THE FLYING SQUADRON.
1t L. Not Made Clear Why the Fleet Is
Coming West.

Portsmouth, Eng. Jan. 1.-THE flying
squadron is assembled at Spitshead. 1t is
reported the destination of the squadron
after leaving Bantry bay, Ireland, will be
the Bermudas.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE cable report
to-day from Portsmouth, England,
whence the British flying squadron is
about to sail that its destination may be
the Bermudas cannot be confirmed in any
official quarter here. The British squad
ron already at and about the Bermudas
consists of Is ships. Should the Ports
mouth report be true II would increase
this squadron to % ships. or Is. including
the six torpedo catchers. 1t is doubted
that Great Britain would send such
powerful fleet into American waters at
this time when their presence would be
regarded almost certainly as a hostile
demonstration, certainly uncalled for as
long as diplomacy has not yet exhausted
it's resources in settlement of the differ
ences between the United States and
Great Britain.

Bits About Venezuela.

Eight states are in the union.
The population of Venezuela is 2.121,-
Venezuela contains 100000 square
miles.
Fifteen per cent. of the population
are pure-blooded Indians.
The territory in dispute is about the
size of Maine. hrl
British Guiana was acquired by Eng
land through treaty in 1914.
In 1898 the amount of gold mined in
Venezuela was AZ, 800 ounces.
Slavery in the republic was abolished
by the decree of March "a, 1854.
Venezuela's export trade with New
York reaches 5000 900 a year.
Difficulties between Venezuela and
Great Britain first arose in 1896.
II is estimated that about rs revolu
tions have occurred since the estab-
lishment of the republic.
An absolute separation of church and
state has been effected; civil marriage
is insisted on, and other admirable and
progressive institutions have been es-
tablished.
Previous TO 1886 her public school
system was very unimportant. only
1872 pupils being in attendance at the
public schools in the year mentioned.
Now the attendance exceeds 100000.
The financial system of Venezuela is
the admiration and envy of all South
American countries, the single gold
standard being in force and the public
debt of quite insignificant proportions.

HENRY VOCEL'S BILL
An Interesting Suit Over the Account
Is Fairly Launched.
EMINENT COUNSEL ENGAGED
Five Damage Suits, Aggregating
$4,000. Instituted Against the
Great Falls g. Canada Rail-
road-ChIIdren Plaintiffs.

Great Falls, Jan. 1.-THE state OF
Montana ex rel H. b. Palmer vs.
Charles NJ Webster, mayor; c. II. Clark
and the city of Great Falls, came up for
trial in the district court to-day This
is the suit already mentioned In the
Standard wherein Palmer seeks TO en-
force the payment of a balance OF 49,
O03 60, due Henry Vogel by the city on
the Central avenue paving contract.
Vogel has assigned the claim to Palmer,
but the city refuses to pay 1t until Vo-
gel has settled all outstanding claims
for wages and material. The case APP
pears to hings on Vogers assignment.
Col w. F. Sandars of Helena and Lar
gent & Huntoon of this city appear LOT
the plaintiff. The defense is conducted
by City Attorney Stephenson, assisted
by Attorneys Brady and Leslie. Inc
entire morning was consumed in the Sc
lection of the following jury: Z. d. DID
BILE, ]. Z. Kenkle. f. ID. Joscelyn, Jake
Pfefferly, Matt Furnell, j. A. Duncan,
H. F. Collett. George H. Marsh, c. Z.
French, Gus Minter, w. j. Winters, j.
F. Mcclellan. H. B. Palmer and City
Clerk Clark were the only witnesses
called by the plaintiff They were fol-
lowed by Vogel for the defense His d.
rect examination was not concluded
when court adjourned for the day.
There were several passages at arms
between the respective attorneys, the
old warhorse in particular being more
or less sarcastic. The trial promises to
be quite interesting tomorrow, when
the colonel starts cross-examining Vo-
gel
Five damage suits, aggregating in the
neighborhood of $4,000, were to-day in
stituted against the Great Falls & Can
ada railroad by local firm of lawyers.
Personl injuries arising out of a wreck
on the road which occurred Dec. 20,
1895, in Teton county, about 10 miles
this side of the boundary line, are al
legged. The plaintiffs and the amounts
asked are: Mary Pierce, $4,000; Maud
Pierce, $1,000; William Pierce, $40, 900; j.
F. Pierce, $4,000 all minor children of
James Pierce, a well-known old-time
Montanan. There Is also claim OF
$1,000 for baggage.
From the accounts of the accident at
the time of it's occurrence 1t appears
that James Pierce and the plaintins
were passengers on the south-bound
train. They were riding in the passen-
ger coach attached to the caboose. The
coach left the track, dragging the ca
boose with 1t and, catching fire from an
overturned stove, was consumed. The
wind was blowing a gale. and the rail-
road company claims the cars were
blown from the track, which would
make the accident an act of Providence.
for which the company was in no way
liable. The defendants allege the trucks
of the coach were defective.

