HELENA, Nov. %. 1899.
Whereas, on the llth day of November, A.
ID. 1852. proclamation was signed and Is
sued convening the first Legislative assem-
bly, of the state of Montana at the seat Of
government on Saturday, November 23rd,
1889. at IL O'Clock noon; and,
Whereas, no provision of the constitution
or of the laws provide the place in which
the said Legislative assembly shall meet, and
no officer or person is expressly authorized
by the constitution or the laws 10 designate
such place of meeting; and, whereas, il is
necessary that some suitable and conven-
lent place of meeting shall be- designated
and provided; and whereas; IL has come to
my knowledge that two sets of certificates
have been issued 10 persons claiming TO be
elected TO said Legislative assembly, each
emanating from different source, and not
all to the same persons, and
fWhcreas, II is probable that conflict
may arise between the respective claimants
to seats in said body and in the organiza-
tion thereof which may imperil the peace of
the state; and
Whereas, one set of said certificates have
been issued and delivered pursuant to Sec
tion 1893 of the general election laws of
Montana by the county clerks of tIie re-
spective counties, and by virtue of Section
II Of an act of the Legislative assembly of
the territory Of Montana. entitled IAN act
TO provide for the registration of electors
and TO prevent fraud at elections" approved
March sth, A. ID. 1889; and, whereas, 10y ex-
press law the persons holding such certif-
Gates are declared 10 be entitled TO member
ship and deemed to be elected for all pur-
poses of organization of either branch of
the Legislative assembly; and,
Whereas, when NO organized such legis-
lntiye assembly by the constitution becomes
the Judge Of the qualifications of its own
members
Nov, therefore, I, Joseph X. Toole, gov
ernor of the state Of Montana, do hereby
designate the court house of the county Of
Lewis and Clarke at the said seat Of gov
ernment az the place where said Legislative
assembly, comprising the persons holding
and presenting certificates of election from

The house of representatives shall meet

For the peaceful observance Of this proc

aens, without distinction Of party.
In testimony whereof have hcreunto set

Doctoring in the DARK.

No sensible surgeon will attempt the
performance Of an operation involving
human life in a room secluded from the
proper amount of light, A practitioner
will not attempt the diagnosis of a com
plicated disease unless he can see the
sufferer and make an examination upon
which to base his opinion relative to the
course Of treatment necessary to bring
about q complete restoration of health,
Notwithstanding the improperly OF
such action there seems to be great
deal of doctoring done in the dark.
BY this it is not intended that lit
eral meaning be inferred, but that a
great many mistakes are committed be-
cause of the darkness which is the re-
suit of ignorance. 1t needs no illustra-
tions to demonstrate that gross ignor-
ance has caused many fatal mistakes to
be made in the treatment Of diseases by
those who profess to be learned in the
art of healing.
In many diseases several organs are
more or less implicated and what seems
a primary ailment may be one quite re-
mote. For instance, severe headache
may have its origin in a disturbed stom-
ach. On the other hand, sickness at the
stomach may be caused by a blow on
the head The seat OF typhoid fever Is
in the upper part OF the bowels, but mos,
Of it's worst symptoms are often in the
brain.
Symptoms of disease as we'll as dis
eases themselves are oftentimes follow
ers or cOncomitants of some unsupported
organic disease and this is peculiarly
true Of lung, liver, brain and heart dis
eases in general, for it is now known
that they are the result of kidney dis
ease, which shows its presence in some
such indirect manner.
Several years ago gentleman became
convinced of the truth of this and
through his efforts the world has been
warned Of kidney disease and as re-
suit Of continued effort a specific known
as Warmers Safe Cure was discovered
the general use Of which has shown it to
be of inestimable benefit in all cases
whore kidney treatment is desirable or
| necessary.
When consumption is threatened see
! TO it that the condition OF the kidneys is
Immediately inquired into and if they
are found diseased, cure them by an i'm
mediate use OF Warmers Safe Cure and
the symptoms Of lung decay will rapid
! ly disappear.
There are too many instances already
recorded of the terrible results pro-
duced by lack of knowledge concern
ing the cause OF disease, and human life
IS OF too much importance to be foolish
" sacrificed to bigotry or ignorance.
