CATTLE MEl STRICTLY IN IT
bhe Chicago Market Has Been Boom
lag This Week--eet Price. of
the Season.
An Old Timer Tells of the Pricem
Realised flr Montana Cattle
Tear Ago.
The cattle shipping season is now
fairly well under way and it becomes
more and more evident that notwith
standing the stimulating effect of primes
on the Chicago market, which arehigher
than those obtained for several years, the
cattle shipments from northern Montana
will not be nearly as large as last year's
shipments. The hard times of last year
caused the cattlemen to send to market
about everything from their herds which
would sell at any price in order to raise
cash and the result is that there are not
the cattle in the country this year to
ship. The Chicago market Monday of
this week showed Montana cattle bring
ing as high as $1.10 per hundred The
great scarcity of corn-fed cattle has
compelled the buyers to look to fat
range cattle as a substitute, and fortu
nately Montana cattle this year are in
excellent condition. The cattlemen are
not grumbling these days over
the returns received. The poor
sheepman, however, has little to be
thankful for. Considerable money is
now coming into the local banks
of this city as a result of the cat
tle shipments. R. S. Ford, president of
the Great Falls National hank and an
old cattle man said to TilE TRIu'ICI.
yesterday that while the present prices
on the Chicago market were the best
obtained for several years they did not
begin to touch the prices obtained in
the palmy days of the cattle business.
In reply to a question as to the best
tigure he remembered for Montana cat
tie, he said that Dan Flowerree sold a
bunch on the Chicago market in 18i3
which brought him over 880 a head.
He did not remember just what the
average weight was but the price was
over 8. a hundre. In 1885 Mr. Fourd
got 85 a hundred for cattle on the
market. Hie had a small bunch on the
market last Wedaeeday which sold for
84.10. Mr. Ford was of the opinion that
the shipments this year would be con
siderably lighter than last year, but that
fat cattle would bring even better prices
than those now quoted before the sea
son ended.
ACCIH)IENT AT MALTA.
A Freight Conductor Killed by Ileing
Struck by a Bridge.
A member of the train crew which
came in from Havre Thursday after
noon, states a freight conductor named
C. C. Null was killed on the road near
Malta last Tuesday evening. No one
saw the accident but his mangled re
maine were found near a bridge, and it
is supposed from the marks on has head
that he was struck by the bridge and
knocked off the traui, falling between
the care which passed over him.
He was about 35 years old and leaves
a wife and child living at Havre. He
had just been promoted to the position
of conductor and was making his sec
ond run since his promotion. He is
known to many of the railroad boys here,
having worked unuer Trainmaster Haw
lev until that office was abolished about I
two years ago.

iltes Firm with a Good IProspect for an
Advance.
In its review of the copper market for
the week ended Seopt. 8 the Mining and
Engineering Journal says: "'Copper is a
litle less buoyant than when we last
went to press; not that much lower
prices are ruling, but the demand is not
quite so brisk as it then was. Many of
the larger consumers have bought quite
freely and, being covered for a reason
able time to come, they are now await
ing the development of affairs, and with
the likelihood of an increased volume of
business in the future will probably be

ducers, on the other hand, having
Looked quite a number of orders are not
disposed to shade their prices with the
object of securing more, and there seems
to be little necessity for it since most of
them are pretty well sold.
Lake copper can be bought at 0.2*93
and is, if anything, somewhat firmer
than it was last week, as the demand

turern having without difficulty nbn

Casting copper is somewhbat easier,
and must be quoted 8Js@9.
The Europsn market shows no im
provement from last week, prices having
declined to £30 17s. 6d. fore pot and £40
7I. 6d. for three months. Reined sorts
are unchanged. Business abroad is
rather dull, and with an improvement
such as is likely to make its appearance
at an early date, it would seem that the
copper available over there will not be
suffioient to meet the demand, and when
that time arrives prices here may im
prove still further.
Geological Sarvey Party.
The annual expedition of the United
tStatee geological survey to Montana has
been the past few weeks exploring the
Little Belt mountains. The party is in
charge of Walter H. Weed, assistant
United States geologist, who has a
corps of skilled asisetants and a complete
pack outfit consisting of 10 animals.
The scenes of operation have been the
confluents of the Dry Fork of Belt, Dry

I lind in your issue of Sept. 12, under
the heading of "Capital iLoomere," my
name coupled with J. K. Castuer and
II. W. Millard of ielt. s ea vice preoident
of the Helena capital club. What au

any way connected with this kind of
soap bubble policy. My efforts and my

promote the interests of the state in
which I live, one with open and gen-rous
givings to all men, and not one that will
be (as has been) placed in the hands of a

I cannot see how any laboring man can
in support of his own interests vote for
Helena for the capital. My support is
and will be for Anaconda to the end of
this contest, and I feel that in November
when the result is announced, we will
see the inflated bubbles blowed into a

necessary to find it. tAitaY OXI.EY.

