Mr.. j. p. Blaize, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part OF that State during a
recent blizzard, says the Saturday
Reriew. Mr.. Blaize had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm
and was so thoroughly chilled that
he was unable to get warm, and in
side of an hour after his return he
was threatened with severe case
OF pneumonia or lung fever. Mr..
Blaize sent to the nearest drug store
and got a bottle of Chant berlain's
Cough Remedy, of which he had
often heard, and took number of
large doses. He says the effect was
wonderful and that in a short time he
was breathing quite easily. He kept
on takiug the medicine and the next
day was able to come TO Des Moines,
Mr.. Blaize regards his cure as simply
wonderful. 80 cent bottles for sale

A Lucky Escape.

Fortunate is the man or woman residing
in malaria-ridden locality who escapes the
dreaded scourge. Not one in thousand
does. When the endemic is periodical and
wide spread visitation, it is just as common
to see whole communities suffering from it
AS single individuals. The most vigorous
constitution is not proof against it-how
much less system feeble or disordered. As
a means of protection against malaria, Hos
teter's Stomach Bitters is the supreme medi-
cinal agent. II will uproot any form of ma
larial disease implanted in the system, and
even in regions where miasmatic complaints
are most malignant and deadly, such as the
lsthmus of Panama, Guatemala and the
tropics generally, it is justly regarded as an
efficient safeguard. No less etcacious is it
as curative and preventive of chronic in
digestion, liver trouble, constipation, rheu-
matism, kidney complaints and la grippe.

A SUGGESTION RENEW ED.

It was suggested some time ago that
an invitation to visit this city be sent by
the Board Of Trade to the National Ed,
torial association, which will meet IN
San Francisco next month. No action
having been taken at the last meeting
OF tho board it may be we'll to renew the
suggestion.
The membership Of this association
is represented in every part of the coun-
try. The yearly convention brings sew
eral hundred editors, with their wives,
sons and daughters in attendance and is
an Important event. The city fortunate
enough to secure the gathering is not
only talked about by the delegates but
described in several hundred news
papers. AS the majority OF members
are interested IN newspapers in villages
or smaller cities large space is given to
the description of their vacation. Thusit
happens that their words Of praise
reach a vast army Of readers, among
whom are many considering the advisa-
bility of moving to the great west.
Very we'll. Now, it is estimated that
one-half the editors who will meet IN
San Francisco will return v o. the
northern route to their homes. In this
event why should they not be invited to
stop off a day in Helena, see the most
prosperous city Of the Rockies, see its
fine hotels, its big %natatorium, it's fine
buildings, its superb advantages for 70
cation. It is possible that the visito rs

Of 1893 in this city. It will cost nothing
to send the invitation and it will be q

benefits would result if the invitation is

A HIGH-BLooDED EMPEROR.

The h~igh-sounding title of "minister
plenipotentiary and envoy extraordin-
airy" is a magnificent appendix to the
ambitious diplomats name in all coun-
tries except China. In the eyes of the
ruler Of that empire, the foreign repre-
sentative is apparently of no nor i'm
po~rtance than a dog catcher. +.
Within the past few weeks a diff
Guilty has arisen between the foreign
ministers at Pekin and the court officers,
over the manner in which the former
should be received at the palace. The
ministers, evidently thinking their
dignity in danger, held a meeting and
proposed a compromise. While not
exactly willing to kiss the
royal toe, they consented tc
attend the emperor's receptions
when invited, providing he would re.
ceiye them at the palace in 1893. The
memorandum of their proceedings com
mencing as follows, was presented tc
the president Of the Chinese foreign
office: "Whereas, The sovereigns O
the western states are the equals of his
imperial majesty" Having read thus
far the Chinaman flung back the docu
ment and ended the discussion.
The presumption of these foreign
slaves in thinking their rulers equal t.
the nine-hundredth son of the moor
was deseryedly rebuked. Fortunately
the United States has no minister t,
China, and consequently no reflection
was attached to the dignity of Presi
dent Harrison. If Blair had been Their,
the president of the foreign office would
have been talked into a comatose con
dition or another ultimatum would hay
been mailed from the White house.

WEAK

The Helena Journals attempt to
show President Harrison's friendship
for free coinage is quite as ludicrous
as the efforts of Mr.. J. r. DeLamar in
the same direction. Mr.. DeLamar, who
is now pretty we'll known in the east as
the great social leader of the Rocky
mountains, recently returned to Boise
City and told the mine owners that he
had a quiet "tip'' that Harrison would
sign a free coinage bill after his %re-elec-
ton. He was on the inside and knew
what he was talking about, etc. just
how far this bluff will go toward secur-
ing a Harrison delegation from Idaho is
not known, but the Journal evidently
thinks the scheme will work in Mon
tana.
To 60 back a few months, it will be
remembered that The INDEPENDENT
asked, demanded, begged and pleaded
for the Journals opinion as to the presi-
dents action if a free coinage bill We're
ever placed before him for signature.
Not an answer could be had. Our con
temporary was as silent on the subject as
the yawning depths of the Prickly Pear
canyon. It would not say whether the
president would or he wouldn't, though
it is as close to his ear as any news
paper in the country.
But times have changed since the
Bland bill died. Now that there is nc
possibility of free coinage legislation in
the present congress the Journal boldly
swaggers to the front with the startling
news that Harrison is for free coinage

However, it is not believed that all tbs

fooled by Mr.. DE Lamar and the Helene
Journal. These artists should first

Hon. WILLIAM III. CLAGGETT'S bill of
expenses against the government in his
contest for al Idaho s~enatorship is an
interesting document. As presented to
the senate it includes expenses to the
amount Of S9,256,T. Among the items
is $500 "to be paid to himself for pro-
fesslonal services rendered the state of
Idaho in prosecuting it's claims to be
represented by its contestant during
1891, and particularly from December,
1891, to March A, 1892"
It appears that Mr.. Claggett proposes
to have some compensation for his in
ability to secure the glory of a seat in
the United States senate.
