GERMAN SYRUP. mo other medicine in the world
was ever given such test of its curative qualities as
Boschee's German Syrup. In three years two million
four hundred thousand bottles of this medicine were
distributed free of CHARGE by druggists in this
country to those afflicted with Consumption Asthma,
Group severe Coughs Pneumonia, and other diseases
of the Throat and Lungs, giving the American people
undeniabe proof that German Syrup will cure them.
The result has been that druggists in every town and

their customers Go to your Druggist and ask what
they know about it. Sample Bottles 10cents. Regular

PlCASSn

The ladies' sociable, held at the residence
of MIR. and Mrs. j. Ii. Taylor on Thursday
evening last, will be long remembered. by
the large crowd in attendance, as one of the
NEST pleasant social gatherings ever held
in Bozeman. Perhaps the most enjoyable
feature Of the occasion was the presentation
Of package containing $50 in money to
Rev. Mr.. Richards, Pastor of the Presby-
terrain Church, from his friends in Boze-
man. The package was presented by Maj.
Bruce in very neat and appropriate
speech. expressive of the peoples high APP
probation Of Mr.. Richards ministerial Ia
bors and their esteem for him as a
Christian gentleman. Mr.. Richards very
modestly responded, expressing his most
sincere thanks, his sense of unworthiness
of the numerous acts of kindness and af-
fectionate regard shown him, and his most
earnest desire for tile spiritual welfare of
all. The beautiful solos rendered by Mrs.
L S. Wilson. with the piano and cornet
accomplishments by Mrs. Taylor and Prof.
Charpie, served to make this one of the
most enjoyable social gatherin- IS ever
brought together in our pleasant cOmmun-
ity. 1t may SAVIOR of egotism for Bozeman
to claim the highest musical talent, especi-
ally the most accomplished and best So
plano voice in the Territory, but such we
believe to be the fact, although our excess
sive modesty has enjoined silence hereto
fore. But we are crowding out deserved
notice OF the cake and ice cream refresh
ments-the liberal plate contribution of
Spite happy greetings-the social chats
and the pleasant good-byes. This was not
one of the .'mum' sociables.