Attorney James Donovan returned
Thursday from Helena. He has been
out at Gilt Edge for the last week or
so attending to the legal part of settling
up the affairs of the (Gilt Edge Mining
company. It is understood that the
present purchasers have decided to work
the mine fur all it is worth, and that the
cyanide process will be discarded and a
new system recommended by Prof. Pot

James T. Stanford, vice president of n
the Northwestern National bank, re- tl
turned Thursday from a bu'inese and ft
pleasure trip of several weeks on th T
Pacific coast. He visited most of the *
sound and coast cities and stated to TriE.
TRIcUNE that he came back well satis e
tied with Great Falls. He found that in ci
no city west of us was the condition of u
business as favorable as it is here, and a
that Great Falls is known favorably it
everywhere for its enterprise and re- j
sources. In the state of Washington
wheat is selling at from 24 to 30 cents a
bshel. the farmers furnishing sacks.
Hops are selling for little more than the c
cost of picking and fruit is a drug on

the irrigation convention at Denver, re- g
turned Thursday. To THE TaiuarNe he I
stated that the meeting was one of the P
most enthusiastic and beneficial to the a
cause which had ever been held. eSne r
ator Cary explained to the convention a
the purpose of the donation of a million
acres of land to each of the asrd land
states. This gift is made to the state on C
one condition only, and that is that the
lands selected are reclaimed. Toe state
is left to accomplish this in any manner
it sees tit, either by doing the work itself f
or by n aking such concessions to private
persons tr corporations as will induce
them to take up the work and reclaim
the waste lands. It is a matter which
will be brought before the legislature
next winter and the wisest and best
methods of reclaiming this land and
securing the munificent gift of Uncle
Sam will doubtless be adopted.
At the Electrie P'ower House. i
Mark A. Replogle of Cedar Rapids,
Ia., is in the city to look after the put
ting in of a gauge and governor for the
electric light company's power house. I
The device is one designed to regulate
the velocity of the water and its flow
from the penstock into the wheel, and
if it works as well as is expected will
prove a great improvement, enabling the
company to instantly increase or dimin
ish' the power derived from the water
wheels and thus keep the lights steady.
At present it takes some time to get an
increased pressure on the wheel, as after
the gate is opened wider the pressure
does not increase till the increased flow
reaches back 200 feet or more to the
other end of the penstock.

THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH
"Babe" Page, a Young Woman Who
Lead a Fast Life, Commits
Suicide.
She Shoots Herself Through the
Head in a House of Prosti.
tution at Benton.
A special dispatch received here the
13th from Fort Benton states that a
sporting woman named Babe Page shot
herself at an early hour yesterday morn
ing through the bead, instantly killing
herself. The rash act was committed in
a house of prostitution and was the re
suit of a quarrel with her lover, who is
said to be a married man Low in Fort
Benton. A coroner's inquest was held
and found a verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
The woman Babe Page is well known
among sporting circles in this city. She
was about 22 years of age and of attrac
tive appearance, although she had ful
lowed a sportir, life for five years or
more. She has lived in this city a good
deal, stopping mostly at Nell Iaymondl's
I place on Second street south. It is said
that of late years she got in the habit of
smaoking opium antl eating morphine, and
It is thought that she was probably more
or leas under the influence of this drug
when she committed the rash act de
scribed. A police officer who knows the
woman well states that the girl never
had a chance to grow up virtuous, and
that her mother died in a house of ill
famoe in this city some four or flee years
ago. At the time the girl was quite
young and it was the subject of a good
deal of comment before the mother's
death that both mother and daughter
should be leading a life of shame in the
same house. The officer also stated that
after the death of the mother some
kindly disposed persons tried to rescue
the girl from the life she was leading
and sent he, away to a relative in Iowa,
but owing to the soli2itation and bland
ishment of a certain man who had been
living with her she was induced to re
turn to her old life.
AN UNFeITH5ULI. WIIE.
John HI. llnover tnd Mrs. iJ. shaw
Arrested on a Chlarge of Adultery.
" John H. Hoover, a well known railroad
man, and Mrs. J. 1B. Shaw, the wife of a
barber, who keeps a shop on Second
avenue south, between Third and Fourth
streets, were arrested Friday night about
midnight by Joe Martin, on a warrant
sworn out by the injured husband,
charging them with adultery. The facts
in the case seem to be that the couple
have been pretty intimate lately, more
so than the husband approved, and a
few days ago Mrs. Shaw left her hus
band's house and has not returned since.
Having well founded suspicions that she
was paseing the time somewhere in
Hoover's company, the husband has
been doing a little private detective work
on his own account, and succeeded last
night in locating the guilty couple in
the Montana house. He at once pro
cured a warrant, and about midnight
Officer Martin proceeded to the room
occupied by the couple and knocked on
the door. It was opened by Hoover, and
the situation in which the couple were
found, left no doubt as to their guilt.
The woman was quite cool and collected
as she dressed herself to go to the police
station with the officer, and was ready to
joke and take the situation lightly, evi
dently not realizing the gravity of the
charge against her. Hoover seemed to
understand the situation better, how
ever. Both parties, sorudely interrupted
in their slumbers, were lodged in the city
jail.

