PRICE .##7 ROOT INOORSED ON LIBERIA PLAN BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SAYS THAT FORMER SECRETARY HAS GOOD IDEA. COLONY IS IN BAD SHAPE Negro Educator Expresses Opinion That Government of This Country Owes Support to Blaoks in Africa Thinks United States Should Ap point Board of Commissioners. New York, Feb. 14.-Indorsing the view of former Secretary Root that Liberia is an American colony, Book er T. Washlgton tonight declared that the situation in the African re public was serious and that the United States was in duty bound to render practical assistance to Liberia, which was established in 1819 by the United States government. Mr. Washington said: Condition Is Serious. "The present condition of Liberia is serious. There are about 40,000 civ ilized negroes who have emigrated from the United States or as descend ants of people who emigrated years ago. Back of these in the Hinterland are about 1,500,000 of uncivilized peo pie. "The present condition of Liberia, however, need not surprise anyone. In fact, the surprise is that Liberia has maintained itself as an independ ent nation for so long a period with almost no help from outside sources except that which has been furnished by philanthropic individuals. Every European country which has planted a colony in Africa has spent millions of dollars in assisting them. These European governments have also sent their best officials to supervise and guide the people until they have got ten started. In the case of Liberia, a small body of people just dut of slav ery in this country, with no expe )leaie in government or the 'conduct of educational institutions or without responsibility for their own conduct, were sent to a fbreign country and the responsibility placed upon them within a few years of building and maintaining a government. But Not Hooeless. "I do not believe the condition of Liberia is hopeless, but I do believe this government owes, as Secretary Root says, a duty to the country. We have spent large sums of money and given some of our best officials to re organize and build governments in the Philippines, Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico and San Domingo, and we cer tainly owe an equal duty to Liberia. "I believe and hope the United States will carry out the recommen dation made to congrega by former secretary Root and by President Roosevelt in the direction of lending practical assistance through the send Jng of three commissioners to Liberia as early as possible." NIAGARA FALLS CHOKED BY WIND AND ICE JAN Niagara Falls, N. Y., Feb. 14.-Onl] a tiny rivulet, not deep or swif enough to carry a pulp log over thi brink, is flowing over the Americal side of Niagara Falls. A stroni northeast wind which has blows since Friday has held back the wate, and allowed the ice to gain a foot hold. Two employes of the Americal reservation walked from Prospec Point nearly to Bath Island this morn ing. A great wall of ice runs from the head of Goat Island to the Americal mainland, through which only .tint streams are able to trickle. This wal has even encroached on the Canadiar channel, extending out some 200 feel beyond the Third Sister island ant greatly diminishing the flow over the Horseshoe. Only the very apex o1 the Canadian Falls is left, and thai is robbed of halt its flow. The gorge below is choked and the rapids have lost their fury, while the whirlpool is barely in motion. This is only the third time that this combination oi wind and ice has thup affected the falls since the white nan came here The other occasions were on Marcl 29, 1848, and March 22, 1902. PIN'HOT SQUARES SELF WITH THE DRY FARMEHR Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 14.-Declaring that'his position on dry farming had been "somewhat inadequately de. scribed" in his letter to Presidenl Roosevelt, and that the country life commission would not deal with this branch of agriculture in his report Chief Forester Gifford Plnchot bam written a letter to Secretary John T Burns of the Transmissouri Dry Farming congress, in which he says: "I have seen great achievements made by dry farming, and great areas of land cultivated by means of it which would otherwise have remained barren,. "I am now and have been at times greatly interested in the deel opment ofi.ry farming and oenfidesi that it would be of great ismportano to the west. The association, I a.s told, i fotqllpWlg wise lines of work, and nobody is more glad of it than I I want to put this matter right before you." DREW CHARGES MERCENARY MOTIVE FRESNO ASSEMBLYMAN DE NOUNC5E JAPANESE IN BIT TER WORDS IN PULPIT. SCORES MONROE DOCTRINE California Legislator, in Address De livered in Sacramento Church, As sorts That Roosevelt Had Commer cial Interests in Mind When He Interfered in Anti-Jap Movement. Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 14.-Assem blyman A. M. Drew, of Fresno, 'who recently introduced an anti-alien land bill, in a sermon preached at the Cen tral Methodist Episcopal church in this city tonight, spoke in part as follows: "The history of the world teaches that a comingling of the white and yellow, or the white and black races, always brings the white race down and never brings the yellow or the black up. It results in a shiftless, worthless mongrel race that the worl does not want. "The South American countries were settled with the people of the mixed Spanish and negro blood, and that is the thing that places the South American lands where they are. Monroe Doctrine Pernicious. "The Monroe doctrine was one of the most pernicious that the world has known. The country teems with na tural wealth, but the people who in habit it are the most worthless in the world. And now the Monroe doctrine has crossed the continent to Califor nia. I say to you that the white race never has and never can stand where the yellow or the black race meets it. I say to you that if conditions con tinue as they now are, it' will not be 50 years until the white race becomes the typewriters and the servants of the yellow. To compete with the yel low race, the white man would starve to death. "The Japanese are fastening them selves to our soil. Only today a man on the train told me that he had sold $95,000 worth of land in grange coun ty to a Japanese. 4dhey will buy a tract of land and live in a shanty in which a white man could not exist and by saving every dollar they ac cumulate wealth. Cannot Live. Together. "If the Japanese comes the white man must go. No perfect man can come from the mixture of blood. The two races cannot live together. I say to you, do not permit them to live in our midst. I say to you, don't per mit them to take our land; I say to you, don't permit them to dri' out ebr own people. "I think I know why President Roosevelt sent orders to the state of California to keep its hands off the question of excluding Japanese from our schools, from our lands. This country has $400,000,000 of trade with the Chinese every year, and I believe he thinks Japan could so manipulate matters as to close the doors of Chi nese trade to us." IMANY LIVES SAVYE BY RAFTS SUPERIORITY OF FLOATS IS DEMONSTRATED IN WRECK OFF AUSTRALIA. Wellington, N. Z., Feb. 14.-Fifty two bodies have been recovered from the wrecked steamer Penguin of the Union Steamship company of Welling ton, which went on the rocks Friday night off Cape Terawhiti. Six 'of those aboard the Penguin are unac counted for. In all, the passengers and crew numbered about 100. Boats Are Sunk. The ship struck about 10 o'clock at night, but the captain remained on the bridge, and after his vessel slid into deep water was able to steer closer into shore. The seas were running high and the small boats and rafts which were hastily launched could not withstand the waves. The boats and rafts were overturned, but, while the poats speedily sank, the rafts righted themselves a number of times. Many acts of heroism were performed, some, of the stronger of those, struggling in the water helping the weaker to regain the trail crafts. Rafts Save Lives After several hours of buffeting, the majority of the survivors on the rafts reached the shore, demonstrating that raftst are more serviceable than boats in a heavy sea close to a rocky shore. One of the rafts with 10 men thrice captised when but a short distance from the land, but all scrambled back and were ultimately cast upon the cliff and were saved. Four boats came ashore some hours later and all were badly crushed. LINCOLN DAY IN LONDON. London, Feb. 14.-Two thousand men gathered in the Whitefields tab ernacle this afternoon at the Lincoln commemoration services. H. B. Irv ving, the, actor, presided. Both he and R. C.

