MERIT WINS.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. Kings New Life Pills, Bucklen's s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as we'll, or that have given such univer- sal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not fol- low their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. w. H. Camp, Druggist.

Poison in 8 Cup of Tea.

A few figures will show how much poison the tea thinker is taking in.
 Strong tea contains 6, per cent. of theine, which is about three and three f1fths grains to @ dram. A teaspoon ful of tea is a dram, and hence ac- cording to the old rule of a teaspoon full to the cup there would be three and three-fifths grains of theine in a single cup of strong tea. Seven grains will kill cat, so it would only take two and a half cups to make fatal dose for cat.-Dr. J. H. Kellogg's Lecture.

OUR MONTANA LETTER.

Editor of Ne,os:
 I have noticed sev,lal items about the developement of the Housatonic River water power at Stockbridge and repairs at Falls Village, etc. Now the dam at Stockbrldge is estimated to furnish about 600 horse power, aud l want to give you some data as to our water pow CT here, developed and undeveloped. So will attach clipping giving this information, and you will see at glance that 600 horse power looks very iusigni6- cant to us here with power of 32,S67 horses already developed and 235, 235 additional horse power right at hand, being harnessed down to useful pur- poses. Compare this with tho powers used at Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell , Manchester, Minneapolis, and the new Cataract Construction Co.'S. scheme at Niagara. See what these towns have become through the development of their water power alone and can anyone donbt the future greatness of Great Falls which has 49, 900 horse power in excess of all of these above mentioned combined?
 Compared with the largest water. powers in the East and that of Mime, apolis, Miun the Great Falls power stands ss follows:

In addition to this we have 300 square miles of coal fields at our very door. One mine at Sand Coulee, 12 miles from town, has a daily output of 15OO tons. We have five railroads centering here already and two more assured within the next IS months.
 Barker and Neihart are sending their wonderfully rich ores here for smelling and while. these camps are verily in their swaddling clothes the present developments show that in 8 few years even Butte will hardly "be in it" in comparison with Neihart. One mine there, "The Queen of the Hills" has 33ft vein of silver-lead Ore in sight now which assays from $6O to $500 toni
 The employment offices cannot find men to supply the demand for labor, and the wages for the common labor are $2.OO and s2 50 per day. There is no need for anyone here to be out of job if he really wants work. But people need not think this is an Ell Dorado where one will get rich by just waiting for Dame Fortune It is the fellow who takes off his coat and ':rustles" who gets there, and he gets there with both feet, too.
 I have already spoken to you of the farming and stock raising indystries here, so I will simply say that those people so engaged are all jubilant this year, especially since harvest and now the beef "round up" will soon start and they will bestill happier and richer.

The final preparations were pretty nearly
completed last evening, with over thou
sand birds in coops and about 200 more

Guiding black and buff cochins, bantam

Riley of this city.

specie.

Senatorial Adulation.

Washington Letter to Florida Times Union.l
What great thing, to be sure, it is to be
a great man. 1 happened in Senator Quay's
reception room little while ago and found
a curious group. These were statesmen
from the great state of Pennsylvania, COM
mittee clerks, messengers and newspaper
men, all silent. There was a central figure,
and he was silent, too, charactsristically So
That figure was Senator Quay. He was at
lunch. On the end of long committee
table which graced the room was a frugal
luncheon-some bread and butter, a glass
of milk and some other trifies of the table,
which had been brought up from the res
taurant below. These the senator was des-
patching with the moderation which marks
his every movement, while a solemn silence
reigned throughout the room, where politi-
cal chat is the customary order, but each
of the silent beholders seemed awefully
contemplating every bite of bread and
swallow of milk in a manner which was. to
say the least, amusing to the irreverent OBJ
server.

Don't be afraid OF fresh air, but avoid
draughts
Don't go out Of doors for a second without ex-

In selecting your winter underclothing choose
that which is warm and yet more or less open in

Take of your overcoat when you enter
warm place, whether office or private dwelling.
even if your visit is too last only three minutes.
If you catch cold or develop cough, get rid Of
it at once. This is better than feeling ''blue''

The best remedy for cough or cold Chowever
dose of whiskey in water win impart a generous
warmth to the whole body and keep of the

Boston.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The conference
committee of the League and American
association went into session this morning
and finished its business at noon The
principal bone of contention was the ques-
ton of allowing an American association
club in Boston. The majority will report
in favor of granting Boston an Ameri-
can association franchise. John B. Day
of the New York league club will
present the minority report against it.
The National league went into session at
1915 and the American association will
meet at 3 O'Clock. From present appear
ances there can be no settlement Of the
difficulty for two or three days. Boston
League men are firm in the refusal to al
low another club in the city, but a two
thirds vote is said to be against them on
that point.
Shortly before 8 o'clock the league peo-
was learned unoficially that they had
struck snag on the Association question.
Philadelphia, it was said, had Joined Bos-
ton and New York, making three clubs
standing out for no Association club in
Boston, and causing a deadlock At 8
o'clock the league delegates again went be
hind closed doors and at Z o'clock ad-
