We are happy TO be able to state that this
dreaded and dreadful disease seems TO be un.
der control in the cases of those suffering
with IT,. IL is confined to the families of Mr.
r. s. Kelley and Mr.. Thomas Stuart. Only
the youngest two of the former are sick, and
they seem TO be doing as well as possible
without much change of symptoms. The
same may be said with more confidence Of
the three sick ones in Mr.. Stuarts family
especially of the eldest. The only death in
torn during the week was that of Jimmie
Stuart.
Some of the family of Mr.. NJ Beck, on

The Cpur d'Aienes

Last Tuesday Saml Allison passed through
Deer Lodge, en- route 10 Butte, from the CGur
HAlene mines. He reports n good passable
trail open from Trout Creek station, on the
Northern Pacif c railroad, to Eagle City, a
distance of about 10 miles He walked over
the trail between the above two points In IL
hours, and said that aside from one high
summit 10 cross, the travelling was as good ~
along the streets of Deer Lodge. Mr.. ALI
son has "A clam In the new III Dorado, and
feels saRguine that IL will pan out well when
he gets prepared 20 work IL properly. His
claim, in common with others, embraces 20
acres, but as a rule locators of these large
tracts have taken IN from three to a dozen
partners, thus dividing the ground up among
a large number of people. Being questioned
rs TO the proposition made by the miners TO
cut claims down TO small lois, he said that
any arbitrary action on the part Of the
miners looking TO that point would be after
all laws Of the county and Territory had
been exhausted, resisted by the Federal Gov
eminent. At least a communication from
the Secretary Of War nc Washington had
been received TO that effect. Between GOO
aud 900 men are now IN the diggings, but
little was being done other than building
houses and preparing for the opening of the
mines in the spring. A great many were
going in, the trail being lined daily with
men pulling sleighs loaded with bedding aud
provisions. He was unable TO state how ex-
trnsive the mines are, but felt confident that
gold in large quantities would be taken out,
.iudgin from the prospect thus far obtained.
Tie Widows Claim" had been closed down
under an injunction suit, and the miners be-
ing in sympathy with the widow, the chances
were greatly in favor of her beating the
Jumpers in the final trial. He says there is
considerable snow on the ground but the
weather was not cold. The first of next
June has been fixed upon as representation
day, and according TO resolutions passed at
recent miners meeting, further jumping of
claims will be prohibited until that date.
The miners now feel secure In their rights,
and are not afraid TO leave the camp in
search Of means and provisions with which
to work their claims. He proposes 10 sell a
portion Of his claim before returning.

A word of warning

Numerous suits have recently been institu
ted by us in New York city against parties
for selling what they claimed to be Hostel.
tiers Stomach Bitters, in bulk, and also for
rrfilling the second hand Hostetter Bitter
bottles with spurious stuff and selling Ii ont
by the dose or otherwise, q number of which
suits have been settled by the defendants
paying damages and costs, and allowing a
decree of perpetual Injunction TO be taken
others Of the said suits are now being prose
cuted and a. we never fail TO convict, as the
Court Records of st. Louis, New Orleans
and other points fully affirm, we give this
friendly warning for the benefit of any who
may be following the nefarious business OF
preying on the wel-earned reputation Of our
preparation, by palming OFF on the public a
spurious article purporting 20 be genuine, as
we will most assuredly call them TO ac-
count, when, perhaps, they may the least
expect IT, -.

Helena Independent.
The Convention which met In our city on

ever assembled in this Territory, To II we
have committed most sacred tf.sst--to pre-
pare the organic law which shall give char

relations, our religious privileges, our social
enioyments, and our individual Importance;
In short, to frame the palladium of oui
liberties.
This Convention Ii thoroughly represent
alive; since all the great industries of the
country aud all parties are represented by
able men.
We shall expect good work from such q
body Of picked men; and all will be disap-
pointed If they fail to make the best Consti-
tuition Ia the country.
Men who have so long breathed this free
mountain air, snd have had SO many oppor-
tunities TO see how far the man Is above all
bis possessions, canrot fail TO inspire the
organic law with the spirit OF liberty. and
canse this mgis Of our rights TO shield us
from all oppfessors, and protect as all alike
In the enjoyment Of all our inalienable
rights, our social privileges, our religious
worship, and our political powers. We look
FOR the organization of body polite pbysi-
cally strong. intellectually powerful, morally
pure. and politically sovereign and free.

water.

CON ,TITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
WORK DONE BY THE CONVENTION
DURING THE PAST WEEK.


No morning session of the Constitutional
Convention was held, except TO call the rell
and to adjourn till 2r. IN.
AT the hour mentioned the Convention
met in Harmonic Hall, to which the furni-
| ture, etc, had been removed in the mean-
time from the former place of meeting
| The following communication was received
| and read:
| BOHEMIAN, January Is, 1884.
| To the Members Of the Montana Constitutional
Convention:
INSTRUMENTATION me rs one of the first
| settlers of Montana TO suggest that in franz
| ing an organic law for State government,
you discard the official titles of Governor
| aud Lieutenant Governor, which came down
to us from the Colonial period, and are OBJ
noxiou,ly morarchial in their significance
substituting therefor the more Republican
| terms of President and Vice President.
To the latest admitted States the student
of our most perfect of political systems will
naturally look to find those improvements
which were contemplated and confidently
predicted by the fathers. May they find the
best illustration in the State of Montana
The Union was originally formed of States
whose governmental forms had long been
established, which probably explains why
the obnoxious titles were carried over from
the Colonial into the natural period; but as
the chief magistrate of State is nowhere
referred to in the constitution as Governor
the word Executive" being used instead, it
is reasonable to presume that its trainers
thought that if the original States should not
in time change the title to harmonic with
the spirit and title of the National charter,
that 1t might wisely be discarded by the new
States. Respectfully submitted.
HoRATIo n. MAGURE.
The communication was referred to the
Committee on Executive Department.
A vote of thanks by the Convention was
rendered to the committee TO which was re-
ferred the matter of procuring better hail.
and also TO the Hon. J. Il. Tooker for his ac-
ton in the premises.
The President then announced the list of
standing committees, which were given in
our last issue, and the Territorial Secretary
was requested to have 100 copies of the list
printed.
After this long discussion followed as to
IhS piOpei "'V'"e 'Pe' '"'"t ioi SohinehSihS
to form constitution, some members hold
ing that the proper course would be to take
the constitution of some recently admitted
State rs a basis; others, that each member
IL hG so desireiD might present a constitu-
ton out of which the best part might be
taken; and Others that the various commit
tees should formulate a constitution, in sec
tionS and present it to the Convention.
The last course was decided upon ; after
which the Convention adjourned till 10
o'clock Friday morning.
