What 1t Means.
MN out.

1t is safe to say that not one half
of the voters of the country know
the exact meaning of the term "l6
to l. as used in the coinage of gold
and silver.
The term of "16 to /" as used in
reference to American coinage since
1884 (prior to hat date it had been
10 to y means that it requires 1898
grains of silver in our silver coins to
express the same debt-paying power
as is expressed by one grain of gold
in our gold coins, In other words,
our government enacts that it will
coin all its standard goli and silver
coin (and by the standard we mean
full legal tender and made of metal
which must be nine-tenths pure and
one-tenth alloy of such weight and
f~ineness that the weight of the silver
in the silver coins designed to have
a given debt-paying power, shall be
1898 times the weight of gold coins
having the same debt-paying power.
Ten dollars in coined silver shall
weigh 1898 times as many grains as
ten dollars in coined gold. The ra-
ito is not exactly expressed by rs to
l, nor even by 1898 to l., but by
15.9SS37o9 to l.. This is the frac-
ton arrived at by dividing either
37l.2o grains of pure silver in the
silver dollar by 1922, that being
the number of grains Of pure gold
in the gold dollar, or by dividing
1928, that being the weight of sill
yer with the alloy in the silver doll
ar, by 25.S, that being the number
of grains of gold with the alloy in
the gold dollar.

CAMPBELL'S DRUG STORE.
Angling as She Is.

A small party of young people left
town last Saturday morning, with spirits
buoyant, and expectations bright to ties,
the willingness of the tinny tribe to play
the hackle. The party consisted of FREQ
Sprague, Walter Bell, Jack Wilson
Chas. Stroup, and Phil Burns. All day
long they alternately cast the line and
jerked up. All day long in a broiline
sun they invoked the divine blessing and
spit on their bait. But all in vain.
Stroup observed that the wind was
down the gulch, and reminded the party
that they could have no luck till the
same had shifted. Wilson attributed
their ill-fate to the new moon which had
come in only two days before. He said
fishing was always better when that
luminary is in the full. Burns said he
never saw it fail, that if the populist
party was in any degree successful, the
fishing for that year would not be good.
Sprague was just calling him down on
the argument when his own line gave a
swish and darted off as if a Missouri cat
fish was taking it for keeps. He quickly
braced himself by a tension of the latis-
sinus dorsi muscles and gave a fearful
jirk. A shout of exultation arose from
the crowd as he landed a fine little bull
head, or pollywog, The exact genus being
as yet a subject of doubt.
Bell, who had as yet had but little to
say was green with envy, when he noted
his friends success. He left the party
and went further up the stream for one
extreme and mastery effort. He found
a shallow pool shut off from the creek in
which a small trout had been stranded,
being unable to reach his frisky com
rades who were throwing kisses at the
fishermen from the stream near by.
Walter lost no opportunity in %siezing
the unfortunate little fish with his hands,
holding it tightly until he had run to
where his comrades were. The party
came 70 town to exhibit their catch.
Weighing the string on Budge's drug
scales it was found that Sprague had
caught 81 grains and Bell 20 grains,
Troy weight of fish, ar a total of one-
fifth of an ounce. Bells fish measures
one and one quarter inches in length
and ~Sprague's one and five eighths. But
why isn't a fish a fish we'd like to know?

EditorialIy Estimated.

HE liar whom the editor hates
worst of all is the man who. when
dunned for a years subscription,
says he only received two or three

Next to, if not above this one. the

finally cornered for settlement saws
he never ordered the paper at ALL

But the worst liar of the whole

away without paying or saying any
thing about it, and yet says he is an
honest man.-Elsberry Advance.

Mccarthy Was Slow in Putting up
His Hands

BY a chance blow Dan Creedou
Knocked out Billy Mccarthy at Gal
weston in less than one minute.
Mccarthy was a little slow in putt
ing up his hands. Creedon took ad-
vantage of it and landed on the chin,
which dazed Mccarthy. He follow
ed it up with his right, knocking
Mccarthy against the ropes. McCar-
thy still stood his ground, but was
too dazed to defend himself. He
stood up before Creedon again and
was promptly knocked against the
ropes. Again he came up dazed
and "A tap on the chin put him out.
Referee Duffy pat his arms around
Mccarthy as he fell and counted
him out.

which the Improvements had been made,
aud as soon as this was done it appears
that Viau took up the claim that Wei

AT THE SPRINGS,


From the Iiusbandman:

wonderful Oriental sapphire field. Only
a very small portion of this discovery is
situated within the boundary of Meagh-

The government will print no more
envelopes for business people. This

been abandoned by the government, and
hereafter private individuals will be
compelled to go to private printing
offices when they want envelopes print

