WARREN 0. Smith
INFLUENZA VICTIM
Glasgow Druggist Who Left Here
Two Weeks Ago Died at Jeffer-
son Barracks.

A telegram bearing the sad news
of the death of Warren O. Smith
shocked his many friends here last
Monday. Only two weeks ago this
popular young Glasgow druggist left
for Plentywood where he entrained
with the Sheridan quota for Jeffer-
son Barracks, Missouri, where he was
assigned to special limited service.
Word received from him stated that
everything was lovely and the wire
announcing his death was stunning
blow to his friends.
Mr.. Smith purchased a share of the
Owl Drug company from Paul Vorn-
holt last January and for a few
months the business went under the
name of Vornholt & Smith. Later
Mr.. Smith sold his share t, Elmer
Hall and except for a brief absence
when he was called to his home in
Canada by the death of his mother
he has been on duty at the Owl.
Since coming here he has made a
large circle of friends. In his place
of business it was always pleasure
to be waited upon by this always smil.
ing and always courteous young man
whose pleasing qualities gave him q
welcome place in Glasgow soon afte,
his arrival.

FRED TRUSC0TT PASSES

After Putting up a Stiff Fight Against
Death Glasgow Native Son
Passes Away.

All week Glasgow people have beer
hoping against hope that Fred Trus-
colts condition might not be so bad
as the kilograms stated, but just as
we were ready to 60 to press this
morning the sad news came over the
wire that he died at six o'clock last
night.
Fred entrained for jefferson Bar.

and was taken sick with Spanish in.

AS he had formerly had trouble with
one lung his condition was grave from
the start. His mother and sister, Mrs
Ruth DEWEY, left for St. Louis the
first of the week, and in response to
another message that he was worse
his father departed on No. yester-
day morning.
No word can express the sadness
that falls on the community at the
time of the death of a native son of
Glasgow who has spent practically
his whole life here.

breath DR.. Lanstrum's Swedish an
cestry and the friendship Sweden has
manifested for the unspeakable Hun
during the present war. Governor
Stewart said DR.. Lanstrum's father
came to America from Sweden when
youth, about the time of the Civil
war, but he failed to say also that he
fought through the Civil war as a
soldier in the Union army.
The governor criticised DR.. Lam
strum's political record by saying that
it has been inconsistent. In so doing
he produced the evidence which
brands his denunciation as false, be-
cause DR.. Lanstrum and The Record
Herlad, Of which he is the principal
stockholder, have always been Repub-
lican.
DR.. .Lanstrum was criticised by the
governor because he is not in the army

legal training, who are now perform
ing the duties of military judges in
the army because of shortage of
lawyers upon the staff of the Judge

The governors attempts to show
that DR.. Lanstrum sought the support
of the Nonpartisan league is tissue
of out and out falsehood. Neither
DR.. Lanstrum nor any one represent
ing him has ever made any effort to
secure such support. The governor
himself, however, addressed a Non
partisan league convention in Great
Falls last winter and was most care
full to say nothing which would offend
any one connected with that organ
ization.
Governor Stewards praise of Sena-
tor Walsh was fulsome. He made no
reference to the record of B. K
Wheeler as United States district at
torney, nor to the statement given out
by the latter at the time of his res
ignation, to the effect that he was
in withdrawing -"actuated by desire
not to injure Senator Walsh's chances
for reelection" He made no reference
to Senator Walsh's intention of
"standing by" Wheeler if the latter
did not voluntarily withdraw, even
though the people of Montana had
been protesting for year at his re-
tention in office, and charging him
with inefficiency, negligence and be-
ing in sympathy with the agitators
who have caused all the labor troubles
in Butte during the last year or moro

sling championship of Montana. He
will carry it unenvied.

SUBSTITUTES IN VALLEY
COUNTY ARE CHEAPER
Prices in Hill, Blaine, Phillips. and
Cascade Are All Higher Than
Those in Our County.

The fair price committee in Valley
county has received lists of the prices
of flour substitutes in five of the
neighboring counties, and by compar-
ison of the various prices quoted it
is evident that the prices in this coun-
ty are lower than in any of the others.
The following paragraphs give the
prices quoted in the five counties:
Hill-barley, &c; rye flour, not quot

TOOK PROPER ACTION.

