there is a great cry from out ON the

cooking and without the sweet solac-

Miss Gardiner. herself a Great Falls

wives. II wants Montana girls if it

The Late John Casey.

Funeral services in memory of the late
John Casey of West Hickory, brief men,
ton of whose death was made in the
REPUBLICAN Of last week, were held at
st. Johns church of Tidioute at 8 o'clock
Thursday morning, the Rev. A. H..
Wiersbinski officiating, and the following
relatives acting as pail. bearers: James
Connelley, II. j. Connelley, Thomas
More, E. Hennessey, Fl. O'Hars and h.
Paterson. The interment took place in
St. Johns cemetery, and though the
weather was inclement, many friends be-
sides the relatives braved the storm to
follow the remains of one who lived and
died in Christ, and whose memory will
aver be pleasant to those who knew and
loved him. The floral offerings were
numerous and very beautiful and in
cluded many emblematic tributes. The
loose flowers we're banked in fragrant
lovliness everywhere in the rooms he
loved best.
Mr.. Casey was a man of sterling quail
tiles, a kind and affectionate father and
husband, a good neighbor, a friend to
everyone and bearing i'll against no one
He was ever faithful in his work. Hon.
N. P. Wheeler, in whose employ he had
been for many years, while standing neal
his bier said to the bereaved family and
friends, "In all my experience with men
Mr.. Casey was an exception, being un'
equalled in fa~ithfulness. kindness, snd
the fear and love of God" And so it was
with all his friends. Young and old, rich
and poor alike showed their respect aud
admiration for the beautiful, unselfist
life he lived in their midst, and the un'
sullied example of Christian fsithfulnes'
which he left to those whom he loved.

NeMmansyllIe Man BECOMES Violent.

A Clarion dispatch to tie Derrick under
date of May 3, says: "a man was
brought in a hack from the vicinity Of
Newmansville, this county, Saturday
forenoon, hsndcutfed and with his feet
tied, and lodged in Jail. Four of his
neighbors brought him here, represent
ing that he had become violently insane,
and that therefore they were justified In
selling and bringing him to this place In
irons and with his feet bound. II Is re-
ported that their representations that he
was wholly bereft of reason were sus.
tanned by his actions after being placed
behind the bars and loosened, that he dis
placed and broke a pipe fixture, dlvested
himself of his clothing and did other
things unquestionably evidential of in
sanity, greatly damaging the cell in
which he was placed, and nearly tearing
a hole through a wall thereof, whereupon
he was again bound. He is reported to
have the extraordinary physical strength
which sometimes accompanies madness
Several men, 1t appears, found II ex-
ceedingly difficult to bandcuff and tie
him. The unfortunate man is Isaac Hep
Ter, SO years OF age and has a wife and five
children. The county commissioners in
tend having him taken to the Warren in
zane asylum to-day"
Mr.. Hepler was a former citizen OF II
nesta. The cause of his trouble Is al
tribuled to an accident sustained to one
of his eyes several months ago., and the
ultimate loss OF the sight of that member.

Sounds Very Fishy.

One of the rumors that is periodically
set aflost concerning some establishment
or corporation has been circulating for a
couple of days and 1t is to the effect that
there is soon to be a notable change in the
running of railroads. 1t is stated that the
Pennsylyania's lease of the W. N. I'D P,
railroad system expires June and that
the Pennsy is going TO throw up its hold
ings. 1t is further reported that the
Nickle Plate railroad company intends
taking over the C%bautsuqua division
FROM Oil City to Buffalo. The story
originates from railroad men who claim
the corporations and that the change will
surely be made. There probably is no
foundation for the report, but If it should
prove true, it will make quite a difference
In business affairs. The Adams Express
company would be put out of business on
that division and the National Express
company would gain a foOthold. 1t
scarcely seems possible that the P. r. r.
would throw up a lease of this kind and
allow an opposition company to take it
over, aver II the property did not pay
large dividends. The story is given for
what it is worth and it may be true, but
this is doubtful.-Warren Mirror.
In this connection the Titusville Herald
Of Monday prints a rather lengthy story
to the effect that the New York Central
railroad has secured control of the old
W. N. Y. & P. road, which it has leased
"irom the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
psny." Had the Herald said that the
lease of the P. r. r. of the W. N. Y. & P.
had expired and that the N. Y. Central
had secured the same the story would
look more plausible, but TO say that the
"Pennsy'' bad leased its most direct aud
almost only route into Buffalo to its most
aggressive competitor, sounds rather
fishy TO n with average common sense.
The story lacks the elements of good bus
mess sagacity, and no one will attribute
any such lack TO the P. r. r. manage
meDt. In matters of railroad manage
ment or policy the general public is not
usually we'll informed. the railroads sell
dom taking the public into their conf
dence. Hence it is always the part of
wisdom for the general public TO wait
and see. That's what the g. p. has al
ways to do anyway.

BY a really remarkable coincidence the
news dispatches from Spain during the
short period of forty-eight hours last
month revived memories of the Ameri-
can-Spanish war in a way to emphasize
how far both countries have moved dur
ing the decade that has passed and how
changed are their relations. On April 2
ex-President Roosevelt landed at Glbral-
tar for a briet visit while on his way to
Africa. On the same day the Spanish
cabinet, so the cable dispatches informed
us, publicly announced its definite in
tention TO reconstruct OH modern lines
the Spanish navy, which has been a
negligible quantity since Cervera's de-
feat at Santiago. The next day Admiral
Cervera himself, who bore such a gallant
part in the conflict of eleven years age
and who earned the high respect of the
American military and naval forces,
passed away at the ripe age of seventy.
The evening papers of the same day in
Madrid announced that General Weyler
had completed his memoirs, dealing
chiefly with his campaign in Cuba. A
week later, on April IL, came the expira'
ton of Article ". of the Treaty of Paris
which gave Spain equal commercial
privileges with the United States in the
