which has done so we'll for Great Falls
has fortunately placed no high bluffs here
to inconvenience the bridge builders.
The bridge, Of which an engraving is
presented herewith, is intended to accom-
modate the growing trade of Great Falls,
which includes in her commercial terri
tory the vast region extending westward
to the slope of the Rocky mountains.
Here, as the Tribune map shows in the
special edition, is a country rich in min
eral, agricultural and grazing resources,
1t includes the towns Of Sun River, Cho
teau and Dupuyer and is watered by the
Sun, Teton and Maras rivers, which have
many tributaries. AS soon as the bridge
is opened for traffic. cattle, sheep, horses,
wool, farm produce and ores of that vast
region will come readily into Great Falls
without the delay and expense which the
ferries necessary involved.
The people at this side of the river will
also be benefited by the bridge, since it
will enable them to send goods more freely
to ranchmen in the Sun River valley who
are desirous to buy here where prices are
as low (and for some goods lower) than in
any part of the territory Henceforth the
Sun River valley will enjoy increased
Importance and farmers will find the
value Of their property enhanced.
This splendid bridge will be 996 feet
long and about 80 feet wide. The stone
piers are 81 feet long and feet wide.
They stand 12 feet above the surface of
the water and are strong enough to hold
firmly the spans which will be 131 feet
each, with the exception of one which
will be 80 feet. Seven spans of iron work
will be of the Pratt truss model, while |
the eastern span of 80 feet will be a deck
bridge on trestle bents. Approaches will
be graded up to the floor on both ends.
From the west end there will be a fine
public drive, through the park to Central
avenue. AS may be seen by the engrav
ing, the bridge will be an ornament to
the town and will add considerably to the
of the Missouri in this
locality.
Nearly all the ironwork for. the super
structure is now on hand and it will be
soon placed in position.

Good Reports from the Ranges-i Larp,
Wool Clip.

In reply to an inquiry relative to the
condition OF stock and sheep on the
ranges, Hon. T. E. Collins, president of
the First National bank of Great Falls,
saws: Cattle on the ranges are in SPLEEN
did condition. Tie losses will not reach
one per cent and are no greater than those
under ordinary circumstances in the
summer season. There are no losses
among the horses or sheep aud the out
look for a large clip is good. The winter
has been very favorable for the cattle in
terest Cattle and sheep have been able
every day to procure abundance OF grass
and the weather has been soft with the
exception of a few weeks in January
when the cold was severe, but not eX-
tremely so. There have been no blizzards
or severe storms. Northern Montana
Will ship more cattle than ever this wear.
and may count on an increase of 80 per
cent in the wool clip from this region.
The weather records show that our eli
mate corresponds this season with that of
northern Missouri or southern Illinois,"

the Illinois Central railroad tracks along
the shore commenced to sink. Load after
md of cinders was dumped off there and
worked under the ties, but every time a
train passed down would go the track for
several inches. The railroad people have
been working increasingly all day and
evening, keeping tile road led straight.
The water tunnel is about seventy feet
deep and a dozen feet IN diameter.
Enough dirt has already been taken out
to fill dozen holes, but no progress is
made. The sinking process has not yet
extended west Of the shaft, but should it
go west for any distance, several large
and costly buildings would probably suf-

before the special session of the house
committee today. The news spread like
Wlldtlre and the origin of the opposition
was freely laid to the Rocky Fork and Cook
City railroad, towards which great indig
nation was expressed. A mass meeting
OF citizens was called by the mayor and
was largely attended. The general SEN
tlment of the people was that unfair
means had been used to coerce the Indi-
ans, eighteen of whom are said to have
signed the petition. The m thods of the
Rocky Fork in attempting obstruction of
the road were deprecated and every citi-
zen was urged to lend aid in furthering
the passage Of the bill.