We understand that considerable
criticism has been made of the local
city and county health officials for
their action in closing schools and
churches, as well as certain places of
business. The writer has been over
a greater portion of the district in
this state which is being swept by the
dread epidemic of Spanish influenza,
and no man who has been where the
disease is rampant will find fault with
our officials in the action they have
taken. In practically every commun-
ity where the disease has secured a
good hold, deaths have been numer-
Gus, while up to date, Glasgow has
had but one death attributable to
Spanish influenza. We believe that
this has been due to the prompt &C.
ton taken by County Health Officer
J. C. Simpkins and Mayor Matt Muir

barrels of cure.

GLASGOW CITY WATER
THOROUGHLY EXAMINED
WILD REPORTS TELLING OF NUMEROUS TY-
PHO1D GERMS IN CITY WATER ARE UN-
FOUNDED, ALTHOUGH ANALYSIS SHOWS
SOME BACTERIA PRESENT.

All sorts of rumors as to the polu-
luton of the Glasgow water with ty-
phoid germs have been circulated
during the past week. A recent anal
ysis of the city water shows that the
water is not in a bad condition but
in three samples, taken from drink
ing fountains, it has been shown that
a percent of bacteria exists.
On September 16, samples of the
city water were collected from the
water fountain in the court house, the
one at the high school, at the drink
ing fountain at End avenue and North
7th street, and at the fountain at 4th
avenue south and w street. These
samples collected by Mr.. H. j. Huges,
were sent to Bozeman to the depart
ment of public health, where and in
vestigation was authorized by DR.. w.
F. Cogswell, secretary of the state
board.
The mineral properties of the water
are all that could be desired but it is
noted that the sanitary examination
of the three samples gave unsatisfac-
tory results. That being the case it
would be wise for Glasgow people to
boil water used for drinking purposes
until further examination is made.
In the report sent back to Glasgow
the laboratory director makes the fol-
lowing Interpretation of results of
the analysis:
"There are evidences of contamina-
tion in all three samples. It will be
noted that all samples for the bacter-
biological analysis were collected from
drinking fountains. Such fountains
are subject to rather peculiar circum-
stances, and are apt to be contaminat-
ed by the drinker.
ut seems, therefore, that such
samples would not represent the true
character Of the water of this supply.
It is suggested that when further
samples are made the samples be ia
ken from ordinary taps that are in
constant use."
The city officers have taken advan-
tage of the above suggestion and fresh
samples were sent in to the laborator-
les this week.

ALL GLASGOW
fighting FLU"
School Teachers Working Night
and Day at Hospitals to
Save Lives.
SEVERAL SLACKERS ON BLACK LIST
About Twenty five Cases Are Report.
ed in Town Yesterday.-Malta
Is in Grip of Disease.

Although most of the women of
Glasgow have been splendid when
called upon for service there are a
few slackers who refuse to save lives
on the plea that they have to clean the
attic, or that their husbands are on
a diet.
The scarcity of nurses in Glasgow
makes the danger from the Spanish
influenza much greater, and to help
alleviate the suffering the school
teachers have been working night and
day at the:various hospitals; and all
deserve great praise for the tremen-
dous amount of good they are doing.
A few months ago the Red Cross
offered special courses in care of the
sick and hygiene. About forty or fif-
ty women took the course but for var
ious petty reasons large numbers of
these women repeatedly refuse to
render help when their services may
be the means of saving on or more
lives.
At the Deaconess hospital five of
the nurses are very sick with the
"flu" and are quarantined at the
nurses home. The superintendent,
Miss Clark, has been trying to be
in about six places at once and when
an urgent call came from Malta last
night saying that people there were
dying like flies she was compelled to
go there as the lack of nurses is
more serious even than in Glasgow.
Miss Vornholt, superintendent of the
General hospital, is especially ill and
two of her assistants are also unable
to work. Many of the business girls
are helping there, as we'll as the other
hospitals and although inexperienced
have been giving much needed aid.

