HELENA, MONT.
By j. E. w. Clarke.

Perhaps 1t was right to dissemble
your love,
But why did you kick me downstairs"
Mrs. Julia Young and Miss Pearl
Rodgers, sisters, are the latest con-
querors of the flu. They were i'll
for several weeks but are able to be
about again. . Rev. Isaiah s. Wilson,
formerly pastor of st. James A. M. E.
Church of this city, is recuperating
at Fresno, Calf. From a letter re-
ceived in Helena recently, he is rap
idly recovering his health which for
more than two years had been pre-
carious. .... .Sergt. Joseph Claggett,
retired, formerly of the 10th Cavalry,
was flirting with influenza last week,
but gave it up as a bad job and is
not looking for other engagements of
a like character . Rev. George F.
Martin returned last week from a
short visit to Kansas City, Mo-.
We are very sorry, indeed, our old
friend, c. F. Jones, who made such a
valiant fight on the legislative ticket
with the Republicans in Silver Bow
county, failed to muster sufficient
votes to take him over the top. 1t
would have been a glorious occasion,
and given us considerable prestige
for present and future labors in the
political field. Try it again, brother!
80. First Sergt. Philip Chestnut, re-
tired, contracted the flu, but is re.
covering 80. Helena people are con-
graduating themselves over the good
news filtered through several chan
nels to us that Miss Carlotta V. Ford,
who received a government appoint
ment at Washington, d. c., some time
ago is making good, as we knew she
would. Montana stock has advanced
another point. Helena is in receipt
of sad news of the death of Mrs.
Marian Brooks of Seattle, Wash, wife
of Jessie Brooks, formerly of this city.
Mrs. Brooks death was caused by
double pneumonia, contracted after
having given birth to a child a week
before. She was a native of Seattle
and before marriage her maiden name
was Washington. Mr.. Brooks is a
nephew of Mrs. Edward Johnson of
our city. -. Mrs. Elmer Dixon (nee
Miss Minerva Greenlee) passed thru
Helena last Sunday, the 10th, en- route
from Big Sandy to the East. Many OF
her former friends were at the station
to greet her. . Mrs. Edward Johnson
left for Seattle last week to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Jessie Brooks. e.
Over in Anaconda a Colored man was
elected constable OF the Democratic
ticket. They call him Rabbit" HI
