Special Correspondence Of the Standard.
Livingston, Dec. 23.-The Northern
Pacific has a force of 140 men now at
work on the Bozeman tunnel. and the
task of removing the debris and re-
timbering the 3.700-foot bore is being
vigorously prosecuted from both ends.
Thus far the work has progressed
without any very serious accidents,
though a number of the men at work
in the west end had a narrow escape
from asphyxiation last Saturday. The
smoldering embers were famed into a
flame and the west end filled with
smoke and deadly gases so suddenly
that several of the laborers were over
come before they could reach the
mouth of the tunnel. They were res
cued. however. but when dragged out
to the open air were more dead than
alive.
1t has been more than a month since
the work of repairing the tunnel was
commenced, but still the long and tedi-
Gus task can be said to have only just
begun. Men who have a personal
knowledge of the great destruction
wrought by the two months fire say
that it will take all next summer to re-
pair the damage. From present indi-
cations the tunnel will not be put in
shape again so as to admit of its use
inside of a year. The workmen are
only in 400 feet from the west end, and
1t will take so days yet to reach the big
cave which extends to the top of the
mountain, forming a huge chimney.
The fire did not extend to within sew
eral hundred feet of the east end, and
the force from this side is now in
about 1000 feet, though hardly $50 feet
of timbering has been replaced.
Great masses of earth and rock con-
tinue to fall and some apprehension Is
felt for the perfect safety of the switch
back where 1t crosses the top of the
tunnel. The overhead track runs dag
onally across the tunnel and there is
possibility of the whole works caving
in. During the past week the company
has had civil engineers engaged In
surveying for a new sky line-one that
will run over the mountain without
crossing the tunnel.

The Commissioners Have n Confer

Secret conferences upon important mat

rather than the exception nowadays at the

der prohibiting the newspapers from OBJ
tanning the legitimate news went into ef-
feet, the Commissioners gave 1t out that
public board meetings would be held every
day at IL o'clock, which would be open to
the press and public. But 1t has been a
rare occurrence when one of these meet
ings has been public. Today the board con-
vened shortly after IL o'clock, and for half
an hour heard the objections of a property
holder to certain features of the new street
extension plan. This meeting was of the
star chamber order, and the press was re-
fused admittance. Next came the con-
tractors for removing garbage. Their busi-
ness was to discuss the proposed annulment
of the present contract, so that, with the
increased appropriation, the District could
get a better service When a Star reporter

A New Discovery by the
Shakers.

For more than a hundred years the Mount Leba.
non Shakers have studied the cultivation of medci
nal plants and sought to extract from them their
healing essences Their labor has not been spent
In vain. They have made a discovery that will
prove a blessing to mankind. 1t consists of a cor
dial that causes immediate relief cases of tpdi-
gestion. The importance Of this discovery will be
apparent when We realize that nearly nIpe-teuths
OF all our suerings caused by dyspepsia or in
digestion. Nearly every person you meet has this
digestive trouble in some Of its varied forms
sick headache. distress after eating, pain and full
ness in the chest after eating palpita.ion Of the
heart. ETC.. are but symptoms Of indigestion. To
relieve these suferings has been the study Of the
Shakers. and they have succeeded. The reason the
Shaker Digestive Cordial has such an immediate
and salutary effect is that 1t the food eaten
to be digested for 1t is undigested that
the distress. The cordial causes the food to be
dgesed before there is time for it to ferment and
the stomach. When the food is so digested
1t gives strength and vigor to the feeble body,
makes one feed bright and cheerful, and makes one
gain in flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is SO prompt in its action
that the very first dose Will have a perceptibly
favorable result. 1t gives immediate relief.
In order to prove this statement, small trial
bottles placed in the druggists hands be OBJ:
tained for 10 cents each. This trial bottle will
have q decided beneficial effect and will satisfy
any one that the Cordial is adapted to his case.
After a trial give praise to the Shakers Of Mount

CENSORS AGAINST THE VlCEROY
Ex-Secretary Foster Arrives at the

THE GENERALS SENTIMENTS

SHANGHAI, April ga dispatch re-
ceived here from Pekin says that affairs
there are in critical state. Some of the
generals are in favor of continuing the
war. The censors object to Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang and the terms of the treaty
of peace between China and Japan, and
the officials are claiming that the emperor
alone should decide upon the terms. The
ratification of the treaty, consequently, is
uncertain, and fit is ratified it is feared
that there will be trouble with the army.
LONDON. April GA Pekin dispatch to
the London Times says that Mr.. John w.
Foster, the American advisor Of the Chi
nese peace ENJOYS, and the secretary to Ii
Hung Chang, have arrived there, AMI that
the treaty of peace between China and
Japan is now before the emperor and his
ministers. The Chinese foreign office yes
terday consulted with the different foreign
legations. Many of the censors have pre-
sented memorials against the treaty.
Prince Kung, president of the foreign
Office and of the council of minister's has
obtained seven days more sick leave
Other officials hesitate to recommend the
ratification Of the treaty.
Viceroy Ii Hung Chang will probably not
come to Pekin, but will go to Chefoo, If
the Notifications are exchanged there, as
proposed.

EMILY HALLS DEATH.
Result Of Inquirlea Regarding the
Nov

Result of InIuiriea Regarding the
Rev. Jonathan Bcll.
LONDON, April 26.-Inquiries regarding
the Rev. Jonathan Bell of Old Barry, near
Birmingham, who is suspected of having
been concerned in the death, in hospital
in Detroit. of an English girl named Emily
Hall, show that in his addresses to his
congregation after his return from the
United States he stated that he had stay
ed, while in America, with his brother-in-
law, a Congregational minister of Saint
Clair, Michigan.
1t is thought probable that the father of
the dead girl and some of his friends will
go to the United States, as they are anx-
ious to make a complete Investigation Of
the circumstances attending her death.
For some weeks past the Rev. Mr.. Bell
has been selling the contents of his library
on the plea of disposing Of his surplus
books.
The Sheffield Gazette says that the police
have begun to take action in the matter
at the request Of Mr.. Hall, father of the
dead girl.
