A waterwerks system in Harlowton
will be established before long. The
machinery for the plant is already on
the way and some of it will be in
stalled before the town opens up for
it's big celebration on the Sd. This

to those who desire to those who de-
sire to have trees and lawns, but are
not able to water them under present
conditions.
George F. Gould, who represents
Fairbanks, Morse & Co., the company
that will put in the engine and pump,
was here Thursday and Friday look
ing after the proposition. He says
the machinery has been shipped and
that it ought to be here very soon.
On Thursday evening Mr.. Morse and
large number of the stockholders in
the concern inspected the site on the
TOP of the hill north of town. An
artesian we'll has been sunk here, and
there is splendid flow of water. For
nearly seven months there has been
ober 100 feet of water, SO that the
water supply is inexhaustible. Mr..
Gould, who has had considerable ex-
perience in installing machinery in
large wells aid for waterworks sys-
TENS, states that the conditions here
are very favorable for first class wa

JULY 3RD IS THE DAY
That Harlowton Will Celebrate In
stead of 5th. Games
Scheduled.

Harlowton will celebrate the ma
tion's birthday on the 3rd of July.
This change was made to accommodate
Lewistown, and also to enable the
ball teams of Lewistown and Harlow
ton to play at both celebrations.
Lewistown has planned to celebrate
on the 5th. Manager Lewellin has
scheduled game to be played there
for a purse, and has also arranged a
game with the Lewistown team to be
played here on the 3rd. This arrange
ment will allow both towns to cele-
brate without a conflic in dates,
they will be mutual help to each
other. 1t was rumored that Moore
would probably celebrate on the 3rd,
but now there is some talk of aban
doning the plan, and having baseball
tournament there instead later in
the season.
At the celebration here on the 3rd
there will be many novel features.
The advisory committee have decided
to make all the attractions free. The
ball grounds will be built long before
the 3rd, and on that day the gates
will be thrown wide open. No ad-
nilsson fee will be charged during
the day.
Several of the various committees
have met and laid plans. The adver-
tising committee has got busy with
the advertising, and large posters are
being distributed throughout this
section. The financial committee
think it will be possible to collect
enough to make the celebration one
of the best in the state. There will
be entertainment and fun all day
long for the big crowd that is expect
ed,

EARTHQUAKE
Shock Felt by the People of Harlowton
Also by Those of Other Towns.

Har!owton was visited with slight
earthquake last Saturday night. The
shock was quite perceptible in many
of the larger buildings. 1t came
about 9:15 and the tremOr was sutfi-
cient to attract general attention, al
though few understand the cause.
Those who were indoors could notice
the vibrations distinctly. Water in
glasses could be seen to tremble, and
electric light globes were set swing
ing. Many attributed the distur-
bance to the wind.
Those who were in the new Graves
hotel say that the shock was percept-
BILE for several seconds, and later the
belief was confirmed that a small
earthquake had visited the town.
The next day brought reports from
Great Falls and Lewistown that
buildings there had been shaken.
The following statement from Great
Falls shows that the shock was gener-
al in this section of the state;
Great Falls, May l5,-An earth
quake shock of several seconds dura-
tion, which was quite severe occurred
here this evening at 9:l5 o'clock.
Buildings in all parts of the city
were shaken and many residents were
so frightened that they ran out of
their houses onto the streets. Bot
ties were Jared from shelves in a
number of buildings, but no damage
of any extent has been reported.
There were apparently three shocks,
which came in such quick succession
that the time elapsing between them
was hardly noticeable. A dispatch
to The Tribune from Havre stated
that distinct shock was felt there
at 9:1O. Buildings shook SO that peo-
pie were frightened, and many ran
out of them The shock lasted only a
few seconds.
A shock was reported to have oc-
Cured at Wagner, Chouteau County
at 9:16 p. m. Buildings rocked, and
the low rumbling sound suggested
the passing of a heavy train. The
disturbance there appeared to run
from north to south, and was OF
about 80 seconds duration.
Saco, Valley County, reported a
shock at 9:l5. Buildings were badly
shaken, but no damage was done
There were two waves, a light one
being followed closely by second
which was heavier, lasting eight OF
nine seconds.
Choteau, Teton County, reported a

