THE CANCER THEORY.
Revived in the Case of Emperor Frederick

LONDON, April 15.-The change in the
condition of Emperor Frederick recalls
the fact that Prof Bergman long ago
predicted that symptoms of a grave char
acter would be observable at about this
period and that another stage of the dis
ease, which he indicated, would become
manifest about six weeks later. The
stages thus far marked, together with the
present verification of DR.. Bergmann's
prophecy, have revived the cancer theory
and largely spread popular belief therein.
In consequence of the revival of discus
sion on this point the press have resumed
publication of articles in profusion specu-
latlng upon the European situation in the
event of the death of the emperor, and
particularly at the time when the spirit
of Boulangerism seems to become domi-
nant in France. The news from Berlin up
to midnight is.very meager and of ma
ture suggesting the exercise of unusual
rigorous censorship, inducing the belief
here that the condition Of the emperor is
more serious than at any time since his
succession to the throne. 1t is worthy of
remark that almost simultaneously yes
terday evening the Paris Soir and two
minor afternoon papers IN Berlin publish
ed reports of the emperor's death, a coin
cidence which has significance in the fact
that similar publications preceded the
death of Emperor William by less than
eighteen hours.
Berlin, April 15.-The emperor re-
NAMED in bed until o'clock to-day. The
irritation produced by the canula caused
frequent attacks of coughing and disturb
ed the emperor's rest until early in the
morning. After rising the emperor
walked in the garden and orangery and
received visits from the crown prince and
princess, and the grand duke and duchess
of Baden. Later, Count Gutenberg re-
ported verbally ON state affairs. Thous-
ands of people waited for many hours in
Unter den Linden in the hope of seeing
the emperor drive out. His majesty was
unable to even attend chapel. It is learn
ed even through reliable sources that
Emperor Frederick wanted to extend am
nesty to all socialists and to recall all
those who had been banished, but that
Prince Bismarck dissuaded him from do
ing so.
The emperor suffers somewhat from a
catarrhal affection of the trachea, due to
irritation resulting from the insertion Of
a new tube to replace the old one. His
surgeons are fearful that bronchitis may
supervene, owing to the fact that the new
tube cannot be made to settle in its place
without inficting pain and inducing in
fammation. The emperor's temperature
has increased considerably. At midnight
it transpires that the emperor was con
fined to his bed all day with a violent
cough.-Cable to the st. Paul Globe

STOCK GROWERS, ASSOCIATION.
The Meeting at Miles City--Important Busi-
ness Discussed.

The fourth annual meeting of the Mon
tana Stock Growers association met at
Miles City April 18th. Fifty members
answered roll call. The secretary's an
nual report showed a membership OF BIG
at the last meeting. There had been five
deaths and nine designations during the
wear Receipts from all sources were
s3311.77 and disbursements $2,53O2O. DIR.
Holloway, territorial veterinarian, has
been very successful in the discharge of
his duties, and our borders are SO pro-
tected that there is no danger of disease
being introduced Competing railroads
in the territory had made a voluntary re-
duction of freight rates of one third the
old tariff.
The Street Cattle Car company and the
Ripley Car company had cars on hand for
the inspection of the stockmen, and a
committee was appointed to examine into
the merits of each and report.
The question of transportation for the
year brought out Col. Malone of the Mil
waukee, who said he did not believe rates
would be any lower than last year, but
certainly not any higher Mcdaniel, OF
the Manitoba, had no statement to make
regarding rates. but would try to furnish
the cars this convention adopted. L. c.
Power did not consider there was any
chance for steamboats, to compete With
railroads unless the treasury surplus was
used in the improvement Of the great wa
terways.
Dr. Holloway, territorial veterinarian,
addressed the convention on the subject
Of glanders in Montana. He had killed
300 head of diseased horses during the
year. "Maladie du Coit," disease of re-
cent introduction in in the territory, he
said was more to be feared than glanders,
and unless completely eradicated would
spread all over the country with disas-
trous effect. The disease was now con-
confined to Fergus county, where it was
introduced by Washington territory
horses. Holloway then delivered long
dissertation on horse diseases.
Mr. J. J. Thompson offered a resolution,
in the interest of economy, that this asso-
citation withdraw from the National Cat
tie and Horse Growers association, the
membership having cost 81, ,250 and no
substantial benefit had been received.
The wolf question was introduced by
T. G. Power, who stated that in the Ju
dith country the mortality in young calves
through wolves was greater than by hard
winter. The repeal Of the bounty law
left no inducement to kill them and they
we're multiplying rapidly. He suggested
that committee be appointed to try and
have the legislature restore the bounty on
wolves and bears, coyotes and mountain
lions. Scotch stag hounds we're recon-
mended as sure medicine for wolves. A
committee was finally appointed to look
after the matter of the restoration of the
bounties.

