Wonderful Geysers in Montana.
North Missouri River Press. .

One of the singular natural phe-
nomena known in this section is the
formation of the two geysers il the
strip of country known as the Sag,
about mile and half from Mr.. Pat
terson's ranch, on the Shonkin. They
were first seen about month ago.
They are situated in a small canyon
running out from the wall of rocks on
the east Of Alkali lake. Two geysers
have appeared, one of them being Of
monster proportions, throwing up
"a column of hot water and
steam over 100 feet high, the
other spouting about fifty feet, but with
a larger proportion of water. The dia-
meter is about four inches. The geysers
are intermittent in character, and are
active during the morning hours. about
s or O'Clock. The formation of the
country is a sandstone and gneiss, and
has all the appearance Of being an an
cient river bed. What has produced
this curious phenomenon it is, of course,
only useless to speculate, as there is no
evidence of ancient volcanic activity,
and no hypothesis can be formed
which will account for it.

constant work, certainly except the

western press also, because it gives
more swing and freedom than we have
here. The New York dailies are set
up III the midst of such tremendous in

that there is suspicious criticism of

Useless and HurtfuI Medicines.

There is a certain class of remedies for eonsti-

potIons made in great part of pOdophylin, aloes,
rhubarb gamboge and other worthless ingredi-

those who use them is incalculable. They evacu-
