The audience that witnessed the
Princess Bonnie performance in New
Iberia last Saturday was not as
large as it should have been. A
coincidence which may have had
some bearing upon this fact was The
absence Of any mention of the event
in the Enterprise, the leading paper
in the town, mhich was issued on
that day. Moral: You can't do
business without the assistance OF
tho newspapers.-Courier

Counterfeit silver 10 cent pieces,
that contain as much If not more
silver than genuine COIN, have been
discovered in the United States SUBJ

from banks and are so carefully made
that il requires the trained eye of an
expert TO detect their bogus charac-
ter. The coins have the appearance
OF being well worn, a result of care.

fciter and a valuable aid to their

have been sent to the secret service
who pronounce them most
dangerous counterfeits and express
the belief that they were made in
Europe and sent to this country for
circulation. Record.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more. with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value TO health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant TO the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative T; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in so cent bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

GREAT FALLS GOSSIP,

GREAT FALLS, Feb. 20.-Pursuant 10
call about 20 populists met in Groves hall
Monday evening to discuss matters of
importance TO the third partyites, particu-
larry respecting the advisability of put
ting ticket in the field at the approach
ing city election. II. II. Ewing acted as
chairman. He said that the populists
we're still somewhat in it regardless of all
the members of the other parties could
say to the contrary. He desired to hear
The sentiments of the meeting on various
questions relating to the welfare of the
pops. o. NJ. Holmes, editor of the popu-
list organ, the Nel0s, declared the pops
were harmonious and would present a
solid front TO the other two parties at the
spring election. There were several ques-
lions of moment to the city that should
he settled forthwith. and he was of the
opinion the only salvation lay with the
pops. They should put a full ticket in the
field this spring from mayor down to al
dermen. This was loudly applauded. f..
j. Judd got the floor and proceeded to
deal the old parties n few side-winders.
Doc Morrison, L. w. Murphy of Benton,
). Il. Jensen, Joe Chenevert and others
spoke in a similar strain.
There was no lack of applause, espec-
tally when one speaker said the issue in
tho city election should be the question of
the city ownership of the water works.
Another brought down the house by de-
claring that if the republican party swal-
lowed the popuhsts IL would have more
brains in its stomach than in its head.
One or two favored fusion with the demo-
Gratis. but they met with little encourage
mcnt.
1t was tho sense OF tho meeting that the
third party in this city is strong enough
TO paddle Its OWL canoc without assist
ance from either of the older parties 1t
is no secret that the populists are not
lacking N timber for every Office frotn
mayor TO dog catcher. If they do nos fuse
with the democrats, tho city election
promises 20 be n three-cornercd fight.
which bids fair to become remarkably in
teresting before the polls close on cleo
ton day next April.

Bress of Events In Cas-
cade's Thriving Me-
tropoliS.

GREAT FALLS, Feb. 20.-Nels Hoiseth, a
Norwegian car repairer, in the employ OF
the Great Northern, was drowned in the
Missouri river here to-day. He was work.
ing on this side of the river and about 10
O'Clock this morning no was returning
on the ice from store on the west side,
carrying about 40 pounds of iron bolts.
Near tho shore on this side he stepped
into a hole made by ice gatherers, the sur
face of which was covered with partially
frozen slush ice.
Al Freeman. a fisherman. who was
standing near the western shore, saw him
disappear and at once started to his as
sistance, meanwhile calling to Ed Dumont
and others on the bank. They came on
with pike poles and graphing irons.
About 80 feet down the river from where
Hoiscth fell in there is another hole left
by the ice harvesters. Dumont made for
II and stuck several pike poles into the
bottom of the river, which is about 10 feet
deep at that point, in the hope of CATCH
ing the body il it passed by with the cur
reat. The others throw graphing irons
III and dragged for the body. They kept
tins up for half an hour and were re-
warded by finally catching hold OF it and
drawing it to tho surface. But it was too
late as all evidences of life wero gone.
Repeated efforts TO bring about resusc-
tation proved futile. Coroner Weitman
was summoned and he ordered the body
