Washington, Aug 17.-After the or
binary routine morning business in the
senate the report on the Montana
senatorial case was taken up and al
argument was made by Mr.. PascC
democrat, of Florida) against the
right of Mr.. Mantle to his seat, under
the governors appointment.
Senator Mcmillan, of Michigan, intro
duced a bill to provide for more ex
tended use of gold by the people OF
the United States. 1t amends the
statutes by reducing from $50 to S.
the minimum of gold certificates fol
gold and bullion deposits
The discussion Of the Montana sen,
atorial cases was continued when an
amendment was offered by Mr.. Cor
man to the national bank circulation
bill, limiting the aggregate withdrawal
of bank note circulation to $4,000, 900
in any calendar month, and requiring
sixty days notice of an intention to
withdraw currency.
The discussion of the Montana case
was then resumed. The senate agreed
TO take vote on the Lee-Mantle case
on Monday next at 5 o'clock.
Hcuse-Mr. Daniels of, New York,
opened the days debate in the house,
with a speech urging the unconditional
repeal of the purchase sections Of the
Sherman act
Mr.. Daniels was followed by Mr..
Cooper, a Florida democrat, who in
nounced himself as opposed to every
proposition made by the silver men
and for unconditional repeal.
Washinton. Aug. 1S.-In the house
the silver debate was opened by a
speech from Sibley (democraD of Penn.
He favored bi-metallism and the
Johnson interconvertible bond propo-
sition. There We're other speeches.
In the senate the finance committee
reported after long delay. The
minority report favors the coinage of
a 1914 grain dollar and fractional
currency proportionately. The ma
jority report favors the repeal of the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman
act accompanying it by a declaration
in flavor of bimetallism. Various
speeches were made, but nothing de-
finite was done.

MONTANA'S CATTLE OUTLOOK.
Very Few Calves This Year, But
Prospects Good for Beef Cattle.

| The first shipment Of beef cattle for
Chicago will be made next month from
the eastern part of the state, but the
heavy and steady shipments will not
begin for a month yet and will last un-
til well along III the fall. Last year the
first shipments were made the later
| part of June. Cattle came out of the
winter this year very poor, and they
were only now beginning to put on
flesh. Chicago commission men advise
the Montana growers to hold their cat
| tie until they are in prime condition,
saying the prospect is excellent for
good prices later in the season. Some
Dakota growers forced to sell, have al
ready shipped to Chicago, but their
| cattle was in such condition that they
brought only $3.50 to So per hundred.
Unless there are worse times East than
there are at present, and money gets
tighter, it is expected that Montana
cattle will average the growers in
Chicago this year $3.50 per hundred
OF course the best beef will go from S
to 50 higher, but it is the expectation
that the general average will be as
stated. This is about 81 more than cat
tie aggregated last year.
Reports from the round-ups indicate
that the calf crop will be very poor in
deed. Between the hard winter and
the wolves the increase in the herds
has been almost nothing. This lack of
calves will not be felt for several years,
but at the end of four years it will be
shown in the number of cattle on the
range, unless it is overcome by large
shipments of Southern cattle. 1t is not
probable, however, that those who
were caught last winter in pilgrim cat
tie will experiment very much in that
direction for some years to come. Only
two large herds have been brought in
to Montana this season. and it is not
known that there are any more on the
road.
Few people not in the cattle business
realize the immense damage the wolves
are infiictng on the cattlemen. One
big grower has lost during the last year
$1,000 this year, but that does not cover
his entire loss. It is fair to say that
700 of these calves, had it not been for
the wolves would have lived to be
three years old, and then they would be
worth $21, 900. That is the view and
the correct one, the cattle growers
take of the wolf pest.-Helena indie
pendent.

A wild hair is the most annoying
freak of nature a man can be afflicted
with. 1t grows in from the eyelids,
instead out, and, constantly brushing
an irritation that results in loss of
sight. To pull it out gives only tempo
rary relief, since in a few weeks it
comes back, as well grown and strong
as ever. The only way to kill it is to
destroy the sac from which it springs.
This is done by means of the electric
needle.

MANS VANITY.

brakes Magazine:-They were talk
ing Of the vanity of women, and one
of the few ladies present undertook a
defense. "Of course" she said, II adj
NIT that women are vain and men are
not why" she added, with glance
around, ''the necktie of the hand
soonest man in the room is even now
up the back of his collar" And then
she smiled-for every man present
had put his hand UP behind his neck.

to increase the circulation of national
banks to par value of bonds would not
be called up. Mr. COckrell offered an

| legal tender notes. A discussion fol-
| lowed between Messrs. Sherman and
COckrell. Mr.. Berry then addressed

! standard.

to the national bank circulation bill
to the effect that interest shall cease
on bonds on which additional circula-
ton will be based.

with the Gallinger amendment to it to
the effect that it would be unwise and
ineXpedient to make any radical change

| linger addressed the senate. He de-
clared himself ready to vote at the
earliest possible moment for the repeal
of the Sherman law, though he did not

WElSSERT ON PENSIONS.
The Grand Army Commander Ex-
plains the Veterans Attitude.

Los ANGELES. Aug. 5.-Commander-n-
Chief A. G. Weissert of the g. A. r. ar
rived in this city to-day. When asked
about the pension matter. he said: my
position. in fac. the position of the whole
Grand Army, is summed up in the brief
order that l issued before all this discus
sion, after my election in September. That
order was that all members of the G. A. R..
having been obligated to encourage honor
and purity in public affairs, are requested,
in case they know of any one receiving a
pension fraudulently, to report the same
promptly to the commissioner at Washing
ton.
''All Grand Army men encourage in every
instance the striking from the rolls of any
body dra wing an illegal pension. But the
members of the G. A. R., as we'll as all pa
triotic citizens, object most seriously to all
those drawing pensions, and who served
honorably during the war, being called
frauds. bummers. bounty jumpers and
thieves, especially when the parties max
ing those assertions were in neither the
army nor the navy during the war, and do
not cite single case where the law is be-
ing violated.
MANY people forget that the soldiers of
the late war are citizens as well as veter-
ans. The members of the G. A. r. were
so anxious to enforce the laws of the land
between 1876 that they offered their
lives for the purpose, and they have failed
to hear of anything that has changed their
minds since. They squelched the rebel
lion. and are just as anxious to enforce
the laws now as they were in 1876. They
are anxious that not only the pension
laws but all others be enforced"