TAFT ARRIVE IN CINCINNATI-PLANS OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT. Cincinnati, Feb. 14.-President-elect and Mrs. Taft arrived here from Pan ama and New Orleans today. They will be guests at the C. P. Taft resi dence until tomorrow, when they will leave for Washington. The trip. to Washington is import ant, as its primary object relates to the report of the engineers who ac companied Mr. Taft to Panama. This likely will be given him upon his ar rival there Tuesday morning. He will take the document to the White House where it will be the subject of a con ference with the president. The contents of the report have been forecasted, the features being a strong inflorsement of the present plans. While in Washington Mr. Taft ex pects to confer with Senator Knox and others relative to cabinet appoint ments. Senator Knox and Frank H. Hitchcock have accepted the positions of secretary of state and postmaster general, respectively. Other Appointments. As to the other places, unconfirmed rumors make the cabinet as follows: Attorney general, Mr. Wickersham of New York; secretary of war, Mr. Wright of Tennessee; secretary of the navy, Mr. Meyer of Massachusetts; secretary of the interior, Mr. Ballinger of Washington; secretary of agricul ture, Mr. Wilson of Iowa; secretary of commerce and labor, Mr. Nagel of Missouri. It is the general under standing that Mr. Taft wishes to fill the treasury portfolio either from Il linois or Ohio. Should the appointment go to his own state, it is likely that it will fall to Myron T. Herrick. Mr. Taft also will consult with the president and others regarding his inaugural speech. On his return here Thursday, Mr. Taft will be made a Mason "on sight," an honor rarely conferred by the Masonic order. CAUGHT REO-HANDED IN CAFE STOREROOM When an alleged thief unwittingly announced his presence in the store room of the Vienna cafe last night by accidentally sounding a burglar alarm, he would fain have flown, but his nose made the intimate acquaint ance of a brawny cook's fist and he went down and out for the full count. Now he is behind the bars of the county jail nursing a badly battered nasal appendage and brooding over the probability of facing a charge of burglary. It all came about in this manner: For some time past the proprietors of the cafe have been missing hams, bacon and other articles of food with persistent regularity. As the store room is located in the basement of the building where it cannot be watched closely, an electric bell was installed and arranged so it would ring when the door was opened. Late last night the bell sounded. George Johnson, one of the restau rant cooks, and Manager Edward Marble, one of the proprietors, rushed into the basement and caught Jack Kelley in the act of helping himself to the stores. Kelley made an at tempt to esospe, but Johnson antiol pated his move by leading to the nose with a straight, right-arm jab that sent Kelley down and out He was thesi dragged upstairs and held until the police arrived and took him into oustodr. Kelley declared that someone had taken him into the basement to give him a place to sleep, but Mr. Marble takes another view of the matter. FATAL RESULT MAY COME FROM JOKE SHOOTING OF WILLIAM SMITH REVEALS PECULIAR DOMES TIC ARRANGEMENT. St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 14.-In the shooting, which is expected to result fatally, of William Smith, a carpenter, here today, there came to light one of the strangest- entanglements three persons ever lived under. A girl 22 years old, who shot Smith, avers to the police that she married him know ing that her mother was already his legal wife. The three have lived for years together, the man as the hus band of both. The shooting this afternoon oc curred over the sending of a comic valentine. The girl, who styles her self Mrs. Cora Smith, while her mother Is known by the name of Mrs. William Smith, sent tie carpenter a comic valentine. Smith grew angry when he received it, and, after pack ing up his clothes, started to leave the house. Thinking he was going to desert her, the girl shot him. The girl's mother says she married Smith in 1902. Her daughter was by a for mer husband. A year. after their marriage, she says, she found that her husband had improper relations with her daughter. She made him marry the girl, she says, without first securing a divorce. The girl and hus band bear out the story. FROHMANS WILL SEEK SEPARATION THEATRICAL MAGNATE AND HIS ACTRESS WIFE DECIDE TO LIVE APART. New York, Feb. 14.-Daniel Froh man, the theatrical manager, an nounced today that he and Mrs. Froh man, who is Miss Margaret Illington, the actress, has decided upon a sepa ration with the view to an ultimate divorce. Mrs. Frohman is in Califor nia, where she is recovering her health, following a breakdown from her ardous work on the stage. Mr. and Mrs. Frohman were married in November, 1903 Mr. Frohman's statement follows: "Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Frohman have decided upon a separation with a view to ultimate divorce. Mrs. Frohman and I agreed to this recently. She desires to take up her residence per manently in California, where the cli mate agrees with her, and where she has always been well, even when act Ing. She has retired permanently from the profession and will remove with her parents to the. Pacific coast, where relatives reside, and will live with them. There is no scandal in volved in this agreement, no man or woman is the cause of it; in fact, the arrangement is far more amicable than hostile on either part. The de cision was arrived at recently. "Mrs. Frohman, though in good physical health, is at preent resting at a health resort in California, where, after a few weeks' quiet, she will be entirely restored. She came to New York from California a few weeks ago, apparently entirely recovered from her breakdown in "The Thief," but the eastern climate did not agree with her. She finds solace gnd health in the air of the Pacific slope, and there she has decided to live in the future. We have been married for nearly six years." Following her graduation from a dramatic school in Chicago nine years ago. Miss Illington has achieved var ious successes on the stage under the management of her husband. Several weeks ago she broke down under the strain of the work, and it was stated IContinued on Page Four.) SPREADING OF RAILS IS CAUSE OF WRECK ONE MAN IS KILLED AND EIGHT ARE INJURED IN SMASHUP NEAR OMAHA. Omaha, Feb. 14.-One passenger was killed and eight others injured, some of them seriously, when three coaches of the Missouri Pacific Kan sas City passenger train No. 104 left the rails at Union, a small station 40 miles south of here, today. A list of the casualties follows: Killed. TOM G. BARNUM, stockman, Union, skull fractured against water tank; killed instantly. Injured. Frank Heavrin, teamstear, South Omaha, head hurt and skull fractured above the eye; Amos McNamee, rural mail carrier, headquarters at Omaha, head cut, hand, back and leg injured; M. E.

