Is Martyr 10 Work

New York. Aug. 14.-Ira d. Sankey
known as an evangelist throughout
the Christian world, died last night
at his home in Brooklyn, but the
news of his passing away, did not
become generally known until today.
Mr.. Sankey was 68 yeays old.
For the last five years he had been
blind and had suffered from a COM
plication of diseases brought on by
overwork. But almost to the very
last he worked at hymn writing. HIS
tours throughout this country with
Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist,
brought him into wide wide promln-
ence. Sankey it might be said, wrote
gospel hymns of the world In China,
Egypt, India, Japan, and in almost
every language known to men,
Sankey's hymns were sung. tie re-
ceived a large income from his pub
LEGATIONS and leaves a considerable
estate.
Among Mr.. Sankey's most familiar
connositions are The Ninety and
Nine' and when the Mjsts Have
Rolled Away His songs are said to
have had circulation of more than
5o O0n 600 copies. He saved his won
derful voice for posterity by sing
ino into monographs. The records
were sent all over the world.

OLDEST MONTANAN DEAD

Virginia City, Aug. 14.-James
Boner, familiarly known to all the
residents of the Madison valley and
many others throughout Madison
county as ''Uncle Jimmie" is dead
at the age of more than 100 years.
He had been ailing for several
months, being afflicted with asthma.
His neighbors have been caring for
him and Tuesday night the two
daughters of the Rev. Mr.. Oliver sat
up with him till 6 o'clock, when,
making him comfortable for the
night, they retired to their home.
Wednesday morning Mrs. Ben Whit
man, his nearest neighbor, went over
to see how he was and found him
dead.
James Boner was undoubtedly the
oldest man in Madison county. if not
ii the state Of Montana. He did not
know his exact age. He knew the day
of the month in which he was born,
but was not positive as to the year.
Hewas born at Carlisle, Pa. Feb. II,
lust one month before ST. Patrick. {"
he was wont to say. The year of his
birth is not so certain, but in 1857.
when he crossed the plains, he was at
least so according to J. M, Knight
of this city, who crossed the plains
with him. Using that as basis he
was probably 101 years old last
February.

Immediately after the holdup was
released by the police. The smallness
of the plunder is due to the quick wit
of the mail clerks when they became
aware that their train had been held
up. Warned that the robbers were
coming, the clerks took advantage of
the time after the train had been cut
in two and threw the local registered
packages into sack in an out-of-the-
way place, where they were not no
ticed.

NEARING GOAL
One Week More Will Decide the Winners in
the Monitors Big Park Contest.

belligerent campaign to secure the
names of the few families of Daw-
son county who do not already get
the Yellowstone Monitor. The small
amount of So invested in a weekly
newspaper with so many novel feat
ures as the Monitor is by far the best
investment that any person could
make in the county-the stock brand
sheet alone is worth several times the
price to all stockmen.
The trip through the Yellowstone
National Park which the successful
young lady contestants will take will
be one long remembered as a happy
epoch in their lives. Of all the Park
season, probably no time is more
propitious than the early days of
September for taking the trip. In
this wonderland of the American
continent, the fall weather will be at
the zenith of its glory with warm,
pleasant days, cool nights. and a
bracing atmosphere in general that
will bring a sparkle to the cheek and
add new life to the tourists, as they
bowl along in the comfortable Wylie
coaches while viewing the many
marvellous things of Wonderland.
The Wylie people are rapidly gain
ing an international reputation as
successful caterers to the physical
and mental comfort of Park tourists.
Everything that modern ingenuity
can devise for successful camping is
to be had Nothing is left undone
that will serve to lessen the pleasant
memories of those making the trip
by the Wylie Way. So help your
favorite candidates before it is too
late.

AS the time rapidly draws nearer
for the closing of the Monitors Yel-
lowstone Park Contest, the hosts of
friends of the candidates are begin
ming to be more and more in evi-
dence in their active support of fav-
orites who are working for the free
trip.
The country districts heretofore
have been doing very good work,
while the city candidates have SEEM
ed to lag in their efforts. But dur
ing the last ten days the reverse has
been the case, the city candidates
getting into the contest with de-
cided vim which augurs we'll for the
work within Glendive. A pretty
race will be seen from now on until
the closing day. AS usual in such
contests, there is no doubt that sew
eral of the candidates will hold back
a heavy vote until the very last days
of the vote-getting campaign. So
those candidates who expect to take
in the free Park trip with all expen-
ses paid by the Monitor should get
to work with will.
Remember that one of the cou-
pons printed in the paper is good
for $50 votes when accompanied by
a yearly subscription, either in ad-
vance or in arrears, making a total
of 2,250 votes for each coupon and
subscription thus sent in. Job work
and advertising is counted at pro-
portionate rate. Help your favo-
rite candidate out at once before it
is too late. We will not be satisfied
until the Monitor is read in every
home in the county, and to that end
intend to spare no efforts in making
