The Roundup celsbr alton in this

of its kind in local history. It at
tracted a crowd Of v:e!tors that vas

bration has moi been excelled on any
former occasion.
The visitors were q jolly, good ma.
tured crowd. They received the true
western welcome that was promised,
and entered heartily into the spirit Of
the occasion. 1t was roundup style
throughout the dav-a revival of Gus

mated At from 1900 to $500; the
man sgement OF .he roundup dinner

points. The Great Falls people-to

OF old.time stockmen, cowboys, girls
in roundup costume, and other fea-

"WITHIN THE LAW"

One of the genuine treats of the
local theatrical season is foreshadow-
ed in the announcement that with
in the Law" Bayard Veiller's alb
sorbing new play of modern Ameri-
can life which is the dramatic sensa-
tion of the year in New York and
Chicago, is to be presented by the
American Play Co. at the Lyric on
Monday, August %.
This deservedly successful drama,
which has been critically commended
as possessing the most engrossing
human interest story given the stage
in a decade, has for it's central
character, pretty and quick-witted
young woman who is falsely accused
and wrongfully convicted of stealing
from her employer. She serves
three years in prison, comes out de-
termined to Ego straight" is be-
trayed time and time again by the po-
lice, and finally is forced to abandon
the effort to honestly earn a liveli-
hood and live by her wits.
She prospers by the use of many
ingenious devices, outswindles
swindlers, conducts a blackmailing
operation on perfectly legal lines,
fortifies herself against police inter-
ference by effective lawful defence
and, in short, preys upon society at
will as a law-breaker but remains
herself always within the law" At
last she revenges herself upon the
man who sent her unjustly to prison
by Turing his son into marriage.
And then, of course, she falls in love
with him.
within the Law employs the
services of one of the most careful
ly selected and evenly balanced act
ing organizations gathered in many
seasons and the elaborate scenic pro-
duction provided by the American
Play Company, producers of the play.

Washington. March 4.-The "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" which Woodrow
Wilson requested should be observed
in every detail Of his Inauguration as
president did not apply to the inaugu-
raj parade, for it was as elaborate as
such an affair usually ia. The people
wanted it so, and they showed their
appreciation OF the spectacle by turn
ing out by the hundred thousand and
cheering wildly as the marchers pass
ed with bands playing loudly and flags
waving bravely.
The newly inaugurated president re-
viewed the procession and smiled his
approval as he returned the salutes Of
the commanding officers, for all the
glittering show had been arranged in
his honor. Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to the White House, was
full of color, music and movement.
People Enjoy the Sight.
The inhibition of the inaugural ball
and of the planned public reception at
the capitol had no effect as a bar to
the attendance at this ceremony of

Victory had come to a party which
had known nothing like victory for a
good many years. The Joy of posses
sion found expression in steady and

occasions, was impressive mi bril-

The regulars Of the country's two

Of way. Maj. Gen. w. w. Wother-

command Of the first division, in
which marched the soldiers and sailors
and marines from the posts and the
navy yards within a days ride OF
Washington. The West Point cadets
and the midshipmen from the naval
academy at Annapolis, competent be-
yond other corps in manual and In
evolution, the future generals and ad-
mirals Of the army, had place In the
first division.
All branches Of the army service
were represented in the body of regu-
lars-engineers. artillery. cavalry, in
fantry and signal corps. The sailors
and marines from half a dozen battle
ships rolled along smartly in the wake
of their landsmen brethren.
The National Guard division follow
ed the division of regulars. 1t was
commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert L..
Mills, United States army, who wore
the medal of honor given him for con-
spicuous personal gallantry at the bat
tie of San Juan hill. General Mills Is
the chief of the militia division of the

The entire National Guard of New
Jersey was in line, and Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts,, Maryland, Virginia,
Georgia, Maine and North Carolina
were represented by bodies Of civilian
soldiers. Cadets from many of the
private and state military schools Of
the country had a place in the militia

The third division of the parade was
composed of Grand Army Of the Re-
