Senator Mantle, who has returned
home from Washington, was inter-
viewed a few days since and is quoted
as saying: Montana Jared pretty
well. We got a tariff on wool, hides,
barley, coal, lead and such articles.
So far as the state is concerned i
think 1t was taken are Of. Wool
came out well, but did not get as
much as l thought it was entitled to.
An unsatisfactory feature Of the Nc
Kinley bill was retained by which
the woolgrowers will never get the
actual protective benefit, bat instead
will receive only about hail. Mr.
Mantle, however, sta'es that tho
present law is a great improvement
over the Wilson-Gorman law.

stacles to contend with in order to
secure the much coveted gold. 1t is
only the few that get the cream OF

ties are not great az yet and the
thousands flocking there will rel

ously before he starts for the land Of

A Remarkable Cure Of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when l served my country
as a private in Company A, l67th

tracted chronic diarrhoea. 1t has
given me a great deal of trouble ever
since. i have tried a dozen different
medicines and several prominent
doctors without any permanent re-
lief. Not long ago a friend sent me
u sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem.
edy, and after that l bought and
took a 30 cent bottle; and now L can
say that l am entirely cured. 1 can.
not be thankful enough to you for
this great remedy, and recommend
it to all suffering veterans. If in
doubt write me. Yours gratefully,

Judge Tuley Of Chicago has decided
the new city ordinance establishing a
vehicle tax to be void. The ordi-
nance permitted the city to collect
81 a year license from each bicycle
owner and for other vehicles proper
%tionately. The court held that the
city had no right to license bicycles,
but only an occupation, and could
not impose a license upon specific
property when not used in business
or in occupation. This seems like
good law but 1t will deprive the city
of a great deal of revenue.

in agriculture, and 6S per cent OF ITS

very productive. Last year it produced
100000 bushels of wheat, besides an
immense quantity of corn, rye and
barley. Taking all grain together Ru'
mania raises an average of 20 bushels to

bushels to the inhabitant, to 40 bushels

He was born in Ohio, of parents in
very humble circumstances, and gradu-

head of his class. He served as a Lieu
tenant of Engineers until the breaking
out of the war, when he became an Aid
with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
He was on Gen. Grants staff at Donel-
son and Shiloh, and was promoted to
Brigadier-General of Volunteers in May,
1862. 1t was not intended that he
should take command of troops, but ne
seized such opportunities as presented
themselves, and displayed so much
energy and ability that Grant became
strongly attached to him, and soon had
him in command of division, and then
of corps: In the movement on VIcks-
burg he commanded the entire right
wing of the Army of the Tennessee,
and held the advance. He did notably
well at Raymond and jackson. In the
