A Band of Bufa1oes.

A curious shipment passed through
Missoula yesterday on a special freight
consigned to Austin Corbin's great game
preserve in New Hampshire, says the
Missoula Democrat. The invoice con-
sisted of three full-bred buffalo calves
taken from Charles Allard famous herd
on the Flathead reservation and esti-
mated to be worth $1,000 each as they
stand in the car. They were driven on
hoof in company with a band of 10 more
from Allard's ranch to the railroad sta
tion at Ravalli, 1istanccfof about 20
miles, it being necessary to herd that
Number in order that the few desired
would be prevented from breaking away.
Some half dozen herders were engaged
in the task, but Notwithstanding the
precaution taken, two of the valuable
animals killed themselves while en-
route to the station. 1t. is almost i'm
possible to drive the pesky creatures, as

within few miles OF Ravali, when one
OF the calves. sought an encounter with a
massive post, leaving the aforesaid fence
hoFs de combat. Another foolish bull
caromed with telegraph pole with the
result that there was another buffalo
gone. When the consignment reached
Ravalli it was two buffaloes short and il
was with great difficulty that three were
landed safely on the cars, though not the
desired three, as two of the selected
ones had already gone to the buffalo
heaven III the manner stated. The
shipment made, the remaining animals
were returned to their range, and to
which they scampered faster than the
herders could follow them. The dead
calves were relieved of the hide and
skull and forwarded to Taxidermis,

which when mounted, will be worth al.
most as much as were the animals alive
The meat also was secured, which viii
sell readily at 80 cents pound.

Day tor Thanks.

The following is the first Thanksgiving
day proclamation that has come from
President Mckinley. 1t was issued from
washinEapn en- Friday, October 49, and
reads thus:
'In remembrance of Gods goodness
to us in the past year. which has been
so abundant, let us offer up to Him our
thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the
most high. Under His watchful Prov
idence industry has prospered, the con-
ditions of labor have been improved, the
rewards of the husbandmen have been
increased and the comforts of our homes
multiplied. His mighty hand has pre-
served peace and protected the nation,
Respect of law or order has strengthened,
love of free institutions cherished and all
sections OF our beloved country brought
into closer bonds of fraternal regard and
generous cooperation.
"For these great benefits it isour duty
to praise the Lord in spirit OF humility
and gratitude, and to offer up to Him
our most earnest applications. That
we may acknowledge our obligations as
q people to Him who has so graciously
granted us the blessings OF free govern
ment and material prosperity, !, William
Mckinley, president of the United
states do hereby designate and set apart
thursday, the twenty-ffth day of No
yember, 70, ytional thanksgiving and
prayer, which all of the people are in
,ited to observe with appropriate relig-
isus services in their respective places OF
worship.
"On this day OF rejoicing and domestic
reunion let our prayers ascend to the
giver of every good and perfect gift, for
the continuance of His love and favor
TO us, that our hearts may be filled with
charity and good will and that we may
be ever worthy OF his benefcent concern,
in witness hereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be acquired.

The States Potato Crop.

Washington's potato crop Is to cut
considerable figure in the markets OF the
world this year. There is shortage OF
the crop elsewhere, but in this state the
Weld has been as good as usual and the
quality OF the best. 1t is estimated that
the state will produce this year 5,OOO,OOO
bushels, while the total production OF
the United States will be l74,0O0,O 900, as
against 245,OO0,O0O bushels in 1896.
Washington has never claimed to be a
great potato producing state, but she
will soon assume that position If the
shortage continues. Heretofore the dill
ficulty in Washington has been finding
market for the potatoes produced.
Hundreds of tons have been allowed to
rot because of no market and only few
years ago several thousand bushels, sent
to San Francisco to be sold on commits
sion, were dumped into the bay or sold
at price barely sufficient to pay the
cost of the sacks.
The soil of the state on both sides OF
the mountains is we'll adapted to the
raising of potatoes. Could good mar
ket be obtained the crop could be made
enormous. This year good market APP
parently offers. 1t has been suggested
that inasmuch as there is market for
eyaporated potatoes the product OF the
state could be used in this manner. The
suggestion seems to be a good one.
Evaporated potatoes are in demand by
the shipping trade rnd by the thousands
who will rush to the Klondike in the
spring, as well as in the ordinary mar
ket of the world. This is comparatively
a new industry in this state, but there
are OF the present time several evapor-
ator plants in operation. Not only po-
patoes, but onions, carrots and other
vegetables are handled.
The loss by evaporation in weight is
said to be about three-fourths, hun
dred weight of tubers weighing wher
dried Is pounds. On the sound eyap
Grated potatoes sell at from Is TO q
cents pound. AT the present prices
for green potatoes it may be seen tha
the avaporating industry is profitable
one.

