Death was due TO uraemic convul.

which were decided upon by the ply

applied.
But few men in Montana were re.

people of Great Falls who knew him

Advance In Wool Market

The news that prices advanced in
the London wool market the past week
had a stimulating effect upon the
Boston dealers, and their agents Ia
Montana and other" western states
were instructed to get busy and make
rs many contracts as possible. The
result of this activity 10 the closing of
several deals in which there was q
deadlock between the buyers and the
sheepmen, the price showing an ad.
van over that previously offered.
Most of the wool clips of the Sweet
Grass hills country we're recently
contracted to Boston buyers, at prices
ranging from 20 to % cents, the latter
figure being paid for the Bourne &
Hamilton clip by w. E. Chase, re-
presenting Koshland Bros. The L. D.
Pugsley clip was secured by the same
house at % cents.
There was also some trading at Big
Sandy a few days ago, the clips of H.
Osterman, Ward g. Lehfeldt, N. Stern.
berg and Murray Bros. being sold at
81 cents. There were two or three
buyers bidding on the Walter Brown
clip, and it al finally sold to j.
r. Patterson, representing Caverly &
Go at 223 cents. The 81. Jappe clip
was also sold at the same figure.
A recent dispatch from Boston says
a buying fever in wool is apparent.
1t is more In evidence in those sections
where wool is to be obtained in
quantity than seaboard markets,
were only casual supplies are avail.
able. Reports from the growing Sec
tions indicate that the competition of
buyers is greater than at any pre-
vious period since the enactment of
the Dingley duties on wool.
The election of President Mckinley
in 1896 was followed by a scramble for
wool because Of the certainty of tariff
tax upon the product. The present
fever Is due to q threatened shortage

that may be overlooked IL the fact
that the new license law makes It
necessary for women and.lchildren to
have the license to fish and hunt as
vel Is adult male persons. Under
the former law q license issued to the
head of a family permitted. the entire
family. his wife aud children under
age to dsh on his license, but under
the new regulations each and every.
one must have the states permission,
and this costs 81.
Another thing that is deserving of
attention is the state law which makes
It unlawful for any minor under the
age OF IA to have In his possession In
the fields or elsewhere any fire arms,
unless accompanied by parents or
guardian. Many casualties have re.
suited from lads Of tender years hav-
Ing weapons In their hands, and fatal
Injuries to themselves or other have
been inflicted by violations OF this
law. The parents are responsible and
subject to q fine for the violation OF
the law.
AS the fishing sesson is now open
and the days are inviting to old and
young it is wisdom to remember these
things and to have your license in your
pocket when out in the helds, for the
ofacers are empowered to demand

The extreme heat has caused some
uneasiness in regard to it's effect up
on small grain, but the country ap-
pears to be standing the heat very
well, as it has been we'll soaked by
the rains Of the past ten days. Wheat
which is in the milk may be somewhat
shrunken, but up to the present it is
asserted by those who have examined
the fields that there has been no great
damage. Corn is getting to the front
with this weather, and as the acreage
of that grain has been greatly in
creased in this portion of the state,
any loss on wheat, if it occurs, will
be more than balanced by the gain in
corn.
