The World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for the
production of everything that will con-
duce to the material welfare and comfort
of mankind are almost unlimited and
when Syrup of Figs was first produced
the world was enriched with the only
perfect laxative known, as it is the only
remedy which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
effectua1 to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or, in fact, at any time
and the better it is known the more pop.

NOrthside Notes.

y
A. D. Kellison, who has been visiting
his brother here, has about decided to 10
cate in Glasgow, where a good position
has been offered him.
The new hotel will be completed in a
short time and nearly all the rooms will
be taken before 1t is completed.
Oscar Prescott. the genial host of the
present hotel, has n good house and Is
doing a thriving business. He has IN.
vested in several lots.
The building boom still continues and
before snow flies there will be over AZ
nice buildings where in February there
was not one.
The grading of Summit avenue has
added much to the town-like appearance
of the place.
A. I. Kellison will open out a stock OF
groceries on Wednesday. He will carry
a stock of fresh, clean groceries and viii,
undoubtedly build up a good trade
With a force of 100 men on the dam and
200 men on the smelter it would seem d
good opening.
Mr.. Kelllson sold Is acres of his ranch
to Joseph Hawthorn and w. G. Erwin a,
$50 per acre. This land is about one
mile north of town and is considered {
bargain.
Lots in the Riverside addition are sell.
ing and in a short time a number of resi-.
dences will be built there.
A petition for a p~ostofice has been for.
warded to Washington and II favorable
answer received. AT present Postmaster
Taylor kindly puts all the mail for this
side in a sack, and it is brought over, but
we have no postoffice. That trouble will
be removed in a short time. *.*

James W. Matkin was born in 1888,
near Pennington, st. Francis county,
Missouri. In 1854, when in the full vigor
of youth, he went to California, whence
about two years later he came to Mon
tana. Here he entered the service of the
old Diamond r.. Transportation com
pany, and continued in its service when
it was controlled by E. G. Maclay,
George STEEL. Matt Carroll and Colonel
Broadwater. He had charge of one OF
the large freight trains of the company
which then did most Of the transportation
business in the territorty, including that
from Fort Benton to the mining regions.
While engaged in this perllous duty in
1868 Mr.. Matkin was shot in the hip by
al Indian while following the wagon
train which had left Benton in advance
of him. The intrepid wagon master
kept on his way despite the severe wound
and came up with the train which pre-
pared for defense. The teamsters con
veyed Mr.. Matkln back to Benton with
tender care and he lay there a good while
under medical care. The bullet was
never found and he suffered ever
after from the wound which
defed surgical skill.
His native energy was such that he
overcame the worst effects of the wound
and about 1870 he was at work again, this
time with Whlttenbaugh, at the InterLa-
tioal hotel, Helena. He stayed there
until 1874 when he went to the Black
hills, DakoIa. and remained there two
years. He returned to Benton In 1873,
and in partnership with MIR. Hunsberger,
he managed the Overland hotel. In 1881,
he was attracted by the silver discoveries
to Barker, where he became recorder of
the district. He afterward conducted a
store for E. B. Largent at the place
which was then called J%ohnstown, but is
now within the railroad limits of Great
Falls.
He had always warm regard for Mr..
Paris Gibson, and was one of the first to
cooperate with him in the settlement of
Great Falls. He took part in the first
survey and henceforth resided here. In
1887 he was made county clerk in the
bill that created Cascade county. He
filled creditably the duties Of that office,
assisted by Ernest A. Ringwald. About
that time he engaged IN the cigar trade
and also took charge of the p%ostofflce.

The history of little Alice has been one
of patient suffering. From a babe she
had been afflicted with almost every ill
that flesh is heir to, but her gentle spirit
never complained, new lost courage for
herself, nor forgot to cheer her parents
and friends.
She died with words of consolation and
promise on her lips to the grief-stricken
parents and little brothers, telling them
not to MOURN for her, that they would
soon follow her and asking them to meet
her in the better land.
The funeral services were held at the
house with n lesson from the scriptures,
prayer and brief remarks appropriate to
the occasion by Mr.. N. Long.
Mr.. and Mrs. Payne are new corners to
this region, only having been here a few
months. They left their homes in Min
nesota for the sake of their daughter,
this climate being recommended by their
physician for her, but the change was
made too late. The family have the SYM
pathy uf the entire community IN this
their great aftliction and many new made
friends will long remember the heroic
spirit and cheerful words of the beloved
Alice.
mot as a child shall we again behold her,
For when, with rapture wild,

She will not be a child.
But q fair maiden in her Fathers mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace
And beautiful with all the souls expansion
Shall we behold her face,"

SHE WAS POISONED!

Not by anything she drank OF took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. Aman
Or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call it "blues."