Killed in Smoker. All the injured persons and Thomas Barnum, the dead stockman, were in the smoker, which turned on its side. The water tank crashed into Bar num's skull and he was dead when found. Amos McNamee, with whom Barnum was cbnversing, narrowly escaped a like fate. Although the weather was intensely 'old, the injured did not suffer great ly, being cared fqr in warm coaches, whch did not leave the track. Seven physicians were hurried to the scene and cared for the injured, none of whom, it is believed, will die. Caused by Rails. The wreck is said to have resulted from spreading rails. The engine and baggage car passed over the bad rails in safets, but the three coaches following left the track. ITALY EXPERIENCES MORE OUAKE SHOCKS Regglo, Feb. 14.-Earth shocks, more or less strong, were experienced here throughout the day. Last night Professor Alfani, director of the Flor ence observatory, while about to step onto a train for Naples, was thrown violently to the ground by what seemed to be an unusually severe shock. Peasants rushed to assist him to his feet, and anxiously inquired concerning the dangers of further earthquakes. He replied: "Be' calm, my children; that was a quake of the fifth degree. You must not be frightened by these shocks, for we will have them for two more years." BLIZZARD IN KANSAS. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 14.-Zero weather and the worst sleet and snowstorm of the winter prevails in the southwest tonight. All over Kan sas the fall of sleet has been heavy, causing delayed traffic and bad wire communication. In Oklahoma the storm began Saturday night with a rain, followed by a sudden drop of 48 degrees in temperature. Sleet and snow hive been falling almost con tinuously. Railroad traffic is almost at a standstill in many localities and wire bervice is seriously interrupted. Stock will suffer from the extreme cold. DEATH IN TORNADO. Birmingham. Ala., Feb. 14.-Two per sons were killed and seven badly In jured at West Point this afternoon in a tornado. KIAMIL PASHA OUSTED BY TURKS YOUNG PARTY SUCCEEDS IN SE CURING DOWNFALL OF AGED GRAND VIZIER. BIG NOISE WAS TOO SLOW Committee on Union and Progress Suspected Sultan's Man Friday p1 Being Susceptible to Palaes In fluence-Deposed Official Will issue Manifesto Defending Course. ('onstantinople, Feb. 14.-The new constitutional regime has passed through a severe crisis, which has re sulted in the downfall of the aged grand vlzier, Kiamll Pasha, and the complete triumph of the young Tur key party, or a committee of union and progress, which has virtually im posed upon the sultan a ministry of its own nominees, headed by Hilmi Pasha. The committee has publicly repudiated any Intention to over throw the sultan or to install a mill tary dictatorship, but the crisis and its outcome are regarded as not bod ing well for the stability of the throne or the state of parliamentary govern ment, and it remains to be seen how the moderate elements of the empire will regard this assumption of abso lute power by an irresponsible com mittee, especially in'the face of deli cate problems still to be solved in the Balkans. Kiamil Te Glew. The committee of union end prog ress has constantly opposed ilamll Pasha. It suspected him of being too susceptible to palace influence and complained of his slowness in eon ducting negotiations with Austria Hungary and Bulgaria. Kiamll Pasha claims that if he acted unconstitu tionally in dismissing the ministers of war and marine, the chaeber also acted unconstitutionally by ignoring article 88 of the constitution, which grants a miister the right to adjourn his reply to an interpellation. Manifesto Coming. The former grand vizier intends to publish a manifesto to the nation on Wednesday explaining his course. Hilmi Pasha, as grand visier, suc ceeded in organizing a new cabinet tonight, reappointing to the office of minister of war the deposed All isas Pasha, whose dismissal led to Klamil Pasha's downfall. This official also was appointed minister of marine and grand master of artillery. Hilma Pasha takes to himself the portfolio of the ministry of the interior and Zia Eddin Effendi is the new Shlek ul-Islam. The other ministers are practically the same as in the former cabinet. Sour Grapes. Kiamil Pasha said: "I was glad to be relieved of the responsibility and will watch to see how they get on. I sincerely hope the work I accom plished will not be spoiled." It appears that the sultan made every effort to induce Shiek ul-Islam Jemaleddin Effendi, who occupied that post for 18 years, to withdraw his resignation, but without success. REPRESENTATIVE MEN ARE NAMED NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO ORGANIZE COUNCIL. New York, Feb. 14.-The National Civic federation tonight announced the appointment of a committee which will attempt to organize a council of 100 representative men in each state before whom will be laid a plan to se cure more uniform legislation. John Hays Hammonds is chairman. The other members are: Alton B. Parker, New York; Myron T. Herrick, Ohio; David R. Francis, Missouri' Curtis Guild, Jr., Massachusetts; N. J. Bachelder, New Hampshire; Edward Warfield, Maryland; Herman Riidder, New York; C. F. Brooks, Connecticut; Bruce Haldeman, Kentucky* Vctar Rosewater, Nebraska; Clark Howell, Georgia; P. I. Bonebrake, Kansas; James Lynch, Indiana; hIarry Prart Judson, Illinois; A. H. Revell, Illinois; John B. Lennon, Illinois; John II. Halliday, Indiana, and Benjamin Ide Wheeler, California. The federation points out that there are useful national organizations which hold meetings to discuss affairs peculiar to their own pursuits and callings, but it declares, heretofore, that there has been no effort to chys talize interstate organisations for the accomplishment of concrete aims. The state council to be organized will at tempt to bring this about. The federation says: '"The develop ment of the nation and the changes in conditions brought about by more development have emphasized the harmfulness of incongruities in law, adopted as they have been without any attempt at uniformity in regulat ing the subject matter. "The people of the sections do not sufficiently know each other. It is confidently expected that a meeting for the common good of men from all the states and the opportunities such meetings will afford for better under standing and appreciation of the peo ple and the institutions of widely sep arated sections will bring about an in creased sense of the unity of the whole people."

Follow Sohedule. The previously arranged scheduler of the journeys from port to pert has been adhered to in remarkable ma. ner except in two instances, when vio. lent storms made full speed too dan gerous and uncomfortable. To offit these lapses from punctuality the fleet has made some of its longest runs two whole days ahead of time. None of the undertakings imposed upon the ships or the men has been too dtil-l cult. The cruise, however, was not in augurated without serious misgivings at home and abroad. Victor D. Met calf of California was secretary at the navy when the cruise began. After the ships had set sail from Ma nila with homeward bound pennants flying, Mr. Metcalf said: "When the purpose of giving tdis assemblage of battleships the privi leges and advantages of a practleol cruise was announced, criticism from high technical quarters were heard It was suggested that the undertakita was too monumental; that a battle ship is too vast and complicated a piece of mechanism to send around the globe on ordinary occasion; that dangers more than multiplied with numbers in such a case; that disaster lurked on every submerged ledge and was borne on every unknown tidal current; that the skeleton of some of the ships would doubtless be left in the straits of Magellan; that, if the fleet should succeed in rounding South America it was reasonably certain that the individual ships would, one by one, arrive with machinery loose and almost unserviceable, with crews reflecting the demolarized condition of the material, and that a woeful spectacle of failure would thus be pre sented. "As to the material, the cold facts are that the ships have practically taken care of their own repaire on this cruise. The repair lists turned in at the Cavite naval station were neg ligible." Cruise of Benefit. That the experience gained on the cruise will be of unending benefit to the navy is indicated from the fact that probably one-half of the entire personnel of the naval esta participated in the epoab-l trip. Three of the 16 captains whe sailed in command of vessels are re turning home as rear admirals. Bight other captains are returning in com mand of the same ship on which they began their journey of the world.

Mr. Kyd visited Stevens ville on Thursday evening and was in attendance at the meeting of the council. Rumor Denied. Reports have been current upon the streets here for the past week that the Bitter Root District Irrigation com pany would suspend operations in this section and that the extra ten miles of the ditch extending from the Burnt Fork to the Three Mile country would not be finished, but the company seem to deny these rumors. It was reported here yesterday that the contractors in this section had orders from the com pany to resume work, but it is doubt tul if they will, since the arrival of a telegram from Tom J. White to R. F. Peterson, which was received here at an early hour this morning, stating that he had accepted a contract for a piece of work near Mandan, N. D., on the Northern Pacific. Peterson and White are both railroad contractors, and have been heavy contractors on the ditch. Just what these men will do will not be known until Mr. White returns to Stevensville tomorrow.

