SOC|ETYPARADES
AT STATE FAIR
WEALTH AND BEAUTY OF. MON
TANA, ALWAYS IN EVIL
DENCE AT THE BIG
EXPOSITION.

Talk about Peacock Alley at the
Waldorf" exclaimed an eastern man
in attendance at the state fair last
year pointing to the grandstand, II
never saw a crowd outside of New
port put on so much dog as this
crowd"
1t was an apt remark, and true
one. For the state fair affords the
only time and the only place during
the year when society folk of Hell
>ena. Butte, Missoula, Great Falls
Bozeman, Billings and other cities
can get together. For weeks they
anticipate the event by getting COM
plete new costumes, in which they
blossom forth at the fair. Some of
the smartest society folk even make
special trips east to New York mod
istes to have the new raiment abreas
of the seasons styles.
The society matrons are there, the
bellies and their beaux. Back and
forth they promenade, through the
exhibition halls and into the grand
stand. Much as the actors seem to
enjoy it, it is the ordinary specta-
tors who derive the most pleasure
and amusement from the society
show; the costumes of the women,
the coquetry of the bellies, and the
grandeur of the baux mondee. 1t Is
one OF the real attractions of the
fair which is never advertised.
T. Keen is the rivalry among The
women of the society set of the state
to appear in costumes more chic than
are possessed by any one else. And
if the whisperings are true,the rival
ry is even more bitter this year land
the last week in September will see
Montana's society world blossom
at the fair in the latest creations
OF the modiste's and milliner's arts

JAIL DON'T

PUCKETT STARTS SAME OLD
GAME IMMEDIATELY AFTER
RI!LE.SE.

Thomas Pickett, who created sucih

up by cashing several bad checks.
and getting away with some cloth

and started out doing the same old
stunt all over again.
The Kalispell Journal gives the,
following account Of the mans do
ings after his release from the coun-
ty bastile.
Last Tuesday, one Thomas.
Pickett was cast out upon the mer-
cies Of the cruel world after enjoy
ing the hospitality OF the free coun-
ty hotel for four months. Mr..
Pickett came to Kalispell from the
east and being down on his luck,
forged check on the Whitefish
bank for a paltry sum, which ex-
plains his four months free enter
tainment at the county hotel, some
time in a vulgar sense called the
jail. lookup or coop. Thomas was.
a most agreeable chap. very talka-
tive and grew into the good favor
of those about the Jail. He spent
his time very satisfactorily. read
ing novels and playing on clarinet
and violin. When it came time for
Thomas to leave his happy confine-
ment. he squared his shoulders and
resolved to practice no more what
he considers a fine art, but what
society considers a crime. He enjoy.
ed, for a few days, the hospitality
of local minister's home, by virtue
of his being a minister's son, and
the last of the week secured a room
at private .rooming house on the
east side. Unable to secure work in
Kalispell, Mr.. Pickett left our city
Saturday night for greener fields,
taking with him the clarinet and
violin, which had been loaned to
him by the owners, who lived in
this city. It seems that he found
yet greener fields no farther away
than Columbia Falls. Pickett had
no trouble at all in disposing of
the violin and clarinet for the sum
of twenty dollars and whom should
he sell them to but the kind heart
ed editor of the Columbian. He
drew on his credit in the Conrad
Bank of Kalispell for ten dollars
more from another kind-hearted
business man of Columbia Falls, and
left for the west on the first train.
Sheriff Ingraham made trip to the
Falls this morning and brought back
to their rightful owners, the kind
hearted editors newly acquired in
struments. The sheriff also notified
the towns to the west of the ap-
proach of Mr.. Pickett, the pleasant
son of a Missouri minister, and it
is likely that he will be met by an
appropriate entertainment committee
in whatever city he shall condes-
cend to stop off. There is one thing
about Mr.. Pickett. he doesn't try
to bust the bank upon which he
FORCES his checks, but simply gets
enough to make him a few miles
farther on his way. 1t is very prob
able that we may hear more of this
most interesting Mr.. Pickett in a
few days or weeks. 1t is even posi-
BILE that he may return to the coua-
ty hotel for the winter or longer. "

OTHER STATE OFFICIALS
TAKE OATH.
NO HITCH IN INAUGURATlOh
Ceremonies Marked by Simplicity are

ural Ball a Notable Event.

