CHANGE FOR THE WORSE.
New Bryan Compares Unfavorably
with the Bryan of 1896.

The Bryan of 1908 is not the Bryan
of 1896 and of 1900. Then he was
young impetuous, intrepid daring.
Now he is cautious, conservative, mys-
terious, polite. Then he rushed forth
to battle in the glamour and glc-y of
moral hero. Now he is inclined to
look before he leaps" to weigh the
chances of his action, to trim his sails
to every passing breeze.
And we are gravely assured that the
new Bryan is safer and saner than the
old.
We do not see how this can possibly
be. The Bryan of a dozen years ago
was an earnest reformer To-day he is
political trimmer. Then he was po-
lltically honest. now he is almost un-
der suspicion. He has made his peace
with every political trickster and
gangster in the Democratic party He
has not repudiated a single one of his
political vagaries, but, for the exig-
encies of the campaign, he has grace
fully sidestepped on all the issues he
has found are obnoxious to the peo-
ple.' He has thrown principle to the
winds, and is playing politics."
He is no longer the moral hero of a
new reformation, but the political lead
er of spoils party. The old chieftain,
honest though wrong, was far more to
be trusted and desired than the new
standard bearer who is politically both
dishonest and wrong.

Colored Fisherman Most Satisfied
When the Bites Were Few.

Riding across the country one day,
DR.. Blank noticed an old negro who
had been for quite a while perched
motionless upon a little bridge. fish
ing silently from the stream beneath.
For some time he watched him from
distance, but finally, overcome by
the old fellows unmoved patience, he
rode up and accosted him.
Hello, Wash! What are you doing
up there?"
"Fishin", sah," came the reply.
Not getting many, are you?"

Mo Order.

Booker T. Washington, at dinner
in Cleveland during the National Edu-
cational Associations convention. was
complimented by a clergyman on his
eloquence.
Mr.. Washington in reply told a story
of Southern minister who could not
have been very eloquent.
"One Sunday morning" he said, Sin
the midst of this minister's sermon,
head poked itself through the door of
the vestry, and a low and tremulous
voice said:
'Parson. the church is on fire
Very well, Brother Spriggins,' tho
minister answered, I will retire. Ped

gation'"

The Pronhet of Unrest

We are not to have settled tariff

Milwaukee, June 4,-Stanley ket-
che, of Montana, was given the de-
cision over Billy Papke, of keWaunee,
Ills, at the end Of a fast and furious
1O-round bout before the Milwaukee
Boxing club at Hippodrome tonlght
before a crowd estimated at 6,O0O
persons. The contest was terrific
affair from the tap of the gong to
the finish with the exception of the
time during which the men were en-
gagged in clinching. Time and time
again Kethel forced his man to the
ropes with his furious onslaughts OF
right and lefts to the head and body.
Ketchel was on top Of his man from
gong to gong without ever giving MIN
a moments rest except when they were
in clinches. Ketchel appealed to the
referee to break the clinches repeat
edly. Only in the eighth did Papke
have an even break. Ketchel, in the
first round, took considerable steam
out of his man by landing terrific
right to the jaw, sending Papke to
his knees.

The Montana lad worked the right

get to him. If Ketchel, as was said
Nv some. was Il bit slow, he did not
show it tonight Not even for one
minute did he let his man rest. At
the end of the last round Papke was
plainly in distress and would have
hardly lasted another round.
Both men trained faithfully and WEI

MRS. CARNAL
PASSES AWAY

DlED-Mrs. Florain A. Carnal, aged
"a years, passed to the Great Beyond
late Sunday morning at Phoenix, Ar
izona, where she had gone last jan
uary for the benefit of her health
The word was flashed over the wires
on Monday to Mr. James Carnal and
was one of the last kilograms receiv-
ed from the west before the tie-up.
lnexpressibly sad was the news TO
all who knew and loved Mrs. Carnal
here to learn that the end had come,
for, though she had been in poor
health for months, having contracted
a severe cold early last winter, the
hope was ever present that she would
return again completely recovered
The news was received from Mr.. F.
A Carnal, who was called to her side
about month ago by the information
that she was failing fast and Mr.. Car
nal stated in the message that he was
coming to Havre with the remains for
burial here. Since then nothing has
been heard from him as the wires
lines are down. The party will proba
bly, arrive on the first train through
from the south over the Montana Gen.
traI, which will probably be the later
part of the week.
The deceased was true loyal wife;
a loving and devoted mother; an affec
tionate daughter and the grief of the
sorrowing husband and father and
mother and sister is shared by number
less friends in Northern Montana who
knew her, and. knowing her loved her
as a noble and pure woman.
She is survived by a husband-Mr.
F. A. Carnal; a little four-year old
daughter, a sister, Mrs. James S. Car
nal and father and mother, Mr.. ard
Mrs. Grahm Williamson, of Arballa,
North Dakota, who arrived in the
city this evening. Mrs. Carnal was
member Of Havre Chapter No. 80,
Order of the Eastern Star.

four feet of water on the floor of the

town must have been under water

effect that the light plant at Great

only rumors. There is no way at this
time of verifying them. NJ

The EXCEPTIONAL heavy rains which
visited Northern Montana last week
brought a flood of water which tax

Great, Northern and Montana Central

high water in the Missouri river and

The river rose rapidly for hours on
Sunday andM onday saw nearly all the
houses on the north side of the rail-
road track in water. The water con-
tinued to come up inch after inch and