TrilbY Shattered.

The members of the New York So
cial Culture club, who met TO talk
about what they knew about hypno-
tism, shattered a popular idol recently.
The speakers. among whom were DIR.
Drayton, DIR. Beal and DR.. Fisher. ex-
perts on mesmerism and hypnotism,
said that II was impossible for young
woman like Trilby to sing as she did
under the influence of Svengali. They
said she had no voice, no ear for mu-
sic and no brains, and even IL she had
all these things IL would have been inn
probable that Svengali could have in
fiuenced her as he did. DR.. Drayton
said that he was thoroughly convinced
that Du Maurier knew little or moth
ing about hypnotism and that the hyp-
nothing incident in his book was mere
romancing.

Two Little Playmates.

Great Falls, Jan. 17.-While George
Perkins was busy at his workbench this
morning he was pleasantly startled at
receiving the following telegram from
his wife, now in the East:
Sandy, Me-, Jan. 18th, George Per-
kins, Great Falls, Mont. We have a
new boy and girl. Name them. (Signed)
Anna d. Perkins" George was stunned
for a moment, then whirled around,
shook himself by the hand, notified his
friends of the happy event, and has
been receiving congratulations ever
since.

HE LOST THE KEYS.
And hadn't Even the satisfaction of Land

ing That Big, sulking salmon.
From Blackwood's Magazine
1t is a good maxim to have patience
with a weeded fish; indeed. this virtue
often stands in good stead. 1 once knew
a friend of mine put to serious incon-
venience for want of 1t. He had hooked
a heavy salmon, and the fish lay down
and sulked, as salmon will do once in a
half a dozen seasons. though not near
ly so often, If properly handled, as
some people suppose. My friend was a
good fisherman and allowed his
fish to take no liberties; nevertheless.
this salmon lay down in a deep black
pool. Every known expedient was tried
to stir him; stones were thrown in-the
only result was that the FISH took lei
surely turns and returned to his strong
hold. The angler got below him. above
him. alongside of him and pulled on to
him to the limit of the strength of his
tackle-all to no purpose. A fine after
noon was ebbing away and fish in the
river were on the job. What was to be
done?
A bright thought occurred to the
sportsman. He had a bunch of keys in
his pocket-the keys of his most sacred
repositories. They We're on a string
that opened like a hinge Fitting this
around the butt of his rod. without
having the patience TO remove the keys.
he ran IL down over the point, and the
whole bunch went rafting down the
line and lodged on the salmon's nose. 1t
had a splendid effect. Away went the
fish like a dog with a tin kettle at it's
tail: 20. so yards of the line whizzed
from the reel. and then-there came
disaster. The point OF the rod few up:
the fish was gone; back came the flies.
but back did not come the keys Thirty
seconds would have sufficed to remove
the keys before using tl-o ri~~. ~ and

WHY
BECAUSE


The wonderful cures he has made have
created condolences and delight in the
hearts of those who have struggled In
vain against the raVages of nervous de-
biity and other diseases, until this sue
cessfu doctor (whose picture appears

DIR. SWEANY does not allow the
names of his patients or their diseases 10
be published or exposed. but he cures
them. He observes absolute confidence
and the strictest secrecy In all his pro-
fessional dealings.
The DR.. has thousands of testimonials
on file in his private office and consulta-
ton rooms. They are not fictitious OF so
licited They are genuine, and were vol
unfairly given as true, deep, sincere and
heartfelt expressions OF gratitude and

for yourself what he has accomplished

Washington, Jan. 17-Cardinal Satolli
has not rendered the services of Pope Leo
as arbitrator of the Venezuela contro-

now any intimation that he will be called

to the report in the London Chronicle that
the pope had taken this step through the
American delegate.

President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio,
is highly respected all through that
section. He has lived in Clinton Co.
IS years, and has been president of
the Sabins Bank 90 years. He gladly
testifies TO the merit OF Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and what he says is worthy
attention. All brain workers find
Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted
TO their needs. 1t makes pure, rich,
red blood, and from this comes nerve,
mental, bodily and digestive strength.
81 am glad to say that Hoods Sarsspa-
rills is q very good medicine, especially
as a blood purifier. 1t has done me good
many times. For several years 1 suffered
greatly with pains of
