Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnifi-
cent scenery in the world. It's road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE WEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
far.ous by the beauty and variety
of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele-
gance of its trains. Through Pull
man palace sleeping cars between
Ogden, Salt Lake City and Denver;
through Pullman tourist or family
sleeping cars to Kansas City, Chi
cago and Boston without change;
and free reclining chair cars. For
rates, printed matter, ETC., write to

afflicted with rheumatism that he
was only able to hobble around with
canes. and even then it caused him
great pain. After using Chamber

WHEN TO

The Supreme Court Holds That the Law
OF 1898 is in Force.
The supreme court in a recent opin-
ion by Judge Hunt decided the law of
1893, respecting registration. to be in
force. Since the adoption of the codes
there has been a question as to what
sections of the law held. The law was
very conflicting. The question was
raised by mandamus proceedings
brought in supreme court several
weeks ago by representatives of three
political parties in Lewis and Clarke
county. 1t was alleged that S. c. Gill
patrick. general agent for district No.
!, this county, threatened to open his
Office on Sept. Is. as provided in one
section of the law. The REALTORS claim
ed that any electors registering before
the first Tuesday in October. as pro-
vlded in the law of 1893. could not
legally vote, and they asked for an in
Junction restricting Fitzpatrick from
beginning the work of registration be-
fore before that date. 1t was a friend

hesitate. His duty is plain to my a
OF thinking. The Democratic cam
paign from its beginning has been one
of yelled concessions to the Peoples
Party. They have stolen our thunder
in their platform, but they are not dis
posed to make any. open concessions.

it comes to disposing of Sewall.

An Exciting and Novel Contest at Attn

Nearly a thousand people witnessed
the 24-mile bicycle race between the
six professional lady cyclists and a like
number Of Butte's speediest wheelmen
at Ethletic park yesterday afternoon.
The race proved to be one of the most
exciting contests of the kind ever seen.
and also served to introduce to the
large audience the famous lady cyclists
who will face the starter tonight for
the great six-day race, says the Miner.
The ladies raced on the saucer. shap-
ed board track. while the gentlemen
rode on the dirt track. The ladies won
the contest covering the "a miles in 62
minutes-remarkably fast time. con-
sldering the intense heat and rather
high wind. Miss Tillie Anderson of
Chicago, the present holder of the
worlds championship, rode the fastest
mile--2:32. Miss May Allen of Liver
pool, England. covered a mile in 2:36.

TIE ST. LOUIS FIASCO.

The Populists of Montana are for sill.
yer. and we believe that the action O
the convention a s.. Louis will not
meet with even luke-warm endorsement
in this state. In nominating Bryan
for president they did right: in nomi-
mating Watson for vice-president they
did wrong. 1t is confusing and can do
the cause of silver no good. In every
state where the action of the national
Populist convention is endorsed. a sep
crate electoral ticket Will be placed in
nomination and the silver vote divided.
This will mean victory for gold in
states where the vast majority of the
voters are for silver. Upon the con-
ce%ntration OF the strength OF its friends
depends ~silver's success.

The proper thing for Mr.. Watson to
do is to decline the nomination. There
was once q distinguished southron who
would rather be right than be presi-
dent. Mr.. Watson cannot even hone
to be vice-president. but he can be
right. Were he to withdraw from the

opinion. from his eccentric career in
congress. he will do no such thing. He
hasn't the stutf in him. His role in
this campaign is that Of the dog in the
manager, and he viii die in the last
ditch.
But no matter what the Populists at
St. Louis have done. Or what Mr.. Wat
son may do. the Populists Of the west
are too good silver men 20 throw away
this opportunity of voting for silver at
a time when silver most needs their
help. They can afford to be as patri- +.
