AN OBJECT LESSON.

Among the prisoners before the Po-
lice Court this morning was a forlorn
young woman who was charged with
vagrancy and for begging on the streets.
The woman lives Ia the western section
of the city and is probably known to sll
people whose business or inclinations
bring them On the streets. Scsntily
clad, in mid-wintry blasts or summer heat
she slwly plods along the principal
streets 10 order to attract the attention oil
the eleemosynsfy disposed. She re-
pssts the statement that she is victim
of adverse fortune, and one needing i'm:
mediate succor. But it is the old, old
story. The woman is a victim OF Slcohol-
ism, and, in one sense, deserves the
comnissration of all who regret to see
such sbipwrecks. Justice Oaton sent
her 10 the work house for 80 days.

Disastrous Floods.

trous food threatens 10 eugulf the towns
of Cascade and Great Falls today. Mil
lions OF dollsrs' worth OF property In
bo,h places is 10 danger, and The waters
continue to rise. The waters OF the
Missouri river began to rise early yes
terdsy with alarming raPidity. ID s.
patches from Cascade today show thai
that there is no sign OF subsistence, and
that the big steel bridge at that point
Is doomed. The waters have spread ovel
the territory and the surface OF the nooi
is black with ranch houses, hay stacks
and the bodies of cattle.
Other sdvices from Great Falls indi-
cate that the situation Is alarming al
that point. and /; is believed that nothing
can prevent the waters from engulfing
the lower regions of that towo. bail
road tracks for miles about these Two
towns have been washed out.
Helena, Mont, Apr. 10 As result
OF the break Of the hawser dam in the
Missouri river Yesterday an uncontroll-
able food is rapidly advancing upon
Great Falls, city OF $1,000. Il Is be-
lieyed that The Boston and Montana
shelter, one of the largest in the world,
is doomed. The smelttr is built on the
river hank sud employs more than 300
men. These men we're kept at work all
night constructing a wall around the
smelter in the hope of saving 1t. Prep
sratious have been also made so that
the dam at Great Falls from which the
smelter receives lie power may be dyns'
mited as a last resource. The little town
of Craig hiss probably been wiped on
the map although as far as Is known all
of the four hundred iuhabisnis escaped.
