DEERLoDGE Montana, Dec. TO- Ao;o.
I have been using BRANDRETH's PILLS
for the last thirteen years, and though
have had nine children, have never had
q doctor in the house, except three times,
when we had an epidemic of scarlet fever,
which we soon banished by a vigorous use
of BRANDRETH's PILLS. Ihave used them
for myself, two or three night, for month,
for liver complaint, dyspepsia, and consti-
patton. In diurrhea, cramps, wind collie,
indigestion, one or two BRANDRETH
PILLS fixed the children at once. A box
of Pills is all the medicine chest we re-
quire in the house. We use them for
rheumatism, colds, catarrh, biliousness,
and impure blood. They never have failed
to cure all the above complaints in a very
few DAYS. WILLIAM w. b. MILLER.

Utah Should Not he Admitted to State
hood Until PoIygamy II Abolished.
The majority report Of the Utah Commits
sion, signed by @. l.. ID. Godfrey. A. b. Will
Jams. and Arthur L. Thomas. has been fled
i'm Washington, as follows:
IL recommends that Utah be not admit ed TO
the Union until such time as the Mormon people
shall manifest by their future acts that they
have abandoned polygamy In good faith, and not
then until an amendment shall have been made
TO the Constitution OF the United States prohib-
iting the practice OF polygamy. IL says the con.
vention which a opt the proposed cons litution
upon which appeal was made 70 Congress for
admission TO the Union was held without author
ity from any proper source Ii is further as serted
that the proposed constitution il silent with
respect TO the crime OF polygamy, and the Com
missioners are OF the opinion that the Govern
ment cannot afford TO surrender th great advan-
tage which Il now holds, and which has been SCI
cured at much expense and trouble. They also
think that no harm can result from delay In the
admission of the Territory. It is also stated in
the report that the Democra ic and Repub-
lcan parties OF Utah. I'm their conventions
recently held Endorsed the posi- ion take in the
ma ority report The report concludes that the
Mormon Church Is committed TO policy which,
II successful, will prove de struc i've TO the pub
lie school system i'm Utah. During the year then o
have been eight indictments for polyRamy and
four convictions, 304 indictments for unlawful
cohabitation, and 326 convictions.

r,c. On the Ocean wave

Indurates the stomach against sea sickness, but
a single or occasional transit across the -illimit-
able wetness" is productive Of grievous qualms,
especially when 1t Is stormy. Ocean travellers,
yachtmen, ship surgeons, commercial buyers
sent abroad, voyagers by steamboat, and all who
are occasionally or frequently called upon TO be
where "billows are buffeted," should take along
Hostetter's stomach Bitters, the finest known
antidote for sea sickness malaria, biliousness,
and disorders OF the stomach and bowels. Many
travellers by railroad, with delicate stomachs and
nerves, likewise suffer severely en- route These
will find the Bitters surely helpful and consola-
tory. Travelling even in swift stea iy and com
modious steamships and sumptuous palace cars,
Is not always a source OF unmixed JOY and de-
light, and the Bitters does much TO counterfeit
the discomforts attending IL, aggravated by deli

TRADE AND CROPS.

The Agricultural Outlook Most Flattering-
Large Increase of Values.
In their review for last week. Dun & Co.
say:
Doubt about the corn crop has vanished. Els
Inmates vary, but IL is doubtless the largest crop
ever raised. The increase of more than $50 000,-
900 bushels in this crop far outweighs in value
any loss in tho yield Of wheat and also any pos
of oats is also the largest on record, and the
yield of hay and potatoes excellent 1t is safe
TO say that this year agricultural produce will
represent at least one hundred millions more
money than last year 3, ut average prices
for both Trade slightly check
ucts prices have yielded but little,
and packing falls much behind last year. Corn
has fallen but one cent, notw. outstanding the
great yield. At Kansas City the market for
cattle is overstocked. and prices are 30 low

trade is large. Tho iron market is stron .er
at Philadelphia, but weaker Mt Pittsburg

weeks late, and forwarding is delayed by the
stoppage OF traffic. At all Western points be-
yond the danger Of fever business is reported
good of improving, though more complaint OF
Glow collections is heard. Money Is generally in
Cleveland and the demand is strong at st. Louis
and Milwaukee, Kansas City reports loans

easy ut Omaha. August imports exceeded ex-
ports by Sll,671,3 52 and the excess for eight
months was SS7, 9O926. From New York the
exports for the last four weeks have been per

those Of 1897 Tho business failures for the

An Oddly Named Family.

Names are sometimes oddly thrown
on the heads of unoffending babes at
the birth or christening, and they hang
to them all their lives, The Kumler
family are remarkable for their names
as well as their good luck. One child
was called Theodore, King of Abys-
sinia;" another Jeremiah, Prophet
Elisha" third, "Martha's Vineyard; )"
while fourth went through the world
as "Terra Del Fuego," or del" for
short. There was also "Sir Walter
Scott Kumler," and "Festus, King
Agrippa," shortened as "Fes." When
they signed their names they generally
wrote the initials. Two of the family
were prominent men of Toledo. One,
J. p. E., generally had a fat charge,
and was for years pastor of the Seventh
Street Church; another is a Judge, and
another is the handsomest man in
Northern Ohio.

western Pennsylvania about four years ago, has
been pardoned.
In giving their reasons for the pardon the
board review the case, going into many details
of the trial. There was nothing in the
evidence to controvert the allegation OF Weston
that in all he did he believed he was conforming
to the strict letter OF the law in his efforts TO
maintain what he believed to be his rights. It
was difficult, says the Board, to see wherein
Weston was more guilty than others who were
present and concerned with him. Westons
pardon was strongly recommended by many
prominent people, all Of whom declared he was
a law-abiding and peaceable citizen. Weston at
once returned to his home in Chicago.