FLL1sToN, Mon, Februrry 21.-Martin
was captured at o'clock yesterday after
noon without a struggle. After his es-
cape from Anaconda he travelled to Mill
Greek and then returned to Warm Springs.
Thence he crossed Dog Creek hills to
Cnraboo and was on his way from there to
Elliston when captured. Frank Hatton
the deputy sheriff, tracked the fugitive
to the railroad and there arrested him on
q hand-car upon which he was riding
with section men. He was disguised,
and had shaved his moustache. He
wore large slouch hat and would not
have been recognized had not his pur-
suers been acquainted with him. He sur
rendered without resistance by throwing
up his hands. After his capture he stated
that he was on his way to Ft. Benton,
where his parents reside. The prisoner
was taken to Deer Lodge and placed in
Jail there. He will be taken to Anacon-
da for examination today. Should lynch
ers attempt to take him they will find
the sheriff well armed.

tinued, and when opposite the Valley
house Martin pulled revolver from his
pocket and struck Reardon twice over
the head with it, telling him to the
ground. He then kicked the PROSTATE
man, and wound up by shooting him
through the head. Death resulted almost
simultaneously. Martin, it is said lifted

work he had done, and then struck with
he enormity OF his crime, left the spot,

Weakness = M-lealtl

OWE their origin to an impure
state of the blood, the urinary
and digestive organs being first
to suffer. Therefore, medicines
that will strengthen these organs
and at the same time cleanse and
purify and renew the blood, will
have tendency to cure the major
ity of human ailments. Such a
remedy is Dr.. cuysott's FELLOW Dock
and SarsapaGila. and, although pro-
ducing no active cathartic or diu-
retic effect,its use will soon establish
apainless regularity of urinary and
digestive functions. It has long ago
proven itself specific for scrofula
and other syphilitic disorders, cur
ing such diseases even when all
other treatment, including Hot
Springs, failed. A great point in its
favor is that it contains no mercury
or any mineral poisons, and will
never harm the most delicate con-
stitution. It merely makes one
feel buoyant and rids the system
of blood impurities and other in
ternal and external indications Of
failing health.

CurabfIitY off Consumntion.

This has been vexed question
among physicians, opinions, even in
the same school, being strangely di-
vergent. Of this, however, the public
are convinced: it is terribly preva-
lent disease, and the average doctor
meets but with scant success in treat
ing it. Consumption is in reality
.scrofnla Of the lungs, and is liable to
attack any whose blood is tainted.
For driving out the scrofulous humors,
and thus removing the predisposing
cause, DIR Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is sovereign remedy. 1t
purifes bad blood, heals scrofulous ul-
GERS, and, whatever difference of opin-
ion exists as to curing advanced cases
of consumption, it remains that many
pronounced "incurable" have been by
it brought back from the brink Of the
grave to restored health and vigor.

IN CASES OF SUDDEN ILLNESS.
Some Rules Which Every Man Should
Have at Hand-H0w Many Lives
Can be Saved.

II see your paper recently suggested
a number of handy antldotes in cases
of poisoning by accident or otherwise, !"
said physician connected with the
Health Board to reporter for the
Mail and Express this morning. "but
there are other emergency cases just
as important as poisonings. Take cases
of drowning, sunstroke, suffocation by
gas, hanging and others where the
patient is found insensible. 1t seems
to me one should know what ough hit to
be done at such times as well as when
poison is taken. A few simple direc-
tions in these cases might easily be
printed, and in so small space that a
man could paste them in his bat
what are they?"
81 did not mean that you should
call on me for them. The Health
Board have already caused to be posted
in various public places list of rules
to use in cases of drowning and sun
stroke, because they are the most like
ly to occur at this season Of the year.
However, to show you that l am in
earnest, | will give you few hints.
Here they are:
One of the most frequent things
found in connection with cases re-
quiring immediate action is insensi-
bility. 1t is caused by injuries to, or
diseases of the brain, blood-poisoning
or poisoning by narcotics, and is often
times mistaken, especially by the po-
lice, for drunkenness. In these cases
note the position Of the body. Place
the body on the back, incline the
head to one side, extend the legs and
place arms at the side. Compare two
sides of body. Note condition of the
