Remember the Sons OF Veterans and at
tend their masquerade ball and have a
good time.
In the selection of state veterinarian the
stock and sheep men of eastern Montana,
the grazing country Of the state, should
have been consulted. We do not know that
anyone particularly objects to Holloway,
but he is good deal Of carpet knight"
Good to knock around with in Helena, but
not much force on the range.-Billings Ca
zette. Perhaps it would be well enough for
Mr.. Holloway to take up his residence in a
stock -gowing region OF the state, or at least
visit such regions once in while.
DIR. Hanson was called to Ubet Saturday
to attend Mrs. Broekway, wife Of p. S.
Brockway, who had been employed in the
Ubet hotel since last spring. Mrs. Brockway
was taken i'll Tuesday with pneumonia and
died before the doctor reached there, he
not being summoned until too late to be of
any avail. The body was shipped to Vicks-
| burg, Mich, the former home of the de-
ceased. While at Ubet DIR. Hanson attended
| sheep herder who two weeks previous
had frozen his foot, but received no medi-
cal assistance. The accident will lay him
| up some weeks, although amputation was
| not necessary.
Rev Hawk led an informal service at the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon for
| the benefit of young men and parents.
Revs. Edwards and Garvin also spoke.
| The attendance was light. Little atten-
tion seems to be given in Lewistown to the
conduct of our youths, with the result that
the reputation OF some is not of the best.
A great work could be performed in this
| line, but it seems to us that the parents
| are the ones whose attention should be di-
rected to existing conditions. Unless the
fathers and mothers give heed to the facts
| it is useless for Others to interfere. Such
work must begin at home.
Several cases OF diphtheria having been
| reported from the western part OF the
state, the following remedy, which is said
| to be the best known. is worth preserving,
as physicians thus far seem powerless to
| cope with the dread disease. At the first
| Indication of diphtberia in the throat of a
| child make the room close; then take a
| tin cup and pour into it quantity Of tar
and turpentine, equal parts. Then hold
the cup over "A fire so as to fill the room
with fumes. The patient, on inhaling the
fumes, will cough up and spit out all the
menIbrannus matter. and the diphtheria
| v i'll pass Off The fumes of the tar and
turpentine loosen the matter in he throat,
and thus afford immediate relief.
By the time the segregations get through
with Meagher county the proud dominion
will be reduced to mere speck. Cascade
county wants slice OF six miles in width
including Wolf creek Barker and Running
| Wolf: the rev Broadwater county proposes
to take all west of the Belt range; Fergus
wants to her lines straight south from
| TIBET to Mprino or thereabout; Yellowstone
| wants u notch in the vicinity of Lavina
and last, but not least, it is proposed to
create Sweet Grass county, with Big Tim
| her for the county seat, taking the Musse-
shell to the river from Martinsdale east, in
Guiding Big aud Little Elk, American Fork
| and Fish creek. This is repacity with a
vengence and is so ridicously absurd that we
predict that they will all fail.-Husband-
| man.
5. b. Flowers returned from the east last
| Sunday evening and was six days on the
road from Great Falls. Mr.. Flowers left
here last November for Washington. ID. c.,
for the purpose of securing a settlement by
the government for losses sustained by
Piute Indians in 1878. Mr.. Flowers was
at that time horse raiser in Oregon aud
| the claim was for horses stolen by the In
dians. He has been pushing the claim
since the above date, but was unable to
| secure a settlement until now, and while he
did not secure the full amount of his claim,
is apparently satisfied that the matter is
over with. On his way east Mr.. Flowers
stopped in North Dakota to make some
| collections on horses sold last year, and
found times fairly good for that section.
While away he also visited the cities oi
Detroit, Toronto, New York and Balti
more and IA sister, who lives Rich
mond, Virginia. He says the cold weather
extends to the Atlantic ocean and pretty
well south.
