Notes.
State Senator Thos. d. Long was also
there.
Considerable money changed hands as
result of the game.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Mabry of Co
lumbia Falls took in the game.
Bleachcrs were erected for the game,
but even then seats were scarce.
The Whitefish lady rooters were on
hand in full force and did effective work.
Even the old fire bell was taken from
its moorings and helped to make the din.
There were probably even more people
present than at the Fourth OF July game
There were many ladies among the
Kalispell contingent, and they knew how
to root.
Mayor Snyder presented the winning
team with fine high-priccd bat, which
was used during the game
Attorney w. N. Noffsinger was on
hand, but he likes both cities so we'll that
he hardly knew who to root for.
Fred Doering took the Whitefish team
out to supper, feeding them on trout
which he claimed to have caught all by
himself.
Hamill has the hard luck story. Joe
was in fine form and was right up on
his toes every minute, but didn't even
get chance at the ball.
S. J. NJ. Beebee, who is organizing a
w. O. w. lodge in Whitefish, couldn't
find megaphone large enough to suit
him, so he had one made to order.
Editor Busey of the Kalispell Journal
was one Of the enthusiasts present and
took careful note of the doings And by
the way, there's nothing wrong with
Busey.
The Kalispell Bee is out with a write.
up Of the game which is SO full Of mis-
statements and so plainly indicates al
Unborn hatred of Whitcfish as to be un
worthy of serious consideration.
When Laird made his sensational home
run he was met at the plate by a bant
of rooters who carried him to the grant
stand on their shoulders and finally de-
posted him upon the players bench
There was some real roofing about tina
time.
1t might be we'll to remind some of tn
soreheads among the newspaper fraternit
that at the game in Kalispell between til
same teams there were some raw decisions
one especially at third base, but the
were rendered in favor of Kalispell, an
as the Whitegsh players did not kick, c
course everything was lovely. What's til
use OF bein' sorchead?
The umpircs held most unenyiabl
positions, as there were numerous clos
and doubtful plays upon which it wa

The umpircs held most uncnyiable
positions, as there were numerous close
and doubtful plays upon which it was
difficult to render decision, and in an
interesting game there is always roar
from the side against whom the decision
is given. Taken altogether, however,
everything was pretty well evened up in
this respect, and there is nothing for
either side to do much kicking about.

"RAD LANDS" IN MONTANA
Miles on Miles Of Rugged chasms,
Enthusiastically Carved.

1t seems to me that no human be-
Ing can stand on that spot and view
that marvellous labyrinth of wild
nature without being thrilled by 1t.
Instantly your thoughts fly to the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado, as
seen from Point Sublime, only this
is In miniature. The fact that you
stand on sharp point, from which
the world drops steeply away on
three sides, is not the thing that
is SO profoundly impressive. 1t il

wilderness of the maze Of bad lands
INT which you look. Before you.
and on either hand, there stretch
miles upon miles of ragged chasms,
divided and walled in by a thou

stubbornly defy the forces of ero.
sion, and refuse to crumble down.
In several places there are masses
OF earth architecture that remind
one of the ruined castles on the
Rhine. These bare walls are most.
ly OF gray earth, not rock, and the
carving OF them has been most
strangely done. 1t is only when you
climb among them, and touch them.
that the wonders of erosion are fully
revealed
The hard, dry earth has most stub
Dornly resisted the disintegrating

but think it is about 500 feet.
After the first moments of spell
bound wonder and amaze, you begin
to pick out the geography OF what
lies before you. You see that the
axis of all this wild waste of carved
and furrowed earth Is the level and
very narrow valley of Snow creek,
which comes down from the west.
You can easily trace its course east
ward to Che point where 1t bends
abruptly northward and runs into
the Missouri, parallel with the last
eight miles of Hell creek. In the
creek bottom there is sinuous
string OF cottonwood trees, aspens add

PLAGUE ALMOST
BEYOND CONTROL
Cholera Situation in St. Petersburg
More Serious Than Visitation
Of the Year 1893.
Disease Also Spreading In Manila
There Being Many Deaths, But
Health Authorities Are Confident
of Gaining Control of the
Situation.

