TILLMAN NOT COMING.
Go to the Bank of Fergus County
and Get Your Rebate

To Holders Of Lecture Club tickets:
Notwithstanding all the disap-
pointments of the season, the man
ayers of the Lewistown Lecture Club
were confident that Senator Tillman
would be in Lewistown next Mon
day evening, but he has declined to
come, for reasons not stated, but
presumably because of the bad luck
other lecturers have had in reaching
Lewistown and in reaching their
next engagement from Lewistown.
There is nothing now to do but to
call off the course
The club promised ticket holders
eight numbers. They have delivered
six. the following: Imperial Quartet,
Frank Nye, Father Vaughan, Ralph
Parlette, DIR. Dawson and Marc.
Holders of tickets may present
them at the Bank of Fergus County

ceive rebate of ST 80, covering the
proportionate value of the two num-
bers missed
The club will not undertake a
course Tor next season and those
who have signed for tickets may
consider themselves relieved from
any obligations
However. should the opportunity
occur next winter individual rumbers
will be secured and the people Of
Lewisto~n afforded high class en-
tertairnent at whatever price is made
necessary by the cost of securing the
talent. Only one-night tickets will
be sold
Regretting our failure, but assur-
ing you that we have exhausted ev-
cry means of keeping our agreement
with you we thank you for your as
sistance and your patience

HAD The TIME
Of HIS Lift
Big" Lehman Tells Democrat O,
Trip Through Little Old Euron.

\
big Lehman arrived home last
Thursday evening from his European
trip, having been absent from the
city something over two months. He
says that he had the time of his
| whole life and has been busv ever
since his return peddling stories 5f
his jaunt.
Big gave the Democrat long
account of the entire trip, saving
among other things:
The trip over was somewhat
rocky and after we had been out for
few hours, | lost interest in every
thing except the side rail of the big
boat, but there | remained for about
one full day without any desire to
move
Going over | fell in with three
other fellows and we stuck together
throughout the entire trip. We look
ed over Old Lunnen' and found it to
be bustling sort of burg of about
six million population We did not
make the acquaintance of all the in
habitants.
From London we went across the
channel to France and put in
couple of weeks in Paris Talk about
your speedy towns, that, Paris, every
part of it has the Great White WAY
OF New York skinned a dozen city
blocks. After fooling around there
awhile, | found the town entirely
unsulted to my gait and therefore,
went up into Switzerland
The Swiss are away head of any
other people in Europe to my way
OF thinking. The whole of Continent
al Europe. might mention, is about
one hundred years behind the United
States in business matters. For in
stance, if one desires to use one of
their telephones, they want to set
aside the entire day for the opera
ton. If the person with whom YOU
wish to communicate is within ten
miles, it is quicker to get a rig and
go to see him than to telephone, so
antidiluvian are the instruments
which they use
But those Swiss are up and COM
ing and are making wonderful pro-
gress in many ways. They have an al |
most democratic form of government
and the degree of culture is high
among he people.
Il was struck with the same thing |
that nr. Long observed, viz: The very
large part that Americans play in |
the material welfare Of practically ey-
cry country in Europe The assertion
that the tourist crop is their best
crop is literally true. They always |
look for an American to "come
through literally A native can
give ten cent tip in one of the high
class hotels and it is all right with
the hunkies but if an American hands
them anything less than a quarter, it
is received with with very poor grace
indeed. In Italy especially, the
American tourists money goes far
toward keeping large percentage of
the population. In Rome we found
hotels where there were BARRIERS who
did not even understand the Italian
language, depending entirely upon the
Americans for patronage"

COMPETITION SUPPRESSED.
STARTLING OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF
RAILROAD MONOPOLY


The report of the special attorneys

sion recommends that the Attorney
General Of the United States take ac
tion to anuul the contract between the
Union Pacific and Rock Island rail :
roads for the control of the Chicago
and Alton railroad, which was virtual.
lY wrecked by the Harriman syndicate.
The most startling announcement in
this report is THAT railroad competi
tion has been suppressed in an area
equal to one third of the United States;
and that the profits of the great rail
roads OF the Far West are being used
to buy stocks and control systems in
the East, instead of building more
roads for the development of the West. y
Yet after this exposure of the deals of
Hartman and other railroad magnates
they are indignant that the legisla-
lures of the states included in the ''area
equal to one. third of the United States
should egislate to compel railroad cor
porations to charge reasonable rates
instead of extracting vast sums from
the public TO buy the stocks of East |
ern railroads The fact that the At
torney General of the United States |
needs prod to protect the public |
interests shows that the chief reliance |
of the plundered people must be
jhro ugh their own direct representa- |

nois as the second coal producing
State, showing total output of 43,
276 .4S5 short tons. while the prOduc-
tion of Illinois was Al ,497 ,435 short

the suspension of mining in Illinois

GENIUS RECOGNIZED.
YET ON THE MARKET AT THE JAMES
TOWN EXPOSITION.

Norfolk, Va.-A most interesting
feature of the jamestown Exposition
on Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, Va :,
which opened April 26th, and will close
November Both, is the "Sectlon for In-
ventions, " in which inventors are in
vited to display their inventions and
demonstrate their value to visitors.
The invitation is open to all, and
every facility is offered in the way of
floor space, tables and shelves, adver
tising cards and labels, electric cur
rent, gas, lights. etc. A modest fee of
from ten to not more than thirty dol
lars, except in very special cases, is
charged for such space and service. -
The service includes, as we'll as the
general care of models. explanations to
visitors, and the return of the exhibit
at the close Of the Exposition.
Awards will be made of gold, silver,
and bronze medals and diplomas That
inventors are alive to this unparallel
ed opportunity for making public their
creations, is shown by the fact that
within four weeks after the first notice
was sent out by the Bureau of Inven
tions of the Jamestown Exposition,
applications are now coming at the
rate of hundred a day.
The inventors are not the only ones
who will profit by this display. for the
exhibition cannot fail to be of interest
and material benefit TO the public at
large. Never before has such an op-
portunlty been presented at any expo
sltion, and now that the first step has
been made in this direction, such ex
hibftions of inventions will no doubt
