Mother complaints are 80 insidious in their

perhaps from trifling or unconscious ex.

with throat and lung diseases, and should be
eaken in all cases without delay.

STRUCK 1T O.
A Report that an Important Gold Discov-
cry Has Been Made in the Bears
Paw Mountains.

From a gentleman who arrived Tues
day evening our reporter learned that on
Thursday last a man from the Bears
Paw mountains passed the ranch Of Mr..
Bailey, on Wolf creek, looking for a
couple of his friends who were at work
In the timber, to inform them of a rich
discovery af gold recently made in the
Bears PaV iHHoHaHHlai9s. He went for
them and they all returned without
waiting to load their wagons, and eaity
the next morning left for the mountains.
From all that could be learned the dis
covery exceeds in richness anything YET
found. The statement was made that
gold could be scraped up by the nand-
full, which occasioned considerable ex-
element in the locality Of Wolf creek.
The hurry and excitement of the party
indicate that an important find has been
made, but we have been unable to learn
any further particulars. If there Is
anything in the rumor we will doubtless
get particulars soon.

Foreign Trade, as Treated in the Presi-

SUBSCRIBER

In the course of this communication,
to the policy of this government as re-
CARDS the extension of our foreign trade.
It seems proper to declare the general
principles that should in my opinion,
underlie our national efforts in this
direction. The main condition of the
problem may be thus stated: We are a
people in the mechanical pusuits and
fertile in invention. We cover a vast
extent Of territory, rich in agricultural
products and in nearly all the raw ma
terials necessary for successful manufac-
ture. We have a system Of productive
establishments more than sufficient to
supply our W demands. The wages
Of labor are nowhere else SO great. The
scale of living of our artisan classes is
such as tends to secure their personal
comfort and the development of those
higher morals and intellectual qualities
that 60 to the making of good citizens.
Our system Of tax and tariff legislation
is yielding q revenue which is in excess
of the present needs Of the governmet.
These are the elements from which it is
sought to devise q scheme by which,
without unfavorably changing the con
dition Of the Workingman, our merchant
marine shall be raised from its enfeebl-
led condition and new markets provided
for the sale beyond our borders Of the

The Valentine Mystery.

A resident of Highwood brought in a
lot Of fragments Of charred bones a day
or two since, found in the ashes of a
camp fire in the region where Valentine
is supposed to have been foully dealt
with, and the superstition is that they
are the remains of the frame of Stoner's
victim. The bones have been examined
by experts who give the opinion that
they belong to a human being, although
it is difficult to tell with certainty. The
theory is that Stoner after killing his
man burned the body, expecting inthis
way to remove all trace of the crime.
IF this is true. however, he did not do
the work in a complete manner.
There was a rumor in town Yesterday
that Stoner had been seen on HighWood
but it can not be traced to any definite
source and is probably without good
foundation.

Blows Blow at Horse Stealing.


To Peter Blow. Of Helena, special in
spector of the U.S S. treasury department,
belongs the credit of devising means for
blocking the game of horse thieves who
have heretofore frequently avoided
judicial proceedings in the territoay by
claiming that stock found in their pos
session came from Canada. Mr.. Blow,
whose duty it IS to prevent as far as
possible any infringement of the reve-
III laws, decided that horses that were
brought from the British possessions
across the line into Montana came
under the head Of smuggled property.
The first Seizure made by him under
this new rule was at Miles City last
week where he seized sixteen horses
out Of a band Of forty that were captur-
ed last month near Glendive by Custer
county officers. The animals are now
being held at Fort Keogh pending a
decision of the case at the December
term of court at Bozeman.-Inter Noun

The Last Hanging Expedition.


Several members of the Cattlemen's
association were interviewed by a Tri-
bune representative, recently, on the
prospect of having the entire population
of the upper Missouri valley hung by a
squad of cowboys who have been scour-
ing the extreme northern country for
some time. The names of the gentle
men are omitted by request. They adj
mitted that the association to which
they belonged had engaged the cowboys
to make the raid which has lasted for
some time, and which has assisted very
materially in increasing the population
Of eternity. They did not believe that
their men had punished an innocent
party during the entire siege. The rep
resentatives Of the great cattle interests
said that every man who had been ar
rested or hung by the cowboys had also
been watched or Swallowed for months.
His record was known, and proof posi-
tive was secured before any action was
taken against him. They believe that
there never will be need of another raid
as the boys will make a clean sweep of
the horse thieves this trip.-Bismarck

Last evening about IL o'clock, two boys com.
ing down the Bosten & Maine west track, and
when near the car house, discovered the body
of man lying between the rails. They at
once gave an alarm and the yardmen went to
the place. There they found the body of
George Earl of Lewiston, about % years of
age, who was employed in the restaurant at
the transfer station. Undertaken Rich was tel
ephoned, went down with his ambulance and
brought the body up to his rooms. The mans
left leg was cut off between the knee and an
kle, the right foot crushed, both arms broken,
and other bad bruises were inflicted about the
body.
Earl was last seen alive at the depot, and
about nine o'clock started up the
track for the transfer. At the same time
freight train started and it is thought than in
attempting to get aboard he fell under the
cars.
Coroner Gould viewed the remains and will
hold an inquest this afternoon. Earl has a
mother and sister now living in Lewiston.