Madison, Wis.-Dignified simplicity
marked the inaugural of Francis E.
McGOyern Of Milwaukee as governor
of the state on Monday, Jan. 2.
Not a break nor hitch came to mar
the plans which the committee in
charge Of the inauguration ceremonies
had worked out.
From the time Gov. McGovern
reached Madison on the special train
from Milwaukee until the new, gov
ernor had been escorted back to the
executive chamber and surrounded by
friends he was kept busy receiving con-
gratulatiOns, one event in the plans
for the day followed another in rapid
but smooth succession
Gov. McGOyern was accompanied
from Milwaukee by nearly 300 loyal
friends who took the trip to see the
consummatiOn of their labors in the
inaugural ceremonies of the day.
The oath Of office was taken by Gov.
McGOvern and the other incoming state
officers in the assembly chambers at II

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Pensioners Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat in
in the Dark.

Rev Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story Of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge,
of small parish in Vermont. He"
aspired to greater things and a large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command
He was, however, totally unprepareG
for what was intended for a compli~
ment, but which was put to him in,
such a way that it left him in doubt
a. to the real impression he had made
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one Of tho
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are SO in
structive. Do you believe it, we never
knew what sin was until you came to-
the parish"

SAYS LAW is INADEQUATE
State Railway Commission in Report
Asks for More Power Over Stock
and Bond Issue.

Madison.-The annual report of
the state railway commission for the

Among the recommendation are:
That the law in regard to the issue
Of stocks and bonds be amended so
as to give the commission more power
over railroad and public service cor
porations
That it should be empowered to
ascertain if the issues Of bonds and
stocks are within the statute, and
whether or not the amounts are
reasonable for the purposes for which
taey are to be issued.
That the present law in regard to
grade crossings be more specific; that
the state make an appropriation to
pay its share Of the cost of mainten-
a1ce of crossings, or that the act be
amended to exempt the state from
paying it's share of the cost.
In reference to the elevation of
tracks IN Milwaukee the commission
reported that negotiations were going

CASH BOX is WELL FILLED
Badger State Treasury in Good Shape
to Meet Appropriation Demands
of the Legislature.

MadisOn.--With a showing of al
most 100000 better than a year
ago, Wisconsin's state treasury opens
its books for 1911 with fair prospects
OF getting along nicely, depending, Of
course, on what the legislature does
in the way Of conservatiOn-or other
Wise-of financial resources. Par
ticularly we'll fortified, as compared
with last year, are the general fund
che school fund, the hunting license
fund, oil inspection fund, state insur-
ance fund and the forest reserve
fund.
The general fund is exactly $345,-
020.71 to the good, compared with
last year, and the school fund S14,-
6S6.91 better, while the university
and other school funds generally
show poorer balances
The university fund, with it's bal
ance Of only S8,001.04, will not last
more than a few minutts when the
next pull is made upon it, and as the
hope of replenishment through regu-
lar sources will not be bright until
along about February some time,
when the counties get ready to make
their remittances, something will
have to be dne for the interim.
The game warden's fund seems
vigorous, with $163,882.37 on the
credit side, some $4,000 better than
year ago, and a bright year in pros
pect.
There are a number of balances,
nine altogether, that are the same for
1910 as for 1909. These have main
tanned this relation .cf equality for
many years, one dating back to 1854
They have been carried forward on
the books from year to year, I'M
touched by warrant of any kind or
the ruthless hand of time. Treasurer
Dahl will recommend to the ltgis-
lature that these be converted to the
general fund by legislative act, thus
clearing the record.

NEW USE OF scHOOLHOUsEs

The great success of the series Of
free lectures which are being given
in the various public school buildings
In Milwaukee by one of the most noted
teachers of cooking in the world. is
gratifying to those who believe in
utilizing the school houses for the
benefit of the people. The thousands
of women and girls who have attended
the lectures have necessarily learned
great deal that they never knew
before about housekeeping, says the
Milwaukee Journal. They have heard
crisp, practical talks about marketing,
about cooking, about keeping the house
clean and healthful and about economy
In the household management. They
have learned things which will help
them to achieve somewhat better re-
suits at a somewhat smaller outlay Of
money. They have profted by person
al contact with woman who is a
mistress of domestic science. Their
families will enjoy better cooking and
will gain the advantage of little saw
Ing here and there. The city. as a
whole, will profit through some i'm
proVement in household hygiene. The
current lectures on cooking, the ex-
pense Of which is betrayed by private
capital, shows the great demand for
one use OF the schoolhouses-tha of
capable instructions in household man
Rgement Several civic clubs, through
the use of school buildings for the
purpose, are showing what can be
done IN the way of enlightening the
people in the way of public affairs.
Next month the Journal proposes, by
giving a series of ten public moving
picture shows of high order, to dem
onstrate what can be done in the way
of providing wholesome public amuse-
ment in the schoolhouses.