WAS A LIVELY SCHOOL MEETIIG
A Resolution Passed Calling on County
Superintendent Stephenson
to Resign.
Trustee Emerton Makes Some Re
marks of a Very Pointed
Character.
The school board met Saturday in
regular session, Trustees Pomeroy,
Holmes, Poleo, Gookstltter, Emerton.
and Earll being present..
The meeting was of an interesting
character from the start and
before it wound up resembled the old
fashioned meetings of the board a year
or so ago.
After the minutes had been read the
chairman statedthat Miss May and Miss
Margaret Gallagher desired to address
the board. The ladies were accordingly
shown in ar.d asked to relieve their
minds, which they did. The substanne
of their statemnt was about as fol!ows:
At the receut examination of school
teachers they had been returned
iy the county euperintendent as
nlving failed to pass and con
seuently received no certificate.
This. threy clainced, was an injustice to
them for the reason that they had not
completed their writing on the last
study, which was arithmetic, at the time
the deputy superintendent closed the
examinatiun. ''hey claimed further
that the deputy superintendent told
them to take th, prohbmus home with
them and he would trust to their honor
to work them out themselves and the
results would be accepted and counted
for them. Afterward he refused to re
ceive these papers so written and marked
a failure against both of them. One of
the ladies had also failed in spelling, but
said the acting suleintendent agreed
not to count one word against her. which I
would have let her pass this branch.
Under the circumstances the ladies felt
that th y shou!l have a certificate.
Chairman Pomeroy explained to I
the board that two other teachers
had failed to pass the examina.
tion and the county superintendent re
fused to give a certificate to any of the
four unless they all received them. The
board desired to hire three of the teach
ers but did not wish to hire the fourth.
Mr. Holmes stated that he did not
think the county superintendent had
any authority to delegate his duties as I
an examiner to another, and thought the
examination was illegal anyway. He
was in favor of hiring the two Miss
Gallaghers.
Chairman Pomeroy was doubtful of
the legality of paying a teacher without
a certificate from the county superin
tendent.
A resolution was finally offered by
Trustee Earll calling on the county
superintendent to either resign his office
or attend personally to his duties
and instructing the school committse to
hire all four teachers as substitute
teachers in their respective rooms until
such time as they had an opportunity to
take a legal examination.
Supervising Architect White reported
that he had discovered that bqd rock on
the site of the new school house was six
teen feet below the surface and that it
would be necessary to go down this
distance to get a good foundation. This
would necessitate a large amount of
extra masonry and excavation, and he
recommended that the contractors,
McKay Bros.. be let the extra work at
00 cents for excavation and $3.50 per
perch for masonry. This evoked thei
wrath of Trustee Emerton, who de
nounced the proposition in unmeasured
terms, stating it looked like a snap
game and looked like boodle and
he did not blame the people who
accused the board of being in
fluenced by boodle when they let the
contract for the school building on the
old bid without asking for any new bids,
and now proposed to let another con
tract amounting to 83,5.0) or more to the
same party without any bide at all. For
the sake of the good name of the board
he asked them to advertise for bids for
this new work. Trustee Farli declared
that the price named was a reasonable
one and could be done more expedi
tiously by the present contractor.
Trustee Holmes said that If there was
any suspicion of boodle it should attach
particularly to Mr. Emerton himself, as
he had taken the contract to repair the
South side school without any bids
being asked.
Mr. Gockstetter also denounced the
use of such words in reference to the
board.
Mr. Emerton moved that bids be asked
for for the next three days
for the extra excavation ana masonry i
according t,. specifications to be seen I
in the architects office. He was sup
ported by Mr. Hiolmes on his proposition
and it was carried after a good deal of
excited talk and unparliamentary lan
guage between the various parties to the
dispute which at o(ne time got so hot
that it looked as if something harder
than words might be flying.
An estimate of $300 was passed for ex
cavation.
On motion of Trustee Earli and
Gockstetter the salary of the clerk was
raised $5 a month and a telephone
ordered put into his oalice at the experse
of the board.
The principal reported that he had
purchased the neceseary drawing boards
for the high school pupils from Mr.
Emerton, and the paper and card board
from the News ollice. On his recom
mendation a resolution was passed
ordering all pupils in the seventh and
eighth grades to attend at the North
side school.
The board then adjourned.
