President Martins Address.

A large audience assembled in the
Presbyterian church last Sunday evening
to listen to the address of President Mar
tin. Special music had been prepared
for the occasion, and quartet composed
of Miss Voolfolk, Mrs. +. S. Davey, Sam
Beaumont and |. S. Eldred, rendered an
anthem, after which Miss Voolfolk sang
a beautiful solo. The address of DR..
Martin, which followed, was able and
eloquent. The first part of his discourse
was devoted to the subject of education,
and later he reviewed the excellent work
done by the College of Montana and its
good moral influence on the community.
Although the college was having hard
struggle to maintain itself, yet, consider
ing the great financial depression
throughout the country, the past year had
been one to give hope for the future of
the college.
At the conclusion of President Martins
address the yearly collection for the
board of aid for colleges was taken up.
This collection, which amounted to 800,
goes directly to the College of Montana.

Perhaps in no case as yet recorded has the
efficiency of popular remedy been found
so clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora E. Hill.
While her condition, caused by frightful
and distressing accident, places her beyond
the pale of perfect recovery, she has received
such marked relief that the story of the &C.
cident and the sufferings resulting from it,
will be of more than ordinary interest ia
thousands of invalds.
Mrs. Nora E. Hill, before September 1898,
was hale, hearty and strong woman, past
the middle age of life.
She tells the following story:
September l, 1898, while attending to
my duties about the house, gasoline stove
which had used for some time, suddenly
exploded, throwing the burning fluid over
me- Before my clothes which were on fire
were fearfully burned. This however, was
not my most serious injury, as had inhaled
some of the flames, and | found the inside OF
my mouth blistered. My hand and arm to
the elbow were burned to the bone, and my
physician believed amputation necessary,
but after weeks of great suffering. | was

Shortly after the process of healing OF

threw me into clammy perspiration. For

ton, my appetite was gone, and my nervous
system completely shattered.
81 lost confidence in everything, was
totally discouraged, and determined to go to
my. former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan,
nation of my condition. He did so and
found that gastric ulcers of the stomach had
formed which he said were incurable, and
were liable to produce cancer at any time
While in Grand Rapids the ulcers which
had formed in the stomach broke which

bed for several weeks When l became
sufficiently strong to get up | came back
here to die, as the doctor told me | might
last one week, possibly one month. But
determined to make as strong a fight as
could. and get all the medical aid there was
in Chicago.

most noted and celebrated medical colleges
here for examination. This examination
proved what my physician in Grand Rapids
told me viz, that there were gastric ulcers of
the stomach. The opinion of the college
physicians was that my chances of cure
were not one in one thousand. This was in
May 1894: in June was taken down with
gastric fever, caused by fresh ulcers forming,
and lay in bed nine weeks. From June TO
September in that year | also suffered adj.

Yukon Gold Fields.

Miners and prospectors contemplating
trip to Alaska should not overlook the
fact that the "N orth American Transpor-
tation and Trading Company" has estab-
lished new and elegant line of steamers
which will operate between Seattle, Wash,
aud the Yukon Gold Fields.
The first steamer will leave Seattle
June 10; the second, August 10, 1897.
From Seattle the steamers will pro-
ceed directly to "Fort Get There" on est.
Michael's Island," near the mouth of
Yukon river. There, change is made to
the company's river steamers, which pass
up the Yukon river to Circle City, Fort
Cudahy and Forty Mile; thus affording
an easy, pleasant and quick trip.

LANDS IN DEMAND,

Many Thousands Acres Filed Upon Last
Quarter in Helena District.
The report of the officers of the Helena
land offices for the quarter ended March
81, which has just been forwarded to the
department of the interior at Washington,
shows that considerable business was
transacted during the winter months.
Business is always lighter in the winter
quarter than any other as fewer entries
are made during cold weather. The total
receipts of the office during January,
February and March were $i2,7S1.14.
During the quarter 112 homestead en-
tries were filed, involving 1s,4G2 acres Of
the public domain. That is good deal
Of land to be taken up for settlement dur
ing the winter time. There were Al orig
inal desert land entries during the same
period, representing an acreage Of 4,S42
acres. Forty seven final proofs on home
stead entries were filed, conveying final
title from the COVER ment to the settler
of 7,441 acres of land all in the Helena

applications filed during the quarter.
Choteau, Cascade and Teton counties
