Ind OF One of the Severeet Spells
OF Winter in Northwest in
Many Years.
STOCK LOSSES ARE NOT LARGE
Fergus County Fl0Ckmasters Escape
Remarkably Well-Not So Fortun-
ate in Other Sections.

Last Thursday marked the breaking
up of one of the longest and most
severe spells of winter weather ever
experienced in Montana within the
one or two chinooks which came along
during the storm only added to the
discomforts and danger to stock in
terests
The warm sun Of the last five days
has taken the greater part of the
snow from the ground and stock can
now get down to the grass once more
The railroad got Strengthened out
Thursday and for the last two DAYS
the TRAINS have been approximately
OH time. Freight and express, which
were piled up in great amounts at
Lombard and along, the line are now
D-ing brought into this city rapidly
and within another week. everything
will be running as usual There Is
great deal of freight which local mer-
chants and business men have ordered
winch is long over due, but it is be-
ing held up along the main lines.
A careful enquiry by the Democrat
reveals the fact that the losses which
were sustained by Fergus county cat
tie and sheep owners were not SER
ious. Some stock perished out on the
range but wherever there was any
feed. the owners managed to pun
through. Taken altogether, the losses
will not average but very little, if any,
greater than are experienced during
any ordinary winter and which are
always anticipated by the owners.
Reports from other parts of the
state are not SO favorable. The losses
in eastern and northern Montana will
be a very serious matter to many
stockmen.
Locally, business naturally slumped
somewhat during the severest of the
weather, but it has picked up wonder
fully in all lines this week and bids
fair to continue good throughout the
spring.

DEATH OF MRS.
EMMETT R. RACE
Well known Lady Passes Away After
An Extended lllnesS.--Funeral
At 2 O'Clock To-day.

After an illness of almost one year
known cigar manufacturer, passed
away last Sunday evening at 7:23
O'Clock, cancer of the breast being the
direct cause Of death. She had been
low for several weeks and her death
was not unexpected by the members
of her family and friends.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at O'clock from the Pres
byterian church. the Rev. Henry
Quickenden presiding at the services
lnterment was made in the city ceme-
terry. !.
Mrs. Race was born 4S years ago
in Black River Falls, North Dakota, and
remained in that place during her early
life. At the age Of twenty years she
was married to E. r. Race, who had
been companion of her childhood
days. They lived in Wisconsin and
Minnesota until nineteen years ago
when they moved to Great Falls which
was their home until four years ago
when they moved to this city.
Two children were born to this
union, one of which died in childhood
here.
Three Or four years ago Mrs Race
was stricken with cancer of the breast.
She went to Chicago where an oper-
alton was performed by one of the
noted specialists Of that city, but was
given only temporary relief.
Several months ago she went to the
coast in the hope that a change of
climate would benefit her health, but
she grew gradually worse and finally
returned to this city last December,
as she expressed it, '.to,die" among her
friends.
Her condition was critical from the
time that she arrived here and her
death was looked for at any time
The many friends Of Mrs. Race in
this city knew her as a good woman
always true to her family and her
friends. The intense suffering which
she has undergone during the last few

assembly sat down to a good and sub.

Scotch "Haggis' had it's place Of
honor and, thereafter a splendid ball

referred to where the stirring and en-
livening strains of bagpipe, violin and
piano, then hours went fieeting past
on nimble feet and with gladstone
hearts.
It would be well to say that close

the opinion is generally entertained
that never before in the history of
Fergus county. county which we all
know boasts a Scottish name, to token
shall we say, of it's possible advance
ment to one of the highest positions
in the state of Montana, has the name
and fame of Robert Burns been cele-
brated with such fervid emotion and
deep felt sincerity which are justly
due to him who, if anything, was a
true and upright man, who, despite
personal failure and defects, was yet
able, even in his dying moments, to
stand true and square to the doctrine
which binds the whole world in
chain, no rivet of which any one may
dare to break without eternal damage
to himself and his, the doctrine Of
universal freedom, universal sympathy,
universal brotherhood.
So great prophet was Robert Burns.

