At the special election held in the
Fifth congressional district of Illi-
nois, for n successor to Edward d.
Cook, deceased, Henry S. Boutelle,
the Republican candidate, wase elected
over Vincent III. Perkins, his Demo-
cratic competitor, by $40 votes, the
total being Boutelle, 1O,204; Perkins,
1854. Landgren, Populist, received
22S and David, Prohibition, 10 votes.
At the last congressional election i'm
this district, which is located in Chi
cago, Cook was elected over Martin,
Democrat, by 6,579, the total vote
being Cook, 25,723; Martin, 10, IA. 1t
will be observed that there was u
falling off of over $1,000 votes COM
pared with the vote of last year. Or,
in other words, the total vote was
only a trifie larger than the vote
received by Martin, the Democratic
candidate who ran against Cook
last year. In this falling off of D.
900 votes is found the reason for the
decreased Republican majority. Yet,
taking the total vote, the percentage
is only a trihe smaller than it was a
year ago.

year and six months old his widowed
mother removed to the home of her
brother, Aaron Salisbury, on the
shores of Lake Erie in the western
part of New York. He lived in that
locality until he was So years of age.
Since that time he has been con-
nected with business interests in
Montana. He was superintendent OF
the line of stages running from Hele-
ma to Corinne, Utah, when it was
owned by the Salisbury's. The past
three years he has been living in
Butte. He was in usual health when
he was taken away without a mo-
ments warning. Maj. Reeds widow
and her daughter, Mrs. Corbin, are
now residents of Butte. Mrs. Corbin
was visiting friends in Cottonwood

The Largest Gold Nugget.

Referring to an item in the ARGUS
afew weeks since relative to the larg-
est gold nugget found in Montana,
Hon. James Fergus writes as follows:
"A nugget was taken out of Dead
wood gulch at the head of Snowshoe,
a tributary of the Blackfoot, in the
fall of 80, which was said to weigh
oveT $500, but owing to it's having
a little quartz in it was sold to a
Helena bank for something less. 1t
was exhibited i'm the window of the
banking house for some days before
it vas sent east. Henry and John
Brooks, who were also members OF
the little camp where the nugget was
found, can verify my statement, the
finder coming into the little cabin
where we were staying to borrow
s~teelyards to weigh it with"

The Chicago Haymarket product
who edits the Helena Independent,
addressing the Great Falls Tribune.
says: "A man who can think in a
straight line for 40 minutes can draw
the conclusion that free trade is right
and that restricted trade is wrong"
But that is just the trouble with the
editor of the Independent. He does
his thinking in a circle. A man with
a wheel necessarily thinks that
way. 1t has been demonstrated in
the past and is being demonstrated
now that protection does not re-
strict trade with other countries,
except as to those things that would
replace home manufacture. The total
expectations of the United States
during the months of August, Sep.
TENDER and October, exceeded those
for the corresponding months of 1896
by over $31 200, 900. Even If protec.
ton does restrict trade the home
market takes 80 per cen of u prod.
ucts and hence is of vastly greater
Importance. Every country will leg.
islate for it's own welfare first. That
is the policy of the Republican party
at least.

Deafness Cannot be ccred

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only M way to cure deaf
ness, and that IL by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have q rumbling sound OF 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 it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COUNTIES.
Bonded indebtedness of the noatana Counties
and School Districts rs Shown by
Official Figures.


lF1tltnd independently
One of the interesting tables that
will appear in the Forthcoming re-
port of Labor Commissioner Calder
head, is that relating to the bonded
Indebtedness of the counties of the
state. The report is brought down
to Feb. %, 1897, and includes all the
counties in the state save Broad
water, which was not at the time
mentioned created.
The total of the general county in
debtedness is shown to be So, 14O, 700,
and of the school district debt 81 ,O7O,-
414. The average rate of interest on
the whole debt is a little more than
six per cent, sc that the interest
charges on the two classes Of bonded
Indebtedness is more than a quarter
of a million dollars annually. The
highest rate of interest paid is on
$500 worth of school district bonds
issued in Dawson county, which
commanded eight per cent.
The following table shows how the
debt ia divided by counties.
