TEN PERANCE.

A grand state intercollegiate orator
zeal contest was held in connection
with the convention of Massachusetts
prohibitionists ON June 9.
William Waldorf Aston, in reply to
the question, How may a poor man
make A fortune?" says, in the New
York World: Rum and tobacco he
should entirely avoid. No man can
make money unless his brain is clear,
and clear it can not be when clouded
with the fumes of alcohol ad tobacco"
The Supreme Court of Illinois has
decided that the testimony Of police
officers and city employees against
blind pig" keepers is valid, and a re-
versal Of the ruling recently made in
the case of Evanston VS.. Meyers, by
Judge Waterman. AS a result Of the
new ruling two blind pigs" have vol
unfairly gone out of business.
A new proposition in regard to Alas
ka's prohibition law is that in the list
of occupations taxed to secure revenue,
restaurants" be included, every place
that sells refreshments" being taxed
500, but with no permission for the
sale of anything illegal, although it is
considered probable that the refresh
ments" will often include illegal Ii
quors until public sentiment in all or
parts of the country has been so devel-
oped hat the prohibitory law can be
taken up, like a neglected sword, and
- C1 H.
case in the pending law will not make
it any the less the duty of the secretary
of the treasury TO enforce prohibition.
1t will leave upon all liquor sellers se
brand of outlaws, with no rights in the
courts. The new government tax is,
no doubt, Objectionable in that it pre-
supposes, though it does not permit,
liquor selling, less directly, however,
than the internal revenue tax.

ImuOrtant to Mothers.

The manufac urerS OF Castoria have been
compelled to spend hundreds OF thousands of
dollars to familiar &c The public with the sig
nlture OF Chas IL. Fletcher. This has been
necessitated by reason Of pirates counterfeit
10, the Ces -oria trade mark. This counter
feiting is a crime rot only against the Iroprie-
tors of Castoria, but against the growing
generation. All persons should be careful TO
see that CaStoria bears the signature OF Chas.
II. Fletcher, il they would guard the health of
their children. Parents and mothers, IN par
~ticular, Ought TO carefully examine the
Castoria advertisements which have been ap-
pcaring in this paper, and to remember that
the VIZ PIPER Of every bottle OF genuine Castoria
bears the fac-simile signature OF Cha. II.
Fletcher. under whose supervision it has been
manufactured continuously for over thirty
years.

BIO GOLD NUGGETS.
A Montana Collection of which Eve

A Montana Collection OF Which Every
Specimen Has a History.
Helena, Mont. Especial to New York
Sun).-For years one Of the national
banks of this city had collected gold
nuggets. With the failure Of the bank
a year ago the collection was sold and
was bought for little more than it's i'll
trinsic value by the Conrad brothers,
cattlemen, ranchers, bankers, and
freighters, Of Kalispel, in the far west
ern part of the state. They made a
large fortune in Indian trading and
freighting when the territory was
young, which they had steadily in
ing since then, and they could easily
afford the few thousand dollars they
tied up in gold specimens. Besides,
there was a state pride in keeping this
collection in Montana. Montana will
snow this collection at the Paris exhi-
bition in 1900. There the rounded or
1attened chunks Of yellow pebbles will
attract attention. The biggest Of them
is Of the size of a small paving block
and weighs five pounds. 1t is worth
$1,000, and is said to be the largest
nugget of gold ever taken from a mine
in America, so far as authentic records
60. One was said to have been taken
out Of Nelson Gulch in this state that
was worth $4,000, but it reached the
melting pot SO soon that nobody has
ever been found who saw it.. Another
story tells Of a 81, 200 nugget, but this
is not to be found, and nobody will
swear that he yer saw it. One beauti-
fully symmetrical specimen in the col
lection weighs forty-eight ounces, and
is SO pure that it is worth S21 an ounce,
or 81, 600, while there are three Others
that weigh from forty-fve to twelty
ounces each. -Four or five more 90
above ten ounces and a dozen more
above two. There are thirty-eight mug
gets Of about an ounce each and forty
of smaller size, besides a pound Of dust,
purer than if filed from a double eagle,

rubies, all Montana specimens, com

lection would be a rich haul for any
thief, for it's value in the melting pot
would be not far from $4,000, and It's
actual worth is much greater. Scarce
ly n article in the lot but has its his
tory. Some were the unexpected re-
ward of long toll, continued after every
chance seemed to be against the miner.
Others have stories of Indian raids,
robbery and murder, of road agents and
early day ~yigilantes. Scarcely one is
from a camp that is now active, ex-
| cept for the Cinnamon who are washing
over the old ground. Most are from
this state, but several of the most valu-
able specimens come from California,
and some come from the scene Of the
great rush of the early SOS, the far
north country of the Cariboo and Ii
looet, toward which Montana pioneers
toiled over mountains and across great
rivers, only to be driven back by saw
age Indians or to die in the fields they
had found.
