pared and Are Being signed,

& Southern Montana railroad have been
prepared and are being rapidly signed by
the leading capitalists of Helena. The

and completion of the line. Col. Word has

MRS. HARRISON WORSE.
An Cnfavorabie Turn in Her Condition
last Night.

An Cnfavorabie Turn in Her Condition
Iast Night.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 10.-A change for the
worse occurred in the condition of Mrs.
Harrison and tonight she is weaker than
any time since her illness began. She is
greatly exhausted and cannot turn her head
on the pillow. The cough is said to have
increased in volume. This. coming in par
oxysms. has very depressing and exhaust
ing effect on the patient and tends to re-
duce her vitality. Mrs. Harrison passed a
comparatively quiet day and did not suffer
so much from nervousness. She exper-
fenced more difficulty than usual, however,
in taking nourishment, which she has here
tofore taken with systematic regularity.
Although she is in such very weak state
yet the ply sician said tonight he did not
apprehend any immediate fatal result. and
thought it probable that by morning she
might rally and regain some lost st ength.
At 10 O'Clock Mrs Harrison rallied some-
what from her severe prostration. Her
condition is so preearious that she may
pass away within few hours should an
other sinking spell occur. At midnight the
patient was no better; stin very weak.

menced by referring to Missoula county as
having an area as great as the state of
Ohio. and greater extent and variety of
resources. He then proceeded to attack
the demooratio party. and particularly the
state bank clause. The Mckinley bill
received considerable attention at his
hands. and he wound up by warning the
voters against the wiles OF the peoples
party. and an argument on the bill pre-
aented to congress in relation to the with
drawal of silver and substituting green
backs. 1t was nearly IL o'clock when he
concluded his remarks, and the audience
had thinned out considerably.

enough to explain how this purchase bene-

cost of mining it. MacKnight said this
had usually been the case since the demon
etizatlon by the republicans in 1873 and he
thought the audience would like to hear
where the advantage came in. This was
greeted by loud applause, but Weed iR-
