Elk in Plenty.

| know proceed to tell grand story.
Deputy Game Warden Manning and 9TH
ers were estimating the number of elk in
view the other day, and it was estimated
that $4,000 head of elk were in plain view,
and that from 10000 TO $4,000 elk were
now in the immediate vicinity Of jackson
Hole proper. No such number Of elk
ever attempted to winter in Jackson Hole
for many years. They are on every hill,
in every valley, and the night SCUM ds are
piteous from the crying Of the calves lost
from their mothers, and when day breaks,
from the great swamp can be seen thou
sands aud thousands of elk travelling to-
wards the hills on the Gros Ventre. To-
day gaZed upon a sight which far sur
passed anything | have ever SCENT ut
terly astonished and amazed me. For a
distance of six miles a herd of elk we're
stretched out travelling through the snow
making a trail which was packed as hard
as tlinted ice. know there were $4,000
head. Where did these immense herds
come ftom, and what will become of them
this winter? These questions no one can
answer, as winter is here with the ther-
mometer ranging from Is to 30 degrees
below zero and foot Of snow-Letter in

MRS. HOYER's FUNERAL
Simple Services ut the Grave-Her I
band Had Full Charge.

Simple Services at the Graye-Her Hus-
band Had Full Charge.
1t was a very simple funeral that was
given yesterday to Mrs. Matte Hoyer,
who ended her life on Thursday night in
the apartments of William T. Eastman in
the Owsley block, says the Butte Sunday
Miner. Had the women who had known
her in the half world been allowed to
have their way the obsequies would have
been most elaborate and the cortege most
striking. But II. L. Hoyer, the husband
of the dead woman, would not permit the
people with whom his wife had for time
associated to pay anything towards her
funeral expenses. That he insisted on
attending to himself. VIZ"
The class Of women who had known
Mrs. Hoyer during the latter part of her
life are proverbial for their generosity
towards the dead of their class. The
finest casket and the most expensive fit
ting are always in order when the women
of the town unite in paying the last hon
oAS
were prepared to do in the case of "Peg-
gie,' but the husband would not allow it..
He ordered q plain, unostentatious coffin
and very simple ceremony The only
inscription on the plate was SAT Rest"
Accordingly, yesterday afternoon, nine
people, besides the undertaken and his
assistants, assembled in the back room of
Joe Richards place on Park street. One
Of these people was the dead woman's
husband, and three were druggists who
had been associated. with him in that
business from time to time. Four others
were women who had known the de-
ceased Gin life. The ninth was the Rev.
S. G. Blackiston.
There were no services in the under
taking rooms. When the last look had
been taken at the face of the dead woman
and the lid had been fastened down the
casket was carried to the funeral car out
side. The husband and his three friends
and the minister took their places in the
car, with the undertaken and his assist
ants. By request the women did not 70
along with the rest of the party. They
took carriage and followed the funeral
train to the Mount Moriah cemetery.
At the cemetery the minister read the
beautiful ceremony of the Episcopal
church and the body of the suicide was
lowered into grave in the public lot.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an intlamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is intlamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Gov. Richards has pardoned Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Clark, who were convicted
in 1895 of the murder Of John P Stewart
in Missoula county and sentenced to the
penitentiary for II years. The C!arks
were convicted on the testimony of Mrs.
Clark's daughter, Mrs. Mary Stewart, wife
of the murdered man, who about a year
ago, confessed to having perjured her
self at the trial. Mrs. Stewart, apparently
filled with remorse at what she had done,
agreed to sign a statement admitting as
false what she had sworn to as witness,
but before doing 80 committed suicide.