RESERVES, IA; PoRTLANDs, 3.
The Boston Reserves played the Portlands yester-
day afternoon. and at the close of the game the
score was as above. The Reserves are fine looking
set of ball players and play good game, especially
Joselyn and Moriarty, the latter being lightning
thrower. Annis, of the regulars, played centre
field for the Reserves. The Portlands played
loose game from start to finish, and had we not
known they were professional players, would never
have taken them to be such. Abbott was injured
in the fourth inning and gave way to Callahan,
Chatterton taking first base Barnes going to third
and Abbott to right field. Up to this time the Re-
serves had hit hard and got in five base hits, but
from this time out secured only four base hits off
Fish. The Portlands ought to be ashamed of this
game, for we know that they play ball better
than they did yesterday and we shall look for their
next game, on Thursday, as much more credita-
BILE exhibition than that of yesterday. Barnes got
two base hits out of the fOnr, and CULVER and
Fish played fine game. O'Connor did not play on
account of his arm being lame he said but there
are those who think such was not the case.
About 700 people were in attendance, but fully
one-haf of them left the ground on account of the
lateness of the hour. Manager Burnham had better
return to the old time 3 O'Clock. The following is
the detailed score:

form.
A large number of Biddeford people came in to
see the game yesterday.
The Reserves play the Citizens this afternoon in
Biddeford.
We were asked several times yesterday if Mr..
Batchelder was umpirng as well as usual, or if he
was trying to get a reputation for position as a
league umpire next season. Some of his decisions
looked like the latter, yesterday.
We think Joselyn is one of the finest first base
men we ever saw.
The Portlands tried new, man yesterday named
ChattertOn. He played fairly.
The Our Boys defeated the Tremonts at the Or
phan Asylum picnic at Little Diamond Island,
yesterday, by score of IL to IL.

engaged by Manager Burnham as pitcher on the
Portlands and he is now on his way TO this CITY,
The Sanfords and Boston Reserves will play here
Friday afternoon at o'clock, under the manage
ment of Manager Durham, and a good game is
anticipated
O'Connor was released by Manager Burnham last
night for refusing to pitch the game against the
Reserves. He was also surrendered ito the officers
by bis bondsmen on the charge of stealing recently
preferred against him.

Speeches by Emory siOrrs of Illinois and
Il. Moody BOynt0n of MRssachusetts.

The Republicans of Ward Five will throw
to the breeze, tonight, an historical flag, from
the headquarters on Congress street, just
above Oak street. The flag is one that was
raised in 1860, in the first Lincoln and Hamlin
campaign. 1t is 34x20 feet in size, and it is
owing to the great care of Mr. Samuel Thur
ston of Ward Five, in whose possession it has
been, and by whom it has been most sacrealy
guarded, that he is now enabled to present it
to the Blaine and Logan Club of the ward,
where it will wave over another Republican
victory.
The Blaine Guards will march to Ward 5
Headquarters, where, at o'clock p. M,
Ohandler's Band will play and the flag be
raised, after which Hon. W. f. Lunt will ad-
dress the gathering. From thence the pro-
cession will march to City Hall, where Hon.
A. A. Strout will preside, and speeches will be
made by Emory Storrs of Illinois, one of the
most brilliant and interesting speakers on the
platform to-day, and e. Moody Boynton of
Massachusetts,, whose merits as a speaker are
well known here. That the Republicans will
gather in force to hear these gentlemen is q
foregone conclusion.

Excitement al standish.

Charles Wescott Of Standish Neck. owned a
pair of fine large fat cattle which girth seven
feet. On Friday night the pair was stolen
from the pasture. After a long search an OK
was found two or three miles this side of the
pasture, in piece of land off an old logging
path, and not far off the hide and hoofs of the
other OK. Monday, butcher at Windham
Centre told Wescott he had bought a beef
carcass from man hailing from Sebago Lake
for $50. 1t is reporter that three men have
been arrested on suspicion of being concerned
in the matter. The farmers are very much or.
cited over the affair,
