TEXAS FEVER.

DR.. Frank S. Billings, of Nebraska,
the investigator of infectio is diseases
among animals, has demonstrated that
Texas Fever comes from Texas ticks.
He has cultivated these ticks and killed
cattle by inoculating them with the
virus. This shows how subtle these
germs are and how careful people
ought TO be in guarding against in
fectious maladies. So it is in lung
troubles. There is no doubt that con-
sumption has been communicated
from one person to another and while
the experiments of DR.. Koch have not
been entirely successful, yet enough
has been demonstrated to prove that
the baccili do make the disease. In
this emergency the best remedy that
has yet been found is REII0'S GER
MAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE.
1t will exterminate the gcrms that
make the malady and that cause the
disease. 1t contains no piison but
acts at once and will stop the worst
cough and heal the worst cold. For

A person who has not done anything
to distinguish himself is generally not
allowed queer habits. Eccentricity is
not for common people. But for Wash
ington A1lston, one of Americas most
noted painters, all things were right.
His excessive sensitiveness was shown
in many ways When india rubber
overshoes began to be worn, he was in
duced to purchase q pair for his health's
sake, but he could never put them on
or remove them except with pair of
tongs. But that same delicate sensi-
tiveness showed itself in another way.
His scrupulous conscience was illus
trated by an incident occurring in 1915.
when he was in urgent need of money.
He had just found purchaser for one
Of his pictures, but thinking the matter
over alone in the evening, he concluded
that the subject Of the painting was
such that 1T some time it might have
an immoral effect on some perverted
imagination. He Immediately went to
his patrons house, paid back the money,
took the picture home and burnt it.
This was sensitiveness worth having. =

A GREAT WORK ER

The death of Jay Gould will be fol
lowed by the usual number Of soclaljstic
essays and anarchi5tic alarms over the
dangers of great fortunes. There will
be repeated demands for everything
tending to limit the accumulation of
money. The milder social reformer will
renew arguments for a p%rohibitory limit
to wealth, and the wild-eyed anarchist
will demand an all around division. One
of the dangers resulting from the death
of a very rich man is the impetus given
to the teaching of these doctrines.
The life Of Jay Gould, however, was
strikingly different from that Of the
heirs to fortunes like those of the Astoria
and the Vanderbilts, and a comparison
leads us to believe that the country
would be better off if We had more
Goulds. 1t is observed, to begin with,
that the men who hated him most were
the fellows who would like to be Wall
street sharks, but lacked the ability
His enemies of another class were those
who have a popular prejudice against
any man who makes money.
But Jay Gould was not content to

live in n private pacht on revenues ac-
oumulated from rents. HIS master mind
chose rather to extend railways INTO un.
developed countries, connect remote tel.
egraph lines into a great system and
bring to high development all natural
In this way Mr.. Gould gave
employment to armies OF men, opened
new fields for settlers, made new mar
kets and increased the material prosper
ity OF the country more than any one
man. He was in these respects like
many wealthy Montanians who have
carved their own fortunes but whose
brains and energy have turned this state
from an unknown and uninhabited re-
gion into the most promising
wealth of the union.
The danger to society, il that danger
exists, lies in the dead wealth OF indi-
viduals, the wealth piled up in invest
menta with no other idea than to secure
a regular monthly stipend to be ex-
pended solely for personal enjoyment.
Mr.. Gould did not believe in this sort of
wealth. He took chances with his
money and kept it in live use, and the
great west is to-day indebted to his in
for many Of the railways, cities
and villages which mark different stages
Of a wonderful growth.

is a good looking newspaper and prom
ises to be entertaining, il we may judge
from the opening chapter of a leading
editorial. 1t reads:
"The shadow of a great crime rests upon
Missoula. Yet men sit in that shadow aud
laugh and jest with each other. IL is az out
of place M would be a merry jig played over
a mothers grave. The shadow has come
up over this fair land al a dense fog which
creeps over u miasmatic marsh, yet men
continually fit to and fro. hither and yon,
transacting the business Affairs Of life,
seemingly pleased with themselves, little
caring for the blackness of that crime
which folds the county OF Missoula in its
embrace. Men plash and plunge through
the miry marsh they themselves have made.
and seem TO be better pleased than they
would if they were walking Upon u broad,
dry highway. We say they are men; they
are not; they are ehouls."
At this point we looked for the intro
duotion Of the downtrodden factory girl,
the faithless lover and Old Smike, the
Sleuth of the Flathead. Failing in this,
we looked to find where this deeply in
teresting story would be continued in
the next number" and again We were
disappointed. 1t appears, however,
from further reading that a man named
L. j. Knapp is preparing to contest the
election of Frank w. Mcconnell as clerk
of the district court. We regret to
learn that men in Missoula are so trivial
minded as to SO about "transacting the
business of life" when an affair so serious
as ii contest for the clerkship Of the dis
trict court is on hand. We don't know
what remedies to suggest. The gov
ernor might be asked to call out the
while the Butte Miner hoists the
flag; anything to bring those Missoula
testers to a serious view of life. In the
we congratulate the Populist.
