About seven years ago the La Grippe
visited various sections of the country
IN its deadly might scattering disease and
death among its hosts of victims.
Most of those afflicted who escaped
death then, have lived on IN suffering,
broken IN health and ambition; for the
after-effects of this disease are dangerous.
A large portion of the survivors have .
feeling Of oppression in the chest.
A 1ittle exertion Causes violent action

There Is mental anxiety, depression,
b1ueness of the skin, indicating impaired
circulation of the blood.
The sluggishness of its circulation i'm

the stomach and intestines fail to perform
their work, while the appetite and diges-
ton become seriously affected.
This complaint has baffled ezli1ent
physicians and exhausted the results of
pharmacopoeia.
Recently, however, a means for a cure
has been obtained.
Among those who have been restored to
health by 1t is Herman H. Eveler, of 8t1

Of that city for thirty-eight years, well

A Funny Little Ccb Hear


The funniest model in my experience
was cub bear: and during his visit to
the studio we laughed more than we
worked. While his a?tics were very
amusing, it was the indescribably funny
expression he always wore which kept
the studio in such state of kilarity.
"Cnbcknown" to us one day he got
out; and, walking along on his hind
legs in ridiculous shuttle. effectually
blockaded the hallway. until we came
to the rescue of the frightened people.
1t was not the only time he fell into
trouble. When we first came into pos
session of little BrUin we sent the studio
boy with a large basket to bring the
treasure uptown. The boy was eau
toned to be very careful of his charge
in fact. he was cautioned too much
On the elevated train that boy fairly
ached to get a look at the bear, and
so opened the lid the tiniest bit. and
peeped in. Instantly the animal
thrust his whole head out. to the great
astonishment of the lady passengers.
among whom he created small panic
II is needless to say that both bear and
boy were put off at the first stopping

Dewey's Victory.

The early reports of Admira'
Dewey's engagement with the enemy
came through Spanish sources, and
although colored somewhat, no doubt
existed as to the destruction of the
Spanish fleet nor of a glorious victory
for the Americans. The cable being
cut, nearly a week elapsed before news
from Dewey reached the United
States. Last Saturday the navy de-
partment at Washington received
the anXiously awaited cablegram.
and the news was flashed across the
country to gladden. the heart of every
American. And it was better news
than the most sanguine hoped for.
He had destroyed the Spanish fleet,
silenced their batteries, taken the
fortifications and effected a landing
at Cavite, and was in complete con-
troll of the bay. All this, strange to
say, was accomplished without the
loss of a man or a ship. A half dozen

and tOrpedoes and sailed into Ma
nilla harbor, to the utter surprise of
the enemy. At the first break of day
he was ready to engage the enemy.
The battle lasted for two hours, and
at the close there was little left of the
Spanish armament i'm Asiatic waters
Not in ancient or modetn times has
this naval victory been surpassed
In coolheadedness, Judgment, skill
and courage Admiral Dewey and
his gallant tars have won n high
place i'm naval warfare.
1t is beyond comprehension that
not a single life should be lost to our
fleet i'm such a fierce engagement of
two hours duration. 1t demon
strates the superiority of our navy
in everything that pertains to naval
warfare.
Dewey and his men have well sus-
tained the glory of this country on
the water and the old sea dog will be
linked i'm history along with Perry,
Jones, Lawrence and Farragut, even
should he never engage i'm another
battle.

Because Troop Il of Bozeman was
put aside and a newly-recruited COM
pany at Butte selected in it's place,
the Helena Independent accuses Sen
ators Carter and Mantle of political
trickery. This is rather queer. In
all probability there are as many
Democrats in the Butte company as
there are in the Bozeman organiza-
tion. 1t is unfortunate that this war
is too insignificant to give all the pa
triots a chance.

GARY RESIGNS.
Postmaster General Retires and
Charles Emory Smith is
Appointed.

Washington, April 21.-Postmaster
General Gary has resigned and Charles
Emory Smith has been appointed in his
place.
Postmaster General Gary resigned on
account of i'll health. The Pennsylva-
MIA senators were consulted before Mr..
Smiths appointment was made.
1t is stated at the White House, that
Postmaster Gary's resignation had alb
solutely nothing whatever to do with
our present foreign complications. 1t
was owing entirely, it is stated, to the
condition of Mr.. Gary's health. He
has suffered a great deal of late from
general breaking down of the system
which had continued to progress until
finally Mr.. Gary reluctantly reached the
conclusion that he was unable longer
to carry the burden of his office.
Charles Emory Smith, the new post
master general, is at present editor of
the Philadelphia Press. He has been
minister to Russia and is an earnest
active Republican.
Postmaster General Gary was seen
at the postoffice department, as he was
about to leave for the White House, to
attend cabinet meeting. He was
asked as to his resignation and said:
Yes, I have resigned, and Charles
Emory Smith will be my successor. The
ground of my retirement is my ill
health which has been growing steadily
until I regard it as imperative that
should lay down the labors of the post

office department. Some time ago I
acquainted the president with my desire
to retire, Indicating to him, that I
would of course await the selection of a
suitable man as my successor. He
found such a one in Mr.. Smith. My
resignation was therefore renewed,
taking final form last Sunday when I
submitted to the president my written
resignation, expressing the deep regret
1 felt at giving up my work and sever
ering agreeable relations and stating
that my action was impelled out of re-
gard for my health. The transfer of the
department will be made as soon as this
can be done conveniently to all con-
cerned.'
Mr.. Gary was asked if his suggestion,
coming at the time of the Spanish war
crisis, could in any way be attributed
to that. He said:
''That has not entered into the consid-
Grafton in any way whatever. 1 have
at all times supported President Nc
Kinley's policy on the Spanish question,
1 support it now. My cabinet relations
have been most agreeable and there
have been no differences of policies