IN HOOK.
The Prisoner Formally Charged
With the Murder OF B1anch La
mont

Theodore Durrant was taken from
his cell in the San Francisco prison
Saturday and formally charged with
the murder of Blanche Lamont. He
had been very surly for the past two
days and made no effort to conceal
his irritation that morning. elbow
much more are you going to charge
me WITH" he growled at Detective
Seymour, who swore to the com
plant.
The prison officials are confdant
that Durrant's friends bring him
drugs which enable him to sleep IL
hours a day. To the use of these
opiates his increasing irritability is
ascribed. He is fast becoming what
is known as an unreasonable and
troublesome prisoner. Chief Crow
ley has ordered that no notice shall
be taken of anything the prisoner
says, minor prison officials having
complained of Durrant's rudeness.
Friends Of Durrant still affect to
believe in his innocence, even prom
ising to solve the mystery of the
murder, limiting that the murderers
were the work of a middle aged mar
ried resident of the Mission, who has
since disappeared.
The plan of District Attorney
Barnes to try Durrant for the La
mont murder first is generally com
mended. Considered alone, the
Williams case is deemed weak for
the prosecution, and with another
case to be tried, a jury verdict of
guilty would be doubtful. The
prosecution fears the moral effect of
an acquittal in one case. The evil
dence in the Lamont case is consid-
cred o conclusive. 1t is probable
that the grand jury will be asked to
indict Durrant for the Lamont muir
der. This would render unnecessary
a police court investigation.

Missourians on Silver,

The evening Democrat of this city
has interviewed the members of the
Missouri Legislature on the silver
question and publishes the answer to
the question, "Are you in favor of
the free coinage of silver by the
United States at the present ratio?"
Five republicans and seven dem
ocrats answered in the affirmative,
and four republican senator's in the
negative. In the house seventeen
republicans and twenty-four demo-
Gratis replied in the affirmative, and
fourteen republicans, two democrats
and two populists in the negative.

RUMORS.
Some Evidences of Activity in Great
Northern and in Burlington Cir

Northern and in Burlington Cir
cles.
The presence Ct Great Northern surv-
eyors at work between the falls and the
present main line of the road, says the
Leader, is in line with the reports chron-
icled a few days ago. The sudden ADAM
donment of permanent repairs already
under way between Verona and Great
Falls doubtless means that the change of
route will come sooner than many ex-
pected. 1t is learned on pretty reliable
authority that the new route will begin
at Verona, a station a little this side of
Big Sandy, coming into this city from
the direction of Rainbow falls. The in
dications are that the work will be begun
before July l..
Next week a delegation of Burlington
people will visit the city to look over
matters in the interest of that road. AL
ready this spring their agents have been
prospecting through the Judith country,
~ostensibly for the purpose of getting data
OF the traffic naturally tributary to that
line if built. 1t is merely a business pro-
position with railroads as with individu-
ais, whether the expenditure of a certain
sum of money will be considered a safe
investment. When that is demonstrated
the Burlington officials will not be slow
to take advantage of the situation. 1t
looks now as if that demonstration IS
about to be completed.
The work has begun on the Great Falls
and Lewistown telephone line at this end
of the route. At the othor end work was
started several days ago. The conven-
fence of this line Of quick communica-
ton will be appreciated by business men
and ranchcrs throughout the country
tributary to it.

AT FORT


From the Press:
The Fort Benton dramatic club PLAYED
to a crowded house at Fort A%ssinniboinc
on Saturday evening, being treated with
liberal hospitality by the officers of the
fort. The members of the club were
highly pleased at the reception given
them, and hope to repeat the visit on
some future occasion.
A correspondent informs US that set
tiers around the Sweet Grass hills are be-
ing harrassed by migratory bands Of In
dams from across the line, who are con-
%tinually pilfering from cabins during the
absence of the owners. Unless the nui-
sance is abated, it is apt to result in fuss
of large proportions.
Fort Benton was made matrimonial
headquarters Saturday evening by Ed.
Brown, of Blackfoot, and Miss Lizzie
Hecht, of Neihart. A marriage license
was secured and the wedding ceremony
performed by Justice Crane in the par
lors of the Grand Union. The happy cou-
pie left yesterday morning on the west
bound train.

PRESCRIPTIONS.

1t doesn't matter how careful and
painstaking a druggist may be if the
crude drug is wrong, ability and con-
scientious work will not make right tine
tares and prescriptions. The cleverest
workman is handicapped by poor ma
t%erials. Known strength in the tipctures,
fluid extracts and drugs produce
a prescription of known strength; a pre-
scription on the result OF which the ply
stefan can base his treat rept. This is in
teresting to the physician, druggist and
yourself.
Each time the dispenser of medicine
buys a drug he must rely on the firm of
whom he buys-it's the firm rather than
the goods you have to judge by. The
right firm has the right goods.
In justice to the physician and to you
we use none but the purest drugs obtain
able in our prescriptions-drugs put up
by firms whose name on an article is a
guarantee of it's excellence.
