STEWART.THOMAS

Herbert A. Thomas and Miss Vio-
la Stewart sprung quite a surprise
on their friends last week, when
they rode horseback into the city
Thursday evening and were married
at the Home Restaurant by Rev. ?.
C. Burhans, Howard Roby and W.
J. Eddington being awakened from
their slumbers to act as witnesses st
the nuptial event.
Mr.. Thomas was lately a govern
ment employe in the Lower Valley,
but his home is at Andover, Maine,
where he is associated in business
with his father, the latter being
president and general manager OF
the National Pulp & Paper Company
of New England. Miss Stewart has
spent practically her entire life IN
this county, being the daughter OF
Coroner Neil Stewart. The young
people left Friday for their future
home at Andover, Maine, thereby
stealing a march on most of their
friends who were waiting to con-
graduate them.
Miss Stewart will be remembered
as the winner of the diamond ring
in the Monitors Big Contest last
year. And right here we wish to
add that popularity of the kind is
certainly an aid to matrimony, as
several of the former Monitor con-
testants have been happily welded
since the close of the contest. Young
ladies' should watch with special int
crest for what the Monitor has ir
store for them in the future, what
ever may be their aspirations.

Chinese Die Like Rats

Seattle, May 13.-News of one of
the greatest disasters that China has
ever known, a sudden tidal bore in the
Yangstekiang river, which involved
the loss of nearly 10000 lives at
Hankow, was brough ht by the steamer
Titan, which arrived last night. A bore
26 feet in height flooded without warn
ing down the river, overwhelming
thousands of junks, sampans and small
boats and wrecking some large river
steamers. Some 5000 Chinese were
sleeping in sampans and small crafts,
and habitations by the riverside were
enveloped by the great wave which
swept broken junks, broken sampans
and Heterogeneous mass of debris,
with swarms of drowned Chinese mix
ed with the wreckage. The scenes for
many days after the disaster were
horrible, the river side being streWn
with dead and debris of the wrecked
craft for many miles.

]. M. Watson and Geo. Dow of
the Dickinson Horse Sales Company
were in the Gate City Of Montana
this week, looking over the local
field as to the advisability of holding
a sale here in the near future. They
were evidently we'll pleased with the
conditions they found, for it was
pretty definitely decided to hold one
or more sales here during the pres
ent season at dates to be announced
later. A sale at Marmath, on the
Milwaukee, will also probably occur
in the near future.
Mr.. Watson is the gentleman who
has conducted the previous famous
sales at Dickinson, while Mr.. Dow
is recent acquisition to the COM
pany, being from Madison, Wis.
VIM. Holland, the we'll known auc-
tioneer, will conduct the various
sales for the company this season.
No one project, perhaps, could
mean as much to city as well
conducted horse sale. Messrs. Wat
son and Dow are thorough hustlers
and will bring in an excellent class
of buyers, as they have heretofore
done at other places. Dawson Coun
ty horsemen should see to it thai
the sale here is made a success to be
proud of.

Hill, chairman of the Great North
ern, who delivered an address on
Thursday before the convention of
governors in Washington, returned
to this city yesterday. He referred
hopefully to the crop outlook in the
northwest, saying:
Everyone is looking forward
hopefully to the time when business
conditions will resume normal as
poets. The crop outlook is good. In
some parts of the west the condi-
tions are the most promising IN
years. In the northwest the seed
ing is just beirg finished, but the
conditions under which it has been
done are the best in ten years.
Mr.. Hill did not care to discuss
the general business situation nor
the proposed advance in freight
rates.
"The governors" said Mr.. Hill,
referring to the recent conference,
"do not till the soil, nor work the
mines, nor cut down the forests; all
they can do is to suggest means for
Improvement in agricultural meth
DDS and for conserving the natural
resources of their states. The carry
ing out of these suggestions rests
with the people, and the important
thing to do now is to force home to
the people the facts of the situation.
