If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead to back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. If well cooked,
foods are partially digested if poorly
cooked, they are less digestible than in
their raw state. If you are victim
of faulty cooking; that's, if you suffer
from Dyspepsia, the rational cure
must be looked for in an artifcially
digested food, and a food which will at
the same time aid the digestion of
other foods. Such a preparation vir-
tually rests the tired digestive organs,
thereby restoring them to their natur.

TWO SILENT NEN.

According to the reporters who are
keeping watch of things at Canton, o.,
Senator Quay's visit to Mr.. Mckinley
last Friday was short but not any too
sweet. Mr.. Mckinley met the Pennsyl-
vania man at the depot and drove him
to his residence. They were closeted
about an hour, when Mr.. Quay emerged
and took the next train out of town.
He did not appear TO be in a cordial
humor and rather snapped at the news
paper men," says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer reporter. Neither he nor Nc
Kinley would say word as to what
they had talked about. 1t was noticed
that Mckinley took the next train to
Cleveland. where Mark Hannas quar-
tiers are established.
Some of the reporters went aboard
Quay's train and accompanied him part
of the way home. He could not shake
them Off To a question as to whether
he thought Mckinley would be nomi-
mated at st. Louis, he announced that
he had nothing to say. Questioned as
to Mr.. Platt's tactics and MIR. McKin-
ley's financial views. he made the same
answer. But to the question. Are you
still candidate for the presidential
nomination." the senator pushed his
travelling cap back and said with en-
phasis 4 am still a candidate and shall
be voted for at st. Louis"
The purposes OF Quay's visit to Nc
Riniey may be disclosed at the st.
Louis convention. or may remain a
mystery forever. The reasonable in
ference is that the senator went to
make overtures for a seat on the band
wagon, and that he wasn't received
with the cordiality and distinction he
thought he was entitled to. 1t is quite
possible that Mr.. Mckinley thinks his
cinch on the republican party is such
that he can AFFORD to dispense with the
services of such volunteers as Quay
He may be mistaken.

HARRITY'S BLUFF.

Chairman Harrity has an astounding
| plan. He says that there will be no
boiling OF silver forces at Chicago be-
cause those in the free-coinage ranks
VINO might feel disposed to bolt will
not be admitted, to begin with. He
remarks that the gold-standard men
are In control of the national commit
tee and that they will attend to the
organization and the credentials.
Certain democratic managers are
saying, in support of Mr.. Harrity's re-
marks, that IF there is danger of
close vote or If silver men appear to
be in the majority. the national COM
mittee will contend that all silver dele
gates elected in conventions which
carried with them a threat to bolt, If
the Chicago convention does not ac-
cept silver. are not competent to sit in
the convention"
Mr.. Harrity is represented in the
New York Sun, whence these words are
quoted, as thoroughly understanding
the programme of the administration"
Mr.. Harrity is trying to run a great
first place, no state conventions have
Threatened to bolt" In the second
place, the national committee is in no
way competent to draw the proposed
line. Far from 1t. the national COM
mittee invites the democrats in the
states to send delegates to a national
convention. offering even to receive as
At "A. L.
with the democratic party but who may
possibly feel disposed hereafter to do
so. And even IL certain states were to
threaten to bolt" they would still be
entitled to sit; no national committee
has the right to bar them.
See how the thing has worked among
Mr.. Harrity's goldbugs. Lately they
discovered that the silver men are like
ly to control at Chicago. Forthwith
many of them, speaking through a
| dozen democratic newspapers which
reach Montana, have declared that
a silver majority at Chicago would not
be genuine democracy and that they
would not be bound by a silver plat
form. The goldbugs are the people
who have done the bulk of the talking
about a bolt; will Mr.. Harrlty's COM
mittee permit his plan to be applied
to them?
For that matter. some of these gold
bug democrats have bolted already.
In Illinois they have refused outright
10 operate with the recognized demo-
cratic organization in that state. They
want to present contesting delega-
ton at Chicago. They will be boilers
on their arrival there. Will Harrty
seat them?
But, then, Mr.. Harrity is talking
through the administrations hat. His
bluff Is harmless-it frightens no
friend of free coinage.

gress Of the recent celebrations warrants
the conclusion that the prophecies Of
murder and riot and trouble are the
invention of the overweight imagina-
ton of the foreign correspondents. The
car has been pictured as a man pallid
with fear. worried to the point of i'll
ness by the dread of sudden assault,
and hedged in by a host of armed
guards at every inch Of his travels.
The account of what happened last
week. on the occasion of the czar's for
NAL entrance into Moscow is utterly at
variance with all this romancing The
car rode leisurely from the railway
station, he was not closely attended,
he was robust in appearance, crowds
greeted him. In the same way, yester-
days procession seemed not to have
involved a greater amount of PERSONAL
attendance than is usual to royalty on
occasions of state.
OF course. the ruler of Russia does
not forget the experience of those who
have gone before him. Alexander the
Second. the grandfather of the man
who was crowned yesterday, had a
sorry experience. He lived long in daily
peril of violent death. Thirty years
ago last month he was shot at in st.
Petersburg. The next year. while he
was a visitor in Paris. Pole tried to
kill him. In 1879, he barely escaped as
sassination. A few months later an at
tempt was made to wreck his palace
and, still later, to wreck the train on
which he was journeying between st.
Petersburg and Moscow. At last. in
1851. he met a violent death as the vic
tim of a famous conspiracy.
The cars father, during all the years
of his reign, lived in terror of like
fate. His reign witnessed a succession
of conspiracies and the constant depor-
tation of suspects. He did not venture
to Moscow for the coronation ceremony
until about two years after his Access
sion. That some anxiety should have
been felt, therefore, respecting yester-
days event was natural, but the cores
pondents foretold what did not happen
and described precautions which mani
testify were not taken.

VICIOUS KIDS.
Two Boys Who Are rying to Break Into
the Penitentiary.
A pair of precocious prisoners are
confined I'm the city jail. Neither of
them is more than IA years of age. One
of them is frankie McClelland who, If
he were older, would face the peniten-
tiary on charge of burglary, and the
other, Jimmie Gillespie, II he were not
so young, would have to answer to at
tempted criminal assault.
Young McClelland is the lad who ran
away recently to Deer Lodge and his
father hunted the country over to find
him. Monday night he was roaming
around Carroll and struck William APP
pleby for the contents of his lunch pail.
The boy said he had been visiting in
Deer Lodge and now was on his way
home. Mr.. Appleby took him to Grants
boarding house, gave him supper and
put him to bed in his room. Yesterday
morning when Mr.. Appleby woke up,
his young ledger was gone; so was his
watch. Chief White was at once told
to look out for the youngster, and the
officer caught him in a snort time, but
he had sold the watch for 80 cents to
boy named Greene. The Greene boy
was then hunted up and the watch re-
covered. frankie was put in the lock-
up and an effort will be made to send
him to Miles City. as his parents have
no control over him.
Young Gillespie assaulted a Agar
old girl whom he had enticed into a cell
lar. He tore her clothes and otherwise
roughly handled the child, who was res
cued by her mother hearing her cries.
He denies his guilt, but the child posi-
lively Identifies him. He also will be
sent to the reform school, If possible.
