quite MS positive that he would accept n,
nomination from the esteemed Herald. Il
ia a tri1e early for reliable political gossip
but the air is full of rumors. one of which
is that the republican nominee for governor
will surely be an east side man, while tn,
congressional nomination will go to the
west side, providing some one can be found
to take it. 1t il not believed that Captain
Mills would accept 1t under any circum-
stances,
We feel quito safe in predicting that Hell
ona will at least secure moro votes for the
national convention than New York.
1t would appear from tho lurid indigna-
tion of the Helena Journal that orders to

Washington.

The circular from the weather Office in
another column seems to contain valuable
suggestions concerning the study of meteo-

blooded and ugly-faceu bull dog, not to
guard his pleasant quarters at the Flathead
agency. but to give his Indian wards a new
subject for study in the animal kingdom.
The appearance of this strange quadruped
caused az much excitement among these
untutored sons of the forest as a behe-

A sure cue for infla,nmatory rheuma-
tism is made by taking one ounce of pull
verified saltpeter and putting into a pint of
sweet oil. Battle the parts affected.
For neuralgia in the face apply a mustard
plaster to the elbow. For neuralgia in the
head apply the plaster to the back Of the
