VERDICT OF $500 IN FAVOR OF
MRS. KATIE REED.

Carter Reed took out a policy for
$500 on his life in one of the insur-
ance companies of the city in favor
of his wife, Katie Reed. All the
premiums were paid but the last one
on which there remained due $1.43.
Mrs. Reed did not have all the money
when the agent called to collect so
the agent took $3.50 and receipted
for it and said he would call later
for the balance. Agent did not call
again until the day of the death of
Mr.. Reed, then would not receive the
balance: and the company refused TO
pay claiming the policy was forfeited
and lapsed. A lawyer brought suit
and claimed that the policy was not
forfeited or lapsed, but was in force
and that the company through its
agent had waived the contract, ex-
tended time and given credit. The
case went to a jury on the instruc-
tions of the court, Judge Perry, on
the law, and the jury gave Mrs.
Reed a verdict for $500 and interest,
upholding Lawyer Townsend's view OF
the law.

LAKESIDE PARK.

Perhaps nowhere in the history of
summer amusement parks have there
been staged the big free spectacles
that have taken place at Lakeside.
All of Denver and thousands of tour
lists will long remember THE Wrath
of War" and The Battle of Santi-
ago. as productions far out of the
ordinary. IvT
Saturday and Sunday nights, under
the direction of Mr.. Seth C. Bailey
who conceives and produces these at
fractions, will be staged THE Erup-
tion of Mount Pelee,'' the most appall
ing catastrophe in the history of the
western empire. This will be by far
the biggest and most elaborate spec
tacle yet given in the park and will
depict in vivid and realistic manner
st. Pierre, which was before its des-
truction perhaps the most beautiful OF
all West Indian cities, with its pretty
houses nesting at the foot of the
verdure covered cliffs, and the bril-
liant coloring of the town reflecting
the perfect blue of the Caribbean.
Then will be seen the eruption and
the destruction of the city, in which
thousands and tens of thousands, OF
men, women and children were
choked or charred in the quickest
holocaust in the history of the world.
The performance, which will be
seen by every visitor at the park
without extra charge, will take place
during the first theatre intermission,
probably between $50 and 9:45
Lakeside's many entertainments,
boating, rides, shows, etc, continue
to draw the crowds. Since the hot
weather set in many picnic parties
may be seen daily enjoying them
selves in the various shady hooks

his partner and cousin, E.H.Lee, was
marries in Los Angeles, CAL, a short
time ago to Miss Margant Lum
According to the Chinese custom
the groom changes his name also

sion until the announcement Of the

newly weds expect to arrive in Malta

WOMAN'S CLUB.

One Of the most enjoyable meet
.ings of the year for the Womnn's
club took place Saturday afternoon
at the Congreg gational church, Mes
danes Chase, Thompson and Runge
being the hostesses. The peculiarly
pleasing feature was a practical de-
monstration of cooking along do
mestic science lines by Mrs. Chase
and Mrs Runge Plain and elabor-
ate menus for luncheons, together
with the proper linen and silver ap-
pointments, We're thoroughly dis
cussed; and this was further illus
trated by a table arranged for such
an occasion for the inspection of the
club
Several receipts were given, and
in addition were prepared and cook
ed before the assembled ladies,
proving to be triumphs of the culi-
nary ability of the demonstrators
They formed a delicious portion of
the luncheon which was served at
the close OF the meeting, and elicit
ed the sincere praise of all those
present. Much credit is due the la
dies for the trouble it took to give
such perfect demonstrations. 1t is
safe to say that no large club of the
largest cities in the state can sur
pass the Malta club in the practical
work essayed and accomplished this
year.
The Malta Club will observe
Consumers Week, April 3rd to 9th,
in compliance with suggestions
which have been received from the
State Federation of Woman's clubs.
and in harmony with Gov Stewards s
proclamation. The movement was
originated by club women to pro-
mote and upbuild home industries
and has received official recognition
from the governors of six states.
The general purpose is to encourage
the purchasing of goods made by
home manufacturers; and is a boost
to the increased prosperity of the
community and the state.
The county library was thorough
ly discussed, as it is being backed
by the Woman's club, the details of
which are given elsewhere in this is
sue.
AS the club is raising funds for it's
various civic and charitable enter
prises. it has been divided into four
sections, each of which has chosen
it's own method for the purpose. Ac-
cordingly the first section has an
nounced an afternoon sewing and
card party to be given on Saturday,
March 25, at the lodge rooms in the
old school building. Refreshments
will also be served.
The next regular meeting of the
Woman's club will occur on April
1st, with Mrs. Flint, Mrs. Cooper
and Mrs. McKone as hostesses.

COUNTY LIBRARY.

Phillips county will soon have a
fine county library if the efforts of
number of public spirited citizens
and the Malta Wonans club turn
out we'll A number of petitions
have been circulated in Malta and
several other portions of the county,
ana have been enthusiastically
signed wherever received. Accord
ing to the library law passed by the
last Montana legislature, after
twenty per cent Of the voters have
signed these petitions, they are to
be presented to the county COM
missioners, who will pass on the es-
tablishment of the library Branch
libraries can be established where
ever wanted in the county and
books can be sent by mail. This
will greatly benefit the county
schools, which find certain books
which they need hard to procure,
and is step in the right direction
for the reading public of the coun-
try.
Phillips county is the second to
thus look out for library facilities,
an enviable honor as against the
older counties of the state. Fort
benton is the only one so 1af equip
ped according to the recent law,
and their library has proved to be a
biz success, and much in demand in
all parts of their county.
The arrangement will be under
the control of the county commits
sioners, and the library maintained
by county funds. 1t will take very
little to keep it up, and is merely
nominal in cost. The Malta Wom-
ans club. which founded and has
maintained for years past the pres
ent town library. will donate nearly
nine hundred volumes if the petit
tions prove successful. This alone
would give the new library a fine
start. All farmers, who have eX-
pressed their views on the project,
are J nthusiastic on the point, as
this will place good reading matter
within their reach, which many
could not afford to buy. 1t will also
be of incalcuable benefit to rural
school children. and should receive
every ones cordial support