Mr. Bayley spoke, In part, as follows: "The law of Christ here referred to is the law of love. When asked once to name the greatest command ment, He replied that to love God with all one's heart and soul and mind was the greatest, and the next greatest was to love one's neighbor as oneself. ThuC His teaching de clared love to be the law of His life. And His daily activity coincided wi' His teaching, for His life was one of constant and unbroken love to God and of tender and ministering love to men. Individual Development. "Love expresses itself in helpful. ness. And helpfulness-the bearing of others' burdens-is the way to de velopment. Of course, a man may de velop his muscles by exercise or work which is wholly for himself, or he may develop his mental powers by application to the selfish accumulation of money. But this is not self-devel opment; it is merely the development of the tenement in which the self lives. But there is no real develop ment of the self, of the soul made in God's image, apart from service to others. "Indeed, one cannot do his, best work for himself. A little girl was staggering across the street one day carrying a heavy baby. A kindly old gentleman inquired: 'Isn't he too heavy for you?' 'No, sir,' she replied, 'he's my brother.' Love's burden was greater than any she could have borne for herself. Every one knows that men will work with a feverish haste and with an effective strength in rescuing the injured from a wreck which are never equaled in their work for themselves. Firemen work with a seal which the ditch digger or the carpenter do not know. The Law of Seoiety. "Development through servlom is not only the law of the individual; it is the law of society. Men must bear one another's burdens in order that there may be development of the bo. politic. The great problems of econo mics, politics and philanthropy which stand in the pathway of our common development can be solved by the ap plication of this principle. The execu tive head of the Rock Island railroac system, in a recent Interview, sala that the only hope for the permanent solution of the railroad problem lay in the direction of mutual helpfulness and sympathy between the ralroad. and the public. "This is virtually the same stand that President Roosevelt has taken regarding the trusts. Instead of wholly condemning them, or wholly protecting them, he has insisted that they had great tasks and problems which the people should more sym pathetically appreciate, and that the public had certain rights which the trusts should more thoughtfully con sider. Each must bear the burdens of the other. And this same principle applies to the labor problem and the negro problem, and to all other prob lems of public wisdom and expe diency. 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,' says the Scripture, 'and all these things shall be added unto you.' The Law of God's Kingdom. "Development through service is, of course, pre-eminently the law of God's kingdom. It was the law ox Christ, and Christ is the king; hence it must be the kingdom's law. This principle should never be lost sight of by the church. Let the church al ways remember that if it be true to its mission it must serve the people of its community. It must bear their burdens. Only thus can it gain strength. No church should seek to get from the community, but rather to give to it. It is not the business of the church to be supported, but rather to serve and bless the people of its neighborhood so helpfully that they will take pleasure in supporting it. The money matters of the church will then be, as they should, only incidental. Various schemes for wheedling money out of the public will be done away with, because the people will recognize the real worth of the church to themselves and their families and to the community at large, and will gladly give directly to meet its financial needs. "The burdens to be borne by the church are many and varied. leach church must discover for itself the ways in which it can best serve its constituency. But no church should over fall to be, even as was Christ Himself, among the people 'as one that serveth.' So long as Sir Laun fal sought the holy grail, he found it not. He thought of the glory of it, of the prestige its recovery would give him. But in the instant when he forgot his search long enough to think of the poor beggar by the way and to share with him his crust of bread, then there came to him the end of his quest. "An old man bearing a heavy bur den, so a legend tells us, was over taken by a younger man who offered to help him. No sooner had the bur den been lifted from the old man's shoulders than he changed his ap pearance, becoming younger and showing the brightness of a halo about his head. S'o the young man went on in the delightful presence of Christ, and the burden was so light that he thought little of it. Thus the bearing of another's burden will over brlng us into clearer vision of Christ. and tive us a development of our nobler selves which can comle in no other way than through service."

Something unforeseen happens to the fuse and it does not ignite the blast, so, after waiting for some time, ,the man goes up to investigate the cause of the delay. Suddenly there is a terrific explolion and he is thrown many feet away and severely injured. His cbmpanions carry him home and when he regains con sciousness the poor fellow realizes that he has lost his sight. Being an able-bodied man, the fact that he will now be helpless so preys on his mind, together with the thought that his wife is unfaithful to him, he asks his little boy to lead him down to the river. The blind man fum bles around and at last jumps into the stream and would have drowned but for the timely arrival of his wife who plunges in after him and brings him safely to shore, She leads him home and, realizing that it was all done for love of her and sorrow over her unfaithfulness, she de cides to devote her life to him, turning her back on the unworthy man who has caused the trouble and who is even now waiting to elope with her.

Keith has called a spe cial meeting of the city council for tonight to dispose of business left over from the last regular meeting. A number of important matters are scheduled for the consideration of the city fathers at this meeting, one of which will be the opening of bids for the construction of the proposed wing dam in the Missoula river east of the Bitter Root bridge. The council will also have the damage suit of William Smith officialy brought to its notice.

Acceptance of the bonds of the Missoula Light Water company will be another subject for discussion by the dads. The Montana Independent Telephone company will formally present its request for a franchise to condtict a telephone busi ness in Missoula tonight.

In his review of the sit daon in the valley below the Wash plant, judge Hunt expressed the be It that there might be some means .mnd by which the objectionable fea. of the smoke might be removed; will make inquiry along this line the forthcoming hearing of the ase. This phase of the famous case $aces the question in a more equitable q'm than it has appeared; the do. ~nd of the farmers that the smelt be enjoined from operation was Ily without reason and their re was positively denied; but the eovrt felt that thp investigation had *wn that there were damages to ii frms resulting from the smoke tale the Washoe stack and that in pry might show that some method *ht be adopted to extract from the ae fumes the dangerous com. The eminent justice of this is apparent ti all who have the case and there is every to believe that thb ultimate re dat will be fair to the farmers add toAhe smelter company. THE MAINE. Today is the eleventh anniversary of the destruqtion of the Maine In Eavasa harbor. February 16, I18, the lnated warship was destroyed and the lives of two hundred and fifty of its rew were snuffed out. The respon elbility for the explosion of the mine that aooomplished this destruction has never been definitely fixed but the affair was the incident which precipi afied our war with Spain which ef leoted a greater change in the map of the world than any other international event in modern times. In Havana end in Washington today there will be appropriate memorial exercises for the men whose lives were lost in the de staucotetM of the Maine. At this time iere is pecilal ignificanoe in the rec. emmendation of Governor Magoon, which has been indorsed by President Roosevelt," that immediate steps be taken to remove the wreck of the bat tleship from the harbor of Havana, where it has lain ever since it settled there, eleven years ago. The hulk of the Maine is a menace to navigation and the Cubans, although they regard the battered wreck as one of their monuments, appreciate the necessity which exists for Its removal and have joined their petition to the recommen dation of the former governor of the island. IN EARLY DAYS. Deeply as we deplore the unwar ranted extremes to which alleged de bate has been carried in the houses of congress recently, there is yet some satisfaction in the thought that things are not as bad as they used to be in eoagress. The Brooks assault upon Charles Sumner in the senate cham ber is an instance that is a familiar il hlustration of the great length to which personal feeling was carried in com paratively recent times. Today, Feb reary 15, is the anniversary of a fam one personal conflict incident which took place In the house of representa- t tives. On that day, 1798. Representa tire Griswold of Connecticut caned Representative Lyon of Vermont as the outcome of a personal difference. Lyon had published a letter in his bome state which, It was alleged, was Isialated to stir up sedition. He was arrested and fined a thousand dollars. Slater yltears this fine became the 1 qebO ttof Stional legislation and dis son; it was eventually repaid to 1tpa's heirs by the government.