A New Name for Nurses.

Montana people are noted for originali-

to their mind, is lacking in force, they i'm
mediately drop it, substituting one more
expressive, if less euphonious. An east

On a Summers Vacation.

Hon W. G. Conrad and family took
their departure on Mondays west bound
train for Helena and from thence will go
over the Northern Pacific to their palatial
home in the mountains of Virginia. a
few hours run from Washington. Here
they will spend the delightful spring and
early summer months. 1t is the intention
of Mr. Conrad to resolve himself into a
committee Of one to labor for the inter
ests of northern Montana in general and
Fort Benton in particular during his east
ern visit. There are some mammoth en-
terprises on hand which affect the welfare
of Fort Benton and Mr.. Conrad feels that
he can be of more service to this commu-
nifty by spending his time at and near the
financial and commercial centers of the
country. Mrs. Conrad will be sadly miss
ed from the social circles of her adopted
home. She has always taken a leading
part in social life, and her elegant home
has been the scene of many brilliant
and pleasant gathering of Benton's fair
est and bravest, who will remember those
occasions as among the most delightful
they ever experienced. We are glad to
know that when summer begins to wane
they will leave their pleasant mountain
retreat and return to their Benton home
for the fall and winter months. This
speaks well for our Montana climate,
which has charms that even the sunny
southern land cannot equal

The North West Tribune says: S'The
Herald and Inter Mountain are stimula-
ting James Ell. Mills for the race for dele
gate to congress- etc. This reminds us of
the Scotchman, who, boasting Of his an
cestry, dating back nearly to Adam, was
interrupted by friend with the stunning
remark that "there was no record of any
of his name having been in the ark" and
the reply: "Hoot, Sandy; did you ever
hear of Mcpherson that didn't have a
boat of his own?" Did you ever hear of
an editor that didn't do his own stimula-
ting?-New Northwest.
The foregoing seems to add Importance
to conundrum that for some time we
have been thinking of propounding to the
public, and that is: "Why the Butte
Inter Mountain has SO generously
suggested so many excellent names-does
not stimulate it's own able editor, John
B. Read, for the race for delegate to con-
gress?" Mr.. Reed is not only an excellent

is Interesting as it relates the history OF
Bennington, he being the first settler.
He was born in Cambridge, Mass, and
served in the Kings army during the
French and Indian wars. Returning
from Canada to his home in Massaohu-
sets, he mistook the Waloomsac for the
Hoosick River. and following its course
was so charmed with the surrounding
country that he called it the Land OF
Promise, and eventually returned here
with his family and located, calling it
Bennington, when other settlers follow
ed, after Gov. Benning Wentworth OF
New Hampshire.
1t seems that Col. Robinson was &C.

Congregationalism as taught in Massa

practice the doctrine of private interpre-

after him, set up a church of his own

Harrison is much more acceptable to
Indiana Prohibitionists than is Fisk him

he is not declared Prohibitionist, they
regard the great National issues as Of
