American Cholera.

From the Daily Reveille, Whatcom, Wash:
L. c. Burnett, the Democratic candidate
for sheriff, was taken violently i'll at Clear
brook. He had all the symptoms of Ash
tic cholera, and for an hour or two it was
feared he " ould die. They finally gave him
a dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhga Pemedy, which revived him until
a physician arrived" That is precisely
what the manufacturers of that medicine
recommend for cholera. Send for a physi-
clan. but give their medicine until the ply
stefan arrives. If cholera becomes preva-
lent i'm this country next summer this pre-
paration will be in great demand because
it can always be depended upon. For sale

NOT THE PERSONNEL.
Secretary Foster Says 1t Was Not Harrison
But the Policy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Secretary of
State Foster attributes the defeat of
the Republicans to the tariff issue.
The party, he says, challenged the
Judgment of the country on the Nc
Kinley bill and the verdict must be
accepted as the will of the people that
a different policy shall be adopted.
Other questions entered somewhat
into the contest but not to such an
extent Us to materially affect the re-
suit. Nor would it have been differ
ent if other candidates were selected
or other leaders had managed the
campaign. No administration ever
went before the country with a clearer
record. 1t is the policy, not the per-
sonnet OF the administration, that has
been condemned. In this view the
secretary is gratified that Cleveland is
likely to be sustained by a party
majority in both branches of CON
gress,so that the new policy will have
a fair trial.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot reach
abe diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infla med condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tubs is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrb, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucuos surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollarsfor any
case of deafness Caused by catarrb) that
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Very truly,
MONTANA HARDWARE Co.

Do you wish to know the quickest way
to cure a cold7 We will tell you. 70 cure
a cold quickly it must be treated before
the cold has settled in the system. The
first symptoms are a dry, loud congh and
sueezing. The cough is soon followed by
watery e~xpectoration and the sneezing by
a profuse watery discharge from the nose.
In severe cases there is Il thin white coat
ing on the tongue. What to do? 1t is
only necessary to take Chamberlain's
Cough remedy in double doses every hour.
That will greatly lessen the severity OF the
cold and in many cases will ef~fectuaily
counteract it, and cure what would have
been IA severe cold within one or two days
Try it and be convinced. Fifty cent

By a Lamp Explosion.

Great Falls Tribune: There was
an accident at the residence
of Mayor Webster Friday even
ing which resulted in the severe injury
of Mrs. Webster and some painful
burns on Mr.. Webster's hands. Mrs.
Webster was heating some water on
an alcohol lamp, which exploded, set
ting fire to her wrapper. She was
quickly enveloped in flames, but was
saved from greater injury by the
prompt action of her husband, who
threw a wooden blanket about her,
smothering the flames. She was pain
fully burned about the neck, breast
and arms. A physician was sum-
moned. and Mr.. and Mr.. Webster
were resting quietly when the reporter
called to make inquiries. Their burns
are painful but probably not danger
Gus, and they are to be congratulated
that the accident was not more
serious.

Telephone Service.

1t is due to the Midland Telephone
company to state that it received and
forwarded promptly all ofthe election news
that came over the Western Union wire.
We were served as well as railroad towns.
The managers of the Western Union gave
ordere that commercial business should be
given the preference over election news,
which accounts for the infrequency of the
dispatches during the day time. The Tele-
phone company made every effort to get
the fullest reports and in several instances
secured specials.

Three Murderers Hung.

TACOMA, Aug. II. The Ledger's
special from Ellensburg says: Pas
sengers just arrived on the Wen
atchee stage report terrible TRACE
dy on Mason creek, near Wenatchee
on the line OF the Great Nogthe II.
A ma, travelling up the creek alone
was held up by three highwaymen,
who not only robbed him but cut pil'
his head. Another man who hap
pene d along saw the affair, unknown n
to the murders. He went to the
nearest camp and told the story.
In short time large posse was or
ganiz d and started on the trail of
the robbers, and finally succeeded
in overtaking them. Owing to the
large crowd Of pursuers they had
little difficulty in capturing the
murderers. The mau who witnessed
the affair was taken along and readi-
ly identified all three. They were
hanged to trees without ceremony
At the time the stage left neither
the names of the murderers nor that
of their victim had been learned,
though several claimed that thes
saw the bodies hanging. The ex-
act date of the tragedy was not
learned, but 1t was propably sun
day,

From Old Virginia.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. H.-The
relative strength of the Republican
and Democratic parties III this state
will be largely Influenced by the
Farmers Alliance convention,
which is being held here. A fusion
IS said to have been arranged be-
tween the Third Party and the Re-
publicans. They will cast their
votes for the Third-Party candidates
for congress and for the Republican
presidential ticket. Many members
Of the Farmers Alliance, however,
are refusing to support the Third
Party. The majority of this element
will vote with the Democrats, and
herein lies the latter's hope of sue
cess. If enough of these can bc
weaned from the Alliance to sup
port th. Democratic candidates, the
state will go for Cleveland by a
small niejority, and most of the cons
.,ressiolal candidates will be
returned. The indications now are
that the Third Party will capture
the convention aud that the Demo
cratic Alliance men will bolt. With
one or two exceptions, all of the
present members of congress from
this state will he renominuted.

Family Trouble.

DETROIT, Aug. 17.-One of the
most mysterious and sensational af-
fairs that has startled the country in
years was made public by the arrest
of Miss Jennie Tabor, of Hudson,
Mich. Twenty dynamite cartridges
were found in the top Of the parlor
organ at the Tabor homestead, three
miles northwest of Hudson. There
was trouble over the property among
members of the family, and the stls-
picions of the younger brother being
aroused, he instituted search, which
resulted In the sensational discovery.
The Tabor family is one of the best
known and wealthiest In the state.
A year ago 1t consisted of Henry Ia
Dor, his wife and three children,
Josie, Jennie and Harry. Josie is now
Mrs. j. III. Gilmore and lives in Hud-
son. Jennie, although somewhat
eccentric, has moved in the best so
ciety and has been much sought al
ter. She was her fathers favorite,
and it was ganerally understood that
she would fare best in the division
Of h estate. Her mother was op-
posed TO this, believing that all the
children should be treated alike. A
family quarrel ensued, which was
suspended for q time, about year
ago, when the wife was adjusted in
sane aud was sent to the asylum for
dangerous insane criminals at Iona.

From C@ur D'Alene.

WARDNER, Aug. l7.-Yesterday
was payday at the different mining
camps In Ceur d'Alene, and some
trouble was expected between union
and non-union men. AT Wardner
there was little or no excitement iu-
cident thereto. AT Burke il became
necessary for the military 10 close
all saloons TO prevent serious col
lision between the two factions,
Men of both parties were drinking
heavily, and only the presence Of
troops prevented trouble. Guns
which have been hidden 10y union
men could be readily obtained If
opportunity presented itself for us
ing them. The light sentences
given the ringleaders at Boise is re-
ceived by the rank and file here as
evidence that the proceedings
against them will be a matter of
minor Importance, and they now
openly boast that they will yet send
the scabs out of the country, never
to return.