We ar Improving somewhat. THIIY'Ri MINUSI At thb University club ia Philadel phia tonight there will be a dinner which possesses unique features. The guest of honor is Dr. John B. Deaver, one of the country's most eminent sur geons, and the other banqueters are one htndred and fifty physicians Who have been operated upon by the famn ous man who will sit at the head of the table. Of these guests, one hun dred and twenty-five have had their appendices removed by Dr. Dearver; the others have been the subjects of minor operations. The fact that all of these men are able to attend a dinner is, of itself, a testimonial to the skill of the operating surgeon and he will doubtless feel no small degree of sat isfaction as he looks about him to night and sees the results of his hand iwork. While the twenty-five who have not forefited their appendices may feel a bit jealous of those who are minus their vermiformtns, they will probably enjoy the banquet just as thoroughly as if they were not in pos session of the troublesome little mem bers. 0, the Red Apple band in Red Apple land discourses gay Red Apple glees; while Red Apple Read serves Red Ap ple feed and gives us a Red Apple breese.-Hamilton's national air. In other words, Goethals will over come the obtacles on the isthmus, while Taft surmounts the obstructions at Washington. It will be an effec. tive combination. There is no groundhog to forecast the outcome of the primary-nomina tion matter, but there are some prom ising signs in the political sky. The new Venesuelan government ap pears to be conducted on a business basis; the Venezuelans will like it when they get used to it. There will not be absolute freedom of debate in either Russia or Turkey until the delegates revise their pat ronymics. With Mr. Taft standing behind them, the men whto are digging'the canal can proceed without fear of attacks from the rear. Turkey is becoming chvilised; in the course of a parliamentary debate Sat urday a deputy called the grand visier a liar. Arisona and New Mexico did not get their hoped-for valentines, but Speaker Cannon gave them a pleasant smile. Colorado is becomlng almost as wil, and woolly as Illinois; its latest trair robbery has a real eastern flavor. Furthermore, Mr. Taft has showr that hi can be aggressive when the oc. casion demands aggresaiveness. The Woman's club has become in1 fected with the building germ and we may expect substantial results. And, meanwhile, the steel of the C., M. P. 8. is closing the last gap It the long line. If Mr. Pulltzer is wise he will se clude himself remotely about March 4. The Red Apple must be kept red and careful inspection is necessary. A woman's club building will be a good addition to the season's record. Now, Mr. Rainey, will you listen to your Uncle Bill Taft and be good? And,, again, the Rainey shots appear to have missed the target'entirely. The sunny south was never more sunny than it was for Mr. Taft. Have you bought your ticket yet for the Red Apple banquet? Hang out your Red Apple banner this week. And the new Fort Missoula is com Ing Up. This is Red Apple week. Make ready. FROH MANS WILL SEEK SEPARATION (Continued from Page One.) at the time that she might retire per marnently from the stage. Wife May Remarry. Ban F'ranclsco, Feb. 14.-Mrs. Daniel Frohman, known on the stage as Margaret Illington, Is said to be in a sanitarium in Oakland, where her own physician, who accompanied her from New York, is in attendance upon her. According to rumor, Miss Illing. ton may merry E. J. Bowes, a promi nent local clubman and real estate operator. Since her arrival here a week ago, she was the guest for sev eral days of James H. Spring, presl dent of the Western National bank, and with whom Bowes is associated in business. That Miss fllington had come to California for the purpose of bring Ing suit for divorce was admitted by Bowes. Asked if it was his inten tion to marry Miss Illington when her divorce has been granted, he said: No 8oandal. "This is a matter which the future holds, and which I cannot discuss. I met Miss Illington in the east sev eral years ago. I am well acquainted with her family and with Mr. Froh man, and am very friendly with them and with him. If a good woman fnds that her path of happiness lies in some other direction, she has a perfect right to secure a divorce. There is a perfeot understanding be tween Miss Illington and her husband and when the complaint is filed it will be seen that not the least scandal can attach to ,the affair." Bowes is identified with large real estate operations in this city and Ia 2%00006 iICTOR'S NEW PLANIT IN OPERATION b SITTER ROOT TOWN TAKES TO ELECTRICITY-OPERA HOUSE ALMOST READY. Special Correspondence. Victor, Feb. 14.-Victor's new elec tric light plant is now in operation and nearly all the business and dwelling houses in town are being wired. John Hodge, who Installed the plant, and owns and operates it, promises to con tinue the present good service, and the rates are lower than those of ad Joining towns.

Sufficient power can be gener ated at the plant here to furnish light and power to all the surrounding country. The Victor school board will sub mit to the voters at the coming spring election the question of bonding the district for another school building. The school is growing rapidly and a building must either be rented or erected for next year. The buildint proposition has been discussed for some time and so far not a dissentlng voice has been heard. New Opera House. The new McIntosh Red opera house will soon be completed, and it is a house that will be a credit to the town. It will have a seating capacity of over 600. It has a fine hard maple floor and a stage large enough to accommo date the best companies. George Dil dine, the builder and proprietor, is to be congratulated upon his enterprise. Only the better companies will be booked and the Sutton company of Butte will give the opening perform ance on the evening of March 10. This house will put Victor on the play cir cuit. The Washington birthday ball will be held in the new opera house on February 22. The public school gave a very in teresting program at the Presbyterian church on Lincoln's birthday. All school programs must now be held at some church or hall, as the school has grown until there is now not room in the school building for such gather. Ings. Victor Notes.

FOR SICK CHILDREN Mrs. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, Who Has Done So Much Good Among Sick Children of New York, Rec. ommends Vinol. "In my work among the destitute sick I give Vinol in many cases where it would be impossible to give cod liver oil in any other form, on account of the extreme Weakness of the pa tient's stomach. I have known Vinol to restore appetite and infuse new life in many cases of sick women and chil dren when everything else failed. Lit tle children seem to delight in taking Vinol." The reason Vinol Is so far superior to old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions is because It contains all the medicinal, body building elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' livers with the disagreeable -oil eliminated and tonic iron added. As a body builder and strength creator for old people, weak women, delicate children, after sickness and for all pulmonary troubles, Vinol is rec ommended by over 5.,000 of the lead Ing druggists of the United States. Your money will be returned on de mand it Vinol falls to benefit. Missoula Drug Co., Miussula. AFTER SUFFERING TEN YEARS Cured by Lydia E. Pink. ham's VegetableCompound MALTN NJ.-- I feel thatLydlaE.

