There He Goes.

Hosea Fisher is we'll known in
Butte. He resided here for long
time or, perhaps, longer.
Hosea ran away from his Butte
friends, went East and married q
most estimable young lady IN Iowa.
He returned to Montana with his
fair youne bride and located at STAN
ford, Meagher county, M. I. This
was q long, long time sgo-as much
as eighteen months or two years.
Hosea, after his return, engaged in
the cattle business and became pros
porous.
He became 50 prOsp er0us that at
this late date he writes his big
brother, "Dick" Fisher, as follows:
DEAR "DICK:"-I've got baby
that IS. my wife has. It's the first
baby 1 ever had In my life-I mean
that, BOTH, well-it's our first
born and I'm tickled most to death
and have decided 1000 head Of cattle
to the boy. He weighs 1Oa pounds
and we call him "Dick." Yours,

"Dick" is so pleased he has already
willed the kid seven lots and two
brick buildings standing on the
Smoke House Lode.
Such is life in the Far West.

serious nature of Gen. Grants disease
are confirmed by q diagnosis of the
epitheloma Of the tongue and face.
This disease, the name Of which Is
now perhaps heard by the general
public for the first time, assumes i'm
portance as to the -study::of which 1t
could never Otherwise obtain; conse-
quently the daily papers are educat-
ing the people with regard to 1t, 80
that the terms, epitheloma, mallg-
nancy and infiltration, vii be AZ
we'll understood as in former times
were those Of suppuratlon, pus track
and bullet cysts. As might have been
anticipated under the circumstances,
the published reports of the generals
condition are very much exaggerated.
The disesse is by no means so exten-
sive as is generally believed; in fact
heu!ceratiOns are small In extent,
and are limited to the right pillars Of
the fauOes, the anterior one being per-
forated at it's base, adjoining the right
side; the root of the tongue Is lndu-
ra,ed to o slight extent, as is also the
neigboring gland, under the angle of
the jaw on the right side of the neck.
The roof of the mouth, along the line
of the hard palate and to the right of
the medium line, contains three
small warty-like excrescences, which
show tendency toward cell proljfica-
ton. The epiglottis is free from any
abnormality, as are all the other
parts of the throat. Although indu-
ration of the tongue has existed more
or less since last fall, when the pa
tlent was seen by DR.. Douglass, the
alterations have appeared quite re-
Gently. It was during their progress
that the general suffered from pain
in the right ear, which has now been
entirely relieved by local applica-
ton of q solution Of cOacine. Under
the same treatment all pain In deg
Tuition is now entirely controlled, !,
and the patient is kept in q very
comfortable state. The pulse, which
Is normally 60 per minute, OCCASION
ally reaches 80 beats. Bodily temper
ature normal and appetite fair, which
is saying everything is in his favor,
ss the general is not q hearty eater.
His bodily condition is, however,
much below par, and IS more to be
considered at present than the local
disease. The treatment of the case
has been judiciously conservative
from the start. Fluid extract of cc-
Goa is Administered internally. and
idiofOrm is busted upon the ulcera-
tions. Contrary to the general inn
preston the tongue itself is not ulcer
ated nor has it been, as far as we can
learn; at any time during the pro-
gress of the disease. The tooth. said
to have been extracted for relief of
the lingual liberation, was on the
opposite or sound side of the mouth,
and was removed to relieve the per-
sistent ache in the left ear.
