The School Book Mess.

The late legislative assembly left
the school book situation in bad
shape Unless the various school
boards of the state come to CON-
mon agreement within the next few
weeks there will be no uniform sys-
tenn of text books in Montana during
the next two years-in fact, once let
the uniform system 60 to pieces, let
every school district introduce the
books of its own choice and IL will be
difficult ever to restore uniformity. q
1t was understood at first that the
states present contract would con-
tinue in force after the date of its ex-
piration until new contract should
be made Possibly the America n
Book company, which has the con-
tract, may still take this position and
seek to enforce its contention by ap-
pealing to the courts. But in the
Judgment OF disinterested persons,
lawyers and others, who have care
fully examined the status of the case,
the passage of Senator Smead's school
bill leaves the American Book com.
pany, should IL make any such claim,
without a leg to stand on. The con-
tract will expire by Limitation, and,
there being no law to the contrary,
every school district will be free to go
it alone aud every school teacher Of
the state has only to obtain the con-
sent of his trustees to introduce the
books Of his particular choice. Natu-
rally every teacher has his individual
preferences, and what with the i'm
portunings of the book agents-of
whom there are already a number 60
ing about the state, with many others
on the wsy-s reign of chaos and con-
fusion is sure TO follow unless, as sug-
gested, immediate steps are taken for
a common agreement; either, first, to
retain the books now in use for two
years longer, that is until the next
session of the legislature; or second,
to select ad interim a new system of
books upon the recommendation of
the state board of education.
The Smead law makes il the duty
of the state board of education "to re-

.BimetalIism."

country. With such a sentiment among repuD-
licans. how on earth is a republican national

Our esteemed republican contem-
porary in Butte would have us believe
that there are just as many silver men,
and just as strong silver sentiment,
and just as universal an awakening
upon the question and just as general
and deep-seated desire for the free
coinage Of silver in the republican
party as in the democratic. All right

At this season everyone should take

has become loaded with impurities
and the whole system should be reno

Some four years ago, when six years old,
George was attacked by hip disease in his
right leg. We had to get him q pair of
crutches, with which he was able to move
about, but became badly deformed. We
had to have his right leg lsnced just above
the knee. In a few weeks a second sore
broke out, both dischsrging freely. Agon-
izing pains afflicted him, he could not bear

He had no appetite, and it was hard work
to make him eat enough to keep him alive.
A few weeks later we had his hip lanced,
and following this FIVE other eruptions
broke out, making eight running sores in
all. We did all we could for him, but he
grew weaker every day, although we had
three of the best physicians. As a last re-
sort we were prevailed upon by relatives
who had taken Hoods Sarsaparilla with
beneficial results to give the medicine q
trial. We got one bottle about the 1rst
Of March, and he had taken the medi-
cine only few days when his appetite be-
gan to improve. When he had taken one
bottle he could move about little with
his crutches, which he had not been able
to use for the preceding three months. We
continued faithfully with Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and in six months he was
Able to be Dressed

crutches. He has now taken Hoods Sar-

and for the past ak months has been with

by severel inches. The sores have all healed
with the exception Of one which is rapidly