Mulroney, the local legal light, has been in communication with a number of baseball promoters in liutte during the past week in the hope that Missoula may be consid ered eligible for a place in the pro posed intermountain circuit. Mu: roney, in his correspondence with Frank Jones, the Butte independent baseball magnate, says that there is now over $2,000 in the local banks for the support of a team in Missoula and that in the next two weeks thrice that amount will be placed to the credit of the Garden city promoters of the national game. Following is an item taken from the Standard, giv ing the Butte man's ideas on the sub ject of league ball in what he terme "one street towns": "He wants to know just where Jones stands in all this hubbub of protected ball as opposed to the in dependent variety. The Missoula man rather favors the latter, and so may it be said does Impressarlo Jones, but the Butte man has made no move as yet, waiting to see what Prestlent Lucas, Jack Grim and others expect to do in these parts. In discussing the matter, Jones remarked: 'The one-street towns won't stand for the .league stuff. You can't get the support of games every day, or even four days a week, and in a Montana circuit every ball center in the state is needed. I believe it will come to the same independent ball we had last year, unless these outbld ers have got money to bring in hire. Personally, I'd like to see 'em come. I wouldn't buck them, for when you come right down to it, protected ball is the only thing, after all." LOG OF FLEET HAS GREAT INTEREST (Continued from Page One.) onstant student of the higher arts of I 'aval science, fell the task of direct Sling the fleet on all but the first 14,000 s miles of its journey. Rear Admiral t Robley D. Evans, now retired, took f the fleet out of Hampton Roads on December 16, 1907, and, although ill ness soon after the start confined him t to his cabin for a greater part of the I way, he retained command until San r Francisco was reached and the first stage of the long trip had been ac complished. Rear Admiral Evans r found it necessary while the ships were at the targets in Magdalena bay to leave the fleet and seek treatment t at Paso Robles (hot springs), Cal. His I flag lieutenant went with him, and he I retained his rank of commander in chief. When the ships reached Mon terey bay, the last stopping place on the Pacific coast prior to the entry into San Francisco harbor, Admiral I Evans was helped aboard his flag ship and was on the after bridge when the Connecticut entered the Golden Gate at the head of the most formidable array of fighting vessels I ever gathered under one flag. The Atlantic and Pacific fleets joined com lany in the bay, and there were more than 40 ships in the four long col umns that came to anchor under Evans' blue ensign. Three days later Admiral Evans hauled down his flag for all time. He was succeeded as commander in chief by Rear Admiral Charles H. Thomas, who sailed from Hampton Roads in command of the second squadron. Because of Rear Admiral Evans' sickness the burden of the diplomatic calls, the speeches and the entertaining of the trip around South America and up the California coast fell upon Admiral Thomas. Coupled with his duties as second in command, with the com mander in chief, the social burden was not a light one. Admiral Thomas was plainly failing in health when he suc ceeded Admiral Evans, and he re talned official command only from May 9 to 15, 1908, being relieved at that time, ahead of the department's plans, in order that he might enjoy a rest. As the fleet was sailing from San Francisco two months later Ad miral Thomas died suddenly at Del Monto, Cal. Death has twice invaded the ranks of the captains who sailed with the fleet, but in both instances the offi cers had previously been relieved from duty. Captain Henry McCrea, of the Georgia, a most popular officer, died soon after his return to the east fol lowing relinquishment of command at San Francisco. Captain Greenlief A. Merriam, who took the Missouri to the Pacific coast, a capable man, died within a comparatively short time after turning his vessel over to a suc cessor. Rear Admiral Sperry, who returns as commander in chief, sailed as com mander of the fourth division of the fleet, being ranked by both Admirals Evans and Thomas. Rear Admiral William H. Emory was the fourth of the sailing admirals, and he was re tired while the ships were at Manila. Captains Seaton Schroeder, of the Vir ginia; Richard Wainwright, of the Louisiana, and William E. Potter of the Vermont, were the captains who attained flag rank during the cruise. The Start. Leaving Hampton Roads on a cloud less day in December, 1907, after a re-, view by the president from the bridge of the Mayflower, the first run of the fleet took it to Trinidad. It had been announced that the practice cruise would end on the west coast of the United States, but the sharps were hardly under way before the fact be came known that it was Mr. Roose velt's intention to have the 16 battle ships circumnavigate the globe. At Trinidad the first of the gayetied oc curred. The officers and men of the fleet were welcomed with a hospital ity which set a mark for all succeed ing receptions, and from that time on each succeeding port tried to outdo its predecessor. The climax of lavish dis plays, parties and receptions un doubtedly came in Australia and Japan, although it would be difficult for the officers and men today to say just where it was that the people tried: hardest to make their stay a pleasant one. Among the men Los Angeles will always have a bright memory, for It was there ethat they first case into their own on the trip, and entertain ments were arranged In partolular for the enlisted force. It was in Los An geles also that Jim Jeffries, hbampion of the WOrld, refereed the sailers' boxing bouts and mingled with them in all their sports. Sail to Rio. From Trinidad the fleet called next at Rio, where the days of the Visit were overcrowded with social events. At Wi ap niRtoaoed staer told d a. plot by anarchists to blow up some of the American vessels. The first thrill of fear which swept the nation was quickly dispelled when the story was shown to be a pure fabrication. From -Rio the Itinerary led to Punta Arenas, that unique and interesting "farthest south" settlement on the straits of Magellan. Here again a hospitable people made the stay of the fleet an exceptionally pleasant one. The Chilean government sent a cruiser to accompany the 16 battleships through the treacherous waters of the straits, and although the navigators of the American vessels had already plotted their own course through the narrow, rock-walled waterway, the courtesy of the South American nation, was fully appreciated. In California. When the ships had safely hit the straits the department officals at Washington undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief, although' on the 16 big ironclads themselves there was never s question in the mind of any officer or sailor as to the safety of the sturdy fighting craft. Bailing up the western coast of South America the fleet passed in review of the president in the harbor of Valparaiso, sweeping In a great curve into the harbor and out again before the admiring eyes of a deeply impressed people. No stops were made between Punta Are nas and Callao, where again the en tertainments offered the visitors taxed everybody's time to the utmost. After Callao came Magdalena bay, where for a month the ships were out of touch with the world except by wireless telegraphy. Drills and record target practice filled the time at Mad dalena. It was a month of real work -a month of work enjoyed by all. ttecord target practice is eagerly an ticipated every year. It is a time when every sailor, no matter how new he may be in the service, gets a chance at the guns provided he has shown any sort of aptitude in the "ping-pong" trials, which are contin uous aboard the men of war in port and out. It is at record practice that the men attain the rank of "gun pointer" and get a white star and crossed circle on their blouse sleeve if they make a certain mark. To be a gun pointer means extra pay each month, according to the class at tained, and there is prise money for all, if the ship's guns as a whole make a deserving record. The record prac tice of last spring developed an accu racy and rapidity of fire never be fore attained. In the Orient. After Magdalena came the excursion of the fleet to the California resorts, and there was apparently a never ending program of merrymaking. At San Diego (Coronado Beach); at the ports of Los Angeles, at Santa Bar bara, at Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Francisco, the people of Califor nia received the fleet with wild ac claim. It was the first time that such an array of fighting vessels had been seen on the Pacific coast, and Cali fornia celebrated with the hospitality for which the people of the state are noted. A trip to Puget sound took the fleet to Seattle, Tacoma and Bel Ungham, and these cities offered an entertainment which ranked with the very best of the entire trip. In the Orient. When the ships set sail out of Ban Francisco for the return trip there were many predlctions that they would be left in the Pacific, tland that events might make such a course desirable. Invitations had been accepted for visits to Australia, to China and Japan, and there was never a devia A Dimple Maker Find a child with dimples and chubby arms and legs and you And a healthy child.