Regarding the minerals in the wat
err the report continues: "a mineral
analysis was made of sample of
Glasgow city water. That analytical
data is included with this report. It
is to be noted that the total solids
representing the mineral matter in
solution are 1854 parts per million
parts of water. This is not an excess
sive amount of mineral matter in So
luton for ground water in the neigh
borhood of Glasgow. In fact it should
be understood that underground wat
ers usually contain more mineral sub
stances in solution than surface wat
ers in the same region. One would,
therefore, not expect to find in the
vicinity of Glasgow an underground
water containing less mineral water
than shown in this analysis.
ut should be noted that the water
has high lime and magnesium con-
tent. On this account the water pos
sesses high degree of hardness. In
fact the hardness is 1852 parts of cal
cium carbonate per million parts of
water. This, no doubt, makes the
water undesirable for laundry use be-
cause hard waters decompose soap. A
hard water is difficult to use in the
laundry on this account. A good
household water softener to use with
this water would be trisodium phos-
phate. Two teaspoonfuls of this
chemical added to five gallons of wat
er will precipitate the major portion
of the lime and magnesium and soften
the water for laundry use and for
dishwashing and for use in the bath.
In using this chemical in the laundry
it would be desirable not to allow the
softener to come in contact with the
clothes. The softener should be dis
solved and added to the laundry water.
The water softened with trisodium
phosphate should not be used for
drinking. This chemical imparts caus-
tic alkalinity to water and, therefore,
water of this character is not desir-
able for drinking.

The entire state of Montana was
shocked Wednesday morning to learn
that the head Of the state government,
Notwithstanding the fact that prac-
tically the entirI state has been plac-
ed under quarantine in order to pre-
vent the spread of the dread disease,
influenza, which has been taking such
heavy toll during the past few weeks
over the state, had journeyed to
Bozeman, where one of the large stu
dent army training camps are located,
and had there addressed a large aud
ience of citizens and students, direct
ly contrary to the requests of the
state health board and local health
boards from over the state.
At the time Governor Stewart was
delivering his talk he knew that DR..
Lanstrum was on his way to the nor
thern part of the state to assist in
every way he could, to stamp out the
influenza epidemic, having volunteer
ed his services to the state health
board and having called off his cam
paign work until the epidemic was
under control.
Commenting on the speech the Rec
ord-Herald says:
There are in America great COVER
nors of states, and governors of great
states. Monday night the governor of
a great state, Sam V. Stewart, saw fit
to hold at Bozeman what was perhaps
the only political meeting which will
be held in Montana during the pres
ent campaign, for the purpose of CIV
ing utterance to his prejudiced opin-
ions in reference to the candidacy of
DR.. o. M. Lanstrum, Republican can
didate for the United States senate
A frank discussion o. political issues
was undoubtedly too much to expect.
That the members of DR.. Lanstrum's s
family belong to the Catholic church
and he himself is Mason of high de-
gree, is matter in which the public
of Montana has not the slightest in
terest.
In view of the acrimony engendered
during the campaign of "a years ago
every citizen of Montana had hoped
that never again in this state would
a candidates religious beliefs become
the subject of public discussion dur
ing political campaign. This ques,
tion must ever remain with the in.
dividual conscience and it is too sa.
cred to be banded by political spell.
binders. It is most regrettable that
the governor of this great common
wealth, in his efforts to elect Senator
Walsh, should permit himself to be.
come blinded to the proprieties.

| The governor says that newspa-
per called "The Menace" has referred
to the religious views Of the two can
didates for the senatorship. He ap-
parently forgets that two years ago
this same paper differentiated be-
tween Stewart and his opponent,
Frank J. Edwards, in the same vein.
No one charged the governor with
responsibility nor was he heard to re-
pudiate it's publication. Yet he now
charges DR.. Lanstrum with response
bility for something with which he
knows he has no connection.
It matters not that Governor Stew
art attributes, as he says, the charge
to "fool friends" of DR.. Lanstrum.
Aside from a sense of common decen-
cy, the dignity Of his high office
should prevent him from giving it fur
ther circulation. AS a matter of fact,
it is rumored that the matter was first
discussed by agents of DR.. Lanstrum's
political enemies in order to give Gov
ernor Stewart the opportunity to dis
cuss the matter from the platform.
