply
the slight put upon him several months
ago by the president, when a White
House dinner invitation to meet Prince
Henry of Germany was recalled because
Tillman struck his colleague, Senate,
McLaurin, upon the senate floor. The
South Carolinan has advanced so fa1
in his treatment of the president Is
name as not to declare that he will
never visit the White House, as was
his wont months ago..
It is known that the president would
welcome a call from Tillman. He has
forgiven the year Of open warfare that
has been carried on against him in the
race question. and while he can, OF
course, never forget the abuse that &C.
companied it, mutual friends say that
he is willing to bury the Ratchet. Il
is positively stated that but one thing
now stands in the way-this is an apol
ogy from the president to Tillman fol

PRESIDENT HITS
HARD AT MALCH0W
Minneapolis Physician
Deserves Prison Term, but
Withholds Decision.
BY w. W.. Jermane.

Washington, April 1O.-Senators Mel
son and Clapp, Representative Fletcher
and William Henry Eustis this morning
had a conference with President Roose-
welt, regarding the application for a
pardon for DR.. G. W. Malchow of Min
nneapolis, sentenced to the penitentiary
for publishing a medical book contain
ing chapters held to be improper. The
president had previously looked over
the book, a copy of which was given
him by request. At the conference
this morning he expressed himself very
energetically to the effect that the book
was bad and that DR.. Malchow had not
received more than he deserved. In
fact. the president intimated that he
would be glad to increase the penalty,
if it were in his power.
The discussion proceeded for half an
hour, and toward it's close the president
appeared somewhat calmer under the
arguments presented by Senator Clapp,
and said he would take the case up with
Attorney General Moody before making
a definite decision.

Naples, April 10.-A frightful disas-

city, following the eruption Of Mount
Vesuvius.
Two hundred people, is is estimated,
were buried this morning in the ruins
of the market Monte Olivio, when the
roof collapsed under the weight OF Gin
ders from the volcano.
The exact number of people within
the building at the moment Of the catas-
,trOphe is not known and the list Of Ia
~talities is problematical.
Hour Of Merrymaking.
The disaster was appalling. The
courtyard covers 600 square feet and
was rooted. The space within was un-
usually crowded with buyers and their
children, the accident happening at the
hour Of the day when trade is most
brisk.
Rival displays of flowers, fruits and
vegetables contested for buyers, while
market women screamed their wares
and joked with their customers.
Little children played about the
stands, adding gaiety- to the scene the
like Of which is not witnessed outside
Of Naples.
Crash and Deaths.
Suddenly with scarcely a tremor of
warning there was a terrifying crash
and the brilliant sights disappeared in
a cloud Of dust, while shrieks of agony
rent the air.