The fleet has done exactly what the au thorities at Washington said it would, but in. a manner which surprised and gratified them to the fullest extent. The story of the fleet's visit to Honolulu, to Auckland, Sydney, Mel bourne and Albany in Australia; to Yokohama, to Amoy, to Manila and to the ports of call on the way home through the Suez canal are too recent to need recall. The welcome extended in Australia and Japan left nothing to be asked for, either in lavishness of entertainment or in sincerity of purpose. Succor to Italy. The battleships, had their schedule brought them sooner to the eastern end of the Sues, might have played a notable part in succoring the stricken people of Messina. As it was the serv ices of the ships were offered, but the relief plans had already developed so as not to require them. In a way the battleship fleet, however, accomplished much. Store ships laden with sup plies for the fighting vessels were dis patched by the home government, and officers and men were glad to give up the solid foodstuffs and delicacces to the earthquake sufferers. A large sum of money was contributed from the fleet, and the first division of four vessels under Admiral Sperry called at Naples to express sympathy and sorrow. The battleship Illinois was the only one of the American fight ing vessels to really enter the earth quake zone. This ship went to Meo sina and 400 American sailors searched the ruins until they had re covered the bodies of American Consul Cheney and his wife. Homeward Bound. After visits to various Mediterran. ean ports and accepting the hospitali ties of half a dosen nations, the 18 ships gathered again at Gibraltar and sailed for home, Saturday, February 6. They will be met at sea, 1,000 miles from shore, by the third or "home" squadron of the Atlantic fleet, consisting of four battleships and five cruisers. Even the last leg of the famous journey is to be given over to work. There will be daily drills and maneuvers and inspection by the commander in chief of every vessel on the way over. President Roosevelt will greet the fleet on February 28 from the bridge of the Mayflower, at the point from which he bade fare well 14 months ago. There will be two strangers in the fleet when it reaches here-the Ne braska and the Wisconsin, both Pa cific-built- which replaced the Maine and Alabama, detatched at San Fran cisco, and sent home in advance. The Maine will be the flagship of tihe wel coming squadron. At Manila bay the ships spent three weeks at the target, engaged in fall battle practice. Battle practice is ,at much longer range than record prac tice, and is usually a test of what the gun pointers developed at record prac tlce can do when the ships are firing under battle conditions and at battle distance. The battle practice at Ma nila, held under the new fire control system, showed an improvement in many instances of 100 per cent over the gunnery records of a year ago.. About eight per cent of the members of the International Fur Workers are unemployed at present.

This Morning We Inaugurate Our Annual WHITE _ GOODS T7 SALE Clouds of beautiful underclothes at prices rarely equaled await the scrutiny of feminine Missoulians. The counters are piled high with snowiness, mak ing our Dry Goods department the most splendid Underclothes Store Mis soula has ever known. The sale comes a little later than usual, other stores have had their sales, but we have it that the majority of women have pre. ferred to await this event--and they were wise to do so; their confidence in our White Goods Sale---in us---will be rewarded in characteristic Missoula Mercantile Co. manner: Better Assortments, Better Styles, Better Qualities, Better Values With Her Eyes Closed a woman can quickly detect the difference in our White Goods Sale garments this year by merely feeling the materials and the embroideries.

MISSOULA MERCANTILE CO. MUSLIN GARMENTS are so beautiful in idea, so careful in construction, so strong. and yet delicate in stitching, so dainty with embroidery, that one can not resist their fascination. Perhaps perfection of fit comes first this year in planning these underclothes; the need for slenderness and a snug fit is so imperative. But careful making and finishing, serviceable, high-class muslins, cambrics, embroideries and laces have not been over looked-there is no skimping in cut, no hurried, unsanitary making. They are perfect-as nearly as the highest skilled makers can produce. IT IS ALL FOR YOU This White Goods Sale shows such a wonderful advance on anything we have keretofore presented to Missoula that we take the greatest pleasure in inviting you to see its many styles at the smallest prices we have ever known gar ments and materials of similar quality to be presented.

F. H. REESER 118 W. Cedar it. Phone 1 ROCK SPRING COAL MONARCH COAL Eddy Stock Advancing This is the last newspaper report on the Eddy. We have sold about all the stock that we care to at this time. All that was beain offered was 60,000 shares, or anough to complete the lower tunnel. That will take some time, and as there will be four producers, one on eaoh cor ner of the eight claims of the Eddy, it can hardly be expected the Eddy will not join the list of shippers early in the summer. Don't overlook getting some stook in at least one property in the silver-lead belt of Saltese. This is the advice of one who has been watching this camp for ten years, and while it has not made good as quick as was expected, it was sure. The mines here have been unfortunate in that the big producers in the Coeur d'Alene just over the hill overshadowed them, and they could not get the capital to develop, but that has now become past his tory, and anything here will sell anywhere. As we do not wish to sell much more Eddy stock, we will only sell in thousands, and would pre fer to sell 100 to 1,000 to each individual. Remember, every holder of Eddy stock is entitled to a report every week on what is going on at Saltese. You will be on the mailing list and will get such information, including maps, etc. Send in your name before March 1, as the price will advance, and possibly all this stock will be withdrawn from the market.