leaving Chicago at a. M, and will
run like a greyhound between La
Crosse and Minneapolis. The Mil
waukee will also put on a train that
will leave Minneapolis at 9:45 p. M,
and will arrive in Chicago at 10 a. m.
The Northern Pacific, on May %,
will run the North Coast Limited
through to Chicago and will reduce
the time between Portland and Chi
cago by fifteen to seventeen hours.
On that date the Oriental Limited
of the Great Northern will also take
up the shorter time SCI edule between
the Pacific coast and Chicago"
A big legal battle is also on between
the Northern Pacific and the Union
Pacific, practically between Hill and
Hartman interests. The Interstate
Commerce commission has issued all
order compelling the Northern Pa,
cific to allow through ticketing OH
the Union Pacific at it's Portland ter
minal, over it's lines to Sc title. The
Hill interests Will take an appeal tC
the United States court from this
order, and endeavOr to involve the
order in litigation through the sum
mer, 80 that it will be ineffective
Under the old order the Union Paci
fic passenger west-bound for Seattle
had to transfer and buy another tick
ct at Portland, as the Union Pacific
does not enter the latter city direct.

Young Man Arrested.

Bamberg is getting to be an un-
healthy town for dead-beats. Some
weeks ago a man named Coggins, a
roof painter from Charleston, was in
Bamberg and spent several weeks,
painting roofs. While here he gave
check to Mr.. L. G.. Price which
was no good, and Mr.. Price had him
arrested. The old man had his two
sons with him and they paid the
money and the prosecution was stop
ped and the father released. Some
days later the elder of the young
men was arrested on warrant from
Manning and placed in jail, it being
charged that he jumped his board
bill there. He was carried back to
Manning, but what disposition was
made of the case is not known here
A young man named Cannon has
been here about month, selling en-
larged pictures, we believe, and this
week he was arrested and placed in
jail on the charge of attempting to
swindle the Garland house out of his
board bill. He has been boarding
there for some time, and we under
stand he now owes $500 or more.
His relatives in Sumter have been
communicated with, and it is posi-
BILE, his father may pay the money
and secure his release.

A HOME WEDDING.
Miss Daisy Hartzog and Mr.. Marvin
Arant Happily Married.

A very pretty but simple home
wedding took place at the residence
o. the brides parents, Mir. and Mrs.
J. A. Hartzog, on Ellis avenue. on
Wednesday night, when Miss Daisy
Eiartzog became the happy bride OF
lir. Marvin A. Arant.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. L. P. McGee. The groom was
accompanied by his brother, Mr..
Robert K. Arant, as best man. The
groom is a native of this county and
is a progressive young business man.
For several years he has been engag-
ed in business in this city. Miss
Hartzog has for several sessions been
very successful teacher in the
graded school and Is quite an accom-
plished young lady.
Immediately after the ceremony,
which was witnessed by the imme-
diate families, the happy young
couple took the Southern train for
Asheville, N. c., where they will
spend their honeymoon. They will
then return to this city, where they
will make their future home.-Or-
angeburg Times and Democrat.

Home Mission Meeting.

The July meeting of the Woman's s
Home Mission Society will be held
Tuesday afternoon at $50 o'clock in
the ladies' parlor of the Methodist
church. This months number of
"Our Homes" is principally devoted
to annual reports along with the ap-
propriate subject, ''Thy Kingdom
Come"
The Texas conference has arrang-
ed a home department in connection
with their auxiliaries for the benefit
of the many mothers who for varied
reasons are unable to share in the
activities of the societies. This is an
excellent plan, and we wish our own
auxiliary might adopt it, thus ma
terially broadening our influence.
Under the head of miscellaneous
matter, we gather this thought:
Should the employees of railroads
carry out the instructions of their
superior officers in the same manner
that we respond to the calls of our
superior officers, (for instance to
lend our presence for one short hour
to a religious society meeting) would
our lives be safe on trains? Answer
this simple question with your pres
ence Tuesday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock and encourage the president.

Interesting Document.

