Each plug contained a few hairs from the head of the deceased and a piece of garment that had been worn next the skin. Each ingredient had an important significance, but exactly what it was no one knew or knows to this day, unless some aged voodoo lin gers in the land and holds the secret.
 The major examined the signs point ed out. Only q practiced eye in broad daylight would have been apt to discover them. He deliberately took out his knife and began to pick at plug. The change that came over Isam was lu- dicrous. He clutched the majoe's arm and chattered out:

 Probably no words are mol frequently quoted than these, and surely none could have a greater meaning or show moro clearly that some calamity in our lives, caused perhaps by ourselves, through ig- norance, carelessness, or insufficient at tention to the laws of nature, might have been averted. How true is it especially in regard to the sick.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that all the organs of the body are under the con- trol of the nerve centerS, located in or near the base of the brain, and that when these are nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re- membered that serious injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below the injured point, because the nerve force is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, it will be understood hoy the derangement of the nerve centers will cause the derangement of the various organs which they supply with nerve force.
 Two-thirds Of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from a derange- ment primarily originating in the organ it. self. The great mistake Of physicians in organ rather than the nerve centers which are the cause of the trouble.

A Commissioner.

The following short history of
w. D. Jones, republican candidate
for county commissioner, Teton
county, speaks for itself.
Mr.. Jones came to Montana in
the year 1876, at the age Of 20
years, and worked for wages in
Lewis and Clarke county until
1879, when he went to work on the
agency buildings at Badger Greek.
In 1880, the year of the w~ell-re-
membered hard winter, he settled
on Dupuyer and cast his fortunes
with Montana as a sheepman and
rancher. During the years which
have elapsed since that time Mr..
Jones has, by industry and energy,
aided only by hard work with his
own hand, improved and cultivated
his ranch until now it stands equal
to any in the county. Nor has
this been a small task, as the land
was a desert, and has been forced,
by a well~directed system of irri-
CATION, % yield an abundant croE
of cereals and vegetables, while
400 tons of hay, mostly timothy
can be easily cut from it. During
this time the duties pertaining t.
an open-handed hospitality have
not been allowed to relax, as al
who have the pleasure of visiting
his home well know.