- Yes, we are always ready and willing to

Mrs. Mckinney to our question and con-
tinuing, she said: I'VE do not know what
the doctors called Mary'S affection. but we
took it TO be something like paralysis or ST.
NituS' dance, and we became very much
alarmed about her.
"Our local physician" she says, "now
tells us that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are as
good 4 thing as we could use; and while
Mary is apparently well, she has occasional
attacks of nervous headache, and then she
says: Mamma, l must take another Pink
Pill so you see she has great faith in them
but does not like 10 have us talk about her

From the Times, Paoba, Kansas.

A happy family is that of Mr.. James Nc
Kinney, of Hillsdale, Kansas, on whom a
Times reporter recently called. His bust
ness with these people was TO learn the facts
for his paper of the cure of their thirteen
year-old daughter from q case of nervous
prostration, and the facts were learned from
Mrs. Mckinney herself, who quickly told
the following story:
"The first perceptible result of her ex-
IRENE nervousness was apparent in hating

mother, land physician was called in to

hung listless and apparently ifeless by her
side"
1.-The physicians finally told u.s. con-
tiRued Mrs. Mckinney, " that Mary would
outgrow it in time, but by accident, my
husband picked up circular in his shop,
which so highly recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. that we concluded
10 try them. Mr.. Mckinney procured q
box at Grimes drug store in Paola, and we
began by giving Mary half pill at a time,
and gradually increasing to one pill at time,
and before we had used one box we could
see they were doing her good. This was one
year ago. She had been suffering at that
time for four years, under the DOCTORS and
we were so ENCOURAGED over the good effects
of tie use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, that
we continued to use them, and the child

Curran Recommended for Post
master.

One Of the hottest contests over
postoffices in the state since the new
administration began operations was
settled Monday so far as it can be
settled, by the filing of the formal
recommendation. The name of Henry
Curran for postmaster at Stevens Point
was placed on file for the Office at
Stevens Point and it is expected that
the appointment was sent to the senate
Tuesday. This is an overdue appoint
ment, and the strife over the place
has bsen vigorous.
Among the other recommendations
filed in the department today, were c..
J. Roosen for the office at Rudolph,
Wood county, H. P. Sorenson, at Big
Falls, Waupaca county, and Phillip
Groiner, at Erb, Outogamie county.
From the above it appears that Con-
gresham Minor is crowding appoint
ments in his district which will be APP
preciated by his constituents.

Our surprise was complete this week
Monday when Albert H. Burns, son of
our respected townsman Thomas Burns,
stepped into our Office and extended
his hand with cordial greeting. We
had not met for over twenty years
ever since we separated from school
work as graduates of the high school in
1877. During this interim Albert has
been home twice but we were absent
from the city and therefore failed to
see him. We were schoolmates and
classmates together and therefore We're
very friendly. Our school days
possessed common joys and SORROWS
that blended our lives together in
timately, and I was delighted to renew
my old friendship with him. He has
not changed except in experience and
knowledge of which we judge he has
had his full share. He is the same
whole-souled, good natured, friendly
Albert that he used to be. He halls
from kalispiel, Montana, where he is
in the mercantile business. We hope
to have the pleasure of meeting his
wife whom we know must be a help
mate in every respect. May prosperity
and success continue TO be with them
the balance Of their days is the wish Of
an old friend.
