YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION

Mood attention at this time. If YOU
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over
work or strain on brain and body. The
course of treatment for such 4 cOndi-
ton is plain and simple. The blood
must first be purified so that the ner-
vous system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. lntelli-
gent people without number have tes-
titled that the best blood purifier, nerve
tonic and strength imparting medicine
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Nervousness,
loss of sleep and general debility all
vanish when Hoods Sarsaparilla is
persistently taken; in Il word, health
and happiness, follow after taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

He Was Not Insane.

/; Frank A. johnson, a resident Of
the West side. was taken before
Judge OF Probate Richardson late
last Friday on. complaint Oh
come of the neighbors for examina-
ton to determine as to his sanity.
johnson, it seems, had been doing
some rather promiscuous shooting
with q revolver few evenings ago.
A bullet from his revolver went
through a window OF the residence
Of one Of his reighbors named Love.
The ball lodged in the wall OF the
house, but fortunately no one was
injured by it. Johnson explained
that he was shooting to scare away
dogs that were disturbing him, and
he also gave a satisfactory explain
alton of how he came into posses
sion of the revolver. johnson has
been q resident of the West side for
seven or eight years. and has always
borne a good reputation, which was
testified to by several Of the leading
West side citizens at the examina-
ton. Two young ladies, who were
witnesses, testified that some time
ago johnson had shot at them as
they were passing his residence.
They claimed that the shooting oc-
Cured in the evening, and they saw
the bullet from the revolver as 1T
passed between them. Little weight
was given to the testimony and
Johnson was discharged.

The Northern Pacific road ia sup

ern and through passenger business,
and does not propose to give up its
position as the leading route for
western travellers. The passenger
has Just issued acircular,
in which it claims that the presen t
trains:1 and 2 with the decreased
number Of cars) are now making the
through run with less effort on the
shortened time than did old l and
with the dozen or more cars. Since
the new time card went into effect
there have been only four late trains
at terminals, and they were only
from 20 to 33 minutes late. The
Northern Pacific makes better time
by 5 hours to Helena than does the
Great Northern, 8 hours better to
Butte, and also much quicker to
Spokane, Tacoma and Seattle. The
very finest cars are ruin on the N. p.
trains, and the dining and sleepin5,

demands of the travelling public.
The Northern Pacific will retain it's
supremacy as the leading railroad
line of the Northwest.

THE BANNER OBJECTS.
Complains That the South Part
of the County Was
Misused.

sa Commenting on the APPROXIMATIONS
OF road and bridge money by the
board ot county commissioners, the
Royalton Banner says:
"Royalton, Bellevue, Two Rivers
and Elm Dale cannot be blamed for
being dissatisfied with tie meagre
appropriation they received. All we
asked and all we wanted was a fair
appropriation, but We did not getit.
1t will do no good, but the divine
right to kick Is left us and we pro-
pose to exercise 1t. Some OF the COM
n,issioners seemed to think that the
money was their own, and they hHd
a right to parcel 1t out to their
favorites according to their own
sweet will and in total disregard Ut
the needs and demands Of the public:
No one will deny that citizens from
the lower part Of the county have as
many rights as citizens in other
parts, except, perhaps, IL be Wind
bag LaFOnd. Upon what theory
the commissioners based the apprO-
priation is hard to determine, ex-
cept it be the one we advanced
favoritism.. Why. in the name OF
common sense, was Motley given
$500. nearly the full amount Of it's
demand, and enough to make
good it's entire loss. and Belle
yue, Elm Dale, Two Rivers and
Royalton only 81 900, when the loss
these towns had sustained was fully
ten times as great as MOtley's loss?
II this town, under the circumstan
was entitled to $500, then We should
have received over $4,000. II it was
right and just to give us $1,000, or
one-eighth of our loss. then it wonlu
have been right and Just to have
given Motley one-eighth of her loss,
or $3.50, and the other towns in the
same ratio. 1t was a very unfair
appropriation. We have no COM
plant to make against Mr.. Jacob
son. He was disposed to do what
was right .s-G II.
A newspaper should sustain the
demands made by it's town, but It
seems that the Banner figures the
division of the money on the wrong
basis. The county had only about
$4 900 available, and of this $1,000
was voted for a bridge between
Bellevue and Two Rivers, $500 to re-
pair the bridge across Platte river in
Bellevue town and $3.50 for Il free
ferry across the Mississippi between
Bellevue and Two Rivers. The
largest appropriation wassmade for
the Mississippi bridge. and more
than one third of all the $4,000 went
to bellevue town or at It's borders.
The loss was heavy there, but the
county had never undertaken to
construct or maintain the Mississippi
bridge, and it could not in justice to
the people of the county devote a
greater share of the road and bridge
fund to that purpose. Road work
is needed badly in the recently SET
tied parts of the county and bridges
in many towns had to be rebuilt.
While Royalton's loss was heavy,
and a large settlement on the west
side need the bridge, other parts Of
the county had just as vitalinterests,
and they were as strongly presented.
The surplus Of rain and the lack OF
county money should bear the at
tacks of the BANNER, instead OF the
county commissioners.
