Asylum Investigated.

The Butte Good Government club
of Butte has investigated conditions
at the state asylums at Warm Springs
and finds that institutions in good
condition. The report Of the commit
tee, of which Mrs. II. n. Kennedy was
the head, exonerated the asylum of
charges that had been made by mem
bers Of the club, and which resulted in
the investigation.
In making the report Mrs. Kennedy
said: "It is unwise for us to arrive
at conclusions without investigating
for ourselves. l have changed my
viewpoint very materially and the of
officials told me I'm just agitation was
harmful to the institution.' At an
earlier meeting of the club Mrs. Ken
edv had commented adversely on con-
ditions at Deer Lodge and it was
largely at her instance that a commit
tee was appointed to investigate asy-
lum conditions.

FIRST WHITE WOMAN
IN STATE A FUGITIVE
MRS. HENRY MILLER ESCAPED
FROM RELATIVES IN UTAH
TO JOIN HUSBAND.

The first white woman to take up
a residence in Montana was Mrs. Hen
ry Miller, a fugitive from Utah,
whence her husband had fled some
time before to escape the wrath Of
her Mormon relatives. The Millers
were married at Ogden in 1854, but
the husband incurred the enmity of
the brides people. He fled to Fort
Hall, Idaho, in fear of violence at
their hands.
Mrs. Miller's relatives tried to per-
suade her to become the spiritual wife
Of an old Mormon who already had
three wives, but she refused her con
sent. She was told, according to her
story, that she would never see her
husband again and that he would be
killed if he appeared. Through friends
in Utah, Miller succeeded in commu
nicating with his wife and aided her
in planning her escape. She joined
him at Fort Hall.
A few days after the reunion of the
couple, DIR. Lansdale, agent for the
Flatheads and the Pend d'Oreilles, on
his way back from Salt Lake to
Jocko, Montana, stopped at Fort Hall
and engeged Miller and his wife to go
to Jocko to keep house for him.
Thus Mrs. Miller became the first
white oma to make her home in
what was to be Montana. She and
her husband stayed at Jocko for one
year, when the two went to Walla
Walla.

To Wash Blankets.

An easy way to wash new blankets
is to first shake them to free them
from any loose dust. Take the neces-
sary cold water, to which add one-half
pound of baking soda dissolved. Soak
all night, and next morning wash out
in the usual way. 1t will be found
that they will wash with half the la
Dor and half the soap.

A meeting of the Great Falls Wom-
ans club was held last week which
was of interest as indicating what this
large club is doing. During the w.
C. 7. U. convention held in that city,
the club assisted in securin" rooms for
the accommodations Of delegates. In
the early part of the summer the club
offered a prize for the best flower
garden and a letter of thanks from the
winner, Virginia Murphy, the little
girl who won the prize, was read. The
letter greatly pleased the club women
and more work of this nature will I'M
doubtedly be undertaken next year.
Mrs. H. B. Mitchell, one of the mem
bers and a past president of the state
federation, gave a report of her trip
to the biennial national federation at
New York City. Mrs. w. NJ. Tread
well who was a delegate to the state

subject of "a Commission Form of
Government" and the women voted to
take it up as an educational subject.

Missoula Women Politicians.

IT'S said Mlssoula takes the cake
for the number of women who are
running for office. Headed by Jean
nette Rankin for congress, the list is
as follows: Mrs Mable Kinney Hall,
candidate on the republican ticket for
county treasurer; Mrs. Mable Evan
son is on the ballot for republican
county auditor; Miss Mabel Linstock
on the democratic ticket, completes
against Miss Mary Shull, present in
cumbent, for county superintendent.
Missoula also has one of the very few
deputy sheriff's of the state, Mrs. Pri-
ella Miles. A former Missoula wom-
an is deputy sheriff of Cascade coun-
ty, Mrs. Mary Hansen. And in spite
Of the fact that each of these women
but one are running on the republican
ticket, there is a strong Women's Will
son club in Missoula to which many
prominent women belong.

Alice in Wonderland" The Merry

own against such books as "A Gentle

books in all are on that shelf, every