MUST GIVE UP SPORTS
TO GET REQUEST
SWarthmOre College May
Reject Coal Lands.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov. s.
(SpeciaD indications point to the re-
lection by Swarthmore College of
the provisional bequest of coal lands
made in the will of Miss Anna T.
Jeanes, on condition that the college
intercollegiate sports.
1t was said yesterday that the value
Of the property was relatively so
small that the gift had been receiving
more consideration than it was worth,
the implication being that the induce
ment contained in the will was not
sufficiently great to lead the board
of managers of the institution to
surrender its policy in regard to in
tercollegiate sports, which Miss
Jeanes stipulated should be abolish
ed
The committee appointed to ascer-
tain the value of the coal lands has
not completed its work, but enough
has been learned to prompt one of
the members to discount the impor-
lance attached to the bequest.
When asked concerning the status
of the case yesterday, Charles F..
jenkins, of the committee, laughingly
replied;
"Oh, bless you, this whole thing
has been exaggerated beyond its i'm
portance and the value of these coal
lands has been grossly exaggerated"
Are the lands worth $5O0,000?"
you must excuse me; such infor-
nation is for the board only, and I
dare say the men on it will tell all
the public is to know when they
have arrived at a decision. But l do
say the value of the coal lands has
been grossly exaggerated"
Mr.. Jenkins emphasized the word
grossly" and by his manner con-
veyed the impression that Swarth-
more would probably not be led to
seriously entertain the suggestion to
abandon athletics.
Dr. Swain, president of the col
lege, refused to discuss the subject.

Obnoxious Oscillations
(From New York Globe

A newsdealer who conducts a cor
ner stand not far from the Cortlandt
street ferry wants to know" Said
he: There ought to be law against
kissin' on the street. Why. say, you
never saw anything like what goes
on around here every day. Seems to
me there never was so many people
kissin' each other good-by as there
is nowadays. In the middle of the
day it's people with handbags goin'
to the train. In the evening it's
friends or girls and their best fell

TAFT WILL CUT OUT
AROUND ORLD TRIP
Various Reasons Assigned
For the Change.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov S.
(SpeciaD-It is understood in official
circles that as a result of telegraphic
CORES pondence with President
Roosevelt, Secretary Taft has decided
to abandon his contemplated trip
through Europe on his way home
from the Philippines and will return
to this country by the Pacific Ocean
route.
According to the statements made
in semi-official way, Mr.. Taft's
change of plan is due to a desire to
avoid international embarrassment.
His original itinerary provided that
he should visit ST. Petersburg and
Berlin and journey thence, without
stopping at Paris, to Cherbourg,
where he would take the steamer for
New York.
1t was Mr.. Tafts intention to trav-
ell through Europe in an unofficial ca
pacity, but the fact that he expected
to see Emperor William in Berlin,
while avoiding any effort to have an
audience with the Gar or with Pres
ident Fallieres, gave rise to opinion
here that his course might arouse adj
verse comment in Russia and in
France, and tend to give color to the
reports that Germany and the United
States were approaching an under
standing having many of the ele-
ment5 of an informal alliance.
1t was after Mr. Taft started on
his journey that Emperor William is
said to have sent word to Washing
ton that he would not be in Berlin
when Mr. Taft was expected to reach
there, and suggested that Mr., Taft's
itinerary be changed so as to make
his stay in the German capital while
the Emperor was there. Apparently
Mr.. Taft changed his schedule so as
to conform to the Emperors wishes.
In spite of the explanation offered
in a semi-oficial way of Mr. Taft's
change of route, there is strong
opinion here that the condition of
Mr.. Taft's campaign for the Presi-
dental nomination had some influ-
ence upon his decision to come back
by the Pacific route. 1t is said that
many of Mr. Taft's friends are dissat-
isfled with the way that the cam
paign. is being managed, and think
that Mr.. Taft should get on the
ground as early as possible.
