Butte.-Mrs. Maggie Doherty, aged
CT, a native of Minnesota and a resi-
dent of Silver Bow county for a num-
Der of years, died early in St. James
hospital of pneumonia.
But little is known about her early
life except hal her name was Maggie
Sweeney and that a fortune was spent
on her musical education. An eccles-
iastic furnished the money that made
it possible for her to have her voice
cultivated by one of the greatest ten
ors Of the day. She was also one Of
the great pianists of the country.
About 20 years ago she was married
to David Doherty, but the union was
not a happy one and a divorce was
the result. Mrs. Doherty's end came
in restitution. She had been removed
to the hospital from the county poor
farm.

FAME AND FORTUNE OFFERED
the Long-Sought Cure for
tuberculosis.

DR.. George w. Bloomer of Yale uni
versity, acting as spokesman for an
anonymous giver, has announced that
a prize of $1,000 has been set aside,
to be awarded to the first person any
where in the world who discovers a
cure for tuberculosis. The gift is un-
conditional as to time, place, or kind
of cure, the only real condition being
that the new cure must have been in
constant use at least five years, and
that the promoter of the cure con-
vince the investigating board of the
merits of his discovery.
A large number of physicians have
been working for years to perfect vac
cine, or anti-toxin for tuberculosis, or
to find some agent, such as tuberculin,
which will assist in the cure of the dis
ease. Thus far, the experiments have
not furnished a product which will
either absolutely cure or prevent con-
sumption, or render the patient i'm
mune against the disease. Many of
these serums have proved effective in
increasing the resistance of the pa
tient and thus helping in the cure, but
no scientist of repute to-day claims to
have discovered a tuberculin which
will produce cure without the COM
bined aid of fresh air, rest and whole
some food.

Ghesireh palace. He opened his
house and the grand balls of Sheedy
Pasha, as he was known, became IA
nous. For five years he ran the
Ghesireh palace, which was the for
mer home of Ismael Pasha.
Sheedy was the man who restored
the famous Gainsborough Duchess Of
-Devonshire" portrait to the world of
art, after it had been stolen and
missing for rs years.
The picture had been bought by c..
Morland Agnew at an auction sale for
$4,000. and arrangements had been
made to have a celebrated engraver
makesa plate. Some $4,000 had been
subscribed toward the project when
the English public was astonished and
Mortified with the news that thieves
had broken into the house where the
portrait was kept and had cut it out
of the frame.
And all trace was lost for 26 years.
To be sure. detectives had become
convinced that Adam Worth, one OF
the most inventive and daring thieves
of modern times. had engineered the
theft and controlled the portrait, but
nothing had come of it. Incidentally
however, the detectives had asked
Sheedy to, assist in bringing about
the restoration of the portrait. If the
occasion offered.
Another thing which will make
Sheedy remembered in the police and
criminal world is the fact he was the
man who engineered the escape of Ed
die Guerin from DEVILS island in the
French penal colony of the coast Of
Africa.
Guerin was a Chicago product and
achieved international fame as a banl
thief. confidence man, and all around
crook. Finally the French police au
thorities caught hold of him and SEN
him to the famous African prison
island.
So far as known Sheedy was moved
by no motive except pity for tn,
American. At any rate, he accom-
plished the impossible and planned
matters so cleverly that Guerin go
away from the island. made his wa,
to the mainland and finally got to civ

SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to talk
the c. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop, the
system of summer following pursued
in the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with sort of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got a few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have look at
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore Git is curious how these mid

"Can'dy")-"but if 1t looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
"You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa-quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been go
ing on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for 1t. and
every farm that's offered Is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us $11 and $12, so
that a man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
1T isn't the money, though, that
brings most of US up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough
The invasion is family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to gel
| work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with US, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around US, on homesteads OF
bought land. This makes 1t easier fol
the farmers back there in Iowa to ge
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are KEEP
together and the families that blu,
the farms they leave are kept to
gether, too There won't be any slack
ening of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back in Iowa."
One could almost see the menta
process of this typical American farm
er in defending a step that meant
new flag, a new allegiance, a new
land, and new associates. To abar
don Old Glory of the Declaration O
Independence for a good thing Il
cheap land would hardly be playin
