Beware Of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,

AS mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is tenfold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be
sure you get the genuine. 1t is taken

of "the nasty practice" of repeating this

Then think of room coated with pure,

1T Is EASY.

1t is easy for any one to understand
that Alabastine, the basis of which is a
cement that when applied to any clean,
solid surface goes through process of
setting and grows hard with age, should
be durable, that is, not rub and scale
off, but admit of recoating from time to
time without having to wash and scrape
off its old coats before renewing. 1t is
equally plain that all kalsomines are the

reverse of this, being manufactured
from whiting, chalks, clays, ETC., for
base, and being stuck on the wall with
glue, which when exposed to the air,
moisture, etc., soon decays, and the
rubbing and scaling then commences,
leaving the wall in a terrible condition.
See that Alabastine is in packages
and properly labeled, taking nothing
offered as "just as good" or 1.-The
same thing" Druggists and paint
dealers sell it.

FOREST FIRES.
Thought to Have Been Started Through
S~pitework.

The forest fires on Brush creek and
around Bald mountain have about died
out. Those started in the tie camps on
lArush creek and vicinity, were soon ex-
tinguishod by the tie men. but the one
started on Bald mountain burned over
a large tract of timber before dying out.
The Sun is informed from a reliable
source that the fire in the tie camp was
started by some one intent on mischief
as fresh horse tracks to and from the
place where both fires were started
were plainly visible. The governments
mas determined to take a hand in this
forest fire business and we may look
for an investigation of the tie camp
fires.-Saratoga Sun.

WOLVES ON TIE STOCK RANGES
Cattle Raisers Again Bitterly Com
planning of Their Costly Ravages.

Unless some method is discovered
very o o to eXterminate the wolves
on the Black Hills ranges stockmen
will he compelled to either go out of
me business or 10Y their herds to a
country where the wolves do not eX-
list. The same condition exists in the
western part of North Dakota. Eastern
Wyoming and in New Mexico and
Texas.
Stockmen estimate that each wolf
during the year will do 500 damage to
a herd of cattle. One cattle owner in
Butte county reports having lost forty
head of steers last season by wolves.
Old cattlemen are of the opinion THAT
there is but one way to exterminate
them, and that is by concerted action
of the states and counties in making
wolf hunting a profitable business. BY
placing a bounty of $40 upon every
wolf and paying the amount in cash,
and not in long time warrants. and by
having every county in all the states
join in the business. it is thought there
would be quick work made of the ami
mails.
The same bounty should be placed
on old and young. male and female
alike. When a discrimination is made
in the age. wolf hunters are apt to rear
the young pups by hand until old
enough to receive full bounty. More
care should be taken by the officers
whose duty it is to check up the scalps
and see that no fraud is perpertrated.
Often coyote scalps are palmed off for
wolf. There are several methods used
by professional wolf hunters to capture
the animals. The use of hounds is be-
coming common. but it is expensive,
and dogs can only be used in the open
country. A good pack of fifteen hounds
would eat a beef every two weeks for
food. Using poison is another COM
mon method, and in a new country it
is considered the cheapest and most
effective. but the wolves soon become
suspicious and avoid the doctored bait.
are those who believe that
wolves have an antidote. some kind of
weed which they eat when they are
poisoned. When using poison there is
great risk that dogs. cattle, horses and
domestic animals may eat of the
poisoned bait with serios results. Dig
ging out the young is pracsiced by many
hunters. When a den can be located
it means a good sum for the hunter in
bounty money. Trapping is used as
commonly as any other method, and is
probably as successful as any.
The DC hunter makes the statement
hat when the bounty is made large
enough. professional wolf hunters will
find a way Of exterminating the ami
mails. Coyotes do not do much DANCE
except to sheep and barn fowls. The
usual bounty for them is from so cents
to 81. AS a rule the stockmen would
prefer not to have the coyotes entirely
killed off. 1t has been the history of
other countries that as soon as they are
exterminated jack rabbits. gophers and
prairie dogs increase at an astonishing
rate and become greater nuisances and
do more real damage than the coyotes.
Cattlemen are becoming serious in the
matter of eXterminating the wolves, !
and meetings are beeing called all over )
the country to consider the question:

NO MORE BODIES FOUND,

A letter from James V. Catlin who /,
at Thermcpolis searching for the bodies
OF the unfortunate victims who were
drowned in the Big Horn river on the
22nd of June. states that no more bodies
have been found. When the boat cap
sized with all on board, Oliver Gray,
whose body was recovered. had about
$25 in the inside pocket of his vest,
but when found he had on neither coat
nor vest. and they with the money are
still missing. Harry Begg. whose body
Is yet in the ~treacherOus water. had
5000 pinned on the inside CT his vest.
and some money in his pants pockets.
1t was his intention to purchase some
land lear the springs and he took the
money with hin to make the first pay
ment on the land. The search will con-
tinue for the three bodies. but Mr.Cant-
lin has little hopes of finding them.

swer the questions which people are

the low price at which the atlas is pub
lished, so cents, will make ignorance OF