If the proper arrangements can be made with the Northern Pacific Rail way company, it seems SHAPARD'S probable that Harr) PUBLICITY. Shapard's ,plan for di recting attention tc Missoula and the Bitter Root will be put into effect and that the chambes of commerce will stand back of the arrangements. This plan is to have a man with headtuarters at Liviagston who will meet Westbound trains anc ride on some of them to Logan or tc whatever point it may be decided it best, interesting himself with the pas sengers who are looking for locations and calling their attention to the ad. vaqtages which this part of the state offers. The proposition has been dis cussed generally by business men witt whom Mr. Bhapard has taken it u and the executive committee of the board of trade has begun to investi gate the possibilities of putting it intc execution. Without the co-operatios of the railway it wil be impossible tc do anything, but if that is secured, 11 is believed that the funds negessary tc carry it through can be raised. Mr Shapard himself has volunteered to contribute liberally and there are oth ers who will do the same. The plan is not to conflict with the work of any other city but to boost for Missoula, That Is enough to keep one man busy all the time. The scheme is regarded as worth trying. The sessions of the farmers' institute, Saturday, were gratifying to the ex perts who conducted EXPERTS the meetings and were PLEASED. eminently satisfactory to the farmers who at tended. The chief cause for the sat isfaction which the experts felt was that the attendance was the largest there has ever been at any of the meetings held in this city. For some reason It has heretofore been difficult to get the local farmers interested in these, meetings and this was the first time they have turned out well. Dr. IElrod of the state university, who has always been active in furthering the work of the institutes, spoke yester day of the Saturday meetings appre clatively. "There was a better attend ance," said he, "and there was more interest than there has been at any previous institute here. At first the institute plan was regarded with some distrust by all of the farmers in the state; but in the rural districts there was always ,a better attendance than when the meetings were held In a city. This, pbrhaps, was natural, but it was not encouraging, The city )people( should be as much Interested in promoting these meetings as are the amorers and this year indicates that there is generally an appreciation of this fact. The attendance at the Satur day meetings was encouraging to the men who are working to develop a strong institute system in the state." Speaking yesterday of The Mlissou lian's news regarding the Bryan strike at Saltose, A. M. Stev SALTESE ens said: "I have re OUTCOOK. selved today Informa tion that confirms the news that you printed. My informant says there is no doubt of the richness of the ore which the Bryan people have encountered in their new tun nel; it is as rich as anything ever found in the district and there Is a great amount of it. I regard this as very Important; it means that there is no longer any doubt as to the richness or the permnanency of the ore body in the district and, to my mind, it means that we shall have mines around Sal tese that are as rich as anything in the Whole Coeur d'Alene district. The Stillinger strike adds confirmation to this belief and there are good indica tions in the Ben Hur and the Eddy and the Last Chance properties. I think that there Is going to be a great camp around Saltese and that it will be great in a short time. The work on the Eddy development is progressing well and I look for some important developmcnts there soon." With the Woman's club in the field with a building proposition, there is an important addition TALK OF to the list of structures BUILDING. to be erected by frater nal and other organiza tions In the city this year. The Elks anti the Masons are already well start ed on their construction work and will push operations further and faster as soon as spring settles down to busi ness. The Odd Fellows will build soon on their new Main street corner and their building will be one of the larg est In the city. The Woman's club is planning to proceed as rapidly as possible with its building work and will probably have definite plans be fore long. There is also talk among the members of the Scandinavian Brotherhood looking to the erection of a home of their own. All of these plans are for the improvement of the city and each of them is a matter of public concern. Washington Qnoe Gave Up to three doctors; was kept in bed for five weeks.

If people could only understand that catarrh is an internal scrofula-that nothing applied externally does much good-they would not need to be warned so often about this fatal dis ease, which, when neglected, Invaria bly ends up in consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet catarrh is easily cured if the right treatment is employed. Catarth is caused by germs in the blood which circulate throughout the entire system. External remedies give but temporary ease. Although the ef fects are often seen in the form of pimples, rash, eczema or dry, scaly skin, the trouble is internal, and can never be cured by external remedies. The only way to cure catarrh is by employing a medicine which is ab sorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mu cous membrane of internal lining of the body is thoroughly medicated, soothed, disinfected of germ matter, and the soreness healed. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for 30 years studied and made catarrh a specialty and whose record of sue cess was a cure in every case where his treatment was followed as pre. scribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu Tone. We are so positive that it will cure catarrh in all its various forms. whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails to cure or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall Muou Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not contract any obligation or risk when you try Rex all Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes. The prices are 50c and $1. Very often the 50 cent size effects a cure. Of course, in chronic cases a longer treat ment is necessary. The average in such instances is three $1.00 bottles.

About two years ago two prominent business men of Anaconda received letters from a certain writer who claimed relationship with them and who, for political reasons, was lan guishing In a prison cell, and held un der the closest surveillance by the prison officials. The prisoner claimed to be able to receive letters and to answer them through the medium 01 a certain kind hearted chaplain who acted as a middleman for the prison. er and his outside correspondents. The ostensible object of the letter writer was to secure a iomicile for his daughter, who was being held In a convent. The letter told of mis fortunes galore, of hardships and pri vations, but through all the man un der guard had managed to save a snug fortune frojn seizure by the au thorities, and offered one-fourth of the whole if the supposed relatives on this side would assist in the care of the young girl. The first letters addressed to them greatly interested the Ana conda men, who took up the matter through the medium of the "chaplain," finally deciding to make a trip to old Madrid for the purpose of invqstiga tion. Diligent search was made throughout Spain for the "chaplain," the political prisoner and the detained girl, but without success. The whole matter was flnally reported to the po lice who advised the Montana men that they had been victimizsed by an unscrupulous grafter. Yesterday Gus Broman received a letter from Madrid from a man giving the name of Angel Rulz Broman, who claimed relationship with the Mis soula storekeeper. In the letter the writer mentions his mother, Mrs. An na Broman, and says she "broke re lationship," but always spoke very highly of Gus. In a postscript the writer begs Mr. Broman not to send registered letters on account of the "trouble" they cause the "chaplain." A business card In closed in the letter shows the name of Pedro Verdier, Colemnar Viejo, Mira flores De ILa Sierra, Madrid. This is the address the writer requests his correspondents to use when answering his correspondence. Probably the most unique-. feature of the letter is claim of the Madrid writer to rela tionship with Mr. Broman, who is a native of Sweden, while the Madrid man is supposed to be a Spaniard. The letter in full is given: "Madrid, 27-1-909.-Mr. Gustave Broman. My Dear Sir: Knowing your generosity and good feeling and the relationship I think to have with you I expect you will atterid me. "My mother Mrs. Anna Broman by some unknown reasons broke the re lationship with her family but she al way smnke vers hkihl n ~w.. "I fear that this letter may not reach yop but in the circumstances I am I cannot \Wait more. My father was a great el)gineer who worked many years under the direction of Mr. Ferdinand Lessep when the great work for the opening bf the 'Yuber Oeeanic Canal of Panama.' It was very easy for me to obtain a good employ under Mr. Lessep protection when I had the missfortune to lose my father and a year after my mother and wife also, leaving me a daughter. "By those means I loon was the principal man in that Comapny's busl ness, when I began to have a good strengh the politicals rivals of France brought the great tumults of the House of Commons where many of highest persons of France lost their honor. As soon as I saw the first ac cusation I went to London where I placed my stock in a reliable bank but in a manner that it could be returnel where and by whom I should wish. I turned back to Paris but in view of increased scandals am fearing to be arrested as I had hidden many impor tant documents. I took the checks and receipts payable to bearer I had amounting nearly 98,500 pounds plac ing them in a secret orawer of my baggage which could not be discovered and made by myself, then begged or a friend to carry my daughter to Gib raltar where I should go alone in order to embark for America. All was ready to start when I was surprised by po lice coming brutally to arrest me. I was provoked by such manner and my indignation and despair almost .made me mad I made so great resistance against them that at last I was beaten and wounded so badly that at first moment all believed me dead. I have been one month without feeling my situation but I am a little better al though not well at all. "My extradition has been allowed for to be carried to Paris at the dis posal of Court which ordered by ar restation as well as the baggage which has been seized me. "My desire toward you is as follow: it is verg easy to get the drawer where by papers are with all the val les of my property thanks to my pre cautions of the secret. "Besides I have got the best sym. pathles of the worthy chaplain of this Prisons who thinking I am a poor he has put my daughter at a college. The great rectitude of Chaplain made nec essary that he remain unknown of all the existence of my property and thus he will carry baggage and daughter to your country to your side as my wishes are that you may be her seo ond father. "Nothing more I can say now till your answer but that I am ready to give you the fourth paat of my prop. erty and the interest of the whole stook during my daughter minority or until her marriage. "Reply must come under two en velopes one for me and the outside to a relative of Chaplain (who thinks I write for familiar business) addressed like enclosed card.
