How Severe Colds are Broken Up in
Montana.

From the Virginia City (Mont.) Madisonian.
When we find medicine we know to
possess genuine merit, we consider it q
duty, and we take pleasure in telling
the public what it is. Such a medicine
we found Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
last winter, when la grippe was prevail
ing. We are satisfied that we warded
off several attacks that were threaten
ing by the use of this syrup, and we
have since relieved, in a few hours,
severe colds, and in the course of two or
three days, entirely broken them up by
it's use, as we have several of our friends
to whom we have recommended it. 1t
is all that it is represented to be by the
manufacturers. If you have a cough
and want to stop it, Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will do the work. For
sale by G. f. Heinzeman, 222 N. Main
street; John A. OFF, Fourth and Spring,
and all leading druggists.

"a sprightly maiden of something over
sixty summers had an interview with the
census enumerator in Milton few weeks
ago, and among other questions he asked
her: Are you married, or have you ever
been? To which she replied in the mega

pityingly he looked over the dismal fact
she brislzly added: 'ButI am expecting
every day that shall be. '"-St. Albans

els Adams, president of the Union Pa
cific road, arrived in the city today. He
has been through Oregon and Washing
ton in the interest of his road, and is
pleased with the traffic which has been
developed in those states. His time
while in Washington was largely occu-
pied in looking after the proposed
terminal at Olympia Other northern
projects OF the company were also given
due attention. Adams's trip is not sup
posed to have any special significance in
connection with the talk about an over
land road, but his movements in South
ern California, whittier it is reported he
will go, will be closely noted.
President Adams says the Union Pa
cifc certainly does not contemplate
building in.this direction now, and that
no bonus which could be offered would
be any inducement. All that would be
asked would be acceptable terminal ia
cilities. There was no intention, he
said, of continuing the extension in Ne

A NOTABLE GATHERING OF A
NOBLE RACE.
Great American Congress of Ulstermen
at Pittsburg-Many Eminent Men in
Attendance-Brilliant Addresses.

PITTsBURG, May 29.-The great Scotch
Irish congress of America was opened.
today, with probably 1000 delegates and
visitors from all parts of the United
States and Canada. Robert Bonner, of
New York, president of the association,
called the congress to order. Among the
delegates were many well-known people,
including Alex. Montgomery, of San
Francisco, and .. Robert Burns, of
Tacoma.
Mayor Gourley welcomed the members
OF the convention on behalf of the city,
| Governor Beaver on behalf of the state.
Bonner replied.
| The report of the executive committee
showed the wonderful growth of the
society in the past year, and recon-
mended certain changes in the constitu-
tlon OF the organization.
AT it's conclusion the Rev. DR.. Nc
Intosh, of Philadelphia, delivered STIR
ring address on ''The Making of an
fisherman" which was greeted through.
out with bursts of applause. He de-
scribed the advent of the Scotchmen
into Ulster, their forced emigration from
that place, and landing in America
origin of the race in the lowlands of
Scotland. In concluding he said:
Gods moment to let the Scotch-Irish-
man loose in all his yet untried strength,
has come, and the oppressed man
leaps to the front place in the
gap to bar the old oppressor;
the martyr for conscience takes his
stand beside the fresh worlds fag-a
free church and free state. The land
lords quondam slave will win a free
ballot and safe homestead; the lover of
learning, robbed of years of school and
college, will wage the fercest battle till
he stands secure in free school in every
district, and open college to all corners;
and the expatriated and exasperated
fisherman will never surrender the
struggle till the old wrongs are lost in
his new and abiding rights.''
At tonight's meeting Prof. Perry, of
Williams College, delivered an historical
address ON Scotch-Irish in New Eng
land" Rev. DIR. Kelly, of Tennessee,
spoke on General Sam Houston, the
Washington of Texas"
The programme for the entire congress
is not yet arranged. Many well-known
orators will speak during the sitting of
the congress, and number of men of
national prominence will make remarks.

STOCKTON, May 29.-The levees ON the
lower division of Roberts island, this
county, gave away this afternoon, food
ing 10000 acres of land in high state OF
cultivation.
The water on the west side of the
track has been steadily rising ever since
the break in the Union island levees
allowed the old river water to reach the
middle Of the river. A rise of three feet
since Saturday has been shown. On
Wednesday two small breaks occurred
which were speedily stopped. This
morning d. twenty-foot break, four to five
feet deep, in the scraper-work levee was
more serious matter, but fifty men had
this closed in good shape in three hours.
AT noon, however, a break 800 feet wide,
occurred near the head of Whiskey
slough, which runs up into the island.
The head of the water was about nine
feet. The entire lower division will
soon be under water. Efforts are being
made to be ready for the water
before it reaches the middle
division of the cross levee. This levee
was put in frst-rate condition after the
food of 1886, and it is believed it will be
able to meet the occasion, although no
such water as at present ever stood
against it before.
The upper division of Roberts islands
contains twelve thousand acres of splen-
did wheat, and is now protected by a
cross levee from flooding with water
from the lower division. The river
levees are strong and high, and large
force of men will work on the cross levee
before the water reaches it. This tract
and ten thousand acres on Union island
are the only reclaimed farming lands in
this county out of water. The lands OF
the lower division are owned by the
Glasgow-Ca California Land Company, and
rented on shares to farmers and Chinese
vegetable gardeners.

HALIFAX, N. s., May 29.-The Echo
this evening says: 1t seems that matters
on the so-called French shore on the
western coast Of Newfoundland are
rapidly approaching crisis, in conse-
quence of the action of the commanding
officer of the French warship at the Bay
of st. George, in requiring the inhabi-
tants to take up their nets. The people
have refused to recognize the right to
levy duty which cannot be maintained
The return duties illegally imposed for
the last thirty years have also been re-
Gently discussed by the indignant people,
who number nearly thousand. A Bay
of st. George correspondent says: The
commander of the French war
ship ordered the inhabitants to take
up their herring nets. The people
refused. The French officers then came
armed and took up the nets, destroying
some of them. The people applied to
the local magistrate, established by the
st. John government on the coast, for
protection. He informed them that he
was powerless to lend them any assist
ance. Herring fishery is one of the
principal means of livelihood of the
people, and if prevented from prosecut-
ing that occupation it means complete
ruin to them. Resolutions have been
telegraphed to the government at St..
John, and the Emerald has been ordered
to proceed to the scene for action.