St. Petersburg.-St Petersburg is IN
the grasp of Asiatic cholera, which al
ready has exceeded in severity and
numbers the visitation of 1893 The
disease is increasing daily at an
alarming rate, and unless the authori
ties show in the future a much greater
degree of ability to cope with the sit
uation than they have in the past
there is every reason to fear that 1t
will get out of hand. The governments
threat to apply. the provisions of mar
tial law has driven the municipality
officials to bend all their energies to
clearing the city of the scourge. The
aldermanic council has voted $3.50 900
to enlarge the hospital space, to pur-
chase and distribute disinfectants, the
supply of which in ST. Petersburg is
well-nigh exhausted, and to expedite
the interment of bodies, which has
been VIGOROUSLY slow. The dead
houses are overcrowded and many
corpses lie unburied
Manila.-Fifty-ei new cases of
cholera and nineteen deaths are re-
ported for the twenty-four hours end
ing at 8 O'Clock Monday morning.
The infected areas in the city and
suburbs are spreading somewhat, but
the health authorities are still conf
dent that they will be able to speedily
gain control of the situation.
Governor General Smith. has sum
,moned special meeting of the mem.
'bers of the Philippine commission, to
discuss the plague situation and to lay
plans for an extension of the cam
'paign now being waged against the
disease.
Federal troops are guarding the
sources of the city's water supply to
prevent the throwing of any infected
matter into the water, and it is prob.
able that the force thus engaged will
be largely reinforced.

ARKANSAS WOMAN FOUGHT
BY HER HUSBANDS SIDE
Desperate Battle Between sherIff's
Posse and Murderer and His Wife
Results in Two Being MortalIy
Wounded.

West Plains, Mo.-John Roberts and
his wife on Sunday resisted sheriff's
posse in a desperate battle near Pres
tonia, one mile south of the Missouri
Arkansas line, when the officers at
tempted to arrest Roberts for killing
ODE Kessinger, a neighbor, Saturday
night. As a result the woman and
Sheriff Mooney of Baxter county, Ar
kansas, are mortally wounded; Rob
erts and two members of the posse
Max Lowery and his son-are all seri-
ously hurt. Roberts may not survive.
The murder of Kessinger was cold
blooded. Roberts went to the house
late in the evening and called his vic
tim to the door. When Kessinger APP
peared Roberts fired deliberately and
killed him. The cause of the deed has
not been learned here.
Sheriff Money had collected several
deputies when he was informed of the
crime early Sunday morning and start
ed to arrest Roberts. The posse was
hailed by the woman and told to keep
away, but when the sheriff continued
to advance both she and her husband
opened fire. Mooney was shot by the
woman. His fall disconnected his dep
uties, and Roberts and his wife took
advantage of this to barricade the
house. They defended the building
for hours When the firing from with
in finally ceased the door was broken
down. Mrs. Roberts. suffering from
fourteen wounds, was dying, and her
condition was such that no attempt
was made to remove her to Jail. Rob-
erts and the wounded officers were
taken to Mountain Home. Ark.

Richest Family In Europe,

It is not generally known that the
imperial family of Russia is the rich
est royal family In Europe, and de-
rives its vast wealth from three
sources-the state treasury, the i'm
perial domains formerly church
lands). and the so-called cabinet
properties" A writer In Harper's
Weekly gives some interesting facts
The state treasury pays out 81, 000, 900
per annum for the needs of the i'm
perial house, principally for the main
tenance of the palaces and the officials
and servants attached to them. The
reigning empress, for example, has
an allowance OF $1,000 per year, and
the dowager empress the same. Every
child born to the car receives from
birth to the age of 81 nearly $40, 900
a year, while the heir to the throne
receives annually, in addition to the
maintenance of palaces, $1,000.
Daughters receive a dowry of one
million rubles when they marry.