A few days ago Col. T. ]. Counts
showed us a most interesting relic
you might call it. 1t was page from
an old ledger, showing some account
sales of cotton bought by the firm of
Counts & Wilson, who were in busi-
ness at that time at Buford's Bridge.
The date of the entries was the fall
of 1869, and the price paid for the
cotton ranged from 29 to 80 cents a
pound. However, a majority of the
bales brought over 80 cents the
pound. 1t is to be hoped that cotton
will bring these prices in this year OF
grace 1909.
This piece of paper has an inter
esting history. 1t was found on the
streets of Bamberg during the same
year the entries were made by Mr..
T. A. Green, who lived here then, but
who is now living in Spartanburg.
He had the paper framed and has
kept it ever since, until short time
ago, when Mr.. D. H. Counts, of Lau-
rens, son of Col. T. J. Counts, was in
Spartanburg and Mr.. Green gave the
paper to him as it was an interesting
relic.

Prosperity as Indicated by the Piano
Business.

If there is any industry which can
be considered as financial barom-
eter it ought to be the piano busi-
ness. The purchase of a piano means
the ultimate investment of consider
ably more money than is required
for the average household article,
and naturally that business is best
when money is easy.
It is interesting, therefore, to note
a statement which comes from one
of the leading musical houses in the
South. A representative of The
Herald called upon Mr.. J. V. Wal
lace, manager of the Cable Piano
Company, at Charleston, S. c., and
in the course of conversation, asked
him for facts concerning present
conditions and future prospects.
Mr.. Wallace spoke as follows:
"Our present business is really re-
markable considering the fact that
the past year has been one of general
dullness throughout the country. A
report comes from our factories at
Chicago and st. Charles, Illinois,
that the product for the present is
oversold, notwithstanding the fate
that they have erected a large addi-
tion to the St. Charles factory, which
makes an increase of $500 pianos
annually to the Cable Company's
output. Our people are 80 closely
in touch with every phase Of the sit
uation that l know that they would
not consider this added investment
unless they saw sure prosperity
ahead"
1--WE are having especially large
demands for Conover and Kingsbury
pianos and for our inner player pi-
amos, although, of course, the other
instruments of our line are doing
very we'll, indeed"
Interviews with business men in
other lines bring expressions similar
to those of Mr.. Wallace, and it is
particularly gratifying to note the
increasing sales of higher priced
articles.

Bamberg's Ball Players.

The junior ball team here chal-
lenged the Bamberg juniors for a Sc
ries of games Monday and Tues
day. Imagine their surprise on
Monday morning when the Bamberg
first nine arrived and whose lineup
showed crack players from Orange
burg, Branchville and Denmark. The
juniors being unable to cope with
this team. the first nine accepted the
challenge and hurriedly collected a
few players about town, but the
game went to the visitors by a score
of 13 to 6. On Tuesday afternoon
the St. George team, strengthened
by Tighe, O'Neil and Hutchinson, of
Summerville, and Fairey, of Orange
burg, again tried the Bamberg boys,
but the game was won by the visitors
by score of 6 to 1. This game was
fast and well ~played.-St. George

ernoon that she was doing as well
az could be expected" Mrs. Charles
D. Bray, of Florence, S. c., who
Jumped from second story window
of that institution yesterday after
noon, died there shortly after eight
o'clock last night. The first informa-
ton of the death of the woman came
from her husband who reached the
city this morning and was then notl-
fed of her death by the officials, who
attempted and did keep the matter
secret from the afternoon papers. A
nurse at the hospital reported that
Mrs. Bray was doing well and had
gone home at the very time that her
body was being shipped to South

Carlisle Fitting School.

The local board of trustees of the
Carlisle Fitting School held meet
ing here last Friday night, at which
DR.. H. N. Snyder, president of Wof-
ford College, and Rev. Chas. B.
Smith, presiding elder of the Or
angeburg district, were present. The
affairs of the school we're thoroughly
discussed, and it can be safely stated
that the school will open this fall,
and upon such a basis as will insure
success. The authorities and the
church at large seem to have taken
up the matter in earnest, and if good
results do not follow we shall be
much disappointed.
Rev. T. G. Herbert was put in
charge for the present, and will con-
duct all the correspondence until the
new Headmaster arrives and assumes
charge of affairs. Several gentlemen
are now in correspondence with the
board, and selection OF a full faculty
will be announced very soon.
